Chapter 378 War 1 is about to break out
Jun Mo pressed his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "According to reliable information, there are 120,000 Western Region soldiers and about 100,000 residents along the coast of the Western Region. Yesterday, 20,000 Western Region soldiers left the coast to reinforce the Fifth Prince! Our chance has come!
Get ready today and tomorrow, and go into the forest to wait. Once the troops from the western coastal areas leave, we will unite with the slaves there and start the war!"
"Start the war! Start the war! Start the war!" Deafening cheers accompanied by drumbeats resounded through the sky.
The people were waiting outside with the supplies they had prepared early in the morning, and everyone wanted to do what they could to help the war.
Seeing Yu Jiuer appear, the people swarmed up and surrounded her. Niu Xiaoqiang, the husband of Princess Qingyang, was at the front and was the first to express his opinion:
"Sir, although I am not very good at martial arts, I am very agile. When I was hungry and went hunting in the forest, I could even avoid tigers. Please let me go with you!"
As soon as this person spoke, other people also started to ask for reinforcements.
"I can treat poultry and I know a little bit about medicine. I can help the wounded. Let me lend a hand!"
"I work quickly, please let me do my part, sir!"
"I'm strong, so how can I not have a role in fighting the people from the Western Regions? Ninth Miss, please, let us go! We are too uncomfortable to stay at home!"
......
Wang Meng and the farm workers were all eager to join the war!
Her twelve disciples also led a group of people, clamoring to join.
Yu Jiuer pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay! After the war breaks out, you go to the forest to pick up the slaves who have escaped.
But you can only stay behind. The front is dangerous. You must not go in. You will affect the performance of the soldiers. All actions must be carried out according to command!"
"Yes! Thank you for your help!"
Lu Zhishen's wife, Lu Liu, wiped her tears and said, "That's great! Five years ago, we escaped from the Western Regions, but my mother didn't make it back. I waited day and night for this day to finally come."
Yu Jiuer turned around and ordered the six female assassins: "The six of you stay behind to protect the people!"
"Chief, please let us follow you!" This was the first time the six people disobeyed Yu Jiuer and they all knelt down to beg for mercy.
"The people must be protected, you..."
Before Yu Jiuer finished speaking, Ying Yi stared at the secret guards behind Yu Jiuer and said, "Chief Leader, please let the secret guards stay to protect the people! They know the people before us, so they are more suitable than us!"
The guards' faces changed when they heard this. They didn't expect these women to be so shameless. They hurriedly said, "Master, don't listen to their nonsense. When it comes to being attentive, how can a man compare to a woman? Women are the most suitable to take care of the people!"
"Stop talking nonsense, you can't beat us..."
"We can't beat you? We are letting you go! Aren't you bullying an honest person?..."
The secret guards were not convinced, and the six female assassins were unwilling to be outdone. Seeing the two sides arguing louder and louder, Yueying caught a glimpse of Yu Jiuer frowning and shouted quickly: "Stop!"
Yu Jiuer rubbed his forehead and ordered, "You two groups of people, take turns to protect the people! Yueying will make the arrangements, and no one is allowed to follow me without following my orders!"
Why are they all rushing to the front lines to die?
"Yes! We obey the order of our chief leader (master)!" People on both sides bowed respectfully.
After finishing this, Yu Jiuer hurried to help prepare food and fodder.
During this battle, the down jacket factory worked overtime day and night to produce a batch of lightweight down vests. Even though the quantity was not enough for every soldier to have one, it was a token of her appreciation.
Yu Jiuer had previously temporarily opened a food factory specifically for war, and prepared a lot of compressed biscuits that were easy to carry and filling for the soldiers.
In order to drive the people from the Western Regions out in one fell swoop, Yinshan County showed unprecedented unity.
Before leaving, the old emperor brought everyone to see him off.
He said to Jun Mo earnestly: "You are going to fight in the enemy camp in this battle, so you must not take it lightly! You must return safely!"
After giving instructions, Jun Mo turned to Yu Jiuer and taught her earnestly: "As a woman, since Moer doesn't allow you to go to the front, you should stay at the back and don't show off!
I am still waiting for you to come back and argue with me, to add fun to my life, please don’t let me down by not coming back!”
"Father is right. Follow his teachings!"
Yu Jiuer, contrary to her usual behavior, bowed and saluted repeatedly.
Her politeness made the old emperor dazed for a moment: "What do you want to do?"
There is definitely something wrong with Yu Jiuer's attitude! Whenever she is polite, she is usually up to something bad!
As expected, Yu Jiuer smiled at the old emperor and said sincerely: "Father, I know you are very smart. You always gave in to me when we argued in the past. Can you be more magnanimous and not argue with me? It is extremely dangerous to go to the Western Regions now. Before I leave, I want to ask you a favor!"
"what's up?"
"I want my father to make a promise. If you return to the court one day, please first abolish the Yinshan Contract, okay?"
She won't be able to rest in peace until this matter is settled!
"Alright! In order to allow you to face the enemy with peace of mind, I will agree to it!"
Haven't you suffered enough this time? There is a way out, so the old emperor naturally has no reason to refuse.
After getting the old emperor's promise, Yu Jiuer smiled so well that her eyebrows were bent.
All her efforts have not been in vain, now she can work to her heart's content!
Then, the old emperor thought for a moment, and then instructed Jun Mo: "When you encounter a difficult problem, listen more to Yu Jiuer's opinions. When it comes to ghost ideas, who can compare with her?"
Hearing the old emperor's words, Yu Jiuer's smile became even brighter, and she raised her eyebrows proudly at Jun Mo.
Jun Mo glanced at Yu Jiuer with the corner of his eyes, raised his lips slightly, and bowed to the old emperor and said, "Yes!"
The eldest lady held Yu Jiuer's hand, tears never stopping, and choked up as she said, "Jiuer, your father left us thirteen years ago. You must take care of yourself when you leave. You must not be like your father who disappeared without a trace after his death..."
Before she could finish her words, she was already sobbing.
Concubine Duan put her arm around her shoulders and comforted her, "Don't worry! The children understand!"
The war was about to break out, and many people had been waiting for this day all their lives.
During the two days of preparation, Jun Mo selected 10,000 Black Wind Society assassins to stay in Yinshan County just in case.
In this way, the number of combatants along the coast of the Western Region became more than 48,000, but even so, everyone was still full of confidence!
Everything was ready, the whole Yinshan County was in an uproar, and the army marched towards the forest.
The people selected by Yu Jiuer followed closely behind, and everyone looked nervous and expectant.
This time it was a fight to the death, if we didn't succeed we would die!
Those who stayed at home didn’t know how many times they worshipped Buddha, asking for his blessing!
Four days later, the army successfully arrived at the edge of the forest. In order not to alert the enemy, the soldiers hid in various places in the forest.
