As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 205 The Man Who Creates Miracles

The scenery of the grassland is indeed beautiful, but when you travel, you always have to go home, right?

On a small hill, Mingchen rode on a white wolf and looked into the distance.

He had excellent eyesight and could see across the grasslands and deserts, to more distant places, and to the countries that inherited civilization.

The journey has lasted two months, and winter is coming soon, so it’s almost time to go back.

I wonder if Sister Dai has recovered the prefecture and returned home to wait for him?
I wonder if His Majesty, who was working at his desk, missed him at that moment?

I wonder if the flowers in the yard, the cats, mice, and children... are all doing well?
From the very beginning, Mingchen told Laogui that he would not join the army.

He is a civil servant who talks big, a powerful official who is scheming, and a corrupt official who is greedy and lustful.

The battlefield is a life experience that you can participate in from time to time, but it is not Mingchen's final destination.

This trip here was enough, and he had killed many people. He needed to go back and relax his mind.

He narrowed his gaze and looked down the mountain.

The little people were running across the grassland like ants.

The sound of shouting and killing came from a distance.

Next, this is the last battle.

This is a battlefield, and the Huns are confronting Qian Yuan's army.

However, compared with the powerful and unstoppable Qianyuan Army, the Xiongnu cavalry was in chaos and fled in all directions.

Mingchen lowered his eyes and shouted loudly: "Everyone, after this last battle, we will go home!"

He couldn't find any reason for failure, so it didn't matter to set a goal.

The ancients didn’t understand it either, but saying this can boost morale.

He drew his sword and pointed it towards the sky: "Charge!"

"kill!!!"

"kill!!!"

"kill!!!"

The eight hundred butchers who had experienced the bloody massacre had scarlet light in their eyes. They shouted loudly and rushed down the mountain on their horses with unstoppable momentum, rushing to the battlefield where the fighting was intertwined.

Lord Ming said that this is the last battle, and we can go home and rest after it is over.

Friday afternoon is undoubtedly the most exciting and thrilling moment for workers.

You must do everything well and enjoy your vacation to the fullest.

"Let's go?!"

All the soldiers charged forward, but Mingchen, riding on the most majestic white wolf, remained standing.

Oh, and there are kids holding big banners and standing behind him.

Mingchen patted the white wolf gently and said helplessly.

He even wanted to go down in his majestic new car to show off his skills!
"Great Immortal, I'm scared."

Looking at the brutal battle below, the white wolf shook his body, feeling a little scared.

It had seen several battles.

From its perspective, the battlefield is different from what ordinary people see.

The mighty army was filled with murderous aura, and its invincible blades seemed to be able to gather into sharp knives in mid-air and pierce people's chests and abdomens.

This momentum will only be lost when the army is defeated and cannot unite.

Although it had joined Mingchen, it still valued its life. It was afraid that it would be dragged into the battlefield and torn to pieces.

Mingchen: ...

He patted the white wolf's back gently and said, "Go down. Don't join the battle, just watch."

Although the White Wolf is timid, his demands are reasonable.

He wasn't a brutal leader who ignored the reasonable demands of his subordinates. Throughout the journey, it had been very obedient, and Mingchen wouldn't scare it with the Fire Curse.

The military does seem to be a thorny issue.

Now that I have a new car, I can’t avoid entering the battlefield.

Although he claimed to be a civil servant, the world was in chaos and he could not escape from battlefields and wars.

When I get back, I'll discuss it with Lao Shu and see if there is any solution.

……

"withdraw!"

"withdraw!"

"Run away!"

"Ah?! What is this?!"

"Why is there someone behind us?!"

On the battlefield, the Hun army was already demoralized because their main general had been defeated, and they kept fleeing under the coercion of Qianyuan's regular army.

However, at this moment, the sound of killing came from the direction of retreat behind him.

For a time, the Xiongnu cavalry was even more frightened.

The bloody smell came with the wind, and eight hundred cavalrymen charged forward with the momentum of thousands of troops.

The wild horse neighs, its momentum is like a rainbow.

They were wearing black armor soaked in blood, their eyes were fierce and ruthless, and the horses under their crotch were full of Hun heads tied to their legs. They seemed like Shuras running out of the underworld, charging straight towards the Hun army.

They are an invincible military vanguard, and even though they are few in number, they are incomparable.

Facing an enemy force several times larger than his own, he remained calm, transformed into a sharp knife, and fiercely thrust it into the heart of the Huns.

"what?!"

“Who are these people?!”

"Follow my orders... er..."

The leader of the Huns was named Qiulin Batu, and he was the commander of these nearly 10,000 Hun vanguard troops.

Looking at the Central Plains cavalry running towards his home, his eyes widened for a moment.

There is no need to say more.

"kill!"

"Whoosh!"

A spear whizzed in from a distance and pierced his chest accurately.

"what!!!"

Screams, shouts of killing, the neighing of war horses...

It filled the entire battlefield.

Under attack from both inside and outside, the Huns, who were already in a state of decline, were completely defeated at this moment.

The white wolf stood quietly at a distance from the battlefield, carrying the instigator of all this, watching the final scene of the drama.

The setting sun was blood-red, and when everything returned to calm, a large number of corpses lay quietly on the grassland, sleeping here forever.

"Big victory!"

"Big victory!"

"Oh!!!"

The soldiers from the Central Plains cleaned up the battlefield, cheering and celebrating the victory of this war.

As they shouted, they looked to the other side, their eyes showing either respect and envy, or fear and panic.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, eight hundred cavalrymen stood there quietly, enjoying the tranquility that belonged to them.

They are the greatest heroes in this war.

Kill tens of thousands of people and return with your head covered in blood.

There were only 800 of them, but they exuded an aura that was more brutal and terrifying than an army of ten thousand men.

No one knows what they went through or how many people they killed.

Fortunately, they were allies, not enemies.

These soldiers could not imagine how terrifying it would be to become enemies with this group of people.

At the front of the eight hundred people, a young scholar was not wearing armor, but only a thin green shirt. He was riding a majestic white wolf and walking towards the main tent of the Qianyuan army.

No one would underestimate him just because he is too young and thin.

The white wolf with sharp fangs and fierce eyes, and the group of Shura cavalry following with lowered brows.

No matter which point it is, it proves that this seemingly thin Wensheng is not ordinary and is someone they cannot touch.

"General!"

"Big victory! Big victory!"

"While our army was pursuing the Xiongnu enemy, eight hundred soldiers suddenly arrived from behind to assist us in attacking from both inside and outside. In this battle, our army killed ten thousand enemies and completely defeated them."

In the tent, a general shouted to Wang Hanbo with excitement on his face.

Big win!

Since the era of the God of War, Qianyuan has never won such a profound victory against the Huns.

Now their battlefield has advanced hundreds of miles, killing countless enemy troops and completely defeating the aggressive enemy forces.

It is destined to be engraved in history and sung by future generations.

And these leaders will also enjoy the fame during their lifetime and the fame after their death.

How can it not be exciting?

"Eight hundred people? But Lord Ming and the others?!"

really!

Eight hundred people, a very clear figure.

Running out from the heart of the Huns, attacking from the inside out, and breaking through the enemy army was simply an unprecedented event.

There is only the one belonging to Mingchen.

Sure enough, everything was as expected, and he really was that special person.

Wang Hanbo's eyes were full of sighs, and he kept asking him questions.

This is simply a miracle!

Is there really someone who is a god that came into being to meet the needs of the times?

Destined to leave behind legends, destined to do things that shock the world and shock history.

"Yes!"

"Quick, tell me..."

……

"what!!!"

"careful!"

"Master Ming, you... well, you better come down!"

Earlier on the battlefield in the northern border, the unlucky guy Qu Yunze once rode his horse into the commander's tent.

Mingchen did something similar this time.

He was anxious to go home, so he quickly informed Wang Hanbo and was about to take the eight hundred cavalrymen home.

Not to mention his personality, the White Wolf does look oppressive. He is huge and fierce. He can knock several soldiers away with one slap and bite off a person's head with one bite.

People are always in awe of this monster that can easily take people's lives.

The guards around were terrified, fearing that the strange beast would lose its mind and cause a riot.

"Master Ming...this..."

Wang Hanbo ran out of the tent. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he saw Mingchen.

"Hey~ General Wang, long time no see!"

The young civil servant jumped off the majestic white wolf and waved at Wang Hanbo with a smile.

Just like greeting ordinary friends.

"Don't worry, my white wolf is very well behaved."

Wang Hanbo: ...

After the fear, Wang Hanbo's eyes were fixed on the giant wolf, with a hint of envy.

Yes, it is undeniable that he is envious!

Soldiers are naturally martial people.

An excellent mount can not only amplify their energy, but also save their lives at critical moments. It is more important than the weapons in their hands.

In Wang Hanbo's eyes, the White Wolf is now no different from the top supercar in Mingchen's previous life.

Which warrior could refuse such a handsome, majestic and powerful mount?
Are you a civil servant, or am I? He finally withdrew his gaze from Bai Lang reluctantly and looked at Ming Chen instead.

The young man is full of vigor and confidence, with eyes shining like stars in the sky.

He is not the type who is strong, powerful and fierce.

In name, he was still a civil servant, and this was his first time to fight on the battlefield.

But... he created a miracle that has never been seen before and may not be surpassed in the future.

"Master Ming, please follow me."

Even if there was intelligence, he still wanted to hear from the person involved what this talented person had done along the way.

He wants to be the first witness of this legend.

He led Mingchen into the tent, personally poured him a bowl of wine, and said, "Tell me, where have you been all this time?"

Mingchen smiled and replied, "I set out from Lihe Town in Lingzhou and headed west, bypassing the main force of the Xiongnu..."

He simply told Wang Hanbo everything he had done along the way.

But it was easy for him to say this.

But to Wang Hanbo's ears, it sounded like thunder.

He stared wide-eyed and said blankly, "This...this, Lord Ming is truly a god..."

He had never heard of such a fight before.

Eight hundred people rushed into the grassland with such a desperate gamble, as if guided by gods, and did whatever they wanted.

Full of murderous intent, fighting to support war.

Mingchen's few light words contained the dried bones of tens of thousands of Huns.

Kill kill kill!

How many people did he kill along the way?
Mingchen has a thin figure and a free and easy temperament. Standing there, he looks like a romantic scholar.

However, after all, he had been in the army for many years, and Wang Hanbo could see that this man had undergone some subtle changes compared to the civil servant in the court two months ago.

Too many murders.

"It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."

Mingchen waved at him.

Wang Hanbo: ...

Having said that, if this is not worth mentioning.

What are we generals who have been in the army for decades?
"Master Ming, may I ask what we should do next?"

To be honest, this Western Expedition went so smoothly that it was completely beyond Wang Hanbo's expectations.

The Huns were very troublesome. They were good at guerrilla warfare and had high mobility, so it was difficult to seize the opportunity to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Thanks to Mingchen's stealing of the home, the soldiers on the front line fell into chaos, which led to this great victory.

It was originally expected that the war would last until winter, but now the progress has been greatly advanced. Wang Hanbo wants to hear Mingchen's opinion.

After all, it was he who proposed the strategy to deal with the Huns in the court.

Mingchen is the chief engineer of the project. Even though Wang Hanbo is nominally the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, he still has to follow Mingchen's wishes and commands in the general direction.

"how?"

Mingchen raised his eyebrows and smiled at Wang Hanbo, "General, we have won. What do you want to do?"

"The Xiongnu pastures are their home, not ours."

"Clean up the battlefield, reward the troops, and go home!"

Wang Hanbo was stunned: "Huh?"

"Lord Ming, why don't we try not to advance any further?"

To be honest, he didn't want to leave yet. He wanted to pursue the victory, move forward, and make more military achievements.

The people on the border have suffered from the Huns for a long time. Now that they have won a great victory, their morale is high and their military spirit can be used.

Why not go one step further and defeat the Huns in one fell swoop?

So that they would never dare to harass the Qianyuan border again.

Mingchen shook his head: "General, every time the battle line is extended, it will consume a huge amount of logistics. You are the general, you should understand the key."

"Lord Ming, His Majesty is willing to fully support us in suppressing the bandits."

"There's still plenty of granary left, enough for us to keep going."

"Lord Ming, our army is now at its peak, and this is a great opportunity to wipe out the Xiongnu!"

Wang Hanbo is a general, but only a general.

He was just a sword that followed orders, not a strategist who could see the overall situation. His vision was limited, he only knew the ways of war, and he could only focus on the small battlefield of the Huns.

Of course he knew that the extension of the battle line would consume food and grass, but as long as the court could supply them, that was enough for him.

Originally from Lingzhou, he personally harbored great hatred for the Huns.

His goal was only to fight the battle well and pursue greater results and military merits, and he would not save resources or seek bigger things.

Since there are still surplus resources, he wants to press on with the victory and achieve even greater results.

"Although the Xiongnu are hateful, they are not our most important enemy. In other words, they are not an enemy that we need to expend a lot of resources against."

"We just need to repel the invaders at the lowest cost and inflict pain on them."

Lao Wang is a little bit drunk.

Mingchen frowned slightly: "General Wang, have you forgotten what I said during Ji Qu's visit?"

Those who are good at winning do not fight, and those who are good at forming battles do not fight.

Those who are good at winning will not fight blindly, and those who are good at planning and strategizing can win without war.

War is the continuation of politics and is meant to achieve results.

Now that the strategic goals have been achieved, the fuse that triggers the conflict has been ignited by Mingchen.

There is no point in continuing the war; it will only waste lives and increase casualties.

In an instant, the unrestrained and free-spirited scholar seemed to have gained some momentum and more majesty of a superior.

It is impossible to look directly into his eyes, and it is impossible to go against his wishes.

Wang Hanbo: “…”

Mingchen was too young, spoke casually and easily, and loved to joke, which made up for some of the gap in status.

Whether one is of higher or lower status than him, they are all equal to him.

This gave people an illusion, and Wang Hanbo almost forgot about it.

Mingchen has already reached the highest position among the officials in the new dynasty, and his status is much higher than his.

"I have already traveled to Ulaanbaatar and signed an alliance with Hunye Khan."

"Shengluo Khan has suffered a crushing defeat this time and is unable to fight me. He will definitely turn his attention to Hunxie Khan and make him bear the blame for the defeat in order to absolve him of his guilt."

"We will leave 3,000 men to guard Lingzhou and watch the tigers fight from the mountain."

"Sheng Luo has already been severely weakened. Continuing the war will only wear down his strength. This will allow Hunxie Khan to easily defeat him, which is not a good thing. If he settles down, his evil intentions will surely arise again in the future."

"I want a chaotic grassland. I want them to fight forever."

Now the two largest forces on the grassland are evenly matched, and the conditions are just right.

Only when both sides are evenly matched can they inflict maximum damage to each other.

All Qianyuan had to do was to give a little help to whoever was about to fall into decline, causing the chaos to get bigger and bigger, more and more people to die here, and causing the grassland to split.

This saves much time and effort than a large-scale war of conquest, and the effect is also good.

Continuing the fight will do no good except wasting resources.

"General, do you understand?"

The new dynasty was already short of talent.

This general has some integrity and is not a flatterer. He is a useful person, so Mingchen also patiently talked to him for a few more words.

Just like Xiao Ling back then.

If it doesn't work, then Mingchen can't do anything about it.

Mingchen's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.

Wang Hanbo paused for a moment, then regained his composure. He quickly stood up and bowed to Mingchen, saying, "Master Ming is absolutely right. It is I who am stupid."

It was not because of Mingchen's power or coercion, but because of his sincere worship and gratitude.

In a moment of impulse, he forgot the main purpose of this battle and almost made a big mistake.

If he stops now, he will be a general with outstanding achievements. If he continues to fight, his achievements will become less and less.

Mingchen explained these things to him and also gave him some advice.

There is a reason why such a young man holds such a high position.

He was not arrogant in his victory. Despite having achieved such rich results, he was still able to calmly analyze the situation and make the decision that was most beneficial to his own development.

He is proficient in both civil and military affairs, has a long-term vision, and plans for the world... With such a person in the new dynasty, Wang Hanbo is more and more convinced that they have a promising future.

"Hey!"

"General Wang, please don't do this."

"This campaign to the west to conquer the Xiongnu was conducted under difficult conditions. The reason it went so smoothly was largely due to General Wang's contribution."

"My contribution is tiny, not even half as great as yours."

The atmosphere returned to harmony, and the two raised their glasses and exchanged pleasantries.

Mingchen's few words put an end to this westward war.

……

Qingzhou Jiqu.

The weather gradually became colder, and the autumn wind howled, blowing the black flag with gold scales hanging high on the city wall to flutter in the wind.

The very center of the city, the most important political and cultural center.

The elegant woman in dragon robe put down the pen in her hand and rubbed her temples gently.

Holding a high position and dealing with complicated affairs, she has been extremely exhausted since she ascended the throne.

However, hard work pays off. The new dynasty is thriving and moving in a good direction, which also makes her full of energy.

"Squeak~"

A gentle breeze blew, opening the west window.

She let out a breath, stood up, walked to the bed, and looked into the distance.

The sight seemed to transcend space and see a more distant direction.

"Mingchen...when will you be back?"

Since ascending the throne, she has turned herself into a government machine.

Arm yourself with majesty, devote all your energy to handling government affairs, issue decrees, and make the new dynasty develop in a good direction.

Only when she thought of that person would she allow her personal emotions to occupy her mind.

She wants to devote her whole life to the public, her ideals, and Qianyuan.

Only the part about Mingchen belongs to her own selfish desire, and it is the spiritual comfort she thinks of when she is tired.

Time passed quickly, and she admitted that she missed that dissolute and romantic bad guy a little.

If he stayed in Jiqu, even if he was lazy and did nothing, it would be good and would make her feel at ease.

Wang Hanbo issued an order stating that Ming Chen had acted on his own and disappeared on the grassland.

Even though she was calm for the king, she couldn't help but feel panicky. Her mind went blank and she had the urge to rush to the western border to find him.

The harm will last for thousands of years.

That person is extremely bad, a disaster!

He knows some strange tricks and escaped from the capital. He has overcome so many dangers, so he should be fine!
She comforted herself like this.

Later, news came from the front line that a mysterious army had slaughtered the Huns' main general.

Although it was not specified who did it, all signs pointed to Mingchen.

Xiao Xinyue knew that this must be Mingchen.

He is the only one who can do such a thing, so I can feel a little relieved.

This person always likes to do something bold.

The enemy's main generals were defeated.

This war is almost over.

Xiao Xinyue stood in front of the window, all kinds of thoughts flowing through her mind. With a gleam in her eyes, she murmured softly, "He's been away for so long, and he didn't even send a message back..."

The majestic and noble emperor in the court now spoke as if he were a resentful woman who had been neglected.
