Han Huafeng and Guan Ning enjoyed an unprecedented honor in the palace, but the emperor actually kept them for dinner.

There are no delicacies of mountains and seas as I imagined, just some ordinary home-cooked dishes, but they are made more delicate and beautiful and taste better, but the important thing is not eating, but this honor. Think about it, a big round table, the emperor sat facing south and north, next to it was the queen Min Ruoxi, and on both sides were the prince Qin Wu and the eldest princess Qin Wen, and the kitten and Quan Yun accompanied each other. This level made the two of them dizzy on the entire dining table. They ate and said what they said. When they walked out of the palace, they didn't remember anything.

When they walked out of the palace, the cold wind blew, their minds were slightly awake. The special honor, of course, also meant that their actions were particularly important and there must be unexpected dangers. Neither of them was the ignorant soldiers at the time. After thinking about all this, their faces became serious.

Neither of them are willing to be mediocre, otherwise they would not have been trying to do such a huge career after retirement. They dare not say that they will be remembered in history, but they live a life of great prosperity. When they get old, they always have to have the capital to brag about to their children and grandchildren. Risks have always coexist with opportunities. Not to mention anything else, just talking about His Majesty the Emperor's promise is enough for the two to fight.

After doing this, the two of them can officially become generals of the Ming Dynasty. The generals of the Ming Dynasty are very expensive. Together, they count the total, and there are only more than 20 generals of the elite soldiers and generals.

Not far from the gate of the palace, I arrived at the Ministry of War. In fact, this area was originally part of the former Yue Palace. After Qin Feng established the country, he drew out most of the palace as the office location of various departments. The Ministry of War, as the most important part to the Ming Dynasty at that time, was naturally one of the closest yamen to the palace.

Near the gate of the Ministry of War, the unique atmosphere of the army came to his face. The soldiers in charge of guarding the palace and the safety of major yamen were the soldiers in the Fire Death Camp who were responsible for guarding the safety of the palace and major yamen. Seeing the kitten coming, they bowed with a knife.

Stepping into the gate of the Ministry of War, there were different signs hanging on the rows of wing rooms, showing their different functions, and officials and generals were walking continuously among the various yamen.

Seeing the kitten, he quickly saluted, but looked at Han Huafeng and Guan Ning with curious eyes.

When these two men were in the army, they had a low status. They were just a mere deputy lieutenant. They were reflected in the documents of the Ministry of War and were just an ordinary name. Naturally, no one could recognize them.

When they entered the backyard, they suddenly became clear. The two of them looked curiously and saw that there were only three signs hanging in the backyard. The Shangshu Hall was in the middle, and the left and right sides were the left and right Secret Halls.

This is the core of coordinating the entire Ming army. What surprised Guan Ning and Han Huafeng was that there was no guard in such a core position, which was in sharp contrast with the strict guards of the outside office.

"The Right Minister Ning Zeyuan is also the commander of the Navy, so he is not in the Ministry of War!" The kitten pointed to the hall on the right and said, "In this yard, there are only me and the Left Minister Liu Xingwen and Mr. Liu. Well, Mr. Liu, you should know, right?"

Of course, people of Liu Xingwen know that the famous son of Mr. Liu of Shayang, a founding hero of the country, was himself a commander of the Houtu Camp, and now he is the father-in-law of the prince Qin Wu.

"I know!" The two nodded quickly. They naturally had heard of such a big shot, but there was no intersection in their identities before.

As he was talking, a thin middle-aged man in the main hall on the left strode out, looking at the kitten, and then said, "I'm finally back, I'm going to report to you. Hey, who are these two?"

The kitten smiled and introduced: "Han Huafeng, Guan Ning, and Mr. Liu, go and talk in the room."

Liu Xingwen nodded: "It turns out that they are the famous Tianwu, the two masters of the Mingwei Escort Agency, who have long admired them."

He bowed his hand to the courtesy, but Han Huafeng and Guan Ning gave a military salute, which made Liu Xingwen stunned. After a while, he realized that he replied to the two of them. After a military salute, he smiled and said, "The two have been retired for a long time, but they didn't expect to still maintain their true nature as a veteran of the Ming Dynasty. Good, very good!"

The four of them walked into the kitten's general office together.

The general was extremely large and divided into two rooms inside and outside. However, what surprised the two was that the decoration was extremely simple. The outside room was empty and there were only two rows of chairs neatly arranged. It seemed that they were usually prepared for those who came to report the matter. The kitten took the three of them straight into the inner room. The wherever they saw was a picture of a fierce tiger hanging down the mountain on the wall opposite. Below the picture was the big case of the kitten. A pair of scarred armor was hung on a shelf on the left, and a large knife with a gap hung on the wall on the right. Seeing these two things, Guan Ning and Han Huafeng were both in awe.

In addition to these, the room was a row of bookshelf on the left and piles of official documents on it. There was a huge map on the right. Just a glance, the two of them found that the map not only had the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but also incorporated Qi Chu into it.

"Old Liu, why are you looking for me so anxiously?" Xiaomao asked Liu Xingwen while directing the clerk in the room to prepare tea.

Liu Xingwen glanced at Guan Ning and Han Huafeng, and saw that the little cat had no words, so he said directly: "It's about the connection and defense of Hengduan Mountain. He Weiping has received a letter from the Qi people. The Qi people are preparing to withdraw their troops. We are going to transfer the troops into the Hengduan Mountains to deal with the defense? There is no vacuum area, otherwise the bandits and bandits will take advantage of the situation. It will be another trouble to suppress them. The Qi people will not be so kind, and they will probably stumbling to us."

"Let's leave this matter first, and then let's discuss it again. He Weibing is a veteran and is very familiar with Hengduan Mountains. He knows clearly where there are bandit nests. He guessed that he has sent people to suppress the bandits now." Xiaomao smiled and looked at Guan Ning and Han Huafeng and said, "The matter we discussed earlier has been officially decided."

Liu Xingwen smiled and said to Guan Ning and Han Huafeng: "Congratulations to you. After this errand, you will be very rewarded."

"Sit all!" The kitten sat down with a smile, "The credit is great, but dangers coexist. You two, this mission is not like in China, where there are many crises. Many times you have to solve it yourself. You two must be mentally prepared."

The two nodded vigorously, wealth and honor need to be sought in danger, what is there to say?

"Since both of you are mentally prepared, I won't talk much nonsense, just arrange it." said the kitten.

"Give the orders of Lord Shangshu!" the two of them said in unison.

"Okay!" The kitten curled his smile and said seriously: "We have signed a peace agreement with the Qi people, but everyone knows that this agreement may be torn down at any time. We must concentrate our efforts to solve the problem of Chu in this short period of peace with the Qi people. You two are the first force we sent. Han Huafeng, Guan Ning, in the next year, we need Tianwu and Mingwei Escort Agency to concentrate on its efforts to develop the Chu country. Your Escort Agency branch cannot bloom meaninglessly, but should be arranged with focus according to the needs of the Ming Dynasty."

"The capital of Chu State Shangjing and the surrounding county governors are the focus of this time, and the person in charge of this area is Han Huafeng's Tianwu Escort Agency." The kitten said coldly: "A year later, I hope that your Tianwu Escort Agency can quickly assemble an army of more than 5,000 people in Shangjing and its surrounding areas, regardless of light or dark. Your escorts are actually all brave soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, as long as the weapons are in place, I believe that their combat effectiveness will not be lost to any army of the Ming Dynasty."

Han Huafeng took a deep breath, saying that he wanted to attack the capital directly. No wonder His Majesty the Emperor said it was very dangerous.

"I understand, Han Huafeng promised to complete the task."

The kitten nodded: "Mingway Escort Agency's layout and manpower around this stage must obey Han Huafeng's unified dispatch. Guan Ning, is there any problem?"

"No problem." Guan Ning shouted.

"Very good, Guan Ning, your Mingwei Escort Agency, the Ming Dynasty's old soldiers are in proportion to the Qin people. Your mission is to gather a force immediately and secretly enter Kunling County." The kitten said.

"Kunling County? Isn't that the territory of Qi people?" Guan Ning was stunned.

The kitten smiled: "Don't worry, Zhou Jiyun will welcome your arrival, but after entering Kunling County, you are not allowed to make a statement and cannot raise the Ming Dynasty flag. In Kunling County, you are going to help Zhou Jiyun fight, and the opponent is the Qi people themselves."

Although Guan Ning didn't understand why, he still nodded.

"Don't nod in a hurry, your tasks are more than this." The kitten continued: "Your mission in Kunling County is only one of them. In addition, the Mingwei Escort Agency will focus on the Jiangnan area. Similarly, we need you to assemble at least a 5,000-man army in Jiangnan. How to make arrangements openly and secretly is your own business."

"I understand." Guan Ning said.

"At this point, I can also tell you frankly that our plan to occupy the Great Chu is not a large-scale military invasion. We have been planning for the Chu State for a long time, but small-scale but high-intensity wars are inevitable. We need to occupy Shangjing with thunder and control Jiangnan and other places. Once launched, we need to complete the occupation of the heart of Chu State at an extremely fast speed in case the Qi people are in trouble. They will not watch us succeed easily. Once we cannot complete this matter quickly, we will fall into the quagmire. You must understand the joints here."
