Half a month later, the 5,000 spiritual horses that You Aotian had promised were delivered.
At the same time, the imperial court also sent a secret letter from the emperor. They were very curious about Li Yueming’s method of training the new army and said that they should not make it public. The emperor would do his best to support him in secret.
This was both good and bad news for Li Yueming.
After all, the emperor was like a knife hanging over Li Yueming and the Li family.
It was fine if he didn’t fall, but if he did, it was very likely that all of Li Yueming’s plans would fail.
After receiving the secret order.
The 5,000 soldiers in Zhenbei City silently disappeared one night.
When he woke up the next day, You Aotian had already changed his army.
The news caused a huge discussion in the Northern Battlefront Army.
After all, this was a troop of more than 5,000 people. Wouldn’t it be shocking if they disappeared so mysteriously under normal circumstances?
However, this discussion was quickly suppressed by the higher-ups.
Many generals and soldiers had sensed the unfathomable aura and stopped the idea of investigating.
.0.
Under such circumstances.
Li Yueming brought the five thousand scout battalion to a town in the north called the Northern Ice River.
As the name suggested, the reason why Northern Ice River Town was named was because of the river that flowed down from the extremely cold snow mountain.
Because the rapid flow of water was often mixed with many ice cubes, it was also called the Northern Ice River.
Since they were already close to the Hundred Thousand Mountains, it was naturally impossible for Northern Glacier Town to be that wealthy. The population of the town was less than 10,000, and most of them were floating people.
There were only about two to three thousand local people stationed here.
The reason why it was so extreme was that a large-scale beast tide would erupt in the Hundred Thousand Mountains every few years.
As one of the towns closest to the Ten Thousand Mountains, North Glacier Town was affected almost every time.
Under such circumstances, it was already considered a very prosperous place to have a few thousand permanent residents.
As for the other 8,000-plus floating population.
Except for a small number of criminals who had been sent by the Central Plains to the cold and bitter lands to be tortured, most of the others were hunters and herb gatherers who had come for money.
Although the Hundred Thousand Mountains was famous for being a forbidden zone for life.
However, the more dangerous the place, the more treasures there would be.
Countless spirit herbs and rare animals grew in the mountains.
Many of these plants and animals had special requirements for their growing environment and climate.
Herbalists only needed to pick some spirit herbs and sell them, and they could earn thousands of times the price difference.
Hunters were the same. If they hunted some uncommon animals and brought them to the Central Plains, they could make hundreds of times the profit.
It was enough for the family to eat and drink for a few years.
Originally, Northern Ice River Town did not have an administrative department. There were only about 300 soldiers in charge of managing taxes. And now, Li Yueming had led more than 5,000 scouts to such a remote town.
Naturally, it caused a huge commotion.
Seeing the black mass of armored soldiers, the first reaction of the residents was to hide in their houses.
He only left a crack in the door or window to secretly observe the situation outside.
In this desolate and remote land, it was already at the edge of the Great Zhou’s administrative jurisdiction.
Naturally, this group of residents did not have much of a sense of identity with the Great Zhou.
Therefore, he was now looking at Li Yueming and the others with vigilance.
More than 300 Great Zhou soldiers stationed in North Ice River Town came out to welcome him.
Although he had already received the transfer order.
But now, they saw that Zhenbei City had really mobilized over 5,000 elite soldiers on spiritual horses and wearing armor.
The centurion leading the 300 soldiers of Northern Ice River Town couldn’t help but rub his eyes.
Good fellow…
They actually sent troops to this godforsaken place?
It was as if the sun had risen from the west!
After confirming that he was not mistaken, the hundred households knelt down from afar.
When Li Yueming and the others approached, he kowtowed three times and said, “”1 am Cai Yue, the centurion of Dingfeng City in the northern army of my town. I have been ordered to guard North Ice River Town.”
Cai Yue was wearing tattered armor and looked to be in her fifties.
The 300 soldiers behind him were even more miserable.
Her cotton jacket was covered in patches, and her face and hands were covered in frostbite.
If they were not soldiers, they would probably be recognized as refugees.
Life was tough!
At this moment, Li Yueming was riding a tall horse, wearing a special general’s armor with a layer of mink fur coat inside. He looked like a young master from a wealthy family.
Staring at the figure under his feet, Li Yueming swung his whip and said, “”1 can’t stand to see anyone live a miserable life. Men, give Cai Tingchang two cotton coats!”
