Chapter 80: Swearing-in

When everyone returned to Bianjing, Li Hao thought that the nobles who were tired of life in the camp like Sun Hu and Chen Xian would gather together and have a lot of trouble.

However, unexpectedly, the city of Bianjing was calm all night, and there was no news of these people causing trouble, which made Li Hao feel very moved.

But Li Hao didn't have the heart to stare at them later, because only two days later, Li Hao had to go around the house he knew in Bianjing.

On the first day after the vacation, Li Hao first visited his senior brother Yan Fu's home.

Because Li Hao had been staying in the camp a few days ago, he couldn't even catch up with Yan Fu's son's full moon wine.

Today, when I have free time, I come to apologize and bring the gifts I originally prepared.

However, after a few words of chat, he saw the child start to cry. Yan Fu hurried over to coax the child, looking like a child slave.

Seeing this, Li Hao simply said goodbye and left, and then went up to Ouyang Xiu's mansion.

When he entered the mansion, he met Ouyang Xiu and Madam Xue, Li Hao explained his purpose.

After hearing this, Ouyang Xiu didn't say anything, but just told Li Hao to be cautious. After all, war is a major matter of the country, a place of life and death, and a way of survival.

I explained some great truth to Li Hao, but I was interrupted by Mrs. Xue halfway through.

Mrs. Xue showed concern and pulled Li Hao for a long time to be careful not to worry about such things.

Li Hao could feel her care and love from it, but she was really scared of being nagged. After all, she was nagged by Wei for a long time after she came back yesterday.

So Li Hao hurriedly asked about Ouyang Fa’s marriage, and indeed interrupted the topic of Madam Xue.

Because this happened to be the joy of Mrs. Xue, I happily introduced my preparations over the years, and sighed that Li Hao was afraid that he would not be able to participate.

Li Hao knew that the topic was about to him again, so he quickly found a reason to say goodbye and leave.

When I left Ouyang Mansion, it was almost noon, so I went to the restaurant for dinner and went directly to Sheng Mansion in the afternoon.

As soon as Li Hao arrived at the door, he happened to meet Gu Tingye bringing Chang Ge'er and Rong Jie'er to Sheng Mansion.

After meeting, Gu Tingye asked the two children to recognize him and entered Sheng Mansion together.

Of course, the price of the gift was that Li Hao gave two best Hetian jade pendants as a gift.

After the two of them came to the door, they realized that they had happened to be here. Sheng Hong and Mrs. Wang had not come back from work, so Sheng Changbai came out to entertain the two.

After the few people sat down in the hall, Gu Tingye told the reason why he brought his two children to the door. The two of them had agreed to send them to the Hai family to study.

At that time, Sheng Changbai and Haishi need more care. Today, I will bring people here to get to know each other first.

Hearing Gu Tingye's words, Sheng Changbai asked someone to invite Hai out.

After Hai's out, Sheng Changbai asked Hai's two children to play in the backyard to increase his favorability.

After Hai left with his two children, Sheng Changbai chatted with them for a few words.

Suddenly, I sighed: "I first met in Yangzhou in person, and it has been seven or eight years in a flash. On that day, you were full of heroism and always thought that one day you would be able to recover the Sixteen State of Yanyun.

Unexpectedly, today you have taken the first step and officially started your journey.

And I also heard that your relationship with Ning Yuanhou has improved a lot, which is really a good thing."

After hearing this, Gu Tingye replied: "This time I just eliminated a few bandit problems, it's nothing.

You see, I will lead my troops north to restore my country in the future.”

After saying this, he stopped answering Sheng Changbai's words.

Sheng Changbai didn't mind after hearing this, but turned his head to Li Hao and said, "But compared to your joining the army, it was beyond everyone's expectations that my cousin could lead troops to fight."

After hearing this, Li Hao replied: "Don't say it's you, I never thought it was me.

But I have been trusted by the government, so I naturally do my best to do this job well, hoping to live up to the holy grace.”

Then the three of them talked about the situation in the south again, and then Li Hao thought about preparing to say goodbye.

But just at this moment, Sheng Hong and Mrs. Wang walked in from outside, followed by Hua Lan and Yuan Wenshao, and there was also a cute little girl who looked four or five years old.

So after everyone greeted each other again, they continued to sit down in the hall, and then another round of reminiscence.

However, the topic changed at this time, because from the inside and outside of Mrs. Wang, it is clear that Li Hao will take more care of Yuan Wenshao after going to war and establish more functions while ensuring safety.

Li Hao naturally agreed to this matter immediately. After all, there should be no danger this time, and as for the credit, it is naturally not a problem.

After all, Li Hao had found a simple way to obtain credit at this time, and it would be better to give it to anyone.

However, Li Hao and Mrs. Wang didn't hear much about this, but Yuan Wenshao felt a little embarrassed, as if he felt that it was a little bad to do so.

Just as he was about to move, he was stopped by Hualan on the side. Then Hualan asked Zhuang Jie'er and Chang Ge'er behind him to greet each other and talk about their relatives.

At this time, Li Hao looked at Hua Lan's behavior, and then to the previous performance of Mrs. Wang.

Li Hao couldn't help but sigh that the old lady was teaching well. This action was not mentioned at all. Li Hao took special care of it, but it also showed that the two families were related.

If this really happens, how could Li Hao not help his own family but outsiders?

However, this question flashed through Li Hao's mind, and he came to his senses, thinking that it was the first time he had seen Sister Zhuang.

So he quickly searched for it and found a jade pendant for Sister Zhuang as a meeting gift. Of course, Yuan Wenshao helped his girl refuse.

At this time, Gu Tingye on the other side also took out a pendant and gave it to Sister Zhuang. After a lot of entanglement, he asked Sister Zhuang to accept it after Sheng Hong's persuasion.

After sitting for a while, Li Hao and Gu Tingye said goodbye together like everyone in the Sheng family.

The next day, Li Hao was not familiar with other families in Bianjing and was leaving, so he stayed peacefully in the mansion to comfort Wei, asking her not to worry.

By the morning of the third day, Li Hao was about to say goodbye to Wei and the others.

Because early in the morning, Li Hao had to go to the Privy Council to collect the documents for the election in advance, and then return to the camp to check whether the matters of all sizes and sizes need to be prepared before going to the expedition.

When Li Hao left, Wei still held Li Hao's hand and refused to let go. After all, since Li Hao was born, they had never had to be separated for so long except for returning to Yangzhou last time and leaving Li Hao alone in Bianjing.

But when staying in Bianjing, Wei knew that Li Hao was safe. Now this time it was different. This time they sent Li Hao to the battlefield.

Although Li Hao said that this time was a very relaxing outing, he had to walk on the battlefield after all. How could parents really feel at ease?

However, at the end of the time, under Li Jian's persuasion, Wei let go of the hand that held Li Hao tightly.

So Li Hao bid farewell to his parents and embarked on another journey.

After receiving the entrustment documents from the Privy Council, Li Hao rushed back to the western suburbs.

By the time Li Hao arrived, he had already seen Xu Ning arrive early and was arranging the matter of selecting food, grass and weapons.

Seeing Li Hao coming, Xu Ning stepped forward to report: "This time, the food, grass and supplies were allocated by the Ministry of War. I probably counted the number and the official documents of the Ministry of War, and they were allocated in full, and there were no deductions."

After hearing this, Li Hao was very happy because the normal allocation of food and wages would be deducted according to the rules, which shows that he was very generous.

After listening to the report, Li Hao asked Xu Ning to do his job first, and then go and help after he had settled it.

So with the division of labor and cooperation between the two, all the supplies were counted at 3:00 noon.

At this time, Gu Tingye happened to arrive in the camp, so after lunch.

The three of them discussed the division of labor, and Li Hao was in charge of the central army's tent, waiting for the rest of them to come to the camp.

Xu Ning and Gu Tingye went to inspect the battalions to ensure that there would be no problems and that the army could set sail normally tomorrow.

Li Hao waited at the big tent around Yin hour, and then his noble children returned to the camp one after another.

What made Li Hao feel relieved was that no one dared to make trouble this time, and even the latest one came back before the hour of Mao.

When everyone arrived, Li Hao ordered the camp to be encircled at four o'clock in the hour of Yin, and then all the generals came to the big account to discuss the matter.

Of course, it was said that it was about discussing things, but in fact, what should be discussed had been discussed long ago.

This conversation was mainly to calm down some restless people, and to reiterate the importance and discipline of going south this time, warning everyone not to do anything, otherwise the punishment would be merciless.

The conversation ended with Yang Wenyuan, Li Yixing, and a few private helpers to work together to make the conference successful.

Li Hao thought that the effect had been achieved, so he asked everyone to go down and rest quickly.

Finally, it was the first day to go to the war. At the fifth o'clock in the morning, a messenger called to yell everyone to get up, and the next time was when everyone was washing and breakfast.

When it was Chen, Li Hao ordered everyone to gather at the school ground and carry out the ceremony of ceremonies of the military gods and military flags before going to war according to the convention. This is also the "sacrifice".

The process is to inform the gods of the conquest in sacrifices, and then sacrifice three animals to the gods, cattle, sheep, and pigs, and apply blood to the military flags and war drums, which are called "chaotic flags and drums" and pray for the help of the military gods. Of course, Li Hao later learned that the military gods mentioned here were Huangdi.

After the sacrificial ceremony, the oath ceremony was followed. Li Hao stood on the stage and informed the soldiers of the purpose and significance of the expedition, expose the evil intentions of the southern rebels, emphasize the discipline and style of the southward journey, and then read out the military dispatch documents issued by the Privy Council.

When the oath ceremony is over, the process will be over.

So Li Hao announced the army to set off and ordered all the generals to lead the team in order and set out south in turn.

After this order, a team of 2,500 people was neatly arranged in several columns according to the subordinates, and then set out.

After all the soldiers left the camp, five hundred auxiliary soldiers followed behind, pressing all the food, supplies and supplies.

After everyone left the camp, Li Hao and Gu Tingye took people to patrol the barracks again. When they found that there was no problem, they quickly caught up with the team and walked to the front.

At this time, Li Hao felt that the sky was high and the sea was wide.
