On the other side, Yang Song and the two girls were enjoying their leisurely daily life, while on the other side, Zhang Wei rushed to the military camp as soon as the meeting ended!

When the officer on duty saw Zhang Wei coming to the military tent, he saluted: "I've met the battalion commander!"

Zhang Wei ordered: "beat the drum to gather the generals!"

Before the three-tone drum was beaten, all the officers under Zhang Wei came to the main tent.

"Reporting to the battalion commander, the total number of officers in the battalion should be thirteen, but the actual number is thirteen. Please give instructions!"

As his deputy, Sima Yushu, who was responsible for making plans and assessing military merit, stood at the front of the queue and reported attendance!

"Your Majesty has an order!" Zhang Wei read Yang Song's order directly to everyone!

When the thirteen people standing opposite Zhang Wei heard that this was the monarch's order, they immediately stood still and took it seriously!

Zhang Wei read out: "Order, all the soldiers of the guard camp go out to conquer the tribes in the south! I hope that all the soldiers of the guard camp will protect their homes and country, fight bravely to kill the enemy, and punish the enemies who want to invade! Your Majesty's order!"

"I obey your order!" Everyone, including Zhang Wei, bowed and accepted the order.

"Everyone, this is the expedition order issued by Your Majesty!" Zhang Wei put away the Imperial Order and said seriously: "Besides! Your Majesty has other instructions!"

Zhang Wei looked around and then continued: "This instruction is top secret! Do not leak it! Otherwise, military law will be engaged!"

"Take the order!" After hearing these officers decisively taking the order, Zhang Wei slowly said Yang Song's private instructions to him...

"The above are your Majesty's instructions. You must obey your orders! Sit down!" Zhang Wei ordered expressionlessly to the thirteen people in front of him.

"Yes!" The thirteen people listened to the order and divided into two rows to sit on both sides of the main account. Sima walked to a deputy seat on Zhang Wei's left, hugged Zhang Wei's fists, and sat down!

"Your Majesty has absolute confidence in us!" Zhang Weidao said: "I wonder if you have the confidence to complete this expedition?"

"Yes!" everyone shouted back in unison.

"Very good!" Zhang Wei explained to everyone: "The indigenous tribes in the south have united to invade. According to the intelligence, there are more than 5,000 invading enemies!"

When everyone in front of me heard the number five thousand, there was no fear on their faces.

Zhang Wei continued with satisfaction: "Although the Southern Barbarians are united now, they are not completely united yet. Therefore, your Majesty decided to take the lead and defeat them one by one!"

"According to intelligence, the Southern Barbarians will complete the alliance within one month. Therefore, we must act decisively and defeat each tribe quickly!" Zhang Wei then ordered.

"The light cavalry formation obeys the order! I order your troops to be the vanguard, inspect the various ministries in the south, inquire about the enemy's situation, cut off the enemy's contact, and pursue the fleeing enemy!"

"Yes, I take the order!" The leader of the light cavalry formation and his three captains stood up and clasped their fists to take the order.

"I will lead the distant attack formation and the melee formation. As the main force, I will wipe out every tribe I find!"

"Yes, I obey!" The other officers also stood up and accepted the order with clasped fists!

Zhang Wei then ordered to Yu Shu: "Yu Sima, do your best to coordinate, hand over logistics, record military merits, mistakes, battle losses, and seizures!"

Yu Shu also stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Yes, battalion commander!"

Zhang Wei saw that everyone showed no timidity, only a fighting spirit on their faces, and nodded with satisfaction.

Although he was very satisfied in his heart, he still showed no expression on his face and said in an unwavering tone: "Every ministry should go back and prepare for mobilization. No one can hold back!"

Zhang Wei thought about it carefully, and after seeing that there was nothing he had forgotten, he said: "The meeting is dismissed!"

The twelve officers neatly clasped their fists at Zhang Weiyi and left the main tent in an orderly manner.

Yu Shu then turned to Zhang Weida and said, "Batalion Commander, your Majesty's instructions, are there any indicators?"

Zhang Wei thought about the situation at that time and replied: "No, your Majesty only said that the number can be as large as possible while ensuring the safety of our army!"

"The subordinate suggested that this expedition against the enemy should be mainly based on defeating, and supplemented by killing; the main method should be driven out and encircled, supplemented by cleaning up!" Yu Shu suggested.

Zhang Wei thought this suggestion was good and agreed: "Let's use this as our strategy for fighting the enemy this time. Go and convey it! By the way, see if the security personnel have prepared the logistics!"

"Yes, my subordinates, go now!" Yu Shu cupped his fists and accepted the order, and then left the main tent!

Zhang Wei was sitting in the camp, looking at the map hanging on the wall, recalling the scene when Yang Song called him back after the meeting.

…

"Join your Majesty!" Zhang Wei returned to the Yizheng Hall and found the same few big shots who stayed in the Yizheng Hall like him!

Just now, when he was about to return to the military camp, a soldier of the monarch's guard rushed through the gate, stopped him, and asked him to go back.

"Okay, everyone is here!" Yang Song explained as he excused himself.

"Zhang Wei, I called you here because I have something to tell you!"

Zhang Wei cupped his fists and said solemnly: "Please give me your orders!"

Yang Song smiled and said relaxedly: "It's not a big deal, just relax! Yang Zhong, tell Battalion Commander Zhang!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" After Yang Zhong answered Yang Song, he turned to Zhang Wei and said.

"Lieutenant Colonel Zhang, this matter is top secret!" Yang Zhong started with the word 'top secret', which immediately made him feel nervous!

Just now the monarch said it was not a big deal, but now listening to Yang Zhong's tone, it doesn't sound like a small matter!

"Battle Commander Zhang, you just had a meeting, and you also know that there is a shortage of a lot of labor in the country. Your expedition this time also has the factor of adding labor to the country!"

"War will cause casualties and captures, so! The monarch hopes that you can capture as many young and healthy prisoners as possible!"

When Yang Song heard Yang Zhong's explanation, he was worried that Zhang Wei was bent on capturing prisoners, so he added: "While ensuring the safety of your own army, just capture as many as possible. Don't cause any casualties to yourself in order to capture prisoners."

Too heavy!

Yang Zhong saluted Yang Song and continued: "As your Majesty said, controlling your own casualties is the most important thing. Just after you protect yourself, you can think about capturing more prisoners!"

"I obey your order!" Zhang Wei clasped his fists at Yang Song and accepted the order.

Only then did he realize that this expedition to the Southern Barbarians to fight back the invasion might be true, but more probably it was for these 'young and healthy' prisoners!

He is also somewhat politically savvy and does not think that doing so is evil. On the contrary, as long as it is beneficial to Xia Guo, he thinks it is 'just'!

"Haha~ You are a smart man, I think highly of you!" Yang Song was very happy to see Zhang Wei being so successful.

"Captain Zhang, I would like to congratulate you in advance. This time I will make a great contribution to the monarch!" Yang Zhong also smiled and bowed his hands.

Zhang Wei cupped his fists and responded casually: "No, this is my duty!"

Yang Song was really afraid that Zhang Wei was a stubborn person, and he would be told that "unjust acts can be killed but not humiliated..."!

Ever since Zhang Wei took over as the commander-in-chief of the guard camp, he has been waiting for the opportunity to prove himself. Finally, he got this opportunity. He secretly encouraged himself that he must seize this opportunity!

Look at Zhou Wu. Because of a mistake, the monarch asked him to return to the city as a guard. Although his status was higher and safer, the opportunity to make contributions was correspondingly gone!
Chapter completed!
