After the Cannon Fodder Awakened, She Married the Female Lead! [Quick Transmigration] 99p1

Chapter 99 p1

After the New Year, the way Li Mo and Wen Runan got along had changed a lot. Perhaps it was because they had been honest with each other, Wen Runan no longer avoided anything and directly let Li Mo move into her courtyard openly.

This move was also very easy to explain to the public. The two of them were good brothers who had gone through life and death together. To make it convenient to form a heavy cavalry together, they had simply moved in together.

The old princess was quite happy when she saw this. In her eyes, Wen Runan had lost both her father and her sister. Her heart must be very uncomfortable, and the burden on her shoulders was also heavy.

Now, with Li Mo’s company, it was much better. Not only could she guide her, but she could also help her in other aspects, helping her to fight against the barbarians together.

There were also unhappy people. The first to bear the brunt was General Wang. His eyes turned red when he heard this news. He wished he could directly pick up his long sword, rush into the Prince of Zhenbei’s mansion, and give Li Mo a good beating.

Because in General Wang’s eyes, the two of them moving into the same courtyard meant that a lot had already happened between them! A lot of things he didn’t want to see!

As for the other few generals, their reactions were not as strong as General Wang’s. After a short period of thought, they accepted it.

They even began to look forward to whether Li Mo and Wen Runan would have a child. If they really did, the Prince of Zhenbei and the Prince of Pingnan would become natural allies.

Especially after Li Mo had succeeded the Prince of Pingnan, the relationship between the north and the south would definitely be very good. At that time, there would be no need to worry about the imperial court secretly making a move on either the north or the south.

Li Mo and Wen Runan had no time to think about so many things, nor did they care about how others looked at them. Since they had lived together, they had begun to train the heavy cavalry, and had even developed a new military formation based on the characteristics of the barbarian cavalry.

Of course, besides the two of them being busy, the people in other places were not idle either. The Sixth Prince and the Ninth Prince in the capital were busy offering condolences to the Third Prince while fighting for power and influence. The transfer and appointment of court officials were very frequent.

The rebel army in the west and the Prince of Pingnan in the south were also pulling at each other. Both sides were trying their best to take in more disaster victims and leave a good impression in the hearts of the common people.

After the New Year, the cold slowly receded. With the sprouting of green shoots, the barbarians, who had barely been reorganized, once again raised their troops to invade.

This time, the barbarians did not take the initiative to attack the city, but took a long detour and began to bloodwash the nearby villages, letting the innocent common people who were in the middle of spring plowing fall in a pool of blood, forever losing their voices.

“How dare he!” Wen Runan’s hand slammed heavily on the table. “Arrange for the nearby villagers to evacuate as soon as possible, form a patrol team, and strengthen the deployment of troops at the border.”

“As you wish,” someone soon bowed and took the order, and quickly ran out to execute it.

“Generals, do we still need to discuss when to send troops and how many troops to send?” Wen Runan said through gritted teeth. “If we delay any longer, it will only make the barbarians’ actions more rampant.”

“Your Highness, it is now the time of spring plowing. If a large-scale battle occurs, it will definitely affect the sowing of grain. Why don’t we wait until the spring plowing is over before we start the war? It won’t be too late,” the person who hesitated was not because he was afraid of fighting, but just felt that there was no need to be so anxious. He could totally endure for a while longer.

Because once the war started, these three hundred thousand soldiers had to guard the front line and enter a state of combat readiness. With so many young and strong laborers gone, it was inevitable that some land would be abandoned, leading to a decrease in the autumn harvest.

“Grain can be bought, but human lives cannot,” Wen Runan’s tone was very firm. “Strengthen the training these few days. As soon as the scouts have confirmed the location of the barbarian’s main camp, we will immediately send troops to annihilate them!”

Wen Runan’s confidence was very strong now, because the heavy cavalry she had been thinking about was almost trained. She was eager to see the power of the heavy cavalry.

As long as the heavy cavalry could crush the barbarian cavalry on the front battlefield, then pointing the sword at the royal court and completely pacifying the barbarians would not be a problem at all!

Wen Runan’s attitude was firm. Many young generals also could not stand to see so many common people die in vain and were very cooperative with Wen Runan’s orders, which immediately put the entire Zhenbei army on a state of combat readiness.

“Help me guard the house. Wait for me to return in triumph. Is that possible?” Wen Runan held Li Mo’s hand and spoke first. “Besides you, I don’t trust anyone. The military tally and the prince’s seal, can you help me keep them?”

Li Mo raised an eyebrow. What a familiar wording and excuse. Without any memory, did Wen Runan also know what she liked to hear?

“At the fastest, a month. At the slowest, three months. I will definitely return in triumph!” Wen Runan promised, her gaze towards Li Mo full of trust and anticipation.

“Sixty days. I can help you guard for sixty days. If you don’t come back, I will go and find you,” Li Mo had fallen for this trick before, and this time was no exception.

Li Mo could not refuse the Wen Runan who had given all her trust, just as Wen Runan could not stand her acting pitiful. Each other’s weaknesses had been seen through by the other party.

“Alright, wait for my good news!” Wen Runan beamed with joy and soon handed over the prepared military tally and the prince’s seal to Li Mo.

It was not difficult to repel the barbarians, but it was not so easy to completely subdue them and make them obedient.

After Wen Runan had left with the main army, many monsters and demons had appeared in the northern border. They had inflated prices, spread rumors, and taken the opportunity to rob and commit crimes, using all means to destroy the stability of the northern border.

Half of them were definitely the work of the barbarians. As for the other half, it was definitely the two princes who were fighting for power and influence who were stirring up trouble from behind.

Li Mo had people and power. She directly sent out all of her two thousand people and the twenty thousand guards that Wen Runan had left for her. In less than three days, she had captured nearly a thousand people and had also interrogated them all.

After confirming that no one had been wronged, Li Mo set up a high platform in the largest square. According to the severity of the crime, she executed one person every half an hour. After five days of non-stop beheading, not only had the northern border returned to its previous stability, but even the quarrels between the neighbors had decreased a lot.

It was impossible for Li Mo to do nothing for sixty days. Relying on the intelligence that 033 had given her, she first sent Xue Zhao back, and then wrote him a letter every three days, starting to form her own team from a distance.

Li Mo had not forgotten that there was still a male lead candidate in the west. If the imperial court were to completely collapse, Gu Xiuwen would definitely seize the opportunity to develop.
