Seven days later.
At the Iron Gate Mountain camp at the border.
In the central tent.
Xiao Yang brought the core generals of the Nangong Army to greet Li Xiao.
“That’s great! Marshal, once you come, the soldiers’ morale will increase!” Xiao Yang said excitedly.
After the Nangong Army arrived, the situation at the border was complicated.
Some people knew them and knew that they were from the Nangong Army. However, the imperial court army was a regular army after all, and their situation had not been too good previously.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long.
The news of the new Emperor’s succession had just spread, and the situation of their army from Anyang County was much better.
Anyone who was slightly smarter would have guessed their relationship with the Emperor.
But even so, the imperial court’s army had only shown them some courtesy.
There was still a limit to what they could do.
But now, his cousin and his cousin’s wife were here. He even brought the Commander-in-Chief Seal of the three armies.
With this, the status of the Nangong Army would be restored.
How could they not feel motivated when they became the marshal’s army again?
Li Xiao smiled as he glanced at Xiao Yang.
“Tell me about the situation first. After the internal discussion is done, go and invite other generals to come over for a discussion.”
“Yes!” Everyone hurriedly replied.
Then, he told them what had happened after they arrived at the border.
“The envoy of Jin had already gone to Chu a few days ago.”
“Just yesterday, the Great General of Chu, Yuchi Tianqiong, arrived at the
Hantian Pass. Over at Jin, the frequency of training has also increased.”
“We suspect that the siege will be in the next two days.” Xiao Yang said with a solemn expression.
The others nodded in agreement.
This was why they felt that the marshal had come at the right time. If the marshal wasn’t around and the imperial court’s army was in charge, the outcome would definitely be bad.
Li Xiao nodded.
“Hmph, if they dare to come, I will make sure they never return.” He said in a deep voice.
“Marshal is mighty!”
“Marshal is right! This is the style of our Nangong Army!”

” Right, let’s show them the power of Nangong Army!”
The tent was instantly excited.
After a while, Li Xiao raised his hand to silence everyone.
After saying a few simple words, he asked Xiao Yang to invite the generals of the imperial court army over for a meeting.
“Yes!” Xiao Yang agreed with a smile and left the tent.
As he walked out, his heart was filled with pride.
The era that belonged to the Nangong Army was finally coming back.
Not long after Xiao Yang left, all the important generals of the imperial court army arrived.
Li Xiao took out the imperial edict and read it out, then showed his commander’s seal.
The generals of the imperial court army immediately knelt down and greeted the marshal, sincerely convinced.
They were actually happy about Li Xiao’s arrival and the Nangong Army taking charge of the situation.
Chu and Jin could make a move at any moment. Without the Nangong Army and the marshal, they were no match for him.
With the arrival of the marshal, not only did the Nangong Army have a backbone, they also felt at ease.
Seeing the generals surrender, Li Xiao did not delay and quickly began to make strategic arrangements.
Most of the generals of the imperial court army were old men. They had followed the Great General King in battle before and had even followed Li Xiao in battle.
Almost all of them were used to the Nangong Family’s fighting style, and they adapted very quickly.
Soon, after two hours, the battle plan was arranged.
After Xiao Yang sent the generals of the imperial court away and the people of the Nangong Army left, Li Xiao finally had some free time.
Lin Xiaoyue took out some food from her interspatial ring and placed it on the table. Then, she pulled Li Xiao to the side and sat down. She massaged her husband’s shoulders and served him food.
“Thank you for your hard work. You were so majestic just now!” She said as she attentively took care of him.
She knew that her husband used to be a general. When they came to the border, they fought together.
But today, she saw her husband’s commanding.
With so many generals listening to him alone, the battle plan was comprehensive and neat, as if he had already known the situation.
Li Xiao was amused by his wife’s words and took a piece of pastry.
After realizing that it tasted good, he took another piece and turned around to put the pastry into his wife’s mouth.
“As long as it pleases you.” Then, he replied.
Lin Xiaoyue’s face turned red.
This fellow was getting better and better at teasing her…
Just like that, the couple settled down in the Iron Gate Mountain camp.
At night.
Lin Xiaoyue rested and was about to urge Li Xiao to go to bed to rest..
