The generals and other people around my father welcomed them in Hongzhou.

Nangong Yuan turned over and got off the horse. She was not wearing armor, only a dark tights and a plain white headband.

"Miss, we are ashamed of the general."

Nangong Yuan shook her head: "This is none of your business, you did your best."

She looked at the familiar city walls of Hongzhou. It was colder here than in Kyoto and it was still snowing.

"Go in, the general's body is still here."

There has been a lot of fighting in Hongzhou recently, and they cannot send anyone to escort him. Moreover, they are also worried that someone will make trouble with the general's body.

Nangong Yuan followed them into the room and saw the mourning hall at the door.

"Father, I'm here to take you home."

The soldiers behind him took off their armor and knelt outside. Nangong Yuan's legs felt a little weak.

She entered and saw someone lying in the coffin.

"Father!"

His face was the pale blue color typical of a dead person, and his lips were almost purple. His body was washed very clean, but there were still scars on his face from the injuries.

It was cold, so he seemed frozen in time at the moment of death, unchanged.

"I...I'm here to pick you up, father."

Of course that person would not answer her. Nangong Yuan laid in front of the coffin, crying like rain.

When he left, he was still worried about his daughter's marriage, afraid that she would choose the wrong person, so he repeatedly told her to wait.

Unexpectedly, when we met again, we would be separated by death.

"Miss, the dead are gone, you must take care of yourself."

Nangong Yuan stood up and wiped her tears, and asked, "Is the person who poisoned you still here?"

"They are not dead. They have been locked up. The army has dealt with a group of them, and I secretly kept some of them."

"Very good, I will never let this matter go lightly. Whoever kills will die!"

She turned around and lit a stick of incense.

"Father, I will find out the real murderer and avenge you. If you are still alive, please watch me as I take back everything."

After saying that, she got up and left.

She did not stay in front of the mourning hall for long because there were more important things to do.

"The people I brought with me will be incorporated into the local team and will fight alongside you in the battle to kill the enemy."

"Yes, Miss,"

Nangong Yuan turned around and said, "From today on, call me General."

She brought His Majesty's imperial edict, and everyone knelt down to listen to it.

Unexpectedly, the emperor really handed over the military affairs in the west to Nangong Yuan.

"From today on, I will be in full control of Hongzhou's affairs, and the original position of Tianlan Army will remain unchanged."

Everyone knelt down to receive the order, and Nangong Yuan said, "Come on, tell me about the current situation."

She returned to the hall and called all the soldiers who participated in the war to come and discuss the matter.

The immediate boss turned out to be a woman, the daughter of the former boss, and everyone felt complicated.

But Nangong Yuan seemed not to notice at all.

She sat there and read the general newspaper one by one.

He then asked the vanguard to answer: "The enemy set an ambush at Fenglang Mountain the day before the march. Why didn't the vanguard discover it?"

She saw blood, and the other party's face was burning with panic. He said, "It was my fault. The news we sent out that day was correct."

"So, you didn't send anyone to investigate, and you only realized something was wrong after the scouts died."

Nangong Yuan sneered: "You guys are really funny, you treat your enemies as your own family."

"My subordinates dare not!"

"Don't dare? Since you can't do the things you are accused of doing well, then don't do it. Go down and accept the punishment."

As soon as Nangong Yuan arrived, she started to investigate the responsibilities.

Originally, after the general's death, all of them would have been punished, but without their superior, the matter was shelved.

Unexpectedly, Nangong Yuan was so ruthless as soon as she arrived.

"I don't accept it! You are a woman, who knows whether His Majesty really agrees to let you be a general."

Nangong Yuan said, "You have defied His Majesty's order and provoked your superiors, and your crime is even more serious. You will be dismissed from your military post. You may leave now."

"you dare!"

Nangong Yuan snorted coldly: "Why shouldn't I dare? General Lin, what do you think is inappropriate about my punishment?"

"General, there is nothing wrong with that. According to military law, those who fail to do their duty must be punished. Those who deny their duty will be punished more severely."

"Did you understand? Where are the people? What are you all standing there for? Drag them away!"

Soon, someone came forward and dragged the forward out with him tied up.

Nangong Yuan said: "Okay, let's continue."

The others were trembling with fear, and some had ulterior motives.

"Who is responsible for the food supply for the army?"

"General, it's me."

“Since there was a problem with the food, why wasn’t it discovered in time?”

The man knelt on one knee and said, "The other party is a spy. We were not prepared. Moreover, this person has been in the army for more than ten years. I didn't expect that he would do such a vicious thing."

"The traitor admitted responsibility, what about you? Why don't you give the general's food a try before you use it."

"The general loves his soldiers like his own sons and never eats separately from us. It is... it is my fault."

Nangong Yuan's hand holding the document was a little stiff: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. I want you to be in charge of food again from now on, and make up for your crime with merit."

"Yes, General Xie, I will do my best."

Those who deserve punishment are punished, and those who deserve reward are rewarded. Nangong Yuan handles military affairs with incredible skill.

When she was at home, she read through all her father's military books and all the documents, which were all written by him before.

It was placed in the study and no one read it on weekdays. Nangong Yuan was interested in it, so she learned a lot.

Now, it really comes in handy.

"Where is the enemy fighting now?"

"They dug a road in Fenglang Mountain and set up a defense line. We can only retreat back to the city now."

Nangong Yuan said: "I remember there is a training ground in the western suburbs. Have you used it?"

“Naturally, that’s where most people live now.”

"Yes, send out scouts to keep an eye on the enemy's movements. Report any movement immediately."

"Yes, General!"

Everyone's impression of her changed drastically. Originally, everyone was worried that Nangong Yuan would not be able to handle the heavy responsibility, so they were very concerned.

But now it seems that she may be able to sit there.

"Go do your own work and submit the rest of the report. I want to see it."

They then faded away one after another.

Some people were very moved: "I didn't expect that the old general's children would be so outstanding, even the daughter is so amazing."

"Alas, it's a pity that the general is gone, otherwise he would be so happy."

Some people also sneered: "It's just a trifle. Let's see if she can stop Xisha. Otherwise, His Majesty will punish us and we will all die!"

"Who do you think you are? How dare you look down on the general?"

"I'm telling the truth. I'm just a woman, I look strong but I'm weak!"

"That's enough. Now that things have come to this, why are you still arguing? Aren't you ashamed?"

Lin Yun scolded them and told them to go back to work.

"The general said he wanted to see the report, why don't you go now!"

"gone."

"Humph!"

Seeing this scene, some people were worried: "What should we do? Can the general control it?"

"Why worry? No matter what, I will stand by the general. I trust her."
