Chapter 2384: Chapter 2381: Receiving the News

Su Yun nodded: "Rest assured, Prince, I understand your intentions. Even if I wanted to hasten things, there’s no way, as change doesn’t happen overnight. However, given time, I am certain I can improve the lives of the people in the Northwest to at least be better than they are now."

Li Chongjin nodded and let him leave, then proceeded to the training camp.

This time, he trained even more cavalry.

This couldn’t be helped, as it was an order from Emperor Xuanming. The cavalry numbers in the Northern Region were insufficient, and the batch trained by Chu Heng had already been dispatched there.

Another group was called back.

In this way, they could also deter the Beirong from acting rashly, while the training in the capital couldn’t be halted as the defense there was crucial.

Meanwhile, several mountain passes in the Northern Region frequently saw small-scale skirmishes.

Ye Hao, clad in armor, bore not only bloodstains but also thick dust after long periods supporting patrols in the field.

He led a small squad, lying in ambush beside the valley.

"General, after waiting so long, will the Beirong really come this way?" asked a young soldier lying on the ground beside Ye Hao.

"It’s highly possible. They want to probe our strength and intentionally instigate battles upfront, but their real aim is to infiltrate," Ye Hao responded, not blinking as he continued watching below the valley.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of movement arose, prompting him to immediately raise his hand.

The soldiers behind him became more alert.

Archers were ready.

Sure enough, in less than fifteen minutes, a group of no more than ten Beirong soldiers passed through the valley.

As they reached the central area, Ye Hao abruptly dropped his hand, and a volley of arrows shot out, below came the screams of Beirong soldiers trying to parry them.

Ye Hao mounted his horse swiftly, leading over twenty cavalry to charge into the valley.

"Attack!"

The war broke out in an instant.

The forces clashed.

Once the battle ended, the valley was filled with the stench of blood. All ten Beirong cavalry were dead, while Ye Hao’s side had several heavily injured and over ten lightly wounded soldiers.

"Yun Hao, take ten men and escort the heavily wounded back. I will stay to clear the battlefield."

"Yes." The young man who spoke to Ye Hao before responded promptly, and soon the cavalry vanished into the distance.

After tidying up the battlefield, Ye Hao and the remaining ten or so soldiers didn’t leave immediately. They conducted a thorough inspection around the valley, eliminating any traces, and then departed.

When he returned to the camp, he happened to encounter cavalry arriving from the capital.

These men were numerous but not as fast as messengers delivering military orders, thus several cavalry battalions in the Northern Region had adopted the cavalry training methods devised by Chu Heng, achieving more success than before.

So when the cavalry from the capital arrived, soldiers from several cavalry battalions in the Northern Region were eager to test themselves.

However, Ye Hao had little interest. When the methods from the capital arrived, he privately learned the news that his brother-in-law Chu Heng was injured and in a coma.

To avoid worrying his family, and because his sister also sent word to keep it a secret, the entire Ye family had no idea about Chu Heng’s incident to this day.

Chu Heng’s accident also brought him some troubles in the barracks, with those who had longstanding grudges against him growing bolder.

Nevertheless, Ye Hao was already a high-ranking general.
