But before setting out westward... Song An had to repay his emotional debts, so the eldest son of King Song's Mansion married nine wives in one go, sired heirs, and after completing the "honeymoon period," Song An "quite in the style of Zhao Hua" led fifty thousand troops westward.
However, unlike Ouyang Chuchu, Zhao Lingxue also joined Song An on the campaign.
She was the only one among Song An's ten wives who went with the army.
This young lady had grown up under Song Cheng's watchful eye and naturally enjoyed many benefits, and she also possessed a talent in beast-taming.
So strictly speaking, Song An had led fifty thousand troops and ten thousand demon beasts on the campaign.
Because Zhao Lingxue, along with some former disciples of White Camel Estate, brought "ten thousand demon beasts," which even constituted a small army corps.
The reason Song Cheng agreed to Song An's western expedition was also due to his concern for Ting.
