Chapter Twenty-Five: Creating Opportunities
"Reportβ" A long voice came from outside the temple, from far and near, and the herald ran quickly to the nearest place to the Feather Emperor, because he couldn't stop his extremely fast steps, and directly knelt down.
The herald said incoherently, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Under... Tightly... Urgent military situation. β
Yu Huang listened vaguely and raised his eyebrows: "Military intelligence? Don't be in a hurry to speak slowly. β
The sweaty herald swallowed, wiped his sweat, and forced himself to compose.
"Your Majesty, the Protoss Army suddenly attacked in a big way, and now it has directly crossed the defensive range of the Left Wing Army."
Yu Huang's face immediately became serious: "Protoss? How long has it been since the Battle of the Water, how could it provoke a war again? β
Yu Qingling stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, there are a large number of Protoss in the Battle of the Water, and our army only narrowly won, and this battle will not have much impact on the Protoss as a whole."
Yu Huang nodded, and looked at the herald again: "Can you know the number of people?" Who rules it? β
The herald recalled: "The number is not large, only about 20,000 people, and the person in command is the Protoss Divine Monarch."
"What!" The herald's words shocked everyone.
Yu Qingling frowned, and thought to herself: "20,000 people will go deep into the realm of the Yu clan alone, this is to send them to death?"
Yu Huang breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "Is the information correct?"
The herald first nodded, then shook his head, and even the herald could see that this was most likely a trap.
Emperor Yu understood what the herald meant, looked around, and shouted, "Yushan River, you lead the Protector Army." Then his eyes looked at Luo Shen again: "Your Excellency Luo Shen, His Highness He is the first time to lead the army, you can lead part of the Yulin Army to go together, and support His Highness He."
Luo Shen was very puzzled when he heard Emperor Yu call his name, and stepped forward and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Xia Guan was originally an officer of the Left Wing Army stationed in Yudu, and it stands to reason that without General Ji Zuo's order, I can't participate in the affairs of Yudu."
Emperor Yu persuaded and explained: "Your Excellency Luo Shen, you should know, our Yu clan has always been in a hurry to obey power. Emperor Yu's tone suddenly became majestic: "Could it be that His Excellency Luo Shen thinks that General Ji Zuo's power is greater than mine?" β
Luo Shen hurriedly knelt down: "The lower official has no intention of offending, and please ask Your Majesty to learn clearly." β
Emperor Yu stroked his beard and said in a comforting tone: "Your Excellency Luo Shen, I know that you are loyal, that is, there is a certain time, you have to learn to be flexible."
Luo Shen hugged his fists and saluted properly: "Yes, the subordinate officer will receive the order." β
Emperor Yu's face showed joy, and just as he wanted to give an order, the herald who had been standing aside said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, the Protoss has specified that His Highness Ling will go forward. β
Emperor Yu was slightly stunned, then reacted, waved his hand and said, "Her Royal Highness Ling has just returned from Rushui, her royal army still needs to rest, besides, why should we care about the requirements of the Protoss." β
Yu Qingling suddenly thought of something, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the royal army has been resting for many days, the provocation of the Protoss is obviously a trap, His Highness He has no experience in warfare, and it will be very dangerous to send His Highness He." β
Yu Shanhe also echoed: "It's really dangerous, Father, the military affairs of our Protector Army have not yet fully recovered, so let's let His Royal Highness Ling and the Royal Army go."
Emperor Yu looked at the unfortunate Yushanhe, glared at him, and didn't say anything: "Okay, since His Royal Highness Ling is asking for battle, there is nothing to say, let's leave tomorrow."
Yuhuang narrowed Luo Shen's eyes: "Your Excellency Luo Shen, what about you?"
Luo Shen was confused, why did all these problems come to him? I must have not read the yellow calendar when I went out today.
Before Luo Shen could speak, Yu Qingling said for him first: "With the assistance of His Excellency Luo Shen, no matter how the Protoss ambushes, I believe that we will definitely win this battle."
Yu Huang hesitated a little and kept staring at Luo Shen.
Luo Shen nodded with considerable satisfaction, he was in the whirlpool of the battle for the crown prince just now, and if he was not careful, he would lose his head. Fortunately, His Royal Highness Ling is very understanding and helped him answer, if he misses this opportunity, he will become an enemy with the girl he likes in the future.
The next day, Yu Qingling's royal army and part of the Yulin army led by Luo Shen set off.
The march was very relaxed, there was no sense of tension and oppression in the past, and Yu Qingling was even more relaxed, and only sent a few scouts to reconnoiter along the way.
"Oh, hey, Xuanyu, don't you like this dish of a hundred flowers?" Luo Shen wore a white chef's apron and chased after Xuanyu with a plate of colorful food.
Xuanyu said impatiently: "I don't like to eat carrots, cucumbers, potatoes, I don't like to put them together, and also, you can also call them flowers?"
Luo Shen was reprimanded by Xuanyu, and fell into a hesitation for a while, feeling that his dream of becoming a chef was shattered, but soon the next dark dish was born out of thin air.
Xuanyu was also puzzled, she remembered that when she first saw this thin and tall officer, she was obviously a very gentle and easily shy person, how could she become so clingy.
Yu Qing held his cheeks, sat by the window, and remembered what Yunhe said to himself on the night of his birthday banquet: "Opportunities are created by people, at most one month, we will definitely meet again."
Yu Qingling smiled knowingly when she thought of this, but complained to Yunhe in her heart: "This guy can come up with such a method, it's too child's play." Although she complained, Yu Qingling always felt warm in her heart.
The march was easy, but the speed was still fast, mainly because Yu Qingling wanted to see someone too much.
It only took half a month for Yu Qingling to set up camp on the southwest border of the Yu clan.
Yun He actually didn't bring tens of thousands of people at all, because Qin Yishuang didn't support this war, and Yun He, as a god monarch, also recruited an army of thousands of people, but with this quality, it can't be imposed.
Zhao Po was promoted as he wished, and became the commander of the thousands of people who were newly recruited.
Zhao Po happily went to work and checked the army, but when he saw the scattered and shapeless team and the people in the team, he couldn't help but look dark, and almost didn't stop. It's like a park, with a lot of old people on crutches and a few teenage children around them.
Zhao Po walked to the front and asked cautiously, for fear that the loud voice would scare these old people who couldn't stand still.
"Excuse me, who is in charge of this team?"
The answer to the question was a young child standing in front of him, the child looked Zhao Po up and down, the clothes he was wearing were very simple, but the fabric was fine, and there was a token on his waist to indicate the identity of the capital.
The child stared at the token on Zhao Po's waist for a while, then raised his head, showed a smiling expression, and stretched out a finger to point at an old man who was hunched over the waist surrounded by the crowd in the ranks.
Zhao Po walked in the direction of the child's finger, Zhao Po first saw the old man's black, white and gray hair color, and when he looked down, he saw a very cunning face, and Zhao Po's favor towards him suddenly dropped significantly.
The people around him saw someone walking towards him and looked at him with some vigilance.
Zhao Po saw the hostility in these people's eyes, and hurriedly waved his two hands vigorously on his chest, with a bright smile on his face, making the whole person look more amiable.
"Grandparents, ahh......hh Sir. Zhao Po was very reluctant to say the word chief, chief, chief, chief, looking at their age, almost everyone can be their grandfather.
Those people saw the token on Zhao Po's waist and confirmed his identity before letting him over.
Zhao Po stood next to the old man and saw a smile on his cunning face, Zhao Po felt cold at this smile, as if he had been calculated.
Seeing that Zhao Po didn't speak, the old man opened his mouth first: "My lord, what are you looking for us?" The old man's voice matched his appearance very well, and he had a very cunning and sleek feeling.
Zhao Po said honestly: "Well, I'm here to inspect the army."
The old man laughed and said bluntly, "My lord, do you think that we people can really pick up swords?"
Zhao Po quickly shook his head, and the old man smiled and turned to leave.
"No, no, I've also seen officers inspect the army, aren't all the soldiers holding their heads high, shouting slogans, and being respectful to their commanders? What kind of officer are you! Failure, failure. Zhao Po muttered dissatisfiedly, and didn't dare to do anything to these nearly 100-year-old people, so he had to go back stupidly.
"Your Majesty." Zhao Po lengthened his tone, looking yin and yang, which made Yun He, who was lying on the table watching the two ants fight, frown.
Yunhe raised his head and looked at Zhao Po with some anger: "What kind of ghost tone are you, why do I sound so awkward."
Yunhe lowered his head again, wanting to continue watching the battle, but he couldn't find the two ants.
Yunhe stood up and amplified his voice: "Zhao Po, you don't go to train your soldiers, you have a sad face, what are you doing running over in a weird way, the war has reached the most critical time, as soon as you come, I can't see which ant won in the end, I told the two ants, whoever wins, I will divide this pot of dessert with him in half, you make me untrustworthy, you have lost the face of the god monarch, what should you be guilty of!"
Zhao Po drooped his head, "Your Majesty, you asked me to go to training, but there are no soldiers, the playground below is about to become a park, I really can't stand it." β
Yunhe's anger was half gone, he walked to Zhao Po's side, patted Zhao Po's shoulder, and smiled mysteriously: "We are going to take them to attack the Yu Clan, as the commander, of course you have to rush to the front line to set an example for them."
Zhao Po was so frightened that he staggered forward, but Yunhe still supported him, and he cried with a sad face: "What is this, I don't care, I won't do it."
Yunhe let go of the hand holding him and put his hand behind his back: "Zhao Dutong, you don't want to do it?"
Zhao Po nodded vigorously: "Don't do it, don't do it, say nothing and don't do anything."
Yunhe shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity, you're still so young."
Zhao Po heard that something was wrong, raised his head and asked Yunhe: "What does you mean by this?"
Yunhe turned around and looked out the window and let out a long sigh: "You know too much, if you don't plan to follow me, I won't let you leave at ease."
Zhao Po was terrified when he heard this, and it took a while before he reacted: "Your Majesty, I have to die today even later."
Yunhe nodded and shook his head again: "How can it be so serious as you say, I promise you, you will not be in danger in this battle."
Zhao Po glanced at him in disbelief: "I hope that the king has the grace to support me, and I won't blame the king."
After speaking, Zhao Po ran out "humble", like a girl who had been completely wronged.
