Northern Expedition City!
The Daewon Empire's Northern Expedition General Daewon rested for a while after processing a batch of battle reports. He held a cup of tea and stood at the sand table again, looking at the changes in the military forces on the sand table.
"Any news from Chang Ming?" The Grand Marshal looked at the twelve cities of Dahan.
"I heard that General Chang should be heading straight for Chaoge City!" A subordinate said respectfully.
"Oh? Heading straight for Chaoge City? You want to get it done once and for all? "The Marshal smiled slightly.
The subordinate on the side frowned and said, "Grand Marshal, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it. It's like a bone in my throat. It's a little …!"
"Say it!" The Grand Marshal said lightly.
"We've been in contact with that Chang Ming for a while. How can someone like him lead an army? We've deduced a few times, but what did he say? He's stubborn and blind. Such a person will only lead the army to destruction. Why did the Grand Marshal make him the commander of the Eighth Army? Five hundred thousand soldiers were given to him, but … I just can't accept it. How can a person like him harm the army? Just because he's from the Chang Family? "The subordinate said unhappily.
The Grand Marshal smiled slightly and shook his head. "Self-righteous, self-opinionated, and self-opinionated. He thinks he's very powerful? Ha, I know that too! "
"Huh? Then why did the Grand Marshal …? "
The Grand Marshal sipped his tea and shook his head. He narrowed his eyes and said, "You saw Chang Ming. He seems to be unrealistic and has no ability. He thinks he's very powerful, but he's actually a good-for-nothing? Heh, you're mistaken! "
"Oh?" The subordinate was surprised.
"If he's a good-for-nothing, why does the Chang Family value him so much? He's the youngest son of the Master of the Chang Family, and he's not the son of the first wife. Why does his status in the Chang Family seem to be higher than all his brothers? Are those old monsters of the Chang Family all fools? "The Grand Marshal chuckled.
"Huh? I don't know. Please enlighten me, Grand Marshal! "The subordinate was shocked.
"He's an idiot, but you can't blame him. Everything has been going too smoothly for him!" The Grand Marshal frowned.
"What do you mean?"
"This Chang Ming was born with evil intentions. It's as if he's blessed by the heavens. His luck has always been extremely good. Everything he does is very smooth, so smooth that everything is decided by luck. He has never met a worthy opponent. It's so smooth that he can find a treasure when he goes on an excursion. He can pick up a peerless secret manual when he falls into a valley. Even if he encounters a situation of certain death, he can get through it with the least loss! "The Grand Marshal frowned.
"Eh? How could there be such a person? Luck? "The subordinate was at a loss.
The Grand Marshal narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes, luck. Luck is also a kind of strength. However, Chang Ming was uncannily lucky. It was also because of his good luck that everything he did was smooth sailing, to the point that everyone was jealous of him. Therefore, with such smooth sailing, there were many times when he did not need to use his brain. Hehe, in this way, in your eyes, many of his ideas were like a straw bag, but to him, so what? He seems to be blessed by the gods. No matter how idiotic his ideas are, they're better than your foresight! "
The subordinate was speechless.
"This kind of person belongs to the category of 'people blessed by the heavens'. Any family that produces such a person would treat him like a treasure. Why didn't the Chang Family send anyone else in this northern expedition? It's because of this Chang Ming that the Chang Family gave all the opportunities that could bring about military merits to Chang Ming. It's all to protect him. The entire Chang Family didn't participate in this battle and gave Chang Ming the position of commander of the Eighth Army. Do you still think it's a waste? "The Grand Marshal laughed.
The subordinate was silent for a while.
"Then, can he take down the twelve cities?" The subordinate frowned.
The Grand Marshal shook his head and said, "Originally, the twelve cities were already under our encirclement, so I wasn't in a hurry. Everything could be done slowly. However, Gu Hai destroyed Lü Yang, so we had to move forward. Otherwise, if he completely took over the twelve cities, we would have to pay a huge price. Moreover, Mr. Mo's message repeatedly reminded us to be careful of this Gu Hai. Someone that even Mr. Mo has to be careful of, do you think he's easy to deal with?"
"Huh?"
"It's good that Chang Ming is going. He's very lucky. If he can deal with Gu Hai, that would be the best. If it's a situation of certain death, Chang Ming's luck will make him retreat. Moreover, this time, Chang Ming asked to go. Let's wait for the results!" The Grand Marshal said in a low voice.
"Yes!"
Zhennan City! Jinmu Of Silla's study room.
Jinmu Of Silla sat behind her desk, and a group of strategists stood in front of her.
Holding a battle report in her hand, Jinmu Of Silla narrowed her eyes. "Gao Xianzhi again?"
Sima Changkong, who was beside her, said bitterly, "That's right. The Da Ying Dynasty's cities have all been divided equally between us and the Daewon Imperial Dynasty. A group of Legion Commanders have also started to interact with the Daewon Imperial Dynasty's legions. Legion VI was the first to defeat the Yuan army and took back the first city from the Yuan army!"
Jinmu Of Silla's face was gloomy, and the strategists in the study room were also bitter.
"Grand Marshal, the Legion Commanders haven't officially shown their strength yet. Right now, they're waiting to attack! They will soon surpass Gao Xianzhi. Gao Xianzhi is just using tricks! "A strategist said softly.
"Tricks? Why don't you let them try? Hmph, what I want is results, not waiting to attack! "Jinmu Of Silla said coldly.
The strategists were silent.
"Grand Marshal, there's no need to be angry. We still don't know who Gao Xianzhi will serve in the future!" Sima Changkong persuaded.
Jinmu Of Silla suppressed the anger in her heart and nodded. "Gao Xianzhi is a sharp blade that can open up new territories. She alone can fight against a million soldiers!"
Sima Changkong nodded. The strategists wanted to refute, but they didn't know where to start.
"Lü Yang's corpse has arrived in the capital?" Jinmu Of Silla said in a low voice.
Sima Changkong nodded and said, "Yes. Along the way, all the big cities closed their doors and refused to see Lü Yang's corpse. None of the City Lords let Lü Yang's corpse enter the city!"
"Heh, now you know how to avoid suspicion?" Jinmu Of Silla laughed coldly.
"Grand Marshal, what about Lü Yang's descendants?" A strategist asked curiously.
Jinmu Of Silla squinted her eyes. "We have to eliminate the roots. His Holiness won't do it, and we can't do it either. Let the Daewon Imperial Dynasty be the evil ones!"
"Yes!" Everyone answered.
Eliminate the roots and shift the blame to the Daewon Imperial Dynasty. Everyone avoided talking about it.
"Oh right, Grand Marshal, news just came from Chaoge City! Daewon Imperial Dynasty's eighth legion, five hundred thousand soldiers, is attacking Chaoge City! "Sima Changkong suddenly said with a frown.
"Oh? Daewon Imperial Dynasty's eighth legion? Chaoge City has gone through a few disasters and is at the end of its rope. Can it still resist? "Jinmu Of Silla was slightly stunned.
Sima Changkong nodded with a bitter smile. "Daewon Imperial Dynasty's five hundred thousand soldiers were all wiped out! Only the legion commander, Chang Ming, escaped. "
"Hmm? The eighth legion was wiped out? The main commander escaped alone? Chang Ming? I don't think I've heard of this person. How did Gu Hai do it? How much did the Dahan pay? "Jinmu Of Silla was shocked.
Sima Changkong was silent for a while.
"Hmm?" Everyone looked at Sima Changkong.
"Mr. Sima, did the Han Dynasty suffer heavy losses?" A strategist asked curiously.
Sima Changkong shook his head. "The Han Dynasty didn't suffer any casualties!"
Everyone was slightly stunned.
"What do you mean by no casualties?" Jinmu Of Silla frowned.
Sima Changkong was slightly bitter as he described the information obtained by the scouts.
In the study, everyone was puzzled.
"Where did Daewon find such a good legion commander? How can such a person be a legion commander? "Jinmu Of Silla was confused.
Northern Expedition City.
Daewon's commander frowned as he read the report from a subordinate in front of him.
"Is the information reliable?" Grand Marshal frowned.
"Yes, when the people of Chaoge City came out, we sent someone to investigate. The information we obtained was that the eighth legion was all captured by Gu Hai. General Chang is also nowhere to be found!" the subordinate said bitterly.
"Grand Marshal, Chang Ming is going to be punished by military law. He didn't come back to report such a huge defeat. Where is he hiding?"
"Is he dead?"
…
…
…
The other subordinates immediately became impatient.
Grand Marshal shook his head and said, "With his luck, he won't die!"
"But this defeat is all his fault!" a general shouted angrily.
Grand Marshal shook his head. "Maybe, this Chaoge City is more dangerous than we thought. Chang Ming leaving in such a huge defeat may be the best result. At least, the commander came out alive!"
"Huh?" the subordinates' faces froze.
Was the Grand Marshal trying to absolve Chang Ming?
Grand Marshal's face was gloomy. He looked at the sand table in front of him again and fell silent.
"Could it be that this Chaoge City is hiding a monstrous killing plot?" Grand Marshal looked at the sand table with a gloomy face.
"Then, then what do we do now? Grand Marshal, let me go and destroy Chaoge City! "a subordinate said with a battle intent.
Grand Marshal narrowed his eyes and shook his head. "No need, you will die if you go!"
"Huh? Impossible, Grand Marshal, I won't be like that idiot Chang Ming! "
"I said, no need!" Grand Marshal turned his head and looked at the subordinate with a cold face.
That subordinate lowered his head and said, "Yes, please forgive me!"
Grand Marshal nodded and said, "Now the front line has begun to contact Takeshi Ryūshin's army. We must focus on contending with Takeshi Ryūshin. Daewon's plan for so many years is in this battle. We can't be distracted. As for the 12 cities of Gu Hai, humph, they are after all my, Daewon's, states within states. I'm not afraid that they will run away. After this battle, we will deal with the 12 cities! "
"Yes, sir!" the subordinates answered.
"Send someone to search for Chang Ming. If you find him, tell him to come and see me immediately!" Grand Marshal said in a deep voice.
"Yes, sir!"
