Knight of the Blue Lagoon (The Past of Tao v)

81. To conquer the east

, attack the enemy first, then attack the enemy, then attack the army, then attack the city.

~

All the courtiers agreed that Dongfu Kingdom was no longer the hard-working and submissive Dongfu Kingdom. Blue Lake was changing, and Xilu Kingdom could not tolerate the emergence of another force. The focus of the discussion in the court was how and when to send troops. The radical faction headed by Chao Sheng was very active.

The old prince also felt that Chao Ran was a bit too pushy. Even though the young prince couldn't stand the fierce arrogance of Chao Ran, he had no objection to Dongfu's sending troops. The left and right prime ministers knew in their hearts that Chao Ran had never taken them civil servants seriously.

"Now that the expedition is a foregone conclusion, how many troops can Uncle Wang mobilize?"King Xilu

"Your Majesty, although we have an army of 500,000, we can dispatch only 200,000, including 100,000 cavalry. The Kingdom of Japan has promised to send 30,000 defense troops to assist."Old Prince

"The country of Luoba is willing to send 20,000 troops."Little Prince

"He led an army of 250,000 to conquer Dongfu Kingdom. The Youfan army originally guarded the east side of Blue Lake, and the Youfan army will be the main force in this war. Uncle Wang is old and cannot easily travel long distances. General Chao Chao, I grant you the title of General of the Eastern Conquest."King Xilu

"Thanks to your majesty's kindness, I will finally conquer Dongfu Country."Transcendence is very exciting.

"250,000. If we take the land route, the road from Luoba State Camp to Dongfu State is long and time-consuming. If we take the water route, but there are not enough ships to transport it, I think we can only divide our troops into two groups, meet at Dongfu State, and then attack."Little Prince

"Your Majesty, the final general only needs to use the 50,000 elite knights of the Right Domain Army stationed in the camp of Da Ying Kingdom to defeat Dongfu Kingdom."aloof

"In the past, a small country rebelled, but this time it was different from the past when it fought against a big country and the enemy should not be underestimated. Now Dongfu's army is nearly 150,000 and there are countless people. It must be considered that all the people of Dongfu are soldiers, and the 250,000 army can have a chance of victory."Old Prince

"Old Prince, what you say makes sense and should not be taken lightly."Left Prime Minister

After the court was dismissed, the young prince saw the old prince alone at the door. The young prince stepped forward and asked:"Uncle Wang is isolated here, is he waiting for General Chao Chao?""

"He is the general of my right domain army, why not?"Old Prince

"Since he is from your right vassal army, he should wait for Uncle Wang."Little Prince

"You are jealous that the Youfan army is the main force this time and has made great achievements."Old Prince

"Uncle Wang is wrong, the battle was fought for the Xilu Kingdom, and the meritorious service was for the Xilu Kingdom. The Right Fan Army and the Left Fan Army are all Xilu Army, so how can they be distinguished from each other? Although generals can only show their value on the battlefield, General Chao Chao is young and energetic, respectful on the surface, but not so respectful on the inside. After this battle, it will be difficult for you, the old prince, to suppress Chao Ran, the number one general in Blue Lake."The young prince.

The old prince thought of his detachment in the court just now, which really made people feel like this:"Well, he will still be a general no matter how good he is in fighting. I, the king's subordinates, want to be the commander-in-chief and take charge of their own affairs. Unfortunately, he does not have the status of a relative of the king. Your Majesty will not let an outsider take charge of the Youfan Army."

"Not necessarily, Uncle Wang seems to be really old. He still remembers the knights meeting three years ago. What if General Chao Chao married Princess Baiyun? At that time, His Majesty used a martial arts competition to attract a bride, and General Chao Chao defeated General Lan. Your Majesty mentioned General Chao Chao's grandfather just now, and it seems that he no longer minds his birth, allowing him to take charge of half of the Xilu Army, which shows that Your Majesty already trusts him very much. After the war, General Chao Chao returned triumphantly, and the momentum can be imagined. The three-year wedding period has come. Regardless of whether the princess was unwilling to marry or His Majesty deliberately delayed the wedding, it is now difficult to make excuses for the wedding. Once General Chao Ren becomes the consort, he will become a relative of the country. Uncle Wang is already old and there is no way to refuse. From now on, the so-called No. 1 General of Blue Lake must be the only one in the Xilu Army, and His Majesty has to be somewhat afraid of him."Little prince.

The old prince frowned. At this time, Chao Ran walked out of the hall in a big way. The old prince wanted to step forward to give some instructions, but Chao Ran interrupted directly:"Old prince, don't worry about the war. The general has been on the battlefield for many years. It is natural to lead troops to fight with ease. The old prince can just sit in his mansion and wait for good news."

After saying that, he turned around and left, glancing at the little prince by the way. After gaining the trust of King Xilu to lead an army of 250,000 people, it was inevitable that he would get carried away for a moment. The old prince cast his eyes on the little prince.

……

King Xilu suddenly mentioned his grandfather in court, which made Chaoran a little nervous. He was very taboo about his identity as a foreigner, and especially hated that his family came from Dongfu country. He believed that his family's birth had brought him too heavy a burden, and he had gone through several generations of hardships. Can't get rid of it completely. Ever since his grandfather started, he wanted to integrate into the upper class of Xilu Kingdom, but there was always a barrier between them. Later they understood that Chao Ran had been complaining about this. Every time someone mentioned his birth, he would feel uncontrollable anger in his heart. He secretly vowed to Destroy Dongfu State and completely cut off its roots. After becoming the general who conquered the east, he wished he could immediately send out troops to conquer the country of Dongfu.

The tall trees cover the morning clouds, thousands of horses are roaring, the battle flags are whistling in the wind, and the general is one horse ahead.

The general led the knights to rush towards the enemy's rear. The light of the sword was like moonlight, and the blood was like river water, slashing into the world and flowing to the earth, dyeing the battlefield red. It was green and sad, the sky was full of beacon fire, and the smoke was filled. It was hard to tell whether it was the world or hell.

"The Dongfu Army is nothing more than ants to us, the Knights of the Right Domain Army."Looking at the scattered corpses on the battlefield, Transcendence said with great satisfaction.

"General, the commander-in-chief of the Dongfu Army has been captured alive by us."A knight reports

"Haha...haha...where are the people?"Transcendentally ecstatic

"In front of a gutter."

Transcendence came to the sewer on horseback. The knights had surrounded him. He lowered his head, his hair was scattered, and his body was covered in blood. When he saw the general, the knights made way for him.

"Our transcendent general of the Xilu Army has arrived, but he still doesn’t get up."A knight shouted.

The man didn't seem to hear and didn't move at all. Seeing this, the knight on the side said:"Is he dead?"

Another knight stepped forward and kicked him. He was shaking. He dismounted and walked up to him. He used a knife to push his hair away. When he saw his face, he shouted in surprise:"General in blue?"

He was stunned for a while, and then quickly smiled arrogantly:"General in blue, you didn't expect that, did you? He slowly raised his head and stared at Chao Ran with a very strange expression, and asked:"General in blue?" Yeah?"

After speaking, he burst into laughter. The laughter made all the knights stand on end. Everyone who saw this scene shuddered. Chao Chao suddenly felt uneasy, put away his expression, his face became stiff and confused, and he angrily interrupted Lan Yi's hand and Feet, Lan Yi was dragged into the prison car and transported to the camp.

The war was won and the commander of the Dongfu Army was captured alive. The knights celebrated as usual. They all drank alone and got drunk until late at night. They didn't calm down until late at night. This time, they couldn't mention the transcendence. I was interested in drinking, and when I was alone in the tent, I always felt that something was wrong. I was lying on the couch, and as soon as I closed my eyes, that eerie face appeared in my mind. I opened my eyes aloof, and then reappeared when I closed my eyes. When I opened them, it appeared again. He closed his eyes and finally opened them. He couldn't stand it anymore. He jumped down from the couch, went to the cage and dragged Lan Yi out.

Lan Yi knelt on the ground, never saying a word, and raised the knife aloofly, and slashed down hard. , but the knife suddenly froze, even with all his strength, it could not move. Lan Yi slowly turned his head to look at Chao Ran, showing a terrifying smile. This face made Chao Ran go crazy...

Chao Ran started to laugh wildly, and then Covered in sweat, her body was trembling non-stop. Zu Xiu, who was lying next to her, was frightened. She wiped the sweat from Chao Ran. Suddenly Chao Ran grabbed Zu Xiu's arm, getting tighter and tighter, and swung it hard, as if waving. What? Before Zu Xiu could finish shouting, he was thrown off the bed. Chao Ran suddenly sat up and looked around. After a while, he found Zu Xiu lying on the ground.

Chao Ran often had dreams. He dreamed that his grandfather taught him. He saw his father coming to see him and dreamed that Eunuch Cui was playing with that part of his body.

"Did it hit you?"After regaining consciousness, he quickly helped Zu Xiu up.

"I'm fine. Did I have another nightmare?"Zu Xiu understood it very well.

She sat on the couch detachedly and couldn't calm down for a long time. The sweat kept flowing down. Zu Xiu wiped the sweat and asked:"Did you dream of Eunuch Cui again this time?"

He shook his head helplessly.

"Is it the general in blue?"

Chaoran turned to look at Zuxiu and nodded. Zuxiu asked someone to bring a basin of water to wash Chaoran's face. Every time Chaoran dreamed about his grandfather and father, his expression was like a child's. When he dreamed about Cui Eunuch, his face was full of hatred. Recently, Chaoran looked like a child. For a period of time, he would occasionally call out to the general in blue at night, and Zu Xiu asked:"Isn't he dead?"

"I dreamed that the Dongfu Army was defeated and the general in blue became a prisoner and was about to chop off his head."aloof

"Beheaded?"

He stared at Zu Xiu detachedly, with fear still remaining in his eyes:"I found out that he is not Lan Yi."

"Who is that?"

Chao Ran grabbed Zu Xiu's hand and said,"It's me. It turned out to be my own head that was chopped off."

Zu Xiu then understood why he threw himself off the bed just now, and then he felt how hard he had just used, and his arm twitched consciously.Ran noticed the redness and swelling on Zuxiu's arm, touched her injury, and felt distressed.
