Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

"Your Majesty, our Fifth Army Corps has been training for more than five months. The soldiers are all working hard. Let us take the lead in this battle, right?"

Chen Xiang volunteered.

"Let's do this. I'll give your Fifth Legion a chance to set off tomorrow morning to break into the Sui Empire and capture their important border town of Lishui City."

Lu Hao reluctantly agreed.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely take down Lishui City!"

Chen Xiang assured loudly.

"This battle is our first battle into the Sui Empire. According to the principle of victory in the first battle, if you fail to conquer Lishui City, I will let you all go back home."

Lu Hao said coldly.

"The final general is willing to issue a military order!"

Chen Xiang is also fighting with his back to the wall.

The four major legions of the Empire's Central Army have made great achievements in the Western Region, but only the newly established fifth legion is in urgent need of a war to prove its existence.

Of course, Lu Hao also wanted to pull this team out and pass the test of blood and fire to become an elite force.

"The military order is waived. You go down and prepare."

Lu Hao waved his hand.

"As ordered!"

Chen Xiang went down with other generals.

The three armies of the Imperial Central Army had not yet arrived at Liuyang City, but Pingnan General Xuanyuan Hongzhi arrived with a hundred thousand troops.

"The last general Xuanyuan Hongzhi pays homage to the Emperor!"

Xuanyuan Hongzhi knelt on one knee and said loudly.

"General Xuanyuan is exempt from courtesy!"

Lu Hao said with a smile.

After Xuanyuan Hongzhi stood up, he immediately reported: "Your Majesty, this time, the last general has brought a hundred thousand troops, hoping to participate in the attack on the Sui Empire."

The army he led did not install new weapons, and the soldiers still used cold weapons.

Although they do not have the ability to attack cities, they can provide logistical support and clean up the battlefield.

"Hahaha... Since you are here, then stay, and then I will arrange for you to cooperate with their military operations."

Lu Haole laughed.

After all, Xuanyuan Hongzhi is Xuanyuan Lingyu's eldest brother, so he still has to give him this face.

The two chatted and talked about the Western Region and the war that was about to start tomorrow.

Wu Qingyu came in a hurry and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, the Sui Empire not only refused to let Concubine Xian go, but also said that if we attack the city, Concubine Xian will be brought to block the guns!"

"What? Are they so crazy?"

Lu Hao laughed dumbly.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xian is pregnant. If they are really sent to the border from the Eastern Capital City, what will happen if the fetal force develops?"

Wu Qingyu said worriedly.

"In this case, I can only go to Dongdu City in person!"

Lu Hao's face instantly darkened.

"What? To the Eastern Capital City? Your Majesty, that is the imperial capital of the Great Sui Empire. It is truly a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. It is too dangerous for you to go alone!"

Wu Qingyu said worriedly.

"Danger? There is no place in the entire continent that I can't go to!"

Lu Hao sneered again and again.

With his current strength in the Mysterious Divine Realm, there are probably only a handful of people on the entire continent who can keep him.

After all, there are also reclusive masters like the Gunslinger who rarely get involved in worldly matters.

"Your Majesty, that little minister will go with you!"

Wu Qingyu was loyal to him.

"No! You stay in Liuyang City, keep the intelligence flowing, and be sure to master the Sui Empire's troop deployment."

Lu Hao warned.In fact, the straight-line distance from Liuyang City to the capital of the Sui Empire is only over 3000 kilometers. With Lu Hao's current strength, it won't take long.

Once he enters the Mysterious Realm of Divine Movement, his soul can quickly reach the Eastern Capital City.

The problem now is that he issued the order to attack Lishui City.

At the Lishui estuary at the junction of the two countries, the Sui Empire built a port city. It only takes two or three hours east from Liuyang City to reach Lishui City.

Lu Hao's idea is to advance by land and water tomorrow, capture Lishui City, and then drive straight in to show the Sui Empire a little glory.

Tiger poison does not eat children!
He believed that no matter how hateful Emperor Sui Yang of the Sui Empire was, he would not do anything to Nangong Ruoxue.

As for annexing the Sui Empire, Lu Hao would never be merciful, let alone give up his ambition because of Concubine Xian.

At this time, General Cheng Li of the Navy's Second Fleet also hurried over.

"The last general pays homage to the emperor!"

General Cheng Li knelt on one knee.

"General Cheng, no courtesy!"

Lu Hao waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Fifth Army Corps of the Central Army is going to attack Lishui City. I wonder if we can help?"

General Cheng Li asked.

"Hehehe... What kind of assistance? If you want to join the war, just join the war. As for how you attack Lishui City, you can discuss it with General Chen Xiang."

Lu Haole laughed.

"The last general takes orders!"

Cheng Li responded loudly.

As the Second Fleet of the Imperial Navy, like the Fifth Army of the Central Army, it has not gained any credit in the Western Region battlefield. If we don't take action now, there will be no chance.

Therefore, when General Cheng Li learned that the emperor had asked the Fifth Army to attack Lishui City, he immediately came to ask for a fight.

Lu Hao also knew what he was thinking, so he readily agreed.

General Cheng Li happily went to Chen Xiang to discuss how to go to war. The entire Liuyang City was preparing for war, and as soon as it dawned, the land and sea armies set off together.

Lishui originates from the Yunmeng Mountains. It is the rainy season now and the water level is relatively high. It is impossible for war horses to pass through the water.

However, the Lishui River is not deep, and a simple pontoon bridge can be built, enough for war horses to pass.

Therefore, the soldiers building the bridge set off two hours in advance.

Lu Hao stood on the wall of Liuyang City, watching the land and sea armies retreating in the distance, rising into the sky, and landing next to General Cheng Li in a few flashes.

"See the emperor!"

Cheng Li and other generals immediately clasped their fists and saluted.

"I am worried that you are not familiar with the route, so I will accompany you on the journey."

Lu Hao said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

General Cheng Li said with great joy.

He had been worried that he was not familiar with the route, and he also found a few familiar fellows from Liuyang City to lead the way.

Now that the emperor is guiding the way, it will be much safer.

General Chen Xiang led an army of [-] people. After two hours of galloping, they crossed Lishui and entered the border of the Sui Empire.

The Navy's Second Fleet also faced the sea breeze and headed quickly towards Lishui City.

General Cheng Li was even more anxious than Chen Xiang because he was worried that the Army would be faster than them. After all, the Navy's speed was there.

However, he also knew that the route was a straight line and the land road was curved. Therefore, it was hard to say who could reach Lishui City first.

After about two hours, General Cheng Li finally saw the port of Lishui City.

"Your Majesty, are we going to attack immediately?"

General Cheng Li asked excitedly.

Lu Hao instantly released the power of his soul and discovered that General Chen Xiang on land was now only ten kilometers away from Lishui City, and he could attack Lishui City by sea and land. (End of chapter)
