Chapter 286: Chess Pieces Move, Chaos Begins
Wang Er left Lan Xinyu's tent, dressed as usual, as if nothing had happened, but his frivolous steps showed a little strangeness, which attracted many strange looks.
Half a day later, Lan Xinyu went up to the tent to discuss matters and formally appointed Wang Er as the commander of the Red Pearl Army. In the envious eyes of everyone, Wang Er was calm and took the appointment letter calmly.
But Lan Xinyu then issued another appointment letter, appointing Liu Youyuan as the deputy commander of the Red Pearl Army to form a balance of power. Although Lan Xinyu liked Wang Er, he would not lose his mind and completely decentralize power. The prime minister was still the prime minister and was still so sensitive to power.
In addition to the Imperial City Guards that protected the Imperial City, the main combat forces of the Pearl Jade Kingdom also included the Red, Yellow, Blue and White Armies. Except for the White Pearl Army adjacent to another Ghost Palace, which did not move this time, nearly half of the other three armies were transferred here, about 100,000 troops.
However, the 100,000-strong army was not all trapped outside the passage, but most of them were stationed at the border as a reserve force. To mobilize this reserve force, the king of Zhuyu Country needed a handwritten order. In other words, the military force that Prime Minister Lan Xinyu actually controlled was less than 30%, that is, about 30,000 people, and one army was about 10,000 people.
Even for these 30,000 people, the king of Zhuyu Country also sent a lieutenant general to assist. In name, it was an assistant, but monitoring and control were the most important. The lieutenant general generally did not interfere in military affairs, but had the right to report secretly, and was the eyes and ears of the king in the center.
Although these things were obvious to everyone, the rules were set like this and had to be followed. Although Lan Xinyu had various constraints, she was able to appoint her lover as a general of an army without reporting, which proved that she still had great power.
However, Lan Xinyu's power was not the same as Wang Er's power. Wang Er, who received the appointment letter, chatted with Liu Youyuan along the way. After all, they would work together for a while, and they did not ask for concerted efforts, but only asked not to hold each other back.
However, the resentment was so deep that it was extremely difficult to resolve it at once. The two chatted casually for a few words, and it was like swallowing a fly. They had to shift the topic to praising the wisdom and bravery of Prime Minister Lan Xinyu. This might be one of the few topics they could talk about in common.
The three armies were arranged in a finished shape, protecting Lan Xinyu's central army tent. Wang Er and Liu Youyuan left the central army tent, carrying the appointment letter, and soon arrived at the Hongzhu Army Camp.
The soldiers here had already known Lan Xinyu's appointment. Led by a tall and burly female general, they welcomed the general out. Most of them were female generals, and although there were male generals, they were at the bottom.
The scene was extremely grand, with swords and guns everywhere and drums rumbling, but there were not many cheers. There was more or less doubt in their eyes, and the atmosphere was extremely strange.
Liu Youyuan said softly on the horse: "It seems that this position is not easy to get."
Wang Er turned around and looked at him, and said emphatically: "It is indeed not easy, but if there are no conditions, we must create conditions to get it."
Liu Youyuan thought about it and said nothing more.
As the saying goes, a new official takes three fires when he takes office. With a common crisis ahead, the two who were fighting before wisely chose to join forces.
If they can't control this army, it will not only hit their own faces, but also Lan Xinyu's face. It is inevitable that they will lose favor. If they lose favor, they will be just ordinary people, and personal grudges are really nothing.
Wang Er got off the horse, with a humble and gentle attitude, without any appearance of establishing authority. He entered the tent under the leadership of a group of soldiers. A banquet had been prepared here to welcome Wang Er. During the toast, Wang Er gave people the feeling that he was here to get experience.
There was already a prejudice in his heart, and this action deepened everyone's idea, but after all, he had been in the officialdom for many years, and everyone present was just watching. It was still at the moment of making a move, and it would be seen what he would do in the future.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the generals left one after another, leaving only Liu Youyuan and Wang Er in the tent. Liu Youyuan asked: "Brother Yizhi, what are you going to do?" There was a suppressed anger in his words.
When Wang Er said the banquet was over, the generals refused to stand up, and Liu Youyuan's reprimand was useless. In the end, it was the tall and burly female lieutenant general who said the banquet was over, and the generals slowly left. It can be said that she was extremely arrogant and did not take the two main generals seriously.
However, the female lieutenant general also had the qualifications to be proud. With the cultivation of half-step Jindan, even if Wang Er and Liu Youyuan were tied together, they would not be her opponent.
On the first day of taking office, Wang Er lost face and was extremely unhappy. However, he was the commander and could not get angry. He said pointedly: "The Red Pearl Army has the duty of monitoring the Bull Demon Palace. The two armies have been in constant dispute for a long time."
Liu Youyuan tasted a layer of meaning and laughed. He looked at Wang Er with some admiration. He came up with a plan to break the situation so quickly. He said: "I will go down and arrange it now."
Wang Er called him to stop, frowned and said: "I didn't tell you anything."
Liu Youyuan nodded repeatedly and said: "It's all because of my ignorance and the reckless use of the sword."
The two looked at each other and laughed. They came here to seek military merit. If the sword was not used, where would the military merit come from? With the sword, the exclusion of dissidents can be done quietly during the march and formation. Once the power of reward and punishment is mastered, today's humiliation will be gone forever.
The above are the benefits for Wang Er personally. For Wu Yi, the situation was originally turbulent. If a spark was thrown into it, it would be like a raging fire.
Five hundred miles southwest of the Red Pearl Army, there was also a large camp, but the flag was very different from that of the Pearl and Jade Kingdom. Obviously, they were not from the same force. This place was the camp of the New Moon Kingdom.
The stars are twinkling, the moon is half-hidden, and the night is slightly cool. The patrolling soldiers are doing their duty, monitoring whether there are outsiders sneaking in. The soldiers on the watchtowers are always ready to shoot the invading enemies. It can be called an iron barrel.
But such a tight place is also relative. A faint light comes from an unknown place, flickering, and it seems to be an uninhabited place.
The light is like a tide. Wherever it passes, the soldiers feel their bodies stiffen, but they recover quickly, as if they are blown by the cold wind. No one notices the difference. In this way, the light comes to the camp of the commander of the New Moon Country, where there is also a Jindan Zhenren sitting.
Mo Yinhua showed a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth, but Wu Yi strictly ordered him not to kill here, otherwise the thousands of soldiers of the New Moon Country will be transformed into his zombie army.
At the beginning, the two brothers Mo Yinhua and Mo Yinzhi resurrected the powerful who fell thousands of years ago and transformed them into their own army. One person is an army. The task Wu Yi gave him now is too simple.
The commander of the New Moon Country is called Yue Liuli. She is the younger sister of the current king. She is of noble status and is chaste. It has never been heard that she has had intercourse with men.
She is pure and abstinent. At the age of forty, she has achieved the Golden Elixir. She is very popular. Everyone says that this woman has the possibility of becoming a saint. She has a high prestige in the country.
Yue Liuli was reviewing the documents reported by the soldiers, but the candlelight in the tent suddenly flickered and a gust of cold wind passed by.
He dared to break into my tent. Yue Liuli's eyes were full of murderous intent. She chased him in the direction of the cold wind.
The two of them, one fleeing and the other chasing, soon arrived at the extreme sky.
Looking at the cold body under the hazy moonlight, Yue Liuli searched for this person in her memory, but found nothing. What is this person's background and what is his purpose here?
But she still had to show some respect when this person broke into her camp. She couldn't help but say in a cold voice: "Daoyou, you have trespassed here. You should give me an explanation."
I have been writing books for several months, and readers who have been following the books for a long time have also been following the books for several months. I write books, and you read books. It is fate that we meet. How about being friends?
After reading books for so long, I believe that everyone will not believe Sanren's simple reason. Well, there is another reason. Although Sanren has read hundreds of millions of words, he has always been a dead otaku. He lacks a layer of experience. He wants to make more friends and talk about your experiences.
You can use a pseudonym, you can make up stories, you can tell stories you heard, everything is up to you. Sanren has prepared tea and wine. Will you come to the banquet?
