Chapter 889-89. Are there not many soldiers?"You finally called me father!" Mu Jin said with heartfelt happiness in his heart. This feeling was something that he had only had with Wei Yuanwei a long, long time ago.
"Hurry up and tell me. Those people in the village are so respectful to you. Their faces are all filled with worship. When you were fighting, you must have been very brave and very handsome, right?" Su"er was still curious about this point.
"At that time …" Mu Jin carried Su"er and sat on the hillside, looking at the bright moon in the sky, she pointed at the direction where Eastern Chu State used to be, and spoke about what had happened on the battlefield.
From his simple reliance back then, he now worshipped Mu Jin as if he was a G.o.d.
The things that Mu Jin had said about the past, no matter what it was, were all things that made the pa.s.sion in her heart surge.
Her father was too powerful!
Previously, she only worshipped her own master, but now, she felt that her father was even greater.
Xuan Li rushed to the border like a galloping horse, and in just half a month, he had settled the chaos outside the border. As for Cang Chu who disguised himself as Mu Jin, because saving the emperor had helped him greatly, he was extremely recognized by the Emperor.
All these were left entirely to Mu Jin. The Prince An and Prince Lu played their part one after another and thought that the Jianghu Sect should not be involved in the matters of the imperial court.
wanted precisely this sentence, so that Prince An and Prince Lu could have a match. The two sides would both bring their tactics to the training ground to practice, and if Mu Jin lost, then Mu Jin would not be able to meddle in the matters of the imperial government. If Prince An and Prince Lu lost, then the two of them would both be at the same level of strength.
Then the Emperor would grant him the t.i.tle of a first grade general, representing the Southern Mountain State in their expedition to the Northern Desert State.
This match left everyone speechless. After all, the Prince An and the Prince Lu were both generals.
And Prince An and Duke Lu naturally had no reason to reject it either.
In the end, in the compet.i.tion one month later, everyone believed that Prince An and Prince Lu would win for sure, but who would have thought that Mu Jin would win?
Under the watchful eyes of everyone,
But it caused Prince An and Prince Lu"s faces to turn unsightly for a moment.
However, they knew clearly in their hearts that this was very likely because the Emperor was holding onto the weapon book that Mu Jin had previously written.
As a result, the two of them became even more determined to get rid of Mu Zhi and obtain the military manual that Mu Jin had written.
Cang Chu looked at the array formation that he could not understand at all and heaved a long sigh of relief. If not for Xuan Li"s constant reminder on how to array and attack, he simply wouldn"t have been able to win against Prince An and Duke Lu.
Even though this was a simulated battle and he didn"t need to practice with his saber nor did he need to put on his disguise, but the whole battle was still filled with flying sand and stones.
It was as if he was truly trapped in a war.
This caused Cang Chu"s face to turn serious, and his forehead to break out in cold sweat. Then, he gave a thumbs up to Xuan Li who was beside him.
On the other hand, Xuan Li was obviously looking down on him.
"I didn"t expect you to be so incredible. You"ve made me worry for nothing from the start!" At first, Cang Chu was truly worried. Prince An and Duke Lu were both veterans on the battlefield, so their experience should be even older than his.
But Xuan Li had allowed him to win, step by step. This forced Cang Chu to have a whole new level of respect for him.
She had always thought of him as an ice log, but now Xuan Li was an ice log with a culture of her own.
"It"s not that I"m powerful, it"s that Master told me how powerful the military strategy is. Master has spent five years researching the military strategy and battle techniques of Southern Mountain State and Prince Lu!" Xuan Li said as he walked past Cang Chu.
Under the silver mask, Cang Chu raised his eyebrows slightly. Right, the former Mu Jin had wholeheartedly wanted to take revenge for his father and take back his throne.
Even the flaws between the various armies had probably been figured out by Mu Jin. Unfortunately, in the end, they were not put to use, and the result was that they could only try their luck in this simulation battle.
"Good, Young Lord is truly intelligent and has studied the art of war for many years. I heard that Young Master"s father was once a general. He truly received the teachings of my father!" Mu Zhi sat on the throne, clapping his hands as he spoke.
The faces of the Prince An and the Duke Lu darkened to the extreme, and all the people present looked at this scene in disbelief.
Everyone began to guess which wise and mighty general the son of, and many famous generals managed to guess who this young master was. Some of them even directly said that this might be the name of Mu Jin"s son.
Even if Mu Jin had a child when he was twenty, that child was still more than ten years old. How could he possibly be Mu Jin"s child?
Of course, none of them guessed from Mu Jin.
Because Mu Jin had already died, and had already been dead for five years, so it was impossible for him to be alive.
"Your majesty is too kind!" Cang Chu lowered his head slightly as he spoke in a neither humble nor haughty manner.
"This time"s Northern Desert State"s civil war is a great time to attack the Northern Desert State, so we have given you the t.i.tle of commander-in-chief, leading fifty thousand elite soldiers to station at the Northern Desert State"s border, waiting for the right time to attack!" After the Emperor finished speaking, he looked towards the Prince An and Prince Lu.
His meaning was very obvious. He wanted Prince An and Prince Lu to hand over the authority of twenty-five thousand soldiers each.
As a result, the military power held by the Prince An and Prince Lu weakened a bit.
It was only now that Prince An and Duke Lu realized that they had very possibly fallen into Mu Zhi"s and"s trap.
Everyone could see that they had already lost, and it was a decided three win. They had never won a single round, but they had tied in the first and lost in the last two rounds.
Therefore, they had no reason to refuse.
Either they rebelled now, or they could only obediently hand over a portion of the military power.
"Fifty thousand, could it be a little short?" Although Cang Chu had not received any formal military training before, hearing this number, he felt that it was a little lacking. According to his knowledge, the Seventh Prince had an army of eighty thousand soldiers under his command.
Xuan Li lowered his voice and replied: "Even if I gave you an army of a million, you still wouldn"t have been able to win. Back then, Master only took down a death squadron with a few dozen people!"
"I"m telling you this right now, do you really want to die on the battlefield?" Cang Chu knew that Xuan Li had complaints, but he didn"t want that to happen.
"Even if I have to die, the one who will die will be you!" After Xuan Li finished speaking, he no longer bothered with Cang Chu.
