Lu Yun's passionate speech immediately excited the soldiers on the parade ground. Although some people were dissatisfied before, thinking that he was just a eunuch, why did he have the right to give orders here?
But now, none of them spoke... and they couldn't help but follow his words.
In particular, Lu Yun's verse of a poem changed the atmosphere a lot.
The words "We will not return until the enemy is defeated" made many soldiers excited.
The deputy general of the Huben Army, Xu Sanwa, finally realized that this eunuch was no ordinary person. It seemed that this eunuch Lu might really have some strength.
I am convinced!
From his passionate words just now, we can tell that he is definitely not taking leading troops to fight a war lightly. Just like a general, he is very cautious every time he goes to an expedition.
"Okay! Invite the troops! Invite the generals!"
“…”
After about an hour, Lu Yun selected the generals and then led his troops south.
This time the momentum is very huge, and many people are looking forward to it. Can Eunuch Lu lead their army to win this battle?
After all, it was the first time that a eunuch was sent as the commander-in-chief of an expedition, which was somewhat unbelievable.
The Han Empire.
Weiyang Palace.
In the majestic and solemn hall, a man in a bright red dragon robe was lying lazily on the dragon bed.
This hall is so grand and magnificent, yet it seems extremely empty.
At this time, a eunuch came forward leisurely and replied, "Your Majesty, there is news. The Zhou Kingdom has begun to suppress the rebellion in the four southeastern provinces and has embarked on the agenda."
"Oh? Who is the commander?"
"It's a eunuch named Lu Yun."
The man glanced at him coldly, a slight arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said disdainfully, "This Great Zhou is really powerful, sending a eunuch to be the chief general."
"Don't worry about them. How's the Barbarian King doing?"
…
When the army broke camp, Lu Yun also successfully saw thirteen shadow guards in his tent, who were the guards sent by the emperor.
Among them, the leader was a handsome young man with a big knife in his hand and a sword-like face.
"Hello, Eunuch Lu. I am Shadow Guard Thirteen. We have met before."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Yun reacted on the spot. He didn't expect that he was so young!
I only remember that when they met before, Thirteen was always wearing a black robe, so it was normal that I didn't recognize him.
He nodded and asked, "Thirteen, what is your name in this military camp?"
Shadow Guard Thirteen explained, "Eunuch Lu, just call me Zhao Cheng."
Lu Yun actually had something he had always wanted to ask Shadow Guard Thirteen, but he was too embarrassed to ask when the emperor was around.
Now that he is his own bodyguard, he can ask him at any time.
"Zhao Cheng, let me ask, are you a martial arts master?"
"I heard that there are many martial artists in this world who are extremely powerful."
"It feels like they can fly over rooftops and walls, and use that legendary true qi."
"Is that so?"
Zhao Cheng nodded, "Yes, I am indeed a martial arts master."
Hearing this, Lu Yun suddenly realized and asked excitedly.
"So what exactly are you an expert at?"
Zhao Cheng answered without hesitation, "My lord, I am a ninth-rank master."
"oh?"
Lu Yun was quite surprised. What did ninth-grade master mean?
"Is this ninth-rank master very powerful?"
"It's not bad, Eunuch Lu. You may not know that among us martial arts masters, the first-rank master is the weakest, the ninth-rank master is the strongest, and above that is the martial arts grandmaster."
"Grandmasters are still rare in this world. It can be said that the existence of these people can often change many things."
"There is also a Grand Master among our Shadow Guards, but he has always been protecting Your Majesty. He is a master of the Imperial Palace of our Great Zhou and the leader of our Shadow Guards. His name is Shadow Guard One."
"No one has ever seen his specific appearance or name. Perhaps only His Majesty knows about it. After all, our Shadow Guards have always been a force that is kept secret."
"So very few people in the court knew about this."
At this moment, Lu Yun suddenly realized that he was quite lucky. He had met the Shadow Guard on the first day and was able to gain the Empress's complete trust in him.
"Eunuch Lu, I think you should be more careful."
"I'm sure we'll encounter many martial arts masters along the way. Your strength is questionable, considering you're just an ordinary person."
"Hmm..." Lu Yun said weakly, and then asked curiously.
"Um... Zhao Cheng, could you please give me the Qi secret manual you learned? I also want to study hard and become a true martial arts master.
That way you won't have to worry about anything. I can protect myself, right?"
Zhao Cheng was stunned for a moment, sighed, and said helplessly, "Eunuch Lu, it's not that we are stingy or don't want to give it to you, but because our Shadow Guard's skills cannot be given to anyone casually."
"This requires the approval of our leader. Only he can teach you the secret method."
Lu Yun's originally excited mood suddenly wilted. What?
I also thought that I could become a martial arts master. Since I was a child, I have always hoped that I could become a great hero, able to climb walls and do anything.
Coming to this strange world, I finally came into contact with these things...
But he was also excited when he thought about it. If he could really become a master, would it be like in the movies he watched? You ask me what the Western Factory is... With a click, the table broke directly.
Just thinking about that scene made him excited.
In this way, the army marched at a constant speed according to the route they had planned in advance.
During this period, Shangguan Yan would come to look for him from time to time.
After all, the relationship between the two of them was relatively good, and they were of the same age, so they could talk to each other. He didn't want to stay with those old men, who were all so conservative.
However, because Lu Yun was calling out orders on the training ground, these generals all obeyed seriously and managed their soldiers well. After all, this was a bet they had made before.
As soldiers, they will not easily betray their promises. This is their bottom line.
The army advanced, and after about five days, they were only a hundred miles away from Taizhou, the first stop for suppressing the rebellion in the four southeastern provinces.
Lu Yun took a look and decided to stop. "Pass on my order. The army will rest for a day and set up camp here."
"Also, have all the generals above the rank of captain come to me and have a good discussion about how to attack Taizhou next and analyze the situation."
"yes!"
