Upon hearing this, Ye Qinghan was even more bewildered!
What does that mean?
"Does Master mean that this battle report is fake?"
Su Cheng smiled again and shook his head.
"No, the battle report is fine, but Qinghan, you might want to consider this: if Ye He really wanted to withdraw her troops, would she discuss it with me?"
"Uh... this..."
Although Ye Qinghan felt that he understood a little bit, he did not fully understand.
I picked up the battle report again and read it over...
Master is right. Given the temperaments of these kings of gods, most of them are the type to act first and ask for permission later!
The battlefield is ever-changing. If we had to wait for our master's instructions for everything, what would become of us?
Ye He must be quite capable to have risen to the position of commander of the Wang army!
But if that's the case, then why go through all that trouble?
"Could it be that General Ye He has already withdrawn his troops?"
Su Cheng shook his head again; Ye Qinghan had clearly guessed wrong once more!
"How could that be? If they were retreating, they wouldn't be speaking in this tone!"
"If hundreds of thousands of troops are defeated so easily, then her reign as the commander of the royal army is truly over!"
Ye Qinghan was confused. What did this mean?
"Is it that General Ye He's old injury has really flared up?"
"Her? She doesn't have any old injuries. She asks me for medical expenses even for a scrape. If she were really injured, would I not know?"
Ye Qinghan was completely dumbfounded!
"Uh... I really don't know, what are Master and Lady Gu Ai laughing about?"
"That's all the battle report says, nothing else, right?"
Su Cheng gave a wry smile.
"Qinghan, can't you see the food supplies are running low? Your master, the general, is short of money!"
"ah?"
If you look at it this way...
Well......
That is:
Hey old man, I've been guarding Linlangchuan for so many years. Even if I haven't done anything great, I've certainly put in a lot of hard work, right?
Damn it, I'm here eating and sleeping in the open, and you're partying every night?
Do you think I care about this commander-in-chief position?
We have no manpower, no money, and yet you expect me to win a battle?
If you're not going to pay me, you might as well find someone to fight for you!
Look at me, who else can work for you here quietly and anonymously like me!
If you find the person, remember to let me know. I absolutely have to stand on the city gate tower and see which bastard it is!
Linlangchuan Frontline - Wang Jun's Military Headquarters
——Ye He
At this moment, Ye Qinghan truly understood; language and literature were indeed...
"So, Lady Ye He means that if Master doesn't provide money and supplies, she will withdraw her troops?"
Su Cheng smiled and said, "How could we possibly retreat?"
"I still have to rely on her! She knows it, and I know it too."
"Without me, who will she ask for money from? If I don't give it to her, she won't withdraw her troops, but she'll definitely come looking for trouble in a couple of days..."
Ye Qinghan recalled the first time he saw Ye He; Ye He was lying on Su Cheng's desk...
"Qinghan has learned a lot..."
Ye Qinghan thought to himself, "Is this the art of controlling people?"
Why does it feel different from what's described in the book?
Xiao Ai just smiled and stood there without saying a word. All she did all morning was occasionally refill Su Cheng's teacup with water, and then she would sit by the door, resting her chin on her hand and looking at the scenery.
Uh... is this what a personal attendant does?
Xiao Ai was very quiet, and Ye Qinghan even suspected that she had fallen asleep. The sparrows, which were usually timid and alert, lined up next to her, and one even stood on her head.
Xiao Ai didn't say a word all morning, and Su Cheng didn't call her either.
It wasn't until the afternoon that she heard Su Cheng call her: "Xiao Ai".
Xiao Ai slowly stood up, straightened the sword at her waist, and then walked into Su Cheng's office.
Ye Qinghan could clearly sense a change in Xiao Ai's aura, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what exactly was different.
"Take a look at this."
As he spoke, Su Cheng tossed a document in front of Xiao Ai, but Xiao Ai knew what it was about just by looking at the cover.
"Her Highness has already made arrangements to prevent a mutiny..."
Before Xiao Ai could finish speaking, Su Cheng slammed his hand on the table, nearly scaring Ye Qinghan to death!
Ye Qinghan has been a disciple for so long, but he has rarely seen Su Cheng so angry!
"Of course I know! That idiot Su Lin! He can't even see that they're in cahoots. If we send the 76th Army, wouldn't that be exactly what they want?"
"What will happen when the two armies meet?"
"Pass on my order: immediately withdraw the 76th Army! Those are three air superiority heavy artillery divisions! How can we just hand them over to him for nothing!"
"My lord, please calm down. Xiao Ai has already ordered people to handle it. Xiao Ai has transferred General Qing Cang to Qinglong Pass for troop rotation, and the Fourteenth Army has also been urgently withdrawn. They should be on their way by now. My lord, there is no need to worry."
"That's not enough. We also need to notify Yu Yan and Ye He. Head north along Qingbao County and trap them in Zuiyue City!"
"Don't let any word get out of the inner city. Keep a close eye on everyone involved. Once there's any news from Zuiyue City, arrest them all!"
Xiao Ai smiled helplessly and bowed.
"Yes, I will obey your will, my beloved Lord."
Su Cheng narrowed his eyes, his clenched fists trembling uncontrollably. A murderous intent filled the room, which was eerily quiet.
"Kill them all, leave no one alive, and kill everyone who is involved."
