Chapter 190 Support
Chapter 190 Support
There must be a trick for the Fit army to be able to take over a small country and five cities of the Shuiling Kingdom in such a short time.
In fact, it all depends on this unique tacit understanding. After staying in an army for a long time, there will be some tacit understanding between each other.
It’s usually mostly between generals, but Fate’s army is different. Not to mention the tacit understanding between the generals, there is also a very good tacit understanding between the soldiers.
Because of their extremely close understanding, they can know what the other party is going to do with just a glance on the battlefield, so they are naturally invincible.
"We need to find out why the Fite army is able to achieve such tacit understanding. Otherwise, we might suffer a loss in the future."
When Xuanyuan Hongtai was young, he had fought on the battlefield and was not completely ignorant of military affairs.
Therefore, when he heard about the peculiarities of Fate's army, he immediately thought of what would happen if he faced them.
"Then we have to find a way to sneak into the Fate military camp."
Xuanyuan Xingyao said in a deep voice.
Xuanyuan Xingyao was actually not optimistic about infiltrating the Fate military camp.
Fate wants to expand his territory by relying on the army. How could the secret of the army's strength be known so easily?
Xuanyuan Hongtai also knew that it was not easy to get the answer to why Fate and his partner were so taciturn.
But even if it is not easy, they must give it a try, otherwise they will be too passive in the future.
If you want to sneak into the military camp, you can only rely on the secret guards.
Most of them live in darkness, and no one has seen their true faces, making them the perfect fit for this kind of infiltration work.
Before the secret guards could send back any useful information, the Shuiling Kingdom sent someone to deliver a letter asking for help.
King Shui Ling was very reluctant to ask the Dragon Shadow Empire for help. After all, if you ask others for help, you can't do it without giving anything in return.
But as cities were lost one after another and soldiers died one after another, King Shui Ling could no longer hold on.
Compared to losing all of Shui Ling's territory, paying only some benefits is nothing.
After receiving the letter for help from King Shuiling, Xuanyuan Hongtai immediately called the generals in the court to discuss who to send as a representative to provide support.
"Father, I beg to go into battle."
In the imperial study, Xuanyuan Xingyao knelt on one knee and spoke in a loud voice.
Xuanyuan Hongtai looked at Xuanyuan Xingyao who was kneeling below, and his brows frowned quickly.
"It's just a kingdom's support. It's not enough to let my legitimate son go."
"Father, I want to personally experience the uniqueness of the Fate army."
Xuanyuan Xingyao looked up at Xuanyuan Hongtai, his eyes full of pleading.
Xuanyuan Hongtai looked at Xuanyuan Xingyao and couldn't refuse at all. He could only look at Xuanyuan Leng, hoping that he could persuade Xuanyuan Xingyao.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the battle for the Shuiling Kingdom is not easy to fight.
It is called support, but in fact it is also a contest between the Dragon Shadow Empire and the Fate Kingdom.
It would be fine if they win, but if they lose, it would mean that the Dragon Shadow Empire lost to the Fate Kingdom.
Xuanyuan Hongtai can now imagine what the person who caused all this will have to bear.
Xuanyuan Leng was also very conflicted at this time. He didn't want Xuanyuan Xingyao to go, but Xuanyuan Hongtai couldn't resist Xuanyuan Xingyao's plea, so how could he refuse?
When Xuanyuan Hongtai saw Xuanyuan Leng avoiding his gaze, he really wanted to curse him for being useless.
"Your Majesty, the prince is actually the most suitable person to lead the troops."
An old man with gray hair stood up and spoke to Xuanyuan Hongtai.
When Xuanyuan Hongtai saw the old man stand up, his eyes flickered and his eyes turned unfriendly when he looked at the old man.
Because this old man was none other than Xuanyuan Qing and Xuanyuan Xi’s grandfather.
That is the deceased Wu Ying's father, General Wu.
It was hard for Xuanyuan Hongtai not to think too much when General Wu stood up at this time.
I wonder if General Wu wants to deliberately trick Xuanyuan Xingyao.
After all, if the Shuiling Kingdom is not careful in this war, it will end up being despised by others.
"Oh, why do you say Yao'er is the most suitable person to lead the troops?"
General Wu also felt the hostility in Xuanyuan Hongtai's eyes, but he did not feel guilty, because he really had no selfish motives this time, but Xuanyuan Xingyao was really the most suitable candidate.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the Shuiling Kingdom has many seas and rivers, and the water element is much richer than other places. Although Prince Han Xi is not a water element, he is a water element with an ice element. Others may feel uncomfortable with the water element of the Shuiling Kingdom, but he will take to it like a fish in water."
Xuanyuan Hongtai was a little angry at first, but after listening to General Wu's words, he fell into deep thought.
Most of the generals in the court are of fire or gold attributes, and there are almost no generals of water attributes. It cannot be said that there is no one of water attributes.
Even Xuanyuan Xingyao is the only one who possesses the ice attribute.
Considering the characteristics of the Shuiling Palace, Xuanyuan Xingyao is indeed the most suitable commander.
"Xuanyuan Xingyao, listen to my orders. I now appoint you as the commander-in-chief to support the Shuiling Kingdom. Lead an army of 100,000 to the Shuiling Kingdom to support Shuiling."
Although Xuanyuan Hongtai is reluctant to give up Xuanyuan Xingyao, he has to bear such great pressure.
But Xuanyuan Hongtai is a rational emperor. He will make the most appropriate choice at the most appropriate time.
Xuanyuan Xingyao immediately bowed and accepted the imperial edict as soon as Xuanyuan Hongtai gave the order.
Once the main general is decided, the deputy general becomes easy.
Xuanyuan Hongtai specially selected several veterans with rich combat experience as deputy generals for Xuanyuan Xingyao.
I don’t know if it was intentional, but the veterans selected by Xuanyuan Hongtai have nothing to do with the Wu family and the Yun family, and they are either good friends with Nangong Tao or came from Nangong Tao’s military camp.
After the main general and deputy generals are all present, the next thing to do is to recruit the troops.
To be on the safe side, Xuanyuan Xingyao did not choose the military camps under the jurisdiction of the Wu family and the Yun family, but chose the military camp under the jurisdiction of another general.
Although General Wu spoke for Xuanyuan Xingyao just now, it can be seen that he is not a selfish person.
But just because General Wu has no selfish motives doesn't mean others don't have selfish motives either. Xuanyuan Xingyao really doesn't dare to take the risk.
Because the situation in the Shuiling Kingdom was dangerous, Xuanyuan Xingyao was going to the Shuiling Kingdom the next day.
Until this point, he had not told Nangong Jing about Xuanyuan Xingyao's upcoming expedition.
It was not until Xuanyuan Xingyao returned to the palace that he remembered that he had not told Nangong Jing that he was going to the expedition.
When Xuanyuan Xingyao saw Nangong Jing coming towards him, he began to feel a little guilty.
Although Xuanyuan Xingyao hid it very well, Nangong Jing still saw through his guilty conscience. He subconsciously stopped and looked up and down with some confusion.
"What have you done to offend me? Why do you look so guilty?"
Xuanyuan Xingyao wondered if his emotions were so exposed. He thought he hid them well.
"How could I possibly do anything to let you down? It just happened so suddenly that I forgot to tell you."
Xuanyuan Xingyao's words not only failed to reduce the suspicion in Nangong Jing's eyes, but made it even more intense.
"You also know that Fate attacked Shuiling. Shuiling was no match for Fate, so she sent a letter to Longying for help. Father has already agreed. Tomorrow I will personally lead the troops to Shuiling to provide support."
Nangong Jing had already vaguely guessed something when Xuanyuan Xingyao mentioned the war between Fate and Shui Ling.
What Nangong Jing didn't expect was that Xuanyuan Xingyao was going to go on an expedition tomorrow. This was a bit too sudden.
"Leaving tomorrow, so soon?"
Nangong Jing looked at Xuanyuan Xingyao with some reluctance.
"Shuiling and Fate are currently at war. If we arrive one day later, Shuiling may lose a city or thousands of soldiers."
Xuanyuan Xingyao was also reluctant to leave Nangong Jing. Since they had been together, they had never been separated.
But the situation on Shui Ling's side did not allow for any hesitation, and Xuanyuan Xingyao had no choice at all.
Although Nangong Jing occasionally likes to lose his temper, he has never been a willful person, especially when it comes to these major matters.
Because Xuanyuan Xingyao was about to leave the next day, the atmosphere between the two became a little silent during dinner.
When they went to bed at night, the two of them did not cuddle, but instead fell asleep in each other's arms in a rare and warm embrace.
After getting up the next day, Nangong Jing personally helped Xuanyuan Xingyao put on his armor.
After putting the last cloak on Xuanyuan Xingyao, Nangong Jing could no longer hide the reluctance in his eyes.
"If only I could go with you..."
Nangong Jing looked at Xuanyuan Xingyao's outfit and muttered to himself.
But soon Nangong Jing stopped and thought, yes, why couldn't he go with them?
Although Nangong Jing is quite famous in the imperial capital, he does not hold any official position.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with that. Wu Zhao must abide by the rules that he cannot leave the imperial capital at will.
In fact, if you really think about it, Nangong Jing is now an unemployed vagrant and he can go wherever he wants.
The more Nangong Jing thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.
Xuanyuan Xingyao originally thought that Nangong Jing was just joking with him.
But when he saw Nangong Jing's eyes getting brighter and brighter, Xuanyuan Xingyao could no longer smile.
"Are you serious?"
Nangong Jing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
"Why can't I come? Really? I don't have an official position, so I can go anywhere I want. My cultivation is not weak either, so I won't hold you back if I go to the battlefield. No one can predict what will happen on the battlefield. What if this war won't end for years? Do you want to be separated from me for a few years? "
How could Xuanyuan Xingyao possibly think that he wouldn't see Nangong Jing for several years?
But Xuanyuan Xingyao didn't want Nangong Jing to go to the battlefield with him. What if he got injured?
Nangong Jing saw through Xuanyuan Xingyao's thoughts at a glance, and immediately put away the smile on his face, and spoke seriously and earnestly.
"I'm a man, and a summoner, not a canary. Although I'm at the bottom between the two of us, it doesn't mean I'm truly a woman."
Nangong Jing knew that Xuanyuan Xingyao was sometimes a bit chauvinistic, but he loved him, so he was willing to tolerate him.
But that doesn't mean Nangong Jing is willing to let Xuanyuan Xingyao protect him as a woman, even though Nangong Jing understands that Xuanyuan Xingyao only loves him too much.
When Xuanyuan Xingyao saw that Nangong Jing was really angry, he dared not object.
As God knows, he was just worried that Nangong Jing would get hurt, and he really had no intention of treating him as a woman.
No matter what, Nangong Jing finally set off with Xuanyuan Xingyao.
At first, several deputy generals thought that Nangong Jing was going to send Xuanyuan Xingyao away.
But when the team was hundreds of kilometers away from the imperial capital, Nangong Jing still had no intention of returning, and they realized the trick.
