As the imperial edict of Emperor Xuan of the Yu Dynasty praising the magic sword spread across the country, the Wu Dynasty also learned of the news.
It was already snowing heavily in Guanyun City. Wen Ruoxi, wearing a white mink fur coat, stood in the snow, staring at the plum tree with buds in it, lost in thought.
Fu Xiaoguan said at the end of March that this army is called the Divine Sword, and its leader is the person I introduced to you, Bai Yulian. You can wait for at most a year. If you don't hear about this army's glorious achievements during this year, just forget about it. But if it's really as I said...
"If he is really that powerful, I will definitely marry him!"
Now the magic sword has been unsheathed, and the man named Bai Yulian led 4,000 magic sword special forces to defeat Gong Shenchang's army of more than 100,000, forcing them to flee in disgrace.
He used only 4,000 men, but he chased the remnants of Gong Shenchang for five days and five nights, and drove all of them into Yueming Valley. In Wen Ruoxi's opinion, this action was no less effective than when he used 4,000 men to capture the top of Beishan Mountain.
Those are people, not sheep!
He had to divide his troops into three groups to ensure that the enemies would escape along his route. In other words, there were no more than 1,300 soldiers in each group.
This guy... is truly a genius in fighting!
Now that the magic sword is famous throughout the world, should I just keep my word?
What kind of person is he?
Wen Ruoxi's face suddenly turned red. Fu Xiaoguan was dead now, and she could completely pretend that this bet did not exist, but she did not think so. She was thinking about the general named Bai Yulian.
That was the man she truly wanted to marry.
I heard that he has led his troops to the Desolate Country... Could it be that he still wants to fight against the Desolate Country's cavalry with a force of less than 4,000?
Will he be in danger?
No, I have to go and see.
I will go to Her Majesty the Queen tomorrow and ask her to lend me the women's army so that I can go to the Desolate Country!
Her Majesty has been ill for over four months now, and I don't know if she is feeling any better. Fortunately, the two ministers are loyal, and the old empress dowager is still in good health.
It's hard for Ling'er, a woman, to shoulder such a big country. I think she is exhausted.
Just when Wen Ruoxi was thinking about Bai Yulian's safety, Wu Linger of Jinghu Villa got the news earlier than her.
But she is the only one in the world who understands the significance of this news:
Fu Xiaoguan returned to Xishan.
Fu Xiaoguan took the magic sword to Pingling Mountain.
Fu Xiaoguan used only 4,000 people to wipe out Gong Shenchang's army of more than 100,000!
And just the night before, Fu Xiaoguan had annihilated 20,000 soldiers of the Desolate People! This news was known to very few people, and the Desolate Country did not publicize it, but the Tianji Pavilion had obtained this information.
Tianji Pavilion also did not know that Fu Xiaoguan was alive, so all the credit was attributed to the general named Bai Yulian.
"Since you've already won, why are you running to the Desolate Country? They want to eat you alive!"
Wu Linger was walking back and forth in the room with her big belly. There were no palace maids beside her, but her two generals on the left and right in the women's army.
Perhaps sensing her emotional fluctuations, the fetus in her belly stretched its waist and kicked her twice.
With a gentle look on her face, she gently stroked her belly and whispered to the fetus in her belly, "Your father is a peerless hero! I will watch over the country for him first. When he has had enough fun, he will naturally come back."
Nishang and Luoying didn't quite understand. Their master had now become the empress, and her scheming seemed to be even deeper than before.
They now understand that there are many things they cannot ask, cannot say, and it is even better not to hear.
They could roughly guess who the father of the fetus in their master's belly was, but that man was already dead. Why would their master say such a thing?
Wu Linger suddenly raised her head, "Nishang, bring a copy of my oral instructions to Tang Qianjun."
"Your Majesty, please speak!"
"Let Tang Qianjun lead 10,000 Blood Robe Guards and set off now to the Desolate Country to protect Bai Yulian and his Divine Sword Army."
Nichang was stunned. Bai Yulian?
Does Your Majesty still know Bai Yulian?
They even sent troops into the border of the Wilderness Country for this person, which is no different from declaring war.
"For a star general of the Yu Dynasty... is it worth it?"
Wu Ling'er was not angry. She smiled faintly and said, "Go ahead. You will know it later."
When he received this oral order, Tang Qianjun was also confused.
"this……"
"That's what your majesty said."
"What if there's a conflict with the Desolate Nation..."
"Are you stupid? Of course we're going to beat them up. There are 10,000 Blood Robe Guards out there. Bai Yulian dared to go deep into the Desolate Country with less than 4,000 divine swords. Are you afraid of that?"
Tang Qianjun licked his lips, but didn't think much of it. Since the order said to depart immediately, they had to organize their troops and set off now.
He really wanted to go back and ask his grandfather what this meant, but it was obvious that His Majesty did not give him the time.
So, an expeditionary force of the Wu Dynasty set out in the wind and snow. The noise was a little loud. Wen Ruoxi heard the news, changed her clothes, put on her long sword that had been put aside for a long time, left a letter for her grandfather, and ran away.
Ten thousand Blood-Clothed Guards left Guanyun City, which naturally could not be concealed from the Tianji Pavilion. Wu Linger did not seem to have any intention of hiding anything, so the news came into the hands of Empress Dowager Xi, delivered by Zhou Tongtong personally.
"Your Majesty's intention..."
Empress Dowager Xi waved her hand, interrupting Zhou Tongtong. "Your Majesty hasn't issued an edict in a long time. This is the last time you've issued one. Let her do as she pleases. I don't think she's aimless."
"Yes... Then I will immediately arrange for the Tianji Pavilion's spies in the Desolate Country to find the whereabouts of the Divine Sword Army so that the Blood Robe Guards can find them as soon as possible."
"Hmm... Tongtong, do you think there's really such a thing as four thousand people defeating over a hundred thousand people in this world? Why do I always find it a bit absurd?"
"Your Majesty, I also find this absurd, but the intelligence from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion also states this. Furthermore, it wasn't four thousand who killed the twenty thousand elite soldiers of the Desolate Nation, but one thousand!"
The old queen sat on the warm bed, her hands folded on her knees, and she was silent for a long time. "Isn't such an army invincible in the world?"
"In my opinion, this army is powerful for three reasons. The first is its unique training methods. I remember that last year, the First Prince wrote a treatise on the principles of warfare during the Yu Dynasty, which the late Emperor also read. This army was originally founded by the First Prince, so I believe it follows his training methods."
"The second is their strict discipline, which truly ensures that orders are carried out. Although this is a basic requirement of the military, not many can truly implement it."
"And thirdly, it's the weapons they're equipped with. The Queen Mother has already seen those firearms. They're produced by the Xishan Firearms Bureau and designed by the Xishan Research Institute. They're extremely powerful and have no weaknesses."
So all this was done by Fu Xiaoguan!
Queen Mother Xi sighed, "What a pity!"
