Military camp outside Yudu

The King of Chu took the emperor's secret order to go to Qu Chu's military camp.

Qu Chu had a total of 300,000 troops in his hands, stationed in the north and west respectively. This time, the 100,000 troops followed her back to Yudu.

Because the Wolf Kingdom was severely damaged this time, it was impossible to launch a large-scale war within a few years, so the 100,000 troops were first placed in the suburbs of Beijing, protecting the safety of Yudu while serving as a reserve army.

After the news that Qu Chu was given the marriage to the princess of Chu spread, several memorials were immediately delivered to the emperor's desk. They were all recommended by the general.

The emperor didn't have to read the memorial to know that the candidates they recommended were not suitable.

Nowadays, there are few generals who can go to the battlefield in the Dayu Kingdom, especially those who are always victorious, such as Qu Chu, who are rare. But those important officials will not consider so much, they will only arrange their own people.

In fact, the King of Chu is not a suitable candidate for the general. The emperor just let him become a general on the surface, and Qu Chu is behind him.

The army is different from the court. It cannot be a letter of appointment that can make soldiers obey orders.

...

King Ning Youbei of Chu stood on the platform, looking at the solemn and uniform soldiers below, and the killing aura that rushed towards him, he couldn't help but feel a little heroic.

This is the real army of the Dayu Kingdom!

This is what the army should look like!

Instead of being as scattered and dragged like the imperial guards in the palace and the city defense troops in Yudu, bullying the market.

But such an army was trained by a woman.

...

Wang Liangcong was originally Qu Chu's deputy general, and was the candidate who recommended to the emperor to assist the King of Chu in charge of the army. He followed the King of Chu and read out the emperor's imperial edict:

From today on, the King of Chu will take over as the general and replace General Qu to take charge of the 100,000 army.

The news that the general is a woman has spread, and the soldiers have no other ideas, but they are a little afraid of who will take over the position of the general. Although the person who takes over the position of the general doesn't look like the general, he is at least the general's husband, and he is half of his own.

Furthermore, General Wang and General Wu's military positions have not changed, and even Mr. Fan, who is in charge of the military finance, has not replaced them, which has calmed down a little.

...

After reviewing the army, the King of Chu summoned the generals to hold the first meeting.

Wang Liangcong and Wu Dagang sat upright and majestic, but they didn't say a word.

The King of Chu choked: It seems that they don’t welcome him!

But they are not a big deal.

They have experienced life and death, and the general who has been with him for many years has suddenly changed. No one can accept it!

The King of Chu cleared his throat:

"I just want to tell you today that I am not familiar with the army, nor do I think about taking over the military power. What happened to you before and what will happen to you in the future.

If there is something that cannot be decided, you can go to the Chu Palace to find me or the princess in the future."

After hearing what the King of Chu said, Wu Dagang looked at him: "I am a rough man, and I don't understand the great truth. But my life was saved by the general, so I handed over my life to the general."

In Wu Dagang and others' hearts, there is only one general: that is Qu Chu!

Therefore, in the military camp, they never called Qu Chu, but "General". They only called him "General XX" with their surnames.

Wang Liang coughed.

Wu Dagang glared at him: I'm telling the truth. Unlike you, I think so in my heart but don't say it out loud. Hypocrisy!

Ning Youbei was not angry.

Logically speaking, the army belongs to the emperor, and the person they should respect the most is the emperor's brother, not Qu Chu, but Ning Youbei is not naive.

The emperor sat on the tall dragon throne and could not see these generals once a year, but Qu Chu stayed with them every day.

Eat together, drink together, train together, formulate strategies together, go into battle to kill enemies together, and save their lives...

These friendships cannot be explained clearly in one sentence or two sentences, nor can they be erased by an imperial edict. Only they themselves know all of them.

...

After the King of Chu successfully took over the army, the emperor made the news public during the court meeting.

Prime Minister Fang Lingru winked, and Minister of War Du Haiping stepped forward to report.

"Your Majesty: The King of Chu does not understand martial arts, is average in cavalry and shooting skills, and has never brought any troops. It is really not suitable for being a general."

The emperor remained silent: "Who is suitable to take over as the general, according to what I said?"

"Weichen recommends General Huwei Lu Pingxuan. He has been in the military camp for more than ten years and has rich experience in leading troops. He is the best candidate to take over as the general."

King Ning Youbei of Chu looked at Du Haiping with his eyes slanted, and sneered coldly: "Can Lu Pingxuan be stronger than me?"

"If I remember correctly, he was punished as General Huwei because of embezzling military pay three years ago? If the Prime Minister hadn't pleaded for him as a mercy, he would have been afraid that he would have lost his official position.

Now that he is still under observation, he is only a fifth-rank official position, so Lord Du wants to promote him to a first-rank general. What is the reason?

If the court is like Lord Du, what laws can be described?"

Due to the run of the King of Chu, Du Haiping could only stop the battle.

Du Haiping retreated, and Duan Huanian, the Minister of Rites, left the list.

"Report to Your Majesty: I also believe that the King of Chu does not understand martial arts and is not good at riding and shooting, and is not suitable for serving as the general. I recommend that the Admiral of Yudu, Chang Weijun, take over as the general.

Admiral Chang was once the top scholar in the martial arts, with great martial arts skills and excellent cavalry. Now he is a second-rank official, so it is reasonable to be promoted to a first-rank general."

This Chang Wei is the son-in-law of Duke Wei.

The emperor looked at the people below coldly, and everyone formed cliques and had their own thoughts. His empress was the eldest daughter of Duke Wei, and his imperial concubine was the second daughter of Prime Minister Fang.

...

There is a reason why Emperor Ning Youyu trusted the King of Chu like this.

When King Ning Youbei of Chu was over one year old, their mother was killed.

Ning Youyu and his mother had a deep relationship. Before his death, his mother told him to protect Ning Youbei and grow up, and he solemnly agreed.

At that time, Ning Youyu, who was less than 14 years old, wanted to protect his younger brother from being killed, and also had to intrigue with other princes to fight for power and profit.

In the process of fighting for power and profit, the King of Chu blocked many poisonous killings and assassinations for him... When the King of Chu grew up, he took the initiative to block an arrow and a flying knife for him.

If it weren't for him, the King of Chu wouldn't have grown up, and if it weren't for the King of Chu, he would have died long ago.

When the two of them grew up with each other, their relationship was naturally not comparable to others. Even the emperor did not have such deep feelings for their biological sons.

...

King Ning Youbei of Chu looked at Duan Huanian with disdain again:

"You are so embarrassed to mention Chang Weijun. Look at what he has brought the city defense force of Yudu? They are all powerless and only know how to bully the people.
