The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

Chapter 379 Arriving at the Border, the Generals Are Displeased

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or if Yin Xue was really smart, but he nodded his big head a few times, as if acknowledging the fact that he had become the Wolf King.

"Oh my god! Really?" Xia Younan exclaimed excitedly, hugged Yin Xue's neck, and sighed happily, "I knew that a tiger father will have a dog son. Your father was the wolf king, so how could his cub be bad? Yin Xue, you are amazing, I am so relieved!"

"That's amazing." Zen En also exclaimed.

Xia Younan stayed with Yin Xue for a while and told it that he was going to the border and would not be able to come to see it for a long time.

Yin Xue seemed to understand what she said. He lowered his head and leaned against her shoulder, looking reluctant to leave.

As it was getting dark, Xia Younan said goodbye to Yin Xue and took Chan En towards Longtou Village.

Yin Xue howled, and stood there with the wolves, staring at her back, without leaving for a long time.

After a night's rest, everyone set out on their journey again early the next morning. In addition, some gray figures in the forest also followed them quietly.

After coming down the mountain and reaching the main road, the small group led by Xia Younan was blocked by two people.

When I looked closely, I realized that they were Shen Luofan and Hong Wu from the capital.

Shen Luofan is self-motivated. After daily hard training, his legs have completely recovered and he no longer needs a wheelchair or crutches.

Two people were standing there with their bags on their backs, obviously waiting for them.

Xia Younan hurriedly dismounted and stepped forward, asking the two people in confusion, "Mr. Shen, Miss Hongwu? Why are you here?"

Shen Luofan explained, "A few days ago, I went to the palace to look for you for something, and I found out that you were leading your men to the border, so I brought Hongwu to chase you."

"Uh... so the reason you guys are following me is..."

“We also want to go to the border.”

"Ah? Why?" Xia Younan asked in surprise.

Shen Luofan smiled and replied: "Don't you think that your small unit is short of a military doctor?"

"This..." Xia Younan looked back at the person behind him and scratched his head in frustration.

Indeed, the road is dangerous and getting injured on the battlefield is common, so you should always carry a military doctor with you.

"We are short of a military doctor, but Luo Fan, you are doing well in the capital, why do you want to follow us to the border? The border is very dangerous."

Shen Luofan looked at her in silence for a few seconds, and answered half-truthfully: "Because your husband, my savior, is at the border. Now that my leg is healed, it's time to do something for him."

Xia Younan was very moved when he heard him say that. Seeing that the two men had packed their luggage, he stopped trying to stop them and turned around to shout loudly to his small troops.

"Brothers, come and meet our accompanying military doctor!"

On the other hand, Lu Xiuyuan finally arrived at the border after a long journey. Logically, the court should have informed Tang Guojing long ago, but on the day they arrived at the battlefield, none of Tang Guojing and the soldiers of the three armies came out to greet them.

Even if they entered the camp, the patrolling soldiers turned a blind eye and ignored them.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Tang Guojing wants to give you a warning!" Su Yu looked at the cold expressions of the soldiers around him and said with a wry smile.

Lu Xiuyuan snorted indifferently, "I know that Tang Guojing has always been proud of his achievements. Now that he wants to give up the position of marshal to me, he must be angry. How can he entertain me well?"

"It would be fine if he were alone, but these soldiers from the three armies have followed him through life and death for many years and have become one with him. I'm afraid they will be difficult to manage." Chen Yi also echoed.

Lu Xiuyuan frowned and said, "This is inevitable. I have never been on the battlefield, so it is normal for the soldiers to be dissatisfied. If you want to win the hearts of the army, you still have to speak with strength."

As they were talking, Lu Xiuyuan had already arrived at Tang Guojing's tent. The soldiers guarding outside the tent glanced at them and then said nothing more.

"The prince has arrived! Why don't you kneel down and pay homage?" Su Yu glared at them angrily and scolded them.

Without waiting for the two soldiers to answer, Lu Xiuyuan raised his hand to stop him and said with a smile: "After leaving the capital, we don't need to pay attention to these red tape. The soldiers of the three armies will see me as if they were seeing a comrade-in-arms. There is no need to bow and salute."

The two soldiers looked at him for a moment longer after hearing what he said, and said nothing more.

Lu Xiuyuan opened the curtain and entered the tent, and saw Tang Guojing sitting lazily in the main seat, drinking happily from a wine glass in his hand.

He still looked the same, with a rugged figure wearing a suit of armor, his dark skin had long been eroded by wind and sand, his pores were big enough to plant rice seedlings, and a circle of dark blue beard spread around his mouth, making him look a little sloppy.

Seeing Lu Xiuyuan coming in, he didn't move at all, just glanced at him sideways, sneered with the corner of his mouth, and his face was full of contempt.

It's ridiculous that a delicate and fair-skinned scholar is going to take over his position as marshal!

In addition to him, there were six generals in armor sitting below the main seat in the tent. Their reactions were almost exactly the same as Tang Guojing's, except that the word "contempt" was written on their faces.

"General Tang, the prince has arrived. Isn't it not good for you to drink here instead of going to welcome him?" Su Yu couldn't help but blame Tang Guojing.

Tang Guojing looked at him and replied with a fake smile: "Didn't the prince just say that? There is no need to pay attention to red tape at the border. There is no need to kneel and kowtow."

"You!" Su Yu was furious.

Lu Xiuyuan looked at him and signaled him to be patient, then he winked at Chen Yi, who immediately understood and took out the imperial edict from his sleeve and held it high.

"The imperial edict has arrived. Tang Guojing, please accept it."

Tang Guojing frowned, and felt a little afraid when looking at the bright yellow imperial edict. He had to stand up reluctantly and kneel down. The other soldiers in the room also stood up hurriedly and followed suit.

Chen Yi unfolded the imperial edict and read aloud: "Tang Guojing has guarded the border for many years and has made great contributions. I consider that he is too old to bear the fatigue, so I pardon him and let him retire to the second line. I will hand over the position of marshal and the seal to Prince Yu Nan, who can assist and guide me by my side.

"From now on, the soldiers at the border will obey the orders of Prince Yu Nan. If there are any objections, they will be dealt with by military law!"

After reading the imperial edict, Tang Guojing's fists clenched until they made a creaking sound, the veins on his forehead stood out, and his eyes were filled with hatred as if boiling magma had dripped into them.

Deceiving too much!

He held military power for decades and fought in countless battles, big and small. Even if he had no merits as a general, he had worked hard.

Lu Shian, the tyrant, actually wanted to take away his military power for no reason! He also gave the military power to Lu Xiuyuan, a brat who was still wet behind the ears. It was too absurd. He refused to accept it!

"General Tang, please accept the order. The prince is still waiting to receive the seal of command." Chen Yi urged with relief.

"Why?!" Before Tang Guojing could ask, the soldiers kneeling beside him became angry.

They followed Tang Guojing through life and death, and they had a life-and-death friendship! Even an imperial decree could not change this belief.

They have already acknowledged their master. In their eyes, Lu Xiuyuan's arrival is to snatch the position of their eldest brother. How could anyone accept this?

"Our general has led the army for more than 20 years and has made great achievements in battle. Why did the emperor take away his position for no reason?"

"Your Majesty is in a high position and has great power, but you have never even been to the border. How can you command the three armies?"

"Changing commanders before a battle is a taboo in military strategy. Isn't Your Majesty too foolish?"

"We have followed General Tang for many years, and we follow his lead. As for the imperial decree, a general will not obey the emperor's orders when he is away from home. You can kill or chop me up at your will."

Several generals knelt on the ground in indignation, their faces flushed with anger, and they were completely dissatisfied with Lu Shian's decision.
