For Zhao Hua, handling government affairs is not his strong point.
Being able to maneuver on the battlefield and at the negotiation table is Zhao Hua's strength!
When Zhao Hua entered Yue alone, he single-handedly stirred up turmoil in all parts of the country, allowing Chu to take advantage of it and engulf the country and expand its territory thousands of miles away.
What a stirring talent is this?
Now I have to follow Xiong Wuliang to make suggestions, leave the heavy slips, and return to my old profession...
Of course Zhao Hua was overjoyed!
…
Siyi thoughtfully put on a set of bronze armor for Xiong Wuliang.
This set of armor looks mottled and old, but the carvings are very luxurious.
It was the set of ancestral armor that Zhaoju lost to Xiong Wuliang together with the bronze chariot.
This was Xiong Wuliang's first time wearing armor, and he couldn't help but move his joints back and forth in a novel way.
It feels surprisingly light.
Xiong Wuliang praised: "It is indeed a good set of armor. Zhao Ju's family background is quite strong!"
Xiaoyi pursed her lips and smiled, then tied the last few ties for Xiong Wuliang.
In terms of protection alone, this set of ancient bronze armor is naturally inferior to the fine iron armor that is standard in the fiefdom.
But those fine iron armors were too heavy.
With Xiong Wuliang's arms and legs, if he wore those fine iron armors, he probably wouldn't be able to run.
This set of ancient bronze armor is high-end and classy, and while it has protective capabilities, it does not delay Xiong Wuliang's escape!
I would like to thank Lord Ling Yin for your generous sponsorship...
Siyi's eyes were filled with stars, and she was full of praise: "Young Master looks really cool when he puts on the armor..."
Xiong Wuliang chuckled: "What time is it now?"
"Go back to the Young Master - there is still one hour left before the Shaohu Army sets off."
Xiong Wuliang grinned...
"Ah, Master...what are you doing, oh..."
"...After taking off this armor, it will be difficult to put it on again!"
…
Xiong Wuliang led his 1,500 Shaohu troops and headed straight to Xiapi.
Xiapi is an important town in the eastern part of Chu State. Once a war breaks out between Qi and Chu, Xiapi will be a key point for transportation of goods and services.
Zilan's 60,000-strong army is currently stationed outside Xiapi City.
The camps were lined up day after day, and yellow Chu flags were planted all over the camps.
The fifteen hundred fully armored soldiers behind Xiong Wuliang were naturally eye-catching. Arriving in front of the camp, Shaohu waved his hand and signaled the sergeants to stop.
Xiong Wuliang, Shao Hu and Zhao Hua arrived at the camp gate in a car. Xiong Wuliang took out the bronze seal of Qu Yangjun and handed it to the general guarding the gate——
"Quyang Jun Mi Liang and his subordinates have come to report on the king's orders."
The general guarding the gate was wearing iron armor, his beard was raised high, and he looked suspicious: "Qu Yangjun?"
"Give me Kangkang..." The man took the bronze seal, played with it repeatedly for a while, and then threw it to Xiong Wuliang: "I have never seen this bronze seal before, you guys just wait here!"
Xiong Wuliang was caught off guard and failed to catch the copper seal that was thrown back. He watched the small and delicate copper seal fall to the ground.
Xiong Wuliang's face suddenly turned gloomy.
"May I have your name?"
The gatekeeper general's eyes squinted: "Is this general's name something that other people can hear?"
"But it doesn't hurt to tell you - this general is Gongzi Lan's trusted general, and so is Liang Ming!"
"Don't say that this general is embarrassing you - I really have never seen what Qu Yangjun's seal looks like. Before confirming your identity, I can only have you wait at the door..."
Xiong Wuliang narrowed his eyes slightly.
Liang Ming said he wanted to prove his identity first, but he had no intention of reporting it.
Besides, do I still need to prove my identity? There is no other bronze chariot in the entire Chu Kingdom that can be found on this bronze chariot that I am sitting on!
This Liang Ming deliberately made things difficult, and it was clearly Zi Lan who had secretly instructed him, wanting to give him, the "Qu Yuan Party", a blow.
Xiong Wuliang's tone was gentle: "Pick up my seal..."
Hearing Xiong Wuliang's tone, Shaohu was subconsciously excited.
Zhao Hua glanced at Xiong Wuliang and couldn't help but look at Liang Ming with pity——
It has been a while since I came to the fiefdom, and Zhao Hua had heard Zhong Hua and Shao Hu talk about some signs of Xiong Wuliang.
Despite the gentle tone of this young master, it just means that he is about to explode!
But this Liang Ming still didn't know whether to live or die: "Huh? What did you say? I didn't hear clearly just now, the general."
Xiong Wuliang's tone was gentler: "This is the seal of the emperor. Do not insult it - pick it up and return it to me."
Liang Ming laughed, as if he heard some joke.
"It is true that the seal of the Lord cannot be insulted lightly, but -"
"You said you were a feudal lord, so you are a lord?"
"I also said I was the king! Do you believe it?"
"Stop making noise at the camp gate, otherwise I will arrest you all and punish you as spies!"
Liang Ming looked down at the bronze seal of Lord Quyang stained with soil again, and grinned——
"What kind of seal? I think it's just a piece of broken copper."
"It's an insult, so what can I do?"
After saying that, Liang Ming actually raised his leg to step on the copper seal on the ground!
Zhao Hua was shocked and looked at Xiong Wuliang...
"Shaohu!" Xiong Wuliang shouted!
Shaohu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stepped forward and whipped Liang Ming to the ground with a powerful whip kick!
Then Shaohu quickly pulled out the iron sword from his waist and cut off both of Liang Ming's hand tendons cleanly!
Liang Ming's eyes widened in disbelief, and after two breaths, he realized and screamed.
As a military commander, if Tetsuji is picked, he is no different from a useless person!
"I came here under the king's order and showed my seal according to the rules - you are making things difficult here. Are you disobeying the king's order and not wanting me to enter the camp?"
Xiong Wuliang smiled coldly again: "Let Zilan come out to see me, otherwise I will turn around and leave."
Liang Ming endured the severe pain in his hand and glanced at Xiong Wuliang resentfully: "Okay, you have the guts!"
"Don't leave if you can!"
Shaohu went up and kicked him mercilessly: "Why are you still dawdling? Hurry up and report the news!"
…
At this moment, Zilan was sitting in the Chinese army's tent. Looking at the Chu army generals sitting neatly in the tent, she couldn't help but feel a little complacent.
Facts have proved that knowing how to stand in line is the most important thing!
Look at these rough guys on the battlefield, each of them has been fighting for a lifetime, and in terms of merit, everyone is higher than me.
Don’t you have to kneel down in front of a young man like me now?
The last time I took over the leadership position in the Vietnam War, I didn't take over that damn Qu Ping, and now I finally became the commander-in-chief of the army!
Zilan fiddled with a precious pearl on her armor and cloak, feeling very proud.
With the army at hand, this is the achievement that every man dreams of!
An army of 60,000 people only listens to the orders of one person!
Cool!
If the 60,000 Chu army can block the 150,000 Qi army's offensive this time, then he will have made a name for himself!
Not to mention comparing with that loser Qu Ping - even if Sun Wu were reincarnated, he would probably be ashamed in front of his impressive record of defeating more with less.
Just when Zilan was thinking about it, she saw the door of the Chinese army's tent being opened with a swish!
Liang Ming's clothes and armor were stained with blood, and he fell in with a plop, crying loudly in embarrassment——
"Young Master, you must make the decision for your general..."
