Chapter V: The Blessed One
Northern Expedition City!
After processing a batch of battle reports for the Great Marshal of the Northern Expedition, the Great Yuan Emperor took a short break, took a cup of tea, and stood on the sand table again, watching the changes in troop strength on the sand table.
"What's the matter with Chang Ming?" The commander looked at the twelve cities of Dahan.
"According to the report, General Chang should go straight to Chaoge City!" A subordinate said respectfully.
"Oh? Go straight to Chaoge City? Do you want to do it once and for all?" The commander smiled slightly.
The subordinate on the side frowned and said: "Marshal, I don't know if I should say something or not, but I just kept it in my heart like a bone in my throat, some...!"
"Say it!" The handsome said lightly.
"Then Chang Ming, we have been in contact for a while, and he is the only one who can still lead troops? We have played a few times, and what did he say? If he insists on his own way, he is simply commanding blindly. Such a person leading troops will only lead the army to destruction. Why did the commander appoint him as the commander of the Eighth Army? Five hundred thousand soldiers were handed over to him, but..., the humble job is dissatisfied. How can a person like him harm the army? Just because he is a Chang family?" The subordinate said angrily.
The commander in chief smiled slightly, and shook his head: "I am self-righteous, self-willed, self-righteous, and think I am very powerful? Oh, I know it too!"
"Eh? Then why is the handsome...?"
The marshal took a sip of tea, shook his head, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You look at Chang Ming, it seems that your ideas are unrealistic, you don't have much ability, you think you are very powerful, but you are really an idiot? Oh, this is because you are wrong!"
"Oh?" The subordinate showed a hint of surprise.
"If he is worthless, would the Chang family value him so much? The youngest son of the Patriarch, who is not a son-in-law, why does he seem to have a higher status in the Chang family than all his elder brothers? Are those old monsters in the Chang family all idiots?" The marshal chuckled lightly.
"Eh? I don't know about the lowly position, please tell the commander-in-chief!" The subordinate showed a trace of astonishment.
"He's an idiot, so we can't blame him, because everything went so smoothly for him!" The marshal frowned.
"What's the meaning?"
"This Chang Ming was born evil. As if blessed by the heavens, his luck has always been so good that everything he does goes smoothly, very smoothly. As far as everything that depends on luck, he has never met an opponent. If he goes on an outing, he can find a treasure. If he falls into the valley, he can find a peerless cheat book. Even if he encounters a situation where he must die, he can overcome the difficulty with the smallest loss!" The marshal frowned.
"Eh? How could there be such a person? Luck?" the subordinate asked in a daze.
The commander narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Yes, luck, luck is also a kind of strength. But Chang Ming is very lucky from the evil sect, and because of his good luck, everything he does is smooth and smooth, so that everyone is jealous, so it is so smooth, and many times, he does not need to use his brain. Haha, in this way, in your opinion, many of his thoughts are like straws, but to him, so what? Foresight is better!"
The subordinate: ".........!"
"This kind of person belongs to the "Heaven's Families", and any family that produces such a person will regard it as a treasure. Why didn't anyone else join the Chang family in this Northern Expedition? It was because of Chang Ming that the Chang family gave all the opportunities that could bring military merit to Chang Ming, just to protect him. The entire Chang family did not participate in this battle. Do you think it is a waste to give Chang Ming the position of commander of the Eighth Army?" The commander laughed.
The subordinate was silent for a while.
"Then, can he take those twelve cities?" The subordinate frowned.
The commander shook his head and said, "Originally, the Twelve Cities were already surrounded by us, so I wasn't in a hurry, and everything was taken slowly. However, Gu Hai destroyed Lu Yang, so he had to do it in advance. Otherwise, if he completely controlled the Twelve Cities, he would have to pay a huge price if he took them at that time. Besides, Mr. Mo sent a message, repeatedly mentioning that Gu Hai must be careful. A person who even Mr. Mo must be careful, do you think it is so easy to deal with?"
"Well?"
"It's good for Chang Ming to go. He is very lucky. If he can deal with Gu Hai, that would be great. If it is a fatal situation, Chang Ming's luck can also make him retreat. Besides, Chang Ming himself asked for the battle this time. Let's wait for the result!" the commander said in a deep voice.
"yes!"

Zhennancheng! Shenwu King's study room.
King Shenwu sat behind the desk, with a group of counselors standing in front of him.
Holding a battle report in his hand, King Shenwu narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's Gao Xianzhi again?"
Sima Changkong said bitterly: "That's right, the city of the Great Ying Dynasty has been divided equally between us and the Great Yuan Dynasty, and a group of army commanders have also started contact with the Great Yuan Dynasty's legion. The Sixth Army is the first to defeat the Yuan soldiers and take back the first city from the Yuan soldiers!"
King Shenwu's face was gloomy, and all the counselors in the study were also bitter.
"Commander, the commanders of the legions haven't formally exerted their strength yet, and they are now ready to go! Those who will soon surpass Gao Xianzhi, Gao Xianzhi is just playing tricks!" a counselor whispered.
"Trick? You let them try tricks? Hmph, what I want is the result, not something ready to go!" Shenwu Wang said coldly with staring eyes.
The counselors fell silent for a while.
"You don't need to be angry, Marshal. It's still uncertain who Gao Xianzhi will serve in the future!" Sima Changkong persuaded.
Only then did King Shenwu suppress the anger in his heart, and nodded: "This Gao Xianzhi is a sharp blade that opens up borders. Only this one person can be worth millions of troops!"
Sima Changkong nodded, and the counselors wanted to refute, but they couldn't say anything.
"Has Lu Yang's body arrived at the capital?" Shenwu King said in a deep voice.
Sima Changkong nodded and said, "That's right, all the cities we passed along the way were closed behind closed doors, and all the city lords would not let Lu Yang's body enter the city!"
"Heh, now you know how to avoid suspicion?" King Shenwu sneered.
"Marshal, what about Lu Yang's heirs?" A counselor asked curiously.
King Shenwu narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Cutting weeds requires eradicating the roots. The Holy One will not do this, and neither can we. Let Emperor Dayuan be this villain!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded.
Cut the grass and eradicate the root, put the blame on Da Yuan, set the tone, and everyone avoids talking about it.
"By the way, Marshal, news just came from Chaoge City! The Eighth Legion of Emperor Yuan Dynasty, with 500,000 troops, attacked Chaoge City!" Sima Changkong suddenly frowned.
"Oh? The Eighth Legion of the Great Yuan Dynasty? Chaoge City has experienced several catastrophes, and it is already at the end of its rope. Can it still resist?" King Shenwu was slightly taken aback.
Sima Changkong nodded with a wry smile: "Emperor Dayuan, with an army of 500,000 troops, the entire army was wiped out! Only the commander of the army, Chang Ming, escaped."
"Huh? The entire Eighth Legion was wiped out? The main general was defeated and fled alone? Chang Ming? I don't seem to have heard of this person. How did Gu Hai do it? How much did Dahan pay?" King Shenwu was surprised.
Sima Changkong was silent for a while.
"Huh?" Everyone looked at Sima Changkong together.
"Mr. Sima, the Dahan Dynasty's vitality has been seriously injured?" a counselor asked curiously.
Sima Changkong shook his head: "There were no casualties in the Dahan Dynasty!"
Everyone was slightly taken aback.
"What do you mean no casualties?" King Shenwu frowned.
Sima Changkong was slightly bitter, and described the news that the spies had inquired about.
In the study, everyone was weird for a while.
"Where did Da Yuan find such an excellent army commander? This kind of person can also be an army commander?" King Shenwu struggled for a while.

Northern Expedition City.
The Generalissimo of the Northern Expedition frowned and looked at the report from a subordinate in front of him.
"The news is reliable?" The Marshal frowned.
"Yes, when the people of Chaoge City came out, we sent people to investigate. According to the information obtained, the Eighth Army was detained by Gu Hai, and General Chang disappeared!" the subordinate said bitterly.
"Marshal, Chang Ming will be dealt with by military law. Such a big defeat, but he didn't come back to report. Where did he hide?"
"You won't die, will you?"
……………………
………………
...
All the other subordinates suddenly became impatient.
The Marshal shook his head and said, "With his luck, he won't die!"
"But this defeat is all his fault!" a general shouted angrily.
The commander shook his head: "Perhaps, this Chaoge City is more dangerous than imagined. Chang Ming's leaving in such a defeat may be the best result. At least, the commander came out alive!"
"Huh?" All the subordinates froze.
Is the commander-in-chief justifying Chang Ming?
The commander-in-chief looked gloomy, looked at the sand table in front of him again, and remained silent for a while.
"Could it be that there is still a monstrous murder hidden in this impoverished Chaoge City?" The commander looked at the sand table with a gloomy expression.
"Then, what should we do now? Marshal, let's flatten Chaoge City!" A subordinate said with a look of war.
The commander-in-chief narrowed his eyes slightly, shook his head and said, "No need, you will die if you go!"
"Eh? Impossible, handsome, I won't be like that idiot Chang Ming!"
"I said, there's no need!" The handsome face turned cold, and he turned his head to look.
The subordinate immediately bowed his head and said, "Yes, I'm being rude to my humble post!"
The marshal then nodded and said: "Now the front line has begun to contact with the Long Shenwu army, and we must concentrate on dealing with the Long Shenwu. Dayuan's plan for so many years is in this battle, so there is no need to be distracted. As for the Twelve Cities of the Ancient Sea, hmph, after all, it is only my country in the middle of the Dayuan. I am afraid that it will fail. When this battle is over, I will deal with the Twelve Cities!"
"Yes!" All the subordinates responded.
"Send someone to search for Chang Ming's whereabouts, and if he finds a trace, tell him to come see me immediately!" The commander said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
--------------
Qinglu City, one of the former cities of the Shenlu Dynasty, has now been taken over by the Great Yuan Dynasty.
In the city, a huge store just opened, called the first floor of this street!
On the first floor of this street, Gu Hai stood on a terrace, watching the bustling pedestrians in the outer street, and Tang Chu stood respectfully behind him.
"The first floor of this street, Qinglucheng branch? Heh, it's been open for two months, and it's running pretty well?" Gu Hai laughed.
"Yes, there is the model of Silvermoon City, as well as all the old materials of Qinglu City. We kept analyzing the data along the way. After arriving here, on the third day, we bought the store and found various high-quality products in the city based on the data. After a little decoration for four days, it opened!" Tang Chu laughed.
"Emperor Dayuan is concentrating on dealing with King Shenwu, heh, take advantage of this opportunity to speed up the progress and win the Twelve Cities!" Gu Hai narrowed his eyes slightly.
"yes!"
