Chapter 338: Chapter 342 – a match of war (1)
“Lord Tang, how old are you?” Chu Guang was stunned and stared at Tang Wen.
“Reporting to Saint Duke hai, I am eighteen this year.” Tang Wen cupped his hands and said.
“They said that you had just led your troops to annihilate 15000 enemies and destroyed 500 warships of the sun nation. Is that true?” Hai shenggong asked.
“We did destroy so many, but I also suffered heavy casualties. Sigh ...
They’re all my Good Brothers ... They want to live a good life with me.
However, I actually sent them to Yan Luo Dian. I, Tang Wen, have let them down. ” Tang Wen’s face was full of sorrow and tears were about to flow.
“Sigh ... The dead are gone. Lord Tang, you don’t have to be sad anymore. This is all for the sake of great Chu!
For the court, Lord Tang, you’ve done well.
You’re the role model of my country’s nobility! I, Chu Guang, thank you on behalf of the Imperial court. ” Chu Guang bowed to Tang Wen.
“No, no, no, Duke, you’re going to kill me.” Tang Wen quickly reached out to help him up.
“Did you see that? my dad must be testing Tang Wen.” At this moment, Chu Cong said with a smile from upstairs not far away.
“Haha, the high Duke doesn’t believe you.”
“It’s mainly because Tang Wen is too young. Who would believe that he’s a transcendent – grade powerhouse?”
“Tang Wen had better fight back and make the high Duke fall to the ground and lose face.”
“Hahaha ... I agree.” Chu Cong was actually overjoyed.
Tang Wen tried to help him up.
It was so heavy!
Chu Guang’s body was as heavy as Mount Tai. He understood now. Old man, are you testing me?
Tang Wen exerted some force and Chu Guang suddenly felt a strong force. His whole body shook and he immediately jumped up.
Immediately, Wan Hansong and the others shrunk their necks as they understood.
“Hehehe, Your Excellency High Duke’s body is young.” Tang Wen laughed drily.
“You’ve made a fool of me! We’ll settle this score in the future!” Chu Guang snorted and said to Qiu Zhaohai,”look, you, Qiu Zhaohai, are actually delaying such a great battle. Lord Qiu, this is the honor of your military office. Don’t do it again!”
“Your subordinate knows her mistake.” Qiu Zhaohai quickly bowed and apologized.
“Sir Tang, you are the Savior of Linghai!”
“That’s right, Your Excellency Duke of state. Lord Tang should be heavily rewarded. Ever since the war with the sun nation started, the Imperial court has been defeated repeatedly. I heard that this Lord Tang has already won two great battles in a row. ”
“Lord Tang is a hero!”
“High Duke, you should be given an important task! We should give Lord Tang food, soldiers, and horses, and let him lead the war against the sun nation. ”
“We believe in Lord Tang. Only he can recover the land.”
……
“Ding – Dong. You have obtained 18000 popularity points. You have reached the popularity target.” As expected, the system responded again.
“I’m in a hurry, I need to go to the toilet. ” Seeing this, Tang Wen hurried away and called he Tian, Luo kun, and the others over.
“Feng jiuxue, come over immediately.” He then sent a voice transmission to Feng jiuxue.
“Bastard! Why did you call this young lady when you went to the toilet?” Feng jiuxue almost exploded in anger.
“Don’t regret it if you don’t come. It’s on the upper floor of the inn behind you, No. 33.” Tang Wen said.
“You bastard, why did you run to the room to use the toilet?” Feng jiuxue mumbled. However, she was also quite curious. She didn’t know what this guy was doing.
So, he sneaked into the room and found a few people surrounding Tang Wen.
“Hurry up!” Tang Wen stretched out his hand and pulled Feng jiuxue over.
“Let go of me, you bastard! What do you want?” Feng jiuxue struggled.
“Don’t mess around! I’ll teach you the yellow rank lower class technique, Swimming Dragon attraction ...”
Feng jiuxue stopped struggling and sat down obediently, leaning against Tang Wen.
Not long after, streams of human qi rushed over.
After half an hour, Tang Wen stood up.
“I ... How did I get to’ Supreme – grade ‘?” Feng jiuxue couldn’t believe her eyes and looked at Tang Wen with a dazed expression.
“You’re my young Madam, of course I have to help you. ” Tang Wen smiled evilly.
“But ... But I was only a complete rank -2 before ... I actually skipped rank -1 and directly entered transcendent – grade?” Feng jiuxue felt like she was dreaming.
“This is what makes your husband so powerful.” Tang Wen laughed lecherously.
“You’re dreaming! Go to hell, you actually hugged me!” Feng jiuxue kicked Tang Wen to the ground and ran downstairs.
“Master, I ... I ... I’ve entered the early stages of Qi cultivation.” He Tian knelt down at Tang Wen’s feet.
“Old master, I ... I’m almost there, but I’m already a peak Xiantian Lord.” Luo kun was so excited that he followed he Tian and knelt down.
“Thank you, master!”
……
“You little brat! This pile of shit isn’t small, and it takes an hour to shit. You made me wait for a long time. ” Chu Guang was so angry that he laughed when he came out.
“I’m sorry. I’ve been constipated recently. I’m probably too tired. ” Tang Wen said.
To be honest, Tang Wen was quite depressed.
Every time he was promoted, he would only be promoted by a small level. However, some of the people who followed him would be promoted by two major realms.
This popularity seemed to only benefit others and was not very friendly to himself.
He Tian was already at the early – Stage of Qi cultivation, but he had only reached the peak of Qi cultivation.
“I’ve decided to recommend Tang Wen to the Imperial court as a general. Do you have any objections, chief soldier Qiu?” Chu Guang asked.
“I will do whatever Lord Duke decides. Tang Wen has made a great contribution, so I have no objections!” Qiu Zhaohai had no choice.
“He only made one contribution. Isn’t it a little too much to promote him to a general?” The Dean of the Linghai Academy, Gao Qiu, was naturally unhappy.
“Lord Tang was originally a guerrilla general, and he was only promoted by half a rank. What’s wrong with that?” Chu Zhao asked.
“Yes, it’s not too much to even be promoted to Deputy general. That’s because we’re still counting on Lord Tang to lead the Army and defeat the enemy. ” Wan Hansong said.
“Dean Gao, you’re making such sarcastic remarks. Why don’t you lead the Linghai Academy’s troops and win a great battle for us? When the time comes, how about the high Duke gives you a Deputy general?” Feng jiuxue laughed coldly.
“Well, there’s no need for that. Our Linghai Academy focuses on nurturing talents for the Imperial court. They’re doing this for the country and the people. They’re much more useful than going to the battlefield alone.” Gao Qiu replied.
“Bullshit! The sun nation’s thieves are almost at our doorstep. What has the Linghai Academy done?
Do you only know how to shake your head every day? High Duke, there are many martial artists in the Linghai Academy, and they are all powerful.
When the country was in trouble, everyone had a responsibility, but Lord Tang could still bring his family to the battlefield.
For the sake of the country, shouldn’t the Linghai Academy also send some troops to participate in the war?” Feng jiuxue said.
“Right! The Linghai Academy should be on the battlefield as well. You can’t just enjoy it with the court’s Silver!” Chu Zhao said.
“The government office sends hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the Linghai Academy every year. Since the country is in trouble, the Linghai Academy has to help this time as well, as Hall Master Feng has said.” Wan Hansong said.
“Yes, we can’t just stand by and watch the Linghai Academy.
Let’s do it this way. The Linghai college has to assign some tasks.
Let them send out three thousand men to recover the coastal islands. There can’t be any delay. ” Chu Guang said.
“High Duke, we only know how to educate people. We are all teachers and scholars, how can we fight?” When Gao Qiu heard this, he was extremely anxious.
“Don’t you have thousands of instructors? There were also guards and servants. Three thousand was still too little. If the country was gone, what was the point of keeping the Linghai Academy? You should go to the battlefield and kill the enemy to gain merits. ” Feng jiuxue said.
“People say that the Linghai Academy is no weaker than the ten ocean Saints sects.
If you don’t do anything when the country is in trouble, what are you teaching?
Could it be that the Linghai Academy is going to watch the fall of great Chu?
I’m very suspicious of the Linghai Academy’s attitude. Could it be that you’re on the same side as the sun nation?” Chu Zhao sneered.
“The Linghai Academy has its own difficulties too. It’s not right to send a bunch of paper – wielding students to the front lines.” Wei yang said,”will people say that Chu country is gone?”
“If the Linghai Academy doesn’t send anyone, then Lord Wei will lead the expedition and recover the coastal islands.” Feng jiuxue said.
“This TIFF is not bad.” Chief Qiu nodded.
“My Lord! My Yamen has many soldiers and generals, so it’s not my turn to go personally. In my opinion, it’s only right for the Linghai college to help. ” Wei yang saw this and thought,”oh no, this is all my fault. Isn’t this asking me to die?”
I’m sorry, it’s better for you to die than me. I’ll leave the Linghai Academy to you.
“Lord Wei’s suggestion is very honest. I agree.” Wan Hansong said.
“Why isn’t Sir Wan going up?” Gao Qiu laughed coldly.
“Yes, I personally led the Army to a great victory last time.
However, I’m now acting as the governor and supporting the front line.
Aren’t the horses and rations important? There were too many things to do when he had to urge them to build warships.
We’re not like your Linghai Academy, where we live so leisurely.
He should also be dragged out for a walk and exercise his limbs. ” Wan Hansong said.
“Alright! It was decided then. The Linghai college would select three thousand people to go to the front line and recover the island. Dean Gao, you must be there within three days. Otherwise, I’ll punish you. ” Chu Guang said with a serious face.
Gao Qiu’s face was green as he kept looking at general Qiu and Wei yang.
However, this was the Duke’s order, so how could the two of them dare to step forward, afraid that they would be set on fire.
“Alright then. The Linghai Academy will take back a few islands that Lord Tang has taken back.” Gao Qiu gritted his teeth. Damn, he had to drag someone down with him.
“Alright, it’s decided then. Lord High Duke, I would like to make a military pledge with director Gao, is that alright?” Tang Wen said.
“But! He immediately drew up a Military Order. If Lord Tang took back a few islands, the Linghai Academy must take back a few. If any of them failed to do so, they would be punished by military law! Chu Guang said.
“High Duke, I will be supervising the battle!” Feng jiuxue requested.
“Alright, write it down. Overseer Feng jiuxue.” Chu Guang said.
“High Duke, High Duke Qiu, I, Chu Zhao, would like to lead my troops to follow Lord Tang in fighting against the sun nation’s traitors. For the sake of great Chu, please give me a chance to sacrifice my life for the country. ” Chu Zhao cupped his fists and said with a firm expression.
“Lord Tang has his men. Your mission is to defend hailing Bay and prevent the enemy from coming ashore to attack our Jiangzhou city.” Qiu Zhaohai said coldly.
“Lord Qiu, what are you talking about?
I haven’t recruited a single soldier, they’re all servants of my Tang family.
In the previous two battles, there were four to five thousand casualties, but there were not many left now.
The Imperial court wants me to recover the Lost Island, so is it reasonable to not give me a single soldier?” Tang Wen asked.
“One radish, one pit. Linghai has suffered heavy casualties during this period of time. They have given up on the small cities and can only defend the Jiang Prefecture and a few other large cities.
If they took the troops away and the enemy attacked, were they going to watch Jiang Prefecture fall?
Then I, Qiu Zhaohai, will become a criminal of the court. Ten thousand deaths will not be enough to atone for my sins. ” Qiu Zhaohai snorted.
“The Minister of Chu has the heart to sacrifice his life for the country. He is the role model of great Chu’s soldiers. I allow it.” Chu Guang said.
“But High Duke, there are no more soldiers in Linghai? All the major cities are in danger, and I’m burning with anxiety. If we rashly take them away, Linghai will be in danger. ” Qiu Zhaohai said.
“There’s no need to transfer your men. I’ll transfer the 8th Battalion of the ocean Saint Black Knights here. Chu Zhao will be the commander – in – chief and lead the Army to fight with Lord Tang.” Chu Guang said.
