Xiao Yan, Di Xi, and Ouyang Yu were sitting around the main hall. The main purpose of their meeting today was to discuss the next joint operations of the coalition forces.
Since the last time Xiao Yan lobbied the kings of the Ghost Territory, Dong Lan and Bei Lan have successively raised troops to respond, but there has been no response from the Southern Territory.
Xiao Yan, who had no hope for the Southern Territory, immediately raised 800,000 troops and rushed to Qingjiang City to join forces with the other two coalition forces.
Di Xi, who was sitting at the top, said leisurely: "Everyone, this time Donglan has raised 1.2 million troops and 1128 generals, which is the largest number of troops among the three families.
So I think the position of alliance leader should belong to me, Donglan, right?"
"Isn't it great to have more people? If we can't increase our combat power, no matter how many we have, it's useless."
At this time, Ouyang Yu, who was sitting sideways, interjected while holding his orchid fingers.
"This time we have sent 800,000 troops, of which 200,000 are the most elite army of spirit beasts, which is comparable to the giant spirit soldiers of the underworld.
I would like to ask you two, whose tribe can compete with them?"
"Soul beast?"
When Di Xi heard this name, she couldn't help being surprised.
He looked at the coquettish queen in front of him in surprise.
"If I remember correctly, soul beasts should have originated from the demon world, right?"
Di Xi took a deep breath and tried to ask: "I have long heard that a remnant of the great wizard of the demon world, the Witch King, once appeared in Beilan.
Now it seems that he must have taken orders from the empress, right?"
"Hahaha... Dongjun is quite well informed!
Yes, it does happen."
Ouyang Yu explained with a smile: "But so what, as long as it can be used by me, does it matter where it comes from?
But for the position of alliance leader, do you two still think that I, Beilan, am not qualified?"
"Humph, the way to lead an army is not to look at the soldiers under your command, but to look at the talent of the general.
When it comes to attacking and planning, if the general is incompetent, no matter how brave the soldiers are, it will be of no use."
Speaking of this, Di Xi sighed deeply: "If my subordinate Da Sima hadn't been injured in Jiangning a few days ago, there would be no need to hold this meeting.
With Sima Zhongda’s talent and learning, I think there will be no problem in commanding the coalition forces.”
"Hahaha... Don't be angry, Mr. Dong. Zhongda's talent is unparalleled in ancient and modern times. Of course, he will do his job.
But he’s not here now, so we still have to choose the person with the ability to live in him, right?”
At this time, Xiao Yan stood up and introduced: "I'm sorry, I just recruited a general a few days ago. I don't know if I can get into the eyes of the two of you."
"Haha, it turns out that Xijun has a plan for a long time!"
Ouyang Yu replied angrily, and then snorted coldly: "Since Xijun said it is so powerful, I would like to see who has such great ability and can make the dignified Xijun praise him so much."
"Haha, the empress is so complimentary!"
Xiao Yan turned sideways with a smile and shouted to the curtain behind him.
"Wu Anjun, please come out and meet everyone."
"Um???"
"Wu'an Jun Bai Qi???"
Upon hearing this special title, Di Xi and Ouyang Yu both turned sideways involuntarily.
I saw an eight-foot-tall silver-armored general with powerful arms walking out from behind the curtain.
The man's eyes were bright and clear, he was not angry and intimidated, and as soon as he appeared on the scene, his whole body exuded a solemn murderous aura, as if the god of murder had come to the world.
Bai Qi came forward and bowed his hands in salute: "I, Bai Qi, have met three monarchs!"
"..."
Ouyang Yu and Di Xi looked at each other, and both looked at Xiao Yan in surprise.
"Xi Jun, as far as I know Wu An Jun has been working in the underworld, how did you recruit him here?" Di Xi asked in surprise.
"Hahaha, don't be surprised, Mr. Dong. If you want to know the reason, you should listen to Mr. Wu An himself."
After saying that, Xiao Yan looked at Bai Qi: "Jun Wu An, please explain to them two so that you can dispel their concerns."
"yes!"
After Bai Qi returned the gift, he came to the two of them and explained: "You two gentlemen may not know something. The underworld did allow me to take official positions before, but they were all false positions.
The underworld is full of talents, and there is no shortage of famous generals and counselors. If you want to show what you have learned in your life, you don't know how long it will take.
Fortunately, Xijun thinks highly of me and gives me an important position so that I can be useful.
That’s why Bai Qite came to take action!”
"So that's it!"
After hearing Bai Qi's explanation, Di Xi and Ouyang Yu finally understood.
It turns out that Bai Qi has never been reused in the underworld, so he switched to Xiao Yan's command.
Now that the God of War Bai Qi is here, their winning rate is undoubtedly much higher.
Seeing this, both Di Xi and Ouyang Yu voluntarily gave up the opportunity to win the alliance leader.
"Since Mr. Wu An is here, I, Donglan, will not argue."
"We at Beilan also mean the same thing!"
Hearing Di Xi and Ouyang Yu's statements, Xiao Yan was immediately happy.
"Okay, since both of you agree that Mr. Wu An will serve as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, then we will do our part."
However, for the sake of reasonable coordination within the coalition forces, the two of you can each appoint a deputy general to join the central army." Xiao Yan added.
"Can!"
Di Xi and Ouyang Yu both nodded in agreement.
At this time, Bai Qi, as the commander-in-chief, interjected: "Thanks to the respect of the three gentlemen, Bai Qi will do his best to repay the kindness of the three gentlemen.
But Bai Qi also wants to ask who is in command over there in the underworld and what the strength of the troops is, so that I can make arrangements in advance."
"Hahaha... Did you two see that we didn't choose the wrong person? Wu Anjun will start to analyze the opponent."
Xiao Yan praised him proudly and then introduced him.
"Wu'an Lord, this time the underworld is commanded by King Guang of Qin. Li Jing, Li Mu, Xiang Yan, and Wang Jian are appointed as deputy generals, and they have joined the twelve guards. A total of two million underworld soldiers are attacking us from Maguan, Mingdang Mountain, and Song Emperor City.
Come on."
"It turns out it's them!"
Bai Qi already had an idea in his mind after hearing this.
When he first served in the underworld, these famous generals were basically idle just like him.
Now it's just because of the sudden outbreak of war that the temporary recruitment is done.
In the past, when they had nothing to do, they liked military exercises, and they were also familiar with each other's habits of using troops.
After learning that the commanders of the troops were all acquaintances, Bai Qi immediately raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, since I already know who is leading the troops, I will make preparations first."
"Okay, then we have Mr. Lao Wu'an."
After Di Xi and others looked at each other, they let him go without stopping him.
After all, things like dispatching troops and generals should be left to professionals like him.
After Bai Qi left, Di Xi frowned and looked at Xiao Yan and asked, "Xi Jun, didn't you say that Yao Ji would suffer a natural disaster?
How come she has now returned to the underworld instead of experiencing any calamity?
This is very detrimental to our uprising."
"Yeah, I've heard about this too."
Ouyang Yu also interjected: "I also heard that Yao Ji's temperament changed drastically after she returned to the underworld, as if she was a different person.
Not only did she execute all the undercover officials who had secret dealings with us, but she also killed all the eight thousand tiger soldiers who had been captured before.
Such thunderous methods are completely different from her past behavior."
