Chapter 66 General Zhengnan

The battle ended quickly in such an anticlimactic situation.

At this time, the sky had just reached noon.

"Let me know, prepare some lunch for me, and it must include meat!"

Tao Xiaowu ordered.

Although in this era, for ordinary people, two meals a day is normal.

However, war is extremely physically demanding, so three meals are indispensable during wartime.

More importantly, a good meal can boost morale.

If there is wine, the effect will definitely be better!

However, at this time on the battlefield, Tao Xiaowu definitely couldn't get drunk.

We have no choice but to improve our food standards!

Although he, Tao Xiaowu, could not do such things as inspecting the entire camp, condolences to the entire army, and personally checking the quality of the food in each camp...

This kind of thing is very winsome, and famous generals have done this since ancient times.

However, although Tao Xiaowu understood this truth, he did not do so. He just sent everyone around him out.

In particular, the immortals from heaven and the masters from ghosts and gods were sent out to inspect the whole family and treat the wounded.

He himself stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the majestic city of Mao'an City, and fell into deep thought for a while.

The message from Prince Yuzhuang last night has been delivered to him.

Xian'an has already learned about the assassination of Wang Hu and Wang Jian in Maozhou. The prince's forces have secured the position of army commander for Tao Xiaowu, allowing Tao Xiaowu to prepare.

When the imperial court's decree came, Tao Xiaowu was no longer the temporary commander of this army, but the official commander-in-chief!

Although there are many forces in the court who are wary of Tao Xiaowu.

However, when the prince made his first appearance as the crown prince, the first proposal he made was to propose that Tao Xiaowu be the commander-in-chief of the army that conquered Maozhou.

No one would object to this kind of thing without opening their eyes.

Even Yu Su doesn't know how to do it, he has to hold his nose to admit it.

The Crown Prince is newly established and speaking out for the first time. No matter why, the authority of the Crown Prince must be maintained!

In addition, Tao Xiaowu accepted the fate of the imperial court and integrated into the new Yu Dynasty, and was no longer considered an outsider.

That resistance has weakened.

So Tao Xiaowu successfully became the commander of this army.

Not only that, Xian'an has already sent reinforcements.

However, it is not the Yulin Forbidden Army, but the soldiers and horses of the nearby counties and counties are mobilized to come to support.

In addition, a group of experts who were worshiped by the imperial court were also sent.

The key thing is that Yuzhuang mentioned a person, one of the brains of the group of worshiping masters, named Taiyuan Gong.

That was a master sent by the Confucian Temple, and his magic power was incredible. Tao Xiaowu must pay more attention to this!

Tao Xiaowu didn't take much notice of the arrival of Duke Taiyuan.

It’s not that we underestimate the power of Lord Taiyuan…

Faced with the assassination of coach Wang Hu and infantry captain Wang Jiandu, the masters sent by the imperial court were of course first-rate and powerful.

The problem is that Tao Xiaowu has a good relationship with Confucianism.

Especially not long ago, I met Mr. Lou Chengsheng from Heyang, and the two parties are now in the honeymoon period.

Therefore, generally speaking, it is unlikely that Mr. Tai Yuan will be his enemy.

Of course, Tao Xiaowu actually doesn't mind even if he is his enemy.

Again, in the power struggle within the court, everyone must exercise restraint. No matter how strong the force is, most of the time it will not be able to be used!

It is because Tao Xiaowu is already the appointed commander of the army, so Tao Xiaowu is not worried about other changes at all, so he is not as anxious about conquering Mao'an as the people of Guishen Dao.

"When will the imperial decree and reinforcements arrive..."

In fact, the original decree from the imperial court was supposed to arrive within these few days.

But the problem is that the war on the battlefield in Maozhou has undergone tremendous changes.

The last time the news came back to Xian'an, the general was assassinated and the army suffered a disastrous defeat.

But halfway through the journey, the messenger and reinforcements received new news.

Tao Xiaowu, the Grand Master of King Xi, took over the army, defeated the Maozhou army at Daji Pass, killed Mu Huangyue in Maozhou, and now captured most of Maozhou.

The news came so unexpectedly that the messengers and reinforcements could only stop halfway and wait for the new decree from the court.

After such a delay, it was already seven or eight days later when the courier and reinforcements arrived.

This time, a full 20,000 reinforcements arrived.

Although it was only the county soldiers sent by the new dynasty of Dayu, not the Yulin Forbidden Army.

But as a result, Tao Xiaowu's army has reached 50,000!

Not only that, the imperial court also sent a group to worship the "Mage Group".

Among the so-called mage group, there are wizards, Qi practitioners, and masters of martial arts, totaling more than a hundred.

The leader was none other than the great Confucian sage Taiyuan Gong whom Prince Yuzhuang had mentioned to Tao Xiaowu in advance.

The aura of this great sage was mysterious and unpredictable. Even Tao Xiaowu couldn't tell what his personal cultivation level was at a glance...

Generally speaking, the power of the Confucian sect comes from the gods of the Yujin Temple and the gods of the Confucian Temple.

After the collapse of the Yugoshen Court, the power of the Confucian sect has been weakened to the extreme, and there should not be any powerful figures.

However, this Duke Taiyuan far exceeded Tao Xiaowu's expectations.

This Duke of Tai Yuan had a rather cold attitude toward Tao Xiaowu, with a hint of hostility.

Tao Xiaowu didn't understand it at first, but then he received a letter from Mr. Lou Chengsheng of Heyang, and then he realized that his proposal to the Confucian sect had caused an uproar within the Confucian sect.

There will be opposition to any change, especially Tao Xiaowu's suggestion that Confucianism abandon Shinto and turn to humanity.

With such a big change, there was naturally huge opposition within the Confucian sect.

And that Duke Taiyuan was one of the strongest opponents within the Confucian sect, and he certainly didn't have a good look towards Tao Xiaowu!

This made Tao Xiaowu only pinch his nose and smile bitterly!

And this matter was soon temporarily forgotten, because along with the reinforcements arrived there was also the imperial decree.

Tao Xiaowu was officially appointed as the commander-in-chief of the army, and the court gave him the title of general, making Tao Xiaowu the general of the southern expedition!

It can also be seen from this that Emperor Yusu was really angry this time!

Originally, this army had no name. It was just to escort King Xi to the feudal country, and it did not carry the banner of conquering Maozhou.

Therefore, the commander-in-chief of the army was Wang Hu, the Prime Minister of the Xi Kingdom, and he was not a legitimate commander-in-chief of the army.

However, Wang Hu and Wang Jian were assassinated, which obviously angered the emperor of the new Yu Dynasty.

Tao Xiaowu was given the title of General of the Southern Expedition, which meant that the imperial court had regarded Maozhou as an enemy, a rebel, and a target to be conquered.

In other words, they secretly announced that the Brahma Sect is the enemy!

These objects with strong symbolic meaning can be recognized by a discerning person at a glance.
