Just when Gu Chen was thinking about all of this, the lady in charge in front of her exhaled a breath of smoke and moved her eyes to the unread document. Gu Chen, who was asked, looked at the document curiously.
He wanted to get closer and take a closer look, but Wu Yan didn't give him that chance.
"The Jinbo Sun thieves have indeed started to move. There is clearly a riot in their own backyard that has not been settled, but they insist on sending a fleet to stir up trouble near Liyang. I really don't know what that idiot's head is thinking? Fortunately, the Yuqi camp has been prepared in advance.
We set aside some troops and rushed over in time to guard Wu Ling to prevent any trouble, but we can't move for the time being."
The tone of the heroine's tone contained the negative feelings of adding "disgust" and "hate" and multiplying them by five. Gu Chen only understood what Wu Yan was saying after turning those words around in his mind.
The situation mentioned.
(Jinbo Sun clan, remember, they are the princes who are eyeing Liyang covetously...)
Jinbo Territory is located on the southeast side of Liyang Territory and is ruled by the Sun family of the twelve princes. There are many rivers in Jinbo Territory. The Sun family has established several merchant fleets and accumulated considerable wealth relying on monopoly waterway trade. The Sun family will
The wealth has been invested in the construction of the navy, and the combat power of its fleet is unparalleled in the Eastern Continent. Among the twelve princes, the Sun family itself is also ranked among the top three wealthy families.
Although the Sun family's enthusiasm for building a navy has the effect of boosting the country's prestige, its prosperous shipbuilding industry also accelerates the consumption of forest resources within the territory. It is said that the tall straight trees used to make keels have almost disappeared in its territory, and in comparison, Liyang's
Forest material resources are almost inexhaustible. For this reason, Sun's spying on Liyang Territory has long been a semi-open secret among the princes.
Although the Sun family has a river patrol fleet that dominates commercial and fishing, the Wu family also has two land elites, the Yuqi Battalion and the Martial Arts Battalion. In terms of military force, the two sides are barely comparable. However, the Sun family controls the source of waterway trade by monopolizing the waterway trade.
However, the Wu family has been unable to make ends meet due to famines in the territory. There is a huge gap in financial resources between the two parties. As a result, the Liyang territory is often on the defensive during conflicts.
For example, even in the summer when wild monsters are rioting, the Jinbo Territory still has the remaining power to send fleets to the border to fight war, while the Liyang Territory can only deploy the Yuqi Battalion to deal with it. But the Yuqi Battalion is under the command of Liyang Mansion
The few precious troops that could be used to suppress the famine were now being wasted in the confrontation with the Jinbo Fleet. As a result, opportunities that could have been used to help could only be missed.
Of course, the Jinbo Sun family knew this and deliberately sent a fleet to harass them. The purpose was to take advantage of the chaos to attack the prestige of Liyang Mansion and weaken the Wu family's dominance bit by bit like a blunt knife cutting flesh. Such despicable behavior can only add insult to injury.
There are no words to describe it.
If you think about it this way, Gu Chen can completely understand Wu Yan's hatred for Sun Thief's evil neighbor. If conditions permit, Gu Chen even doubts that this tough and resolute female hero will want to directly attack Jinbo Territory with his troops? Regardless?
What is certain is that the current tight situation of Liyang Mansion must have made Wu Yan very angry.
Under Gu Chen's attention, the single-eyed female hero raised her cigarette and took several puffs. As if she was trying to swallow the gloomy energy, she continued speaking after a long while.
"Fortunately, there are more hunting cavalry to dispatch this time. Only fifty cavalry have achieved outstanding results comparable to a thousand cavalry. It's no wonder that Bingcao Si is rolling on the ground and clamoring for additional equipment... Ha, thanks to Han Yu and the others for fighting hard,
The surrounding areas of this city can still barely maintain stability."
"However, Kinoji is too far away from the city, and the terrain is such that even sending hunting cavalry to reinforce it will not have much effect. Now we can only let them stick to the settlement and wait for reinforcements, at least until the group of water thieves retreats...
..." Wu Yan's eyes
Glancing out of the window, not sure if he was mistaken, Gu Chen vaguely heard the sound of rattling. "Tsk, it's really inconvenient to sit in this position of commander. I'm constrained by what I can do. In comparison, it was even more difficult during the previous war.
Much more refreshing.”
(How much more refreshing?) The female hero’s violent words made Gu Chen’s eyes widen.
The "last war" Wu Yan mentioned should refer to the series of military disasters that Li Yang suffered when his younger brother Wu Shang died.
The military disaster started when Duke Li Yang, who had lost his beloved son, devoted his entire country to attack the ghost rock monster. As a result, he suffered a disastrous defeat and caused Li Yang Mansion to lose more than half of its troops. In just a few weeks after that, bandit gangs that had disappeared from all over Li Yang territory suddenly appeared in large numbers.
.The bandits cut off the trade routes and attacked the city, causing chaos in Liyang Territory.
At this time, as if to make the situation worse, the Jinbo Sun clan, the Jianyefang clan and other princes formed a joint regiment and headed to the border of Liyang under the banner of "mutual assistance among princes" and "helping Liyang restore order", and eventually evolved into
The chaos lasted for two years and affected several territorial states.
In such a dangerous situation, it was none other than Wu Yan, the eldest daughter of the Wu family, who replaced the ailing Duke of Li Yang and led the Li Yang army to destroy the banditry and chaos with overwhelming command, and drove the princes with ulterior motives out of Li Yang.
That tragic battle caused heavy damage to the Liyang leader that has not yet healed, but it also severely cut off the black hands of Jinbo Jianye and others who had reached out to Liyang. As for Wu Yan himself, he used the "whip of the princes" and the "female of the south"
Nicknames such as "Tiger" and "Tiger" have become a symbol of Liyang's prominent military power, frightening the surrounding sneaky little ones.
Gu Chen has no doubt about the one-eyed female hero's talent in leading the army to fight, but running the country does not seem to be her interest. Especially in the last war, the big ship "Li Yang" was severely damaged. Since then, the consular government has been desperately trying to draw water.
In order to avoid the embarrassment of sinking. Wu Yan of the martial arts faction can endure until now, and one has to admire his willpower.
(Even so, calling the unified army's war "refreshing" is too deviating from common sense...)
Gu Chen silently paid tribute to the heroine's domineering attitude in his heart, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Originally he was just summoned by the chief to report to the Summer Palace, but he didn't expect to hear such a profound topic by accident. Although he has the authority to intervene in Liyang's consular affairs as a young supervisor, under the current situation, it seems that he can say nothing.
It is impossible to escape the suspicion of eavesdropping.
"Huh!?"
Just when Gu Chen was worried about how to resolve the misunderstanding, he suddenly felt a strange trend behind him.
Fan Neng's wind touch made him very sensitive to the current of wind. The current was mixed with sharp hostility that almost stung his skin. Gu Chen instinctively jumped back to the left. After a moment's delay, a thorn stick poked him.
In the position where he originally stood.
"What?"
Gu Chen let out a cry of surprise, but the thorn that missed the attack was coiled and stabbed at him again. When Gu Chen dodges in panic, he sees rattan sprouting from many green potted plants in the rest area.
They were coming towards him from all directions.
"Hey!?"
In a horrifying moment, Gu Chen kicked out his left foot. As his energy flowed down, the fire chakra in his left foot suddenly appeared, and a stream of flames spurted out. The violent flames not only pushed Gu Chen away from the place, but also ignited its physical properties.
The entangled green vines caused Zichen Pavilion to suddenly become commotion.
