I became a big shot in the quick transmigration world.

Chapter 765 Long Live the Emperor! (35)
With a wave of his hand, Yu Muhuai declared to the world with boundless pride: "I will personally lead the army into battle!"

Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials in the court trembled.

This time, the officials in the court, unusually, did not split into different factions, but instead expressed their opposition in unison.

"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

"Your Majesty, you must not do such a dangerous thing!"

"Your Majesty! You are the pillar of the nation. How can you personally go to the battlefield? What will become of the country if something happens to you?"

"emperor."

Yu Muhuai's eye twitched.

She only made a suggestion, so why is everyone acting like she's already injured?

For more than a decade, Yu Muhuai has maintained her daily training routine, and with the energy of the Soul Star, she is virtually unmatched.

She's not bragging, but with her current skills, she could easily handle dozens or even hundreds of them.

After the ministers below finished wailing, Yu Muhuai smiled faintly.

Finished?
It's my turn.

After a one-sided and overwhelming verbal battle, Yu Muhuai inevitably gained the upper hand.

All the ministers were speechless and unable to refute what he said.

Finally, Yu Muhuai ordered the Crown Prince to oversee the state, with Zhan Zhong, Fu Manguan, and Huang Jidao assisting him.

She personally led the troops and went on the expedition.

After a long journey of more than half a month, Yu Muhuai led an army of 200,000 to the border.

At this time, reinforcements from the Northeast and Southwest regions had arrived one after another.

The Cong Kingdom has already assembled a million-strong army.

The military strength of Jian State was also roughly the same.

Over the past decade, not only has the Cong Kingdom been recuperating and rebuilding, but the Jian Kingdom has also been conserving its strength.

Although Cong State is much stronger in terms of overall development.

However, ten years ago, Jian State had a better foundation.

Therefore, the current situations of the two countries can be described as roughly equal.

Both neighboring countries are very powerful. Jian covets Cong's unique geographical advantages, while Cong deeply resents Jian's past acts of aggression.

The two sides dislike each other, and a war is bound to break out sooner or later.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

The Jian Kingdom had long heard about the Cong Kingdom's emperor's personal expedition.

But they didn't dare to confirm the truth of the matter until they actually saw the golden flag with "Yonglong" engraved on it.

As a nomadic people living on the grasslands, the territory of Jian Kingdom was conquered inch by inch under the leadership of the Great Khan.

However, after the Jian Kingdom stabilized, the Khan led his troops on expeditions less and less frequently.

After all, too much fighting would severely deplete one's physical strength.

If an emperor only cares about fighting wars and doesn't care about the livelihood of the country, then it can only be considered a tribe at most, not a proper country.

So decades ago, Great Khan Badachi gradually delegated the war to his sons, while he himself focused on being a king.

In comparison, the emperor of Cong Kingdom valued his life much more.

Although the royal children of Cong Kingdom learn archery, horseback riding, kung fu, and swordsmanship from a young age, not all of them go to the battlefield to fight.

The crown prince, in particular, has an even more prestigious status and rarely goes to the battlefield.

Needless to say, the Emperor was even more so.

In the history of the Cong Kingdom, only three emperors personally led troops into battle.

One was the ancestor who founded the Cong Kingdom and was also its first emperor.

Another was the great-grandson of the founding emperor, a rare military genius whose talents would have been wasted if he hadn't fought. The last was an extremely playful and restless emperor who, in reality, never experienced the true brutality of war; he simply wanted to play on the battlefield.

By the time he arrived, the war was over; he was essentially there to clean up the mess.

Let's just call it a royal expedition.

Now, including Emperor Yonglong, he is the fourth.

At this moment, the central figure in the discussion, Emperor Yonglong Yu Muhuai, was sitting in the Iron Fighting City Lord's Mansion, discussing formations and battle plans with his soldiers.

Iron Fighting City is the most important city on the northwestern border. When Yu Muhuai first came into this world, he tried every means to reorganize Iron Fighting City.

This is the first time she has come in person.

Compared to cities in the south, Tiedou City's overall color scheme is dark yellow and gray.

The Northwest region is characterized by strong winds and sandstorms, so houses are built with rammed earth structures to withstand the wind, sand, and cold.

After Yu Muhuai and his soldiers had finished their discussion, the meeting adjourned.

Everyone walked out of the room together, but one person hesitated, as if he wanted to ask something but was somewhat unsure.

Yu Muhuai looked at the other person.

Jiang Shaohui was the governor of the prefecture and county, and concurrently served as the lord of Tiedou City.

Because Tiedou City was located far away, and Jiang Shaohui was usually busy with official duties, he only went to the capital city twice during important holidays in the first ten years or so.

Yu Muhuai was very busy when he was in the capital, especially during important holidays, and he often had to receive foreign envoys, so he had no time to have a detailed talk with Jiang Shaohui.

The two had only met from afar at a banquet and had received a visit from Jiang Shaohui, but had never had a private conversation.

Yu Muhuai realized what the other person wanted to say, so he called out to him.

"Governor Jiang, is there something you wish to discuss with me?"

Jiang Shaohui silently breathed a sigh of relief, bowed, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Okay, then you can stay."

Jiang Shaohui stepped forward and stood in front of Yu Muhuai.

After the two discussed some combat-related matters, Jiang Shaohui finally revealed his purpose for staying.

"Your Majesty, I have always had a question that I would like to ask you."

Yu Muhuai raised his chin: "Speak freely."

Jiang Shaohui bowed again: "Your Majesty, may I ask why you directly transferred me to Tiedou City fourteen years ago?"
"Your Majesty, I have never understood what I have done to deserve your favor."

Yu Muhuai smiled faintly: "Could it be that Governor Jiang is worried that my judgment is poor and that he thinks he is unworthy of his position?"

Little did Jiang Shaohui know that the Emperor was actually joking and teasing him.

The tension I was feeling just moments ago instantly eased.

"Of course not. Although my abilities are limited, I firmly believe that I will use my limited abilities to serve the country, the people, and Your Majesty as much as possible."

Yu Muhuai gave a soft "hmm".

"Of course I trust you. As for why I chose you back then... well, I observed the celestial phenomena last night."

Jiang Shaohui:
Although he never figured out why the emperor had chosen him without hesitation back then, Jiang Shaohui no longer dwelled on the question.

For the past fourteen years, he has often been troubled by this problem.

However, after a long talk with the emperor, he realized that these issues were not actually important.

The key point is that he lived up to the emperor's expectations, his own conscience, and his mission.

That's enough.

Three days later, the two armies engaged in fierce fighting outside the Moan defense line.

Along the Mo'an defense line is a city wall stretching for hundreds of miles, built with the support of Duan Kui over several decades. It is similar to the Great Wall, but not as high or as long.
