Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2230 The Great Martial Emperor Ascends the Academy, the Fiendish Master and Disciple Join the Martial Army

If hundreds of thousands of troops were to be added at once, it would directly disrupt the strategy of recuperation and development previously established by the Great Wu rulers and ministers.

However, if the number is kept to around 100,000, it will not have a significant impact on the Great Wu in the future.

Moreover, a force of 100,000 is sufficient for the Jianhao battlefield where the Great Wu and Great Han are currently engaged in battle.

After all, with the Han Dynasty launching its campaign against Yan, they wouldn't have enough troops to reinforce the Jianhao battlefield for a certain period of time.

Clearly, at this time, Da Wu had also not received any news about the Great Yan battlefield. After all, Da Wu, being the easternmost region, was too far away from Great Yan.

However, having soldiers is not enough without generals!
There must be someone of sufficient stature to replace Wu Changsheng and rekindle the heroic spirit of the Great Wu.

However, in the Great Wu Army, there is only one person stronger than Wu Changsheng: Ning Baitou.

However, Ning Baitou is stationed in the Northwest and should not be moved lightly.

Although the Northern Di people went to plunder the bones left by the Murong family after their split, it doesn't mean they can let their guard down.

This is similar to how the Han Dynasty had important generals stationed at Tianlang Pass and Xiping Road for many years, so it's not a problem to temporarily relocate them occasionally.

However, it's best not to transfer him away from such an important place for an extended period of time.

With Ning Baitou needing to remain in the Northwest and not to move lightly, the emperor and his ministers of Da Wu naturally thought of Guan Yue, a rather special figure in Da Wu.

He was a true-blue martial artist, and his ancestors were a family of meritorious officials, though they had fallen on hard times.

He also had many experiences of helping the Dawu Army fight.

However, he was merely an accomplice; in essence, he neither served in office nor joined the army. Although he was a citizen of the Great Wu Dynasty, he was not truly part of the imperial system.

Although the imperial court tried to bestow a title upon him on various pretexts time and again, he neither openly refused nor truly accepted it.

Therefore, how to persuade this person to leave the mountain gate is a considerable problem!

When the ministers suggested sending Guan Yue's uncles, nephews, and cousins ​​to the battlefield, although they didn't explicitly say so, their meaning was self-evident.

However, the minister didn't need to continue speaking openly; Crown Prince Da Wu had already shut him down.

In a world of great strife, any means are certainly acceptable!

However, that depends on the situation.

If it really comes to a desperate situation, a life-or-death situation, let alone this kind of method, even more despicable methods can be used.

But have we reached that point yet?
Although Guan Yue was not a military official, he was still a military man and a highly accomplished student of Mr. Gu. From any perspective, such methods should be used with caution!
If it weren't for the fact that the minister who spoke was a veteran in the court, the Crown Prince of Dawu would have wanted to expel him directly.

Ultimately, Emperor Dawu decided to personally visit the academy to persuade Guan Yue to come out of seclusion.

After all, Guan Yue is a native of Da Wu, and the academy is located within Da Wu's territory. Over the years, the Da Wu court has never mistreated the academy, and various national policies have never hindered its development. In fact, they have even taken the initiative to help it develop.

He believed that since he, the emperor, had taken the initiative to visit Guan Yue, or rather, to beg for his favor, Guan Yue would not refuse him.

Even Mr. Gu has to give the emperor face.

Or, to put it another way, even if the emperor himself actively sought him out, Guan Yue or the academy still wouldn't give him the respect he deserved.

In that case, the other party was essentially slapping the emperor in the face. And that was exactly what happened; when the Great Wu Emperor himself arrived, even Gu Qingzhu had to obediently come out from the back mountain to greet him.

After meeting, the emperor gave Gu Qingzhu a great deal of face, allowing him to ride in the imperial carriage together, showing him the utmost courtesy as the foremost Confucian scholar.

However, before and after this, Gu Qingzhu also had to take care of the emperor's face.

When the emperor made his request, Guan Yue himself did not object. He was a citizen of Da Wu and did not mind contributing to Da Wu.

The reason he has refused to join the Great Wu Dynasty all these years is not because he is so opposed to the court.

It was only because he knew that his identity was special, and once he joined the Great Wu Dynasty, he would inevitably be drawn into various vortexes.

Aside from academic research, his only hobby is martial arts.

But if he were to find himself in a whirlpool, would he still be able to maintain his original intention and focus on his studies, or would he still be able to single-mindedly uphold his original aspiration for martial arts?
Therefore, he maintained an attitude of neither accepting nor directly refusing the rewards offered by the Great Wu Dynasty.

Only Gu Qingzhu sighed helplessly in his heart.

When Guan Yue was young, he had a chance encounter with Taiqing during his visit to Master Kong in Daqian.

Taiqing once said that Guan Yu and Yue Fei were born with evil spirits. If they joined the army, they would be doubly cursed and would not be able to bear it. They would surely suffer calamity!

Gu Qingzhu doesn't practice the concept of destiny or fate; it's just that his martial arts level is high, and through analogy, he understands everything he needs to understand.

However, he himself still didn't quite believe in this. Fate and destiny are hard to change, but they are not entirely unchangeable.

If you are destined to face a calamity, but you overcome it, things will turn around and things will be much better!

Gu Qingzhu believed that human will could overcome nature.

However, this was, after all, his own disciple, so how could he not worry?
Guan Yue was a true disciple, unlike Gao Jiong, who was a student who had only attended his classes.

The seven celestial beings of the Central Plains each have their own obsessions and things they cannot let go of.

However, he would not interfere with his apprentice's decisions based on his own will.

Xiao Yuesheng was like this a few years ago, and Guan Yue is like this today.

He can support his disciples and remind them when they are confused, but he cannot be the one who decides their life path. How they choose to walk their own path is entirely up to them.

Therefore, Guan Yue temporarily joined the Great Wu army once again, and together with the 100,000 troops, marched eastward to the Jianhao battlefield.

In this battle, not only Guan Yue himself went to war, but also his disciple Yue Yunlong.

To avenge his father, he is indispensable!
After all, Yue Yunlong is not only a disciple of Guan Yu and Yue Fei, but also Wu Changsheng's adopted son.

This person was the posthumous child of Yue Zhen, the former Divine Martial Marquis of the Great Wu Dynasty.

When Wu Changsheng was young, he fell into a trap set by the Northern Di during a battle. His childhood friend Yue Zhen lost his life trying to save him.

From then on, Yue Yunlong was adopted by Wu Changsheng as his godson and treated as his own son.

As Yue Yunlong grew up, he showed martial arts talent, so Wu Changsheng shamelessly brought him here to become a disciple and learn martial arts, hoping that he could absorb the strengths of both schools.
