The Emperor is Above

Chapter 471 Look, Doctor Yishang of Longcheng is here!
There was a loud shout from outside the crowd, and thousands of allied forces of princes were surrounding them not far away.

When Beigong Yu and Tian Bin saw this scene, their expressions suddenly turned ugly. There were many princes in the coalition army, and it was inevitable that some people would fan the flames and watch the fun.

Although the emperor and the coalition of princes were supporting the State of Xing, the two men never hesitated to speculate on people's hearts with the greatest malice, and never ruled out the possibility that someone would gloat over the State of Xing's misfortune.

When the group of princes and soldiers who had collapsed on the ground saw their general, they hurriedly got up with a lot of grievances in their hearts and went to complain.

After learning the whole story, the dozens of allied generals who had come angrily to question the culprit were stunned: "What? You can't beat a group of shepherds?"

The entire coalition army of the emperor and the princes consists of 40,000 people, coming from more than 200 vassal states, which means there are at least hundreds of coalition generals.

When some generals who received the news late arrived and learned the cause and effect of the incident, they were shocked. Many of them gloated over the general of that vassal state:
"Zeng Xin, you said before that the troops you brought were the personal guards of Zenghou Palace, and they are one of the most elite troops in the entire Zeng State. I didn't expect that you have been bragging to us all the time!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, we brothers also find it incredible. The Zenghou personal guards are too weak. However, Zenghou is a fiefdom of the emperor's relatives. There have been no wars for hundreds of years, so it is normal for the combat effectiveness to decline."

"Even if their fighting power declines, they won't be defeated by a group of shepherds. I don't think they are that simple. They might be hidden spies."

The general leading the Zeng army was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He was so angry at the mockery of the other coalition generals that his face turned red.

Not only were they angry about their own soldiers being beaten, but they were even more proud of the fact that their elite army was unable to defeat a group of herdsmen. It was such a shame.

He immediately became furious and said, "We have traveled tens of thousands of miles from the Central Plains to this remote place in the northern border of Xing State, and you dare to attack our soldiers?"

Then he suddenly turned to the three generals who were leading the emperor's reinforcements and said, "Captains Shen Bubing, Shen Bumie and Shen Buhai, the reason why Marquis Zeng sent me to lead the army north was to respond to the emperor's call.

If the three lieutenants cannot bring justice to my soldiers, then there is no need for us to stay in the Northern Wilderness and shed blood for the Xing State. Tomorrow I will lead the team back to Zhongzhou."

Shen Buhai, who had dealt with Tian Bin and Beigong Yu, frowned slightly but said nothing. Shen Bumie had a blank expression and looked indifferent. However, Shen Bushing had a smile on his face and seemed to be thinking about something.

Before he could say anything, Yang Lezi Yaqing, who had received the news, came over breathlessly accompanied by Chai Yong: "Everyone, everyone, this is just a misunderstanding!

I also know that the meat of the Kuquan mutton in Yangwu City is extremely delicious. Since the allied soldiers haven't eaten enough, why should they rob the people of their country? Tell me and Tian Bin, the city defender, to continue to raise funds. "

"Le Zi Ya Qing, what you said is wrong!"

Shen Bubing sneered meaningfully and shook his head, "I also know the cause of this conflict. The soldiers clearly paid for the sheep, so how can they rob the people?

This group of people have money but won't sell their sheep. They even gathered together to beat up the allied soldiers. It's obvious that they have bad intentions and are deliberately provoking a conflict between us. Therefore, I think there is something wrong with these shepherds outside Yangwu City."

"Captain Shen Bubing, what do you mean?"

Yang Lezi's expression became somewhat embarrassed. Even though he had done his best along the way, it was difficult to gain even a little respect.

"I mean?"

Shen Bubing sneered, "Among the hundreds of young men, 60% are at the ninth-grade warrior level, and the rest are 20 to 30 at the eighth-grade warrior level. Which herder has such strength?
We also ask Le Zi Yaqing to arrest them all on charges of conspiracy and torture them to find out whether they are spies from the Ghost Witch Tribe or the Black Wind Tribe.

As for the cattle and sheep they are grazing, of course they will be sent to the camp to reward the coalition soldiers. If Yang Lezi Yaqing feels embarrassed and is not convenient to do it, our coalition soldiers will do it for you."

Shen Bubing's words made Yang Lezi look embarrassed. His smooth forehead was instantly covered with sweat as big as soybeans, and his back was soaked in an instant, but he dared not agree. Beigong Yu's face was extremely solemn. He had been staring at the expressions of Shen Bubing and others, not daring to miss a single glance, and thinking in his heart what the other party's intentions were.

When seeing the different expressions of Shen Bumie and Shen Bushai, Beigong Yu's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that Shen Bushing was also an ambitious person.

He seemed unreasonable and took his anger out on Huaimu and others, without any regard for the dignity of the people of Xing State, but he was able to gain the favor of the coalition forces of various countries in this way.

The 40,000-strong coalition army was divided between the emperor and more than 200 vassal states, and there were various conflicts among them. However, after entering the State of Xing, they formed a loose collective.

After rushing to the Northern Wilderness from the Central Plains, these tens of thousands of coalition troops felt like strangers in a strange land. Coupled with the conflict with the army under the command of Huo Yunyaqing in the border town, they more or less stuck together.

If Shen Bubing could integrate these tens of thousands of people together, it would be of great benefit to him, whether they stayed in the Northern Wilderness to fight against the Xianyu, Yuezhi, and foreign races, or returned to Zhongzhou in the future.

As for whether doing so would offend the ruler and ministers of the State of Xing?

The fact that tens of thousands of elite troops stayed behind to help the State of Xing fight was enough to make the people of Xinghou and his entire clan grateful. How could they dare to blame anyone?
Beigong Yu thought of this with his sharp mind, and the experienced Tian Bin also saw something of it, and his brows had already slightly frowned.

When he saw Yang Lezi Yaqing's hesitation, he immediately became angry and said, "No, even if you are a relative of the emperor, how can you torture the people under my rule for no reason?

Today, we are sending four thousand fat sheep to the camp as a reward to the army. That is to thank you for coming to fight against Xian Yu's southward advance, but it is not to let you eat enough to have the strength to harm the people of our country."

“Humph, a bunch of weaklings who claim to be the elite of the feudal lords’ army, can’t even defeat the people of our Northern Frontier, yet they slander them as spies of the Ghost Witch Tribe.

Could it be that you, the allied forces of the princes, can't even defeat the city guards under my command, and you want to slander the city guards as spies? This is really laughable!"

When Chai Yong heard that Shen Bubing wanted to severely punish Huai Mu and others, he followed Tian Bin and shouted angrily, "Anyone who dares to harm the people under my rule must first ask the soldiers of the Yangwu City Guards whether they agree or not."

"Chong-"

Following Chai Yong's angry shout, two thousand city guards, fully armed, confronted thousands of allied forces. Even though the number of allied forces continued to increase, they did not show any fear.

"What a rude person with no education and no etiquette. The second minister of a vassal state is barely equivalent to the emperor's senior official. The so-called Yangwu City Guardian is just a junior official, which is just a mere nobleman in Zhongzhou Diqiu.

You are just a small city lieutenant without any title. In Diqiu, you are at most a lower-ranking commoner. How dare you shout in front of me?"

Shen Bubing's eyes were filled with surprise and a hint of anger. Just as he was about to take the opportunity to get angry, he inadvertently glanced at the Yangwu City Guards. His pupils shrank slightly again, and he screamed in his heart, why the hell was this city guard in front of him so strong?

Since entering the territory of Xing State, Shen Bubing has witnessed almost all the military forces of Xing State, including the Black Armor Cavalry of Xing Hou's personal guards, as well as the three directly affiliated divisions, the City Guards, and the Night Guards.

During the few days in the capital, I got to know the hundreds of thousands of young and strong people in the country who were being trained. On the way north, I also met the city guards of various cities. Now I find that the strength of the Yangwu City Guards is a bit too strong!

After hesitating, Shen Bubing had to give up his plan. If he really provoked the other side and started fighting, the combat power of the other side's 2,000 people could at least kill thousands of the coalition forces.

Just when he was feeling extremely embarrassed but had no way out, there was another round of cheers like thunder, and countless people from Yangwu City who were watching the excitement shouted, "Look, the Dragon City Doctor Yishang is here!"
