Chapter 15: Kill enemies and personally participate in the end The morning mist quietly dissipated, heralding the dawn of a new day. "Report——" A melodious cry, like the sound of a dawn blast, broke the silence of the military tent. "Instead of pursuing them relentlessly, the Lu family army retreated with one strike and disappeared without a trace." Inside the tent, the candlelight flickered, and the light and shadow intertwined, illuminating Tuoba Shuyi's northern noble face, with a high nose, deep eyes, and a pair of blue eyes. He frowned. "What are the casualties of our troops?" "Reporting to the Sixth Prince, three thousand soldiers of our army were killed in the battle," a general reported with his head down. "What are the enemy casualties?"
Someone in the account asked anxiously. "The spies reported that the enemy's casualties were no more than a hundred." As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the military tent, and discussions arose one after another. The Beifeng executives looked at each other with disbelief on their faces. "This is just a fantasy!" The military councillors were shocked and puzzled, "How did the Daqing army suddenly become so powerful?" Everyone was talking about it, and even the generals who knew about the Daqing army's surprise attack were shocked at this moment. Unbelievable! This disparity in the casualty ratio is truly unprecedented and shocking. Daqing's army has always been weak. However, with the spy's return report, this incredible news was confirmed. Tuoba Shuyi's face was gloomy. He asked in a deep voice: "Who is the leader of the troops?" "It's Lu Jiaxuan's second son, Lu Yu." Tuoba Shuyi then nodded slightly, with a glimmer of understanding in his eyes. Obviously, he was familiar with this name. Someone in the account has already sighed: "So it's him... Lu Yu is a man with unfathomable martial arts skills. As a direct disciple of the Three True Sect, he can break through a large formation of a hundred people by himself." "There are many elite disciples of the Three True Sect in the Lu family army, and their strength should not be underestimated." "Yes, if this person takes action, I'm afraid only the Zen masters in the Great Snow Mountain can match him."
There was silence in the military tent as everyone was digesting this shocking news. Tuoba Shuyi looked around and said calmly: "Lu Yu still has Hulao Pass. Those so-called Daqing martial arts masters are nothing to be afraid of." "The Khan has invited Master Nagarjuna from the Great Snow Mountain to come down the mountain to help. They will arrive in a few days." When these words were spoken, everyone in the military tent was surprised. "Master Nagarjuna actually came down the mountain? This is the first time in fifty years." "When the Khan was enthroned, he did not invite this man." "Haha, you don't know. It is said that Daxueshan wants to preach in the south. They are originally the Tantric Buddhism, and now they want to practice the exoteric Buddhism." “That’s how it is!” Tuoba Shuyi stood up suddenly and focused his eyes on the sand map again. The deputy general beside him said worriedly: "Your Highness, if our army can outflank us from both wings, there may still be a chance of success." Tuoba Shuyi waved his hand gently and said decisively: "The opportunity has been missed. Lu Jiaxuan had already planned to retreat and he may have retreated back to the city by now." "Pass the order down, the military town ahead will retreat immediately." "Yes, Your Highness!" the generals responded in unison. However, one deputy general had doubts: "Your Highness, could it be that Lu Jiaxuan had already seen through the Sixth Prince's plan and deliberately opened the city gates to confuse our army?" Tuoba Shuyi turned a deaf ear to this. He was too proud to believe anyone could see through him. Those who were confident that they could see through themselves have all become dry bones in the grave. He slowly took out a thick list, and when he opened it, he saw rows of names. If there were any Daqing troops here, they would be shocked, because all those recorded there were Daqing's generals, including all the important officials in the court. His eyes moved across the list, finally turning to the three words "Lu Jiaxuan". Below it was a brief account of the man's life, with a note next to it: "He was good at maintaining the status quo, but not at making progress. He is not worth mentioning." After Lu Jiaxuan, there was Lu Yu's name, with a note next to it: "Only a general." It was brief and precise, yet it expressed his opinion of Lu Yu. He gently took out the paper containing the information of Lu Jiaxuan and Lu Yu, turned the page forward and inserted it. In Tuoba Shuyi's eyes, the position of these papers in the booklet reflects how much he values these people. The further back in the paper the more importance is attached.
After doing all this, Tuoba Shuyi's heart gradually calmed down, his eyes became firm again, and he said in a calm tone. "It doesn't matter. The situation is still on my side." "So what if they win this one? The future battles will determine victory or defeat." The general in the tent. Upon hearing this, they all bowed. …… …… Yu Ke sat on the horse. Before Lu Yu could hear the result, he felt the [Kunxu Ding] in his mind vibrate slightly, as if an invisible force was pulling him. 【The time for in-person participation ends.】 Next! An indescribable force enveloped him, and he felt the world spinning around him. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back to his original residence. He opened his palm and saw that the stone he had been holding tightly had disappeared without a trace. Yu Ke murmured to himself: "It seems that the things in that world cannot be brought out by personal participation." If he could bring back the items there, it would be equivalent to him owning a Kunxu world. It seems that I still need to complete the simulation to get the reward. What a pity. The simulation does not end there. [In the early morning, Lu Yu returned in glory, wearing blood-stained armor, and killed more than 2,000 enemies. His victory was shocking.] [When Lu Jiaxuan heard the good news, his heart surged and he could hardly contain his excitement. This great victory was unprecedented for the Lu family.] [The sacrifice of 200 warriors resulted in the defeat of 2,000 enemy troops, a brilliant achievement.] [He clapped his hands and laughed, holding your brothers’ hands tightly, and said with deep emotion: “My Lu family has a son like this, what else can I ask for!”] [Lu Yu's admiration for you is beyond words. He turns to you and asks, "Brother, how did you predict that the cavalry on both wings would stop and not pursue the victory?"] [You smiled faintly and shook your head slightly, saying: "It's just luck."] [The good news that the Lu family army had won a great victory and killed two thousand enemies was passed back to Hulao Pass. The whole city was shocked, morale was high, and the soldiers were greatly encouraged. ] [The general was overjoyed and personally held a banquet to celebrate the success of the Lu family army. He also wrote a letter to the court to ask for credit for the Lu family, and the praises were endless.] [After three rounds of drinking, General Wang Yang looked slightly tipsy, and his words could not help but reveal some of the court's secrets.] [He sighed and said, "Now in the court, the dispute between the surrender faction and the pro-war faction is intensifying. The surrender faction is gaining strength and the situation is worrying."]
[This Hulao Pass has become a gamble concerning the fate of the country. ] [Once lost, the surrender faction will take full control of the court. Only by holding on can the war faction regain its strength. ] [General Wang Yang's eyes were filled with determination. Facing the enemy's massacre of the people of Daqing, he vowed to never surrender.] [This battle not only demonstrated the bravery of the Lu family army, but also made them famous. Many militiamen from other places joined the Lu family army. ] [As the war progressed, the events of that day were revealed one by one, and with your father's deliberate publicity, Lu Chen's name was also mentioned.] (End of this chapter)
