Chapter 1051: A Bunch of Idiots

"To the battlefield! Fight the hairy ones!"

"Protect the homeland, fight the hairy ones!"

At this moment, the sentiment for resistance across Longyan had already surged to a peak.

In Youzhou.

Three hundred thousand Tuji had already been assembled within a single day.

Since ancient times, the combat effectiveness of the Youzhou Sudden Cavalry had been recognized by the Longyan people.

A vast, surging sea of Youzhou Sudden Cavalry, and what they were equipped with was almost all the most advanced Weaponry and Equipment of this era. Refined Steel Weapons from Liangzhou! The latest Plate Armor from Liangzhou! War Horse armor from Liangzhou, Stirrups and saddles from Liangzhou... In short, almost everything came from Liangzhou.

In this regard, Liu Zheng had never been stingy. Of course, most of his money also came from arms sales. Otherwise, with the massive scale he was running now, the speed at which he burned money meant that if he didn't seriously sell Weaponry and Equipment, he truly wouldn't be able to sustain it.

Zhou Liang had been busy with all these matters ever since he received the imperial edict from the imperial court.

In Youzhou, Zhou Liang had a great reputation. It was not even a whit inferior to that of Zheng Yuxing back in the day. The reason lay in the complex Geography of Youzhou; looking up, one would see a vast Grassland, and the Qi on the Grassland had repeatedly invaded the Zhongyuan heartland in the past. In the resistance against the Qi, Zhou Liang had already made contributions for nearly twenty years.

But unlike Zheng Yuxing, Zhou Liang was a standard military officer; apart from training troops, he only fought wars.

He would never use his status as Youzhou Grand General to participate in the political Bitter Remonstrance of Youzhou.

However, any war naturally involves the whole body by pulling a single hair. Before the main force could even set out, various grain and supply units had to move first.

Zhou Liang had been busy handling these matters, then watched as his various deputy generals mounted their horses and began to head out to various places to get to work.

"General, the grain and fodder are already on the way..."

"General, the supply units have already set out..."

"It's just that, General..."

Zhou Liang looked at these files of all sizes, already feeling annoyed; hearing this, he said coldly: "Don't give me 'it's just that', there is no 'it's just that'! Tell those old fellows who like to play politics that with the national crisis at hand, if anyone dares to play tricks on me at this critical juncture, the blade in my, Zhou Liang's, hand is not blind!"

A group of deputy generals were startled and looked at each other.

"Yes, General!"

Zhou Liang snorted coldly.

Every time there was a war, those civil officials in Youzhou were always the most excited... Why? A war could fatten up too many people... All kinds of grain, fodder, and supplies—after passing through their hands, what remained was full of grease. This was also why Zhou Liang despised this environment so much.

The hairy ones...

Tsarist Russia.

A dazzling sharp light flashed in Zhou Liang's eyes. He hadn't fought a war in many years; he needed a war to prove himself. Especially in recent years, as the Liangzhou Army began to rise in fame, looking down upon the world and conquering everywhere, every time Zhou Liang heard of their deeds, he couldn't help himself...

His broadsword was already hungry and impatient!

Since a major war had finally come, how could he miss it?

However.

Who would have known.

Just at this moment, a group of people suddenly burst into his camp.

Zhou Liang's expression changed drastically, and he was about to fly into a rage; how could anyone barge into a general's camp without permission?

But once he saw who it was, his expression didn't look very good.

"Second Young Master..."

Zhou Liang stood up quickly.

The leader of this group was none other than the second son of Zhao King Xie Sheng, Xie Ping! This Xie Ping was a notoriously dissolute young master in Youzhou, always dressed in flashy, colorful clothes, and was frivolous and not of great talent. Yet, Zhao King Xie Sheng doted on his second son extremely, and after his eldest son mysteriously disappeared, he had the intention of naming Xie Ping as the Crown Prince to inherit the throne.

"Zhao King Decree!"

As soon as Xie Ping entered, he looked at Zhou Liang with a face full of disgust. Because he knew that this Grand General had never thought highly of him.

Clatter.

Once the Zhao King Decree arrived, everyone in the camp knelt down.

Xie Ping smiled coldly: "Effective immediately, Xie Ping shall take over as Youzhou Grand General, assume military command, and hold position!"

The whole place erupted in an uproar.

"What?"

"Young Master!"

"This..."

"Hold position?"

Everyone was terrified, their faces turning deathly pale.

That was an imperial decree!

The Youzhou Sudden Cavalry was to immediately go and support Liaodong and Kuye Island! Everyone knew that Kuye Island at this time was already in a precarious situation. If the Youzhou Sudden Cavalry, as the main force of support, were to hold position... then the situation would truly be dangerous!

Xie Ping's face was gloomy: "Zhao King Decree, does anyone have an objection?"

"Young Master..."

Zhou Liang was anxious and wanted to speak.

Xie Ping raged: "Grand General, are you trying to commit treason? Take him down for me!"

Several attendant guards had already drawn their blades.

Zhou Liang was furious, looking coldly at Xie Ping: "Young Master, this must absolutely not be done! Young Master, once a wrong step is taken, there will be no turning back, and Youzhou will be doomed!"

"Young Master, think twice!"

"Young Master, Youzhou will be doomed!"

The other generals also immediately realized what Xie Ping wanted to do... or rather, they immediately realized what the Zhao King wanted to do!

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha, a bunch of idiots! Idiots! Even now, can't you see it yet..."

Xie Ping laughed loudly, then narrowed his eyes: "You will know later, a bunch of idiots, a bunch of short-sighted idiots, hahahaha!"

"Seize military authority!"

He shouted fiercely.

Zhou Liang wanted to go and protect his commander's seal.

Xie Ping roared even more angrily: "Take this traitor down for me!"

"Lock him up!"

Zhou Liang's expression changed drastically: "This Tsarist Russia Army, it was you who brought them in!"

"It was you!"

Once these words were spoken, everyone was shaken to their core.

What?

Tsarist Russia Army?

Throughout the entire Longyan, everyone had been speculating whether this Tsarist Russia had secretly formed some kind of alliance with Vice Minister Liu, which was why they had invaded Longyan at this critical juncture.

It was just that...

No one had expected.

It was actually Prince Zhao!

It was actually Youzhou!

Xie Ping looked surprised, then laughed out loud: "So the Great General isn't stupid after all..."

Several guards had already tied Zhou Liang up. Zhou Liang did not resist, because he knew that resistance was useless.

The entire Youzhou...

This time, it would all be led by Prince Zhao Xie Sheng into an abyss of eternal damnation.

"Take him away!"

Seeing the now distraught Zhou Liang, Xie Ping felt so happy inside that he could not help but laugh out loud.

Once Zhou Liang and his confidants were all locked up, Xie Ping excitedly sat in the commander's seat within the camp tent.

"Congratulations, Young Master!"

"Congratulations on your great talent and strategy, which will surely revitalize Youzhou!"

"Young Master has great talent!"

In the Youzhou army, besides those people like Zhou Liang, there was naturally no lack of sycophants.

Xie Ping gave a cold laugh: "A bunch of idiots..."

"No, the entire Longyan is full of idiots!"

"Hahahaha, hahahaha..."

"Pass down the order! We set off in three days, destination, Kuye Island!"
