Chapter 182 Anti-war and Pro-war
After the incident of buying fake tea, Liu Yun no longer had the heart to wander around. He took Zhu Yuncheng and Gan Yu to a snack shop and sat down.
"Boss lady, are you still there?" Liu Yun called softly. It seemed that she came to this shop often.
"I'm coming, I'm coming." Not long after, a woman in an apron came out. Seeing that it was Liuyun, she smiled and said, "So it's Sister Xianyun who's here. Is it the same as before?"
Liuyun is commonly known as Xianyun.
Liu Yun nodded: "Give me a few more dishes. These two are my juniors and they eat a lot."
"Okay." The woman turned and went into the kitchen, and soon brought out several cold dishes.
Liu Yun looked at the woman with gray hair and said, "What's wrong with you? Half a year ago, when I came here, you were not like this."
The woman looked sad and lowered her head. Liu Yun said quickly, "I'm sorry, I didn't know this would make you sad."
"Nothing." The woman raised her head and smiled bitterly, "It's been half a year. I've gotten used to it."
Zhu Yuncheng's heart sank: "But your husband died on the Xumi battlefield half a year ago."
The woman nodded slightly.
Zhu Yuncheng frowned, "The King of Man has ordered that all those who died in battle will be given a one-time compensation of 30,000 Mora, 100 catties of rice, 30 catties of meat, and 10 pieces of cloth. Their children will be exempted from entrance examinations and will join the Qianyan Army. Could it be that someone has deducted this?"
The woman looked at Zhu Yuncheng and said, "This young man is obviously a learned man. I have said everything you just said. It's just that when my husband went to the battlefield, the child was only one year old. We agreed to take him out to play when he returned from his three-year tour of duty, but in this last year... the child is already four years old. He keeps asking me every day when his father will be back. I don't know how to answer. If possible, I would rather not have so much Mora. I just want my husband to return safely."
Zhu Yuncheng was speechless for a moment. He couldn't possibly say that the woman's husband sacrificed himself for Guili and was a hero who defended Guili, because that would be easy to say.
He recalled the families of the policemen who died in China in his previous life, crying bitterly. Didn’t they know that their husbands and fathers had sacrificed their lives for the country?
They knew it, but no matter what great contributions he had made, once he was dead, he was dead. What was the use of any higher honor? All they could do was cry.
Speaking of the pain point, the woman sobbed softly: "Why do you think the Human King insisted on defending Wu Yu Chou Forest? Anyway, our Guili is so big, what's the point of occupying a small place? I heard that the Human King insisted on defending Wu Yu Chou Forest in order to attack Xumi."
Zhu Yuncheng clenched his fists, then unclenched them and looked at one place, where a fleeting fluctuation of elemental force immediately appeared.
"That's not right. Wuyuchou Forest is our Guili land." Ganyu said, "Wuyuchou Forest is the most important grain production area in Guili, where grain is harvested three times a year, accounting for more than 30% of Guili's annual grain output."
The woman didn't know how to answer, so she just forced a smile and said, "How can I, a woman who hasn't read much, understand these things?"
After saying that, he turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue working.
Liu Yun sighed softly, left Mora behind and stood up: "Go back, I have no appetite anymore."
Zhu Yuncheng remained silent. After asking Ganyu to pack up the cold dishes, he returned to the Human King's Palace.
Hua Hua appeared not long after returning. "Long live the Human King. We have investigated the matter thoroughly. The cause of the incident was the angry words spoken by the father of a soldier who died in the Qianyan Army while chatting with others. Thousands of families of the sacrificed Qianyan Army have already known about it. We have notified the Qianyan Army to gather these people together as a consolation."
"Don't hurt anyone, just comfort them, understand?"
"Yes."
After Huahua left, Zhu Yuncheng stood alone with his hands behind his back, looking at the prosperous Guili City, as if talking to himself: "At this stage, Guili must not show anti-war sentiment. If it does, it must be after the Demon God War."
Two days later, Zhu Yuncheng came to Xiangzuipo to hold a meeting. At this moment, almost most of the soldiers who had returned were in this area.
In the tent, all the generals saluted Zhu Yuncheng and shouted, "Long live the king."
Zhu Yuncheng nodded slightly, then stood up and said majestically: "Two years ago, this king went to the sea to fight. During this period, Xumi attacked my Wuyuchou Forest four times, causing hundreds of thousands of my Guili men to die in the battle. Now that this king is back, this passive defensive situation must be completely reversed. From today on, the offense and defense will be reversed. If the enemy can go, I can go too."
"Wow!"
All the generals subconsciously straightened their bodies, their eyes and hearts filled with excitement.
Zhu Yuncheng walked to the sand table, looked at the topographic map of Xumi and the surrounding area and said calmly: "If we want to take Xumi, do you have any good ideas?"
Huang Yu stepped forward and said, "Long live the Human King. I have a plan."
After getting Zhu Yuncheng's permission, Huang Yu stepped in front of everyone and pointed at the Chiwang Tower on the sand table: "I think that to attack Xumi, we must use ships to launch a surprise attack from the sea. There are three reasons. First, after being repelled by us six months ago, the Xumi monkeys have retreated to the depths of the rainforest. The rainforest has complex terrain, high temperatures and heavy rain. If we attack head-on, it will be a big problem for both marching and material transportation.
Secondly, Xumi has no idea that we will attack from the sea. If we succeed, the Xumi monkeys will be in chaos, allowing our army to win easily.
Third, our Guili shipbuilding technology is still mature and we can build ships that can accommodate a large army in a short period of time."
The generals listened to Huang Yu's plan and nodded, their eyes full of approval.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuncheng also said: "Okay, then follow your Huang Yu's plan. Do you have any other details to add?"
Huang Yu continued: "Yes, long live the Human King. I suggest that this time we only send 100,000 troops to go around the rear. The army will make a feint attack and force the Xumi army to deal with it with all their strength. In this way, the rear will be empty."
Zhu Yuncheng looked at Huang Yu and said, "Only 100,000 people dare to enter Xumi. Huang Yu, do you want to be the leader of this army?"
Huang Yu bowed: "The King of Man is wise, please allow me to return victoriously!"
Zhu Yuncheng did not answer, but looked at the remaining officers: "What other plans do you have?"
The generals looked at each other, and no one answered. Huang Yu's plan was already perfect.
"In that case, do as Huang Yu said. All of you, except Huang Yu, retreat."
After all the generals left, Zhu Yuncheng handed him the token representing the chief coach of the Qianyan Army: "From now on, you are the new chief coach of the Qianyan Army. You will be the one to select the 100,000 soldiers."
Huang Yu took the token and took a breath: "Human King, in fact, I want to say that only 50,000 thousand rock soldiers are enough, and the remaining 50,000 can be replaced by steel beasts of burden."
"You want to use cavalry?" Zhu Yuncheng saw through Huang Yu's thoughts.
"Special forces, for the Human King, are special forces. Pack beasts are huge and run fast. With steel armor, they can withstand many attacks. Six months ago, I led a thousand pack beasts to swoop down from a high altitude and penetrated the Xumi army formation."
Huang Yu didn't know what cavalry was. After all, there had been no horses since Guili arrived.
According to the news sent back by Shen Bujue, there are horses in Teyvat, but they all live in the territory of the lonely king of the high tower. They are extremely important livestock, and their status is equivalent to that of cattle in the Asan Kingdom of Shenzhou.
"Okay, then. I'll do as you say. But fifty thousand is too much. At most I can give you ten thousand. We don't even have a hundred thousand pack animals right now." Zhu Yuncheng patted Huang Yu's shoulder. "I'm looking forward to your performance."
