My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

Chapter 228: Too strong of a daddy

Tiandu, the cold winter has gone, but the chill has not completely dissipated. Snow falls from time to time on the treetops in Xie's courtyard. The last snow before spring was a bit heavy, but this year's harvest in the fields should be good. , it will be a good harvest year.

This is not Lu Xuan's first visit to the Xie Mansion, but today, the atmosphere in the room seems slightly different.

His eyes swept over Xie Yun. Among the two young masters of the Xie family, Lu Xuan actually felt that Xie Hui was more suitable to be the successor, regardless of their positions.

As for Xie Yun, I don't know how to put it, he must have the ability, but his sense of superiority from the inside out makes people very uncomfortable. When talking to others, I always feel that his nostrils are pointed at me.

Xie Hui was not present, which meant that today's matter was only related to Xie Yun.

"Is Feng Xian here?" Seeing Lu Xuan, Xie Yao smiled and motioned for him to sit down.

"Why is my father-in-law looking for me?" Lu Xuan sat down as he said, looked at Xie Yao and said with a smile, probably already guessing the purpose of Xie Yao looking for him this time.

"The supplies for the troops have been prepared. This time, the Tiandu Forbidden Army, Huben, and Shesheng are all dispatched. Fengxian has experienced wars for a long time and is proficient in the art of war. In your opinion, who can take command?" Xie Yao asked with a smile.

Lu Xuan looked at Xie Yun, but saw Xie Yun's smiling eyes filled with expectation.

Isn't the answer obvious? Lao Xie is asking people with the answer.

From the beginning, Lu Xuan knew that it was unlikely that he would be the commander of a war of this level. It was not a matter of qualifications, status, or merit, but the political capital behind the reputation brought by winning this battle was very important to the Xie family. , so he is more likely to be a nanny for others, but he knows better that if he wants to appease himself, he must show enough sincerity.

"If we have to choose between the two young masters, Mr. Hui is more suitable." Lu Xuan avoided Xie Yun's eager eyes and sighed: "Father-in-law, I know that my father-in-law brought Mr. Yun here today because he wanted Mr. Yun to be the commander-in-chief. I am also willing to protect each other, but fighting is not a child's play. It's easy to talk about other things, but in this matter, I hope my father-in-law can choose Mr. Hui."

Xie Yao was stunned when he heard this, and after a moment he couldn't help laughing and said: "Fengxian is still as upright as ever, but what if I must choose Yun'er?"

"If Mr. Yun is willing to listen to me, that's fine." Lu Xuan didn't argue with reason and thought for a moment before saying.

Xie Yao is still very satisfied with this. Although Lu Fengxian has his own persistence, he is not a stubborn person. And the most important thing is that he thinks about the problem from the perspective of the Xie family. This is what makes Xie Yao most satisfied. .

"The appointment from the imperial court should be coming soon. You go and prepare. Although you are not in charge this time, I still hope that you can go out with the army and help Yun'er." Xie Yao looked at Lu Xuan and said with a smile.

"My son-in-law understands." Lu Xuan nodded understandingly.

Xie Yao asked Lu Xuan again about how he planned to fight in this battle. Lu Xuan gave some suggestions of his own, especially regarding water attack, which must be taken seriously.

"Did you hear everything?" After Lu Xuan left, Xie Yao looked at Xie Yun who looked unhappy and said, "Please remember everything Fengxian said."

"Dad, I got it." Xie Yun was a little impatient.

"You, if you want to achieve great things, you need to be tolerant. Although Fengxian didn't choose you, he said it was for the Xie family's sake. Hui'er is indeed more suitable than you to take charge this time. At least he can tolerate others. "Seeing Xie Yun's expression, Xie Yao felt a little dissatisfied, and frowned and said: "Also, Fengxian is an important minister of my Xie family. I am accompanying you on this expedition. It is for the sake of my father. You must not be disrespectful."

"Yes, please remember this, kid!" Xie Yun took a deep breath, suppressed his annoyance, and saluted Xie Yao.

"It would be great if you remember. Take the Yunzhi that was sent back from Huangzhou a few days ago and deliver it to Fengxian's house personally!" Xie Yao wasn't sure what the sheep-like monster Lu Fengxian was talking about was. In the mountains, the only thing similar to Lu Xuan's description is this kind of cloud beast. It looks like a sheep, sounds like a beast's roar, and swallows gold and iron. It is unknown how it tastes, but generally the flesh and blood of monsters are nourishing to warriors. effect.

Since Lu Fengxian was asked to help his son become famous, and he was already very sensible, and he couldn't give him meritorious service, he would naturally have to give him enough other benefits.

"Dad, are you doting on him too much?" Xie Yun said dissatisfied: "He is not really the son-in-law of the Xie family, he is just..."

"Shut up!" Xie Yao angrily yelled, "Besides family background, do you have anything else in your eyes? Even if a fifth-grade master doesn't rely on the Xie family, he can still build his own family and family. It is said that it works for ordinary people and ordinary masters, but for fifth-grade warriors, you have to coax them. If you want to achieve great things, you rely on these people. Without them, even if you are a prince, it is useless. In the battle of Dongzhou, How many princes died without even touching the Falling Star Valley?"

When Xie Yao was angry, Xie Yun suddenly became as scared as a quail and didn't dare to speak. "Let me tell you, in the entire Daqian court, including the three major aristocratic families, the royal family, and the nobles from all over the country, the total number of fifth ranks is only twenty. A fifth-rank martial artist is much more valuable than a so-called son of a noble family like you. I am willing to help you make a name for yourself first, so just go ahead and laugh. If you dare to treat Fengxian like this with me again, if this happens again in the future, let it be your brother!" Xie Yao snorted coldly: " Why don't you go and give gifts!"

"yes!" What is absolutely unacceptable is that he is the heir to the Xie family.

That day, with a droopy face, Xie Yun personally delivered Yunzhi, who had just been sent from Huangzhou, to Lu Fengxian's house. He still did some superficial work, but his face was hard to look good, and he left after saying a few words.

In the afternoon, Xie Yao sent someone to deliver five thousand spiritual stones and ten thousand taels of gold.

"General, is this the benefit you said?" Niu Ba fumbled with the five hundred spirit stones that Lu Xuan gave him, smiling from ear to ear. Ever since he followed Lu Xuan, he had never broken the spirit stones for practice. , there is never any shortage of money.

"Is this sheep delicious?" Gu Hui couldn't put it down and touched the two clouds. She turned to look at Lu Xuan. As soon as she opened her mouth, her saliva was already flowing out. She wiped it hard and said, "When should we eat?"

Is there really such a thing?

Lu Xuan looked at the two clouds and felt that this world really has everything. As for whether this thing is delicious, Lu Xuan doesn't know, but it looks like a sheep, so let's eat it.

"Call the brothers over here, and I will teach you a new way to eat it today." Lu Xuan waved his hand and put the remaining spirit stones into his Qiankun Borrow, saying loudly.

"Okay~"

Different from the lively and joyful atmosphere here in Lu Xuan's place, everyone in the sky paid great attention to this dispatch of troops to Yunzhou from top to bottom. A large amount of supplies began to be transported to the other side of Longxing County. At the same time, the Forbidden Army, Shesheng Camp, and Huben Army also began to mobilize.

The candidate for the commander-in-chief was decided the day after the conversation with Xie Yao. Xie Yun took command. Lu Fengxian, as a third-grade bandit general, had a higher position than Xie Yun. Naturally, he could not be his deputy commander, but he was in charge of logistics and supplies. In theory, It was mutual cooperation, but in fact, it was to protect Xie Yun. In addition, Xie Yao also assigned Xie Yun sixteen Wuluo realm generals. They were not only high in strength, but also generals who had experienced battles for a long time.

The army was assembled in early March, and the Yunhe River had completely thawed. Xie Yun began to command the army to cross the river in high spirits. In order to avoid a sneak attack, Xie Yun led his masters and elites to the other side to set up camp.

"Master Yun." When Lu Xuan came to the camp, all the generals had already arrived, and they all nodded when they saw Lu Xuan.

"General Lu, thank you for your trouble." Xie Yun had done a good job of psychological construction after so many days. When he saw Lu Xuan, although his smile was still a bit forced, at least it wasn't ugly.

"It's a matter of responsibility!" Lu Xuan sat down and said: "According to the detailed information, the main force of the Guiyi Sect is now divided into the Yanzhou and Yunzhou borders to fight against the border troops. This place should be the first brigade's partial division, but the camp is the most It’s better not to stand here.”

As he spoke, Lu Xuan spread out the map and pointed at Longxing County Road: "The terrain of Longxing County is high in the west and low in the east. It is also close to the river. Although the terrain is flat, if the enemy stores water in advance, they can open the gate and release the water while our army is crossing the river. , I am afraid that the elite of the imperial court will fall apart immediately."

"Brother Lu is too cautious." Xie Yun said with a smile: "I have sent people to inspect the river for fifty miles, and no traces of dam construction were found. Moreover, the water level has not changed since the river thawed."

"You must use your troops with caution. Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. As the commander of an army, all possible dangers must be nipped in the bud." Lu Xuan clicked on the map on the table and said: "The terrain here is too easy to attack with water. And as far as I know, the Guiyi Sect began to migrate people along the river as early as winter. This move is also quite suspicious and must be guarded against. When marching and fighting, we are not afraid of thinking too much, but afraid of doing too little. Even if the other party has no such plan, I We must also try our best to avoid possible risks.”

"No wonder General Lu can win many battles, I admire him!" A general said with a smile.

Xie Yun's face was a little gloomy. At his age, it was easy for him to fall into the second grade. In addition, as the legitimate son of the Xie family, others always followed him. The most annoying thing was being lectured by others. Although Lu Fengxian's words are clear and logical now, But that smell was stronger than that of his father, especially since the generals around him seemed to agree with each other's words, which made Xie Yun even more irritable. He was the coach, so how could it be that Lu Fengxian was the one who called the shots here?

"I understand. If Brother Lu has other things to do, just go ahead and do it. I will handle the matters here." Xie Yun's tone was already filled with some impatience.

"Okay, I'll go to the rear to supervise the transportation of grain and grass. If anything happens, give me the signal immediately." Lu Xuan sighed with an ugly look on his face. Everyone in the tent noticed the smell of gunpowder on Xie Yun's body and immediately fell into silence. No one dared to say anything. In a word, everyone was relieved until Lu Xuan left.

"General, shall we move the camp?" a general asked tentatively.

"The army hasn't crossed the river yet. What camp should we move now? It won't be too late to move after the army has crossed the river!" Xie Yun snorted coldly. Even if what Lu Fengxian said was right, he just didn't want to do what the other party said, or at least delay it. Let everyone know who has the final say in this military camp!
