Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

When night falls, everything is silent.

Yuzhou.

In an open space not far from the Tianmen Pass, thousands of soldiers in uniform uniforms stared into the distance quietly against the cool evening wind, as if they were waiting for something.

at this time--

Da da da…

The sound of rumbling horseshoes from far to near is like thunder.

Immediately afterwards, more than 200 tall figures that were moving forward suddenly appeared on the distant horizon at an extremely fast speed.

"finally come!"

Standing in front of the group of soldiers, a middle-aged man in military uniform with a stern expression stared at him, then issued orders at the same time as a man wearing the same level of armor beside him, and led a group of iron cavalry behind him to meet the approaching people.

Soon, the two groups of people met halfway, tightened the reins and stopped almost at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, the two middle-aged generals at the head suddenly got off their horses and walked towards each other quickly.

"The last commander of the Yuzhou Guard, Zhang Shiping..."

"The last general Suizhou Guard Commander Su Shuang..."

"See Mr. Xiao, see Mr. Governor."

Lu Chen sat on a snow-white, majestic tall horse, looking solemnly at the two middle-aged generals who were standing in front of the horse, bowing to him and Xiao Yun beside him.

"Um."

After a simple nod in response, there was no further text.

For these two men who each commanded 25,000 soldiers and horses, and who had obviously experienced the battlefield, they had an undisguised killing spirit, and they were not easy to mess with at first sight, Lu Chen didn't show a trace of fear on his face. , as if looking at two passers-by, Gu Bo was unhappy in his eyes.

Xiao Yun has a gentle temperament and is not as systematic as Lu Chen. She wished that people in the officialdom would hate her, so naturally she would not be as cold as Lu Chen.

She smiled slightly, then cupped her hands towards the two of them.

"For your hard work, the two generals made a special trip to meet me. I thank you here."

"Master Xiao is being polite."

After a little politeness, Zhang Shiping, the commander of the Yuzhou Guard, said: "It's getting late now, and the aura of the water is gathering nearby. I'm afraid there will be heavy rain soon. It's not suitable to hurry. At the end, the general has prepared a house to sit in the gate." The couch, the two adults and fellow robes will be wronged in the customs for one night today."

Lu Chen nodded.

Xiao Yun said softly: "General Lao, I'm sorry."

Zhang Shiping cupped his hands: "It's such a small matter, Lord Xiao, please don't be so polite."

Xiao Yun has a smile on her face, and she behaves as gentle as ever, making people feel like a spring breeze.

Everyone rode their horses towards Tianmen Pass together, and arrived at Tianmen Pass not long after.

As the first pass in Yuzhou, Tianmen Pass, which is a battleground for military strategists once the number of days changes, is naturally majestic. Most armies have no intention of attacking frontally.

Lu Chen glanced at this Xiongguan, which is definitely a spectacle in modern society, and then looked away.

He didn't come here for tourism, no matter how majestic it is, it has nothing to do with him who is destined to ascend to immortality.

"Two generals."

After entering the customs, Lu Chen suddenly asked:

"Three days ago, His Majesty issued an order to Wang Qian in the middle of the court, using thousands of miles to summon the Yuzhou Guard and Suizhou Guard, except for the necessary garrison, to immediately transfer all the troops to the dam area to wait for Xiao Shangshu's dispatch. I don't know that the army is already dead Where are you going?"

Hearing this, especially hearing that Lu Chen called their commander by his first name, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang quietly flashed a gloomy look in their eyes.

Not just them.

The guards and several thousand households beside the two of them darkened at the same time, and couldn't help raising their heads to look at Lu Chen, their eyes were full of anger.

Three days ago, Wang Gan issued an order to transfer the two guards through the extremely precious Wanli summons. The large array of Xingdao hurried to Tianmen Pass.

Not only that, Wang Gan also told Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping what happened in the court that day, and repeatedly explained in an extremely stern tone, telling them not to provoke Lu Chen, who held the sword of the ultimate way, no matter what.

No matter what Lu Chen asked them to do, they had to do it. No matter what happened, don't argue with him, let alone disobedience.

If you can bear it, you can bear it, if you can't bear it, you must bear it!

As the generals and cronies of the two guards, they naturally knew that this white-faced and beardless young man in front of him not only humiliated their Qingning Army commander in public, but also slandered His Majesty, telling them to go to the Qingning Army. Doing the hard work that should have been done by the people's husband Qianshou.

How is that different from shaming them?

How did the Qingning Army ever suffer such grievances?

They wished they could chop Lu Chen up with a single knife.

And just as they glared at Lu Chen with angry eyes, a female guard behind Lu Chen who was wearing a special black suit made by the Xuanwu Guard suddenly turned cold, and immediately moved forward to Lu Chen's side, and at the same time pressed her right hand hard. On the hilt of the long sword at his waist, incomparably thick spiritual power poured into the blade rapidly.

In an instant, a cold light circulated in the scabbard.

Xiao Yun glanced at her calmly, but didn't say much.

Lu Chen naturally noticed the unkind eyes around him, but there was no wavering in his heart. After all, this was his goal.

Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping didn't care about the stunningly beautiful woman. After suppressing the urge to chop Lu Chen up with a knife, Su Shuang suppressed the anger and disgust in his heart and said to Lu Chen:

"Returning to the governor, after receiving His Majesty's order, the various passes and barracks garrisoned to the nearest dam area the day before yesterday, and the fastest has arrived halfway, and seven days at the latest, the two guards and the entire army have 50,000 soldiers Then you can reach the dam area as many as possible."

Hearing this, Xiao Yun frowned slightly, and Lu Chen even sneered from the bottom of his heart.

Before setting off, he and Xiao Yun had carefully studied the map of the Yu and Sui states and the marching speed under the blessing of the official formation, and even counting the bad weather, the two guards could all reach the dam area within six days at the latest .

It's been three days now, seven more days? If no one is involved in this, the dog next door will not believe it.

Thinking of this, he said expressionlessly, "It's too slow."

Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang seemed to have expected that Lu Chen would "difficult" them, and explained directly: "My lord doesn't know something, it's not that we deliberately delayed, the roads in Yuzhou are really rough, and the spring rains have not stopped recently, many roads are muddy Incomparably, the horseshoe is difficult to step on, and it is difficult for the soldiers to march, I hope that the governor will be sympathetic to the soldiers and wait patiently for a few days."

"Excuse me? Wait a few more days?"

Lu Chen smiled coldly and indifferently.

"The governor can wait, the disaster will wait for you!"

He didn't bother to pierce the excuses of the two, and directly said in a cold voice: "The flood situation in the upper reaches of the Qingjiang River is becoming more and more serious. If you delay for one more day, you will have a greater risk of breaking the embankment. Once the embankment breaks, the middle and lower reaches will be devastated. I sympathize with you." Wait, will God sympathize with the countless people along the coast?"

Hearing this, the two of them didn't take it seriously.

In their universal concept, they are military generals, they are members of the army, and what they have to consider is how to win the battle, military merit, and how the people are. That is something that civil officials have to consider. What does it have to do with them?

Lu Chen didn't care what they thought, and didn't give them any chance to argue.

Clang!

A golden light flashed, and the extreme sword, which symbolized the supreme imperial power, was pulled out abruptly.

"Pass down the governor's order, ordering the whole army of Suizhou and Yuzhou Wei to march at an accelerated pace, and must arrive at the dam area within four days. Those who fail to arrive will be punished as the crime of delaying the military aircraft! No mercy!"
