I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1935 - 1937: If You Have a Son, He Should Be Like Li Muyun

Chapter 1935: Chapter 1937: If You Have a Son, He Should Be Like Li Muyun
"Yes! Obediently follow my lord’s teachings!"
"You are teachable!" You laugh loudly, feeling extremely pleased by the sense of disciplining others!
"Everyone, except Zilong, leave."
"Yes."
After everyone leaves, you talk face-to-face with Zhao Yun. Apart from the two of you, no one knows the specific content of the conversation. Only Zhao Yun’s guards see you leaving the commander’s tent and going to the nearby stream for a bath. Zhao Yun, on the other hand, stays inside for a while longer, then walks out with a thoughtful expression to hold another pre-battle meeting with the generals.
The next day at the ugly hour, the night is deeply shrouded, as if nature itself lends a hand, covering the bright moon with dark clouds.
Leading 5,000 men, Zhao Yun quietly advances towards Lujiang City.
Standing atop a tree at a high point outside Lujiang City, you hold your hands behind your back, smiling into the early morning cold wind, gazing at Lujiang City ahead.
You did not participate in this battle, seeing no need and wanting to give Zhao Yun more experience. In your view, no renowned general is made overnight; everyone needs a gradual process, continuously learning from experiences and mistakes to transform them into energy that strengthens oneself.
Zhao Yun is still young, and the troops he leads are mostly personally trained by him, eliminating the issue of seasoned veterans who might not listen. Due to his youth, he is prone to making immature errors easily.
To you, Zhao Yun is not just one of your generals, or simply a brother-in-law; he is a good brother, needing quick adaptation to this complex and ever-changing environment to face unpredictable future events.
This Han De is not a renowned general; you have never heard of him before. Precisely because of that, you want Zhao Yun to treat him as the strongest and most cunning enemy, regardless of this man’s actual abilities, so he can truly and entirely control the entire battle situation.
At Zhao Yun’s age, he is eager to learn, like a sponge continuously absorbing knowledge and experience, growing healthy and strong.
"Zilong, tonight is your solo show; make a grand entrance!"
Accompanied by your murmur, Zhao Yun and a small team silently climb the city walls, quickly eliminating several patrolling soldiers. Soon, Lujiang City’s gates open as 5,000 prepped soldiers file in.
The sound of battle gradually emanates from inside Lujiang City. Standing high up, finally revealing a hint of smiling expression on your face, you turn to look towards the northwest direction. Though Xinye City cannot be seen, you murmur to yourself in that direction, "Liu Bei, soon we will clash again. You should have been ready for battle by now; come, let’s see who will emerge victorious!"
As the rooster crows and the sun rises, the battle in Lujiang City is already over.
You stroll alone into Lujiang City, where Zhao Yun, leading the generals, is waiting at the gate to welcome you.
"Subordinate pays respects to the lord!" Seeing you, everyone shouts in unison.
Nodding slightly, you look at Zhao Yun and ask, "How is the state of battle?"
"ing to the lord, Lujiang City is intact; enemy general Han De and his five sons are captured, with over 13,000 enemies killed. All cavalry were annihilated; the rest of the infantry have surrendered, not a single one escaped!"
The last sentence is what you most wanted to hear, and you smile and say, "Bring me Han De and his sons, I want to see them."
"Yes."
Soon after, Han De and his five sons are brought forward by soldiers. Seeing them, you do not blink and coldly order, "Behead them."
"Mercy, General!"
"Mercy, General!"
Han De and his sons plead desperately, bowing repeatedly, but you clasp your hands behind your back and look up at the sky.
After the five are taken away, you look at the general before you and say, "Do you know why I ordered their heads to be cut off?"
"These five are nothing but wine sacks and foodbags, no use whatsoever; keeping them is just wasting food." Zhang Fei speaks candidly.
You suddenly laugh aloud, "Well said! I, Li Muyun, do not need useless people under my command; what I seek is quality over quantity!"
At this moment, hoofbeats sound from the outside of the city gate, as a messenger soldier dismounts, kneeling behind you: "ing to my lord, General Li Chong has captured Shouchun at 3 a.m., defeating 50,000 enemies and beheading enemy general Li Tong. Here’s the war !"
You take the war , without reading, tossing it to Zhao Yun, laughing as you say, "Li Chong is of similar age to Zilong, your martial skills are comparable; when you have time, learn from each other, look at his war ."
Though you say this, it is known by all that Shouchun City and Lujiang City are not of the same level. But from the achievement of defeating 50,000 enemies, Li Chong’s military achievement is already above Zhao Yun’s.
"Yes." Respectfully, Zhao Yun opens the war , adopting a steady expression and losing the hint of arrogance previously seen.
"Messenger." You suddenly speak.
"Subordinate ing!"
"Tell Li Chong, henceforth he is the commander of Yangzhou City, overseeing Huainan County and Lujiang County. Additionally, all territories north of the Chang River in Yangzhou and Yuzhou are now part of Yangzhou, and he must complete this in half a month, assisted by Little Liu and Xu Sheng."
"Yes!"
This decision of yours is nothing short of grand!
The timing is perfect, as currently, Cao Cao in the north is focusing on eradicating Yuan Shao’s remaining forces, which will take at least two years. To the south, Sun Jian has just died, and Sun Ce is recently dealing with internal affairs, unable to pay attention to this matter. Only Liu Bei poses a threat, while Liu Biao is directly disregarded.
After the messenger leaves, Zhao Yun and the generals look at you, their eyes revealing confusion and a hint of discontent.
"What, upon hearing this order, do you feel discontent?"
"My lord! Subordinate does not understand why Lujiang was given to General Li Chong; it was us who conquered Lujiang." A young general beside Zhao Yun hurriedly says.
You ignore this person, instead fixing your gaze on Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun continuously frowns in thought, seeming to realize you’re watching him. When he looks up, he finds your gaze has already turned west-southward. Zhao Yun suddenly comprehends and responds to you, "ing to my lord, subordinate volunteers to be vanguard, to expand your territories!"
Turning around, you look at Zhao Yun, smiling as you extend three fingers: "I want only three counties: Jiangxia, Nanjun, Changsha!"
"Yes!"
Within seven days, news of Shouchun’s capture spreads across major factions, as Cao Cao, eating as usual, sees the and cannot help but sigh, "To have a son should be like Li Muyun!"
