Chapter 39: A Woman Concerning Royal Dignity

Yang Ding returned to his post in the palace in a daze. Thinking of the humiliation Li Shi had given him during the day, and Liu Xie took action to leave the last bit of dignity for himself at critical moments, his heart was complicated and difficult to understand for a while.

I hated Li Jue's ruthlessness, annoyed Li Shi's humiliation, and the guilt I felt in the face of Liu Xie. Although Liu Xie was still cold to him, after this, Yang Ding had some clarity.

At that time, Liu Xie did not want to win over him as before, but just to maintain the dignity of the royal family. As a veteran, he had no great wisdom, but he also had some of his own survival wisdom. After many twists and turns, he gave up on returning to Li Jue or Guo Si. Just look at Li Shi's courage to humiliate him so unscrupulously, and you know Li Jue's attitude towards him. After today, Li Shi has no choice but to deal with Liu Xie. This hatred may still fall on him, and there is probably no hope for him.

Even... If you lose your identity as the commander of the palace guards, don't say it, you may not be able to save your life.

As the sky gradually darkened, Yang Ding leaned on the corridor column aside without any hesitation, his face full of bitterness. As he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he suddenly realized that he had no other way to go except to hug Liu Xie's thighs.

Thinking about it, this is really ironic. A month ago, I was regarded as a guest of honor by the emperor and was treated very well, but I looked down on others and even secretly disdained me. Now I am at the end of the road and look around and find that the only thing I can vote for is Liu Xie. This damn world!

Perhaps, it may not be a bad choice!

Shaking his head, thinking of the decisiveness and toughness that Liu Xie showed when he defended himself during the day, even if he, a veteran of war, was stunned by Liu Xie at that moment. It was hard to imagine that he was a doll just in his early teens.

At the same time, after dinner, Liu Xie, who was preparing to rest, found that his achievement point was increasing rapidly. Although it was not a surge, his achievement point had increased by more than a thousand points since the afternoon. What does this mean? Liu Xie naturally knew.

The afternoon incident probably made many palace guards have a certain recognition of themselves in their hearts. Fame is invisible or intangible, and for ordinary people, it is not very useful for life, but it does not mean it is useless, especially at the height of Liu Xie at this moment. As long as the time is ripe, Liu Xie believes that at least these people can be used, although not many, in this Chang'an City, these people may be of great use at critical moments.

Yang Ding's mentality change was impossible to learn from the system. Although Liu Xie was a little surprised at the speed of the increase in achievement points, he did not expect that this general who had been used by him had turned his mind to him this night.

For Liu Xie, the dream battlefield has almost replaced sleep, and he learned military strategies. In the second half of the night, he was a little awkward to control the battle formation of thousands of people, especially when the military discipline of the Yellow Turban Army was almost zero. In the time of a battle, in addition to defending the enemy, he also had to use all methods to raise the military discipline of the army. He was not expected to prohibit the orders, but at least he had to be able to stabilize his position, so that a thousand people would not be able to mess around like headless flies, and a pile of loose sand was crushed, but that was all.

As for turning the situation around, Liu Xie did not consider it for the time being. Although he could already play some role, his teammates were always so friendly to the enemy. Looking back at the Han army commanded by the system when the system allowed him to experience the command of thousands of troops, he was able to more and more understand how big the gap between the elite and the mob.

When I read history books in my previous life, Liu Xie always thought that it was painted or exaggerated by some classic battles, such as during the Northern Song Dynasty, the Battle of Jin and Liao, the Battle of Bud and Dagang, and the Jurchens defeated the 700,000 army of the Liao Kingdom with 20,000. At that time, Liu Xie's first reaction was incredible.

How to fight 20,000 to 700,000? At least it borrowed fire in the Battle of Red Cliff. After the food was cut off in Guandu, it took Cao Cao seven or eight years to annex Yuan Shao's territory. Moreover, it was because the two sons of the Yuan family fought against each other that Cao Cao took advantage of the situation. Otherwise, the battle would delay a longer time. Even if he borrowed the territory, it would be too exaggerated, unless the 20,000 people were all powerful generals like Lu Bu.

This was Liu Xie's perception at that time, but now, with the continuous actual combat on the dream battlefield, Liu Xie knew that such a battle sounded a bit fantasy, but it was not impossible.

The commander's wrong military order is enough to lead to the collapse of a battle. Moreover, the number of people in this large-scale battle is important, but more importantly, morale is morale. Once morale collapses, 700,000 people. The people in front want to run back, and the people behind have to rush forward and become a mess. Although there are few people on the other side, morale is like a rainbow. If the order is the same, the top and the bottom are united, this mythical battle is not impossible.

When fighting, it is not that the more people the stronger the more people. If the commander cannot make the troops under his command unite and coordinate, the embarrassment of collision between the various legions is likely to occur. At this moment, Liu Xie's eyes, the reason why this battle was defeated was entirely because the Liao Lord himself was killed. The thing that could have been solved by 100,000 people, but he had to make 700,000 people pretend. The Liao Lord himself was obviously not enough to command a battle of 700,000 people.

In fact, looking at the past and present, marshals who can command hundreds of thousands of people are rare in ancient and modern times, and we won’t say much about foreigners. In the 5,000-year history of China, Liu Xie’s memory has absolutely no one who has the ability to command. Bai Qi, the Wu'an Jun of the Warring States Period, was also considered one, and Han Xin, who had more soldiers and better soldiers, Li Jing of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and Yue Fei, the famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty, should also be considered one. Others may be, but Liu Xie cannot count them.

In fact, if you look closely, those famous generals who are famous in history do not command many soldiers in one battle. Some of them command thousands of people and can win every battle, but they will be like everyone else. Take Liu Xie's record in the dream battlefield. When he commanded hundreds of people, he could even break a thousand-person battle formation in the end. However, now he commanded thousands of people in the dream battlefield, and there is not much more record in a battle. Most of the time, it is after half of his own troops lost, and he is more and more capable of commanding.

It is easy to get a general in a thousand troops. At this moment, Liu Xie finally truly realized the meaning of this sentence. Leading troops to fight is the art of war, and it is not something that can be competent by simply finding someone. The acquired efforts may be useful, but when it is time to command a battle of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, generals of this level will be rare in a thousand years!

During the Three Kingdoms era, those who claimed to be a gathering of stars but were able to command the battle of 100,000 people, Liu Xie calculated carefully that Cao Cao should be one. If there was no such fire in the Battle of Red Cliff, the outcome would be unknown. Moreover, Cao Cao experienced too many battle formations in his life and had rich experience.

After Cao Cao, Zhou Yu was counted as one. This was a talented general and Lu Bu was counted as one. Although the historical evaluation was not high, this person was a world among the princes of the Three Kingdoms. He was purely brave and commanding ability. If Sun Ce had not died too early, he would have counted as one.

As for Zhuge Liang... Liu Xie thought carefully and shook his head. Wu Hou's civil and military skills were beyond doubt, but he was wrong because he was born at the wrong time and was in trouble in Shu. Although he had experienced many wars in his life, he had a limited terrain and population in Shu. He had basically never fought a battle with more than 100,000 people. However, his cheap relative should be considered one.

Many people think that Liu Bei was crying, but if we look at the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei's ability to command was not bad during the Three Kingdoms period, and perhaps not as good as Cao Cao, Zhou Yu, and Lu Bu, but not much worse. Although the Battle of Yiling was defeated by Lu Xun, before that, he was almost suppressing the Eastern Wu.

Of course, in Liu Xie's view, although these people are the best in the era, in terms of command alone, they are not as good as those of Bai Qi, Han Xin, Li Jing, and Yue Fei.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Just as Liu Xie was wandering outside the sky and letting Yuxiu and Wan'er help him clean up, Wei Zhong came outside the door and said with his waist bent.

"Oh?" Liu Xie turned his head and looked at Wei Zhong, waved his hand and said, "Go down first, come back later."

"Yes~" Yuxiu and Wan'er bowed to Liu Xieyifu obediently.

"What's the matter? It's mysterious." Liu Xie signaled Wei Zhong to come in, and asked while tidying up his clothes.

"Your Majesty, I just learned something from the servants in Li Jue's mansion, which is related to the royal face." Wei Zhong said solemnly.

"Say." Liu Xie raised his eyebrows and looked at Wei Zhong.

"Your Majesty, can you tell me that Li Jue plundered a beauty from Yingchuan?" Wei Zhong bowed.

"I naturally know that if it weren't for Li Li's affairs, I'm afraid Li Jue would have to take a concubine at this moment, but I don't know which woman it was. It's so unfortunate." Liu Xie shook his head. Although it was not recommended to force a robbery of a commoner, he didn't want to turn against Li Jue because of this, and he almost had the opportunity.

Liu Xie was suddenly stunned, turned his head to look at Wei Zhong, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "This woman is related to my royal family?"

"I dare not hide your Majesty. According to the information I have investigated, this woman is very likely to be the wife of the young emperor, Tang." Wei Zhong lowered his head even lower.

Liu Xie was stunned, turned his head to look at Wei Zhong, raised his eyebrows and said, "Tang? My Emperor's Sister-in-law?"

"That's right!" Wei Zhong nodded.

Liu Xie's heart sank. If this is the case, then he still has to worry about this matter.
