Chapter 120 Advance into the Imperial Capital

The first order announced by the III Emperor Valencia was nothing else, but to remove Ximen Yufeng from the position of marshal.

When the person who heard the order in a duck-like voice announced the order, the expressions of the person below were different. Some were lucky enough to gloat, some were indignant, and some were not related to me.

A rice breeds hundreds of people, and each of them is a single individual. In this battle, what do those who participate have their opinions? They also have their own understanding of Valencia's orders, and most of their understanding is based on their own interests. If they have interests related to Ximen Yufeng, of course they will be indignant.

Chen Yichi, Klinsmann's generals who left the Fifth Route Army and fled along the path showed ecstasy on their faces. Ximen Yufeng fell, and no one came to deal with their escape at the last minute, and they had nothing to do. Someone was responsible for the defeat, but they didn't need to bear this responsibility.

When Hu You heard this order, he raised his eyes to look at Ximen Yufeng. Ximen Yufeng, as a marshal, stood on Ximen Yufeng's facial expression, and could only see Ximen Yufeng's back. For some reason, Hu You seemed to feel that Ximen Yufeng's back was smiling.

Valencia's order was to withdraw the marshal, but did not withdraw the position of Ximen Yufeng as the commander of the legion. In other words, Ximen Yufeng is still the commander of the Red Fen Legion, and still has hundreds of thousands of troops under her command. Her strength has not changed.

What changed was just a name, before, but now it was called Marshal, and now it was called Legion Commander. Hu You didn't know much about the internal factions of the empire before, but after listening to what Ximen Yufeng said, he immediately understood a lot of things and understood the meaning of Valencia's order.

The position of Marshal was granted by Valencia, and it can be withdrawn if it can be granted. This is normal. This Marshal is just a false title. From the previous encounter between Xizikou and Lin Guiren, we can see that the Marshal has not had a high control over the five major legions. If there is a real uproar, Ximen Yufeng could hardly mobilize other troops except for the Red Fen legion in the headquarters.

Hu You believed that if possible, Valencia wanted to retreat the most should be the commander of the five major legions, not a marshal. Even if the marshal sounds much more powerful than the commander of the legion. However, the identity of the commander of the legion is strong and a symbol of strength.

After the removal of the position of Marshal Ximen Yufeng, the next announcement was a series of war reports. Hu You only heard a few words and didn't want to listen to them anymore. It was another lot of fake clichés. It was obvious that the Empire was completely defeated in this Battle of Man'an, but after listening to these clichés, how could it make people feel that this battle was a great victory?

According to the document of Nat Bianxuan, this time the empire fought a heroic battle in an extremely difficult situation in the environment of the enemy country. Although 150,000 troops were killed, the results achieved were far greater than sacrifice, and they had achieved national prestige.

After hearing these words, Hu You almost vomited on the spot. Is it really that powerful? If this is the case, then why did he remove Ximen Yufeng from his post as marshal as soon as he came up? Ximen Yufeng should be rewarded.

Commendation?

Yes, the envoy finally announced a long list of awards. Hu You heard his name in shock. But even he himself didn't know what kind of military merits the Empire planned to reward him and what he planned to give him.

The envoy did not say all this. It was just that the person on the list would set off and return to the imperial capital three days later. The other tribes were on standby in the city of Guigui, waiting for the next order.

The setting sun was as blood as blood, dyeing the earth red. The first Battle of Man'an began with the tacit battle of Anrong people and ended with the return of the Mandala Empire. After more than a year, both sides returned to the starting point after investing a lot of manpower and material resources, hundreds of thousands of people killed and injured.

Qingzhou is still from the Mandala Empire, and Anrong people have nothing to do. Everything seems to be different from before, and then, is there really no difference?

"What are you thinking?" Hongye's rare dress appeared beside Hu You, and asked Hu You who was enjoying the afterglow of the sunset.

After fighting with Lin Guiren for three days, Hongye brought the Nuying Army and Ximen Shuang's Red Fen Army to join forces, Hu You and the others first returned to Lingguicheng for two days.

Hu You withdrew his gaze and smiled bitterly, "I was wondering if Anrong people would go bankrupt nationwide if they paid their pensions according to our war report."

Hongye was stunned when he heard Hu You's words, and then he realized that Hu You were talking about the loss of the two armies. According to the war report of the special envoy, the imperial team destroyed four times the security forces with a sacrifice of 150,000 people. In other words, it was the Empire battle that he died 150,000 soldiers, but the Anrong troops wiped out reached 600,000.

Hongye said: "Don't think about these boring things, this is the routine. The battle reports are written like this."

Hu You smiled and said, "They dare to write too much. I don't know if there are 600,000 soldiers in Anrong's country.

OK, let’s not talk about this anymore. Come and find me. Is there anything wrong?"

Hongye sat down on Hu You's body, grabbed Hu You's hand, looked at Hu You's eyes and said, "I want to go back to the imperial capital with you tomorrow."

"You go too?" Hu You looked at Hongye with some surprise.

"Well, I miss home." Hongye replied. She did not say that she wanted to accompany Hu You, but said that homesickness meant to tell Hu You that her family lives in the imperial capital. In Hongye's opinion, some things should be the time to tell Hu You.

"Oh, okay." Hu You agreed. Hongye is no longer a medical soldier, but his military advisor, and is a guest official. As long as he agrees, Hongye can be allowed to return to the empire with him without asking about other people.

The people who returned to the imperial capital on the list of special envoys this time were all officers with generals and above. Each officer could bring a few people around him. Everyone was a general, so there were no few who could call him.

"Don't you ask what my family is for?" Hongye thought Hu You would ask about her family, but she was waiting. Who knew that Hu You agreed directly and asked nothing.

Hu You is not a fool. Although Hongye never explicitly explained the situation at home, Hu You more or less generally knew about Hongye's back by relying on his usual observations. He just never said it.

"I know, it's better to ask what else." Hu You pulled Hongye over and sat beside her. Although Hongye was older than him in terms of age, Hu You took care of her naturally when he was with Hongye.

"Do you know?" Hongye was a little surprised. She didn't remember that she had told Hu You about this.

Hu You laughed and said, "Of course I know, how can I not know my woman?"

When Hongye heard Hu You's words, her little face turned slightly red, but she was very happy: "What do you know?"

"You are from the imperial capital and grew up in the imperial capital."

"What else?"

"Your family sells tofu." Hu You intentionally teased Hongye: "You have been very beautiful since you were a child, and are known as the tofu princess."

Hongye was amused by Hu You and her eyes were almost laughing out, and she lay in Hu You's arms and gasped.

…………

After Ximen Yufeng had dinner, she was bored and walked around casually. She was going back to the imperial capital tomorrow. She didn't know if she would have a chance to come back in the future. She wanted to take a few more glances at the scenery of the northern country.

While walking, Ximen Yufeng accidentally saw Hu You. Although it was already a little dark and she saw Hu You's back, she still recognized the person as Hu You at a glance. Ximen Yufeng walked over directly.

"You little brat, you are lying to girls again." Ximen Yufeng patted Hu You heavily and said angrily.

"Hey, Sister Xiaoyu, why are you here?"

When Ximen Yufeng was patting Hu You, it was just when Hongye was lying in Hu You's arms with a smile. Hongye heard Hu You call Sister Xiaoyu and couldn't help but look back in a reflex. She had been following Hu You for some time, and she never knew when Hu You had an older sister.

It doesn't matter if Hongye doesn't look at it, but she was really shocked when she saw it. Her face turned red. It's not just to hide, nor is it not to hide.

"Red Leaf" Ximen Yufeng also saw a woman in Hu You's arms before, but she thought it was Zhebei, so she came up to take pictures of Hu You. Now she suddenly found that the woman lying in Hu You's arms was actually her childhood friend, and she was stunned.

When Hongye heard Ximen Yufeng calling her name, she was so shy that she got into Hu You's arms and shouted repeatedly: "It's not me, it's not me."

Hu You laughed out loud by Hongye's reaction. He had known Hongye and Ximen Yufeng for a long time, and had imagined how they would meet. Unexpectedly, it would be like this.

"Why are you laughing?" Ximen Yufeng gave Hu You a fierce look, pulled Hongye out of Hu You's arms and said, "Okay, don't hide, why are you talking about good sisters? If you see me, hide, come out quickly."

Hongye also knew that he could not hide now, so he had to look at Ximen Yufeng awkwardly and whisper: "I originally thought I would go to find you later, so I don't expect you to come first."

Ximen Yufeng teased Hongye and said, "You, you don't remember me if you have a lover."

"Go to you, stinky Yufeng, let's see you talking nonsense." Hongye was amused by Ximen Yufeng and couldn't help but hit Ximen Yufeng. They have been good friends since childhood, and being joked by Ximen Yufeng has brought back many childhood memories.

"I dare to hit me, let's see how I deal with you." Ximen Yufeng also felt childlike at this moment and reached out to show Hongye's itch. This is a game they often played before. When they were young, Hongye raised their hands to surrender as soon as they used this move.

"Ah, hahaha" Hongye was hiding everywhere by Ximen Yufengha, and kept twisting in Hu You's arms.

Ximen Yufeng seemed to have forgotten Hu You's existence and chased Hongye and itched.

Hu You is now happy, and he is so happy. The two women chase him and hide, which really makes him eat a lot of tofu.

The two women chased each other for a while before they stopped and gasped. The two women laughed and made a fuss. The dresses were so scattered and the light was infinite, making Hu You's eyes almost pop out.

Ximen Yufeng was about to say something to Hongye when she suddenly realized that Hu You's gaze was wrong and glared: "Look at it, go there, Hongye and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so we have to have a good chat."

Hu You would not want to leave now? Such a beautiful scenery is something that men would not want to let go: "You guys talk, I'll sit here, I'll guarantee that I won't say a word and I won't bother you."

Ximen Yufeng said angrily: "We talk about women and we don't welcome men."

"Oh, what's this called?"

There are more than 300 long horse-drawn cars, and they are on the road to the imperial capital. These horses and vehicles are exquisitely made of materials, exquisite carvings and gold-plated patterns, which show the extraordinary cost and also highlight the noble identity of the people in the car. If you compare these horse-drawn carvings with those passers-by on the road who are dressed in rags and blind eyes on the road, they will look even more imposing.

The purple mandala flowers emit a dazzling cold light in the sun. Whenever pedestrians on the road see the mandala flowers on the wall of the car, they immediately lower their heads and lean against the side of the road, and dare not make any unnecessary movements.

There are five types of mandala flowers in the world; the sky rain mandala flowers, Mahamandala flowers, Manjushahua, Mahamanshushahua, and the most mysterious purple mandala flowers that are not mixed with the other four colors. According to legend, the mandala flowers fall from the sky and fall like rain, and are the most pure and holy thing. Only the lucky ones born have the opportunity to see her. Seeing it can bring endless happiness to people.

Then pedestrians on the road saw the purple mandala badge on the wall of the car, but they might not bring any happiness. If they don’t go quickly, they will be whipped by the soldiers in the escort. Because the purple mandala on this car represents the imperial power of the Mandala Empire, disrespect to it means disrespect to the empire. The consequences of disrespect to the empire can be big or small. In short, it is okay to die or let you live, but it is just a sentence from the people in power.

There were soldiers guarding each carriage in front and back. The soldiers' uniforms were the same, but the colors were different, including black, white, red, yellow and green. Hu You was also in the carriage at this time, and his guards were soldiers wearing green military uniforms. The one who drove for him was a fat man in green military uniforms.

"Mala Gobi, what kind of carriage is this so good? I can't walk a few miles a day, and I'm almost suffocating me to death." Hu You rushed out of the car box, and made a toss next to the driver, complaining.

The fat coachman was no other person, but Hu You's old subordinate Zhu Daneng. This time Hu You entered the imperial capital, so he naturally brought him with him. This time, Hu You brought a total of three people to the imperial capital, namely Hongye, Zhu Daneng and Harrison. Among all the officers who entered the imperial capital, he was the last few people. If Hou San was not under Qilavi now, he would have brought Hou San with him.

Zhu Daneng has been with Hu You for so long and knows Hu You quite well. He knows that Hu You is not because he hates walking slowly, but because he is unhappy.

Zhu Daneng smiled and said, "I feel bored that you can't go to the car of Commander Ximen's Army. There are a lot of fun things there."

It is impossible to go fast in this long convoy. He didn't walk fast before, so he had never complained about Hu You. Zhu Daneng knew that Hu You's depressed starts when Hongye was called to her by Ximen Yufeng. If Hongye was still in the car at this time, Zhu Daneng dared to bet that Hu You wouldn't be idle and slow down, but felt that the car was walking too fast.

Hu You rolled his eyes and said, "You think I'm stupid. I'm going to bully them over there. You don't know what's going on there, otherwise you wouldn't say that."

Hu You thought about the situation in Ximen Yufeng's car, and couldn't help but feel scared. Ximen Yufeng's car was not as empty as his. Ximen Yufeng's car was simply a red cave and a hero's tomb.

"It's not that scary. Among the more than a thousand people, at least half of us want to get into that car. If you have the chance, you won't go yet. You really can't figure out what you are thinking." Zhu Daneng said with confusion.

Hu You said harshly: "You know nothing. Don't look at you being so fat. If you want to stay in that car for a day, you will be skinny and skinny. Don't believe it, do you know who is in that car?

I won’t say that Ximen Yufeng is not something that ordinary people can deal with. In addition to Ximen Yufeng, there are also the fierce Ximen Shuang in the car, Ximen Xue who is holding her torture, and the other two phoenixes. Besides Hongye, she is easier to deal with. Who do you think you can move when you enter?

This doesn't count. Haven't you looked at these guys, and your eyes were always looking at the carriage? Under such circumstances, Ximen Yufeng's car has become the target of public criticism. No one can enter. You just go in and you are still angry. You have never been killed with your eyes, you don't understand."

Zhu Daneng said: "I heard you say that, that place is almost as good as a dragon's nest."

Hu You said: "It's not that it's fast enough to compare, it's just that many people can't see the terrible things."

"I won't go." Harrison said, "After having been with Hu You for a long time, he dared to be like Zhu Daneng, and dared to insult him from time to time. At that time when he was with Hu You, he didn't speak much, he looked like a dull gourd.

Such a convoy cannot go far even if it travels all day, but only fifty or sixty miles away. This is indeed very slow for the carriage. However, the envoy has no objection, and everyone will not have any objection.

Hu You, Zhu Daneng, and Harrison talked about everything from all over the world, and then returned to the car. In the past few days, he has been thinking about a question, that is, why did Valencia recruit hundreds of middle and senior generals to the imperial capital at this time. You should know that now is not the usual time. Although the army has been transferred back to Lingguicheng, the battle with Anrong has not been announced to end, and it seems that it is not a good time to draw important generals from the army.
