As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 101: Collaboration with the Enemy and Treason (Supplementary Chapter)
"This……"

"This……"

For a moment, the entire tent was eerily quiet.

Several generals stared blankly at the murderous General Ling Yu and the two headless corpses that were still spewing blood.

The amount of information exceeded the limit of what the brain could process, and everyone stood there, not knowing what to say.

Is this too sudden?

Are you going to take action now?
Qu Yangshu is the general! He is the nominal supreme leader of these people!
This is a crime of rebellion, punishable by death.

At this moment, the sudden voice came again.

"Qu Yangshu colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, intending to rebel. He abused his power for personal gain, replaced generals mid-battle, and deliberately sent his own son to command the army, delaying military opportunities and missing out on victory."

"Behead according to law!"

"General Ling Yu discovered Qu Yangshu's crimes. To prevent him from causing greater trouble, he took the initiative to kill the criminals to maintain the morale of the army."

"Until the imperial court issues a new order, General Ling Yu will temporarily assume the position of commander-in-chief."

The mysterious man who came on a flying bird spoke.

He stood at the door, looking at this absurd scene with a smile, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, am I right?"

Whether that unfortunate fellow really was a traitor or not is not important, let's just put the blame on him first. Anyway, what he did was almost like treason.

Just now, this person was the one who threw the sword to Ling Yu.

The handsome young man's smile is refreshing, while the killer on the other side is holding a blood-stained sword, which is breathtaking.

They are all weird.

The generals came back to their senses and hurriedly said, "Yes! Your Excellency is right!"

There is also the killer Ling Yu on the field. No one dares to bet that if they stand out, they will become the next headless corpse.

Besides, Qu Yangshu was an irresponsible general who only wanted to gain benefits and military merits.

In such a war, he did not forget to involve his own son.

To be honest, apart from his own direct descendants, there are indeed few people who like him.

Even after a brief silence, when consciousness returned, he couldn't help but want to cheer for Ling Yu.

The rage subsided, Ling Yu let out a light breath, and shook off the blood stains on the tip of the sword.

She acted in anger, but she hadn't actually thought about the consequences of killing these two people.

Killing a high-ranking officer in the military camp is a serious crime.

However, the person she trusted most spoke up at this moment and helped her arrange everything in just a few words.

Reassuring.

……

"General Ling Yu is truly a god!"

"I also saw a divine bird descend from the sky and rescue General Ling from the midst of the army."

"It seems like several generals have died in the past few days!"

"Have you heard? General Qu colluded with the enemy and committed treason. Our army could have won a great victory, but he sent his own son to lead the army. General Ling was so angry that he vomited blood!"

"Alright! Now we have General Ling leading us!"

Soldiers are not robots. They always need time to rest and talk.

A lot happened in just two days.

In the battle, General Ling killed thousands of people, and a mysterious white bird landed...

Everything can be a topic of conversation and passed on from mouth to mouth.

What's more important is that Qu Yangshu died. He was charged with treason, changing generals at the last minute, and delaying the opportunity to fight. He was suddenly beheaded by Ling Yu in the military camp.

Several generals under Qu Yangshu were also dealt with swiftly and decisively.

The news was not concealed but spread quickly.

We had just experienced a great battle, but suddenly this happened.

The nominal supreme commander of the North was killed by his own people, but surprisingly, it did not cause any major waves or lead to military mutiny.

There were a few minor messes, but they were quickly cleared up and even cheered for.

As I said, only those who lead soldiers to victory can gain their respect and win their hearts.

Following Ling Yu will lead to victory.

They had just won a great victory, with thousands of people fighting against an army of tens of thousands. The figure of them fighting the enemy like a god of death had been passed down from mouth to mouth and revered as a myth.

And what about following Qu Yangshu?

Our army is losing ground and is in danger of losing its life.

The contrast is particularly strong.

After Ling Yu arrived, Qu Yangshu also handed over most of the military affairs to Ling Yu.

He himself is of no use, it makes no difference whether he is there or not.

Now that this man has committed treason, there is no doubt about it.

Unknowingly, Ling Yu's position in the army had already surpassed that of the highest-ranking general.

……

at the same time,

"Brother, have you taken care of your own affairs?"

On the city wall, Mingchen, who was looking into the distance, turned around and looked at the person in front of him with a smile.

After not seeing him for two months, he has changed a lot.

"Um……"

Looking at the familiar person in front of him, Ling Yu's eyes flickered and he nodded slightly: "Mingchen, thank you."

He is clearly a casual and frivolous person, and seems to be out of tune with his character.

But he was strangely reassuring, as if all problems would be easily solved in his presence.

Ling Yu is a strong person and is unwilling to rely on others, but... he always benefits from this person.

Mingchen waved his hand casually: "Brother, are you being too formal?"

The familiar aroma of wine wafted over her face. Mingchen held up the glass to her and said with a smile, "Drink it as a thank you!"

This person hasn't changed at all.

Just like when we first met.

Having taken on so much, Ling Yu seemed to relax a little at this moment and couldn't help but smile: "Okay!"

Sure enough, being with him is the happiest thing.

"Brother, do you still want to fight?"

After drinking a glass of wine, Mingchen leaned against the mottled city wall and asked softly.

Ling Yu paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No more fighting."

This battle has squandered all her energy.

If it doesn’t succeed, it won’t succeed.

Bei Lie will never give her such an opportunity again.

Besides, the envoy Mingchen has already arrived and will discuss peace talks soon.

and also……

She looked back at the military camp not far away, where the firelight illuminated the tired faces of the soldiers.

She couldn't fight anymore.

Maybe Mingchen was right from the beginning.

Why continue to fight this battle?
This is a mistake.

"My dear brother, the Northern Lie soldiers killed my entire family. I have an irreconcilable hatred for them."

She lowered her eyes and told Mingchen the things hidden deep in her heart: "When I was five years old..."

It’s a very simple story, pretty much the same as Mingchen imagined.

During a border conflict, enemy troops invaded her village and massacred her family.

Fortunately, she was picked up by Hou Buchen and has been with him ever since.

She raised her head and looked at Mingchen blankly. "Brother, am I being too selfish by insisting on continuing the war? Is it just for my own personal vengeance?"

The decisive and indifferent General Ling Yu was rarely confused.

She only shows this side of herself in front of Mingchen.

She kept thinking about this question at the moment Shengzi died.

Mingchen shook his head and smiled: "Brother, you're overthinking it."

Insisting on fighting means fighting when there are conditions for victory. This is different from blindly sending troops for revenge without any consequences.

Ling Yu is the former, and everyone can see the changes she has brought to the northern border.

Sister Dai’s character can be said to be a moral model in this era. If this is selfish, then there is no one who is not selfish.

Mingchen said, "Don't put too many restrictions on yourself. Just do whatever you want! Now that you're in the leadership position, no matter what the reason, you have the right to decide the outcome."

"You hate the enemy, but do you think other people don't hate you?"

"Personal hatred does not conflict with defending the country."

"If you don't fight, perhaps the Northern Lie will continue to advance south, occupying more territory and causing more families to be displaced? Perhaps it will make peace talks even more difficult."

Once you have made a choice, don't be confused.

"Oh~"

Ling Yu nodded slightly.

She felt that maybe she needed some time to think about this matter.

……

"The situation is over..."

Beilie Military Camp,

Tian Hong lowered his eyes, looked at the mess on his side, and couldn't help but sigh.

Although the retreat was timely and no major disaster occurred, they were still defeated in the end.

Ling Yu was not dead, and a strange white bird appeared.

This battle destroyed the invincible morale of the army. Time was running out and winter was about to come.

It would be difficult to boost morale and pass the three levels in one go.

That bold and crazy young man taught him a lesson.

"Is this really my fate, Bei Lie?"

He looked up at the dark sky, his calm face gradually becoming angry.

How could Qian Yuan, who was rotten to the core, still be able to stop his army?
"The imperial edict has arrived!"

At this moment, the loud shout of the summons officer suddenly came from outside the door.

"Qian Yuan wishes to seek reconciliation, and the envoy is on his way. Whether to negotiate is up to the Zhuguo. If the Zhuguo wants to fight, I fully support him."

The flamboyant words of the imperial edict seemed to reveal the monarch's ostentatious face.

Your Majesty's message was as concise and clear as ever.

Tian Hong gritted his teeth, his eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long while, he finally sighed: "Forget it... Forget it... This old minister is incompetent..."

He sat down at his desk, picked up his pen, and wrote, "...If we want to negotiate, I hope Your Majesty will definitely ask for one person."
