What he thought was a temporary escape from the edge, in Ying Yue's eyes, turned out to be timidity and retreat.
What he thought was to shrink his troops was, in the eyes of the people of the world, frightened to death by the demon guards of the puppet Zhou Dynasty.
For a time, the reputation of An Qing, the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was pushed to a new peak.
"Have you heard? That demon Yuan Lie was scared away by our demon-suppressing guards!"
"More than just scared away, I heard that he retreated three hundred miles overnight and evacuated Chuzhou directly!"
"The Demon Suppressing Guard is mighty! Your Majesty is wise!"
"With Your Majesty and the Demon Suppressing Guard here, our Great Zhou Dynasty will surely be able to regain its glory!"
Similar discussions can be heard everywhere in the streets of the Pseudo Zhou Dynasty.
The people rushed to tell each other, and their joy was beyond words. They seemed to have seen the day when Yuan Lie was executed and the lost territory was recovered.
And all of this was continuously transmitted to Ying Yue’s ears through various channels.
In the palace, Yingyue listened to Yang Ding's report with a meaningful smile on her face.
"The people's support can be used." She sighed softly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yang Ding also looked happy, "Now in our territory of Great Zhou, the people's hearts are full of excitement and their morale is high. This is all due to your majesty's strategic planning."
"This is not due to me alone."
Yingyue waved her hand and pretended to be humble and said, "Among them, there are also contributions from brother Ye Cheng and sister An Ning.
Without their one million Zhengyang Pills and their letter of credence that spread all over the world, how could my demon-suppressing guards be so powerful? ”
Her words were impeccable. She not only affirmed the contributions of her allies, but also took the greatest credit on herself without leaving any trace.
Yang Ding nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and his admiration for His Majesty grew a little more in his heart.
"Your Majesty, now that Yuan Lie has retreated, General Chen Ping has followed your deployment.
He has begun to fight steadily and gradually regain the lost ground. What should we do next?" Yang Ding asked.
"Next step?" Yingyue walked to the map and her eyes fell on the vast land of Chuzhou. "Yuan Lie has retreated, but the walking dead are still there.
He wanted to withdraw and gather strength. We can't give him this chance. "
"Pass my will." Yingyue's tone became serious.
"I ordered Chen Ping not to rush for success, but to take recovering the lost territory and appease the people as his top priority.
I want to turn Chuzhou into an impregnable fortress!"
"At the same time, we will mobilize 50,000 soldiers and horses from the Gyeonggi Camp and immediately go to the front line of Chuzhou, under the unified command of Chen Ping!"< br/>
"What?!" Yang Ding was horrified, "Your Majesty, you need to increase the number of troops? The strength of the Gyeonggi camp is not large. If you deploy another 50,000 troops, the capital's defense will be empty!"
What she said was justified.
Yang Ding opened his mouth, but found that he could not refute at all.
Yes, now the whole world knows that Dayan and Puppet Zhou are allies who "feel like brothers."
Empress Dayan and Empress Zhou were even more "sisters".
At this time, the puppet Zhou Dynasty increased its troops on the front line. If Dayan did not provide additional assistance, wouldn't he be stabbed in the back by the people of the world?
Thinking of this, Yang Ding finally figured out what was going on.
"Your Majesty, how high is it?"
An Qing smiled slightly, "It's all for us, Dazhou. I don't think Sister An Ning wants to see her own land being poisoned by poisonous corpses without intelligence, right?"
This move is really too high!
“Go and do it.” Ying Yue waved her hand, “Remember, make the noise bigger.
I want brother Ye Cheng to know that I have staked the fate of the country for this battle.
He should know what he should do.」
“Wei Chen... obey the order!”
Yang Ding bowed and retreated, but his heart was in turmoil.
A war without gunpowder was quietly unfolding between Dayan and the Puppet Zhou Dynasty.
And their Majesty has the upper hand in this game.
At this moment, Yang Ding understood that kindness could also be used as a conspiracy.
No wonder, the ancients have an old saying called moral kidnapping.
At the same time, dust was flying at the border of Liangzhou.
The 30,000 demon-suppressing guards led by Chen Ping have a neat military appearance and a rainbow-like momentum.
Each of them had a trace of expectation and nervousness on their faces.
Because they knew that what was coming was the key to determining whether they could gain a foothold on the Chuzhou battlefield, one million Zhengyang Pills from Dayan.
In the distance, a large convoy, escorted by hundreds of Dayan cavalry, slowly approached.
The leader is a demon general wearing a Dayan official uniform with a fierce temperament.
Judging by his aura, he is at least a demon king.
If it were before, Chen Ping would have already copied the guy by now.
Fortunately, he knew that Dayan is a place where humans and monsters coexist, so this scene is normal.
"Chen Ping, the commander of the demon guards in Dazhou Town, met the general." Chen Ping bowed and saluted with a very low posture.
The demon general quickly got off his horse, stepped forward quickly, and supported Chen Ping with a warm smile on his face.
"There is no need to be polite, General Chen! I am Dai Li, the Divine Dog King of Dayan, and by the order of my Majesty, I have come to escort the general with military supplies.
The general is the pillar of the country. Liang ran into danger for the people of the world, and Dai was filled with admiration."
Dai Li's words were so sincere that the generals behind Chen Ping felt a little warm in their hearts.
Only Chen Ping sighed in his heart, this is really a demon king.
But it’s a sigh of relief, and we still have to put in enough effort to save face.
Chen Ping stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you're welcome."
Chen Ping said, "Fighting the tide of corpses is the responsibility of our soldiers.
It's your country's generous donation and help in times of need. This kind of kindness will be borne in mind by everyone in the Zhou Dynasty."
"Hey, the general said it wrong!" Dai Li waved his hand and said with a serious face, "My Majesty often said that Dayan and Zhou have the same roots and have the same sympathy as brothers.
Now that Chuzhou is in trouble, I, Dayan How can we just sit back and watch? Allies are supposed to help each other, so how can we talk about kindness? "
He held Chen Ping's hand as cordially as if he had not seen him for many years.
"These one million Zhengyang Pills are just the first batch.
Our Majesty has ordered that the rear workshops are working day and night. General Ye has also personally supervised the production to ensure that subsequent pills will be continuously delivered to the general's hands!"
"General Chen, just go ahead and fight!
There is no need to worry about the elixir!
Our Majesty said that even if the treasury is empty, the soldiers of our allies will never face the walking dead with bare hands! 》
Dai Li's words were like a warm current flowing into the hearts of all the Pseudo Zhou soldiers present.
They originally had doubts about this alliance. After all, the two countries were once enemies.
But now, looking at the heavy boxes of pills in front of them and listening to Dai Li's impassioned speech, the last trace of doubt in their hearts disappeared.
"General, please inspect the goods!"
Dai Li waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately opened dozens of large boxes.
