The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

Yun Zhi pointed her index finger at a certain area on the map and said, "Let's attack Qingping County."

Liu Anruo looked at her in surprise, "My Lord, why didn't you choose Anfu County? It's obviously much larger than Qingping County, and we have more than enough manpower to take Anfu County."

Today, the guard has grown to 320 people, including 80 archers.

Now that the old emperor is dead, these county magistrates no longer exist, either in name or in reality, and have become ordinary people without official positions.

The military force of a county town plus the county magistrate's guards usually only has about 500 people.

However, the people in their escort team were good at fighting one against five. They could take down not only one county but even two counties at once.

However, it would be difficult to manage two counties at the same time, so we could only choose one.

"Is it because Qingping County is the lord's hometown and is more familiar to him?

As soon as Liu Anruo said this, he realized that something was wrong. His lord was not a person who acted on emotion.

There might be something in Qingping County that she doesn't know about.

Sure enough, Yun Zhi’s next words answered her doubts.

"You are not from Qingping County, so you don't know. Although Qingping County is small, it has a lot of good things."

Liu Anruo was indeed not from Qingping County. She was from Anyi County. She was spotted by the county magistrate and her father and family fled.

"What is it?"

It can make the lord give up another large county.

"An iron mine."

It is because of this iron mine that there are so many blacksmith shops in Qingping County.

Liu Anruo nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder the lord chose that place. With this iron mine, we can have more weapons."

The things needed for war are nothing more than food, weapons, and horses.

Yun Zhi rolled up the map and put it aside.

"Okay, let's go to the Guard training grounds. It's time to get them ready."

"Yes, my lord."

Guard training ground.

Seeing Yun Zhi and the other two approaching, the guards who were training stopped what they were doing and stood still in an orderly manner.

When Yun Zhi came in front of them, they called out in unison, "Lord."

Yun Zhi nodded and looked at the people below who were excited and eager to try, "You all should know that the tyrant emperor has been executed and the Tianqi Kingdom has been destroyed."

"Know!"

After the guards learned that the rebels had captured the capital, they had been waiting for Yun Zhi to announce the attack on the county town.

Now, seeing Yun Zhi and Liu Anruo coming, he immediately guessed their purpose.

So everyone looked at Yun Zhi with anticipation, waiting for her to say something about capturing the county town.

"Three days later, attack Qingping County."

After these words were spoken, the people below became even more excited.

Chen Yuanshu excitedly clenched his hands, wishing he could have a fight today.

She raised her head and met Yun Zhi's eyes. She was stunned for a moment.

At this time, Yun Zhi's voice came into her ears.

"From now on, the Guard will be renamed the Yun Family Army, and Chen Yuanshu will be appointed as the Grand General, and Li Shun as the Deputy General."

Yun Zhi had his reasons for appointing Chen Yuanshu as the general.

Among these people, Chen Yuanshu and Li Shun were the most outstanding, but Li Shun was somewhat lacking in strategy compared to Chen Yuanshu.

So after careful consideration, Chen Yuanshu was chosen as the general.

As soon as Yun Zhi finished speaking, it caused a commotion among the people below.

They looked at Chen Yuanshu and Li Shun in front of them with envy.

When Chen Yuanshu heard Yun Zhi's words, he felt a little confused about what day it was and even felt like he was dreaming.

While she was stunned, Zhao Yuaner poked her on the back.

He whispered to her and joked, "General Chen, I will be relying on you for support from now on."

At this time, Chen Yuanshu finally reacted. She pinched her thigh quietly, and after feeling the obvious pain, she lifted it up suddenly.

Looking at the lord standing there, there was excitement, gratitude and loyalty in his eyes.

Complex emotions suddenly flooded my heart.

At this moment, even if Yun Zhi asked Chen Yuanshu to commit suicide, she would draw her sword and slit her own throat without hesitation.

Facing Chen Yuanshu's gaze, Yun Zhi nodded slightly to her.

After everyone below had quieted down, he said, "Only two hundred men will be sent out this time. The rest will stay in Yunjiazhai. As for the selection of the personnel, it will be decided by General Chen and Lieutenant General Li."

"If we win this battle, we will reward our meritorious service and grant several acres of fertile land. As for those who are not chosen, there is no need to be disappointed. After all... this war will not be just one."

Yun Zhi stood in front of them and raised her voice a little, "I hope that everyone can be promoted to higher positions and achieve their wishes."

After these words were spoken, the Yun family army's breathing quickened for a moment, and their fighting spirit became stronger.

Let me ask you, who doesn’t want to be given an official position and a higher title?

As he was about to go to the archery team, Yun Zhi looked at Chen Yuanshu and said, "General Chen, please come to my study this afternoon."

"Yes, my lord."

After finishing the work here, Yun Zhi took Liu Anruo to the archery team. As for the number of people in the archery team, thirty people would be enough.

After Yun Zhi and the others disappeared, the world immediately became lively.

The people of the Yun family army congratulated Chen and Li.

Zhao Yuaner walked up to Chen Yuanshu with a big smile on her face, "Congratulations, Sister Chen, on becoming the general. Please take care of me more in the future."

The other members of the Yun Family Army also gathered around, "Yes, General Chen, please take good care of us in the future. Don't forget each other when you become rich and powerful."

Chen Yuanshu listened to their jokes and said, "I will definitely take care of you. We will share the happiness in the future..."

Before Chen Yuanshu could finish his words, the Yun family army shouted in unison: "We share the same hardship."

Because of this tacit action, the people of the Yun family army burst into laughter.

Who could have imagined that among them who were so tacitly aligned and colluding with each other today, some would die on the battlefield, while others would become traitors for various reasons and defect to the enemy one day in the future.

"Chen Yuanshu."

Chen Yuanshu turned around and looked at Li Shun who called her.

He had a smile on his face, and from his eyes one could see that he was happy that she was appointed general.

"Congratulations on becoming the Grand General, but don't even think about slacking off. When I catch up with you, I'll go find the Lord and ask him to demote you, and I'll become the Grand General."

In the eyes of others, they have always been rivals, but in fact they have a very good relationship.

Both enemies and friends.

"Li Shun, I will never give you this opportunity. Forget it in this lifetime. I will just be your deputy general, Lieutenant General Li."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The youthful vigor and vitality of young people are nothing more than this.

At 1 p.m., Chen Yuanshu finally found time.

She came to Yunzhi's study.

After sitting down, she looked at Yun Zhi on the high platform and asked, "I wonder why the lord called me here?"

"General Chen, you have been in the Yun Family Army for more than two years. Who do you think stands out among the people here in some way?"

My lord, do you want to use her to find out what talents are in the Yun family army?

The fact that the lord asked her to answer also shows that he trusts her very much.

Chen Yuanshu became excited and in order not to disappoint her lord's trust, she recalled all these people.

"My Lord, I personally think..."

Seeing that Chen Yuanshu was about to speak, Liu Anruo, who was sitting next to Yun Zhi, immediately picked up a pen to write it down.

"Zhao Yuan'er is also a refugee I brought back from my first trip down the mountain. Although her combat ability is only average among the Yun family army, she has a unique affinity and excellent eloquence. She is suitable for persuading surrender and calming the fearful emotions of the people after the siege."

"Liu Yucui, Uncle Ping'an's daughter, is above average in combat ability and possesses exceptional strategic abilities, making her suitable for being a military advisor."

"Wang Hu...his martial arts skills are inferior to mine and Li Shun's, but this is a normal fight. If it were a life-and-death struggle on the battlefield, Li Shun and I would be defeated. It's a pity that while he's brave, he lacks strategy."

Wang Hu was the one who suggested attacking the bandit stronghold directly when the plan was being discussed.

“But he listens and obeys orders whenever asked of him, which makes him suitable to be a striker.”

The vanguard is usually someone with strong martial arts skills, a morale-boosting presence.

"Zhang Ergou, a thin man with light steps, sharp hearing, and good with a dagger, is suitable for scouts."

A scout is a person who scouts the enemy and collects intelligence.

In this way, Chen Yuanshu listed all the special people in the Yun family army one by one.

This conversation lasted nearly half an hour.

……

Time flies, and three days later, it will be the day to set out.
