"Report! Commander! The messenger has brought another gold medal for retreating the troops!"

Wuyan Guang stroked the fifth gold medal in his hand, which symbolized the retreat of the enemy. He hadn't even figured out the meaning of the five gold medals yet, and here came the sixth one!

"May I ask how many imperial edicts His Majesty issued to me to order the troops to retreat?"

Wu Yanguang looked at the messenger who came to deliver the sixth gold medal, and his tone was already somewhat uncomfortable.

"This... Your Excellency, I do not know!"

The messenger lowered his head, not daring to look at Wuyan Guang.

He didn't know exactly how many gold medals the emperor had issued to signal the retreat of troops, but he knew that four or five people had been called out to deliver the gold medals before him.

Look, all those gold medals are on the table right now!

Therefore, the messenger dared not say much, but held the gold medal high with both hands, waiting for Wuyan Guang to receive it.

"Put it on the table. I've already received five gold medals today, isn't that enough?"

Wu Yanguang didn't move this time. He was truly exhausted because he had a feeling that there might be more gold medals to come!

"Yes, then I'll take my leave!"

The messenger dared not linger here; the atmosphere inside the large tent was now extremely frightening.

All he wants to do now is quickly eat something, rest for a bit, and then leave.

However, when he arrived at the army's kitchen, the cooks were all very surprised.

"Has something big happened in the capital? Why are messengers coming one after another today?"

"This, this is confidential, I can't say."

The messenger didn't dare tell the truth. After all, he was very flustered that so many retreat orders had been given to a general for no reason.

He even felt that he couldn't stay in the military camp any longer and needed to change horses and leave quickly! Otherwise, he would get beaten up!

In the big tent.

"General, what's going on? I heard that the Emperor sent someone with a golden token to withdraw the troops?!"

The tent flap was lifted, and several men who looked like generals walked in!

Yelü Dezhong, Qulichuqing, Zhierfulang, Dongxianwenrong, Wulikean, and Princess Dalibo walking at the very back.

These six men were all generals under Wuyan Guang!

As soon as they entered the tent, they were stunned by the sight of the golden expanse on the table!

"General, what's going on? Didn't we win the battle? Why were we issued a retreat order?"

Although Yelü Dezhong was the emperor's younger brother, he had always followed Wuyan Guang in his campaigns. In his heart, Wuyan Guang was more important than his own elder brother!

"Six gold medals to repel the enemy?!"

Dalibo was also dumbfounded. As the Princess of Tianshou of the Liao Dynasty, she certainly knew what the gold medal for withdrawing troops meant.

Six sides—in the history of the Liao Dynasty, no one had ever been able to take six sides at once!

"Not just six, but six in a row. I suspect there will be more to come."

Seeing the expressions on the faces of his two subordinates who had connections to the royal family, Wuyan Guang felt a little better.

At least, the royal family members under his command have treated him fairly well!

"What is Your Majesty doing?"

Yelü Dezhong's fiery temper flared up immediately. As the leader of the Eleven Luminaries among the Star Generals, Yelü Dezhong, the Sun Star Lord, was second only to Wuyan Guang among all the Star Generals, and he also had a very bad temper.

In Yelü Dezhong's eyes, his elder brother Yelü Yanxi was just a hunter who was completely incapable of governing the country. He was only destined to be the ruler of Liao, so he had no choice but to accept the position.

If Heaven had other options, Yelü Dezhong felt that he was more suitable for the throne than his elder brother.

"Your Majesty is really being too reckless."

Dalibo also said, "What is Your Majesty doing? Yelü Erliduo fought so badly before, even losing Huanglong Prefecture, but I didn't see Your Majesty punish him at all."

Why are we being urged to retreat now that we've won a battle?

"It must be that good-for-nothing Erido's doing! He can't win himself, and he won't let anyone else win either. He just wants everyone to lose so that he doesn't seem so bad!"

"Your Highness is easily swayed; this Erliduo is definitely doing it on purpose!"

Yelü Dezhong stated that although Yelü Yanxi was not a wise ruler, he had one advantage: he listened to advice.

However, the downside is that he is too easily persuaded. Sometimes he can't even see that the situation is not like that, and then he believes others' advice!

You're so obedient to advice, you should learn something good from it!

Why do they have to learn such rubbish?! It's unbelievable!

Wuyan Guang is leading his men in a very good fight, suppressing the Jin people's offensive momentum and even starting a counterattack. If this continues, Huanglong Prefecture may be able to return to the Liao people's hands in a while.

It must be that Yelü Erliduo saw the battle report and felt that if Wuyan Guang achieved such a victory, it would be a disgrace to him, so he wanted Wuyan Guang to retreat.

That damned Yelü Erliduo, he keeps ruining things!

Yelü Dezhong and Dalibo were very dissatisfied, and the two of them cursed and swore, but the remaining Qulichuqing and the others did not dare to say a word.

There was no way around it, because whether it was Yelü Erliduo, Yelü Dezhong, or Dalibo, all three of them were members of the royal family and shared the same blood, so they could dislike each other.

However, the others present, including Wuyan Guang, were not of the same status as them, so they could only feel angry but dare not speak out.

"Report! Another imperial edict from the capital has arrived, ordering the troops to withdraw!"

Just as everyone was pondering what to do with the six gold medals for retreating the troops, news suddenly came from outside that another gold medal had arrived from the capital!

"Bring him in and ask him some questions."

Wuyan Guang gestured to call the scout in.

This scout was a straightforward guy; he shouted as soon as he saw someone:

"His Majesty's decree and the gold medal for retreat are here. Please proceed, General... Huh?"

The messenger was stunned before he could finish speaking.

Because he could see very clearly that there were already five gold medals exactly like the one in his hand on the table in the main tent, and even the commander-in-chief had one in his hand!

Even the messenger, who had seen many big scenes, was dumbfounded at this moment.

Seven gold medals to repel the enemy? General, how badly did you fight that the Emperor treated you like this?

"This is outrageous! Who does Yelü Erliduo think he is?! Let me go back and teach him a lesson!"

Yelü Dezhong had a fiery temper and could flare up at any moment. He immediately prepared to return to the capital to demand an explanation from Wuyan Guang.

"Your Majesty, if you withdraw, what will happen to the Sun Star Array?"

Qu Li Chuqing asked the question.

"Dongxian Wenrong!"

"The general is here!"

"You are the general of the Southern Mars constellation. When I'm not around, please take care of my Sun Array for me!"

Yelü Dezhong was really angry. He wanted to return to the capital immediately and question Yelü Erliduo about what he was up to!

Then Yelü Dezhong lifted the tent flap and went inside, and Wuyan Guang, unusually, did not stop him.

"General, please believe my brother, this was definitely done by Erliduo!"

Dalibo did not leave, but instead assured Wuyan Guang.

But this time, Wuyan Guang refused to accept the apology and slammed the gold medal he was holding onto the table!

"It's alright. I'd like to see for myself whether, in the Emperor's eyes, I, Wuyan Guang, and all my elite troops are just things that can be summoned and dismissed at will!"

"He's awarding gold medals, right? Great! Let me see how many he awarded in total!"
