Transmigrating to another world, starting as a mountain god

The following day, Emperor An Yue received news that the young people of An Yue Academy had mingled with the students of Gewu Academy.

He smiled and waved away the attendant who had come to report.

"Just as Lord Li Yuan said, these young people will be attracted to each other."

Emperor An Yue was quite pleased.

In a time when An Yue was rebuilding from scratch, bringing together these outstanding younger generations to teach new ways of thinking was undoubtedly a gamble.

After all, An Yue is really busy right now and is short-staffed.

Fortunately, these young people have found a direction to move forward.

Even though it's only a promising start now, Emperor An Yue believes that these energetic young people will eventually forge their own unique path!

Emperor An Yue turned his attention back to the affairs of the Qian Kingdom, having previously focused on the students.

Recently, the offensive of the Xu Kingdom has become increasingly fierce.

While trampling the Qian Kingdom, the cavalry also frequently employed psychological warfare tactics to humiliate the dignity of the Qian people.

This is to destroy the Qian Kingdom, turn it into a 'pig' kingdom, keep it in captivity, and harvest it every so often!

If that's the case, then so be it.

But......

"Report!"

"The caravan heading to the border of Qian Kingdom for trade was slaughtered by the cavalry of Xu Kingdom, and all their supplies and provisions were looted!"

A scout rushed in with urgent news.

Emperor An Yue's face darkened, and a faint anger emanated from him.

"Has the An Yue Command Flag been displayed?"

His tone was icy, as if it contained murderous intent.

The scout was covered in blood:

"As per the agreement with Xu Kingdom, the convoy entered and exited through the border of Qian Kingdom, and the An Yue command flag was already hoisted!"

"But the Xu Kingdom cavalry pretended to let them pass, while secretly ordering their men to surround them and raise their swords!"

Emperor An Yue closed his eyes tightly, his body trembling slightly.

"They stopped cars, slaughtered people, and robbed money and goods."

"Three times already! It's happened three times already!"

"What a despicable country, Xu! How could they be so greedy and shameless!"

"Issue my imperial decree!"

Emperor An Yue roared, his powerful body jolting violently.

The attendant immediately stepped forward.

"Summon all officials to put down their duties and come to the temporary palace immediately!"

An Yue Kingdom sprang into action instantly.

Many officials handed over their tasks to their deputies and hurried to Emperor An Yue's temporary palace.

"See Your Majesty!"

The officials and ministers immediately bowed and paid their respects.

The morning court session had just ended, and Emperor An Yue suddenly summoned all his ministers together again; something big must be about to happen.

Except for the officials who were away on business, everyone else came.

Even Zhao Wanjun, who was recovering from her injuries, was summoned.

She was somewhat excited, as if she had guessed something.

After the court officials had finished their ceremonies, Emperor An Yue spoke concisely and to the point.

"The soldiers and generals of Xu Kingdom are acting recklessly!"

"Not only did they attack the Qian Kingdom, they also slaughtered my An Yue trading team!"

"I intend to dispatch troops to aid the Qian Kingdom!"

The courtiers were all astonished.

This is a decision that concerns the fate of the nation!

Some officials wanted to offer further advice, but seeing Emperor Anyue's furious expression, they kept quiet.

The chaos in Qian Kingdom has indeed affected An Yue for a long time, and this war, no matter what, should end now.

Otherwise, the people of Qian Kingdom would be displaced, and the people of An Yue would also suffer from a severe lack of resources!

"Zhao Wanjun!" Emperor An Yue looked at the woman beside his ministers.

Zhao Wanjun strode forward and announced, "Your subject Zhao is here!"

"I hereby order you, along with a dozen or so of my personal guards, to infiltrate the capital of Qian Kingdom and rescue Emperor Qian! Are you willing to obey this order?"

Emperor An Yue's eyes were full of seriousness and earnestness.

This is a matter of life and death for An Yue, and also a crucial matter for the survival of the Qian Kingdom.

Zhao Wanjun had been waiting impatiently: "This humble subject is willing to obey His Majesty the Moon Emperor's decree!"

After thinking for a moment, Emperor An Yue added, "But you are straightforward and easily bullied!"

"You are not allowed to act recklessly! Everything must be done according to the orders of my Royal Guard Commander!"

"Furthermore, you must rescue Emperor Qian before the great battle fully unfolds! Otherwise, the situation will change!"

A man with a cold face and tightly pursed lips walked out from a corner of the hall.

No one in the entire hall noticed that he had been sitting there the whole time!

The leader of the Imperial Guard was clearly a man of few words, with a resolute face, and he respectfully bowed to Emperor An Yue with clasped hands.

Zhao Wanjun shouted loudly, "Yes, sir!"

This was no child's play, and she knew that her straightforward personality made her unsuitable for planning and leading an operation.

Emperor An Yue's arrangement for someone else to lead the team actually made her feel a little more at ease.

"Ji Xiu!"

Emperor An Yue gave a low shout.

A young man with an elegant demeanor strode over from the edge of the courtiers and bowed respectfully.

"Please give your instructions, Father Emperor!"

Ji Xiu guessed what was going on, and her aura suddenly surged.

His gaze was resolute, already radiating fighting spirit.

Emperor An Yue took off his jade sword and threw it out.

Ji Xiu quickly caught it and raised the sword with both hands.

"I hereby command you to lead 100,000 elite troops and 100,000 farm soldiers from An Yue!"

"Once preparations are complete, we will immediately send troops to the Qian Kingdom!"

Ji Xiu loudly accepted the order and drew the jade sword with both hands!

Clang——!

The jade sword emitted a clear, ringing sound. Ji Xiu held the jade sword and faced the assembled officials.

At this moment, his handsome face also had a touch of domineering presence.

Many of the veteran officials were somewhat dazed, as if they saw in Ji Xiu the shadow of the powerful emperor on the throne in the palace.

Ji Xiu's voice was magnetic, and he shouted:

"General Tiger General and General Fu Long, both of you, come with me to reorganize the troops!"

Two burly men with thick eyebrows and beards stepped forward:

"According to the order!"

The group walked out of the palace, passing by the officials, and called away a few veteran generals.

Emperor An Yue watched his eldest son depart into the distance, then looked once more at his ministers:

"By my decree, all remaining soldiers of An Yue shall enter a state of combat readiness and be prepared to engage in battle at any time!"

"A strict order is issued: the people are forbidden from entering the territory of Qian Kingdom during the An Yue war!"

"Strictly order the artisans to manufacture new weapons overnight!"

"Strict order..."

One order after another was issued swiftly.

Emperor An Yue's father was the founding emperor of the Great Yue Kingdom, a king who rose to power on horseback.

Emperor Ji Yu of An Yue had followed his father in his campaigns since childhood and was already familiar with military affairs.

Only after Emperor An Yue finished speaking did any of his ministers dare to step forward and offer their advice.

"His Majesty!"

"Those new types of steel were only recently forged using a newly developed method of repeated tempering, and have not yet undergone extensive testing..."

After hearing this, Emperor An Yue waved his hand:

“No need to worry!”

"Some time ago, I asked the great demon Biao to test this newly forged steel using various methods. It is now ready to be used on the battlefield!"

The minister accepted the order and withdrew.

After the officials received their instructions and left, only a handful of people remained in the palace.

Emperor An Yue sighed inwardly.

The Great Yue Kingdom suffered a great calamity, and too many of its people died.

Of the remaining people, only about 60-70% were willing to leave with them.

The journey was fraught with hardship, compounded by illness and death from overwork... how difficult it was to cross those mountains and rivers.

Of those who actually left Da Yue and arrived at Ansan, only about 60-70% actually made it there.

The shortage of talent is a major concern for An Yue.

On Mount An.

Li Yuan was watching with great interest as Zhang Tiansheng trained Li Xiaoan's body when he heard An Yue's alarm bell.

Many An Yue soldiers began preparing provisions and equipment for their forced march.

Loud shouts echoed from Anshan.

That was the soldiers building morale and igniting their passion.

The saying goes, "If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold." The arrogant and greedy Xu Kingdom even openly slaughtered the An Yue caravan on the border of the Qian Kingdom.

Although An Yue is now impoverished and weak, with its various industries failing, it can no longer stand idly by!

This is the other party testing our bottom line!

If we remain indifferent, the day the Qian Kingdom declines will be the day An Yue suffers its calamity!

"We'll have to fight eventually."

Li Yuan sighed.

Xu Kingdom is powerful, while An Yue has not yet fully recovered from the great disaster and relocation.

If An Yue develops smoothly for ten years, it will not only become a powerful nation, but it will also have nothing to fear from other countries coveting it.

However, things don't always go as planned.

only......

After this battle, how many of An Yue's passionate soldiers will be able to return home?
