233: I've never fought such a rich battle.

“Lin Yue, get out here!”

A loud shout came, and Lin Yue suddenly woke up from his dream.

Then with a “thud!”, the Encampment gate swung open, and the cold wind of the spring night roared in, making a “whooshing” sound.

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see She Jian, hands clasped behind his back, striding in first.

Following him was Wu De, his neck shrunken, carried in like a chick by the grinning Tong Wei.

The Generals in the Encampment were all a bit at a loss, staring blankly at She Jian.

Lin Yue was also astonished and at a loss, frozen in place.

Didn’t he say to leave She Jian to guard the Xiongnu tribes and prevent the Xiongnu surrendered Soldiers from having ulterior motives?

Why did he come over?

Doesn’t he know what serious consequences would result if the rear was lost!

Lin Yue thought to himself, and before he could speak, he heard She Jian’s angry roar:

“Get down here!”

“Gen-General, why are you here?” Lin Yue asked, his heart pounding.

“Oh, I forgot, I forgot that Colonel Lin Yue ordered me to hold the rear.

Do I need to ask for your forgiveness, Colonel Lin Yue!” She Jian said the last words almost gritting his teeth, one word at a time!

“No, no, how could that be,” Lin Yue stammered, at that time, in his haste, he hadn't considered so much!

It’s over, looking at the anger in She Jian’s eyes, he felt like he was going to be barbecued!

Lin Yue’s brain worked rapidly, and finally, a flash of inspiration struck. Lin Yue quickly said, “This is a misunderstanding, it was all Wu De’s miscommunication. Wu De, what did I tell you?”

Lin Yue frantically winked at Wu De, who understood. Even though he was suspended in mid-air, he still made a bitter face and cupped his hands, saying, “General, Gentleman of the Household said to let This humble general ask for your decision, This humble general forgot while running.”

She Jian nodded upon hearing this, accepting the answer.

Lin Yue saw She Jian’s expression improve slightly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next moment, Lin Yue’s heart was in his throat once again!

“Is the seat up there comfortable?” She Jian asked in a deep voice.

Lin Yue pressed the tiger-skin-covered chair and subconsciously replied, “It’s alright.”

“If it’s alright, why aren’t you getting down here!”

Lin Yue instantly woke up, then quickly stood up and said, “General, please, please!”

After speaking, he carefully wiped and patted the tiger-skin chair. She Jian glared at him and then sat down calmly.

She Jian stretched his legs, leaned back, adjusted to the most comfortable position, and occasionally caught sight of Lin Yue still standing beside him. He then asked with a sidelong glance, “What are you still standing around for?

Hurry up and get lost, you annoy me, stay away from me.”

After She Jian spoke, Lin Yue could only walk away dejectedly, constantly cursing She Jian’s family in his heart. Although Lin Yue had known him for a year, he didn’t know if She Jian actually had any family.

But Lin Yue felt that She Jian was very likely an old bachelor, an old widower, after all, who would be blind enough to want to spend a lifetime with someone like him.

He muttered to himself as he walked over to Pan Feng. Wu De, who had been thrown to the ground at some point, now diligently brought a chair to Lin Yue’s side. Lin Yue nodded with satisfaction, his mood improving slightly.

But the next moment, his mood plummeted again!

“Stay away from me, put the chair on the outermost side, you annoy me when I see you!” She Jian’s voice came again. Wu De froze in place, Lin Yue sighed and walked to the outermost side, Wu De seeing this could only move the chair and follow him.

After Lin Yue sat down, filled with resentment, Zhao Yun and Zhao Ponu stood behind Lin Yue.

She Jian rested his hand on the large tiger-skin chair, quietly stroking the tiger skin on the chair. Tong Wei stood behind She Jian, his eyes full of unconcealed triumph.

Lin Yue noticed Tong Wei’s gaze constantly darting towards him, so he glared back fiercely!

Wasn't it just sending him back to the Encampment, wasn't it just that the Soldier escorting him weren't very polite, was it necessary to hold such a grudge?

A dog relying on its master’s power, what’s there to be so proud of!

But unexpectedly, this scene was clearly caught by She Jian. She Jian’s ox-like eyes stared at him: “What, you’re not convinced?”

“Convinced, convinced, how could This humble general not be convinced!” Lin Yue said with a plastered-on smile.

“Hmph, if I hadn’t come, who knows what thoughts you might have hatched!” She Jian cursed, then ignored him.

But Lin Yue, below the tent, was internally churning with tumultuous waves!

What thoughts?

She Jian must be referring to him disrespecting him, or talking behind his back. It definitely wasn't what he had just thought; he wasn't a worm in his stomach.

It must be this way, it must be!

Lin Yue kept reassuring himself.

“How many troops does each of your divisions have?” She Jian ignored Lin Yue and instead asked in a deep voice.

“Reporting to the General, This humble general Zong Ze, has a total of 150,000 cavalry!”

“Reporting to the General, This humble general Pan Feng, temporarily commands Du Tong’s division, with 60,000 White Horse Righteous Cavalry and 50,000 Xiongnu surrendered Soldiers! A total of 110,000 troops!”

“Reporting to the General, This humble general Xing Daorong, temporarily commands General Yang Ye’s division, with 60,000 White Horse Righteous Cavalry and 40,000 Xiongnu surrendered Soldiers! A total of 100,000 troops!”

“Lin Yue, what about you?” She Jian asked.

Lin Yue reluctantly stood up and said, “Reporting to the General, This humble general Lin Yue, temporarily commands Liu Sandao and Lv Sheng’s divisions, with 40,000 White Horse Righteous Cavalry, 60,000 Black Horse Righteous Cavalry, and 150,000 Xiongnu surrendered Soldiers, totaling 250,000 troops!”

“Good, so that’s a total of… a total of…” She Jian hesitated a bit, scratching his hair.

“610,000 Army!” Tong Wei was also a bit incredulous, but still softly reminded him.

“Hmm, 610,000 Army.” She Jian smiled, then suddenly snapped back to attention, “What, how many, 610,000 Army?”

She Jian was momentarily lost in thought when suddenly a Soldier outside the large tent shouted, “Colonel Yang Chen requests entry into the tent!”

“Enter!” She Jian said softly.

“This humble general Yang Chen, has led 50,000 cavalry to the Encampment.” Yang Chen said, cupping his hands.

“Good, sit down.” She Jian said, then chuckled foolishly, this was 660,000 Army!

Lin Yue saw She Jian’s expression and knew it was not good.

But now that She Jian was in front of him, he couldn’t say anything.

“Thank you, my brothers, for your favor, for letting me command this great battle!

I never thought that I, She Jian, would ever fight such a well-resourced war in my life!” She Jian laughed heartily.

The Generals also chuckled upon hearing this, only Lin Yue’s heart was bleeding.

Who agreed for you to command, who favored you!

That position should have been his! It should have been his!

But now, whatever he said was useless!

Although the Generals in the tent were utterly loyal to him, when She Jian ousted him, not a single person objected, and now they were even chatting and laughing with She Jian.

He had even thought that with a single command from him, all the heroes would submit, but it turns out it was all a joke.

Lin Yue sighed, “Heavens! When will I be able to be the commander-in-chief!”
