304: Who the hell is in charge of military orders!

“She Jian?”

“Yes,” Wang Da Tou said, then picked up his communication token and began to call out.

Lin Yue only now understood that of the three Armies dispatched, the last one was She Jian!

When Lin Yue had previously heard there were only four hundred thousand cavalry, he thought the last Army would be Zong Ze, but he didn't expect She Jian himself to come!

“General She Jian, General She Jian!” Wang Da Tou called out repeatedly, but there was no response from the communication token!

“Why is it failing at this critical moment?” Wang Da Tou muttered, somewhat puzzled, then handed the communication token to a personal guard beside him, instructing him to continue calling.

“We’ll wait for him for half an incense stick. If he still doesn’t come, then this immense fortune will only be for us two brothers to enjoy!” Wang Da Tou joked.

“He will come. General She Jian has always been prudent. When I was first promoted to General, General She Jian taught me to obey military orders and not act recklessly.

I also had a brief contact with General She Jian just now; he was on his way then. He must have been delayed by something.

He will come if we wait a bit,” Lin Yue said with a smile. Of course, he had one more thing he didn’t say: She Jian’s keen nose for where battle merits were to be found. How could She Jian miss out?

“That’s good then,” Wang Da Tou said with a smile, not saying much more.

Suddenly, the communication token in Lin Yue’s embrace vibrated slightly.

Lin Yue grabbed the token, brought it to his collar, and was about to take it out when his hand paused and stopped.

This token could only be She Jian contacting him, but why would She Jian only contact him and ignore Wang Da Tou?

Lin Yue glanced to the side and saw Wang Da Tou’s personal guard still holding the communication token and calling She Jian. He then said to Wang Da Tou, “I’m going to relieve myself.”

He then walked away alone until there weren't many people nearby. Only then did Lin Yue take out his communication token, hold it to his ear, and hear Tong Wei’s voice calling out: “General Lin Yue! General Lin Yue!”

“I’m here,” Lin Yue nodded. It seemed it was She Jian without a doubt.

Sure enough, a crisp slapping sound rang out. Without a doubt, Tong Wei had received a smack on the head, and then She Jian’s voice came through:

“Lin Yue, I have something I can’t get past right now.

Uh... uh... you understand, right?”

“What do you mean? Ask Wang Da Tou to wait for you a little longer?” Lin Yue asked hesitantly.

“What do you mean wait a little longer!” She Jian said angrily, then said in a deep voice, “It means I can’t make it. Uh... uh... why don’t you understand?”

“Are you saying you’re not coming?” Lin Yue’s eyes lit up. This didn’t fit She Jian’s style at all!

“I didn’t say that, but your comprehension is quite good, young man,” She Jian finally said with a laugh.

“Then This humble general will tell Wang Da Tou this news so he can make plans sooner,” Lin Yue said.

“Why don’t you understand, young man?

Just don’t let Wang Da Tou know. Just mention that there’s no need to wait for me.

There’s still half an hour until the time on the military order. You two can completely deal with the King of Xihu, that kind of miscellaneous king, yourselves,” She Jian said.

Lin Yue checked the time and found that it was indeed true. The Xiongnu Encampment was lightly guarded this time, so they occupied the Encampment half an hour faster than expected. He immediately realized She Jian’s true intention.

This old fox!

He must be trying to seize this opportunity to pull off a big one!

But he still feigned a tone of panic and said:

“General, are you going to defy military orders and act on your own?

This humble general just asked you, and you said you would act according to military orders, didn’t you? How have you changed?

And I just told Wang Da Tou that you are the most reliable, never acting recklessly on your own! You even told This humble general not to act recklessly, and I didn’t expect you to do such a thing!

You, you’re not making a fool out of This humble general, are you!”

All around, there was silence.

Lin Yue desperately covered his mouth, laughing wildly, to prevent She Jian from hearing the sound.

She Jian’s face flushed red upon hearing this, and he remained silent for a long time.

Lin Yue had used his own words of admonishment against him. This was not, as Lin Yue said, making a fool out of him; this was Lin Yue making a fool out of himself!

“You, young man, dare to speak to me like that now?” She Jian said in a deep voice.

“General, what do you mean? How does This humble general not understand?” Lin Yue feigned ignorance.

“You, young man, don’t play dumb with me. I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice!” She Jian asked.

“You’re not afraid of getting parched,” Lin Yue muttered softly.

“What did you say!” She Jian said angrily.

Lin Yue heard the grinding of teeth coming from the communication token and couldn’t help but laugh, “This humble general understands everything!”

He needed to know when to stop, otherwise, they would constantly see each other. If he made She Jian so ashamed that he wanted to crawl into a hole today, how would She Jian face him in the future?

Lin Yue indulged in the 'Ah Q spirit' to comfort himself.

“Good, I trust you,” She Jian said in a deep voice.

“Wait, General She Jian, what is your target this time?” Lin Yue asked anxiously.

Since She Jian had a target, could he also find a target?

“No comment!

Lin Yue, remember, you must act according to military orders and not make your own decisions! That’s all!” She Jian’s voice came through.

Lin Yue couldn’t help but smile. His own hands weren’t clean, yet he was lecturing others?

Then he smiled faintly and said, “General, you also don’t want your defiance of military orders to be...”

“Clap!”

After a slight sound, Lin Yue knew that She Jian had cut off the communication.

“Sigh,” Lin Yue sighed, then returned to his original position.

He saw Wang Da Tou still resting with his eyes closed, then said, “General Wang, why don’t we just directly conquer the King of Xihu’s Encampment? Otherwise, delays could lead to complications, and I’m afraid someone might discover us.”

Wang Da Tou opened his bright eyes upon hearing this and said, “She Jian isn’t coming?”

“I don’t know,” Lin Yue said with a bewildered expression.

“Alright, then we’ll go with your idea. We won’t wait for him!” Wang Da Tou stroked his bald head and said, “That She Jian, I wonder what good thing he’s seen this time!”

“Charge!” Wang Da Tou roared!

The three hundred thousand cavalry responded and moved, rushing to their stage!

As for Lin Yue, watching Wang Da Tou’s back, he couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. These people, truly none of them were ordinary!

...“Defy military orders? Bah!”

She Jian spat fiercely, then stood up, shook his armor, and kicked the sack he had just been sitting on, saying, “Tong Wei, bring this whatever-king back to me.”

“King Fuli!” Tong Wei reminded him.

“Yes, whatever king he is, even if he’s a miscellaneous king, he’s still a king. Take him back!” She Jian kicked him hard, then waved his hand for Tong Wei to take him away.

After Tong Wei left, She Jian looked up at the starry sky and muttered to himself:

“Damn it, it’s all a mess now, who the hell cares about military orders anymore!”
