Li Rupo?

Lin Yue was a bit confused. Since there was Li Rupo, were Li Rusong and his father Li Chengliang also present?

He nudged Lu Yun with his shoulder, and Lu Yun quietly moved closer to Lin Yue.

“What is it?”

“Who is that?” Lin Yue subtly nodded towards Li Rupo and whispered.

“Li Rupo, Commandery Commandant of Liaodong Commandery, Earl of Ningyuan, son of General of Liaodong Li Chengliang, younger cousin of Colonel Li Rusong of the Zhongwei Army in Xianyang, and current County Commandant of Houchéng County.”

Lu Yun quietly explained to Lin Yue in his ear.

The Li family, who dominated Liaodong during the late Ming Dynasty, with their entire family appearing in Liaodong Commandery?

Lin Yue tried his best to digest this information. He originally thought that famous ministers and military Generals from other dynasties would appear in the game through military general summoning tokens, but he didn't expect that they could also be directly placed in the game as native residents?

And they could even retain their historical relationships, which greatly surprised him!

If that's the case, if someone marries Wei Zifu, wouldn't they possess three top-tier historical dowries?

If one obtains Su Shi, there's a high chance of also obtaining Su Xun and his prime minister brother, Su Zhe?

If one obtains Sima Yi, will there be the Sima Eight Da?

Forget it, forget Sima Yi. That man's ambition is too great; he can't be controlled.

“Is everyone here?” She Jian broke the somber atmosphere.

“Reporting to Colonel, all eighteen members of the Great Wall Legion are present!”

“Hmm.” She Jian nodded and then looked to his right.

“Reporting to Colonel, my father is suffering from a sudden cold and is bedridden, unable to attend. This humble general will temporarily take his place. All other Generals and Soldiers are present.”

Li Rupo stood up and said to She Jian.

“Alright, then let’s begin.” She Jian said nothing after hearing this, his expression normal as he nodded.

“Understood.” Li Rupo responded and returned to his seat.

She Jian surveyed the room, then began:

“I am here by order of the Great General to inspect the border fortresses of Liaodong Commandery.

We have discovered many foreigners fleeing beyond the Great Wall, colluding with foreign tribes, and engaging in arson, killing, looting, and plundering.

We shall now raise an army to eliminate them.”

“Which Xiongnu people tribe is responsible?” Li Rupo asked.

“You all speak.” She Jian glanced at him, then addressed Lin Yue and the other four.

“This humble general encountered the Juqu Tribe and eliminated five hundred of them!”

“This humble general encountered the Juqu Tribe and eliminated four hundred of them!”

“This humble general encountered the Juqu Tribe and eliminated four hundred of them!”

“This humble general encountered the Juqu Tribe and, together with Lin Yue's unit, killed a thousand Xiongnu Cavalry!” Lu Yun said.

“This humble general encountered a thousand Nuzhen Tribe cavalry, killed 541, and captured 459!”

Seeing that it was his turn, Lin Yue stood up to report.

“Oh? The Juqu Tribe has had many skirmishes with our Liaodong Garrison. It is indeed in their character to harbor foreigners and engage in arson, killing, looting, and plundering.

However, the Nuzhen Tribe has always been submissive to our Great Qin. Is there some misunderstanding in this matter?” Li Rupo asked, puzzled.

Lin Yue glanced at She Jian, and seeing She Jian nod, he then said:

“The night before last, at Mount Xiaogou, a thousand foreigners fled beyond the Great Wall. My unit pursued and discovered a thousand Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry providing cover, leading to a fierce battle.

During the subsequent interrogation of the captives, it was discovered that all of them wore wigs, and their true identities were all Nuzhen Tribe members.”

Li Rupo smiled calmly after hearing this, then asked:

“Such elaborate efforts to change their appearance, is there not a suspicion of framing?

As far as I know, the Nuzhen Tribe has many conflicts with the Xianbei, Xiongnu people, Qiang, and even other Nuzhen Tribes. How can you be sure it wasn't other foreign tribes impersonating them?”

“My unit captured over four hundred people, all of whom are witnesses,” Lin Yue said, looking directly at Li Rupo.

Could it be that, just like in history, the Li family is indeed raising a tiger to cause trouble, secretly supporting the Jurchen?

But facing the injured Pan Feng, he still had to hold his ground firmly and absolutely not let Li Rupo casually dismiss it with a few words.

“Could it be that County Commandant Li is questioning our Great Wall Legion?” At this moment, a burly Colonel on the left stared at Li Rupo and retorted.

He was familiar with Lin Yue, usually outspoken and proud, and seeing Li Rupo stirring up trouble like this, he naturally had to stand up for Lin Yue.

“May I ask who the General is?” Li Rupo's expression remained normal in the face of the questioning.

“I am Colonel Gong Lin, a Colonel under the Great Wall Legion,” Colonel Gong Lin said in a deep voice, staring intently at him.

“Ah, it’s Colonel Gong. My apologies, my apologies.

I meant nothing else; it's just that caution prevents major mistakes, isn't it?” Li Rupo smiled lightly.

“It's just that those four hundred-odd people rioted while being escorted to Xianyang and were killed on the spot by the Soldiers. Their bodies are gone, so it's impossible to verify the truth.”

Li Rupo shook his head with a hint of regret.

Lin Yue's heart trembled; this Li Rupo was truly ruthless!

“Hmph, a complete riot, is it really such a coincidence?

May I ask when, where, and for what reason they rioted?” Colonel Gong Lin glanced at Li Rupo and asked.

“The riot occurred last night, right after departing from Ping City.

As for the reason, it was nothing more than a failed escape attempt. If Colonel Gong doesn't believe it, he can investigate it himself.” Li Rupo presented a demeanor that suggested it was perfectly fine to investigate.

“Alright, let's first discuss the matter of the Xiongnu people Juqu Tribe.” She Jian interrupted Lin Yue and Colonel Gong Lin, who were about to speak.

“Understood!” Lin Yue and Colonel Gong Lin said simultaneously.

“Li Rupo, how many troops can your unit mobilize?”

“Reporting to Colonel, the three surrounding counties can mobilize 50,000 cavalry and 200,000 infantry, ready for deployment at any time!”

“Liaodong Commandery has no less than a million troops. Why are there only these forces?”

“Colonel, please understand. Recently, foreigners and Mountain Bandits have been rampant, causing chaos. All units are currently engaged in bandit suppression, and Liaodong Commandery is located at the border, also needing to guard against foreign tribes from beyond the Great Wall. Currently, only these forces can be mobilized.” Li Rupo said with a troubled expression.

“How many troops does the Xiongnu people Juqu Tribe have?” She Jian asked.

“The Juqu Tribe has a total population of one million, and its people are skilled in horsemanship. In times of war, all can take up swords and join the battle,” Li Rupo replied.

“Good, all Generals, listen to my Command.” She Jian said sternly.

The great hall immediately fell silent, all waiting for She Jian's order!

“Li Rupo!”

“This humble general is present!”

“Your cavalry will be the vanguard, with the infantry providing support.

Anyone who retreats a single step will be executed without mercy!”

“This humble general accepts the order.” Li Rupo said with a difficult expression after hearing this.

“Colonel Gong Lin, your unit will be the left flank, and five qu of light cavalry will also be assigned to your unit to cut off their retreat.”

“This humble general accepts the order!” Colonel Gong Lin stood up and responded!

“Zhang Kai, your unit will be the right flank, attacking from the right!”

“This humble general accepts the order!” A fair-faced man stood up and responded.

“The three armies will depart tonight and attack at dawn the day after tomorrow!”

“Understood!” All the Generals stood up and responded!

“Go!

Anyone who delays the war effort will be dealt with according to military law!” She Jian waved his hand, and the Generals withdrew.

Then Li Rupo gazed deeply at Lin Yue before being the first to walk out the door.

Lin Yue and the others followed behind Colonel Gong Lin, who turned and said:

“Everyone, return and gather your troops. We will depart after eating!”

“Understood!”

Lin Yue then returned to the camp where the White Horse Righteous Cavalry were stationed.

“My Lord!”

“Are your injuries better?” Lin Yue asked with a smile, looking at the spirited Pan Feng.

“Thanks to My Lord, there are no major issues!

And thanks to the life-and-death struggle with that masked man, This humble general has already broken through!” Pan Feng said with a smile.

Lin Yue's heart swelled with joy; after breaking through, Pan Feng would be at the realm of a Second-Rate Military General!

Pan Feng's Martial Power increased by two points; he is now a Second-Rate Military General!

“Excellent, this can be considered a blessing in disguise for you!” Lin Yue laughed heartily. Now that Pan Feng had broken through, he also had a Second-Rate Military General under his Command!

“Haha, in the future, if any ignorant small fries act arrogantly again, This humble general will surely teach him a lesson!” Pan Feng said with a laugh.

“No, Lao Pan, say what you will, but why are you looking at me?” Xing Daorong shrank his neck, a little displeased.

“Hahaha, A Rong, let's see if you still dare to challenge me to a fight this time?”

“My duty is to protect My Lord's safety. I'll fight you when I have time!”

Seeing this, everyone burst into laughter.
