The changes in Luzi took everyone by surprise, and it was precisely this transformation that tilted the balance of war back toward the Qin State. If he remained in Great King Village, his legion would become an expendable force. Timely assessment of the situation allowed him to completely encircle the Zhao Army that had crossed the Dan Shui River within the Qin Army's grasp.
Changing defensive positions or reallocating main forces would alter the entire battle plan of the Commander. For this reason, Luzi decided to wait for Shisan and Li Xin to return before making another move. He needed to modify the ambush positions and hoped that Wuan Jun would agree to the changes in the Defensive Formation. As this was a significant Military Situation, he could not afford to send just any Messenger to convey his message.
As he anxiously waited and saw the sky brighten outside, the two Messengers he had been hoping for still had not returned. The plan he had painstakingly devised was now taking shape, and Luzi decided he could wait no longer. Grabbing his General's Sword and fastening it at his waist, he pushed open the door and stepped into the courtyard to command the Guards to prepare to follow him into battle.
Xiao Yu'er, who had not slept all night, happened to come out holding a pot of medicinal soup. Upon seeing the heavily armored general mount his warhorse, she realized someone was about to leave. She hurried forward, raising the Ceramic Bowl for Luzi to drink all of the medicine.
Luzi took the Ceramic Bowl and looked at the brown medicinal soup, smiling as he shook his head. Just last night... perhaps even just moments ago, he had admitted to Xiao Yu'er that he had become a complete devil. If there were concerns about this person, already corroded by inner demons causing trouble again, then perhaps it would be better to replace the healing potion with poison! Rest assured! No matter what is in this bowl, I will drink it without hesitation!
This was also a kind of liberation! He would no longer feel responsible for letting anyone down! With that thought, Luzi tilted his head back and drank it all. He returned the Ceramic Bowl and nodded at Xiao Yu'er. Looking around at the shining armor of the Soldiers, he shouted, "Follow me into battle! Charge!"
Xiao Yu'er quickly followed him out of the gate, holding the Ceramic Bowl and watching as the flag-waving Troops kicked up dust and departed. A single crystal tear slowly slid down her cheek, gently falling into the bowl and instantly blooming like a flower.
This is what they call a big man! Always carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders! In this world, there are no romantic entanglements—only brothers who share life and death together!
If there were people living in a village, such a situation would not arise even after decades. However, if there were no inhabitants left, signs of decay would appear immediately after one winter. This is simply a fact; encountering such circumstances only breeds desolation.
Luzi led his Troops away from Great King Village for fifteen miles without encountering a single local resident along the way. The few dilapidated villages they passed were already deserted and devoid of life.
According to previous intelligence reports, all villages within the war zone had relocated entirely. If anyone wished to settle within Zhao territory, the Zhao Army would send escorts. This could be considered a good deed by the Zhao Army; at least it spared the original residents from suffering consequences. There has always been talk of weapons being blind, and civilian casualties are indeed a real concern.
The scouts sent out had not reported any sightings of Zhao Army forces nearby, confirming that Luzi's troops would not encounter enemy units along their route. When they came upon another village ahead, they saw two warhorses galloping toward them from a distance.
The Qin Army's uniforms were deep brown, appearing as black armor from a distance. This color was easiest to recognize during the day. The vanguard responsible for protecting General Lu quickly reported that they had spotted personnel from our army ahead.
Luzi signaled for the entire team to be cautious and vigilant, then rode out of the Defensive Formation to observe the two approaching figures. As the two riders quickly approached along the Official Road, it became clear that they were Sun Thirteen and Li Xin returning.
The two had traveled day and night, stopping briefly in a village to eat something. Just as they exited the village, they spotted a troop on the hillside in the distance. Curious about who they were, they recognized the familiar color of the Military Uniform. No longer being cautious, they rode over quickly. Upon seeing a great general standing at the front of the formation, they hurriedly dismounted and knelt on one leg to pay their respects to Luzi.
These were the warriors of Great Qin!
Luzi helped them up and noticed their eyes were obviously bloodshot, warming his heart. He hesitated to ask them to run another errand, not directly stating his intentions.
With the great general not present in the formation, it was clear that there was urgent military business for him to come out so far to greet them. Li Xin looked at Sun Thirteen and took out the Commander’s orders from his pocket. He held it with both hands and presented it to General Lu, proactively asking, "Does the general have other military matters? I am ready to receive orders!"
Luzi handed Bai Qi's orders to the Captain of the Guard and took out a confidential document from his pocket, handing it to Li Xin. "Please run another errand! When you return, I'll give you both a day off to rest!"
"Understood!"
Li Xin tucked the Bamboo Slip into his pocket and stood up, signaling Sun Thirteen. Just as he was about to mount his warhorse, Luzi reached out to stop him. Luzi led both of them forward a few steps before quietly inquiring about Wuan Jun's intentions.
Li Xin hurriedly repeated what Bai Qi had said, indicating that our subsequent combat mission did not require further reporting or applications. Opportunities in battle often flash by; if we delay because of this damned communication system, it would be meaningless. By the time news travels back and forth like waiting for a hen to lay eggs, any chicks would have already hatched!
"The meaning of Your Majesty is very clear; please make a decision, General! The Commander also mentioned that his camp will no longer be fixed at any one point from now on, which may cause communication disruptions. To ensure our army's victory, we hope you will exercise your discretionary power. There is no need to wait for approval; attack as you see fit! This order is not only issued to us at Great King Village but also communicated to all Qin Army units that can still be contacted."
It seemed that the Shangdang Region had been thoroughly thrown into chaos by the brothers from Anyang Cavalry Command Academy! Luzi nodded and looked westward at the land. Since discretionary power could be exercised! Bai Qi's intention was quite clear: let each unit take the initiative in combat. As for how they wanted to fight, as long as they didn't lead their troops into suicide missions, there would be no problem!
Let's go! Let's unleash our full potential and create an immortal achievement for the Qin State!
Confirming the answer, Luzi asked Li Xin to pack the confidential documents back into his armor and jumped onto his warhorse, signaling the entire team to return immediately. The decision to send a message to the Qin Army Camp was postponed; it would be best to wait for news from the Commander before proceeding.
On the way back, Luzi had already thought about how to explain the situation to the Esteemed Generals. To prevent being disrupted by the veteran generals and jeopardizing the mission, he decided to first read out the documents approved by the Commander to control the situation. As long as morale remained stable, he could later issue a notification for troop adjustments.
This method proved effective, and command of the Qin Army, consisting of twenty-six thousand men, returned to Luzi's hands. After confirming the guarantee document stamped with the Grand Commander's seal, the Old Generals collectively apologized to General Lu, and young general Sima Jin joined in on the commotion.
