Heaven Scheme Palace

Ming Jin Nine Year Winter

With the noise of the gongs and drums in the sky, the three hundred thousand soldiers of the Da Jin were ready to go.

A few days ago, the Beidou invaded the western part of the Da Jin, including the Zhang Province, the Xu Province, the Henan Province, and other five large cities.

Eight hundred kilometers to the west urgently requesting for Emperor's support, the Emperor decisively conferred the title of Heavenly Imperial Protector General Yao Cong Xing to lead three hundred thousand troops to the west to meet with General Pei Sheng's two hundred thousand strong army to attack the Beidou together.

At the same time, Grand Commandant was ordered to act as the censor for this great war, representing the Emperor in making decisions on any urgent matters.

All the warriors had grand aspirations, vowing to repel the Beidou army and take back the lost city.

On the way, Yao Dan Qing naturally followed closely behind. Ever since she was twelve, she had dressed up as a man and snuck into the army to learn how to fight with her father. For the past four years, practically all the soldiers knew of her identity.

This sentence, meant that the Emperor had tacitly approved Yao Dan Qing to join the army, and from then on, no one dared to talk about it anymore.

For more than twenty years, Yao Cong Xing had only married one Shen. Shen gave birth to two daughters, the eldest daughter, Yao Dan Qing, and the second daughter, Yao Dan Feng.

The Shen had advised him to take in a concubine to help the Yao Family get a boy, but Yao Cong Xing refused to take in a concubine. He had held the position of Great General for dozens of years but there was only one Madame, so he smiled and said: "Who said that only males could inherit the Yao Family's family property?

Yao Cong Xing had painstakingly cultivated Yao Dan Qing since she was young, hence he invited the number one expert of the Jianghu to teach him martial arts, and also invited the number one teacher of the imperial city to teach Yao Dan Qing poetry.

Yao Dan Qing did not disappoint Yao Cong Xing's expectations. At just twelve years of age, she had attained enlightenment from ancient to modern, and her skills were becoming more and more profound. Thus, when she was twelve years old, she brought him on the battle to kill the enemy.

Yao Dan Qing had acquired the title of a high-ranking officer in the army the first time she entered the battlefield, hence she had a bit of a reputation in the army.

After a year, not only was Yao Dan Qing slim and elegant, she was also capable in martial arts and was very intelligent. Yao Cong Xing liked Yao Dan Qing from the bottom of his heart, and it was even more precious. Many nobles and nobles came to propose marriage with him, but they were all blocked by him.

In the evening, three hundred thousand troops were stationed at a spacious area to rest. The tightly guarded tents blocked the bone-piercing cold wind outside, and inside the Great General's main tent, Yao Dan Qing was dressed in men's attire and armor.

"I really don't understand, why did the Emperor send Lv Wen Hao here, a noble young master who grew up with a silver spoon, does the Emperor know how to fight?" Yao Dan Qing talked about the overseer Lv Wen Hao this time, her tone full of disdain.

Lu Family was the number one family in Da Jin, after going through three dynasties, they had produced two prime ministers and a nation. In the Fourth Dynasty, the young Lv Wen Hao, who was only 22 years old and did not have any achievements, would become a first stage Grand Commandant. In a few years, he would probably be the youngest prime minister in all of Da Jin's history.

This kind of person who relied on being born and raised up high above others, in Yao Dan Qing's eyes, was just a useless young master.

No matter what, he is still the direct descendant of the Lu Family. In the future, the person in charge of the Lu Family will not be someone with a heart devoid of ink. This time, the fact that Emperor was able to hand over the position of overseer to him must be under consideration. " Yao Cong Xing's voice was faint.

"Then I'll wait and see how he shows his prowess." Yao Dan Qing laughed contemptuously, "Danqing is going to rest." She turned around and went out of the tent.

A gust of wind blew past, causing her to feel pain. She squinted her eyes as she saw Lv Wen Hao dressed in casual clothes, walking towards her with a gentle look, thinking to show him something, but then swaggering over.

Under the dim light of the day, she quietly reached out her right foot as she brushed past him, intending to trip him up.

Just as expected, Lv Wen Hao did not even notice as he staggered and rushed forward.

Yao Dan Qing was secretly pleased with herself. Just as he was waiting to see Su Yun fall to the ground, she saw him spin his body and use one hand to support himself on the ground. He leapt up with an indescribable agility.

Yao Dan Qing was dumbstruck, she stared at Lv Wen Hao, then remembered to do something, and immediately apologized: Master overseer, please forgive me, I did not see Master.

Lv Wen Hao glanced at her indifferently: "Be careful walking from now on."

"Yes, yes, yes." Yao Dan Qing responded as she saw him walk into the tent. She pouted and snorted: So you know some martial arts, next time I will definitely teach you a lesson.

When they were almost at Tu Zhou, they were interrupted by a few Northern Hu Army teams. The Northern Hu Army team had around sixty to seventy thousand people, and the army divided into several paths, constantly interfering with the three hundred thousand strong army, which greatly affected their march speed.

At this time, all the deputy generals were gathered at Yao Cong Xing's tent, discussing on countermeasures.

"They are hiding in the dark while we are in the light. We have already secretly burned our army's grain three times on the way here. We have to deal with them in advance." A deputy general had a serious expression on his face.

All of the generals present nodded their heads in agreement. With just a few words, he had started to come up with a countermeasure.

"Northern Hu Army burned our grain and provoked us, but he did not fight us head on. He obviously wanted to delay us from going to Tu Zhou to meet up with General Pei. This method of repeatedly disturbing us had long been meticulously planned out." Lv Wen Hao suddenly opened his mouth, his voice was clear and calm, but he had successfully suppressed the boiling voice. Everyone present looked at Lv Wen Hao, they did not think that anyone who had never marched to war would understand, but because of his status as the overseer's censor, they could only listen quietly.

"I predict that the reason the Northern Hu Army pulled out tens of thousands of troops to disturb us is because he wanted to eliminate the two hundred thousand strong army of the General Pei in one fell swoop at Tu Zhou. "So what we need to do now is to split our troops into three groups, the first one will be the main force led by the General Yao, with two hundred and fifty thousand travelling at night, while the other two will chase after the small troops of the Northern Hu Army, and annihilate all of them." Lv Wen Hao spoke in an orderly manner, as if he had already thought of a plan.

Yao Dan Qing asked in reply, "Although dividing the troops into three paths is a good plan, if Northern Hu Army is able to grasp the direction of our main force, splitting up into three paths is meaningless, and we would have to split up the troops instead."

"Therefore, I will find another general on the other road and put on the General Yao's armor as well, to follow me." Lv Wen Hao's calm words made everyone present look astonished.

Yao Dan Qing asked: "You want to mislead Northern Hu Army?"

"Yes." Lv Wen Hao nodded, his sharp eyes seemed to have already planned everything, "If General Yao were to travel with the overseer, they would definitely be the main force, and could successfully attract the attention of the five to six Northern Hu Army s. By the time they realise that they have been chasing the wrong people, perhaps General Yao will have met up with Tu Zhou."

"But, Lord overseer has thought about it before, after the two hundred and fifty thousand troops leave with General Yao, the remaining fifty thousand troops still need to split into two, how can such a small group fight against the sixty to seventy thousand people of Northern Hu Army? Isn't Master overseer's army just going to die? " A field officer was the first to speak, raising the matter they were most worried about.

"Then why is our three hundred thousand strong army wasting their time here? watch Pei Sheng's army get annihilated? General Yao should understand that we cannot lose out in size due to small matters. " Lv Wen Hao said firmly.

"Lord Lu is right." Yao Cong Xing nodded and slowly stood up. He looked at Lv Wen Hao with a complicated gaze.

After all these years, it had become increasingly clear that the Crown Prince was only one faction. As a member of the Crown Prince, he naturally had to be on guard against Lv Wen Hao.

"In that case, it's decided. The third party will be led by Vice General Li. Commander Zhang will go and order 30,000 soldiers right now..." After speaking till here, Lv Wen Hao paused for a while, then said: "We must follow them, and perhaps never will we be able to return to our homeland again."

Commander Zhang's eyes flashed. In the end, he gritted his teeth and strode out of the tent.

"I need a person with decent martial arts to disguise as the General Yao." Lv Wen Hao said.

"Allow me." Yao Dan Qing suddenly stood up, "I dare say, no one here has the skill to surpass me, so let me disguise myself as the General Yao to protect Master overseer's safety."

After Lv Wen Hao heard this, the corner of his mouth drew out a faint smile: "Alright, then I'll leave this overseer's life to you."
