Chapter 851 Hopeless City (119)
This city is too quiet, so quiet that these soldiers who are used to bloody fighting are not used to it.
Zhou Ye still made them get up before dawn to practice. After the practice, a group of men looked at each other and squatted in the corner in groups chatting.
What to talk about?
Wife, father, mother, house, children.
If a man doesn't pursue money and power in his life, isn't that all he wants?
Zhou Ye always stands on the city gate and looks down. For more than thirty years, she has been in the military camp since she was born. She is used to the bloody storms and the military orders. Now that she is standing here, she can’t explain herself clearly. What are you insisting on?
Let's lead the troops back to the imperial capital first, and let the brothers get what they can change. Then they can even change their ways and come back.
Looking down, the city was completely silent.
The people living here are all abandoned old people and children. They are unwilling to leave because they don’t know where to go after leaving. An enemy army once raided this place, and this city was massacred twice. In the end, everyone abandoned this place and never saw anyone from the empire coming.
We do need support here, but that was a long time ago.
The current Guanhai City is more like a guard just in front of the imperial capital. They said that it used to be one of the most prosperous cities in Longka. Later, thirteen lines of defense were built on the border to block the legendary evil. The beast even blocked the invasion from the north.
The country no longer needed this city, so when the more powerful Xiangguo army invaded Guanhai City, the emperor gave up directly and exchanged a city for 30,000 Xiangguo's good horses.
So in the final analysis, this city does not need support at all.
This place has long been abandoned.
Then why did the emperor ask her to bring troops?
The reason can be imagined. He didn't want her to return to the city. He left this empty city to her and asked her to stay here and never go back.
The Great Emperor gave her the highest honor, and in just fifteen years, she was promoted to various positions, and finally became a general of the empire, the first female general in history to command an army. Zhou Ye felt grateful in his heart for this kindness.
The old man told her that it was the emperor's push and her own strength that made her stand in her current position.
If it were a different emperor, Zhou Ye might never be able to break through the barriers of secular thoughts.
Zhou Ye is confident and strong, but she also understands that her path is indeed smooth and open.
It's just that the emperor's appreciation is not because of her as a person, but because of her usefulness to the country.
When the emperor took office, Longka was weak and weak, and the nobles of the kingdom had evil intentions towards him. He could not trust anyone. After seeing how powerful Zhou Ye was, he simply sent her to the position of commander, using her to evade military power, and continued to increase the number of own chips.
Now that he is firmly on the throne, Longka is no longer as weak as he was before, allowing others to bully him, and the evil raccoons have been put down. All of this has made the country a better place and made the emperor the greatest in the hearts of the people. emperor.
A successful emperor does not need too dazzling and powerful generals.
This is what Lu Qi told her.
The old man also said that there is no need to be too angry or unwilling, and it is a blessing to quietly leave and live a stable life.
The emperor's heart is unpredictable, and it is enough to escape unscathed.
What is the purpose of guarding the border for so many years? Disappointment and anger arise only when there is something longing in the heart.
But Zhou Ye had none of these.
