The Warmth of Everyday Life
The man next to him became depressed upon hearing this.
Not only were women dissatisfied with him, but he was also dissatisfied with himself.
He looked at his own body with a puzzled expression.
He is physically robust and has strong limbs.
While not exactly majestic, he could be described as strong and powerful.
He was quite upset that he wasn't ultimately chosen.
Many people with similar strength to him were selected, but he was not.
The young man's face fell, revealing his depression.
Turning to look at his still somewhat indignant wife, he was instantly enraged.
"You shameless woman, you won't let Laozi into bed?"
"Laozi wait and see how I deal with you!!!"
With that, he hoisted the somewhat attractive woman onto his shoulder and strode away.
The women naturally punched and kicked, but it had no effect on the men whatsoever.
Seeing the situation here, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Even worse, some people started to heckle.
When are you going to have a baby? So we can go to the wedding banquet!
These words made the woman blush with embarrassment.
But the young man showed no shame whatsoever.
"Uncle, he's working hard on it, and maybe we can attend his wedding next autumn."
"---------"
Scenes like this are common throughout Chaoge City.
Many people joked about it; some were annoyed, some were excited, and some were envious.
Many others beat their chests in frustration and sighed to the heavens.
He secretly resented that he had been lazy and didn't train enough, which led to him not being selected for the Northern Expedition.
It's truly a pity and a shame.
The human experience is truly multifaceted and ever-changing.
The only indispensable element is that touch of homely warmth that makes people nostalgic.
"---------"
Ye Xuan's pre-emptive mobilization lasted for a long time.
The soldiers' morale was rising in waves.
After a long time, Ye Xuan finally made a decision.
"All troops, march on!!!"
With Ye Xuan's voice, the army finally set off.
"Set off--------"
"The entire army sets off-------"
Zhang Kui, the commander-in-chief of the army, roared.
Zhang Kui's voice was equally loud, resounding throughout the heavens and earth.
The next moment.
"Waaaaah------"
"Waaaaah--------"
Countless horns suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
The massive army of 200,000 men transformed into a torrent of steel, flowing into the distance.
As the army marched away, it also took with it the hopes of countless people in Chaoge City.
Who wouldn't want their country to remain intact?
Who wouldn't want their country's army to be invincible and unstoppable?
In particular, His Majesty the current Human Emperor personally led many generals and soldiers on a military expedition.
They clearly hoped that their Human Emperor and their army would be invincible.
Looking at the torrent of steel behind her, Su Daji was filled with emotion.
When she first met Human Emperor the Emperor, he was extremely indignant.
He even quoted the poem, "The courtesan, oblivious to the sorrow of a fallen nation, still sings 'The Flowers of the Rear Courtyard' across the river."
Now, everything His Human Emperor the Emperor said has indeed come true.
First, his own father instigated a rebellion in Jizhou.
There are also North Sea Seventy-Two Feudal Lords, whom they have yet to suppress.
In addition, Marquis Ji Chang of the West, was also somewhat eager to make a move.
What His Human Emperor the Emperor said is absolutely correct.
It's truly my fault for being blind, unaware of the state of affairs, and oblivious to His Majesty's sorrow.
Now that she is by His Human Emperor's side, she truly understands the difficulties in His Majesty's heart.
He recalled the bold and unrestrained lines of poetry he had written.
In particular, that scene from back then still lingered in his mind like a nightmare.
My hair stood on end in anger; I leaned against the railing as the rain subsided.
I looked up, raised my head and roared to the sky, my heart filled with intense emotions.
Thirty years of fame and fortune are but dust and dirt; eight thousand miles of road are but clouds and moon.
Don't let your youth slip away in vain, only to regret it later.
The shame of Xia Jie remains unavenged; when will the hatred of his subjects be extinguished?
Driving a long chariot, I shattered the defenses of the Helan Mountains.
With lofty ambitions, we will feast on the flesh of the Xiongnu when hungry, and laughingly drink their blood when thirsty.
Let us start anew, reclaim our lost lands, and return to the imperial palace.
With these verses in mind, and looking at His Human Emperor, who was decisive in his killings and acted like a god descending from heaven, I felt a sense of awe.
It truly stirred his heart.
Whether it's the Nine-Tailed Fox Lord of Green Mound, or Su Daji, the most beautiful woman among the Human Clan, they have clearly fallen deeply in love with Ye Xuan's charm.
Now, following His Human Emperor the Emperor on his personal campaign, I wonder if I can do anything for Human Emperor?
Looking at the Human Emperor before her, Su Daji's eyes gradually became infatuated.
After leaving Chaoge, the steel torrent headed north.
Ye Xuan sat atop the enormous three-tailed fox demon, lost in thought.
The two beautiful women behind him naturally dared not disturb them in the slightest.
Zhang Kui, riding One-Horned Black Smoke Beast, arrived beside Ye Xuan.
She called out softly and then waited for Ye Xuan's reply.
Ye Xuan's deep thoughts were interrupted, and he couldn't help but turn around to look at General Zhang Kui beside him.
General Zhang, is there anything I can help you with?
Zhang Kui and Ye Xuan were quite familiar with each other.
He is also one of the generals that Ye Xuan favors.
Therefore, Zhang Kui's meeting with Ye Xuan was less about formalities and more about being forthright.
Ye Xuan preferred this kind of conversation; he actually disliked the extremely respectful and cautious manner of those old ministers.
Zhang Kui chuckled as he looked at His Human Emperor.
"Your Majesty, please forgive my indiscretion."
"Wen Zhong Grand Tutor Wen is still in the North Sea. Even though the current situation is somewhat critical, given Wen Zhong Grand Tutor Wen's abilities, there shouldn't be any problems in the short term."
"With the arrival of the Martial King Cheng Who Protects the Nation Huang Feihu, who is leading the troops day and night, along with 80,000 cavalry including War Elephant Cavalry, we believe they will soon reach the North Sea."
"Furthermore, with the 200,000 troops I command rushing to their aid, these forces are more than enough to crush those seventy-two barbarian tribes of the North Sea in one fell swoop."
"Your Majesty should heed the advice of those civil officials and remain in Chaoge; why must you personally lead the army to that harsh and desolate Northern Liang land?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but smile.
We're already halfway there, and this guy is still worrying about this?
After laughing, he turned to look north, his gaze revealing a sense of desolation.
"General Zhang, you must not underestimate the enemy. In military campaigns, underestimating the enemy is a grave mistake."
"The area where the Seventy-Two Feudal Lords of the North Sea reside is a harsh and cold land. Due to the climate, the people there are fierce and their fighting strength is extremely formidable."
"The fact that North Marquis Chong Houhu has had multiple opportunities is enough to demonstrate their prowess."
"Even Grand Tutor Wen Zhong now trapped on Beast God Mountain."
"This alone is enough to show how formidable they are. With Wen Zhong Grand Tutor Wen trapped, I must go and rescue him no matter what."
As someone who transmigrated from another era, Ye Xuan naturally knew all about these things.
The North Sea Seventy-Two Feudal Lords were indeed quite powerful, most of them being barbarian tribes, and extremely skilled in warfare.
In addition, Marquis Ji Chang of the West, was secretly providing support.
Historically Wen Zhong, the Grand Tutor Wen, was even detained in the North Sea for as long as fifteen years.
It could even be said that it directly dragged down a large part of the last vestiges of the Yin Shang's foundation and fortune.
This resulted in the young Di Xin being left unsupervised, causing him to fall into the trap set by countless gods and Buddhas, and transforming him into a tyrant who cruelly harmed farmers.
This led to the betrayal of many loyal officials, and the last glimmer of hope for the Yin Shang Dynasty was completely lost.
Therefore, he attached great importance to this Northern Expedition.
