Although Zhucheng is a city with many civil servants, it was almost a military-controlled city after the fall of the cities in the south.
There are many aspects that a Hanlin can manage, but handling official documents is the worst one for Fang Yun.
If you can go to war, you can make great contributions.
If the city can be defended, there will be enough military power.
If you can be in charge of military equipment or food, you will have a lot of benefits, and other armies will have to act according to your wishes.
If you are in charge of battle planning, you hold great power.
If you are responsible for training soldiers, it will enhance your prestige in the army, which will be of great benefit to your future.
Even if he is just in charge of carriages and horses, it is considered real power.
The only difference is in handling official documents. There is frequent exchange of official documents and paperwork, and it is indeed a confidential position, but there is no real power, and it is easy to make mistakes, and you will often be held accountable.
Now Lu Menhou is the highest general here. Fang Yun can either refuse or obey the order, but the cost of refusal is greater.
"Thank you, Marquis Lumen, for entrusting me with this important task. I will do my best," said Fang Yun.
"Very good, let's enter the city!" Lu Menhou stepped forward.
Fang Yun followed behind, secretly relieved, thinking that Lumenhou's arrangement of him in the position of handling official documents was not the worst result. The worst result was that he was arranged to the vanguard camp now. If that happened, it meant that the King of Chu wanted to kill him in a short time. This arrangement meant that the King of Chu wanted to stabilize the situation in the south first before killing him.
"The day when Marquis Lumen allows me to go to war, that will probably be the day when the King of Chu really wants to kill me." Fang Yun pondered as he entered the city.
The army went straight to the south of the city, because the southern half of the entire Pearl City was a military fortress, which originally had 200,000 soldiers and various auxiliary troops stationed there, and now there are more than 100,000 more.
Fang Yun followed the team of generals to the command center of Zhucheng, the Zhujiang Marquis Mansion.
Afterwards, Lu Menhou sat in the main seat, and Xun Tianling sat in the first guest seat. Fang Yun could only sit in the second seat.
Marquis Lumen sat upright on a large demon-skin chair, generals whose literary rank was Jinshi or above sat in two rows in the lobby of Marquis Zhujiang's mansion, and the rest of the captains stood outside the door.
"Open the tent!" Wei Changxian's voice sounded like spring thunder, horns blew, war drums thundered, and a murderous aura enveloped the entire Pearl City.
Marquis Lumen glanced at the generals and said slowly: "From today on, this Zhujiang Marquis Mansion will be changed into a temporary Marshal's Mansion as my residence!"
Everyone was silent.
"The military meeting has officially begun. I have received intelligence that the barbarian king Hu Ding of the Silver Tent has secretly entered Lianshan Pass!" said Lu Menhou.
Everyone present was shocked, even Fang Yun was surprised.
The demon kings and barbarian kings in the demon world are also divided into different levels. The lowest level is the newly promoted demon king.
The next level is the Holy Statue Monster King, which can summon the power in its blood and obtain some of the power of its holy ancestors. The Holy Statue of the Monster King has a small-scale lethality far exceeding the war poems of the human university scholars. Only a few university scholars' writing desks can barely resist it, but the price is that the writing desk will inevitably crack and need to be nourished before it can be used again.
Even stronger than the Holy Statue Demon King was the Silver Tent Demon King, who could hang a silver totem above the place where they lived. When a demon king of this level made a move, the blood in his body surged, like a bright red waterfall flowing upward.
Above the Silver Tent Demon King is the Golden Tent Demon King, whose strength is far greater than that of the Silver Tent Demon King.
Above that, there is the peak demon king. When the peak demon king's blood moves, a black tornado condensed by the energy of heaven and earth will surround his body.
Fang Yun had fought with the demon kings in the Blood Mang Ancient Land before, but the demon kings there were suppressed by the power of the Blood Mang. Most of them were at the level of newly promoted demon kings, and only a few reached the level of Saint Image Demon Kings, and there was no Silver Tent Demon King.
And now, the enemy actually has an additional Silver Tent Barbarian King.
Marquis Lu Men continued, "I was promoted to the Grand Scholar of Sincerity Realm three months ago. My strength has improved compared to before. If I were to face an ordinary Silver Tent Barbarian King, I would be confident of winning. However, that Tiger Ding was promoted to Silver Tent Barbarian King decades ago. He is extremely powerful and may be stronger than me."
Fang Yun quickly compared the human grand scholar and the barbarian king in his mind.
The newly promoted Grand Secretary is equivalent to the newly promoted Demon King, the Grand Secretary in the realm of Investigating Things is equivalent to the Holy Image Barbarian King, the Grand Secretary in the realm of Seeking Knowledge is equivalent to the Silver Tent Barbarian King, the Grand Secretary in the realm of Sincerity is equivalent to the Golden Tent Barbarian King, and the Grand Secretary in the realm of Righteousness is equivalent to the Peak Barbarian King.
However, a Grand Scholar of the Right Heart Realm is only comparable to an ordinary peak Barbarian King. If he encounters a peak Barbarian King of the Son of God, he will be slightly inferior. If he encounters a peak Barbarian King of the Ancestral God Clan, he will be at an even greater disadvantage.
There are only three Grand Secretaries in Lumen, Qishan and Zhujiang. Xun Tianling is at the lowest level, a Grand Secretary of Gewu, who has just formed a literary platform. Gou Bao is slightly better, a Grand Secretary of Zhizhi, and Lumen Hou is the highest, a Grand Secretary of Chengyi.
There is no powerful university scholar with a righteous state of mind among the three armies.
Fang Yun kept thinking in his mind.
"After all, the Grand Scholars of the Literary World were born in the literary world, and their strength is not as good as those of the people of Shengyuan Continent. Although Lumen Hou's realm is equivalent to that of the Golden Tent Barbarian King, in fact, he is only as strong as an ordinary Silver Tent Barbarian King. Facing the old Silver Tent Barbarian King, he will naturally lose. This means that the other side has six Barbarian Kings, while we only have three Grand Scholars, and the gap is further widened. No wonder King Chu and Lumen Hou did not kill me as soon as possible, it turned out to be because of the Silver Tent Barbarian King. Once I die, the morale of the Pearl River Army will collapse, and the plan that has been planned for many days will be in vain."
"I have been working hard these days. After I am promoted to Grand Secretary, I will definitely be able to break through the new promotion and reach the realm of studying things, and condense the Wentai. Then we will have four Grand Secretaries. As long as we can eliminate those barbarian kings one by one, we will have a chance to recapture Lianshan Pass and complete the king's order. After that, I can lead the Pearl River Army to Liangjie Mountain. However, this is only the best case scenario. At present, it seems difficult to accomplish."
Soon, Lu Menhou said, "With the Silver Tent Barbarian King Hu Ding here, it will be even more difficult for us to break through Lianshan Pass in one go. Now, we can only keep testing and lure the Barbarian Kings to make mistakes. Once we find the enemy's flaw, we will go all out and kill a Barbarian King. As long as there are only three Barbarian Kings left in the enemy army, we can march straight in and take back Lianshan Pass!"
After Lu Menhou finished speaking, he asked the generals in Zhucheng to offer suggestions.
The generals of the Pearl River Army successively put forward their own suggestions or strategies. Different generals had different opinions, which soon led to disputes. However, the disputes among all parties were very rational and pushed the military discussions in a better direction.
Fang Yun didn't know much about the situation in the Pearl River Basin, so he listened carefully and wrote down important information and put it in the strange book world for his own later reference.
The military meeting lasted until dawn the next day. All the generals slept for only an hour before getting up to eat breakfast, still in high spirits.
After breakfast, Fang Yun went to the residence of General Zhang Qingfeng of the Central Army and called General Wang Li of the Front Army. The three of them entered the study and released three layers of literary power to isolate the inside and the outside.
