History’s Strongest Shopkeeper - Chapter 397

[397. Chapter 392 I might as well be a line (first update)]

Huo Qubing’s meaning is obvious. You are a minor character in the history books and have not left any significant mark. How can you be qualified to draw lots?

To compete for the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces?

Go back quickly, where did you come from? Go back to play.

“How is it possible?”

Cheng Yaojin became angry when he heard Huo Qubing’s contempt. Cheng Yaojin was a big figure who appeared at least a dozen times in the history of the Tang Dynasty.

He served as the emperor of Wagangzhai, besieged Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, and experienced more than a hundred battles. He was also a well-known hero.

“Which country have you conquered, which tribe have you exterminated, and what military books have you written?”

Huo Qubing seemed not to notice the anger on Cheng Yaojin’s face, and sneered, “

You haven’t destroyed several countries and wiped out several alien races. How sorry are you? “

Reach out and draw lots.

“Hmph!”

Cheng Yaojin looked at Huo Qubing’s young face and his teeth itched with anger, but he also knew that no one would obey him as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

“You are an elder, and I respect you. When I get back, I will burn paper for the champion Huo Qubing.”

Cheng Yaojin glared at Huo Qubing fiercely, yelled angrily, and cursed.

He, Old Cheng, is not someone to be bullied.

If you want your uncle to be the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, there is no need to continuously attack me, the most hopeless young general.

“You!”

Huo Qubing shivered when he heard this and burned paper for me. I’m not dead yet.

If it weren’t for the overall interests of the coalition forces, he would have used the Overlord gun in his hand to punch more than a dozen holes in Cheng Yaojin’s body.

“Everyone, please be quiet and let’s start drawing lots.”

Wang Jian smiled at Huo Qubing and Cheng Yaojin, who were glaring at each other.

Place a wooden box filled with white origami paper on a mahogany round table in the center of the crowd. The number of white origami papers is the same as the number of people in the room.

“Uncle draws lots.”

Huo Qubing nudged Wei Qing. Wei Qing, apart from being decisive and brave when fighting, was usually more like a humble gentleman.

If Huo Qubing hadn’t urged him, Wei Qing might have waited until the end to draw lots.

“Generals, Wei Qing will take the first step.”

Wei Qing smiled apologetically at the people around him. It would be hypocritical to push the blame any further.

As the commander-in-chief of the Han Dynasty, whether Wei Qing wanted to be the commander-in-chief or not, he had to draw this lottery because he represented the will of the Han Dynasty’s 100,000-feathered army.

Since it is destined to be drawn, still pushing back and forth is a complete hypocrite in the eyes of the general who leads the army.

Wei Qing put his hand into the wooden box, randomly picked up an origami and opened it. There was nothing inside the origami.

Looking at the blank origami, Wei Qing only had a slight regret on his face, but he didn’t complain much. He suddenly smiled, put down the origami in his hand, and stepped aside.

“Why not?” Huo Qubing looked at the blank origami paper Wei Qing put down with some reluctance.

There are at least seven or eight generals who can command the coalition forces here.

But in Huo Qubing’s eyes, his uncle, the Han general Wei Qing, was the best candidate to be the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

“Then Cao will be the second one.”

After Wei Qing retreated, no one came to draw lots for a while. Cao Cao looked at the slightly cold draw, raised his hand to indicate, and reached into the carton.

The result is also a blank slate.

“General Li, it’s your turn.”

Cao Cao put down the white paper and said to Li Jing with a smile on his face, showing no trace of dissatisfaction or regret.

Because except for Wang Jian of Qin who did not draw, Cao Cao thought that these generals should still draw lots in chronological order.

In this case, there is no need for everyone to be modest. .

Li Jing was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood Cao Cao’s gaze. He smiled at the people around him, stepped out, and reached out to draw lots. The result was also a blank piece of paper.

“I won’t smoke anymore.”

Guo Ziyi bowed slightly to everyone. The Tang Dynasty had been in peace for a long time and had not experienced the Anshi Rebellion. Guo Ziyi commanded tens of thousands of troops to form formations, which was more than enough.

But in the battle of millions of coalition forces, such a large army is also mixed with various types of arms.

Guo Ziyi knew that this army of one million people was not going to exercise, but to go to the battlefield.

A tiny mistake on his part could plunge the army into the ocean and cause heavy losses.

Self-confidence is the key to success, but if you are overconfident, you are not far from destruction.

He didn’t even have the experience to command tens of thousands of troops in actual combat, let alone command nearly a million coalition troops and several times the number of enemy troops in a battle.

Guo Ziyi’s concession made many generals in the room have a slight affection for him.

This handsome man, who looks to be about thirty years old, has an elegant face and a tall body, has a strong sense of elegance in his body. He is more like a scholar who has read poetry and books, without any iron-blooded spirit in him.

At first glance, you can tell that he has never been on a battlefield.

The generals in the room had all heard about Guo Ziyi’s reputation. He had contributed to the reconstruction of the Tang Dynasty and was also a rare handsome man.

But these are just what they saw in the history books. If anyone really looks at the records of themselves in the history books and thinks that they can reach that level, it is pure idiotic behavior.

Because no matter how gorgeous and glorious things are written in history books, they are only the uncertain future, not the present.

Kublai Khan, the Yuan King of Mongolia, also shook his head. Mongolian Khan Meng Ge had long told him to keep a low profile. No matter how low-key he was, he must not do anything to steal the limelight.

Moreover, Kublai Khan, the Mongolian Yuan King, also knew himself. It would be okay if he did not win the position of commander-in-chief, and everyone would be happy.

If you win the position of commander-in-chief, that would be a real embarrassment.

Let the people here obey his orders?

Regardless of whether the commander-in-chief of the Qin State Wang Jian would agree, Kublai Khan, the Mongolian Yuan King, could be sure that the Eight-Nation Alliance would definitely not agree.

If the dispute persists, the Mongolian Khan Mengge failed to make up for the rift with Qin. Instead, the rift between Mongolia and the Eight-Power Allied Forces became wider and wider.

Seeing that he was the only one left, Yue Fei also stepped forward and took out a blank origami paper.

“Is it my turn, old Cheng?”

Cheng Yaojin looked at several commanders who had not been selected, his eyes were slightly bright, could it be that the position of commander-in-chief was really going to fall on him, Cheng Yaojin.

Putting the Bagua Xuanhua ax in his hand aside, Cheng Yaojin rubbed his hands with excitement and walked quickly to the carton.

“Yaojin, be quiet for a while.”

Qin Shubao looked at Cheng Yaojin who wanted to make fun again, pulled Cheng Yaojin back, and scolded.

Cheng Yaojin retreated somewhat unwillingly.

“General Wang, it’s your turn.”

Yue Fei put down the white paper in his hand and said respectfully to Wang Jian.

Wang Jian is a famous general worthy of his respect regardless of his age or military skills.

Wang Jian nodded, but also drew a blank.

“Uncle, it’s your turn again.”

Huo Qubing looked at Wang Jian and saw that Wang Jian hadn’t been hit yet, with a hint of surprise on his face. There was still hope for his uncle.

Others who didn’t draw lots didn’t say anything. Although there were a lot of origami in the carton, not everyone was qualified to touch it.

Soon the second round came to an end. With everyone looking at each other in confusion, once again no one won.

“Shouldn’t we really be the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces?”

Wang Jian and others couldn’t help but feel a little confused. No one was drawn in the first round, and no one was drawn in the second round. The origami was already halfway down.

“How is General Wang’s situation?”

At this moment, Prime Minister Li Si walked into the room and asked.

Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng didn’t care much about who would be the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. He had only one request, a general who could unifiedly command millions of coalition forces.

Prime Minister Li Si just glanced at the expressions of everyone in the room and knew that the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces had not yet been determined.

“Generals, what do you think of this? Emperor Qin’s ultimate goal is to forcefully land all enemy troops and reduce our losses. We line up in a row and push across them, dividing them into seven square formations. Just keep the battle lines consistent.”

Prime Minister Li Si’s political acumen is not comparable to that of the generals here. Although the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces is a very dazzling position, it is also a wall that separates the coalition forces from all parties.

Even if it does not affect this alliance, no one knows whether this wall will become a mountain blocking the coalition forces from uniting again in the future.

“This method is feasible.”

Cao Cao and Wang Jian were the first to react and smiled. Several other commanders also nodded.

“Our commander-in-chief is just a line, I might as well be a line!”

Cheng Yaojin picked up the Bagua Xuanhua ax on the ground, took a hard bite, and grimaced in pain.

I would rather choose an empty line than let him live through the addiction of being a handsome man. It is really abominable!
