Chapter 453: The Tide of Spirit Beasts, An Ancient Legend!_2
Translator: 549690339
A few days before the arrival of the spirit beast tide, the Star-Moon Army evacuated all the residents of Northern Ice River Town. However, they did not retreat themselves and chose to stay in Northern Ice River Town to guard the encampment.
On the surface, the Star Moon Army’s General Li Yueming said that he would stay behind to guard North Ice River Town.
However, Northern Ice River Town was originally a mobile city. Since ancient times, there were not many permanent residents. If the Star Moon Army moved the people away, what would they stay to guard?
Could it be that he was guarding a lonely place?
With such an abnormal phenomenon, it was hard not to think deeply.
Did this mean that the Starmoon Troop had not received the order to retreat?
Thinking of this, many people immediately thought of the strange silence in the court recently.
Suddenly, they all felt enlightened.
It was most likely because Li Yueming, the son of the Marquis of the South, and the Star Moon Army were growing too quickly, causing the emperor to be suspicious and wary.
Therefore, the imperial court wanted to take advantage of this spirit beast tide to deliberately suppress and wear down the power of the Star Moon Army, so as to achieve the effect of balancing and restricting the development of the Li family.
After all, the previous generation of the Li family was Duke Zhenguo, and their influence in the court was already very great.
The current leader of the Li family, the Marquis of Southern Mountains, Li Nanfeng, was still leading troops to fight in the western border. He also had quite a high prestige.
Now, as the younger generation of the Li family, Li Yueming’s growth momentum was so rapid.
He was only in his twenties, but he had already commanded an army. He was only a general in name.
It was no wonder the emperor was suspicious and wary of such a cruel family of three!
If not for the fact that the Qin army was pressuring the Zhou Dynasty, the emperor might have attacked the Li family.
After thinking about it. this was the only explanation for why the Star-Moon
Army did not retreat from Northern Ice River Town.
But no matter what, this method was a little too cold.
After all, the Star Moon Army had just repelled the Qin army for the Great Zhou.
How long had it been?
The officials in the royal court began to hit him when he was down, deliberately suppressing and harming the Star Moon Army.
The Star Moon Army had never suffered a loss from the Qin army and had never lost on the battlefield. However, in the end, they were ruthlessly stabbed by their teammates who were protecting them from behind…
It could only be said that the human heart was truly sinister and unpredictable!
Therefore, after seeing the ins and outs of this matter clearly.
The group of people did not dare to make a sound. After all, the emperor was behind this.
Even the officials in the royal court were tight-lipped about this, so how could a group of idle personnel like them dare to comment?
After lamenting the evils of the human heart.
He could only hope that the Starmoon Troop’s losses would not be too severe.
Otherwise, if the Northern Lands were to fall because of this, many of them would suffer together with them.
Hundreds of millions of people watched nervously.
Four days later, the spirit beast tide in the north finally receded.
Everyone held their breaths nervously.
You Aotian, who was in Ding Bei City, was naturally the most concerned about his disciple.
Therefore, as soon as the spirit beast tide receded, he personally requested for a spirit horse and rushed to Northern Ice River Town, wanting to see if his disciple was alright.
The outside world’s guess was correct. The order to withdraw Li Yueming from North Glacier Town was actually issued by You Aotian in private.
Before the Star Moon Army was officially established, You Aotian could still give orders when it belonged to the Northern Battlefront Army’s scout camp.
However, ever since Li Yueming led his team out of Zhenbei City…
In fact, it was equivalent to breaking away from You Aotian’s control.
After all, the Star Moon Army and the Northern Battlefront Army were of the same rank in name.
Although Li Yueming was only a fourth-grade general, his actual power was almost the same as You Aotian’s general.
Under such circumstances, only the emperor could give orders to the Star Moon Army.
But this time, the imperial court did not issue any specific documents.
As a general who had experienced hundreds of battles, You Aotian naturally knew what this meant.
The imperial court did not order a retreat.
If Li Yueming retreated hastily, he would be leaving his post without permission.
The imperial court would probably teach Li Yueming a lesson.
However, if Li Yueming didn’t retreat…
In the face of the mighty spirit beasts, even if the Starmoon Troop didn’t die, they would still be skinned, and they would also be repaired.
In any case, the top wanted to play the whole person in the moment, and the bottom no matter what they did, they were all wrong.
Because of this, You Aotian hated politics the most.
Because in the eyes of those damn politicians.
The people and the army were not living people at all. They were chips that could be added or deducted at any time on the balance of interests.
He didn’t want Li Yueming to suffer such a blow.
Therefore, he privately gave Li Yueming an order to retreat.
If the imperial court were to blame him, he, as his master, would block it.
However, he did not expect that Li Yueming would do this so as not to implicate him.
He actually chose to fight the spirit beast tide to the end.
You Aotian’s heart was filled with complex emotions as he rode his horse toward Glacier Town.
Along the way, You Aotian had also met people who were returning home with their families.
After asking, he found out that they were both heading to the same destination, Northern Glacier Town.
You Aotian couldn’t help but be filled with questions.
If he remembered correctly, a few years ago, when Li Yueming said that he was going to Northern Glacier Town, he had read through the files of Northern Glacier Town.
If the scroll records were correct, there should be at most 8,000 to 10,000 households in Northern Ice River Town, right?
