Chapter 981: Chapter 941: Leng Yu’s Appointment

Just that one sentence left an unforgettable memory in Leng Yu’s heart.

She looked at Lin Yi with a somewhat vacant expression. Then she opened her mouth and hurriedly stood up.

However, the words that suddenly burst out of her mouth left the whole court in shock.

After standing up, she asked with confusion:

"Brother Lin Yi, are you King Dayou?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire court was stunned, not knowing what was going on.

This girl didn’t know that the person in front of her was King Dayou? How could that be possible?

Isn’t this girl sitting on the throne with the King at this moment?

Who else could be King Dayou if not the one sitting there?

All at once, everyone’s curious eyes turned to Leng Yu, while they also pondered Lin Yi’s previous words.

What did Lin Yi just say to call her General Leng?

Is this the newly appointed Grand General that Lin Yi mentioned before in a meeting?

Is this the General tasked with controlling Dayou’s military power?

But why is she so young?

Moreover, according to common sense, this girl should only be a Deputy General of the Border Army. How could she suddenly leap to the status of a Grand General? This clearly shows how much Lin Yi values her.

Of course, everyone was guessing the mystery behind all this.

Why does Lin Yi value her?

The most likely reason, 99% sure, is this girl’s appearance.

Indeed, everyone could see that her beauty was unmatched in Dayou Country.

Even the beauties previously chosen by Chen Shiren from various places could not hold a candle to Leng Yu.

"Haha, I suppose you could say so. But I have not officially ascended the throne yet. We will discuss this matter later, privately. For now, let’s settle your position."

At this point, Leng Yu jumped up immediately.

Not only that, but she also snapped out of her earlier shock.

At the same time, she seemed to have started gradually accepting Lin Yi’s identity.

Just now, during Lin Yi’s meeting, she was already trying to accept it.

Now, though still somewhat bewildered, she acknowledged Lin Yi’s identity.

After hearing Lin Yi’s words, she woodenly descended from the high platform where the dragon throne was located.

And stood in front of the court officials.

For the first time, standing below, she truly felt the majesty of Lin Yi, truly felt that terrifying sense of pressure, something an ordinary person couldn’t possess.

It could be said that this was the unique aura brought by the imperial identity.

Looking up at Lin Yi, seeing Leng Yu’s state, he curled his mouth into a gentle smile.

Such a smile left the court officials dumbfounded. Such a smile, when had they ever seen that?

This demon could actually have such a kind smile, how was this possible?

It seems this demon is truly doting on Leng Yu to the utmost.

Under the astonished eyes of everyone, under the somewhat wooden gaze of Leng Yu, Lin Yi’s voice once again echoed in the Imperial Council Hall:

"Leng Yu, take the seal. Currently, Dayou Country is being harassed by Yan Country’s soldiers at the city’s gates, while our old generals are becoming somewhat aged and frail, a critical time to employ talents.

I have discovered that my beloved has demonstrated remarkable achievements and exhibited unique skills during the defense against Yan soldiers’ invasion, revealing leadership and wisdom, which greatly gratifies me and the entire Dayou Country.

Now, I officially appoint Leng Yu as the Grand General of Dayou Country, commanding an army of 200,000."

As Lin Yi spoke these words, everyone was dumbfounded.

You must know, this army of 200,000 represents the largest force that can be mobilized at present, practically placing all of Dayou’s military power in Leng Yu’s hands.

Some might say, weren’t there more soldiers stated before? But don’t forget that the garrison troops from all over must be added together, right?

Once they’re dispersed, and still able to assemble 200,000 soldiers, this indicates the robust infantry force of Dayou Country.

If placed in other countries, they might not even gather 100,000 combat-ready soldiers.

Take Yan Country for example, although they simultaneously attacked 11 cities of six countries, they only had a total force of 130,000.

Hence, you can see, Dayou Country still boasts considerable military strength.

Plus, this army of 200,000 is mainly composed of infantry.

As for the cavalry? Besides the 10,000 horses Leng Yu seized previously at the Border Army, there are only 5,000 cavalry units.

At this time, Lin Yi’s voice rang out once more:

"The Border Army Camp at Shanhai Pass made a great contribution during this operation, seizing 10,000 warhorses, undeniably bringing us a massive new strength, allowing us to instantly form a 10,000-man cavalry.

Previously, we trained soldiers in this area. Although our supply of warhorses isn’t abundant, we’ve got many experienced riders.

Now with the warhorses acquired, we can have them instantly transform into cavalry for combat. All this should be handled by the Grand General.

The Border Army Camp at Shanhai Pass will keep 2,000 warhorses in reserve, the rest will be transferred to the central army."

Lin Yi obviously had his considerations for arranging matters this way. Although coming from the 21st century, aware of the strength of advanced weapons, and somewhat dismissive of horses, don’t forget, in this era, warhorses are elite combat forces.

As such, he couldn’t abolish cavalry and warhorses in one fell swoop.

Furthermore, utilizing these 10,000 warhorses efficiently to craft a 10,000-man cavalry unit would further enhance Dayou Country’s combat capability.

Leng Yu naturally had no objections to such arrangements.

If she had not known earlier that Brother Lin Yi was King Dayou, she might have felt disgruntled or had other thoughts.

But now, the one sitting above is her Brother Lin Yi, after all, isn’t everything hers also Lin Yi’s?

Moreover, weren’t the 10,000 warhorses seized by Brother Lin Yi himself?

Therefore, without any hesitation, Leng Yu bowed in acceptance, also taking on this responsibility.
