Otherworld Advance Team-Chapter 1813 - 1806: My Mother Steps In

When accepting the appointment from Ichuan Fei, Jiuyun Shuang felt very anxious inside, always wondering how to deal with the Yipa cavalry if he couldn’t borrow private soldiers.

Although his father clearly wouldn’t stand by and watch him be destroyed by the Yipa troops.

But what if, what if his father really hardened his heart? In that case, for him, death was a small matter, but the defeat of the royal army was a huge issue.

However, after a month-long discussion and study with Cheng Ziang, he already had enough confidence to dare to face tens of thousands of Yipa cavalry with just ten thousand infantry.

The key to victory lay in the Kunzhou they were riding, a strategic tool they had not previously considered but was out of reach for the three divisions of Yipa.

The advance team had long expressed that the Wen Family’s imperial court was too conservative in using the Kunzhou, merely as a means of transportation, and not truly treating it as a weapon.

In fact, the Kunzhou was the Dongsheng military’s most perfect war weapon.

As long as they had the Kunzhou, the Dongsheng army could ignore any mountains, rivers, or cities with gates. Whenever they wanted, they could attack any place at any time, and the enemy relying on ground troops for defense would find it impossible to cope.

It was because of the Kunzhou’s existence that Cheng Ziang constructively proposed the jumping tactics, using the Kunzhou to force the enemy, even on land, to be like islands in the ocean, having to group and hold strong instead of supporting each other.

The Dongsheng Empire’s proclamation was delivered directly to the leaders of the three Yipa divisions, not a secret surprise attack operation.

Therefore, it must be that the three Yipa divisions had already mobilized for war and were gathering forces on the front line.

Jiuyun Shuang planned to bypass the front line and continuously attack the rear supply centers of the three major divisions. In this way, the three Yipa divisions would inevitably abandon the front line and return to aid.

At this time, they would choose to attack massively and defeat the weakest. In this way, the alliance of the three Yipa divisions would inevitably collapse, each division’s forces would begin to shrink back, effectively forming isolated islands.

At this stage, by conquering them one by one, they could eliminate the forces of the three Yipa divisions and subdue this nomadic tribe on the grassland.

It was based on the above strategy that Jiuyun Shuang dared to assure that he could defeat tens of thousands of cavalry with only ten thousand infantry.

For him, the family’s private soldiers could only be considered a supplement.

He hoped his father would send troops to confront the Yipa cavalry on the front line, so he could safely harass the rear and avoid facing the main force from the start, facing a decisive battle.

But even if he couldn’t get them, he didn’t think it was particularly important, as long as he fought fast and retreated quickly, the Yipa cavalry wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.

So, when Jiuyun Zheng made it clear he refused, Jiuyun Shuang didn’t even think about it and immediately returned to the camp.

He wasn’t truly angry with his father, just felt there was no need to waste time here, and it was better to set out early.

However, although he wasn’t angry, Jiuyun Zheng was about to explode with anger.

Jiuyun Zheng didn’t expect his son, of whom he was so proud, had become so unfamiliar, considering everything from the perspective of the imperial court rather than from the family’s stance.

It’s no wonder Jiuyun Zheng thought this way because for a long period, these state clans only considered their own interests, rarely taking into account the interests of the imperial court.

It was only after the emergence of the Wen Family that this situation slowly began to reverse. Some major clans also gradually started to consider the interests of the court and the state, but most of the time it was because the court’s interests were closely related to their own interests. freёnovelkiss.com

Someone as pure as Jiuyun Shuang was indeed rare, so Jiuyun Zheng felt he was a bit dim-witted.

Seeing his father’s rage, Jiuyun Ke looked helpless, hesitated for a long while, and then cautiously said, "Father, why not let mother go and speak to him, maybe she can persuade little brother to come back."

When Jiuyun Shuang came to say goodbye, his mother, Gaofeng Yu, stood by his side. The two exchanged merely a glance, and although there was no communication, they understood each other’s thoughts, illustrating the saying ’a mother knows her child best.’"

Upon hearing his son’s suggestion, Jiuyun Zheng looked at his wife, who didn’t have a pleasant expression and coldly said, "A son and father have a conflict, and it’s up to me, the mother, to be the mediator? That’s not appropriate, is it?"

"Mother, please persuade little brother, don’t let him oppose father anymore," Jiuyun Ke implored helplessly.

"I think Shuang’er is correct, as a minister, one should follow imperial orders. Why would the patriarch transgress public principles for private reasons, and trade benefits for righteousness?" Gaofeng Yu said straightforwardly.

"You, are you trying to infuriate me too..."

Jiuyun Zheng’s face changed again, so angry that his breathing became rapid.

Even though Gaofeng Yu was his wife, he completely lacked any authority in front of her.

Although nominally, he and the Gaofeng Family’s patriarch were both heads of major clans, in reality, the Gaofeng patriarch was superior to him in both seniority and cultivation.

He was able to marry his sister into the family, so naturally, he couldn’t afford to slack off.

Moreover, it had been mentioned earlier, the society of East Prosperity Nine States did not have a clear patriarchal system. Benefiting from the cultivation system, the status of men and women was essentially equal.

This meant that although Gaofeng Yu was only the patriarch’s wife, her status wasn’t inferior to that of the patriarch.

For their children, Gaofeng Yu as a mother was a significant authoritative presence.

Jiuyun Shuang dared to openly oppose his father, but in any case, he wouldn’t dare to defy his mother, this is the reason.

"Mother..." Jiuyun Ke quickly approached Gaofeng Yu, holding her hand like a child begging, "Please, go and persuade little brother, he’s most obedient to you."

"Persuade him into what? Persuade him to leave ten thousand soldiers at home, not to go out and fight the rebels?"

"Mother, little brother finally came home, at the very least, let him stay a few more days, you also want to see him, don’t you?"

Such a scene was striking because Jiuyun Ke, with his tall and robust build, stood before his mother Gaofeng Yu like a small mountain.

But even such a rude man was ingratiatingly begging his mother, something even Jiuyun Zheng, his father, was not entitled to.

"Well, I’ll go see him then." Gaofeng Yu sighed deeply, gently brushed her son’s hand away, and shook her head helplessly.

"That’s great, with mother stepping in, little brother is sure to change his mind." Jiuyun Ke said happily.

His idea was not bad, Jiuyun Shuang was indeed very obedient to his mother, and if she requested, he might even disobey public orders.

But the prerequisite was that mother Gaofeng Yu would actually open her mouth and ask him to stay, which in truth seemed unrealistic.

This time, both Jiuyun Shuang and his mother Gaofeng Yu had a notable commonality when fighting for the Wen Family’s imperial court, both being staunch supporters of the Wen Family.

So there was plenty for mother and son to discuss, and Gaofeng Yu supported her son’s actions a lot.

Persuading Gaofeng Yu to tell her son to comply with his father’s demands was almost impossible. What Gaofeng Yu intended to do was to act as a messenger between father and son, conveying thoughts from both sides.

After all, when Jiuyun Shuang faced his father directly, there was a natural disadvantage in terms of hierarchy, so only his mother could intervene.

In any case, mother’s Gaofeng Yu’s status was similar to that of father Jiuyun Zheng, so having her convey Jiuyun Shuang’s opinions was the most appropriate.

Thus Gaofeng Yu left father and son, and walked along the path towards the military camp. The cavalry lined up on both sides of the road had not yet dispersed, but Gaofeng Yu showed composure and was not affected by the momentum of these men at all.

As soon as Jiuyun Shuang returned to camp, a soldier reported, "Gaofeng Superior Lord is visiting."

Upon hearing the surname Gaofeng, Jiuyun Shuang’s expression changed instantly, and he quickly got up to greet her.

He had just reached the door when he saw his mother, Gaofeng Yu, standing at the camp gate, smiling at him.

"Mother." Jiuyun Shuang, elated, approached her eagerly, calling out excitedly.

"You didn’t say much to your mother, just left, have you forgotten about me?" Gaofeng Yu smiled and asked.

"I wouldn’t dare, I was just upset with father earlier, I’m sorry if I was rude to you..." Jiuyun Shuang bowed his head, humbly said.
