âHaha, a bunch of bastards running faster than rabbits.
âDidnât you all curse non-stop? Letâs see whoâs the son of a bitch.â Old General Zhou laughed.
The Emperor also smiled when he saw this. He stood up and said, âUncle, letâs go back. When we return, we can discuss how to fight the next battle.â
âAlright, it just so happens that you guys are tired from traveling for days. Letâs rest early.â After Old General Zhou finished speaking, he followed them down the city walls.
After returning to the Generalâs residence, the Emperor and Zhou Huaiming first visited Zhou Huaiyu. Although he didnât look well, he was still in good spirits, and the two of them heaved a sigh of relief.
When Zhou Huaiyu saw them enter, he immediately went forward and bowed.
âCousin, you donât have to be so polite. Howâs your wound recovering?â The Emperor asked after helping him up.
âThereâs nothing for the Emperor to worry about. Mother Godâs medicine is really good. My wounds are almost healed. If I donât do intense exercise, Iâll be fine.â
âGreat! You should rest well and help us manage the rear. As for the battle, leave it to us.â
âYes, I will definitely take care of the internal affairs.â
âLetâs go. Letâs draft a rough plan.â The Emperor went straight to the meeting hall and called all the people above the rank of general over.
He carefully studied the terrain of the North Pass, including every small path.
He even learned about the situation on the Northern Continent.
After learning that the King of the Northern Continent had brought another 100,000 troops this time, a total of 300,000 troops, he raised his head and said, âIt seems that the Northern Continent really wants to swallow my dynasty.â.
The number of soldiers on his side, including the ones he brought along, was only 220,000. In terms of numbers, there was still a huge gap.
âThis is also what this old minister is worried about, so I have been avoiding this battle. I wanted to wait for you to come over and ask how we should fight this battle and to what extent.â
âThe Northern Continent has repeatedly invaded our borders, and they want me dead.
âThis new king is a warmonger. Since he has his eyes on our country, it will be difficult for us to have a stable life.
âIn that case, we will not only defend but also attack. We will beat him until he surrenders so that the border will not be harassed for at least 20 years.â
âYour Majesty is wise.â The generals agreed in unison.
âGo down and prepare. Train your soldiers well. When the time comes, we will be able to show our Great Ming Dynastyâs power.â
âRoger that!â The generals immediately dispersed.
âHave you finished investigating the spies in the army?â The Emperor stopped Old General Zhou and asked.
âYour Majesty, Iâve found five people. One of them was arranged by King Hui.
âHowever, Iâm not sure if there are any more.â
âLet them be dead chess pieces.
âIn the future, only tell the commander the battle plan before going to the battlefield. Other than that, keep it a secret. Also, the kitchen and the military doctors must be strictly investigated.â
âUnderstood. I will go down and make arrangements.â Old General Zhou left quickly.
After the Emperor washed up, he ate and went to sleep.
On the other side, the King of the Northern Continent was furious after he returned. He turned to look at King Hui. âKing Hui, what did they throw earlier? Why did it smell so pungent?â
âIf Iâm not wrong, there should be two things thrown.
âThe pungent smell should be made of chili powder.
âThe other is filled with drugs, which is why many fainted.â King Hui replied.
âDid the Ming Dynasty already have this kind of thing long ago?â The King of the Northern Continent asked again..
