Tang Huan transmigrates to a desolate land as a minor county magistrate, so poor that even the county office leaks wind. After enduring hardships, he finally resolves to change his fate. Through fi...
Many people were surprised to see Tang Huan arrive.
With a fiery temper and a strained relationship with Tang Huan, Reading said gruffly, "Lord Tang has certainly made a name for himself, but he has brought considerable trouble to Daqing."
Sensing Redding's hostility, Tang Huan sneered, "Trouble? According to Lord Redding, you should have a good fight with the Northern People? Then I'd like to ask, do you plan to personally lead troops to deal with Gongshan Liqun, the God of War of the Northern Region?"
Reading was speechless.
Liu Danqing said with a sullen face, "Perhaps we can negotiate with the people of the Northern Region and maybe reduce the amount of supplies they are asking for to half, or even less."
Tang Huan said coldly, "Foolish. They're thinking about making sacrifices before even fighting. What's the difference between them and cowards? Now the Northern Region is proposing a martial arts contest. If Daqing wins, they won't be able to take anything with them, and they'll leave Daqing with plenty of gains."
Wu Lanxi stopped the argument and looked around, saying, "I invited you all here today to ask for your thoughts on who Daqing should send for the three matches in three days."
The crowd immediately started talking all at once, and most of the names were from the military, with Pang Conglong being mentioned repeatedly.
Pang Conglong's face was gloomy as he frankly said, "If I were facing Gongshan Liqun, I wouldn't have a 100% chance of winning."
Someone immediately worried, "Even General Pang has no chance of winning, so isn't our Great Qing doomed to lose?"
An atmosphere of panic and unease began to permeate the Imperial Study.
Wu Lanxi looked at Tang Huan, who sighed helplessly in the face of the Empress's serious gaze, and asked Pang Conglong earnestly, "What if General Pang doesn't need to personally deal with Gongshan Liqun?"
Pang Conglong affirmed, "Apart from Gongshan Liqun, no one else in the Northern Region delegation is a match for me. I am confident of victory!"
"With only one win, how can we win the match?" someone asked this weighty question.
As everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, Tang Huan spoke up: "I have a way to secure a victory, but I must ensure that General Pang wins one match."
