We must also defeat the enemy so badly that they dare not retaliate.

Only in this way can we deter the enemy from taking advantage of our vulnerability.

The reason why Nanning dared to use force at this time was because fighting had also broken out in the northwest.

The drawbacks of Daqing under Emperor Rongsheng's rule gradually became apparent.

Regardless of the dynasty, strong military power is essential to deter enemy nations.

Can a civil official drive away the enemy with just words?

Both civil officials and military generals have their missions.

Emperor Rongsheng's ideas were fundamentally unsuitable for Daqing, which was surrounded by enemies on all sides.

The consequence of suppressing military generals was that even a small country like Nanning dared to seize land from Daqing.

Even though the battle reports from the southwest indicated the loss of two cities, Emperor Rongsheng only allocated 100,000 troops to the capital.

These people are absolutely loyal to the emperor.

Only then would he feel at ease letting Lin Muheng hold the command seal.

Lin Muheng took on this task because he wanted to save the people of the southwest from their suffering.

Nowadays, whoever is sent to the front lines will inevitably have to weigh the pros and cons.

Lin Muheng, however, was different; he only wanted to win the battle and drive the enemy out of Daqing.

Whether the emperor would be wary of him was not within his consideration.

Jiang He followed the two furtive soldiers silently, watching them walk a long way.

I have no idea what they're up to.

Until they crossed a mountain and came to a river.

Jiang He suddenly realized.

Those two deserve to die!

If they succeed, this team will be truly ruined.

Two people took out medicinal powder from their pockets and were about to pour it into the river.

Jianghe and Yeyu immediately rushed over and grabbed their hands as they were about to pour the powder into the water.

"stop!"

The soldier turned pale upon seeing the two people descending from the sky.

They were grabbed by the neck and their hands were twisted behind their backs. "Tell me, who sent you?"

When the two realized their plan had failed, they immediately tried to crush the poison in their mouths.

"Want to die? Not so easy." Jiang He immediately snatched the powder from their hands and shoved it haphazardly into the soldiers' mouths.

He wanted to see what kind of powder this was.

The water in this river will definitely pass through the area where the army is stationed, and the soldiers will drink the water from this river.

Ye Yu followed suit and immediately stuffed the powder into another soldier's mouth.

"Cough cough cough..." The two coughed desperately, trying to spit out the medicine powder.

Jiang He simply scooped up some river water and stuffed it into their mouths to dissolve the powder quickly. "Trying to play with me? You're still too green."

Jiang He clapped his hands.

Suddenly a foul odor wafted over, and Jiang He disgustedly shook off the person whose hands were being twisted.

Night Rain also smelled it, and he threw the person away.

The two men were deathly pale, covering their buttocks with their hands, their contorted faces clearly showing immense pain.

Jiang He kicked him, "You guys deserve to die! Putting down such a big bag of laxatives is bound to cause a delay."

He dislocated the jaws of both of them.

These two people couldn't even bite their tongues to commit suicide.

They even pried out the poison hidden in his mouth.

These two packets of medicine were intended to be placed in the water for the 100,000 soldiers to drink.

Now, with almost half of the drug stuffed into his mouth, the dosage is far too high.

Before the time it takes to drink a cup of tea was up, both of them had stopped breathing.

However, they kept their mouths shut and did not reveal a single word about Prince Jin before they died.

Jiang He didn't care.

These people are all suicide squad members; trying to get them to talk is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

So be it, he's dead!

But how many such people are hidden in the military?

It's impossible to guard against!

Even their men knew with their toes that all the princes vying for the throne were suspects.

Jiang He took the medicine powder back to report.

Lin Muheng's face darkened. "The person behind this is truly ruthless. If the soldiers drink water mixed with medicine, it will delay them for several days, and the people in the southwest will suffer for several more days."

Jiang He looked at Lin Muheng with concern, "We don't know what will happen yet, I'll send more people to keep an eye on things."

Lin Muheng nodded. "If you find any troublemakers, kill them immediately. There's no need to report it."

The most important thing now is to get to the southwest as soon as possible; Lin Muheng doesn't have time to deal with the likes of the Prince of Jin.

Just because of their actions, Lin Muheng is determined to fight for the people of Daqing.

A man who doesn't value the lives of ordinary people—if Daqing fell into his hands, it would be a disaster.

"Pass down the order: depart in two hours!"

"yes!"

Jiang He immediately sent someone to deliver the message, while he himself went on patrol.

He was worried.

Two hours later, the army set off.

Lin Muheng rode on his horse, leading his soldiers in a grand procession southwestward.

Throughout the journey, Lin Muheng remained highly vigilant, knowing that someone might use various means to stop them from advancing.

However, several days passed, and everything remained calm without any unusual occurrences.

A question arose in Lin Muheng's mind: Had the other party given up?

But he dared not relax in the slightest and continued to urge the team to speed up.

However, they were ambushed in a remote mountain village.

This time, they were actually going to kill them.

There are still such audacious and reckless people in Daqing.

They came to a narrow mountain path, where huge rocks rolled down from the mountain.

This is not just slowing down the march.

This is going to cost Lin Muheng and his soldiers their lives.

Lin Muheng was furious.

Why would these people do such heinous things for that position?
