Upon hearing this, Cha Yuanzhen stroked his chin and then said:
"I have fought against Qin Ze before. Two years ago, he led his army to fight against me, but the empress later recalled him, so the battle never ended in a draw."
Cha Yuanzhen's lips curled into a disdainful smile, and he continued, "If the fight continues, he will surely die by my hand!"
Upon seeing that disdainful smile, Tu Shadong panicked. Tu Tianque had acted the same way before, dismissing Qin Ze, and the result was...
He quickly said, "Your Majesty, you must not underestimate the enemy!"
"It's not that I'm being overly cautious, but times have changed. Now that two years have passed and Qin Ze has come to Beiliang from the capital, he's like a tiger returning to the mountains. He's unstoppable and has grand ambitions. We must take him seriously."
Cha Yuanzhen smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Yes, that's natural."
“I, Cha Yuanzhen, am not the kind of person who is arrogant and disrespectful. I will make all the necessary preparations for Qin Ze’s arrival and will not let him gain any advantage over me.”
"Tu Shadong, your tribe has now been destroyed by Qin Ze. From now on, you will follow me and become my strategist. Look, this is the geomantic map of Da Gan. I have already obtained it. After we deal with Qin Ze, you will follow me to march into Bei Liang. After we take Bei Liang, you will follow me to contend for the Central Plains!"
Cha Yuanzhen stood with his hands on his hips, staring intently at the geomantic map, looking incredibly ambitious.
Tu Shadong nodded, but he was still worried. How could Qin Ze be so easy to deal with?
Cha Yuanzhen's gaze shifted, and seeing Tu Shadong's worried expression, he laughed heartily and pulled Tu Shadong out of the tent:
"Strategist, look at my troops!"
"An army of 300,000, all clad in armor, and composed entirely of elite soldiers and capable generals!"
"Furthermore, look over here. The shields used by these 50,000 troops are incredibly sturdy. You say Qin Ze's archers are very strong? Can they shoot through my shields?"
When Tu Shadong saw this group of shield-bearing soldiers, a look of shock appeared in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, where did you obtain these shields?"
Cha Yuanzhen smiled slightly and patted Tu Shadong on the shoulder. "It was purchased from Tu Yuan Kingdom. They are rich in ironware. They are currently negotiating with Da Gan over territory. Da Gan may seem to be in a prosperous era, but it is actually on the verge of collapse."
"But this is a good thing for us; it's time to extend our territory a bit further!"
Tu Shadong nodded quickly, his eyes showing joy.
"Excellent! With such troops, what is there to fear from Qin Ze!"
"If he comes here, he will surely make this his burial place!"
