"I sent someone to investigate, and there should be 800,000 troops."

"How many of us are there?"

"There are 200,000 troops stationed at the border. The court has sent reinforcements, but they haven't arrived yet."

"Okay! Let's arrange a tent for them to stay in first." Chu Younan looked at the mother and her two children behind him.

General Jiang wanted to say something but didn't open his mouth. After all, the Queen had just passed away, and Chu Younan must be in a bad mood. No one could say anything if he just wanted to take care of a child and a servant.

No wonder he was blind. Su Bei was wearing a military uniform and a cloak on the outside. The wide hood covered most of her face. Even her mother would probably have difficulty recognizing her.

But when Chu Younan led them towards the tent, General Jiang seemed to hear the two children calling the little girl "mother".

General Jiang couldn't help but shake his head. He could understand the emperor looking for a woman, and he could also understand the emperor bringing a woman with him, but the queen must have died under strange circumstances if the child called this woman mother so soon.

But this matter was not something he could take care of. The Northern army had 800,000 soldiers, while the Wu Kingdom only had 200,000. He had to be on his guard at all times.

Chu Younan had no idea of ​​his thoughts. The first thing he wanted to do was to send someone to investigate why the Northern Army was approaching but they didn't send any troops.

He ordered Jiang Liu to call the scouts. Just as he finished speaking, the little bun's head popped out from under the table, "Daddy, let them take this."

What the little boy was holding in his hand was a huge spider that was red and purple. Even though these people were familiar with knives and arrows, they were still scared when they saw it.

"What is this?" Chu Younan said in a deep voice.

"Spider." The little bun answered honestly.

Chu Younan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He rubbed his head and asked, "What's the use?"

"Let them put this spider on a person, and that person will answer any question you ask." The little bun looked at him proudly.

Everyone present was shocked.

With this thing, you can get twice the result with half the effort!

But the spider was so big that anyone would be a little scared to hold it. The two scouts looked at each other, and neither of them dared to go over.

Seeing this, Little Baozi walked forward and placed the spider in Scout Soldier A's hand.

"Oh! Isn't it scary?!" Scout B blurted out.

Scout A's eyes were dull. "It's furry and a little itchy..."

"It...it's crawling on your head! I wonder if it will bite you!"

"No..." Scout A was still in a daze, "It said it disliked my smelly head..."

Who knows if what he said was true, but the spider flew over his head, then came down and crawled onto his shoulder.

Now, the little bun was worshipped by everyone in the tent and became a god. The two scouts also went to investigate.

The two men hid their bodies all the way to the enemy camp. It happened to be night and the Northern Army camp was silent.

There was a heavy snow a few days ago, and the ground was all white, but the snow had melted inside the military camp because of the coming and going of people.

The two men, dressed in white, walked slowly forward until they came to the junction of black and white. Scout B whispered, "Change clothes!"

As he spoke, he quickly took off his outer cloak, and the white clothes instantly turned into black.

Although the scout soldier did as he was told, he was slow to react because of the spider and his movements were a little slow.

Scout B was almost going crazy. You know, scouts are very dangerous and they can lose their lives once exposed.

Just when he was anxious, a man came from the opposite side.

It was not known whether the man had discovered them or not, but he was walking straight towards the place where the two were hiding.

Scout B suddenly had an idea and said to Scout A, "Put the spider on him!"

Scout A moved, but his movements were not so agile, so he was discovered by the man as soon as he moved.

"You... come..." Before the man could shout, the spider had already crawled onto his shoulder. At the same time, Scout A also woke up.

Who am I? Where am I? This was his first reaction.

However, he was originally the leader of the two, but now Scout B has taken the initiative.

"Let's go!" Scout B said to the Northern soldier.

The two men captured a Northern soldier without any effort. However, this man might have been a temporary dispatcher, so he was wearing thin clothes. He was freezing when he was brought back to the Ukrainian military camp.

There has never been such a smooth interrogation. Chu Younan personally interrogated the Northern soldier and knew the other party's identity without even using mind reading.

This man was called Dongnan. He was the personal attendant of the Northern General Qu Liu. He went out to relieve himself in the middle of the night and was brought back by a scout.

Chu Younan easily found out the reason why the North had not sent troops.

Although Qu Liu was given the title of general, this group of soldiers had always been under the command of Qu Lang. Although people followed him, no one obeyed him.

Qu Liu was also a ruthless man. He summoned several major commanders and poisoned them all to death.

But the commander still has his confidants, and some of them told the gossip they heard. Some said that Qu Lang was killed by Qu Liu, and others said that the eldest son Qu Feng had never returned and might have been killed by Qu Liu.

The fact that Qu Liu killed the general was not glorious in the first place, and with these rumors, his entire reputation was ruined, and the soldiers all stopped listening to him.

Therefore, Qu Liu was like a rat crossing the street in the army, and everyone wanted to kill him. If Bei Yanming had not personally appointed him as the general, he would have been killed long ago.

Chu Younan asked everyone to go down.

"Bei Yanming will definitely learn about this situation soon and will send other generals. If the Wu soldiers haven't arrived by then, I'm afraid this battle will be very difficult." Chu Younan said with a frown.

Su Bei walked out from behind the screen and chuckled, "Then, let's let their generals have constant conflicts and no one will submit to the other!"

It was just like a child saying something in anger, but Chu Younan's brows actually relaxed.

"Abei's words are more effective than my imperial edict. I feel relieved with your words." Chu Younan held her hand.

She hadn't fully recovered from giving birth, and had been traveling a long distance, so Chu Younan wasn't in a hurry to have sex with her during this period. Firstly, he was afraid of making her pregnant again, and secondly, he wanted her to take care of her body.

But even if they can't have sex, it doesn't stop them from being affectionate with each other. A hug is always fine, right?

"Your Majesty!" Suddenly, the curtain was lifted, bringing in a gust of wind. General Jiang rushed in, but turned around in a hurry, "I am sorry for being rude!"

Su Bei quickly walked behind the screen. It was so embarrassing that he was seen by someone.

After she hid herself, Chu Younan asked casually, "What's the matter?"

General Jiang turned back and suddenly couldn't remember what he wanted to say. He couldn't help but keep glancing behind the screen. Finally, he couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, is it a bit inappropriate to have a woman in the barracks?"
