"Useless trash! Get out of here!!"
When the general of Qi heard that his injury was incurable, he was in a state of shock and picked up something from beside the bed and threw it at the military doctor.
"Bang!"
The object missed its mark and landed near the medic's feet, but it terrified him. He quickly apologized and left the tent, fearing that a moment's hesitation would cost him his life.
This general is too difficult to please. He indulges in too many vices and doesn't know how to control himself. Now he's developed health problems. Who can he blame?
The medic stepped out of the tent, turning back with a sigh of relief, a flicker of disdain crossing his mind. Did he look down on someone who was into homosexuality, or was he a general? Bah!
After the military doctor left, the Qi general threw another tantrum before calming down.
...
Although the anger on the Zhao side was not as great as that on the Qi side, it still made Qi Jiguang, who had just woken up, turn pale.
He looked at the Qi Kingdom jade pendant in his hand, thinking about the strange feeling he had after waking up this morning. It was even worse than before; not only was his whole body sore and weak, but even the area behind him was starting to hurt.
This also made him realize what was going on with his previous behavior!
He summoned a military doctor to treat him, but the doctor stammered and told him to rest for a few days and it would be best to abstain from sexual activity for the time being. This statement confirmed Qi Jiguang's suspicions.
Moreover, he had a bad feeling that if what happened before was true, then he might have been the one on top before, but last night he became the one on the bottom.
Qi Jiguang clenched the jade pendant in his hand fiercely. The people of Qi? Did they really think they were invincible and unstoppable?
How dare they trample on their Zhao general like this! Trample on the dignity of their Zhao state? Do they really think their Zhao state is dead?!
A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. They dared to do this, so they must pay the price. Even if I can't defeat them, I will make sure the Qi people suffer greatly!
"Someone come here!"
Qi Jiguang couldn't swallow this insult, so he shouted directly outside.
"General!"
A soldier walked in and saluted respectfully.
"Reorganize your forces and depart immediately for Chushui County to attack the Qi army!!"
Qi Jiguang gritted his teeth and growled.
"But isn't the Emperor...?"
The young general hesitated. The new emperor wanted them to be stationed here and keep an eye on the Xia Kingdom at all times!
If they were to withdraw their troops and leave, the emperor would blame them, and they would be in deep trouble. Besides, the new emperor is unpredictable, and they would be the ones to suffer in the end.
"As for the Emperor, I will speak to him myself. Besides, he is a new emperor, and as a new official, he will surely want to make some achievements. If I conquer Qi, the Emperor will definitely be pleased."
Qi Jiguang said with a stern face, what he said made some sense, so the young general saluted and left to reorganize the troops!
Qi Jiguang watched his retreating figure and snorted coldly. The new emperor had obtained the throne through dirty means, so how could he possibly win the hearts of the people? He was one of those who were not convinced!
However, the emperor's methods were too ruthless, and he dared not confront him head-on. He could only pretend to submit. This time, the new emperor sent him out not only to test the strength of the Xia Kingdom's military, but also to get rid of him and prevent him from causing trouble for the emperor in Biandu.
He came out, but his father was still in Biandu, so he couldn't possibly raise an army to rebel.
This is killing two birds with one stone! Their new emperor is really cunning.
An hour later, since it was his first time, Qi Jiguang applied medicine and the pain subsided. He could still bear the rest.
He immediately reorganized his troops and led them toward Chushui County.
Besides crossing Baiqiu Mountain, there is another main road to Chushui County. It goes north along Henghe River and bypasses Baiqiu Mountain.
They couldn't possibly go into the mountains; it was too dangerous, and if they encountered danger, their 100,000 troops wouldn't be able to escape easily.
Moreover, they only had 100,000 troops, while Qi sent 300,000. In a battle between the two armies, Zhao was already at a disadvantage.
If they suffer any further losses on the way, then this staff will have no chance of winning at all.
So Qi Jiguang didn't even think twice and went straight to the main road.
...
A major battle between the two armies was about to break out, but Zhao Yingfeng and his men at the foot of Baiqiu Mountain were quite relaxed. Brother Hu had caught another wild boar, and it was quite big, enough for about a hundred of them to eat.
So right now they're busy grilling meat and don't care about the situation in Qi and Zhao at all.
"General, we haven't been out working for two days. Will all our previous efforts be in vain?"
Biaozi, who had been leisurely on the mountain for two days and was almost moldy, couldn't help but ask a question.
The soldiers around them pricked up their ears to eavesdrop and nodded secretly. They were soldiers; if they weren't fighting, why were they just playing around and wasting their lives?
"No rush, let's both get some rest. We might not be able to rest in a couple of days."
Zhao Yingfeng calmly flipped the roasted meat in his hand, glanced at the impatient kids, and said calmly.
"oh!"
Biaozi went back disappointed; it seemed he was going to have to endure two more days of bad luck!
Zhao Chenhai glanced at them, then leaned indifferently against the tiger, enjoying his roasted meat.
After arriving here, he really didn't have to worry about anything! His second uncle didn't let him go on the night missions, nor did he let him know about them. Every day, he either rested in the camp, read books, practiced martial arts, or led people up the mountain to chat with the animals.
During this time, he actually made some animal friends and was so happy that he forgot all about home. He regained the childlike innocence that his age should have and was no longer so concerned about his second uncle's plans!
Zhao Yingfeng grilled a piece of pork belly and handed it to Zhao Chenhai.
Zhao Chenhai reached out and took it, and started eating without any hesitation. He runs around in the mountains every day now, and his appetite has grown quite a bit.
