After Mei Niang arrived, there was a commotion outside the Government Affairs Hall.
That was the sound of officials from the outer court starting their first day of work after their holiday.
"It would be good to recruit more female soldiers. Mei Niang agrees!"
Tong Xin and Cui Min lived close to each other, so they entered the Government Affairs Hall together.
"Tong Xin also agrees."
After listening to Ji Wan's opinion, she immediately expressed her opinion.
It would be better if there were more people in the female barracks. All the women who are bullied at home could be brought to the female barracks to learn martial arts so that they would not be bullied!
There is no tedious work or hard work to serve parents-in-law and husbands in the barracks.
There is only the deep friendship with comrades and the pleasure of slaughtering the enemies!
It was His Highness who let them know that women can do things other than serving their parents-in-law and husbands and managing the household!
A few days ago, Tong Xin had exchanged all the military merits she had won on the battlefield into gold and silver and sent them back to her family. She wanted to use this to sever her ties with that family.
It's not that she has grown independent and become ungrateful, but she was deeply heartbroken by the determination shown by her father and stepmother when they recruited her into the military camp!
She didn't care what others thought. Even if she was accused of being unfilial, she would still leave that house.
There is nothing worth remembering about her father and stepmother who only exploited her, despised her, and finally sold her.
Once she entered the military camp, she had become independent. If she wanted to in the future, she could marry a man and start her own family!
Ji Wan nodded: "Okay, then this matter is settled."
"Your Highness, do you want to go straight to Qiandao Province?" Cao Ke has a good relationship with Cui Min. He heard some news from him yesterday, so he couldn't help but ask today.
"Yes." Ji Wan pulled at his sleeves which he had turned up when he was having dinner in the government affairs hall.
"In this case, Your Highness must be careful of the support and encirclement from Guangyuan County and Wan County, which are connected to it." Cao Ke glanced at the two prefectures near Qiandao State on the map.
Or rather, there are only these two states and counties connected to it.
If a war were to break out, we must be cautious about getting these two states and counties to come to our support.
"Okay, I understand what Xingzhi said, and I will consider it carefully.
I will also go with you on this expedition, and Cui Rucheng will serve as your military advisor.
At that time, Chuzhou, Fanzhou, and Qingshizhou will be handed over to Xingzhi for management.
I will let Yuqing go with you."
"Yes."
Over there, Pan Zhuo pinched his goatee and pondered for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, what are your plans after taking Zhengyang City?"
Ji Wanhui: "Then it is the entire Qiandao State.
Then, we will attack Guangyuan County in the southeast. Guangyuan County is closest to Qiandao Prefecture, which will allow our troops to attack in one go."
Pan Zhuo nodded, knowing in his heart that His Highness would not easily let go of Guangyuan County, which was the closest to him.
“The route Your Highness envisioned yesterday was from the Thousand Islands State all the way to the southeast.
But Your Highness, please forgive me for being blunt, but all the prefectures and counties along this route are prosperous in people's livelihood.
Since there are such prefectures and counties, their military strength is naturally not bad. Your Highness should be more cautious."
Pan Zhuo's words were sincere, and Ji Wan did not refute him. Instead, he picked up the map and studied it for a while before saying, "Yuqing is right. I will act with caution.
And with Cui Rucheng by my side to dissuade me, I won't act rashly.
If this route isn't available, there are other options. My ultimate goal is to reach the east."
After Ji Wan finished speaking, the advisors in the government office nodded in agreement.
Who understands what a good boss this lord with clear goals and who listens to advice is to this group of counselors!
——
Zhengyang City is a coastal city, with the sea to the east and Guangyuan County and Wan County to the southeast.
It is backed by the sea and has abundant aquatic products, while facing Chuzhou and Fanzhou, the terrain is flat and vast.
In the evening, the red afterglow covered the gate of Zhengyang City.
In Zhengyang City, on the newly built lookout tower after the earthquake.
"Hey, Brother Zhang, what are you going to do after you get off work?"
The man called Brother Zhang put down the whip in his hand, stood up from the low stool to stretch his body, turned his head and looked at the two centurions who asked questions, and they understood each other tacitly.
"Of course I'm going to drink wine. I heard there's a new beautiful courtesan in the building.
I don't have enough money to buy an Oiran, and you won't let us go and see her?"
The centurion who was asking the questions originally wanted to go to the brothel to drink and have fun. Now that his goal was achieved, he smiled cunningly.
"I have to go and see it! But Brother Zhang is really exaggerating. How much money can an Oiran make?
I heard that he was lucky. He was trapped under a beam during the earthquake, but was rescued by our governor himself.
Hehe, I'm afraid she'll become the governor's concubine in a few days. We'd better hurry up and go see her, lest she becomes the governor's wife and it's not our turn to see her anymore."
After saying that, the two of them smiled at each other with lewd looks in their eyes.
The man called Brother Zhang stretched and yawned, squinting his eyes. Just as he was about to turn his head, he saw a dark mass in the distance rolling towards Zhengyang City. He didn't know what it was.
"What is this, Brother Zhang?" The centurion who asked the question also saw it, and immediately widened his eyes and asked.
Brother Zhang frantically lit the beacon in his hand, his legs shaking. "Idiot, that's an enemy attack! What the hell have you learned since entering the barracks?"
The centurion who was asking the question widened his eyes in fear when he heard this. He was just a person who came in through the back door by relying on his family background and gilded himself.
There has been no systematic training in combat knowledge in the barracks.
"Enemy attack!" "Enemy attack!" "Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!" "Enemy attack!"
Panic shouts and warning drums instantly spread throughout Zhengyang City.
When the people who were busy with their spring plowing work heard the sound, they all raised their heads and looked towards the north with fear on their faces.
Ji Wan heard the loud sound of drums in the marching army.
Half a year later, she had grown a little taller.
This is all thanks to Yang Guanshi's occasional feeding.
His Highness is one year older. Although his leg disease shows no signs of improvement, Yang Guan feels an indescribable sense of satisfaction when he sees that His Highness is stronger.
This time, the four people leading the troops were Ding Wu, Tong Xin, Huyan Mei, and Xiang Yang.
Ji Wan had sent all the other generals to various countries as spies, and now only these four were left.
Cui Min still served as the military advisor.
"Report!!! Your Highness, we are still three miles away from the moat under Zhengyang City.
Mr. Rucheng has sent General Ding to lead a small team to the city gate to declare war!"
"Report! Your Highness, General Ding has engaged the enemy's vanguard."
The scouts passed the information from the front line to Ji Wan one by one.
Ji Wan and his two advisers, Cui Min and Liang Yan, sat firmly in the rear of the army, while the surrounding soldiers prepared the land and built defensive fortifications.
"I understand. All matters on the battlefield are to be under the command of Mr. Rucheng and General Ding. Remember this!"
