"Let them stay for now." Zhou Cheng's sudden words startled Zhou Zhenguang, who looked up.
The Zhou family generals inside the tent also looked up at Zhou Cheng.
But no one spoke up in rebuttal.
While gently rubbing Cheng Xianyi's small hand, Zhou Cheng explained the existence of Nanyue Academy and recounted the unexpected events he encountered on his journey back to Jiangling City from the capital.
If he hadn't been paying attention beforehand!
It seems the Zhou family has been completely fooled by the Nanyue Academy.
After listening to the whole story, Zhou Zhenguang said angrily, "Nanyue Academy has also set its sights on the weapon? They captured the Black Dragon, kidnapped my future daughter-in-law, and now they want to stir up trouble between the Zhou family and Chenggui Pavilion?!"
"How could a place dedicated to teaching and educating people get involved in the court's disputes?!"
"This is absolutely outrageous!"
"Cheng'er, later you should write a letter to your third sister, Qianyan. She is currently studying at Nanyue Academy. Ask her what happened. If it's convenient, tell her to go back to Yan Kingdom as soon as possible!"
Zhou Zhenguang never expected that news of the weapon would spread so quickly throughout the Central Plains. How long has it been?
Is Nanyue Academy secretly sowing discord?
If even academies that teach and educate are so envious of weapons of mass destruction, what about other forces? What about other countries? It seems we need to speed up the process of taking over Yan Kingdom.
Possessing such a valuable treasure will inevitably attract the covetous eyes of various countries, regions, and forces.
Only by conquering the entire Yan Kingdom can we withstand the impending crisis!
A decision flashed in Zhou Zhenguang's eyes. He looked at his son and found that Zhou Cheng was also looking at him. The two of them had obviously thought of the same thing and planned to speed up the process of getting Emperor Yan off the throne.
“Father, the sharpshooters are almost ready. Let the army rest for a few days. The person sitting in the high position in Yan Kingdom should also step down.” Zhou Cheng squinted, his eyes filled with a dangerous glint.
He continued, "As for Yun Hui and the more than 10,000 troops in the east..."
"Father, you don't need to show up, and neither do I. We don't need to arrange a way for them right away. Just leave them hanging for now, ignore them, and pretend they don't exist."
"The gates of Jiangling City are also open; they are free to stay or leave."
"Let's wait and see how they perform before making any further arrangements."
"But in any case, Yun Hui and his men's treatment and future prospects can never compare to those of the first batch of Zhou family soldiers who stayed with them through thick and thin."
Ignore it, ignore it, and don't ask about it.
Should we keep Yun Hui and the others hanging for a while?
If these people can't take it and leave on their own, then let them leave. Anyway, the Zhou family doesn't need any more people, so it doesn't matter.
If these people can all hold on, it means they have a relatively strong will. Zhou Cheng will find a place for them to go, but some core positions and generous benefits are out of the question.
In a while!
Zhou Cheng plans to assign a loyalty rating to all his soldiers.
The more loyal a soldier is, the higher his rank, the more attention he receives, and the better his treatment.
"It'll be dinner time in another hour, right?" Zhou Cheng seemed to remember something and looked up at the general in charge of this area: "What are the soldiers eating today?"
"Young master."
"Breakfast was rice porridge, dry biscuits, and an egg."
"I haven't had time to eat lunch yet. The imperial court's people are attacking the city and haven't stopped even now. Tonight I should have a bowl of coarse rice, radish and pork bone soup, with a layer of meat broth poured over the rice. It'll be delicious."
"Since your return, the soldiers have been getting fatter and fatter, and they all have rosy cheeks."
The archers guarding behind Zhou Cheng felt a surge of emotion upon hearing their general's words.
