This time, the Qiang people launched a large-scale invasion of the Shang Dynasty's borders. The Shang Dynasty also sent a general to lead an army to fight back, but unexpectedly, the entire army was wiped out.
This put the Shang Dynasty in a dangerous situation. The Qiang were the Shang Dynasty's arch-enemy and were quite powerful. If they were not careful, it could very well lead to the destruction of the Shang Dynasty.
Zaun fell into deep thought. Could this trial be to see if they could resolve the merchant's crisis?
He hurriedly asked, "Who is the most skilled in warfare among all officials and civilians today?"
Fu Yue replied, "Of course it is Your Majesty."
Zuan: "..."
"What time is it? Stop flattering me and tell the truth."
"Flattery?" Fu Shuo was completely bewildered, clearly not understanding the meaning of the word. "I am simply stating the facts. Your Majesty, you are the number one general in our dynasty. The one who was ranked second before led his troops to meet the enemy, but his entire army was wiped out."
Zuan: "..."
After a long silence, he sighed, "It seems I have no choice but to take action myself."
Since things had come to this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it. After all, he had thousands of years of historical experience and had played so many war games, so surely he couldn't be completely useless.
Fu Yue hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Your Majesty, you cannot leave Yindu!"
Zuan was taken aback: "Why?"
Fu Yue looked at him with suspicion: "Has Your Majesty forgotten that in recent years Your Majesty has tried to take back the power to appoint officials, which has affected the interests of a large number of old nobles? They have long been dissatisfied with you. Now, Yindu is beset by internal and external troubles, and undercurrents are already surging. It is good that you are guarding this place. If Your Majesty leaves, I am afraid that the world will change in an instant."
Zuan was immediately annoyed: "So, what's your idea?"
Since this guy is a famous and capable minister in history, he shouldn't have earned his reputation for nothing.
Fu Yue glanced at Pei Mianman beside him and said in a deep voice, "This matter will probably require the Queen's intervention. You must know that we cannot afford to lose this battle and must send out the remaining main force of the capital. However, we don't have many people we can trust. If we hand them over to someone with ulterior motives, even if we win, it will bring disaster. Only the Queen will not betray the King. In addition, she brought three thousand elite troops from her fiefdom with her. If they are combined with the King's direct troops, they will surely be able to defeat the invading Qiang."
Upon hearing that Pei Mianman was to be involved, Zu An was horrified: "No, absolutely not!"
