Chapter 272: The Child is Unhappy

Prince Tuning twisted the fine black powder on his fingertips, and the black powder slipped into the gaps between his nails.

But he didn't care at all.

Gunpowder, which was supposed to be available only in Vietnam, came into their hands. He praised: "These spies are still useful."

"Khan, the Yue Dynasty's troops are inferior to ours. We are just lucky to have an extra divine soldier to help us."

"Now that we have it, Vietnam's advantage is gone."

"The Khan has long intended to recover the lost territory. Now, it is our turn to take revenge.

They gathered their men and set out with great confidence and great momentum.

On the way, some people were looking forward to the scene of conquering Vietnam in one fell swoop.

"I heard that the Vietnamese girls are very tender and delicious!"

Another soldier retorted, "Commoner women are nothing to behold. The wives of officials are the most delicate and pretty."

"Not to mention women, even men have smooth skin because they are well-fed and well-maintained."

"Fuck you! I'm not interested in men."

"There's always someone interested, right? After the siege, not everyone can get a share of the pretty women."

One person was even more excited: "Once we invade the capital of Vietnam, there will be many dignitaries there, and they are all very pretty."

"I don't dare to be bolder. Think about the royal family. I heard that the crown prince of the Yue Dynasty was a woman."

"You must have heard it wrong. How can a woman be the crown prince?"

"Do you want to gamble? You'll know once you get it. If it's a girl, I'll play with her. If it's a boy, you'll play with him."

"Fuck you, I told you I'm not interested in men."

"If you are interested in men, what's a prince of Yue Dynasty? Isn't the emperor of a fallen country more attractive?"

Someone who knew a lot about the Vietnamese Dynasty explained to them: "There are many officials and their wives in the capital, but the people in the southern part of the Vietnamese Dynasty are all very young and talented."

They were daydreaming, but before the army even reached the border, they received urgent news that the Vietnamese army was attacking the city, ordering them to move forward at full speed.

When they arrived, they were in despair.

Who can tell them what those strange yet powerful weapons are?

Why can the gravel shot out of that iron barrel spray so far?

Why do stones thrown from a trebuchet explode the moment they hit the ground?

In the first battle, Tu Ning's army was not completely annihilated, but at least half of it was lost.

Prince Tu Ning, who led the army, had lost his ambition to achieve great things, and his dream of being rewarded for his achievements was now filled with only fear.

After a great victory, Bei Jingchu and a group of generals sat in the big tent.

She asked, "There are too many defenders in the rear, why don't they all go to the front?"

"Let's gather all our troops at the front line and finish the battle as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Bei Jingchu took out a bottle of ointment and smeared it on his cheeks. He raised his bronze mirror to look at himself and sighed, "The wind and sand here are too strong. My face is dry. Even if I apply ointment five times a day, it won't work."

“It’s hard to stay one more day.”

Someone disagreed: "Your Highness, but this will weaken the defense of important places such as grain and grass."

Bei Jingchu rubbed her sore wrist and felt sorry for herself.

It turns out that the crown prince also suffers from occupational diseases. When the workload increased, he actually injured his wrist.

She replied: "Tu Ning doesn't know that the defense of the grain and grass is weak. They are now suffering from the loss of their troops and are unable to take care of themselves."

"Alright, alright, that's it."

The generals looked at each other in bewilderment, "This..."

They all looked at Mu Chuyuan, the deputy general who really called the shots.

However, the deputy general seemed to have been drugged by the prince. Although he looked suspicious, he supported him and said, "Your Highness is the commander-in-chief, and your military orders are as strong as a mountain."

"Your Highness, we will do whatever you say."

Everyone was extremely shocked and didn't understand why even Mu Chuyuan would follow the child's outrageous words.

After going out, everyone felt like they had lost their parents, worried about the future of this war.

"Even if we have the help of divine soldiers and abundant food and grass, we can't resist the commander-in-chief's reckless attack."

"The prince is a genius in politics, but, but......"

But after a long while, he did not dare to say bad things about Chu Jun in public.

However, everyone else can guess what is left to say.

He is a prodigy in politics, but military affairs and politics are two different things.

He must come to join the fray, and it is enough for him to gain some experience as a young general, and then take on the role of head coach as soon as he arrives.

Even Deputy General Mu was forced to not resist due to the prince's tyranny.

The comrades were deeply saddened and felt that the Mu Chuyuan, who used to say offensive things but was upright and incorruptible, had changed.

"There's no defense at all. What if Tu Ning sneaks in?"

On the side, a general echoed in a low voice: "Yes..."

"The food and fodder must be sent before the troops arrive. If even the rear is attacked, we will still lose even with the advantage of firearms..."

Taking advantage of the gap, he secretly left a mark in a secret place.

Inside the tent, Mu Chuyuan asked directly this time: "Your Highness, why did you do this seemingly foolish thing?"

"What do you think?"

Bei Jingchu smiled and said, "It's great that Vice General Mu now believes that I don't make decisions arbitrarily."

Mu Chuyuan, who had been slapped in the face several times, pursed his lips and said, "I don't completely believe it either, but if Your Highness is really messing around, I will gather my generals and discuss it again."

Seeing that Bei Jingchu just wanted him to guess, he chose to ask the guard: "What is your highness planning?"

Bei Qin threw up his hands: "I'm not a worm in her stomach, how can I guess everything?"

"But I think Her Highness is trying to set a trap. After all, if she doesn't use such a big broken ribbon, I will suspect that Her Highness has been bewitched."

Bei Jingchu picked up another bottle of lip balm to apply. The weather at the border was really dry, and her lips were covered with dead skin. She had never looked so delicate in her life.

After scooping a piece of lip balm with a small spoon, she applied it while instructing, "Indeed, I'm not that stupid."

"Deputy General Mu, arrange for those you absolutely trust to quietly guard the food and military supplies in the rear."

"Maybe, we're about to catch the spy."

Mu Chuyuan stood up in shock, "There's a spy in the barracks?!"

"How did Your Highness know that?"
