Peng Ze felt that continuing like this would be torture for both of them.
It must be incredibly difficult for two people who are mutually in love to put on this show for others every day in this kind of environment.
If he doesn't produce the defense map of Kuncheng soon, Gu Hui will definitely be punished by the Queen or the Princess.
He didn't want to see Gu Hui get hurt.
It would be better to find out the situation here, communicate with Kuncheng, and start a war directly.
He was a son of the Peng family, who would rather live standing than die kneeling.
But Gu Hui traveled to several places for him, risking her life to come to this most dangerous place, and he had to take responsibility for her.
The next evening, Gu Hui told Peng Ze about the activities of Princess Jinghe and He Sanniang.
The information they gathered came from Dugu Jiu, from the Tenth Princess's residence, from what they saw while wandering aimlessly around the city, and from their deliberate interactions with the general of the Goddess Kingdom.
From these messages, Peng Ze had already figured out the defenses of the Goddess Kingdom.
Previously, the Great Zhou had never figured out the defenses of the Goddess Kingdom because the Goddess Kingdom was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they would suffer great losses if they tried to conquer it.
Sending spies would almost always expose the men, and the women would either die in the Goddess Kingdom without finding any useful information, or directly betray the country and join the Goddess Kingdom.
It's really rare for Gu Hui and the other two to remain undetected; these three are such good actors.
Aside from He San Niang, Gu Hui and Princess Jinghe only stayed in the army for less than a year, and their personalities and temperaments were very similar to those of the girls from the Goddess Kingdom.
Upon receiving their message, Peng Ze immediately drew up a map of the city's defenses.
Another night of acting ensued. The next day, Gu Hui went to serve the Queen, and Peng Ze took the opportunity to make the information given to Kunzhou as detailed as possible.
The letter also stated that they should go into battle as soon as possible, otherwise their identities would become increasingly dangerous.
Actually, it's all his fault. If it weren't for him, Gu Hui and the other two would have been able to hide very well.
However, with his presence, there will definitely be more people watching him and Gu Hui. As soon as Gu Hui is exposed, Princess Jinghe and He Sanniang will also be in danger.
...
On March 11, General Peng received a carrier pigeon from Deputy General Xu. Upon opening it, he looked grave and ordered someone to summon Xue Qianyu and Madam Peng to General Peng's study for a meeting.
"The goddess has so many soldiers?" Madam Peng exclaimed in surprise.
The two countries had only engaged in brief skirmishes and had never fought a large-scale war; they had no idea about the internal situation of the Goddess Kingdom.
Those who come to Kuncheng to do business are all citizens of the Goddess Kingdom. Even if there are nobles or royalty, they are just servants from those households, and they never mention military matters.
"This is an estimate made by Aze and Huiya based on what they know. There are still things they don't know!" General Peng said gravely.
"General, this is the royal city. To the north of the royal city are only two more cities. After crossing a mountain, it will be half a day's ride to the Kun River. I propose that we attack directly, catching the Goddess Kingdom off guard, and then launch a full-scale attack. The naval troops will remain to defend the border! We can capture these two cities and use them as strongholds, stationing troops to the east and west to guard against reinforcements from the Goddess Kingdom! We can then march south and strike directly at the royal city of the Goddess Kingdom," Xue Qianyu said, pointing to the map.
"General Xue, how many troops do you think we should send? Should we send the Peng family army or the Yi family army? When should we launch the attack?" General Peng stroked his beard and looked at Xue Qianyu.
