Upon hearing the Emperor's words, Shen Hebi knew that the Emperor was not blaming him, and he was no longer as upset as before. "Your Majesty, since that is the case, I will go and summon all the generals. If they know that you have arrived, their morale will surely be greatly boosted, and they will launch a counterattack against the Xiongnu in one fell swoop."
The Fourth Prince agreed. The situation was urgent, and he needed to quickly ascertain the situation in the military camp. If the Prince Consort and Wuxiha successfully persuaded the Dayuan Kingdom to send troops, then he also needed to prepare accordingly.
Shen Hebi and the Seventeenth Prince went down to summon the generals, while the Fourth Prince stayed in the tent and changed into his dragon robe. The Fourth Prince, dressed in white, looked much more dignified and solemn after changing into the dragon robe.
The sound of war drums rang out from the main tent, and all the generals gathered in the main camp upon hearing the drums. Fourth Master also went to the main camp led by the soldiers.
When the Fourth Prince arrived at the main camp, he saw that Hongli and the Seventeenth Prince were already waiting inside the tent. The Fourth Prince sat in the position of the Grand General, and his imposing aura immediately intimidated Hongli and the Seventeenth Prince.
Before long, a line of generals clad in armor filed out. Some wore armor with red flags, some with white flags, and some with blue flags; they were all imposing, strong, and full of vigor.
Unaware that the Fourth Prince had arrived at the tent, they assumed the person in the seat was the Grand General. Upon closer inspection, they realized it was the Emperor himself sitting there. "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" the crowd knelt and bowed.
"Rise, my beloved subjects. You have all worked hard these past few days!" The Fourth Prince wanted to reassure the troops. After all, while his presence could boost morale, he didn't want to put too much pressure on them.
General He Yi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind to say that! We have suffered a crushing defeat in these battles, and we have truly failed to live up to Your Majesty's trust!"
The Fourth Prince also shared his conversation with General Shen Hebi with the others. The soldiers were deeply moved by what the Fourth Prince said. The Emperor not only came to the front lines but also did not blame them, which was truly admirable.
One by one, the generals arrived, and the Fourth Prince explained the purpose of his visit. "Generals, the purpose of my personal expedition is to encourage you and boost the morale of our Great Qing. As long as you work together, you can defeat the Xiongnu and restore peace to our Great Qing!"
"Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is wise..." The generals were immediately filled with high spirits, ready to fight the Xiongnu to the death. Hongli looked at his father's majestic appearance and the generals' ambitious demeanor, and felt that he still had much to learn from his father.
Fourth Master waved his hand, and the generals stopped. "General Shen, what is the current situation?" Fourth Master did not intend to tell them that there were people in the enemy army familiar with the Eight Banners formations, for fear of disturbing morale.
"Your Majesty, every time our army engages in battle with the enemy, I feel that the enemy is able to counter and break through our strategies one by one. I think that if this matter is not resolved, it may be detrimental to our army." Shen Hebi analyzed the current situation with the Fourth Prince.
Fourth Master felt that Shen Hebi had already discovered the anomaly, and it seemed that this matter needed to be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too late to bring it up again when the morale of the army was low.
"After those few rounds, have you discovered any weaknesses in the enemy's defenses?" If the enemy has already revealed a disadvantage, then perhaps we can specifically target that point to break through their defenses!
Shen Hebi looked troubled. "Your Majesty, to be honest, after several rounds, we've been constantly being chased and attacked. We simply haven't found any weaknesses in the enemy's defenses." Hearing Shen Hebi's words, the Fourth Prince fell into deep thought...
