Fang Zheng knocked his legs against the horse's belly, leaned close to the messenger and whispered, "Go back and tell him something."
"What to bring?" the messenger asked curiously.
"Just tell me when you get back..."
"Hiss! Lord Fang, you are not kidding, are you?" The messenger suddenly raised his head and looked at Fang Zhengyi in surprise.
Fang Zheng's eyes widened as he said in a very serious tone, "What a joke! I'm being sincere. How can I joke with you? We're at war. Be serious!"
The messenger's expression changed constantly as he looked Fang Zhengyi up and down.
I'm not serious? Are you fucking mentally ill? Are you trying to frame me?
Fang Zhengyi said no more, returned to Li Yuanzhao, and whispered, "Your Majesty, it's time for him to return. We should also send someone to the other side to formally declare war, and return together."
"Come on! Who is willing to go on a mission for Dajing and declare war in the enemy city?" Li Yuanzhao turned around and asked loudly.
Zhou Tie was in the front and felt something in his heart. He turned his head and said to Xie Xian beside him: "Old Xie, if I go, will you remember it for me?"
"That's for sure. This first battle is of great significance. There's no danger. It's a good opportunity for you to earn a name for yourself and go down in history."
"Hehehe, I can't waste such a good opportunity..."
"Oh my god!" Zhang Biao's voice suddenly rang out behind Fang Zheng.
Li Yuanzhao's eyes lit up: "Zhang Biao? Come on, come on, that's great, then you go! When you come back, I'll give you a great military achievement!"
"Fuck!" Zhou Tie cursed inwardly and grabbed his hair in regret.
Zhang Biao is such a dog, how come he always gets ahead of him in everything!
It's not like you're going to fight, you're just trying to steal some chicken feathers.
Fang Zhengyi couldn't help but frown, and called Zhang Biao over and said, "Why are you going? Don't mess around."
Zhang Biao said, "I understand. I've seen it in a play. The main thing is that the battle will start tonight, and I want to go into the city first to take a look and be prepared. Otherwise, I will be at a disadvantage if I don't know the terrain."
Fang Zheng thought about it and said helplessly, "Whatever, it's just a formality, and you can also get some military merit. It's not dangerous to deliver a message. Be polite and come back as soon as you finish speaking."
"I know."
After Zhang Biao finished speaking, he rode forward.
The messenger looked at him for a few seconds, feeling inexplicably humiliated.
This guy... is not a civil servant, and he doesn't look very smart. He's wearing this coat in such hot weather.
I chose this person to communicate with. He is not here to insult me, right?
Before he could think about it, Zhang Biao had already ridden his horse towards the city gate, and the messenger hurriedly followed.
The two returned to the city, and the city gate opened a crack again.
The messenger led Zhang Biao to the top of the city wall to report.
As soon as they reached the top of the city wall, a dozen soldiers surrounded them. The leading soldier stepped forward and said, "Search your bodies!"
Zhang Biao immediately took a few steps back and raised his hand to stop him, saying, "I'll just stand here and talk. Stop searching."
"No need to search! He is alone and so far away from me, what is there to be afraid of?" Li Pan looked at Zhang Biao, who was dressed strangely in a coat, and asked in confusion: "Sir, are you... not hot?"
"I'm not hot... I'm here to declare war on the orders of His Majesty." Zhang Biao said, looking through the soldiers surrounding him, quickly scanning the city, memorizing the roads in his mind, "Well... Now that I've declared war, can we go now?"
"Hmm?" Li Pan was confused and at a loss for words. "Are you done? Aren't you going to say anything more?"
"No."
"....." Li Pan rolled his eyes, not wanting to pay attention to him. He turned to look at the messenger and asked, "Just now I saw you whispering with Fang Zheng, what did he say?"
"He said... uh... he said." The messenger stuttered, "He said the emperor asked your majesty to go home for dinner."
Bang!
A slap landed on the messenger's face, and Li Pan said angrily, "Are you fucking kidding me?"
The messenger covered his face and cried, "Really! I also think there is something wrong with Fang Zhengyi, but that's what he said!"
"Can I leave?" Zhang Biao asked impatiently.
The declaration of war had been completed, and the situation in the city had been roughly inspected. We were surrounded by soldiers and were not allowed to leave.
Li Pan's attention was drawn to him again. He stared into Zhang Biao's eyes, feeling uncomfortable.
Why does it feel like something is wrong today?
This guy...isn't he really a fool?
"How many soldiers did you bring this time?" Li Pan asked for some unknown reason.
The general beside him glanced at him woodenly.
Your Highness is so stupid that it makes people feel sad. Can anyone tell you this?
"Two hundred and thirty-seven thousand people...Oh, and two thousand Jinyiwei." Zhang Biao said honestly.
Damn! He actually said that! This number is almost the same as what they investigated!
The general was so frightened that his mouth was crooked and his eyes were squinting.
"Ha...ha! Good, very good!" Li Pan raised his eyebrows, with an unstoppable smile in his eyes.
Well, the other side really sent a fool over here.
"I'll ask you again, do you know how to arrange your marching route and battle?"
"I know. We will start from here and take the shortest route to Sangjak, and then return to the capital." Zhang Biao said.
Li Pan was amused, his eyebrows furrowed in a frown, and he said to the generals beside him, "They are so arrogant, so why are we trying to lure the enemy in? Can't we just let them in directly?"
The general covered his mouth with his fist and whispered, "Your Highness, you didn't believe his lies, did you? He must be pretending to be a fool and came here to mislead us. And... And why did you bring up the matter of luring the enemy deep into our territory... It's not appropriate, is it?"
"Pretending?" Li Pan pointed at Zhang Biao and said, "Have you ever seen someone pretend to be a fool so well? I think this person is very trustworthy."
