Chapter 159 Don't Underestimate the Enemy
The letter said that the emperor had sent troops to help.
But the general leading the troops was neither Guo Yalun nor Xue Zhonggui, but a woman.
Moreover, this woman is the useless princess known to the people of the capital - Princess Zhan.
"Your Majesty is trying to destroy our Great Xia Kingdom!" Cui Guanru shouted at the letter in his hand.
Hearing this, his guard Yi Haisen quickly corrected him:
"General, you must never say this, you must never say this, be careful of the harm that comes from your words, be careful..."
"Hahahaha... The Emperor actually sent a woman to lead the troops. Isn't this trying to destroy our Great Xia Kingdom?"
Cui Guanru began to speak incoherently.
Although Cui Guanru is a deputy general guarding the border here, although his ability is not very good, he is loyal enough.
Just ask yourself, who would be willing to stay in such a place for a long time and live in fear every day?
Among all the court officials in the capital, he is the most loyal.
After hearing this, Yi Haisen finally understood why General Cui had such a big reaction just now.
A woman would be frightened even at the sight of blood, let alone fighting in battle.
"Deputy General Cui, who...who did the emperor send to fight?" After hesitating for a moment, Yi Haisen couldn't help but ask.
"Princess Zhan, the Emperor has sent Princess Zhan to the battlefield." Cui Guanru replied sarcastically.
"Princess Zhan?" Yi Haisen asked in disbelief.
What on earth is the emperor thinking?
Princess Zhan is a notorious good-for-nothing in the Great Xia Kingdom.
Not to mention her, even a woman with both literary and martial talents in the capital might not be able to adapt to living in this frontier area.
What’s more, she is a spoiled person like Princess Zhan?
She was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even though she was not favored, she was raised like a young lady.
When have you ever seen such a scene of fighting and killing?
Even if she had seen it, could she bear it?
But Yi Haisen is calmer than Cui Guanru.
He had heard a little about the emperor, but he was not the kind of person who would act on impulse.
Thinking of this, Yi Haisen asked again: "General Cui, could it be that this Princess Zhan has some extraordinary qualities that we don't know about?"
"Outstanding qualities? Hahahaha...Her greatest strength is that she's neither good at literature nor martial arts."
"She made a fool of herself at the banquet a few years ago, so if you ask me what her special quality is, I can only say that her special quality is that she can make a fool of herself."
A few years ago, when Cui Guanru was still in the capital, he attended several banquets in the capital.
Regarding Yu Mengqing's actions, he could only say that she was a woman who was not even as good as an ordinary woman.
So, he really didn't know what was so special about Yu Mengqing.
Yi Haisen: “…”
General Cui has always been tolerant towards others, and this is the first time he has seen General Cui so angry.
Come to think of it, General Cui wrote a letter to the capital a year ago, requesting the emperor to send troops for support.
However, the emperor kept delaying.
Well, now they sent troops, but they sent a woman instead.
Isn't Your Majesty causing trouble for General Cui?
At the same time, the Savage Country.
"Report..."
"Come in!"
"Reporting to the General, the Great Xia Kingdom has sent another 100,000 troops to support us, and they set out three days ago."
As soon as he entered the house, the spy reported loudly.
"Well, their war king is dead. Who will lead the troops to fight this time?" asked General Yang Zangzi.
"General, it's the Princess of War, Yu Mengqing."
"Yu Mengqing? Are you saying that the Great Xia Kingdom sent a female general?" Yang Zangzi asked in disbelief.
"Yes, General!" replied the spy.
When replying this, the spy's tone was obviously full of pride.
I guess the Great Xia Kingdom is out of people, so they had no choice but to send a woman to lead the troops.
"Hahaha..." After hearing this, Yang Zangzi burst into laughter.
Could it be that Chu Murong has gone insane?
Why would they send a woman to fight?
The more he thought about it, the louder Yang Zangzi laughed.
"Brother, don't underestimate the enemy." Yang Zangzi's second brother Yang Kezi said.
He has always been cautious and is the one with the most ideas among the three brothers.
He is the best in terms of strategy and in winning people’s hearts.
But compared to his elder brother Yang Zangzi, he doesn't have the ambition to lead.
"No matter how powerful she is, she is just a woman. Can she fight and kill the enemy?" The third brother Yang Muzi said with a sneer.
It’s no wonder they have such thoughts. Since ancient times, how many women have been able to fight and kill enemies like men?
What's more, this Princess Zhan is a well-known good-for-nothing in the Great Xia Kingdom.
Is such a person worthy of fighting with them?
"Third brother, these are what I heard from others. We didn't see it with our own eyes, so we can't generalize." Yang Kezi couldn't help but persuade him.
For some reason, he always felt that Chu Murong of the Great Xia Kingdom was not such a person who did not know the difference between the important and the trivial.
What's more, this is a matter of life and death for the entire Great Xia Kingdom.
"Second brother, you're worrying too much this time. Yu Mengqing is notorious in the Great Xia Kingdom. I'm sure of that."
"She has no other talents, but she is notorious for being ugly. Although she was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she is not good at either civil or military affairs, and her personality is also extremely cowardly."
"I guess the reason she went on this expedition must be because she held Chu Shiheng's military token in her hand. Chu Murong had no choice but to send her on the expedition."
Yang Zangzi said as if he knew everything.
He has been fighting against the Great Xia Kingdom for so many years. If it weren't for Chu Shiheng, they would have captured the cities near the Great Xia Kingdom long ago.
It is even possible to take over the entire Great Xia Kingdom.
It can be said that the entire Great Xia Kingdom relies on Chu Shiheng.
So after hearing the news of Chu Shiheng's disappearance, they immediately sent troops to fight.
In less than a year, they had captured three of their cities.
Not only that, he defeated these Daxia soldiers so badly that they had no power to fight back.
"Brother..."
"Okay, second brother, you don't have to say anything. We'll just act according to circumstances."
Seeing that his second brother Yang Kezi wanted to say something, Yang Zangzi immediately interrupted him.
The three brothers have always been the main generals of the Manjing State.
For so many years of war, it was all thanks to these three people.
So in the entire Manjing Kingdom, others might say something bad about their king.
But no one would ever say anything bad about the three brothers.
