However, the war was not over. Although the prime minister's army successfully resisted Zhao Ji's night attack, they also paid a huge price. Many soldiers were injured or even sacrificed in this battle. Zhao Ji and Li Ling's army did not mean to give up. They began to plan the next round of counterattacks, hoping to achieve the final victory through continuous attacks.

This war is no longer a simple fight, it has become a test of human nature, will and wisdom. Both the prime minister and Zhao Ji and Li Ling are thinking about how to achieve the final victory in this war. Their soldiers silently endure the pain and fatigue, they hope that this war will end soon.

However, the war was not over.

Although the prime minister and the armies of Zhao Ji and Li Ling were constantly planning and implementing various tactics, the war seemed to be in a stalemate. Both sides were struggling to figure out how to break this stalemate, and this stalemate was also testing their endurance and determination.

The prime minister began to think, and he realized that this war must have more changes and innovative thinking. He began to study Sun Tzu's Art of War, trying to find new inspiration from it. With his efforts, the prime minister's army began to adopt some new tactics and strategies, which not only made his army more flexible in battle, but also made them more psychologically indestructible.

Zhao Ji and Li Ling also realized the severity of this stalemate, and they began to reflect on their own tactics and strategies. They decided to start learning from the experience of other wars and began to gradually adjust their tactics in practice. Their troops also began to receive some new training to learn how to better adapt to and deal with the prime minister's tactics.

In this war, the two sides began a battle of intelligence and creativity. They constantly tried new tactics and strategies, and constantly adjusted their thinking to try to find a way to break the deadlock.

However, the war did not end quickly. Although both sides were trying hard to find a chance of victory, the city became dilapidated because of the war. People began to question the necessity of this war and began to wonder whether this war was really worth the huge price they paid.

However, no matter how people questioned it, the war did not stop. The prime minister, Zhao Ji and Li Ling all understood that only victory could prove their worth. They decided to continue fighting until the moment of final victory.

In this war, these people no longer just fight for their own interests, they began to fight to protect the city and those innocent people. Their hearts began to become more resolute and noble, and their war became more meaningful.

"We must come up with a new tactic to break this deadlock." The Prime Minister said firmly, "We can't let this war continue. This will only bring greater suffering and losses to our army and people."

The Prime Minister carefully analyzed Zhao Ji's fighting style and spoke to his newly recruited subordinates.

This new subordinate is a wise military advisor invited by the Prime Minister from a deep mountain.

The military advisor learned the war situation in detail from the prime minister, and then the prime minister asked him for his opinion on the war.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I have carefully studied Zhao Ji's fighting style. He is a very cautious general. He will never rush into battle easily." The military advisor said, "So, we need to design a more cunning tactic to confuse him."

The prime minister frowned and said, "Zhao Ji, I know this man. He won't be fooled easily. Tell me your plan first..."

On the other hand, Zhao Ji was also very upset. He had thought that the war would end soon, but it ended up dragging on for so long.

"How is the emperor's health?"

Zhao Ji is now busy in three parts, he has to review memorials from the court, worry about the seriously injured emperor, and deal with the sinister and cunning prime minister. It's really his limit!

"Your Excellency, the Emperor's health has improved, but he still needs careful care. The court's memorials have been dealt with, but our army..."

Zhao Ji interrupted him: "I know all this. We can't just keep fighting passively. We must come up with a better strategy. Do you have any suggestions?"

Zhao Ji's subordinate thought for a moment, and then said: "Sir, I think we can start with the Prime Minister's weaknesses. He has always been very cautious, so we can't be careless."

Zhao Ji nodded: "I have thought about this, but how can we find his weakness?"

The subordinate continued, "Sir, we need to send out some soldiers who are good at reconnaissance to find out the situation of the Prime Minister's army. At the same time, we can also send out some special envoys to ask for help from the surrounding allies. We can also..."

Zhao Ji nodded: "Your idea is very good, let's do it! We can't let the Prime Minister take the initiative again!"

Although this was Zhao Ji's arrangement on the surface, as soon as the person left, Zhao Ji called the secret guards and asked them to investigate some things secretly.

Zhao Ji suspected that there was a spy for the Prime Minister in the army!

Zhao Ji had a serious expression on his face. He stared at the night scene in the distance through the moonlight coming through the window.

"Secret guard." Zhao Ji called in a low voice.

A figure quietly appeared in front of Zhao Ji. He was Zhao Ji's right-hand man, responsible for carrying out the secret mission assigned by Zhao Ji.

"Sir, what do you want?" the secret guard asked in a low voice.

Zhao Ji said in a deep voice: "I suspect there is a spy for the Prime Minister in the army. Take people to investigate. Be careful not to be discovered."

The secret guard nodded and disappeared into the night.

Zhao Ji returned to his desk again, reviewing the pile of memorials. He needed to arrange the operation of the army and keep an eye on the prime minister's movements.

The next morning, Zhao Ji called his subordinates together to listen to their plans and suggestions.

"I have sent secret guards to investigate the spies in the army. You must be prepared just in case." Zhao Ji said, "At the same time, you must hurry up and contact as many allies as possible."

The subordinates nodded one after another. They all understood the importance and urgency of this task.

On the other side, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Prime Minister and the military advisor were also discussing countermeasures.

"What do you think Zhao Ji will do?" asked the prime minister.

The military advisor thought for a moment and replied, "Prime Minister, I think Zhao Ji will try to expand the front and drag us into a long war."

"You mean, he will send envoys to find allies?" the prime minister asked again.

"Yes, sir. And he will also strengthen the army's vigilance to prevent our spies from infiltrating." The military advisor replied.

The Prime Minister nodded and said, "Then we have to take action as well. You arrange for people to continue investigating Zhao Ji's movements, and at the same time, you must strengthen our army's defenses."

At the two ends of the world, the war between the two major forces is escalating, and the battle of wits and courage between Zhao Ji and the prime minister has just begun.
