Liu Tong nodded emphatically, "My husband is not one to look down on women. Although my swordsmanship is not as good as that of the female generals, I am still capable of simple self-defense!"
Zhao Hao smiled slightly, "In that case, you will be the commander of the Three Thousand Women's Army! But since you have no experience on the battlefield, you cannot make decisions on your own regarding important military matters. Li Xiuning, Mu Guiying, and Meng Yan are all capable commanders. With Third Sister, a female warrior, protecting you, there shouldn't be any problems."
"You will come with me to the military camp first thing tomorrow morning!"
"Thank you, my husband!"
The Three Thousand Women's Army was formed by Li Xiuning at Zhao Hao's behest during this period.
Although women can also fight on the battlefield, very few are truly suitable to be soldiers.
Three thousand people is the maximum we can recruit right now.
Taking advantage of this northern expedition to the desert, Zhao Hao could test whether this women's army was worth continuing to invest in. In addition, with Liu Tong, the eternal princess of the Han Dynasty, as the nominal commander-in-chief, he could also better reassure the people.
If this army were to grow truly powerful in the future, it would belong to his wife. The only difficulty Zhao Hao would face was bringing both Li Xiuning and Mu Guiying into his harem...
On the other hand, does that mean Zhao Hao will take all the generals in the Women's Army into his harem in the future?
This is a good question; even Zhao Hao himself hasn't figured out the answer yet...
Another day passed, and by early morning, an army of nearly 300,000 had gathered outside Jinyang City.
The remaining soldiers were stationed in the local area to guard against any unforeseen events.
Looking at his soldiers, all of whom belonged to him, Zhao Hao felt a surge of fighting spirit.
Zhao Hao raised his dragon spear high and roared angrily.
"Gentlemen, to the north there are barbarians who destroy the peace and prosperity of our land, and for years they have slaughtered our people and plundered our prefectures and counties without cause. To the east, west and south, there are also countless disloyal people who attempt to bring disaster to our peaceful land of Bingzhou and disrupt the world."
"Are you willing to follow me, Zhao Hao, to annihilate these disloyal traitors!"
"I am willing to fight to the death for the general! I am willing to fight to the death for the general!"
Zhao Hao smiled slightly and immediately gave the order.
"They are all good sons of Bingzhou, and the three armies shall heed my orders."
"Today we send out our troops to punish the disloyal, and we will not rest until death!"
"We will punish the disloyal until death!"
"We will punish the traitors to the bitter end, until death do us part!!!"
"Wind, wind! Strong wind!!"
