He turned and walked into the middle of the 20,000 Tiger Army. His heroic eyes swept across the young but battle-hardened faces, and his low, deep words filled with his inner strength were heard by everyone.

"One hundred thousand Tiger Power Army followed my sister and I to the East Territory. Half of them died in the battle. We gained the trust of the folks in the East Territory and recruited another half of the iron-blooded men. Only then were the one hundred thousand Tiger Power Army able to survive."

"It is my fault that I failed to bring all the brothers back alive."

He hunched his back for a long time.

There are nearly 50,000 Tiger Army soldiers, which means 50,000 or even hundreds of thousands of families will never be reunited again!

A general's success is built on the blood and bones of tens of thousands of brothers. Han Zhou's reputation today is built on the blood and bones of tens of thousands of brothers!

Someone in the queue took the lead and knelt on one knee, shouting: "We will die to protect the mountains and rivers, and we have no regrets."

If one person kneels, ten thousand people kneel.

If one person cheers, ten thousand people cheer.

The silver spear in Han Zhou's hand stabbed heavily into the mud. The Han family's mission of protecting the country for the king for hundreds of years was about to be rewritten from his point of view.

The king stood in opposition to the mountains and rivers and the people. Han Zhouning would rather betray the king than the people and the brothers who had sacrificed their lives with him.

"You all followed me, Han Zhou, to crawl out of the pile of dead bodies time and time again. Your ancestors were all heroes who followed my Han ancestors to fight in all directions."

"The treacherous ministers are in power, and the king is untrustworthy. As soldiers, we cannot betray the mountains and rivers under our feet and the people behind us, even if we die a thousand times. Is that right?"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

No one knows better than the people of the Eastern Border how much suffering they have endured and how many brothers have died during the days of fighting against the Eastern Japanese because of the incompetence of the court.

If they don't break the impasse and accumulate strength, their tragedy will spread from the Tiger Power Army to all the soldiers of Daxia.

When there are no more soldiers left to be used, they will become targets of slaughter by other races, and the powerless common people on this land will become the targets of slaughter by other races.

They cannot bear the crime of genocide.

"These twenty warships behind you were built for the people of Daxia. I don't know when you will be able to go to the battlefield again, but I promise you that in the future, you will only fight to bring peace and prosperity to the people."

"Can I, Han Zhou, trust you?"

He straightened his bent knees and raised his head: "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"Can the people of Daxia rely on you?"

"Can! Can! Can!"

One call and a hundred responses are the best reward for Han Zhou and his soldiers winning more than 30 battles, big and small, and saving the lives of these Tiger Power Army soldiers.

"Warriors of my Tiger Army, get on board. There are people on board who can lead you to a peaceful and prosperous world."

"You will all be heroes in your future. Live and be heroes."

Instead, after death, a tablet with the name of a hero on it is placed in the mourning hall.

The 20,000 Tiger Power Army quickly reorganized their battle teams, and in just half a cup of tea, they all stood in their respective fighting positions.

Don’t ask where you are going or when you will have a future.

They believe in Han Zhou.

Just as Han Zhou chose to believe in Xia Che, who had been through the ups and downs together with him and was completely different from the past.

And Han Zhou now has no choice but to trust Xia Che.

For Hu Weijun, there has never been a more unbearable oppression than the one they are facing now.

He held up a silver spear in one hand and drank from a pot of wine in the other: "We will part today, but when we meet again in the future, the sea will be peaceful, the mountains and rivers will be safe, and the people will be healthy."

Tian Ding seemed to be in a hurry but actually walked slowly all the way, and finally returned to the capital city on a sunny day in July.

The carriage stopped outside the palace wall, and Tian Ding was carried into the Golden Palace by two imperial guards.

Since his broken leg had not yet healed, Tian Ding naturally could not kneel down. He could only lie prone on the ground, propping up his head with the strength of his hands, and kowtowed to Xia Hong.

He looked embarrassed and funny, which made the Golden Palace, which was becoming more and more solemn day by day, smile a little.

"I am incompetent and failed to summon Han Shu and his brother back to the court. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of War looked Tian Ding up and down and asked: "Master Tian, ​​were these two legs broken by the two Han generals?"

He raised his head and waved his hands repeatedly: "It was raining heavily, and the horse was startled by lightning. The general was thrown off the horse's back, and unfortunately, he was crushed by the carriage full of luggage."

"It's my bad luck, don't blame others."

If you want to blame someone, blame Yang Huai.

Shen Jinmo, who was sitting in the hall, was quite satisfied with Tian Ding's miserable appearance: "Why don't you come back?"

After Shen Jinmo asked this, the hall became quiet again.

Tian Ding glanced at Shen Jinmo, then looked up and stole a glance at Eunuch Lin, and finally his eyes met Xia Hong's.

Tian Ding suppressed his reluctance and said, "Your Majesty, although the main force of the Japanese in the East has been eliminated, there are still bandits in the East Territory doing evil. When I arrived in the East Territory, those bastards actually set fire to the warships, and the fire burned intermittently for three days."

"General Han is arresting bandits every day to prevent them from attacking the people. General Han is trying his best to repair the warships while also building warships for the expedition."

As for when to return, anyone with a discerning eye knows that one has to finish the work at hand before returning.

Xia Hong frowned slightly. If these warships were destroyed, wouldn't he have to pay more money?

Minister Xu had dealt with Xia Hong a lot recently, so he could naturally understand what Xia Hong was thinking: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of War has not received any memorials from the Eastern Territory demanding military pay, so we estimate that the damage to these warships is not serious."

Shen Jinmo asked again: "Did you see with your own eyes that the ship that was burned was a warship?"

Tian Ding lowered his head and muttered in a neither-too-loud voice: "Warships are military secrets, how can I just see them whenever I want?"

Shen Jinmo raised his head and nodded slightly to Xia Hong. Xia Hong glanced at Eunuch Lin and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tian. I will send you to the Imperial Hospital first. You can attend the morning court after you recover."

He leaned forward and kowtowed to Xia Hong several times. Tian Ding smiled particularly attentively. Xia Hong was so disgusted that he waved his hands again and again and asked the imperial guards to carry Tian Ding out quickly.

If he had had more choice, Xia Hong really didn't want to use someone like Tian Ding to fulfill the role of Wu Cixiu.

"What does Wang Heng think?"

Shen Jinmo stood up from the armchair and said, "I think the Ministry of War should immediately summon Han Shu and his brother back to the court with the imperial gold medal."

Xia Hong nodded slightly, and Minister Xu knelt down to accept the order: "I will immediately arrange for someone to go to the eastern border."

"Lord Xu, what I'm talking about is sending one person to the East every two days for the next month. The time for the war against Japan is urgent. The emperor needs the two Korean generals to return to the court immediately to discuss the war."

Shen Jinmo and Xia Hong didn't believe the reason for deceiving Tian Ding.

Minister Xu looked up at Shen Jinmo, then kowtowed to Xia Hong: "Your Majesty, the two Generals Han are meritorious officials. Is it too much to summon them back to the court and issue ten golden orders in a row?"

Without allowing any further discussion, Xia Hong said, "Go ahead and do it."
