The Domineering General and His Post-it Lady

After Fan Ziren came out of Lou Yunsi's villa, he went to the palace to see the emperor and told him his opinion: "Your Majesty, I led the army to the battle this time, hoping to find an opportunity to negotiate peace. I don't want the people to experience war again and be in dire straits. If the people of the Gem Kingdom refuse to make concessions, we will meet on the battlefield again. This is my humble opinion. I hope the emperor can think twice!"

When the ministers were discussing with the emperor in the morning, Fan Ziren's ideas were still ambiguous. How could he turn around and express his thoughts so quickly? What had happened to him?

The emperor asked curiously, "General Fan, when I discussed this with the ministers this morning, you still didn't express your thoughts so firmly. Why do you have an idea now?"

Fan Ziren said smugly, "My wife said that if an enemy comes, we will fight him with our troops, and if a flood comes, we will block it with earth!"

When Li Shenning and Xiao Shenke heard Fan Ziren's words, they both thought: Isn't this what the Sixth Madam said? The general actually remembered it in his heart.

The emperor thought: This is amazing! Since Fan Ziren, I have never mentioned the word "Madam" in his mouth, let alone hearing him talk about women. I thought it would never happen in this life. I didn't expect to have the honor of hearing him mention Madam. This Madam must have a special status in his heart!

The emperor wanted to ask which lady made him keep talking about her like that, but before he could ask, Fan Ziren spoke first: "Your Majesty, what do you think of my idea? If it's feasible, I'll go back and pack my bags and set off!"

The emperor said: "You are right. We should not only think about the war, but also consider the safety of the people. I will report it according to your wishes!"

Before the emperor could ask what was going on, Fan Ziren took Li Shenning and Xiao Shenkke and left.

The emperor thought: This Fan Ziren left so quickly. Well, I will ask you again when you return triumphantly!

Thinking of Fan Ziren's wife, and Miss Lou who had saved him, he couldn't help missing Miss Lou: Miss Lou, are you okay? I miss you so much! Now that the war is about to break out, I can't go and talk to you about my love for the time being. I have to wait for Fan Ziren to return triumphantly, and then I will find a chance to talk to you about it. You have to wait for me!

The next day, Fan Ziren got up, prepared to pack his luggage, set off for the military camp, and organized the troops ready to set off.

When Fan Ziren, Li Shenning and Xiao Shenke passed by Lou Yunsi's villa, Fan Ziren stopped, looked outside the gate and thought: Lou Yunsi, you will definitely come here again after I return triumphantly!

Fan Ziren took Li Shenning and Xiao Shenke away from the Fan Mansion, rushed to the military camp, packed their equipment and set off!

According to reports from Xiao Shenke's intelligence personnel, General Cao, who led the troops of the Gem Kingdom this time, had stayed in the Northern Territory for a period of time, where he learned many strange magic techniques and was good at using poison. Some small countries around the Gem Kingdom all suffered from his poisonous hands.

The Northern Territory has always been a very mysterious place, with all kinds of people, but the monarch there advocates peace, so he has never launched a war against other countries, and has recruited talents and welcomed people from all corners of the world to settle in. There are no rules or systems. The only rule is that no casualties are allowed. This attracts many people, and General Cao of the Gem Kingdom is one of them.

The Gem Kingdom is famous for producing diamonds and gems. Although diamonds and gems are rare, the resources in the Gem Kingdom are relatively scarce. The monarchs of all dynasties have relied on invading neighboring countries and plundering food supplies to fill the national treasury.

Many years ago, the general of the Gem Kingdom once fought against Fan Ziren's father, General Fan, but was defeated, thus giving up the idea of ​​invasion. In the past year, the Gem Kingdom got a new monarch, who wanted to start the plundering blueprint again, so he sent General Cao to fight, and used his strange magic to capture several small neighboring countries.

After Fan Ziren learned about General Cao's background, he asked Li Shenning to find a way to make some sachets and general detoxification pills or medicines that can relieve toxicity, and distribute them to the soldiers so that they can save themselves quickly in case of poisoning.

Then he called Xiao Shenke, discussed with him how to deal with the situation, and asked him to step back and make preparations.

At night, a soldier suddenly shouted: "The weapons tent is on fire, come and put out the fire!"

When Fan Ziren heard the shouting of fire, he immediately ran to the weapons tent. Others followed and quickly put out the fire. Fortunately, the rescue was timely and no weapons were burned.

The next day, Fan Ziren brought Xiao Shenke to the granary and asked the guards to count the food. They found that 100 bags of food were missing. They didn't even notice that so much food was missing. The soldiers guarding the granary immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "General, we were all watching at the door last night. Someone shouted "fire" last night, but we didn't go to check. We were standing at the door the whole time. We don't know why the food is missing. Please spare us!"

Fan Ziren and Xiao Shenkeh looked at the corner of the granary and saw some traces. Fan Ziren did not blame the people guarding the granary. He walked out calmly and said a few words to Xiao Shenkeh quietly.

Two days later, another soldier suddenly shouted "fire" at night. There was movement in the corner of the granary. When someone climbed out of the hole in the corner, Xiao Shenke and several soldiers were already waiting there. They captured them. Several of them bit the poison that had been put in their mouths in advance and died immediately.

It turned out that Fan Ziren had already anticipated what tricks General Cao of the Baoshi Kingdom would come up with. He would definitely attack the granary first because they were short of food. However, they would not attack the granary directly. Instead, they would try to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but Fan Ziren had already seen through it.

The soldier guarding the granary asked in confusion: "General, why can't we detect any movement inside even when we are at the door?"

Li Shenning stepped forward to explain: "Because you were all drugged. It's not really drugged, it's just a mild drug that can make people feel dazed but not faint. After an hour, they will be completely awake. So you didn't realize you were drugged."

Xiao Shenke continued, "That day, the general and I came to the granary and found traces of earthwork in the corner. We suspected that the general of the Gem Kingdom had someone dig a small tunnel and had people transport the grain away through this small tunnel. So the general asked me to send people to be on guard. When we heard someone shouting "fire", we immediately rushed into the granary and found the enemy who stole the grain!"

Li Shenning said: "It's a pity that the people who found it are dead, otherwise we could have asked about the situation."

Fan Ziren said: "These are all death warriors, ready to sacrifice at any time."

The soldier guarding the granary suddenly rushed up, patted Fan Ziren on the shoulder and said, "General Fan, you are really as smart as a god! You are really smart and have planned everything out. Oh, no, it's a brilliant plan, it's simply..."

Xiao Shenke interrupted him: "Okay, okay, let's talk nonsense when we get home! The general doesn't have time to listen to your nonsense here!"

The soldier guarding the granary said aggrievedly: "I didn't say anything nonsense, I was speaking the dialect of my hometown, which is not nonsense!"

Li Shen Ning thought to himself: Who recruited these soldiers? Why are they so stupid?

Xiao Shenke said speechlessly: "I asked you to talk less!"

The soldier guarding the granary said, "I have said less, I just drool more!"

Fan Ziren couldn't help but say, "Alright, everyone, leave!"

So everyone withdrew.

Before dawn, Fan Ziren led his soldiers to launch a surprise attack on the Baoshi Kingdom military camp, catching the enemy off guard and forcing General Cao to flee in panic.

What happened?
