There was a heavy atmosphere in the military camp, and no one cared about the whereabouts of the Third Prince and his wife.

So the two of them watched the three generals' actions quietly.

Now that the enemy was setting up camp, General Lu, General Qi and General Xu began to have a disagreement.

"It would be best to attack now and hurt their vitality when they are not prepared!" General Lu said aggressively.

Xu Guangzhu had too little experience and no say, so he looked to General Qi.

General Qi still insisted on being conservative. "No! What if they have already set up a trap and are waiting for us to attack?!"

"We haven't figured out the enemy's numbers and formations yet, so we can't launch an attack easily."

"Besides, His Majesty has not yet sent you an order to raise your army first!"

General Qi said with a helpless look, "If we attack first, the enemy will have a legitimate reason to start a war."

General Lu sighed, but what General Qi said made sense, and he also mentioned the emperor's name, which made it even more impossible for General Lu to refuse.

"Then send the vanguard soldiers to negotiate and see what the enemy country means!"

No one objected to General Lu's proposal. They really needed to think carefully about why the enemy country suddenly wanted to go to war.

There has to be a reason.

Moreover, they also need the soldiers to find out which general is leading the enemy troops to fight!

The three reached a consensus.

General Lu suddenly looked at the Third Prince and asked, "Third Prince, do you think it is necessary to go to war?"

Ji Qichen paused, and the others looked over.

"If the enemy attacks, we will definitely need to send troops to fight back."

"But I don't have enough experience, so let the experienced General Lu decide."

Ji Qichen is not a fool. General Lu is using him as a target!

A smug look flashed across General Lu's eyes. The Third Prince had a keen eye and knew who was the most powerful here.

But General Lu also felt it was a pity. If the Third Prince had just said that he wanted to go to war or not, he could have complained to His Majesty later!

This not only fits with the Crown Prince's suggestion to deal with the Third Prince, but also fits with the Prime Minister's suggestion to ensure the Third Prince's life is safe.

Isn’t this killing two birds with one stone!

It’s a pity that the third prince just doesn’t understand!

But no one expected that the enemy would be so disrespectful. All the vanguard soldiers were wiped out and no one came back alive.

Inside the main tent, the atmosphere around the three people was heavy.

Everyone is busy with their own things.

General Lu was looking at the terrain map, wondering where he could deal a heavy blow to the enemy.

General Qi simulated the formation of soldiers on the sand table.

General Xu was maintaining his weapon, trying to make it sharper so that he could kill several enemies with one blow.

Ji Qichen was paying attention to the actions of the three generals while... reading a book.

Who knows why Tangxi even brought books with him when he came to the military camp!

Well, at least Tangxi didn’t bring all the books for them, only two, so he and Tangxi had to exchange them.

During this time, General Lu and Xu Guangzhu looked at Ji Qichen and Mu Tangxi with indescribable eyes.

This was the first time they saw someone other than the three of them reading a book so calmly in the tent!

Aren't they a bit nervous?!

It's simply unbelievable.

Soon after Xu Guangzhu maintained his weapons, he came out of the tent and directed the soldiers to assemble.

General Lu also went out after a while.

Of course, he took General Qi, Ji Qichen and Mu Tangxi with him.

This is his camp. What if other people find out some secrets that shouldn't be found?!

The soldiers quickly gathered, put on their armor, were assigned weapons, and set off in formation.

Since the enemy is not polite, there is no need for them to wait for His Majesty's order.

and……

General Lu glanced at the third prince. Didn’t he have a tiger talisman in his hand?

When the time comes, he can just say that it was the Third Prince who ordered him to fight with the tiger talisman.

Because only General Lu was given the order, it would be useless even if General Qi and General Xu denied it.

Bad news kept coming. After setting up camp, the enemy soldiers did not stop but attacked Ji State directly.

At this time, General Lu no longer had time to pay attention to the Third Prince. The previous failures were at least a draw. If he was completely defeated this time, where would he put his face?

It was only a day's time, and the emperor's order had no time to be delivered.

The sky gradually darkened, dark clouds gathered, and a storm was about to come, which seemed particularly depressing.

Mu Tangxi looked up at the sky, hoping that General Lu could be more normal.

She had heard about the little problems that General Lu had encountered before. They were all small things, but they all happened at the same time.

This was very unusual, and no one knew how General Lu covered it up. People in the capital had no idea about it and just thought it was a secret frame-up by the enemy.

Mu Tangxi, however, felt that it was General Lu who did it himself.

After all, if they were really sent by the enemy to frame General Lu, then why did it last for several years?

It's impossible that everyone in the military camp can't tell who the spy is?

It shouldn't be that outrageous.

In the past, I didn’t have much feeling when I saw soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons.

But at this moment, the soldiers' will to fight and murderous intent were entangled together, spreading out in a majestic manner.

The determination in their eyes rose to an unprecedented level, in a quiet and threatening uniformity.

Mu Tangxi was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and stroked the cold back of his neck. His amber pupils shrank quickly and his eyes were instantly filled with excitement.

This is the momentum and discipline that elite soldiers should have.

Ji Qichen was also shocked by this scene. He breathed, felt, and stood on the city wall watching.

General Lu led his soldiers in a mighty march, and General Qi also led a team of soldiers on horseback to take a detour, intending to attack the enemy's camp.

It’s best to burn the enemy’s food supplies in one fell swoop!

General Xu stayed in the tent with his soldiers to protect the safety of our rear.

Trumpets were also blown in the border town to indicate that the war had begun.

Of course Song Shitou would not follow General Lu. He was quietly waiting for the opportunity.

Waiting for the chaos to begin, waiting for the opportunity to get rid of the third prince in one fell swoop.

In the capital, the emperor urgently summoned all his ministers to discuss the war.

Mu Wenyu was also among them. His previously thin and pale face had now regained its original shape.

As expected, the civil and military officials started arguing again.

Civil official: "There have been many natural and man-made disasters in the country. The treasury is now empty. I am afraid that we can no longer support the soldiers to continue fighting. Seeking peace is the best way."

Wu Chen: "Bullshit! Begging for peace, who knows how much silver the enemy wants, or how much land they want to cede! They started this war first. If we don't fight back and let them know how powerful we are, they will greedily want more!"
