Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

"Yes, General, you have to think carefully about how to fight next. If it really doesn't work..." The man who spoke glanced at General Yang.

The others also understood what that person meant.

They were also very curious. The emperor had clearly sent a killer, so why did General Yang insist on sending his brothers to die?

Just a woman, is she more important than the lives of the soldiers?

It would be fine if they were just facing ordinary enemies, but those soldiers from the north were obviously not.

Even after only one fight, I was still shocked by their strength.

What's more, they saw today's battle situation very clearly. Compared with the casualties of their soldiers, the North was unscathed!

As soldiers, they all knew what it meant to remain unscathed on the battlefield.

It's not just because of the commander, but more importantly, the soldiers themselves are strong enough.

Just imagine, today is the first battle. If they continue to fight, their soldiers...

General Yang's eyes turned cold when he heard what everyone said. He looked up at the person who had spoken, "Humph, a group of men are so discouraged after just their first battle. Are we men worse than women?"

The others lowered their heads after hearing what he said.

His face looked uncomfortable, but his heart was filled with confusion:

Haha, you talk so grandly, but you are still bewitched by that woman.

As if they didn’t know!

Seeing that they were all silent, General Du thought for a moment and said, "General Yang, you have seen the soldiers from the north. It's not that I am no match for them, but that they are too fierce."

"The young general who came to fight me today is not the one who fought against me that day. If it were him, I think I would have died on the spot today." General Du did not say this to boost others' morale and diminish his own prestige, but he really believed it.

Seeing that General Yang remained unmoved, he continued, "Any general sent by them from the North is so powerful that our soldiers will be killed if they continue to fight them. If, if Your Majesty and the King's uncle really have a backup plan, you'd better not hide it. As long as we take over the North, we will have everything we want in the future..."

Last night he also heard some general information about the army.

It's nothing more than that the emperor sent a woman here this time, and that woman is said to have some relationship with the Lord of the Northland City.

I don't know why, but General Yang was more tolerant of that woman.

He is a man and he understands men. A man is nice to you for no reason. It's just that simple.

Either he fell in love with that woman, or that woman and he...

Thinking of this, he looked at General Yang who was sitting on the throne with a look of shock.

Could it be that he really had an affair with the emperor's woman?

His gaze was so intense that General Yang, who was sitting in the upper seat, also felt it and looked back at him.

General Du met his slightly interested eyes and understood instantly.

While I was surprised at his audacity, I also felt that he was too soft-hearted.

Just because of a woman, he sent his soldiers to their deaths?

It is really unworthy of being the commander of an army.

Thinking about General Yang calling him to go on stage today, and thinking about what happened just now, he felt contempt for him.

General Yang also saw what the people below were thinking. Seeing that his deputy generals were complaining about him because of a battle, he waved his hand helplessly.

"Okay, everyone, go out and let me think about it."

Deep down, he didn't want to send Ji Wanxing away right after the war started.

Putting aside his reluctance, even as a general, if he sent a woman to surrender at the beginning of the war, he would be criticized by the world if this matter were to be spread.

However, the words of those deputy generals today also made him think deeply.

If these words were to reach the soldiers' ears, they would surely be dissatisfied. If that were the case, his career as the commander-in-chief would be over.

On one side is his fame and fortune, on the other side is his woman.

It made him extremely anxious.

Only then did he realize that when things didn't happen to him, he could say any amount of big words.

When the time came where he couldn't have both, he couldn't give up everything for Ji Wanxing.

He was worried, but Leng Youran and Li Tianze were happy about it.

The two people who eavesdropped on their conversation hid not far from their army out of boredom, looking at the bustling scene in the military camp.

"You said that the real fighting hasn't even started yet, and these people have already started fighting among themselves. Do we still need to continue playing with them?" Leng Youran looked at the army outside through the barrier of space.

I feel like it's a waste of time to continue dealing with them.

To be honest, she wanted to just disappear and throw some medicine into their cauldron.

Li Tianze seemed to see through her thoughts. He rubbed her head and said with a smile, "Do you still remember what you were thinking before? If you really intend to do that, I suggest you don't get rid of these people so quickly."

Leng Youran took away his big hand that was rubbing her head and looked at him calmly, "You mean these people can be used by me?"

"Whether they can be used or not, we'll know after we receive them. Based on my understanding of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, these soldiers aren't mostly bad. There's nothing we can do about them choosing to go to the battlefield."

"So this is why you only kill the main commander every time you go to war with them?" She discovered a long time ago that whenever Li Tianze went to the battlefield, he would directly attack the main general.

Although she is also like that, when killing those main generals, some soldiers will be killed.

They do not chase deserters, nor do they kill them all, but they will not show mercy when facing those soldiers on the battlefield.

She didn't feel anything about killing people. She had experienced the end of the world. In her mind, as long as you were on the battlefield, you were an enemy, and with the enemy, it was a fight to the death.

She also never thought of bringing the rebels under her command.

"Well, I do mean that. Perhaps this is something ingrained in me as someone who has left my family. You know, my father is a general who has been on the battlefield for years. I remember he once told me that although the battlefield is ruthless, how many people know what they are carrying on the battlefield? Not only do they have to leave their loved ones, but they also have to be careful about their own lives at all times. Don't look at them playing around, but they are terrified inside. Eating, drinking, laughing and singing are just to relieve the panic in their hearts. Besides, it is never the soldiers who start the war, but the superiors who are high above."

Leng Youran listened to him steadily.

To be precise, it was listening to what General Li had said.

Yes!

If possible, who would want to hang their head on their belt every day!

After hearing Li Tianze's words, Leng Youran's eyes couldn't help but become a little more compassionate when he looked at the soldiers outside.

Compared to these people, the soldiers in the north were much luckier. Although there were occasional deaths, most of them were caused by uncontrollable diseases, and very few of them actually died on the battlefield.
