Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Wu Qingye was the first to realize that something was wrong. He quickly notified everyone and ran out carrying Qin Ming.

Before Qin Ming fell into a coma, he took the detoxification pill on his own initiative.

The endless internal energy that Huang Qi had left in his body was also quietly circulating at this moment.

Soon, when he reached the outskirts of the mountains, Qin Ming opened his eyes.

"Your Majesty, how is it?!"

Wu Qingye poured out three antidotes in succession and stuffed them into Qin Ming's mouth.

Qin Ming sat up weakly and said:

"We've been deceived. There's no way Yan Guangshou could have crossed this mountain range."

"What!?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Qingye's eyes widened.

A few days ago, they fought Yan Guangshou with great fanfare, and saw with their own eyes that the enemy's troops were gathering here and entering the mountains one after another.

Qin Ming waved his hands slowly and explained to him seriously:

"The miasma in this mountain range is simply impossible to dispel."

"Ancient texts record methods of burning things like realgar and atractylodes to dispel miasma. But is it possible for them to cross the entire mountain range from the north and reach our hinterland with their conditions?"

"Even if they could make it, they would only be remnants of a defeated army. It's not worth mentioning at all. You've all been deceived."

Yan Guangshou's way of leading troops was extremely bizarre.

It's impossible to guess his true intentions.

If Qin Ming had not come in person to explore the way this time and confirmed that this place was impassable, I am afraid that all the generals' strategic deployment would still revolve around the Taiping Mountains.

"Your Majesty, if this is indeed what you say, what should we do? Bring the troops back to the front lines and defend the border between the front lines and Dongshan?"

"wait."

Qin Ming pinched his fingers and sat on the ground to count carefully.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned.

Your Majesty, are you telling fortunes or calculating the almanac?

When the two armies were fighting and the tussle had already begun, he actually began to rely on fortune-telling to decide the arrangements on the battlefield?

While they were whispering, only Wu Qingye frowned and carefully thought about Qin Ming's actions.

"Have it!"

Finally, Qin Ming's frown relaxed and he stood up from the ground.

"Leave three thousand men and cross the mountain!"

"what?!"

When these words were spoken, even Wu Qingye's mouth twitched.

Qin Ming, who possesses extraordinary internal strength, finds it difficult to climb any mountain without medicine.

Now he has to lead people across the entire Taiping Mountains.

This is a joke!

"Your Majesty, you just said it was impossible."

Wu Qingye asked immediately.

"Yes, Yan Guangshou must think so too, but what if we can turn over and surround Yan Guangshou's troops?"

Qin Ming said with a smile.

"We can't get over it!"

"Remember when we invented the compressed biscuits at the Nanman border? We asked you to send them to Jiangnan, but everyone said they tasted terrible."

A look of nostalgia appeared on Qin Ming's face.

Wu Qingye immediately thought of what happened before and spat:

"I remember it so well. That bastard Cao Chuan made so much food that no one ate it. In the end, it was all sent to my troops stationed in Nanman. During those months, he quickly... eh?"

As he spoke, Wu Qingye suddenly understood what Qin Ming meant.

"You mean, take some compressed biscuits, enough medicine, a compass, travel light, and cross the mountains?"

"Yes."

"What about weapons and equipment?"

"Let the hot air balloon drop directly from the sky when it is halfway along its journey."

Qin Ming's deployment made everyone's eyes widen.

But they were all veterans with rich combat experience, and soon one of the soldiers retorted:

"Your Majesty, you are too optimistic. The environment within the Taiping Mountains is complex. If the weather changes, they will most likely all be forced to stay here."

After these soldiers asked questions, Qin Ming showed a mysterious smile on his face.

"What do you think?"

He looked at Wu Qingye.

Wu Qingye spread his hands and said:

"Your Majesty has the final say. We will go, but I want to go with you. I have experience in mountain warfare and marching."

"General, you agreed anyway. If the weather is bad, it's useless for us to go!"

The few soldiers who followed were still confused.

Wu Qingye glared at them and said:

"Don't you understand yet?"

"What do you think His Majesty was calculating just now? He was calculating the weather!"

"What!?"

Now everyone was silent.

Qin Ming explained to everyone:

"I've calculated that it's not the rainy season yet, so the weather conditions are good enough to cross the mountains. It just requires everyone to walk more."

After today's contact, many soldiers have been convinced of Qin Ming, the famous Southern Emperor.

Originally, many people said that Qin Mingde was not worthy of the position and lacked the ability.

Now it seems that this is not the case at all.

"Your Majesty, our Fengzi Camp will go into the mountains with you at any time!"

Everyone who was in awe of Qin Ming immediately patted their chests and made promises to him.

Among the four camps of Feng, Lin, Huo and Shan, the soldiers of Feng Camp are the most suitable to go into the mountains with Qin Ming.

They were also the troops that had fought with Wu Qingye the most times in the Nanman Mountains.

"Well, thank you all for your help."

Back in the tent, Qin Ming and Wu Qingye told everyone their speculation.

Liu Chuang and Chen Pi both suddenly understood.

Chenpi said:

"I wonder why that old fellow Yan Guangshou has mobilized his troops into the mountains and has been keeping a wait-and-see attitude on our northern border."

"Let's go, let's go, I'll go inform my men and ask them to move tomorrow."

After Liu Chuang and Chen Pi understood the situation, they left immediately and prepared to go to the main battlefield tomorrow.

Chang Baishan didn't move, with a slight hesitation on his face, as if he had something important to say.

Seeing this, Wu Qingye stood up and clasped his fists and said:

"Your Majesty, I will be busy now."

"Ah."

Qin Ming nodded slowly, and only turned his gaze to Chang Baishan after everyone left.

"What's wrong, Lao Chang? Is it because there are too many soldiers and you can't lead them?"

Now, the generals under his command, except for some brought by Ye Shoujiang, can command thousands of people in battle.

The only ones who can lead tens of thousands of soldiers and still make Qin Ming feel at ease are these few.

Chang Baishan immediately waved his hand and said:

"No, Your Majesty, I just think you shouldn't go. If anyone has to go, I'll be the one."

"If you open up the Taiping Mountains, it will be difficult for me to build momentum."

Qin Ming shook his head. He had another consideration.

The morale of the army is very important.

Especially when seeing Qin Ming, the Southern Emperor, opening up the Taiping Mountains.

Their momentum will be unstoppable.

"It's not like we can't win on the front line. Maybe there are some other ways?"

Seeing Qin Ming taking risks, Chang Baishan was still a little hesitant.

"No, I want to retain more power."

Qin Ming's target is not only Daqian, but also the Yan Dynasty behind them.

Hearing this, Chang Baishan had no choice but to stand up and say:

"If you insist on going, take this with you."

As he spoke, he took out a small square box from his arms with a painful look on his face.
