Female special forces soldiers in ancient times

The emperor waved his hand, suddenly feeling somewhat tired.

"This was caused by the Western Regions Poison Heart Powder I was given before, although the poison has been neutralized."

But there is still quite a bit left in my body. Alright, you may leave now!

"I'm feeling a bit tired. Someone, help me back to rest."

After the emperor finished speaking, the eunuch came in from outside and helped him leave.

Only the Fifth Prince remained, silently watching his frail figure recede into the distance.

......

In the land of the East, cherry blossoms are in full bloom.

The ubiquitous white cherry blossoms seem to transform Dongjingcheng into a fragrant white city.

On this day, during the morning court session at the imperial palace, the Emperor of Gou Kingdom sat in a precarious position.

A group of courtiers dressed in neat black robes bowed respectfully.

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

"All of you, rise. Is there anything important to discuss at this morning's court?"

He nodded slightly, his expression completely calm.

The leader, the Left Prime Minister, was a short, slightly overweight middle-aged man.

His eyes were sharp, and as he spoke, the mustache on his lips kept moving back and forth on both sides of his face.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, our Great Eastern Kingdom has, through years of arduous struggle..."

Currently, the country is prosperous, with unparalleled military strength, and abundant manpower, financial resources, and food supplies.

"It is entirely possible to launch a military war against the Great Xia Kingdom."

"Your Majesty, I second that opinion! Last year, when my Eastern Kingdom sent an envoy to attend the wedding of the prince of the Great Xia Kingdom..."

General Li Tingting of the Great Xia Kingdom actually dared to speak disrespectfully to my Eastern Kingdom!

This is absolutely outrageous! If it were the common people of Japan or the imperial court, that would be one thing.

But she had the audacity to say that she wanted His Majesty and me to go to Siberian Cliff in the Kingdom of Sand Goose to plant potatoes.

Hmph! They are far too arrogant and conceited; they must be taught a lesson.

What face does our Japanese nation have? How can we stand in the world?

After the Left Prime Minister of Gou Kingdom finished speaking, the Right Prime Minister also indignantly echoed his opinion from the side.

The officials standing behind them were even more indignant and shouted loudly in response.

The atmosphere in the imperial court grew increasingly fervent.

An elderly official, dressed in elaborate court attire, stepped forward, trembling yet filled with fervent passion:

"Your Majesty, the Great Xia Kingdom has always been arrogant. Last year, they humiliated our envoy in such a way."

This is a blatant trampling on the dignity of our great Eastern nation.

If we do not rise up and fight back, we will surely be looked down upon by the barbarians from all sides!

Immediately afterwards, a young military officer clenched his fists and spoke in a booming voice:

"My soldiers are all eager and ready to fight."

They all wish to expand the territory for Your Majesty and crush the Great Xia.

Let them know the formidable military might of my Eastern Kingdom!

Among the civil servants, some also loudly echoed:

"Your Majesty, our nation is now at its peak, with abundant food supplies. This is a golden opportunity."

If we can defeat the Great Xia in one fell swoop, the name of our dynasty will surely resound throughout the world.

"The day when all sides pay tribute is just around the corner!"

In an instant, the imperial court was filled with resounding cries, all demanding a war against the Great Xia Kingdom.

Emperor Goku frowned, waved his left hand, and made a gesture for silence.

"My lords, I am very pleased with your concern for the honor of my Eastern Kingdom."

However, the distance between my Gou Kingdom and that Great Xia Kingdom is far, and the army is advancing...

"Since they had to rely on ships to operate at sea, the supply of provisions for the army became a major problem."

The Emperor's words were like a bucket of ice-cold water, instantly extinguishing the flames.

The thoughts of all the warmongering courtiers.

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances and began to murmur amongst themselves, feeling that the Emperor's words...

That seems to make sense.

After bowing his head and remaining silent for a while, the Left Prime Minister of Gou Kingdom revealed a disdainful smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, although my Gou Kingdom is far from the Great Xia Kingdom..."

However, it is very close to Korea. Once our army takes over South Korea,

This would eliminate the need to rely on sea travel, as supplies could be replenished to our forces through South Korea.

On the other hand, they could launch an attack on the Great Xia Kingdom from the north of Goryeo.

Upon hearing what the Left Prime Minister said, the crowd immediately began whispering among themselves again.

Some ministers looked thoughtful and thought the plan was brilliant.

Some officials also expressed concern.

An old minister stepped forward and said with deep concern, "Your Majesty,"

Although Goryeo was small, it was not without defenses.

If our army launches an attack rashly, it will inevitably be drawn into a bitter battle.

Furthermore, if the siege drags on without success, the rear will be vulnerable, and unforeseen events may occur.

At this moment, the young general stepped forward again, brimming with heroic spirit.

"My lord, you are overthinking it. Our army is brave and skilled in battle."

With high morale, Goryeo, a tiny country, was nothing to worry about.

I am willing to lead the vanguard to conquer Goryeo in one fell swoop, paving the way for the subsequent attack on Great Xia!

The Right Chancellor nodded slightly. "Your Majesty, in my opinion..."

We could first send envoys to South Korea under the guise of discussing an alliance.

To investigate the strength and weaknesses of their homeland, while secretly deploying troops.

Make thorough preparations. Once the time is right, launch a surprise attack.

The Emperor sat regally on the dragon throne, his gaze sweeping over his assembled ministers.

He secretly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke: "This matter is of great importance."

Allow me to consider this further.

"All of you may leave now. We will discuss this further at the morning court tomorrow."

After speaking, the Emperor rose and left amidst the kowtows of the crowd.

Inside the palace, the lights flickered.

The Emperor sat alone in his study, his brow furrowed, his eyes revealing a hint of confusion and unease.

He recalled his youth, when the country had just emerged from poverty.

It was not easy for the people to achieve peace and prosperity.

Now, however, he is about to push the country into the abyss of war, which he naturally strongly resists.

The Left Prime Minister celebrated with his confidants in his own residence.

A greedy glint flashed in his sharp eyes.

He secretly calculated in his heart: "Once the war is won,

My power will be unmatched, and all voices opposing me will vanish in the smoke of battle.

Meanwhile, many worried old ministers were sighing and lamenting at home.

Their eyes were full of worry:

"What exactly do those warmongers want to do?"

Instead of enjoying a perfectly good life, they are eager to wage war against other countries.

But those warmongers, seeing that the Emperor was hesitant to make a decision,

How could they possibly let this go?

So, he would spend all his free time seeking advice from the Emperor of Goku.

Under the constant advice of warmongers, the Emperor's resolve became increasingly wavering.

The Left Prime Minister, with his silver tongue, painted a vivid picture of the victory over Goryeo.

The enormous benefits and glory that the Eastern Kingdom will gain.

The Right Chancellor listed various so-called favorable conditions, emphasizing that sending troops at this time was a godsend.

The young military officer even patted his chest and guaranteed that as long as he was given the opportunity,

Then he could lead his elite troops and conquer Goryeo in one fell swoop.

And those officials who supported the war,

They all presented meticulously prepared battle plans and resource allocation schemes.

The voices of the opposition were gradually drowned out, and the Emperor's concerns were dispelled through repeated persuasion.

Finally, in a tense courtroom,

The Emperor gritted his teeth, slammed his hand on the table, and agreed, loudly announcing:

"Very well! I have decided to send 150,000 troops to attack Goryeo at a chosen date!"

In an instant, cheers resounded throughout the imperial court.

The warmongers' faces were full of smugness and anticipation.
