Female special forces soldiers in ancient times

In early winter, a light, chilly wind blew by.

The military flags of the Great Zhou army camp and the governor's office were being blown around loudly.

Suddenly, a roar came from the command post.

"Commander Zhong! I regret that I cannot obey this order!"

A middle-aged general of the cavalry was seen.

He glared angrily at Zhong Wencai, then slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly.

"Hmph! Our army has always been based on offensive formations."

This was a strategy personally decided by Marshal Su before his death.

How can you change it just like that? Without His Majesty's explicit decree, I will absolutely not obey!"

What the hell? I'm a dignified General of the Cavalry!

Do you expect me to take orders from someone who served as an infantry captain and clerk for a few years?

Zhong Wencai's rise through the ranks can be described as a miracle in the military.

This concept is similar to a company commander in the military today.

Because of his good performance, he was assigned to work as a clerk in the office of the military region commander-in-chief.

After Commander-in-Chief Su Zheng died in battle,

Zhong Wencai was then promoted to acting commander-in-chief, and then you can imagine...

Those big shots below, the military region commanders, army commanders, and division commanders...

Who would respect him? Who would be willing to follow his orders?

"General Zhou Youwei, our army has been doing this for so many years..."

The main forces are all distributed in the northern part of our Great Zhou.

The imperial palace and the surrounding counties were largely devoid of military strength.

Who will be responsible for the safety of the capital should foreign troops land along the eastern coast?

Faced with Zhou Youcai's roar, Zhong Wencai simply smiled slightly.

He then pointed to the military defense map in front of him and asked a question.

As soon as he finished speaking, those generals who had originally wanted to support Zhou Youwei...

He froze on the spot, not daring to make a move.

Although none of these military bigwigs were convinced of Zhong Wencai's abilities,

The problem now is that what they said makes sense.

We can't just argue that the safety of the capital isn't important, can we?

That's a heinous crime that wouldn't be enough to warrant the beheading of ten people.

For a moment, the generals looked at each other in bewilderment.

They desperately wanted someone to come out and refute Zhong Wencai.

To embarrass this clerk.

Zhou Youwei was also rendered speechless by Zhong Wencai's question.

He could only lower his head and ponder how to refute her.

Just as everyone was at a loss, a lieutenant general suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter.

My Great Zhou Dynasty has stood for hundreds of years, its imperial might is boundless.

Which of the barbarian tribes around us doesn't submit to us and fear us like a tiger?

General Manager Zhong, your commanding presence is truly impressive.

It's as if they're afraid someone will have the guts to mess with our Great Zhou!

This kind of defensive maneuvering today is like a quack doctor—treating patients who aren't sick and then claiming credit!

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately burst into laughter.

Well done! What a clever way to claim credit for treating someone who isn't sick!

Hehe, I've won another game!

Let's see how you, a mere clerk, plan to argue your way out.

Upon seeing this, Zhong Wencai slammed his hand on the table.

The teacups on the table rattled loudly, and his gaze was as sharp as a knife as he pierced the general.

"The might of Heaven is overwhelming? General, have you perhaps forgotten our army and the false Xia dynasty?"

These are two major defeats in the last two years, aren't they?

When everyone saw that he was angry, they immediately fell silent and cheered.

It is true that Zhong Wencai came from a clerical background.

But it's true that he's my boss now.

"These two major defeats resulted in the loss of 400,000 soldiers and officers for our army."

We also lost Marshal Su, a pillar of our army.

The surrounding barbarians used to fear us because our army was large and had many generals.

With our superior combat power, what do we have left for others to fear?

Zhong Wencai became more and more excited as he spoke, pointing towards the military camp outside.

"They're now afraid of a squad from our military camp outside."

"So, are there two old soldiers and two young soldiers?"

After he finished speaking, the tent was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The generals who were just laughing and jeering,

Zhong Wencai's harsh rebuke hit him in the face.

They all looked like wilted eggplants, their heads drooping dejectedly.

He didn't even dare to lift his eyelids.

Especially that lieutenant general who was just laughing with his head tilted back,

At this moment, his face was flushed red, and his neck was even turning purple from holding his breath.

His head was almost touching his chest, and his hands gripped his sword tightly.

His knuckles were white, yet he dared not utter a single word in rebuttal.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhong Wencai's tense jawline slowly relaxed.

He slowly sat back in his chair, his fingertips lightly tapping the table.

The voice regained its composure, yet carried an undeniable authority:

"Within three days, a detailed deployment map of the reinforcements on the eastern front will be available."

And the deployment plan for the withdrawal of troops from the North.

All documents have been submitted to my office. Today's meeting is adjourned. Dismiss the account!

......

At night, the Great Zhou Imperial Palace was brightly lit everywhere.

As it was almost time to go to sleep, the busy figures of the palace maids and eunuchs...

We moved through each passageway.

The emperor, still in his study, was reviewing memorials from all over the country.

After finishing reading the scroll of memorials in his hand, he couldn't help but yawn.

Seeing this, a nearby eunuch quickly stepped forward and asked:

"Your Majesty, it is late at night. Your health is of utmost importance. It is time to make your own arrangements."

This servant has seen that he has read almost all the memorials on the Emperor's desk.

Or... this servant will go to the Imperial Household Department to fetch the token for the Emperor's bedchamber service.

"You can choose one of the ladies to accompany you, so you can rest more peacefully."

The emperor nodded, about to agree, when a report came from outside.

"Your Majesty, Minister of War Shen Tong requests an audience outside the palace."

"Why is Minister Shen here to see me so late?"

Upon seeing this, the emperor shook his head slightly and smiled.

"Your Majesty, if you do not wish to see him, perhaps this servant may go and refuse him on your behalf?"

"Alright, let him in! If it delays urgent military intelligence..."

Wouldn't that make me a tyrant? Haha!

The emperor smiled broadly, waved his hand, and decided to meet with Shen Tong after all.

A moment later, Shen Tong walked in from outside.

As soon as he entered the room, he knelt down and bowed, saying, "Your humble servant Shen Tong, I apologize for disturbing you so late at night..."

"Alright, Minister Shen, get up quickly! Let's skip these formalities."

"Why have you come to see me at this hour?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your humble servant has just received a military report from the army's scribe."

During today's military camp meeting, Commander Zhong and the other generals argued over the strategy of redeploying troops.

His words touched upon important military matters such as the depletion of troops in the north and the lapses in defense on the eastern front.

This record of conversations with the military chronicler concerns the safety of the capital.

Your humble servant dared not delay even for the slightest, and rushed here day and night to present this to Your Majesty for your perusal!

Upon hearing this, the emperor's face revealed a satisfied smile.

"Hmm, quickly send it up so I can take a look."

After Shen Tong handed it over, the emperor carefully examined it several times.

After a moment's thought, he burst into laughter again.

Those military scribes generally focused primarily on recording the words and actions of high-ranking officers.

Like every word Zhong Wencai said in the barracks today,

Everything was recorded word for word, clearly and plainly.

However, in order to distinguish between genuine and fake, emperors were generally quite cautious.

So he looked at it carefully several times.

As the emperor spoke, he slowly rose to his feet, his fingertips lightly tapping the record.

A hint of approval flashed in his eyes: "This kid..."

No wonder Minister Su valued him so much back then, haha!

Okay, we'll do as he says.

Then, the emperor paced back and forth, his gaze falling on the deep night outside the window.

It seemed he was thinking of those arrogant old generals in the military camp.

After a moment's hesitation, he said again, "Minister Shen,"

I'm afraid that kid won't be able to keep those seasoned veterans in check.

Alright then! Issue my decree to bestow my black iron sword upon Zhong Wencai.

Holding this sword is like having the Emperor himself present; any disobedience or disobedience in the army will be met with wrath.

He can act first and report later if there is any delay in the transfer of troops; there is no need to report everything!

Upon hearing this, Shen Tong immediately bowed and replied, "Your humble servant obeys the decree!"

The emperor waved his hand, his tone carrying a deeper meaning:

"What I want is stability for the Great Zhou. Since Zhong Wencai has this vision and courage..."

I trust him. We don't need to interfere too much; just let him do it.
