Female special forces soldiers in ancient times

The emperor paused slightly, then turned his gaze to Li Zhong and asked urgently:

"Minister Li, in your opinion, how should we respond?"

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, the most urgent task is to dispatch a general who is well-versed in military strategy and possesses the ability to lead troops."

"To lead the expedition into battle and defend against the enemy forces of the Great Zhou who are invading our territory."

Li Zhong offered his suggestion calmly.

The emperor frowned and continued to ask, "Then who would be most suitable for the court to send on the expedition?"

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Wang was immediately delighted.

He couldn't get a word in edgewise for a while, but this time he finally got a chance to show his face.

So, he couldn't wait to interject, "Your Majesty,"

In my humble opinion, appointing Han Shijie as commander-in-chief and Ma Liangyu as vanguard would be the most suitable option.

"Yes, yes, Prime Minister Wang is absolutely right. Han Shijie is known as the best man in the army."

Ma Liangyu was also highly skilled in martial arts; more importantly, the two of them...

Both of them had followed General Li Fei in his campaigns, so sending the two of them was the safest option.

Wu Lixin also offered flattering advice from the side.

Prime Minister Wang and Wu Lixin had just said they would receive good news soon.

As a result, they were immediately proven wrong.

This time, I finally got a chance to make my presence known.

How could those two possibly let it go?

The eldest prince also hurriedly chimed in, "Father, I also believe that what Prime Minister Wang said is true."

The eldest prince's suggestion a few days ago was not adopted by the emperor.

He was already in a panic, so of course he was anxious to share the emperor's burdens.

The key point is that this method was devised by Prime Minister Wang, the Wang family of the capital.

He knew that pleasing Prime Minister Wang meant pleasing the Wang family, so he had no choice but to actively agree.

After a moment's thought, the second prince quickly stepped forward and said, "Father, I also think Prime Minister Wang's suggestion is excellent."

Han Shijie and Ma Liangyu will surely live up to their mission and repel the enemy for our dynasty.

Clearly, the second prince did not want to miss the opportunity to curry favor with Prime Minister Wang.

Seeing that his elder brothers had all expressed their opinions, the third prince naturally did not want to be left behind.

He said urgently, "Father, I also agree with Prime Minister Wang's opinion."

Seeing that the princes had all said this, all the civil and military officials immediately followed suit and echoed their sentiments.

"What Prime Minister Wang said is absolutely right. I hope His Majesty will make the final decision."

The emperor listened to the crowd's words, his brows furrowed, and he remained melancholy for a moment.

He thought to himself: The situation is urgent now, and there is no time to think any further.

Thinking of this, the emperor slowly said, "At this point, I don't need to think about anything anymore."

Then let it be as Prime Minister Wang says, issue an imperial decree immediately! Appoint Han Shijie as commander-in-chief.

Ma Liangyu will lead 300,000 troops as the vanguard to swiftly set out and resist the enemy army of the Great Zhou. There must be no mistakes!

"Your Majesty is wise!" the ministers shouted in unison.

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Prince turned pale with anger. Indeed, Han Shijie and Ma Liangyu were both exceptionally capable.

However, they had only followed Li Fei before, and currently, the two of them still lacked experience in leading troops into battle.

He had previously changed his usual low profile and spoke to the emperor; in fact, he wanted to make a request of the emperor.

Give him a chance to lead the troops.

Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by the crowd before he could finish speaking.

This left the Fifth Prince only able to harbor his anger inwardly, since he was neither favored by the Emperor nor...

And why are they not favored by the prominent families in the capital?

Li Xiang also stepped forward and slowly said, "Your Majesty, there is an old saying: 'An army marches on its stomach.'"

This deployment of 300,000 troops requires a massive amount of supplies.

Currently, Beijing's warehousing is experiencing a shortage of supplies, and resources need to be sourced from other regions.

Seeing that his second brother had already spoken, Li Xiang also boldly voiced his opinion.

Moreover, the matter of provisions is precisely within his responsibilities as the Minister of Revenue.

The enemy is about to reach the capital, yet they haven't even prepared enough provisions for 200,000 jin of grain? How can they possibly fight this battle?

The emperor's face instantly showed displeasure, and he was about to reprimand the emperor loudly.

However, since the Li brothers, Li Zhong and Li Xiang, were the heads of the prominent Li family in the capital, he had to tolerate them to some extent.

"Yes, as Li Aiqing said, immediately issue my decree to allocate grain and fodder from various places."

Hehe, in the eyes of those ministers, it's best if everything is ordered by the emperor.

In this way, if problems arise, they can conveniently protect themselves.

Therefore, as soon as the emperor uttered these words, everyone echoed, "Your Majesty is wise!"

......

Since the Great Zhou Dynasty launched its military invasion of the Great Xia Dynasty, Li Tingting has recently intensified her training.

She conducts long-distance training every single day without fail.

This kind of training can not only rapidly improve physical fitness and endurance,

Moreover, it especially tests a person's willpower.

She also hopes to get rid of Wu Zha Nan and Wei Yu Feng, these two leeches, through this training.

To everyone's surprise, those two still refused to give up.

Unfortunately, their physical condition was still too weak.

It's been almost a week, and they still haven't been able to complete a 10-kilometer cross-country run with a load.

Chunmei was the same; she would collapse from exhaustion after barely managing to run five kilometers every day.

But she is, after all, a girl, so it's understandable.

Thinking about this, Li Tingting smiled bitterly. In the end, she had only been putting herself through grueling training.

There's no other way; the current situation isn't optimistic. If I don't work hard...

If one can quickly reach the peak of their strength from their previous life, then in this chaotic world...

It becomes very difficult to protect one's family.

Thinking of this, Li Tingting took a deep breath and continued her self-torturing training.

It wasn't until dusk that she dragged her weary body onto the carriage.

Since they had been training in the suburbs of the capital recently, she was too lazy to go back to the General's Mansion.

Instead, they went straight back to Li Zhong's house.

After she and Chunmei returned home, they had only been sitting down for a short while when Li Zhong and Li Xiang also finished their shift and went home.

The two brothers discussed various things on their way home.

Li Tingting interrupted Liang Yue curiously: "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, what were you whispering about on the way back?"

Li Xiang smiled and said, "Oh, Tingting is here today too."

I was discussing with your second uncle about procuring provisions from there.

"Oh, Tingting, it's like this! Today, His Majesty has decided to send 200,000 troops to the front lines to fight."

However, the imperial court's grain reserves are currently insufficient, and the Emperor has issued an edict ordering your third uncle...

Grain and fodder were gathered from various locations to supply the army of 200,000.

Li Zhong added with a smile.

Li Tingting's eyes widened in disbelief as she asked, "What? Sending 200,000 troops to the front lines?"

Didn't we already send 100,000 troops to besiege the enemy forces of the Great Zhou?

"It's only been a few days, and they're already sending another 200,000 troops?"

Li Xiang waved his hand helplessly, "Alas! That army of 100,000 has been completely wiped out."

"The opponent was able to move so quickly, so who exactly is in command?"

"Who will lead the vanguard? And how many troops have arrived?" Li Tingting continued to probe with these probing questions.
