At the tender age of eight, he was hastily dragged out and made emperor!

A conflict and slaughter involving tens of thousands of people broke out at the border between the northern frontier of Dayu and the southern region of Murong, which inevitably attracted a lot of attention.

Wars between nations are often like this.

Without any prior warning, one side will take corresponding actions, and the other side will retaliate. As both sides invest more and more resources, a large-scale war with far-reaching impact will begin.

The northern border of the Great Yu Dynasty was destroyed, and the city of the barbarians was destroyed.

The location of the General's Mansion.

"Marquis Chenyang, according to the intelligence I have so far, more than half of the area along the Tuowu Mountains under the jurisdiction of the Northern Barbarians is under martial law." Inside the main hall, Li Gan stared at Sun Bin with a serious expression and a firm voice.

"This is much faster than expected. Considering the various towns and passes along the northern border of our dynasty and the elite troops led by the Duke of Baoguo, I think there are two possibilities that led to this change in the northern barbarians."

"Which two?"

Sun Bin did not turn around, but looked up at the map hanging there.

"Firstly, the Southern Court of the Northern Barbarians must have sensed something and felt that our dynasty intended to launch an offensive against us, which is why they made such a change."

Li Gan glanced at Li Hu and the others, then spoke his mind: "Secondly, the Northern Barbarian Central Government must have sent some news to the Southern Capital. Based on what I know, apart from the unfavorable battle with the Khanate of the Zanpu in the north, I don't think there's anything that could cause such a commotion in the Tuowu Mountains."

Which one do you prefer?

Sun Bin slowly turned around and looked at Li Gan.

"Ah."

Li Gan frowned slightly, paused for a moment, and then said, "This humble general tends to favor the second option. Even now, this humble general does not think that our dynasty has done anything that could provoke the Northern Barbarians. After all, in the eyes of the world, our dynasty's current troubles are the rebellion in the Zongqingdao area and the complex and ever-changing national situation."

"This kind of public opinion is still prevalent along the northern border."

"If this is the case even under our rule, let alone the border troops separated from our dynasty by various towns and passes. Even if the Northern Barbarians have spies and informants, it will take some time and effort to detect anything unusual."

Sun Bin smiled and then looked at Li Hu, Li Ji, Huang Long and other officers.

"what about you?"

Li Hu, Li Ji, and Huang Long exchanged glances, their faces displaying different expressions. Then, Li Hu stepped forward first, "This humble general also leans towards the second option!"

"This humble general leans towards the second option!!"

"This humble general..."

Under Sun Bin's watchful gaze, the generals stepped forward one after another.

Li Gan showed no emotional reaction to this.

"Whether it's the first or the second method, we can only know after trying it. After all, the results don't lie." Under these circumstances, Sun Bin placed his hands on his belt, revealed a faint smile, and pointed to a spot on the map behind him.

"Regardless of the reason, the Tuowu Mountains have caused this commotion. The various Northern Barbarian armies stationed here also look down on our Great Yu. As for the reasons, I won't go into details."

"Since that's the case, then plant a flag in Tuowu City. I'm curious, what will the Northern Barbarians' reaction be when they find out that Tuowu City has a flag that doesn't belong to the Northern Frontier?"

Huang Long's breathing became rapid!

Sun Bin's words made him think it was time for the Imperial Guards to be mobilized!

But the expressions of Li Gan, Li Hu, and Li Ji, who were all veterans of many battles, changed.

"My lord, you don't mean to send the Southern army's vanguard straight to Tuowu City, do you?!"

When Li Gan's voice rang out, Huang Long's expression changed.

The vanguard of the Southern Army?!

This elite force of over ten thousand men had already left Zongqingdao without a trace. No one knew where they were now except for Sun Bin.

That's not the key point. The key point is that among this pioneering group were a host of noble sons, including Zong Zhi, Chang Feng, Li Bin, Han Cheng, Dong Heng, Cao Jing, Shangguan Xiu, Sun Ben, and Xu Bin!

Of course, the combined military strength of the aforementioned sons of nobles was less than three thousand. The remaining troops were commanded by people like Duanmu Yu, Qiu Hai, Shu Yuqing, Ning Bowu, Shen Kai, and Kou Guang.

These people originally belonged to various units of the Shanglin Army, but were later transferred to Han Qing's command. Some of them died on the battlefield.

They all share one thing in common: they all possess the Great Yu general's sword bestowed upon them by the Great Yu Emperor!

"Yes."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Sun Bin calmly said, "Judging by the time, they will soon reach Tuowu City. With their arrival, the Tuowu Mountain Range should also be in turmoil."

crazy!

It's crazy! !

Upon hearing this, Li Gan and Li Hu were all shocked. They knew exactly who the vanguard of this Southern Army was.

All the noble sons who had been trained in the Southern Army went to Tuowu City. If some people along the northern border knew about this, they would definitely be moved by it!

As for Duanmu Yu and his group, Li Gan and his men were unaware of them.

Only those who had previously stayed at Shanglin Garden knew the identities of these people.

"Marquis Chenyang!"

Under Huang Long's watchful gaze, Li Ji stepped forward, glaring as if about to say something, but before he could finish speaking, Sun Bin waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Let me tell you frankly, from the moment Sun Ben and his men were incorporated into the Southern Army's vanguard, they were destined to become bait for me."

Sun Bin remained expressionless and said in a firm tone, "Given the current overall situation, relying solely on the Duke of Baoguo's forces to advance is insufficient to achieve my expectations."

"Since we're going to fight the war in the north, we have to make sure the northern barbarians are badly hurt!!"

“You are all seasoned veterans, and you understand this principle better than anyone else. When a perfect opportunity arises, let alone them, even if more people die, when it’s time to make a decision, you must make a decision!”

"On the battlefield, there's no such thing as one being more valuable than another. The most valuable are the valiant soldiers who survive, for they are the precious treasure of the Great Yu!"

Li Gan, Li Hu, and Li Ji stared intently at Sun Bin.

"The moment the Southern Army's vanguard marched towards Tuowu City, it meant that the Northern Barbarians' attention would be diverted," Sun Bin continued. "The Duke of Baoguo must return to Tuowu City alive. The focus now should be on Tuowu City, not on the border between the two countries. This is not only to probe the Southern Region of the Northern Barbarians and the Southern Court Prince's Mansion, but also to build up strength for the subsequent battle!"

"His Majesty has borne countless burdens and endured immense hardships for this battle."

"The humiliation our dynasty suffered in the northern frontier has finally come to an end. We can even use this battle to severely damage the northern barbarians' forces in the southern region. Anyone who dares to do anything behind my back, causing any problems with their plans, will face my ruthless retribution!"

This is the real Sun Bin.

A commander with strong opinions and a distinctive personality!

His powerful aura forced Li Gan, Li Hu, Li Ji and other fierce generals to suppress the emotions welling up inside them.

"Huanglong!!"

"Your subordinate is here!!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Huang Long stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and shouted.

"Immediately dispatch elite cavalry to Zhengbei City," Sun Bin said firmly. "Tell the General of Zhengbei that he doesn't have much time left!"

"Yes!"

Huang Long immediately shouted.

Wow~

With a clattering sound of armor plates colliding, Huanglong quickly left.

"Li Hu."

"The general is here!"

"From this day forward, martial law will be imposed on the entire city of Mielu. You are only allowed to enter, not leave!"

"Yes!"

"Li Ji—"

Sun Bin's command rang out, and every officer present obeyed without question. Everyone knew one thing: from this day forward, even greater changes would occur in the northern frontier...
