The number one spendthrift woman in the capital actually brings glory to her entire family?

Besides, you will be ascending the throne in less than three months. Shouldn't you be staying in the capital and preparing properly?

Reorganize the troops!

At this moment, Feng Yang finally grasped another key point in His Highness's words!

His Highness the Crown Prince wants to win a quick victory by personally attacking the Shu Kingdom and unifying the Eastern Continent.

"Your Highness, hasn't the Wing King already secretly led his troops to approach the Xichuan Mountains? And before that..."

"I don't want anything to go wrong with the plan. Tuoba Yu is not to be underestimated. When it comes to scheming and power, even the Prince of Yi is no match for him. Feng Yang, go and investigate whether Tian Sheng has made any major troop movements recently. Also, arrange some unexpected events along the way. Before I conquer Shu, I want Tian Sheng's princess to be unable to reach the capital of Dayong."

Tuoba Yu?

The Third Prince of Tiansheng, whose talent is astounding, is almost on par with their Crown Prince and Xifenglie of the Great Liao. Could it be that the contest between the Great Zhou and Tiansheng is about to begin?

A surge of excitement welled up in Feng Yang's heart. He took a deep breath before replying, "Yes, Your Highness!"

His voice had barely faded when Di Beizun had vanished from sight. Just as he was about to leave, a sharp yet reverent voice suddenly rang out from ahead—

"This old servant greets Your Highness the Crown Prince. Your Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty summons you to the palace for an audience."

……

Feng Yang did not hear His Highness's reply. He only saw His Highness indifferently walk through the green water and flowers. When the black figure disappeared into the flowers, his calm and indifferent voice came: "I have to go out for a while. Tell him that whatever it is, we can talk about it when I return."

The eunuch who came to deliver the message dared not say anything. He bowed deeply to the disappearing figure and then hurriedly left.

Half an hour later, Feng Yang had just finished organizing his troops at the drill ground outside the capital city and made all the preparations when he heard the clanging of hooves from behind. Looking up, he saw a large troop of men rushing towards him like thunder through the billowing dust.

Once the sound of hooves subsided, they saw that the person in the lead was none other than their Crown Prince, Emperor Beizun.

He had changed into a black outfit, with a hooded cloak draped over his shoulders, concealing himself beneath it. He was imposing and powerful, with a deep and unfathomable gaze that seemed calm and gentle, yet the aura emanating from him always gave off a sense of coldness and sharpness, like the edge of a blade.

"Your Highness, the 100,000 troops have been fully prepared."

Feng Yang stepped forward respectfully, clasped his hands in greeting, and said...

Di Beizun slightly pulled on the reins and glanced at the 100,000 fully equipped soldiers on the side. These 100,000 soldiers were all cavalry, one of the most fierce and brave armies that Di Beizun had gradually organized over the past ten years of war. This army was loyal only to their master, Di Beizun.

"Are you confident that you can cross the Western Sichuan Mountains and conquer the Shu Kingdom within three months?"

Emperor Beizun gazed at the 100,000 passionate soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty and asked a question calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, 100,000 soldiers raised their arms and shouted, "Victory! Victory! Victory!"

A thunderous sound ripped through the sky, and the swift blades flashed, creating a dazzling display of starlight in the air above the training ground. After the shouts subsided, Di Beizun calmly withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

"set off!"

The bugle call to battle sounded, flags fluttered, and the thunderous sound of horses' hooves echoed like a thousand thunderclaps as they followed the Crown Prince of the Northern Empire, leaving the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty and heading northwest.

According to the Red Moon Handbook, in the late winter of the 466th year of the Red Moon Calendar, the Crown Prince of the Northern Empire led 100,000 iron cavalry out of the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty and headed to the Western Sichuan Mountains. The final battle of the Northern Emperor's unification of the Eastern Continent was launched, and a new round of conquest began.

Meanwhile, many historical books in later generations have different opinions on the Crown Prince of the Northern Army's sudden expedition. Books such as "Biographies of Influential Figures" and "Unofficial Histories of Influential Figures" have made speculations.

In that same year, in the northwestern part of Dayong, on the border of the Great Wilderness, a bloody storm led by an unknown boy of less than seventeen years old shook the entire Fengyun Continent. A brilliant general rose up, and the legend of a powerful empress began to slowly burst forth with dazzling light.

Northwestern border of Dayong, southern part of Mount Yisu.

Amidst the soft, drifting snowflakes of early morning, Li Ji and Zhang Feng stared in disbelief at the towering, magnificent ice city that had sprung up from the ground before them, speechless with astonishment!

The adult did just that!

The indestructible ice city!

It was even more solid than the thick city walls made of mud and soil. The city walls were several meters high, the city gates were heavily guarded, and there were tall watchtowers and temporary arrow towers. All of this was completed so quickly and efficiently in just a few days. It was simply unbelievable!

Inside this vast ice city, there are thousands of temporary tents, and the city's secret granary is ready to receive disaster relief supplies. All the work is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Lord Sikong lifted a corner of the tent and saw Zhang Feng and Li Ji staring blankly at the magnificent ice city opposite. He coughed a few times and the two came back to their senses.

"My lord! This is amazing!"

Li Ji greeted him, "Sir, how did you know that splashing water on the wall could build such a sturdy ice city?"

"Yes, sir! General Li and I can hardly believe it's true!" Zhang Feng greeted him with admiration and asked in surprise.

Sikong Jin emerged from the tent, raised an eyebrow, stood with her hands behind her back, looked up at the seemingly endless ice city opposite, and explained calmly, "Although the temperature difference between day and night is significant here, the daytime temperature is still very low. Even if ice forms at night, it won't melt during the day."

"Sir, you are truly a master! Now we no longer need to worry about having nowhere to shelter in this icy wasteland!"

Zhang Feng exclaimed excitedly.

Sikong Jin smiled and shook her head. "To build an ice city like this, many conditions must be met. It must not only meet the water needs of the disaster-stricken people, but also take into account the conditions for various defense implementations, because we must rely on it to get through the severe cold for at least three or four months."

"General Li, are the troops ready for deployment?"

"Everything is ready, awaiting only your orders, sir."

Sikong Jin nodded, stretched, and sighed, "I'll leave this place to you. The situation on the border is dire and urgent. I need to get there immediately."

"Yes, sir, please rest assured, we will definitely complete the mission successfully!"

"You must make sure to contact and assist the government offices of various prefectures and counties. If you encounter anyone who attempts to incite riots or prevent you from implementing relief measures, execute them without hesitation if you cannot dissuade them."

"Yes!"
