Civil officials and military commanders all arrived at the Shenwu Emperor's imperial tent, their faces filled with smug smiles. The Shenwu Emperor brought nearly half of his court officials to the border, and the border imperial tents became a new, small imperial court.
The victorious army converged on the imperial barracks, their triumphant cries resounding through the heavens: "Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty! Our Great Sheng is invincible! Invincible! Invincible! Invincible!"
In the imperial army camp, a general roared with laughter. "Your Majesty is so wise and powerful! He even predicted the tactics of King Beinar so clearly!"
"Your Majesty is wise! You will surely lead us to defeat that Unad Eagle and send it back home as soon as possible!"
"Hahahahaha!"
The Shenwu Emperor lifted the curtain and entered, and everyone knelt on the ground in adoration: "Long live His Majesty!"
"rise!"
The Shenwu Emperor gave a false helping hand and took the first seat. He looked around at the ministers who were all looking up at him. "I see you all are very happy! But I must interrupt your excitement for a moment. I will hold a celebration banquet for all the soldiers later. I have a question for you. Before I became the crown prince, I once attacked the grassland royal court and destroyed the grassland people's nest. So this time, who can tell me where this Unad Eagle has built his nest?"
The people of the grasslands lived by the water and were nomads. They used mobile tents, the earth as their home, and the backs of horses as their beds. Who knew where their royal courts were located?
Emperor Shenwu pointed to a detailed map of the grassland and said, "These are the places marked with water and grass that may be the royal court of the grassland. Take a look!
Qian Hui hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, these five or six places could be the Prairie Royal Court, but this place is clearly a dry and arid land of yellow sand. Your Majesty, is this the Prairie Royal Court?"
The Shenwu Emperor glanced at the generals, each one expressing approval. He then looked at the thoughtful Crown Prince, "Crown Prince, this Unard Eagle has been terrified by our father's exploits in his youth. He will surely choose a place no one else would consider as his headquarters. Do you trust our father?"
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince immediately bowed and said, "I naturally trust you, Father. Father, please allow me to lead the troops to explore this arid land of yellow sand!"
"it is good!"
The Emperor Shenwu made his final decision, then designated two more locations for exploration. The eldest prince volunteered to choose one of them, located only a few dozen miles from the Crown Prince's exploration site. The two brothers exchanged a glance, each bowed in gratitude, and decided on a strategy.
Tonight, the Emperor Shenwu is rewarding the troops with ample meat, plenty of rice, and a glass of light wine. He is also granting rewards, doubling the rewards for the wounded, and immediately disbursing pensions to the families of the deceased. Because of the Emperor Shenwu's strategic planning and anticipation of the enemy, the death toll among the Dasheng soldiers is surprisingly low.
In Fengqi Palace, Lan Qingwu was writing a reply to Emperor Shenwu. On her left hand was an exquisite mahogany box, which contained letters that Emperor Shenwu asked Baiyun to take back to the imperial city.
Lan Qingwu thought about the reply letter from Emperor Shenwu, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he carefully wrote three pages of rice paper.
Emperor Shenwu stood before the imperial army tent, looking up at the eagles circling in the sky, silently calculating the days. Today would be the day he would receive Lan Qingwu's reply. Since Lan Qingwu entered the palace, the two of them had never been apart for such a long time.
A majestic eagle circled and flew down. Emperor Shenwu stretched out his arm and white clouds fell down. Emperor Shenwu took out the letter from the mailbox, waved away the white clouds, and turned to enter the imperial camp.
Emperor Shenwu sat at the imperial desk and couldn't wait to open the letter.
"My husband, Yun Heng, is writing to me like seeing you in person! He is away at war, so don't be too careful! There are no eyes on the battlefield, so be careful. I am doing well at home, and I both want to think of him and am afraid to do so. I hope my husband is healthy, dreams of me every night, and victorious in every battle. I hope he returns home soon. I have a pot of warm wine at home, and I hope to drink with you!"
Emperor Shenwu's phoenix eyes were filled with tenderness. Through the thin letter, he seemed to see Lan Qingwu holding the wine jug in her white hands, and the fragrant wine fell into the glass cup. She held up the glass cup and smiled at him.
In a tent deep in the grasslands, Unard Eagle was furious: "The heavy armored army that I spent so much effort to build has been completely wiped out! Damn it! Damn Emperor Dasheng! My grassland tribe is already short of copper and iron ore. I spent so much effort to build a heavy armored army! How hateful!"
A general in the audience asked, "Don't you think it's suspicious, my king? Why can the Dasheng Emperor so accurately counter all our tactics? And how can he use his sickle army to precisely counter our heavily armored army? I've thought about it from beginning to end, and I don't think this can be just a coincidence!"
Unard Eagle's face was as dark as the abyss: "Are you saying that there are traitors among our grassland tribes?"
The remaining generals looked at each other.
At this time, Nariderlu's miserable cry was heard. His tent was right next to Unard Eagle. Unard Eagle heard it clearly. He gritted his teeth and said, "And that damned abominable Prince Dasheng! He is simply the bloodline of Emperor Dasheng that has cursed our grassland! No! Emperor Dasheng can't reach him for the time being, but we must find a way to eliminate this Prince Dasheng now! Otherwise, our warriors, generation after generation, will be completely suppressed on the grassland by such a person!"
"Come here! Pass on my order - whoever can obtain the head of the Dasheng Crown Prince will be crowned a king of a different surname and enjoy the treatment of a prince!"
Unard Eagle flicked his sleeves and went into the next tent to visit his younger brother. His brother had a broken arm and had been stabbed by the Dasheng Crown Prince, leaving him practically crippled! As for the internal traitor, Unard Eagle also ordered his secret guards to quietly investigate. The various grassland tribes weren't monolithic, and even with his formidable talent and strategy, he had spent considerable time and effort to finally unify the grasslands. Now, at this crucial stage of the Dasheng campaign, Unard Eagle would not allow anyone to hinder his cause!
The war gradually entered a white-hot stage. With the help of Emperor Shenwu's mastery of the Three Strategies of Literature and the Six Strategies of Military Affairs, he was able to plan and win the battle thousands of miles away, making Unard Eagle doubt his life.
The prince has more than once led an elite army and quietly sneaked into the depths of the grassland in an attempt to find the new grassland royal court.
Dasheng Imperial City, Fengqi Palace. Lan Qingwu hadn't rested properly in days. The Crown Prince's letters had stopped coming in over ten days, and Lan Qingwu could no longer reassure himself that this was normal. Then, a letter from the Emperor Shenwu announced that Chu Ming had a special mission and couldn't be contacted for a while, asking Lan Qingwu to be reassured.
How could Lan Qingwu be at ease? She lived in fear every day. At this time, the eldest princess came to the gate of Fengqi Palace to pay a visit to Lan Qingwu again. Lan Qingwu had no intention of dealing with Princess Mingzhu and directly sent her away with Furong.
Princess Mingzhu wasn't as angry as usual, and left in a somewhat cheerful mood. She had heard from her second sister that the Crown Prince had been missing for several days. This news was revealed by the Second Princess's second son-in-law, General Deng. As a military commander, General Deng had naturally led the troops to the border when the border war broke out! Moreover, General Deng had been with the Crown Prince, the First Prince, Chu Shaoze, and several other young generals all day long, so as the Second Princess, she would know about any movement before she did.
The Queen must have been extremely anxious these days, losing her appetite and unable to sleep at night. Princess Mingzhu can't help but be happy!
