Chapter 2323: Arrangements
General Jin thought about it.
Adjutant Pei’s request was not too much.
When the soldiers under General Huang who was led by Adjutant Pei came to Fan Yi Kingdom’s new Capital City, General Jin had already taken a look at those soldiers. And his conclusion was that these soldiers were too tired.
They were incapable of doing fighting to their fullest before their condition was restored.
Toiling on the road for several days had taken most of their energy. Not only their physical strength but also their mental energy from the stress and lack of sleep.
After all, in order to come here, they would have exhausted many means to keep going.
Now that they were here, General Jin had no thought of using them until they dropped dead.
Soldiers are also humans being. Using them on the frontline might indeed be able to help reduce the pressure of other soldiers for a bit. But it would not help much.
These people would only be cannon fodder on the frontline. Generals and strategist have always been the cruelest people on the battlefield. Because it was under their order that many people raised their sword and charged to their own death.
Many people died under their order.
But for the sake of victory and the sake of the kingdom behind them, they were willing to do so and sacrificed their lives on the frontline. For them, what they did was not useless.
They were paving the path for the future of their children and the other people in the kingdom. Even if they would only remain as a nameless soldier who sacrificed their lives on the frontline, they were willing to do so. But General Jin couldn’t be that heartless.
Fan Yi Kingdom was on the verge of their end.
Even though so, he couldn’t really bring himself to ask these soldiers to raise their weapons knowing that they would be nothing more than a cannon fodder.
Perhaps, they wouldn’t even last for a few seconds when they were on the battlefield. It would be very devastating. Would a few seconds make a difference?
General Jin didn’t know.
“I approve,” General Jin said. Adjutant Pei, who was ready for a long talk and negotiation, nearly choked on the air when he heard General Jin’s words. He looked at General Jin in surprise and seeing the general’s solemn look, he took a deep breath and cupped his fist. “Many thanks for your generousity, General Jin.”
General Jin waved his hand. “You may go now and rest. Even if you’re placed inside the city, should the situation need it, you have to take your weapon against the enemies.”
He couldn’t guarantee that the soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom would not breach through the city gate.
But for now, what he could do was to fight hard and make sure that he defended Fan Yi Kingdom’s new Capital City as much as possible.
Because only in this way would it be possible for him to survive.
“Yes, General Jin!”
After saluting once more, Adjutant Pei turned around and left.
General Jin looked at Adjutant Pei’s departing back and sighed deeply. He knew very well that this kind of decision might even lead to Fan Yi Kingdom’s defeat.
But…
These soldiers have paid too much.
So many people have died in this war and General Jin only felt heartache. He had fought against the northern tribe for a long time and had suffered many losses too. At that time, he saw clearly what the result of these wars could bring them.
But if there was no war, the northern tribe didn’t have enough supplies to survive through the winter.
So the conflict became inevitable.
They all have their own reason to start the war.
This war with Fei Yang Kingdom was also the same.
“Let’s hope everything will get better tomorrow,” General Jin murmured to himself and then looked at the map in front of him.
He would still have to arrange his soldiers and the soldiers who stayed in Fan Yi Kingdom’s Capital City for the battle. Hopefully, it would be enough.
…
<Fan Yi Kingdom’s side, Imperial Palace, Prime Minister Zhu’s side>
While General Jin and Adjutant Pei were discussing about the placement of soldiers and then General Jin busied himself with the tactic, other people were also busy.
Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor was so angry with this situation that he kept on smashing various porcelains. Some people said that the sound of porcelain breaking hadn’t stopped in Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor’s Imperial Palace ever since yesterday.
It could be said that Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor was angry.
The sound only stopped this morning.
Prime Minister Zhu guessed that it should be the head eunuch who came to see Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor to discuss the possibility of running away from Fan Yi Kingdom’s new Capital City. The Imperial Palace in this new capital city was basically newly built.
And every imperial palace built, there would be a secret passageway made to facilitate emergency escape. Even though these tunnels were usually not used, but there was also possibility for this thing to be used.
Normally, the tunnels were hidden and not many people knew.
But Prime Minister Zhu knew the path.
Should there be any need, he would use it to escape and followed Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor.
Of course, that was if it was necessary.
For now, Prime Minister Zhu still wanted to see the defeat of Fei Yang Kingdom. Even if he was nothing more than a player on the back, he still wished that Fei Yang Kingdom would lose in the hand of Fan Yi Kingdom. It was also because of this that he was wiling to listen to the prince’s plan.
Aside from the order from Fan Yi Kingdom’s Emperor of course.
“Prime Minister Zhu, this bird arrived,” his servant informed but didn’t dare to touch the bird. If Prime Minister Zhu suspected that he had taken a look at whatever message there were, he would not be able to come out here alive.
