The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich - Chapter 2010
Chapter 2010: Finale
In the imperial court of Longyan Country, the ministers who were attending morning court suddenly received a piece of good news. The Defender General had intercepted 50,000 enemy troops and won a complete victory. Our side had only lost 200 soldiers.
“Good, good, good!” Upon hearing such good news, the old Emperor immediately said ‘good’, his face beaming with joy!
The officials in the court were also extremely happy.
No one had expected that the first battle would be fought so beautifully.
“The Defender General is so powerful!”
” As soon as the Defender General stepped out, he defeated the enemy. It’s really satisfying!”
..
While everyone was praising Jiang Zhennan, the old Emperor felt exceptionally puzzled.
According to the schedule, Jiang Zhennan would not reach the military camp so soon.
However, based on his fighting style, it was definitely Jiang Zhennan.
So, what was going on here?
Just as he was feeling puzzled, the soldier who reported raised a letter in his hand and said,” Your Majesty, this is the letter that the Great General has submitted to Your Majesty!”
“Hand it over!” The old emperor said in a dignified manner.
When the old Emperor opened the letter, apart from the content of the battle, Jiang Zhennan also told him how to return to the military camp. He rode Big Black and Little Black back on the mountain road.
This letter solved the doubts in the Emperor’s heart. At the same time, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Jiang Zhennan had rushed back in time. Otherwise, the enemy’s night attack might have succeeded.
“Haha, good!” After reading the letter, the old Emperor was very happy.” Great General is indeed the God of War. He defeated the enemy the moment he entered the battlefield!”
After praising Jiang Zhennan, the emperor and his subjects talked about the Crown Prince leading a hundred thousand troops to the border.
The Crown Prince leading the army was not a big secret.
Apart from the Emperor, no one in the imperial court knew that the Crown Prince was leading the army because Jiang Zhennan had accompanied Lin Yuelan to the Black Clouds Kingdom. The alliance between the Black Clouds Kingdom and the Adou Acai Kingdom resulted in an army of 600,000, which was a level above the Longyan Kingdom.
In order to ensure victory or minimize losses before Jiang Zhennan returned, they increased their troops and rushed to the border.
However, what surprised the Emperor was that he did not expect Jiang Zhennan to rush to the military camp so quickly.
“Your Majesty, the Crown Prince will lead 100,000 troops to join the Great General. We will definitely win!”
“That’s right. With the Crown Prince at the border, it will definitely inspire the hearts of the people and raise the morale of the army. It will give the soldiers a pillar of support. When they fight, they will become even more brave!”
“Yes, with the Crown Prince overseeing this, we will definitely win!”
Everyone began to praise the Crown Prince, but as they praised him, there was a hint that the Crown Prince had better seize the military power in Jiang Zhennan’s hands.
This was simply nonsense!
A ruler was a ruler, and a general was a general!
The ruler of the country was the ruler, and the generals were the ones who managed the army on the battlefield.
Only with the cooperation of the ruler and the general could the world be at peace.
A monarch leading an army to war, and with no one leading the court, wouldn’t this destroy the military strength of a country?
Although there were cases where the emperor went out to war, wasn’t that when there was no other way?
The Emperor’s face sank, and he was filled with displeasure. He looked at the discussions of the officials below and did not say a word.
However, these ministers were completely unaware.
Eunuch Zhang, who was serving at the side, saw the Emperor’s expression and immediately cried out in his heart.
Then, he coughed to remind the ministers that the emperor was unhappy.
Returning to the royal study, the Emperor sat on the dragon chair. After pondering for a moment, he said to Eunuch Zhang,” Eunuch Zhang, grind the ink!”
“Yes, sir!” Eunuch Zhang immediately replied and quickly went to grind the ink.
After grinding the ink, Eunuch Zhang immediately prepared the Xuan paper.
The Emperor began to write. A moment later, he was done.
After drying the words, he folded them and put them in an envelope. Then, he called a secret guard to deliver the letter to the Crown Prince!
The Crown Prince led a hundred thousand soldiers to the military camp at the border.
However, when he heard that Jiang Zhennan was already in the military camp, the Crown Prince was truly surprised.
He knew very well that Jiang Zhennan had accompanied Lin Yuelan to the Black Clouds Kingdom. It would take some time for them to return to the military camp.
Therefore, his plan was to win over the hearts of the soldiers in the military camp before Jiang Zhennan returned. They would follow the lead of the Crown Prince and not Jiang Zhennan.
After all, he was the future ruler of a country. In the future, these troops would be his, not Jiang Zhennan’s.
However, he never expected Jiang Zhennan to arrive earlier than him.
