For the members of the Princess Guard, they had basically completed what needed to be done. They only needed to wait for the signal to launch an attack according to the established plan and achieve their objectives.

However, all of this is based on the premise that we can wait for this signal.

Without this signal, their waiting here would be a complete waste of time.

But so much time has already been wasted here, so much time cost has already been spent, wouldn't it be a waste if we didn't wait here?
However, waiting here indefinitely was not what they had in mind.

Placing one's hopes on others might have happened to the Princess Guard in the past, but for the current Princess Guard, they truly do not want to have such thoughts, nor do they want such a situation to occur.

They came to seek revenge, but also to complete a mission. If possible, they would naturally prefer to do it all themselves rather than rely on others and become mere supporting characters.

"So what should we do now?" Zhao Kuang raised his head, looked at the brothers around him, and sat down without hesitation, asking and urging them directly.

Although everyone is literate and has learned a lot of knowledge, only a few people can truly integrate and apply that knowledge to their own abilities.

Most people study books simply to broaden their horizons, increase their knowledge, or utilize the knowledge within them. However, those who truly learn the thought patterns found in books and expand their own thinking are actually few and far between, even within the Princess Guard.

Although Zhao Kuang was also one of the centurions, he was not among those who expanded their thinking patterns. He could only apply the knowledge he had learned, and his understanding was limited to knowing the "what" but not the "why".

"We need to find a way to seize the initiative in this war. Only in this way can we get out of our current awkward situation." Yu Yao looked up at the sky and said calmly, "Although our position seems to be able to make up for some of General Guan's tactical shortcomings, will such shortcomings really arise under General Guan's planning?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present instantly understood its meaning.

Under normal circumstances, would a military unit have such a gap in its planning?
How could that be?

A plan with such a loophole will never be implemented.

Moreover, the strategists among them are Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, who are among the best in the world, as well as the outstanding young talents, Fa Zheng and Fa Xiaozhi.

They had not been exposed to the former's abilities, but a great reputation is bound to have some undeserved merit.

The latter goes without saying; everyone had studied together for a period of time and knew each other's abilities very well.

wrong.

It can't be said that they knew everything about him. Fazheng might have known their abilities thoroughly, but they couldn't figure out his true nature no matter what.

The difference in the information they have about each other is even more indicative of their intellectual disparity.

Moreover, everyone is well aware of the situation when Fa Zheng faced Guo Jia.

Although Fazheng keeps shouting that he wants to overthrow Guo Jia, so far, it seems that Fazheng has never gained the upper hand in any aspect.

“Even if we were to plan it, we wouldn’t do something like this. Whether it’s luring the enemy deep into our territory or secretly crossing the Chencang pass, wouldn’t this be a weakness?” Liu Hu slowly shook his head, expressing his thoughts.

Even in terms of cunning and scheming, people of their caliber can come up with corresponding methods, so why couldn't Fazheng and the others? By following this line of thought and reasoning backward, the reason becomes easy to understand.

It is because of their existence that this gap exists, and they are needed to fill it.

"With this opportunity, we can accomplish the great feat of blocking the enemy's retreat and make a fortune on our record." Ma Zhong, who was also thinking of this outcome, said with a somewhat grim expression, "The result doesn't even need to be great; the battle results will be absolutely outstanding."

Whether they succeed in blocking the road or fail, as long as they went into battle and were in that position, they deserve credit, even if they didn't.

The difference lies in good performance versus poor performance. Good performance will result in more outstanding achievements and a greater share of merit points, while poor performance will still yield a considerable amount of merit points.

But what are the reasons behind having such conditions and benefits?

Is it because they are here?
No, simply because of their status.

“We are the Princess’s Guard, representing the Princess’s will, or rather, the will of His Majesty, the will of the nation.” Zhao Kuang’s face revealed a hint of arrogance, his tone serious and earnest. “It is precisely because we represent these things that, as long as we exist, we can obtain things that we cannot obtain under normal circumstances.”

Other legion soldiers fight bravely and fight hard to earn the merits they deserve, but as long as they stay on the front line, someone will find a way to give them merits, and these merits are legitimate, at least ostensibly legitimate.

The benefits of doing so are self-evident.

Without shedding blood or making sacrifices, one can gain merit and achievements that others can only envy.

But is this reasonable?
That's reasonable, very reasonable.

It's the same principle as the emperor personally leading an expedition. Even if the emperor does nothing, just being present at the front lines is considered meritorious and a great achievement.

But were they emperors?
No, then can they represent the emperor's will?
Perhaps in other people's eyes, they can.

But those within the family know their own situation, including Ma Zhong, who knows how complicated these matters are.

“Enjoying the credit allocated by others and the planned credit sounds pretty good.” Liu Hu shook his head, but there was no smile in his voice. He said quite seriously, “Everyone knows very well that we came to this place this time, even going so far as to cross mountains and valleys, not for the merits in the eyes of others, nor to prove ourselves. We came for revenge, and at the same time, to wash away the shame on our bodies.”

For four hundred years, the Han Dynasty nurtured scholars; today, those who uphold righteousness and die for their principles do so.

This might be just a slogan to others, but for the members of the Princess Guard, it was definitely not just a slogan.

In that era of war and chaos, even someone as strong as Ma Zhong could not live a stable life with enough to eat and wear.

Moreover, among the crowd present, how many could be as strong as Ma Zhong?

It's fair to say that if the imperial court hadn't intervened, the vast majority of people wouldn't have seen the sun today, let alone be living the life they have now.

As for why the environment has become the way it was before, everyone knows the reason, and everyone also knows who is at fault. (End of Chapter)
