The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

Zhang Shi possessed an extremely heavy air of authority; in some respects, he even surpassed Ren Tianye in this regard.

After all, he was a ruthless man who had truly ravaged the grasslands. The scars on his face were the marks of his past and a symbol that made everyone who saw him tremble with fear.

Know……

This person is absolutely capable of killing someone with a knife!

As soon as Zhang Shi announced the rules, the entire military camp, no matter how noisy and lively it had been just moments before, instantly fell silent.

Everyone turned to look at Zhang Shi.

He looked at Zhang Shi, whose face was flushed and who could not hide his excitement.

We have to wait for Zhang Shili to follow the rules.

The newly surrendered couple, Liu Xu and Gao Ning, instinctively stood up.

Zhang Shi slowly spoke, "This general has made his decision. I will lead this army to resolutely carry out the Duke's orders, which is... to resolutely crack down on those obsessed with love!"

"and……"

"We should not only crack down on it, but also provide everyone with a channel."

"A channel for seeking redress!"

"From now on, wherever there are people with romantic fantasies, I, Zhang Shi, will be there, and I will definitely crack down on them!"

"So, I, Zhang Shi, will definitely save anyone who suffers because of being love-struck."

"Even if those love-struck fools flee to the ends of the earth, to the depths of the grasslands... I, Zhang Shi, will surely lead my army to subdue them!"

After speaking, Zhang Shi looked around, his gaze landing on Lu Shuang, and asked, "Miss Lu Shuang, what do you think of the rule I've set?"

Lu Shuang nodded: "Excellent, excellent!"

"No, it's excellent!"

"From what I understand, if this rule spreads throughout Yunjing, then... General Zhang Shi, your future will surely be bright!"

"good!"

Zhang Shi shouted, "Then let's finalize this rule and distribute it throughout Yunjing!"

"Hmph, aren't the people of the Yun Jing Alliance the best at spreading rumors that the Duke's army is cold-blooded and ruthless? Now, I'll use the same method to let the million people of Yun Jing know what the Duke's army is doing in Yun Jing!!"

Zhang Shih-hao faced countless challenges with composure.

The military camp was also in an uproar.

The documents that had been prepared in advance were immediately summarized and copied. Liu Xu and Gao Ning also immediately mobilized their connections in Fanshan Fort to speed up the transcription.

As a result, the preparations were already more than halfway done as soon as the banquet ended, and by the next morning, more than a thousand declarations had been printed.

Led by Lu Shuang, the team conducted in-depth publicity.

The destination, naturally, is the second of the two greatest barriers to Pukou City, which is...

Linjiang Shazui Water Village!

……

Pukou City.

The garrison commander, Zhou Xiong, finally figured out the situation at Fanshan Fort.

The letter in his hand detailed everything, including how Liu Xu, the garrison commander of Fanshan Fort, surrendered to Zhang Shi, how Liu Xu's wife, Ke Xunfang, a member of the Tongxin Alliance, divorced him, and how Gao Ning rose to power.

The more Zhou Xiong looked, the angrier he became!

When anger reaches its peak, it's impossible not to control oneself.

"Sizzle!"

"Sizzle!"

……

He tore the letter to pieces in his anger!

With a flick of the wrists, they floated gracefully in the air.

Zhou Xiong's face turned ashen, and he burst into a tirade of curses.

"idiot!"

"idiot!"

"A fool worthy of being recorded in history books!"

"Why can't we just stay and defend Fanshan Fortress? Why do we have to divorce them?!"

"Now that you've handed over Fanshan Fortress to others, what kind of good end do you think you'll get?"

"Damn it... I shouldn't have trusted the Tongxin Alliance. Even if they are natural enemies of Ren Tianye, they are not worth trusting even a little bit."

"Chun Chun is mentally ill!"

"He/She has a serious illness!"

Even after Zhou Xiong finished cursing, he was still not satisfied.

He practically wanted to rush to Fanshan Fortress, hang that stupid woman Ke Xunfang up, and whip her a hundred times.

As angry as I am, I have to face the consequences eventually.

In particular, since Zhang Shi easily captured Fanshan Fort, he is very likely to set his sights on Linjiang Shazui Water Village next.

Fanshan Fort and Linjiang Shazui Water Village were both natural barriers for Pukou City, forming two major defensive positions.

Once Zhang Shi obtains Fanshan Fort, he can take advantage of its higher elevation to station troops for observation and even use artillery to control the area.

If we also capture the riverside sandbar, we can block the river docks, cut off their retreat, and also tie down the troops guarding the south gate...

the most important is……

He first lost Fanshan Fort, then Linjiang Shazui Water Village. The trust he had already built in Yunjing was now irretrievably lost. Yunjing would most likely send someone to take his position as the garrison commander.

At that time, his ambition will completely dissipate and collapse.

"The riverside sandbar and water fortress must never be lost!"

"This time, I must hold the Linjiang Sandbar Water Fortress firmly!"

An idea instantly formed in Zhou Xiong's mind.

The Linjiang Sandbar Water Fortress was inherently easy to defend and difficult to attack. The surrounding area consisted of large stretches of muddy riverbanks, making it difficult for infantry to advance as they became stuck in the silt. Heavy warships could not approach the shallows, and only small sampans could get close to the edge of the fortress.

In addition, Ren Tianye's soldiers were mostly infantry, not adapted to fighting on water, which made this strategic location, along with the naval defenses of the riverside sandbar, essential.

Under normal circumstances, Zhang Shi's soldiers would not be as helpless as they were facing in Pukou City, but it would still take a great deal of effort and a lot of time to take it down.

He will have plenty of opportunities to send troops to the rescue during this period.

Can……

The actual situation he repeatedly encountered was completely different from the real predicament, so he had to find another way.

The first solution immediately popped into my head.

"The wife of Shen Du, the chieftain of Linjiang Shazui Water Village, is also a member of the Tongxin Alliance. She is naturally hostile to Ren Tianye's army and would never surrender, so..."

"As long as she doesn't cause trouble or act recklessly, there won't be any problems with Linjiang Shazui Water Village."

"Then I..."

"I must write her a letter!"

Zhou Xiong, residing in Yun Jing, had always disliked the romanticized lifestyles of the people there and disliked associating with them, but now…

For the greater good of Pukou City!

He has to deal with him!

He wrote a letter himself.

One thing was emphasized in the letter.
