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

"I know you can't have children, and the Shen family is desperate for a boy to carry on the family line, so you'll have conflicts. But you fucking remember this... if you dare to divorce Shen Du because of this, and Ren Tianye takes advantage of the situation, I'll kill you even if the city falls!"

"remember!"

"You are not allowed to divorce Shen Du!"

"Absolutely no divorce allowed!"

"Let Shen Du defend the Linjiang Sandbar Water Fortress!"

"Otherwise, take Ke Xunfang of Fanshan Fort as a cautionary tale!"

Even after finishing the letter, Zhou Xiong was still worried.

We were truly terrified by the fool Ke Xunfang of Fanshan Fortress, so we had to find another way.

Other methods...

It's not exactly a good solution.

But it was something they had no choice but to do.

That is... to send someone to monitor everything at Linjiang Shazui Water Village!

To avoid any further accidents.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand, signaling for the captain of the enforcement team to come over. After all, this was one of his most capable subordinates, and having him supervise would not pose much of a problem.

But as soon as the order was given, he regretted it.

"Wait a moment!"

"General, what's wrong?"

Zhou Xiong did not answer, remaining silent.

The words of Granny Sun came to mind.

As the saying goes, words are like poison needles. At the time, he couldn't help but have doubts. Now that he thinks about it, what if that bastard really surrendered? Wouldn't he have failed at the last minute?

then……

Zhou Xiong then ordered, "Summon the deputy captain of the enforcement team."

"yes!"

……

In front of the riverside sandbar and water village.

Zhang Shi's army has arrived.

However, they did not launch a rash attack.

Inside the military camp, the generals analyzed the situation.

"This mudflat is all mud, making it impossible for large ships to move forward and launch an attack. We can only attack when the river rises and floods the beachhead, but the window of opportunity is extremely short."

"We are all infantry, many of whom came from the grasslands. We are not good at naval warfare, and now we don't even have ships. Taking the Linjiang Sandbar Water Fortress is no less difficult than taking Pukou City."

……

The analysis, one by one, reached the ears of Zhang Shi, the commander. It was originally what he was best at, and even what he loved most to do, but now it couldn't motivate him.

He didn't ask for the others' analysis anymore, but walked straight to the main tent entrance. When he reached the guards, he asked, "Has Miss Lu Shuang returned?"

"General, she has just returned. Miss Lu Shuang said she would come to report after changing her clothes. Please wait a moment, General."

A short while later, Lu Shuang entered, dressed in a green robe.

Just as she was about to bow, Zhang Shi stopped her with a gesture and said directly, "Lu Shuang, although this Linjiang Sandbar Water Fortress is not as good as Fanshan Fortress in terms of terrain, it is still a water fortress."

"As you know, our people all come from the north, and a large part of them come from the northern frontier."

"I'm not naturally good at naval warfare."

"Therefore, the difficulty of capturing this riverside sandbar is fundamentally far greater than that of capturing Fanshan Fortress."

"In some ways, it was even more difficult than capturing Pukou City."

"so……"

Zhang Shi paused, staring intently at Lu Shuang.

All the generals inside the tent looked at Lu Shuang.

"so……"

What love story does the chieftain of this riverside sandbar have?

The generals: "???"

Lu Shuang remained calm, her face showing no unusual expression. She stood up and said, "General Zhang Shi, this is exactly what I wanted to report to you."

"The chieftain of this riverside sandbar is named Shen Du, and he is the heir of the Shen family... Yes, General Zhang Shi, you are right."

"This riverside sandbar village has actually been controlled by the Shen family for generations."

"The news has now reached Shen Du."

"Shen Du is not a particularly capable person. His ability to defend a city is mostly average. It can be said that he is not a famous general, and is even worse than an ordinary general."

"However, his love life is quite eventful."

"In his earlier years, he was dissolute, relying on his handsome face and the local influence of the Shen family to have countless affairs with women..."

"Until I met someone, a member of the Tongxin Alliance, named Su Lanxiang. I fell in love at first sight, and she captivated me upon second glance. From then on, of all the beautiful women in the world, I only chose her."

"I want to spend my life with Su Lanxiang and never touch another woman again."

Even though Su Lanxiang was unable to have a child, he remained devoted to her and never touched another woman.

"Because of this, the Shen family is almost going crazy."

"After all, large families like theirs, which have been passed down through generations, are deeply influenced by patriarchal concepts. They value the continuation of their lineage and rely on male descendants to carry on the family business, maintain the family's wealth, and strengthen the clan's power."

"For this reason, the Shen family tried to arrange many concubines for Shen Du, but Shen Du refused them all."

"But it caused several elders in the Shen family to lose almost all their hair."

Zhang Shi nodded and began to analyze the situation seriously.

Unlike before, when he felt these messy relationships gave him a headache and he couldn't understand them, after the surrender of Fanshan Fortress, he could not only understand them but also calm down.

After a moment, he asked, "Doesn't that mean that as long as we can control Su Lanxiang, Shen Du will open the gates of the Linjiang Sandbar Water Fortress?"

"That's right!" Lu Shuang affirmed, saying, "Exactly, Su Lanxiang is also in the Linjiang Sandbar Water Fortress, and she won't be easy to capture."

"That's indeed troublesome!" Zhang Shi nodded, then offered a constructive suggestion: "Is it possible to find information about Su Lanxiang?"

"Does Su Lanxiang have someone she likes or anything?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Shuang was stunned.

Oh no, this is a terrible idea! She never thought of it!

This caused Lu Shuang, who had been sitting calmly and composedly in her chair, to suddenly stand up and bow, saying, "General Zhang Shi, it was my oversight that I forgot about this."

"It's alright." Zhang Shi waved his hand magnanimously, and then said, "However, this matter is very urgent. You must investigate immediately. If you don't have enough manpower, you can choose any good soldiers in the army."

"yes!"

For the first time, Lu Shuang felt immense pressure from Zhang Shi. Without daring to delay, she walked out of the tent and almost bumped into the personal guards who rushed in.

"I'm sorry, Miss Lu Shuang!"

The guard apologized briefly, then turned and knelt before Zhang Shi: "General, someone has arrived. They say they're suffering terribly from being obsessed with love."

"I saw your proclamation, General, and have come seeking your help!"
