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

Pei Wugou snorted coldly, but he didn't hold a grudge against the deputy general. Instead, he swept his gaze over everyone and asked, "How many of you have come this time on orders from Yunjing?"

"General!" The lieutenant, still reeling from the shock and panic, managed to compose himself after a moment, and said, "I have brought 30,000 elite troops on this mission, ordered by the Yun Jing court!"

"And along the way, many menial soldiers were gathered."

"In terms of manpower, logistics, and supplies, everything is in full swing."

"My lord..."

"With such a large force, let's enter Pukou City. We'll be able to defend it tightly, and Ren Tianye's army definitely won't be able to get in."

Pei Wugou glared at the deputy general, realizing that the deputy general was somewhat toxic, always bringing up the most sensitive topics!

I am unwilling to answer.

Someone answered for him, and Song Shaoyi sneered: "Pukou City has already been taken by our Duke. Why would we still be defending Pukou City?"

"You must be dreaming!"

"What?!" The lieutenant's face changed drastically. "Pukou City has fallen? Pukou City has high walls and thick fortifications, and it even has cannons! How could it have fallen?"

"Zhou Xiong, he's truly a piece of trash!"

"They couldn't even defend Pukou City!"

Song Shaoyi casually added, "Pukou City was personally presented to the Duke by Pei Wugou."

This was a classic case of sowing discord. Pei Wugou wasn't stupid, so he naturally understood and immediately flew into a rage, throwing a punch at Song Shaoyi's stomach.

Instantly, intense pain surged like the sea, and Song Shaoyi curled up like a shrimp.

"Hmph, you thief, you talk a lot."

Pei Wugou gave a cold shout and turned to look at the deputy general.

Normally, given his position, he wouldn't need to explain to his deputy, but now, it's clear that it's affecting morale.

He said, "Ren Tianye has captured Pukou City."

The deputy general dared not ask any more questions, but he could guess that Marquis Jingyi, Pei Wugou, must have suffered a great loss in the Battle of Pukou.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have ended up like this.

I've lost a clump of hair.

He could only say, "My lord, if Pukou City falls to Ren Tianye, our army will be unable to advance any further."

"We can only retreat!"

Pei Wugou already had a plan in mind, and said, "Let's retreat to the Jiangbei fortress. Here... I'll devise a plan and make Ren Tianye pay a bloody price!"

"Today's humiliation will be felt again tomorrow..."

"I will definitely repay you tenfold!"

After Pei Wugou finished speaking, he took the reins from the deputy general, mounted his horse, and led the army toward the fortresses north of the river.

After walking for a while, they set up camp.

He was full of energy and personally led his deputy and others to inspect the military camp to ensure that there were no problems in any aspect.

Don't let Ren Tianye attack your tail again!

Overall, Pei Wugou was quite satisfied with the journey.

These soldiers were all elites sent by Yunjing, each with exceptional qualities, and in particular, most of them had backgrounds in the south!

—Water permeability!

This is also what Pei Wugou values ​​most.

Ren Tianye's military power is currently strong, and he has made unstoppable progress, even taking Pukou City. So, the only things that can stop Ren Tianye in Yunjing are the natural barrier of the Yangtze River and Zijin Mountain!

Especially the natural barrier of the Yangtze River!

It can be said that this place determined the outcome of the entire battle.

If they can completely defeat Ren Tianye at the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, then Yunjing will be safe and sound, and may even have the opportunity to sweep across the world with their might.

However, if Ren Tianye were to breach the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, the resulting shock alone would throw Yunjing into chaos.

Therefore, the Yangtze River is the greatest natural barrier.

In order to defend the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, in addition to the terrain, they have another extremely important advantage!

that is...

Water permeability!

The soldiers Ren Tianye led were mostly northern soldiers, many of whom had returned from the northern frontier or even the grasslands.

In land warfare, they are practically invincible!

If we're going to have a water fight, then everyone's a landlubber!

How can someone who can't swim compare to them in a place like the Yangtze River?

With this thought in mind, Pei Wugou felt more at ease, and her belief in revenge became even stronger.

They worked even harder on patrol duties.

Suddenly, a commotion arose.

He frowned slightly and said, "Is military discipline so lax?"

"Setting up camp is meant to allow the soldiers to rest and recuperate so they can continue their journey tomorrow. What kind of decorum is this, making such a racket in the camp?"

"Go and take a look."

The lieutenant quickly went to check and returned shortly after, reporting, "My lord, it's just that one of the newly recruited menial soldiers has a somewhat effeminate appearance, and everyone's teasing him about it. It's nothing serious."

Upon hearing this, Pei Wugou was displeased.

"What's wrong with having a feminine face?"

"Even this gets made fun of?"

"Hmph, how dare you trample on the dignity of others in my military camp?"

"Let's go, I want to see who dares to be so insolent in my camp."

He strode forward, getting closer and closer to the source of the sound.

Before long, the source of the commotion became clear.

It's not a big problem.

It was just a group of soldiers who had nothing to do before the war, gathered in a circle and talked excitedly. Perhaps they got a little carried away and their voices became a little impulsive.

Given this situation, Pei Wugou decided not to pursue the matter further.

Although he had not been to a military camp for five years, he was still familiar with the situation inside.

It's not a problem for soldiers to chat and joke around.

Just as he was about to lead his men to patrol the area, the crowd suddenly grew even louder.

"Oh, my dear husband, you're back from the toilet?"

"That's so strange. Everyone else uses the restroom in front of others, but you're different. You always have to go somewhere else. Why is that? It's so hard to guess."

"Haha, young man, are you perhaps a woman?"

"Hey, everyone, don't talk nonsense. This guy is clearly just like us, a young man. What woman? Don't be ridiculous... Um, young man, which camp are you sleeping in tonight? How about I sleep with you? We can stay together and keep warm."

"Yes, I can vouch for it, this is a young master. And tonight I have to sleep with this young master; we have to share a bed."

"No, we should be sleeping in a shared dormitory!"

……

These words reached Pei Wugou's ears, which displeased him, but he didn't say anything more.

Just as he was about to leave with the high-ranking officials, his gaze suddenly fell upon the handyman whom everyone called "Little Master".

With just one glance, Pei Wugou's body trembled violently!

Startled, he quickly focused his gaze again. Although the young man had changed into men's clothing and dressed as closely as possible to resemble a man, but...

After spending several years together, how could he not recognize her?

"Isn't this the one I've been longing for?"

"How did she get here?"

……
