The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapters 290. The War Strategy of the Zhao Empire
"Well look! That's His Highness the Crown Prince!" Exclaimed someone who made everyone's discussion stop. At this moment, everyone's attention was directed in one direction. The main gate of the palace was opened and Pei Zhang Xi was in the front row. He led the army personally.
In an instant, all eyes were on the main street of the capital where Pei Zhang Xi was leading his army to go to war protecting the sovereignty of the Shao Empire on the border.
Pei Zhang Xi looked gallant with his black war clothes made from hard metal materials. His long black hair was neatly tied up using black jade with a cloud tiger motif. Sitting on horseback, he led the troops with great valor.
Several generals were behind Pei Zhang Xi. Later, after passing through the gates of the capital, these generals would break away by leading their troops to spread out in all directions. There should be no gaps found all over the place that the enemy will use to attack.
Seeing how charismatic Pei Zhang Xi was, everyone immediately shouted with a smoldering spirit.
"Life the Shao Empire!"
"Live on!"
"Long live His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Live on!"
Hearing the cries of these people, everyone's spirit was like being pumped back. They seem to be born to face an enemy like this.
But the fanfare that occurred in the capital was inversely proportional to the conditions in the palace harem. Although on an ordinary day these concubines would not be much affected by the state of government because as long as they obtained the Emperor's affection, at least their lives would be fine within the palace.
But regarding the war this time with the Zhao Empire, they knew if the enemy force was large enough and it might be difficult to deal with. Moreover, a war with the Zhao Empire was unlike ever with any other Empire that would determine in advance the place and rules of the course of the war as the Zhao Empire arrogantly challenged the Shao Empire at its doorstep.
The security system in the Shao Empire was laid out in such a way starting from the border. Although there were no restrictive fences, there were several military posts in the four directions. And there will also be patrol troops guarding around the border, imperial soldiers will go to the surrounding villages to make the citizens in the villages far from the capital have the feeling that they are being noticed. It also aims to make villagers feel safe and will at least report if there is someone suspicious entering their village.
In addition, every city in the area also has strict security. Everyone who was going to head for the capital first had to pass an examination in these county towns. But there are still some parts that are forests. So there is still a possibility if the enemy will attack the capital when the main forces go to the border.
This is what makes the concubines worried. It could be at any time the enemy forces can attack up inside the palace. Therefore, these concubines forbade their sons to go to the battlefield for various reasons. At this moment, every concubine felt uneasy in their hearts. They're afraid of being happy. Afraid if the war got out of hand and threatened safety, and happy because if Pei Zhang Xi and the other princes who participated in the war died, their son would have a chance.
Well.... How else. In the minds of these concubines, there was nothing more important in the world than status and power. They entered the palace and became concubines in order to gain a position. Although they had to fight one another just for the sake of fighting over the affections of an Emperor, they were willing to do so.
But of course not all concubines have such petty nature and narrow thinking. Of course there were still some good women who were still able to maintain their original virtuous nature despite having stayed quite a long time in the palace. So rather than busy guessing the future, these concubines would rather sit in their yard and spend time praying. Praying for their son who went to war, praying for the peace they had previously felt at ease, they would soon be able to return. Living quietly is everyone's wish.
However Lu Jing Yu was not a woman of any of those types. When Pei Zhang Xi went to war, he was not busy planning for his future until Pei Zhang Xi did not return or kept silent and prayed for Pei Zhang Xi's safety. It was not that Lu Jing Yu did not want to pray for Pei Zhang Xi's safety, Lu Jing Yu always prayed for Pei Zhang Xi from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Jing Yu had long realized that even though he had managed to avoid several plots of events that would harm and threaten his life, but the storyline in the novel still went according to the great ones that exist. Regarding the war this time, Lu Jing Yu also had a little bit of knowledge of what would happen in the war and what the end of the war would be like.
Unlike the war at the border the last time in the novel is the result that Pei Zhang Xi was seriously injured and almost took his life, as well as himself who will be dragged into trouble, in this war, this time, Pei Zhang Xi will be fine as the war on the border is just a trick of the enemy to outwit the main army. Their target was actually the capital, a place where the palace stood firmly. After all, no matter what happened at the border, if the enemy forces managed to occupy the capital as well as the palace, they would be declared the victor.
However, even though Lu Jing Yu knew of this war strategy of the Zhao Empire, she could not tell Pei Zhang Xi because Pei Zhang Xi's role at the border was also very large. If at this time Pei Zhang Xi was not at the border and was playing an active role in the war, there will be people who will take advantage of this opportunity to spread rumors if Pei Zhang Xi is a coward. Of course Lu Jing Yu would not let this happen.
And the most important thing was that later, with the enemies attacking the capital and the palace, the real faces of everyone would be visible. Inside the imperial palace especially inside the Harem, people always went around using fake masks to hide their real faces. So what is seen on the surface is that everyone has genuine intentions and a clear conscience. Precisely with this war, who is sincere and who is fake will be seen very easily.
As for facing the enemy that was about to invade the capital, Lu Jing Yu had his own plans....
