The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

Chapter 108 Internal strife

Yun Zhi slowly opened the letter in her hand, and the contents inside instantly jumped into her eyes.

It clearly stated the minor conflict between General Wu and General Liu who came to the rescue.

After reading it, Yun Zhi folded it up and lit it under a candle. The flames instantly devoured the letter and turned it into ashes.

She didn't intend to send anyone to escalate the relationship between the two of them at this moment.

The best time is when they have been together for a longer time and are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with each other.

In the blink of an eye, nearly three months have passed.

By winning most of the time and occasionally losing a city by deliberately letting the opponent win, they have already captured more than one city of the opponent.

Now they are almost approaching their original territory - Shangyao County.

now.

At the enemy's celebration banquet.

General Liu picked up the turbid wine on the table, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, with an extremely happy smile on his face, looking like a villain who had succeeded.

"Hahaha, General Wu, didn't you say earlier that my method wouldn't work? And how did you get this celebratory banquet you're enjoying now?"

"It was just a fluke."

Wu Zhong tightly gripped the wine glass in his hand. If it weren't for the overall situation, he would have wanted to have a good fight with the other party.

He is really challenging his bottom line all the time.

"Lucky? General Wu, just tell me yourself. You've fought over a dozen battles so far, and you've won several using your tactics."

Speaking of this, Wu Zhong was full of confusion, because it was obvious that his tactics were much better than his reckless approach.

But we just happened to lose most of the battles.

General Liu naturally would not miss this opportunity and continued to sneer, "I think some people are just good at talking big."

Wu Zhong stood up suddenly, glaring at General Liu, but unable to refute.

Looking at the man who stood up angrily, General Liu showed a sarcastic smile on his face.

"What? Did I say something wrong? General Wu, you are no longer as capable as before. If you really can't do it, please resign from the Marquis and give your position to someone more capable."

"General Wu, it would be more appropriate to call you General Changbai."

Seeing that they were about to fight again, General Cao hurriedly called several soldiers to separate them.

"The two generals are drunk. Send them back to rest."

After the two left, only General Cao and General He were left.

General He looked at General Cao and said, "I feel something is wrong. Although we have won and lost, our territory has been greatly reduced overall."

General Cao took a sip from the wine glass on the table. "There's nothing we can do. They've invested a lot of money, official positions, and land. They're also recruiting people in every city. It's really hard to deal with them."

"Well, that's right. The rewards they offer are really generous. Why don't we also ask the Marquis for advice?"

"The Marquis will probably not agree. Besides, if we divide the land among those soldiers, we will get too little. For those useless people, giving them some silver will be enough."

"Too."

General Cao finished the last bit of wine in his cup and said, "Let's go to bed too. Don't drink too much. We still need to think about how to recapture those cities tomorrow."

"Row."

the other side.

"Has it been spread?"

Chen Yuanshu nodded and said, "After they won the battle today, they let those people start spreading the news."

"Ah."

"My lord?"

Yun Zhi raised her head and looked at the person who was about to speak but hesitated, "What's wrong?"

"Why doesn't Marquis Anding treat the soldiers who risked their lives for him kindly?"

This time, the people responsible for spreading the news and provoking discord between the two generals were all bribed enemy personnel.

It's so easy to buy off.

"These are the unspoken rules that have been accepted for a long time. The biggest chunks go to those with higher positions, and soldiers might get nothing. It's so difficult to get ahead in the military."

"Not only must they be brave and resourceful, but they must also have a superior who will not take credit for their achievements. Too many of their soldiers are ordinary people with no real background serving in the military. They farm and herd as civilians in peacetime, and go to war as soldiers in times of war."

Chen Yuanshu let out a "hmm" sound through his nose.

"Okay, now everything goes well, it depends on tomorrow's results."

Day two.

Wu Zhong rubbed his aching head, and his face turned gloomy when he thought of what happened last night.

"Reckless man."

When you get dressed and get ready to go out.

"boom"

The door was knocked open.

"Wu Zhong, you are such a mean person. You resorted to such dirty tactics just because I won the battle."

Looking at the door that was still swinging back and forth, Wu Zhong took a few deep breaths to suppress the anger in his heart.

But the anger had been pent up for a long time, and his head was aching again, and at this moment his anger completely erupted.

"Liu Guangzhi, how long are you going to make trouble? Do you really think I am easy to bully and a defeated general?"

The general was defeated.

These words kept echoing in Liu Guangzhi's mind.

He instantly became furious and didn't care about anything else. He rushed forward and started fighting.

When Cao and He heard the noise and rushed over, the room was already in a mess.

General Cao looked at General He who had come with him and said, "Pull them apart first."

A quarter of an hour later, Wu and Liu were separated, but their eyes were still fixed on each other.

General Cao took a breath and said, "What's going on between you two? You're fighting! What will it look like if the people down there see this?"

Wu Zhong rubbed his sore arm and said, "Hasn't I been tolerant enough? Now he dares to kick the door. He's almost riding on my head and running wild."

Hearing this, General Cao looked at Liu Guangzhi, frowning, "What's going on?"

"What's going on? Wu Zhong just can't stand seeing me win a battle and is jealous of me. Now he's resorting to despicable tactics and spreading rumors in the city, saying that I'm only interested in stealing the credit and don't care about the lives of my soldiers."

Thinking of the discussions he heard when he woke up this morning, Liu Guangzhi's eyes widened.

"Now everyone in the city is in a panic, afraid that I will send them to their deaths."

Wu Zhong straightened his clothes and said, "It's not me."

Liu Guangzhi snorted coldly, "If it's not you, then who else could it be? Maybe you spread it on purpose so that you can control the situation."

"Do you have a brain? How could I possibly do such a thing? The innocent will be innocent."

"You know whether you have done it or not."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, General He walked over and patted Liu Guangzhi on the shoulder, "Don't jump to conclusions too quickly. It might be a conspiracy of the enemy. Let's find out who spread it first."

Yun Zhi, on the other hand, was closely watching the developments in the city.

"My lord, they are in chaos."

Yun Zhi tapped the table lightly, a faint smile on her lips. "Very good, to add fuel to the fire, we can say that General Wu has been losing all his battles and that he has surrendered because of deliberate defeat."

"Yes."

For a time, the atmosphere in the city became increasingly tense, and the conflict between Wu and Liu became increasingly serious, and they often fought while discussing tactics.

At this moment, Yun Zhi saw the opportunity and ordered an attack on the city...
