Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 338 - 336 Strategy

Not to mention the others, even Sun Heng himself was astonished.

Kneeling on the ground, Sun Heng looked at Agusi holding the scroll next to him, and for a moment, he was stunned.

At the same time, he began to internally curse this idiot.

How could this guy impulsively take out the decree of war like this?

Hadn’t they already emphasized countless times during their journey that they should discuss the benefits first before using the tactical scroll as a last-resort leverage?

Now that a formal challenge had been issued so abruptly, how were they supposed to negotiate with the other side going forward?

This guy, strong-bodied but simple-minded.

It seems I overestimated him.

Meanwhile, after the initial shock of the onlookers, a eunuch stepped forward and took the war decree from his hands.

He then strode forward and presented it to the Emperor above.

The young Emperor’s expression turned terrible upon seeing this, and he opened the war decree.

After merely glancing over it, he tossed it aside.

Meanwhile, Agusi, observing the displeased faces of the people around him, couldn’t help feeling extremely smug.

The smugness was clearly written all over his face.

In his heart, he was secretly rejoicing, thinking how arrogant they would be now, wasn’t it their intention to intimidate us?

Good, I’ve directly brought out the decree of war, let’s see if they are scared.

"Hmph, our Khan has been more than generous, giving you advanced notice. Now, you have three months, prepare to face our Iron Cavalry."

In his heart, Agusi also had his own calculations.

Although Sun Heng was currently the Strategist on his side,

Agusi didn’t like him.

Thus, he deliberately chose this course of action.

The purpose this time was straightforward: to intimidate the ministers of You Country.

If he could secure some benefits here, he might even receive the Khan’s praises upon returning!

As for whether this would allow the opponent to prepare and strategize three months in advance?

Hehe, that’s laughable.

Their current situation here is evident; even if they prepare for war for three months, what’s the fear?

Our Iron Cavalry, wherever directed, is unstoppable.

"Ha, you barbarians are truly audacious. Since that’s the case, just bring it on.

No use talking further, men, throw them out."

Including Sun Heng, the three of them had not expected the young Emperor to be so assertive.

After they had delivered the war decree, not only was there no sign of fear from the opponent, but he was also so boldly ordering them to leave, which greatly surprised Agusi.

Initially, in his mind, he thought the young Emperor would desperately beg him after seeing the war decree.

Presumably, he would then want to negotiate various terms, perhaps cede a city, give countless treasures as a way to reduce their side’s attack.

But what does this mean?

Directly ordering someone to throw them out?

Could it be that he is accepting the challenge?

Where did he get the courage from, with just the few men he has now?

Furthermore, yesterday the Sixth Prince had already informed me that the young Emperor currently commands fewer than 50,000 soldiers.

Could it be that he really believes the other Vassal Kings would join the fray?

"Emperor, you must consider carefully. If you expel us, it would mean you accept the challenge of battle, and you will face the assault of my tribe’s Iron Cavalry."

At this moment, Sun Heng could no longer restrain himself, seeing his group about to be expelled, he could only step forward and speak.

Though he spoke thus, in his heart he cursed Agusi thoroughly from start to finish; truly a pig-like teammate.

Not to mention he had other plans, but just on the matter of attacking alone, it should not have been revealed so soon.

His side’s objective was also very clear: to confound the opposition and to buy time.

After securing the opposition in three months, his Iron Cavalry would nearly be ready; that was their ultimate goal.

But now, the opponent knew about the planned attack three months in advance.

Once the opposition became prepared, it would be a very problematic affair.

Take, for example, Capital City; if its walls were strengthened, then the attack would become exceedingly difficult.

It might cost many soldiers’ lives.

This fool, once returned, would have to report to the Khan and surely lodge a complaint against him.

When he had finished speaking, before the young Emperor could respond, General Mu beside him bowed to the young Emperor above and said:

"Your Majesty, since the enemy is resolved to battle, and we cannot influence this, why not advance the battle to now instead of waiting three months?

I am willing to lead troops to Yumen Pass and leave no enemy unscathed."

Hearing this, Lin Yi inwardly sighed.

The General’s enthusiasm was commendable but now was not the best time to wage war.

Not to mention that the current court situation was unstable, just the fact that our military resources were limited.

Even if the General truly reached Yumen Pass, perhaps the Eighth Prince would act in defiance.

The best approach now was to delay.

Delaying the conflict for three months, during this time, we should recruit as much as possible and build up our new army.

Only by doing that could we become stronger.

As for the military strength of the other Vassal Kings?

Once we have a sufficient source of troops to confront them, we could gradually reclaim control.

Of course, if we could buy some respite, even delaying for a year or half, then these tribesmen would pose no threat.

While he was thinking this, Sun Heng’s voice rang out again.

"Emperor, after all, I too am a Han, and thus I do not wish to see the Han slaughtered by our Khan. In truth, this matter need not reach the point of hostilities."

"Pah! What kind of Han are you; you are just a dog of the tribes!"

Before Sun Heng could finish, General Mu spat in contempt.

Yet the young Emperor gestured with his hand:

"Hehe, General, no need for anger, let him finish his speech. I wish to hear what else he has to say."

Seeing that the young Emperor had spoken, General Mu, though unwilling and snorting with displeasure, returned to his position.

Seeing this, Sun Heng then addressed the young Emperor with a bow:

"Your Majesty is wise. In that case, let me clarify my words."
