Si Tu Xuan respectfully stepped forward, kneeling on both knees, and solemnly replied, "I accept the decree with gratitude, Long Live Our Emperor, Long Live, Long Live."
After receiving the imperial edict from the hands of the General, Si Tu Xuan slowly stood up. He gestured for Lin Feng to enter the tent and smiled as he said, "General, please come inside for a discussion."
Thus, Lin Feng walked alongside Si Tu Xuan, with the crowd following closely behind them into the spacious tent. Once inside, Si Tu Xuan wasted no time and immediately ordered his subordinate generals to assemble five thousand strong Cavalry.
Before long, a Xiao Wei hurried into the tent, clasping his fists in salute as he reported, "Reporting to the General and Zhengbei General, five thousand Cavalry have been gathered. Please give your orders."
Si Tu Xuan nodded slightly and turned to Lin Feng, speaking in a gentle tone, "General, I have already mobilized the troops as per the decree. However, given today's long journey, I believe everyone must be exhausted. Why not take a day to rest here and prepare thoroughly for our departure tomorrow? What do you think, General?"
Lin Feng pondered for a moment before responding, "What you say is very true, General Si Tu. That sounds excellent."
Upon hearing this, Si Tu Xuan immediately commanded, "Someone go quickly and prepare fine wine and delicacies to welcome Zhengbei General and all the Brave Soldiers."
In an instant, the camp was filled with excitement and laughter. Soon enough, the tent was laden with exquisite food and wine. As the wine jars were opened, their fragrant aroma filled the entire tent. The dishes on the table were visually appealing and delicious—roasted lamb glistening golden brown with juices, delicate pastries, and fresh vegetables arranged in various shapes.
The soldiers gathered around together, drinking heartily from large bowls and eating meat with gusto while laughter rang out joyfully. Lin Feng and Si Tu Xuan sat at their places with full cups of fine wine before them.
Si Tu Xuan raised his cup and smiled at Lin Feng, saying, "General Lin, this expedition carries great responsibility. May we achieve victory right from the start." With that, he downed his drink in one go. Lin Feng also raised his cup in salute and finished his drink.
After three rounds of drinks, Lin Feng set down his cup and clasped his hands toward Si Tu Xuan as he asked, "General Si Tu, although I have been appointed as Zhengbei General, I know little about the terrain and military situation of Jing Kingdom. Now that we are about to march into battle, do you have any brilliant strategies or established plans that I could learn from?"
Upon hearing this, a confident smile appeared on Si Tu Xuan's face as he gestured for Lin Feng to look behind him. There hung a map marked with all the important passes and cities.
Si Tu Xuan picked up a stick and pointed at the map while slowly explaining: "General Lin, please take a look. The terrain of Jing Kingdom is vast and expansive with many grasslands and deserts. Its capital is located centrally with numerous tribes scattered around it."
He paused for a moment before continuing: "According to our scouts' reports, Jing Kingdom's army excels in cavalry archery and has great mobility. However, they are not united; there are often disputes among the various tribes."
Lin Feng's gaze closely followed the direction pointed out by Si Tu Xuan, listening intently.
"Therefore, we can first win over a few Small Tribes, offering them substantial rewards to make them work for us," Si Tu Xuan said, a glint of cunning flashing in his eyes.
"This plan is quite clever," Lin Feng acknowledged, "but those tribes are notoriously fickle. How can we ensure they won't turn against us at a critical moment?"
Si Tu Xuan smiled slightly. "Rest assured, General. We only need to leave behind a portion of our forces to monitor them and hold some important figures from their tribes as leverage."
After hearing this, Lin Feng nodded lightly in agreement.
Before their departure, Lin Zhen had mentioned that his goal with this military campaign was simply to create chaos behind Jing Kingdom.
