Flowers Bloom from Battlefield-Chapter 309: Preparation for Big Battle
309 Preparation for Big Battle
After talking with Ye Lei, Soujin walked to the room next door where Xuan Pei was held. Xuan Pei was not only Ye Lei people, but he was also the emperor spy. Because of that, he knew more than Ye Lei in some field. However, he would not let the information leak out.
Aside from that, Soujin also found out that Ye Lei disposed the secret organization that Lan Gao Ya previously held. It seemed he was already prepared for losing this battle. Indeed, logically speaking, he was truly not a match against them.
Xuan Pei looked towards Soujin coldly, but he never opened his mouth. Ever since he was captured, he didn't let any information leaked out from his mouth and kept all of them inside him. Seeing that he didn't give any information, Soujin chose to end that spy's life.
Cleaning up everything, he met with the others in front of the tent. They were sitting together waiting for him patiently. He told them what he got from Ye Lei and the event that happened with Xuan Pei.
Jun Hua sighed. When she first met with Xuan Pei, he was only an ordinary excellent teacher at the academy. However, his loyalty lay in his country.
"A loyal person until the end, but he serves someone wrong."
The one whom he served would not even remember him. He was only used to gather information and did his job in another country. But, that was his decision and no one forced him to do it.
Ming Hui had to agree with Jun Hua's words. Xuan Pei was loyal to the emperor even though he sent the former to the battlefield in order to die. The emperor had long wanted to get rid of his excellent nephew to allow his useless son got the throne. However, his plan would be ruined if the Pan Kingdom lost to Soujin.
"By the way, Yan, you take too long," Soujin looked towards Yan, "It should have been finished in five days, not one week."
Having Soujin pointed that out again, Yan felt like banging his head to the wall. Unfortunately, there was no wall over here, only some trees and he was sure that his head was harder than the woods. Besides, Shu would stop him before he could achieve what he wanted.
"He picks the wrong way," Jun Hua interjected, "Didn't you tell him the way?"
"I did."
Yan remembered the way that Soujin pointed out to him… it seemed he got lost a bit.
"Forget it, at least the result are good," Ming Hui said, "If we continue our march to the Pan Kingdom, Prince Ye Jiu will come after you."
"It doesn't matter," Soujin answered, "To unite the five big kingdoms, we need to face him sooner or later. Let's prepare ourselves."
After saying that, Soujin turned around and walked towards the other commanders to arrange the formation for their next advance. Seeing the confident back of Soujin, Yan was suspicious whether Soujin was feeling nervous or not.
"Is he really that confident?" Yan asked suspiciously. The power of Ye Jiu was not one that they could contend in normal ways. If anything, he should be said as the most powerful living general in this world aside from Soujin, so he didn't understand where did Soujin's confidence come from?
Jun Hua watched Soujin back as her lips curled into a wry smile. She stood up from her place and said some words without looking back. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶
"It's the general duty to maintain the morale of his soldiers. If the general is nervous and unconfident, do you think the soldiers will be able to do their best? Even if they know that the fight is hopeless, as long as their leader is still at the front and fights with his all, they would advance forward."
Jun Hua was also a general, but before that, she was a soldier. She still remembered the back of her uncle and his teaching to her. No matter how hopeless the situation was, she couldn't show her weak side to the soldiers and led them to the victory.
She remembered how Jun Qing's confident back made her felt like they could win every battle. No matter how hard it was or whether they were at disadvantages, she believed that her uncle can turn the situation around.
The same applied to her soldiers. When they saw her standing at the frontline and fought with her all. They would advance forwards with the confidence that they could win. Even if they had to suffer a lot of hardship, they were willing to support their leader.
After saying that, Jun Hua walked to Soujin side and helped him with the arrangement. Yan and Ming Hui stayed on their places.
Yan sighed, "Why do I have the feeling that she is not the useless girl from the capital?"
When Jun Hua said those words, he could sense a faint suppression on her tone. Besides, the atmosphere changed for a moment when she spoke. As he was already trained in martial arts, he knew those tiny changes better than ordinary people. It was rather faint, but he was not that idiot too.
Ming Hui nodded, that one moment was the image of Jun Min from the battlefield, the leader of thousands of soldiers and their beloved general. She was someone who has already spent years of her life fighting on the frontline, thus making her not an ordinary girl.
"What she said makes sense. It's the same as when you're trying to lead your people," Ming Hui grinned.
Yan wore a sour face. What leading? He could barely manage the court as he was because of his bad image. Besides, it was not like he needed to do anything in the court until he was chosen as the emperor by these people.
"You haven't understood the importance of a leader, brother," Ming Hui shook his head. ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦
"I do, a leader is indeed really important," Yan retorted.
Ming Hui shook his head. Going by how Yan still using that tone to talk to him and his easygoing attitude, he knew that Yan hadn't realized it yet.
"You will see soon enough, soldiers without a good leader will lose even to a weak group," Ming Hui said.
Yan was sure that it was the case. After all, Soujin had forced him to become a leader a few times in the past and arranged the soldiers. The result was not pretty as he made a lot of mistake and made them lost even quicker.
Because of that painful experience, he was confident that he understood the meaning of a leader better than Ming Hui.
