The Red Chamber: Daiyu's eldest sister is not easy to be

Chapter 233 First Encounter
He immediately shouted, “Who are you calling a fool?

No matter what I am, I have fought on the battlefield, and my body is stained with the blood of the enemy. How can a woman like you who has never been on the battlefield humiliate me? You should apologize to me immediately, or I will make you pay."

Jiusi ignored his shouting, put away the imperial edict, and sneered, "Oh, you believe everything others say, what else can you be but a fool?
Let’s not talk about how those rumors came about. Just the fact that the emperor sent me here should make you understand my importance. If I didn’t have some abilities, do you think the emperor would send a woman like me here?
Moreover, the military camp is such an important place. You did not stop this kind of rumor or find out where it came from to see if it was deliberately spread by spies from the enemy country. Instead, you let it spread at will. It shows that your general is not very good."

As soon as the words fell, an old and majestic voice came from behind: "Miss Lin is indeed worthy of her reputation. Not only is her martial arts extraordinary, but her eloquence is also very clever. No wonder she is valued by the emperor."

Jiusi was not surprised to hear the voice. She had heard someone coming and even guessed the person's identity, but she just didn't want to pay attention to it.

Even when she called him "idiot" just now, she wasn't just scolding the young general, she was also scolding those who were eavesdropping.

She never had a good face towards those who wanted to intimidate her or control her.

Before she came, the emperor had already told her who would be the leader of the army, and even briefly described his style of doing things. What she remembered most was that he was very strict in managing the army.

For a person who is strict in managing the army, it is impossible for him not to know about the rumors in the army, nor is it impossible for him not to care. And for the rumors to spread to this extent, either he has other intentions or he does not want to care.

But no matter which point it was, it showed one thing: this man didn't want her to come to the border, let alone enter the military camp.

She turned around and looked at the people coming, and saw a group of dozens of people, led by an old veteran. Although his hair and beard were all white, he looked very strong and healthy. Even though he was wearing armor, his steps were exceptionally light and neat. This man was none other than the commander of this army, General Wan Daoshan.

Following behind him was an elegant man, who looked to be in his thirties. Although he was dressed like a scholar, judging from his actions, he should be quite skilled. He should be Liu Qingcai, the military advisor of this army.

Following them were four generals. One of them was a burly man with a strong build and a full beard. He was Dong Wei, who guarded the north.

A tall and thin man with a big sword on his back is Su Shihua, who is guarding the southern border.

Standing next to the two men were Zhao Jiashu, known as a Confucian general, and Shi Xianwu, famous for his bravery.

Normally these four people should not be here, but they all gathered here for the war. The emperor had no choice but to transfer these four people over.

Fortunately, arrangements had already been made in other places, so there was no need to worry about someone robbing the house.

Behind the four were their trusted guards. They looked inconspicuous, but judging from their breathing and movements, they were all skilled and capable people.

Although she looked carefully, it only took a moment, and she quickly retracted her gaze and looked at the leading General Wan: "They are just some killing skills, how can they compare to your famous master.

As for being eloquent, that's even more of a joke. I don't like to talk much, and if I do, I just speak the truth. "Seeing General Wan being confronted, the young general who was being pressed down immediately refused to do it, and struggled to get up and attack her, but unfortunately, before he could get up, Er Yue knocked him to the ground with a spear.

Seeing this, the others looked at her in surprise, and then turned their gaze to Jiusi: "Miss Lin, what do you mean? Why do you want to injure these patrolling soldiers?"

Beating General Wan's soldiers in front of these generals was no different from slapping General Wan in the face. If she didn't express her opinion, no one would say a word even if the little maid was ordered to be beaten to death.

Jiusi saw that everyone was looking at her, so she raised her eyebrows, curled her lips and smiled, saying, "This young general had a grudge against me because of some rumors. My maidservant was very protective of her master and couldn't bear to see him being rude to me, so she fought with him on my behalf. However, this young general looked down on us women and was quite dissatisfied, so it became what you see now."

What she said was very clear. It was their people who attacked her first because of the rumors. She was too disdainful to fight back, so she asked her maid to do it for her. Unfortunately, their people were not capable enough. Not only did they lose the fight, but they also refused to accept the defeat because the other party was a woman and wanted to cheat, so they deserved to be taught a lesson.

Upon hearing this, several people looked down at the young general with a blushing face, then looked up at the little maid with a cold face, and Lin Jiusi who seemed to be smiling, and they all kept silent.

Regardless of whether what she said was true or not, they could not say anything else. Otherwise, once the news got out, not only would the emperor hold them accountable, but they would also lose their lives as human beings.

Military generals are already feared for holding military power far away from the capital. If it is reported that they do not take the people sent by the emperor seriously, what is the difference between that and directly saying that I do not take the emperor seriously?
It was fine for the others to keep silent, but General Wan had to. However, he could not bring up the matter again, so he had to change the subject and ask about military supplies: "The emperor sent a letter saying that the food and fodder came with Miss Lin. I wonder where they are now?"

Jiusi certainly couldn't say that the food and grass were with her, so she could only say: "I put the food and grass in a very safe place. You can give me a place to put it later, and I will have someone deliver the things.

But before that, I hope that the generals will clean up the barracks first, so that when I send people to deliver the food and grass, they will be destroyed by those spies. If that happens, no one will be able to deliver another batch of food and grass in such a short time!"

When several people heard her say this, they knew she was hinting at the rumors, and they immediately stated that they would find out the spies as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Jiusi continued to argue with them about the matter. After signaling Eryue to release the people, he went back to the military camp with them.

The news that Jiusi was coming had already spread in the camp. Now when they saw their general leading two women over, everyone immediately guessed who the people were and looked over sideways.

Some of the brave ones even started chatting and laughing with the brothers around them. Although they spoke in low voices, everyone was not far away and naturally heard something.

General Wan's face immediately darkened. He called his deputy general and gave him a few instructions, then took Jiusi and the others to the big tent.

When they got to the account, General Wan first asked Emperor Jiusi about his plan for her, to see if she was going to be the commander-in-chief or if there were other plans.
If she comes to be the commander-in-chief, then the subsequent arrangements will be under her command. If there are other arrangements, then he can directly arrange the next strategic deployment.
