"Guo Huai, are you out of your mind?" Chu Ze glanced at him coldly: "I don't need to send troops, I need a plan to make them fall into my trap!"

Guo Huai immediately lowered his head and remained silent, respectfully waiting for Chu Ze's instructions.

"Listen, this time the enemy is just trying to test us. We will make them think that Tianhaiguan is lax in its defense and deliberately expose a flaw.

You take 500 cavalrymen and hide in the valley ten miles away from the southern line. Once they come in, kill them immediately without sparing a single one!" Chu Ze spoke crisply and without any hesitation.

Guo Huai suddenly raised his head, his face showing surprise: "Your Majesty, are you saying that you want to let them in on purpose?"

"Nonsense, if I don't do this, how can they come to my door obediently?" Chu Ze sneered and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do.

"These barbarians, if they come in, they won't be able to leave alive!"

Guo Huai nodded quickly: "I understand. I will arrange it right away!"

Chu Ze waved his hand: "Go ahead, remember, be clean and leave no traces!"

Guo Huai bowed, turned around and strode away.

Chu Ze stood at the door of the tent, raised his head slightly, glanced at the clouds in the sky, turned to Lu Bing and said, "Lu Bing, don't let them succeed so easily.

I want them to toss around for a few more days, don’t let this drama end too soon!"

Lu Bing was stunned, then he clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will keep a close eye on their movements. If there is anything unusual, report it immediately!"

Chu Ze nodded and said, "Don't be too nervous. I don't think these barbarians have any new tricks.

However, if you discover more enemy activity, don't wait, attack immediately!"

Lu Bing clasped his fists and said, "Understood, Your Majesty!"

Chu Ze hesitated for a moment and said, "I will inspect the camp today to see for myself how these new soldiers are doing!"

Lu Bing said quickly: "I will accompany your majesty on the inspection!"

Chu Ze waved his hand and said, "No need. I'll walk around a bit and see how brave these soldiers are!" After that, he strode out of the tent and headed towards the playground.

On the playground, a group of soldiers were training, with shouts of killing coming one after another, and a hint of fortitude revealed on their sweaty faces.

Chu Ze put his hands behind his back and glanced at every soldier.

A young recruit saw Chu Ze passing by and immediately stood up straight with a nervous look.

Chu Ze stopped, glanced at the soldier, and asked, "What's your name?"

The soldier immediately saluted and said, "Your Majesty, my name is Liu Daniu!"

"Liu Daniu?" Chu Ze laughed: "Your name is quite realistic!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for making fun of you. Everyone in my family calls you that and I haven't changed it!" Liu Daniu grinned, looking a little nervous.

"Liu Daniu, how many days have you been in Tianhai Pass?" Chu Ze asked indifferently.

"Your Majesty, I have been here for half a month!" Liu Daniu straightened his back immediately, his voice trembling a little, but he still answered with gritted teeth.

Chu Ze looked him up and down and nodded: "It seems that you are doing well in training, but courage alone is not enough on the battlefield, do you understand?"

A few drops of cold sweat oozed from Liu Daniu's forehead, and he nodded quickly: "I understand! Your Majesty is right!"

“Okay, practice well and don’t take it lightly.

You have to remember that the enemy will never give you a second chance! " Chu Ze said, turned around and continued to move forward.

Liu Daniu immediately stood up straighter, feeling nervous and excited, and couldn't help but take a deep breath. Chu Ze walked and observed the surroundings. When the soldiers on the playground saw the emperor's inspection, their morale became higher and their shouts shook the sky.

Chu Ze slowed down his pace slightly, listened to the soldiers' shouts and screams, nodded, and continued walking forward with satisfaction.

Not far away, another group of soldiers were practicing formations. Guo Huai was already waiting there. When he saw Chu Ze coming, he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, I am practicing the latest formation of the Ming Iron Cavalry. Is Your Majesty interested in watching?"

"Formation?" Chu Ze's eyes flashed: "Okay, I want to see how well you have practiced this formation!" He put his hands behind his back and slowly walked to the front of the formation.

Guo Huai waved his hand and the soldiers immediately formed their battle formations according to his orders. In a blink of an eye, spears and shields were arranged in an interlaced manner, and the cavalry also quickly assembled. The formations changed so quickly that it was dazzling.

Chu Ze looked at it for a while, and suddenly said: "No, although this formation is fast, it will inevitably break if the enemy attacks forcefully.

Guo Huai, the formation should not only be fast, but also stable!"

Guo Huai nodded immediately: "Your Majesty is right. I will go back and revise it right away!"

Chu Ze waved his hand: "No hurry, lead these soldiers to complete the drill first, and then make adjustments after I have watched it!"

Guo Huai quickly ordered the soldiers to continue the drill. The formation kept changing under his command. Chu Ze watched for a while and suddenly said, "There is a loophole in this position. If the enemy cavalry attacks from here, I'm afraid we can't defend against it!"

Guo Huai quickly ordered the soldiers to adjust and correct the formation: "Your Majesty has a keen eye, and I will definitely make improvements according to your words!"

Chu Ze nodded slightly: "Okay, you guys can practice the formation slowly.

I will check out other places!"

Guo Huai immediately bowed: "I obey your command!"

Chu Ze turned around and continued his patrol. On the other side of the playground, Lu Bing was already arranging training for other soldiers.

Chu Ze walked up to Lu Bing and asked casually, "Have these soldiers made any progress?"

Lu Bing bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the soldiers' physical fitness and skills have improved significantly. However, I think they need a few more actual combat drills before they can truly master the essentials of combat!"

"You're right!" Chu Ze nodded: "Actual combat is the best training, but now that the war has not yet arrived, let them lay a solid foundation first!"

Lu Bing nodded immediately: "Your Majesty is wise. I will intensify the training to ensure that the soldiers will not fail on the battlefield!"

Chu Ze pondered for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, we will practice again and let me see if they have improved!"

Lu Bing cupped his hands and said, "I understand. I will definitely satisfy Your Majesty tomorrow!"

Chu Ze looked around and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, go ahead and keep an eye on today's training!"

Lu Bing bowed and stepped back, continuing to supervise the soldiers' training.

Chu Ze stood at the edge of the playground, his eyes calm, and continued walking forward.

Chu Ze took a look around and walked to the front of the tent, where he saw Guo Huai leading a team of cavalry and preparing to set off.

He walked closer and asked calmly, "Are you ready?"

Guo Huai immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have brought 500 elite soldiers with me, and we are ready to set off at any time!"

Chu Ze nodded: "Remember, move quickly and don't give those barbarians a chance to escape.

We must eradicate the roots and leave no one alive!"

Guo Huai clasped his fists and said, "I understand! Your Majesty, please rest assured!"

"Also, don't make it too obvious. Let them think it's just an ordinary patrol. Don't alert them!" Chu Ze said in a steady tone, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. (End of this chapter)
