Chapter 362
Mr. Zeng turned his dark eyes and looked at his own general and said, "This shows that they don't need it, or they don't care, and their own strength is strong enough."
"I can't see that he is strong. He is far inferior to us." Young General Yu said proudly.
"Strength is accumulated slowly. No one is born strong." Mr. Zeng said to him as he looked at him unconvinced.
"I don't know if he has time to increase his strength." Young General Yu said meaningfully. Before he could increase his strength, he was killed.
Mr. Zeng smiled and nodded when he heard this, "Yes! These forces should pay special attention to him, he is very good at winning people's hearts."
"He seems to be very honest." General Yu looked at him with bright eyes and said, "The king really wants to recruit him!"
"Indeed! They actually conferred him a marquisate." Mr. Zeng said sarcastically, "How generous! The first marquisate in so many years!" After thinking carefully, he said, "Judging from their quality in commanding troops, everyone would want to recruit them."
"Look at what you said, are they that good?" Young General Yu said sourly.
"After all, who doesn't like subordinates who are both good at fighting and obedient?" Mr. Zeng stared at him with his dark eyes.
"The time is too short and we still can't see anything." Young General Yu said after pondering for a moment.
"A journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength; time reveals a person's true character." Mr. Zeng nodded slightly when he heard this.
"If we fight against the government troops alone, what chances do we have of winning?" Young General Yu looked at him seriously and said.
"If we plan properly, we won't have to worry about the government troops." Mr. Zeng looked at him with confidence in his eyes.
"Then don't worry about what the alliance of princes discuss. We should be prepared to attack the government troops alone." Major General Yu looked at him soberly and said.
"Yeah!" Mr. Zeng nodded slightly when he heard that.
Major General Yu said with determination, "The government troops' battle line is too long, and it will be inconvenient to supply them with food and grass. We can harass them from behind."
"It's very dangerous to fight alone. The government troops will definitely heavily guard and escort the food and fodder. If we are not careful, we will be attacked from both sides and be trapped." Mr. Zeng said with a frown.
"Dividing the troops is risky." General Yu clenched his fist and looked at him and said, "I still prefer to hit him with one fist."
"Hit with all your strength!" Mr. Zeng looked at him with his deep black eyes and said, "Be careful that the king will let us divide our forces."
"He knows nothing." Young General Yu said bluntly.
"You have to be mentally prepared for this," Mr. Zeng said seriously.
"If I don't divide the troops, what can he do to me?" General Yu said bluntly, "When a general is away from home, he is not subject to military orders."
"This is after the army sets out, and we will have the final say on everything." Mr. Zeng nodded slightly when he heard this.
"I'm a little worried. What if the general above us makes trouble?" Mr. Zeng said with a headache, "We are really restricted in our hands and feet."
"This is easy. If he listens to me, I will respectfully call him General. If he doesn't, I will just kill him." Major General Yu said with cold eyes.
Mr. Zeng's face was filled with black lines when he heard this, "You can't be so direct!"
"There are all kinds of accidents on the battlefield. How about I let him be brave?" Major General Yu said as he looked at him with frost in his eyes.
"Killing someone with a borrowed knife?" Mr. Zeng said, twirling his beard.
"That's right!" General Yu snorted, "It depends on what he chooses." He stared at him and said, "You can't stop me this time."
"Okay!" Mr. Zeng agreed readily.
General Yu's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at him in disbelief and said, "Sir, you actually agree."
"Why can't we agree to this? We must have the military power in our own hands." Mr. Zeng looked at him with a slightly cold look in his eyes and said, "The war is imminent. We must eliminate these guys who are clearly holding us back, otherwise they will cause greater harm."
"Great." General Yu clasped his fists and said, "I want to kill the king and destroy him completely."
"I'm afraid that won't work." Mr. Zeng shook his head decisively and refused, "Everyone in the world knows about the king's existence. If he dies rashly, it will be very troublesome."
"If I had known earlier, I would not have looked for the king. I would have used our own name and would not have had this trouble." General Yu patted his thigh and said, "I am really asking for trouble. Mr. Huang does not have this trouble."
"The number of people who have surrendered to him is not that large! There are only 6,000 men and horses." Mr. Zeng reminded him, "How many people are there in our Yu Family Army now?"
General Yu hesitated for a moment, then said unwillingly, "It can rival the government troops, with 400,000 men."
"Everything has its pros and cons. Nothing can stop us, the elderly, from being surrounded by death at any time," said Mr. Zeng calmly.
"Hehe..." General Yu rubbed his hands happily and said, "I have wanted to kill that beggar for a long time. Damn, ungrateful thing, who will pull him out of the doghouse. He really thinks he is the king of the world after wearing brocade clothes!"
"But I still hope that he would be sensible and abdicate the throne to you. This will reduce your troubles." Mr. Zeng said calmly, "But once a person has tasted power, it may be difficult to give it up." But his eyes were full of murderous intent.
"I thought Mr. Zeng was the same as my father! We respect him as the king." Major General Yu let out a sigh of relief.
"How is that possible? It was just a temporary measure at the time." Mr. Zeng looked at him with deep and unfathomable eyes and said, "Who knew that the general was gone and he was so eager to get the military power."
"Yeah!" General Yu nodded vigorously, "I can't wait any longer."
"So, there is no need to endure it any longer." Mr. Zeng snorted, "You are simply courting death. People should not covet things that do not belong to them."
"That's right, that's right!" Young General Yu nodded repeatedly.
"Let's see! See how this alliance of princes will unfold." Mr. Zeng looked at him with his dark eyes.

On the third day after General Yu was buried, the king summoned all the princes to the palace.
Shen Hui'e looked around the palace. The palace was really small and was solemn and dignified.
Since it was an alliance of princes to discuss the plan of attacking the imperial court, the king did not say any polite words and went straight to the point.
"The imperial court is tyrannical and unjust, and the people are in dire straits! I cannot bear to see the people displaced, so I have gathered an army of volunteers to fight against the imperial court together." The king said in a sonorous and powerful voice, "All my allies must work together to overthrow the imperial court. Anyone who violates this alliance will be punished by heaven and earth." He raised his hands, looked up at the ceiling and said, "Heaven and earth, and the spirits of our ancestors, please bear witness to this!" He clasped his hands together.
The princes in the hall shouted in unison, "All of us allies, work together..."
