The first battle of the Southern Expedition was the scout battle that Shenwuwei was most familiar with.

Knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy is victorious in all battles, Yang Yuan will not hold the scout camp accountable for going to war without authorization.

Only the scout battalion has this privilege.

Of course, the scout battalion was worthy of Yang Yuan's trust in them and the privileges he gave them.

Every time the combat scout battalion has completed the combat mission very successfully.

It can even be overfulfilled.

They are always one step ahead of enemies and other allies.

The same goes for the Southern Expedition this time.

Shenwuwei is still resting in Dongting County, and the five hundred scouts of the scout battalion have entered the range of Nanhu County in Shunguo.

The commander-in-chief of Nanhu County's 100,000 Shun Army has discovered changes in Dongting County on the other side.

"General, Qianguo has added tens of thousands of troops in Dongting County, and it seems that they are going to attack me in Nanhu County."

The commander-in-chief of the Shun Army is named Hong Tao, and he is one of the few remaining famous generals in the Shun Kingdom.

In the battle in the north, Shun Kingdom was completely defeated, and several famous generals were defeated without showing their due abilities.

They either died in battle directly, or chose to commit suicide unwilling to be humiliated. In short, the generals of the Shun Kingdom suffered a lot.

At this time, King Shun could only let go of his previous filth, use all the famous generals in the country, and quickly promoted some young generals.

Thanks to Shun Guo's continuous fighting these years, there is no gap in the succession of generals.

Lost some famous players,

King Shun didn't expect them to defeat Qian Guo, just stop them.

Now the offensive and defensive trends of the Qian and Shun countries have changed. The Shun country only wants to block the invasion of the Qian country, and does not want to counterattack the north in a short time.

"Leave it to the next King Shun to solve it!"

King Shun was lying weakly on the bed, and the only thing he was thinking about at this time was who would inherit the throne.

He has no energy to deal with major military and political affairs. Before the successor is determined, all political affairs are jointly decided by the important officials of the DPRK and China.

The ministers who are still in the court until now will basically not betray Shun Guo easily, unless he is already in the inner court of Qian State.

There is not much time left for King Shun.

His weak body and the possible attack of Qianguo at any time are urging him to decide who the heir is as soon as possible.

This can also calm the mind and reduce internal consumption.

Although King Shun was still awake, the open and secret struggle among the three princes still affected the court's reaction.

Shun country has reached the point of life and death, but fortunately the king and the important ministers in the court are determined to change the status quo and are working hard to strengthen the centralization of power.

As long as the next Shun King still maintains the current policy, Shun Kingdom still has a lot to do.

I'm afraid that the king has been uncertain about the foundation of the country, and when the invasion of the Qian country and the chaos of seizing the heirloom in the country, the Shun country will really be hopeless.

King Shun should not be so unwise, he has already communicated with the important ministers one by one, and he must have made a decision in his heart who will be the heir.

However, the ministers of Shunguo can't rest assured that the closer they are to the last moment of life, the easier it is to make some unwise decisions.

Especially for such a major event as succession to the throne, it may be just a trivial detail that can make King Shun change his attention.

The more you pay attention, the more you don't want to make mistakes, the more likely you are to act irrationally.

At the end of his life, he couldn't even tell what was sane and what was irrational.

All decisions are made in one thought.

Don't be negligent!

…

The junction of Dongting County and Nanhu County is a vast lake.

The name is of course Dongting Lake!

The size of Dongting Lake has amazed many countries in Zhongzhou. The border between Qi and Shun (now Qianguo) is even this lake.
