Only after questioning him closely did Zhao Xuan learn that, besides coming to visit the entire army, Xue Beng had another purpose: to remain here and study the art of military command under Marshal Gelong.
Although the Heaven Dou Empire was not that iron-blooded powerhouse in the south, it was still rather absurd for an emperor not to understand military command. Even Xue Ye had once worn silver armor and ridden a white horse while patrolling the border for several years in his youth.
Before Xue Beng, whether it was Xue Qinghe disguised by Qian Renxue or the other two princes, all had considerable accomplishments in both civil and military affairs. Only Xue Beng, in order to hide himself, had dabbled in every field but dared not delve too deeply into any of them, lest Xue Qinghe, disguised by Qian Renxue, notice something amiss.
Military affairs in particular were something Xue Beng had never touched before.
"After Father learned of everyone's plan, he specifically sent me here to study. I hope you will all guide me in the future."
In Ling Yun Pass's council hall, numerous Title Douluo and military commanders took their seats. Xue Beng cupped his hands and bowed slightly to everyone.
The several Title Douluo did not think much of it, but some of the military commanders nodded in satisfaction. Setting everything else aside, Xue Beng's attitude alone made them feel both flattered and proud. To be treated this way by the empire's future ruler was enough for them to boast about for the rest of their lives.
"Enough. There's no need for any more pleasantries. Bibi Dong hasn't made any moves these past few days, and it's making me rather uneasy. Let's discuss the counteroffensive plan."
Zhao Xuan spoke up, cutting off Xue Beng's words.
