Although the generals still couldn't discern Gu Jin's thoughts,
out of trust for Gu Jin, their eagerness to fight was quelled by him.
This is the difference between Gu Jin and Wang Yingchen!
The accumulated strength of the Gu Clan over a thousand years is most evident in such tumultuous times.
Gu Jin placed great importance on this plan.
He dispatched almost all of his confidants, keeping a constant watch on whether the generals followed orders.
Meanwhile, he hurried to meet Zhao Kuangyin at the rear.
....
Zhao Kuangyin's condition was worsening.
This is, in fact, a problem faced by every great general in ancient times as they aged.
Earning glory with blood, repaying the wounds with time.
The countless hidden wounds unnoticed in youth gradually erupted with the progression of age.
Zhao Kuangyin was no exception;
Li Shimin was no exception;
neither was Gu Chen;
and all those who left illustrious names in the annals of history could not escape this fate, none could.
