Chapter 412: Open a Back Door!

Hearing Zhang San's complaints, Emperor Kaihuang couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He exactly wanted Zhang San's expression—smiling with bitterness, sweetness mixed with sourness.

"After all, the Jade Seal hasn't been cast yet. If you later achieve greatness in the north, truly disrupt the Tujue's peace, and buy Great Sui some time to prepare against the Tujue, I might consider granting you the title of 'Marquis of Champion.' But first, you would need to establish some admirable achievements in the military to convince everyone!"

Zhang San nodded repeatedly, though he felt that going to the Northern Army and unsettling the Tujue might not be an easy task.

"So... once I'm in the Northern Army, whose orders do I follow?"

Emperor Kaihuang hadn't really considered this question before; he only thought that wherever Zhang San went, it wouldn't be peaceful, so heading north to deal with the Xiongnu was perfect.
