"To execute this grand strategy," Chen Deng announced, his voice carrying clearly across the silent hall, "His Majesty has explicitly deployed a massive reinforcement of twenty thousand elite central troops to our western theater. This independent vanguard is under the direct, joint command of Generals Yue Jin, Li Dian, Yu Jin, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Pang De, and Gao Lan."
As Chen Deng called out their names, the seven former Wei generals immediately snapped to perfect attention and discipline. In perfect, synchronized military discipline, they cupped their hands together and bowed their heads respectfully toward the Marshals and the gathered commanders, officially presenting themselves to the high command.
Guan Yu stroked his long beard, his eyes narrowing slightly in assessment, while Zhang Fei let out a soft, challenging huff from his nostrils. The history of blood between them was long and dark, as after all they have fought against some of them when they served Liu Bei in the past.
Anticipating the friction, Chen Deng reached into his wide sleeves and produced a small, tightly rolled silk scroll, sealed with the unmistakable black wax of the Emperor’s private seal.
"Before we delve into the exact tactical deployments," Chen Deng said, his voice dropping into a solemn, reverent register. "His Imperial Majesty asked me to read a personal addendum to his orders. A reminder to every single man standing in this room."
Chen Deng unrolled the silk, holding it up to catch the light of the oil lamps. He read the Emperor’s words with absolute clarity.
"You are the architects of the new world. Many of you all present have bled for different banners in the past. You have fought for different lords, held different grievances, and spilled each other’s blood on the plains. But hear me now, within the walls of this command, under the shadow of the Black Dragon of Hengyuan Dynasty, you are all entirely equal."
Chen Deng paused, letting the immense weight of Lie Fan’s words settle over the titans of war.
