Queen Helan whipped her horse, her pretty face full of disdain. "Why? Of course it's for the lives of my men in the Northern Region, and also to avenge my cousin and uncle. Ren Qining, who do you think you are? You want to be free and unfettered after using the people of the Northern Region? Since you appeared in the Northern Region, how many of my men have died in vain on the battlefield? Now there are less than 300,000 people left, and you want to torment them all? Do you want the Northern Region to be exterminated? "
There were more than 700,000 soldiers in the Northern Region, and the population of the Northern Region was not large. These 700,000 soldiers accounted for 90% of the young and strong men in the Northern Region. But now more than half of them had died. If they really let Ren Qining waste these three hundred thousand soldiers and horses, they would not be able to do anything. What good would it do for the Northern Region even if they unified the world? What awaited the Northern Region was only extermination. Even now, if they wanted to restore their former population and military strength, it would probably take decades of effort.
"Helan!" Ren Qining gnashed his teeth.
Queen Helan giggled, waved the whip in her hand and pointed at Ren Qining. "I'm going to take my men home. If you want to hate someone, hate Princess Ding. These are all her ideas. Sound the horn, retreat! "
The quaint horn of the Northern Region sounded throughout the battlefield, and the army of the Northern Region gradually withdrew from the battlefield toward the northeast. In the distance, Helan looked at Ren Qining complacently with a somewhat provocative expression. "Do you dare to chase?"
Ren Qining gritted his teeth, but more blood spilled from the corners of his tightly closed lips. But he could only watch Queen Helan leave with a laugh.
"Retreat, return to camp!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Pfft —!" Ren Qining spat out another mouthful of blood, and finally fell to the ground, sinking into the dark sweet liquid.
Ren Qining was taken back to the camp by the crowd, and only woke up after more than an hour. The generals waiting in the tent looked forward. "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, how are you? "
"Helan, you bitch! I swear to tear you into pieces! "Ren Qining said with hatred.
All the generals looked at each other in dismay. Many of them didn't even have time to figure out what was going on when the Northern Tribes suddenly attacked together in the midst of the chaos. Ren Qining gritted her teeth and said, "That bitch He Lan has been colluding with the Prince Ding Mansion for a long time. They are waiting for I to return so that they can gather all the northern troops. "
"This … Your Majesty, what should we do if the northern army really becomes our enemy?" With Prince Ding's residence eyeing them covetously, it already made them feel extremely pressured. If the northern army turned against them. After all, no one knew better than them just how powerful the Northerners were. In these two years, if they had not been using the northern troops as the vanguard, how could the million-strong army that they had just barely managed to recruit be able to force the Da Chu State into such a state?
Ren Qining sat up. These days, her heart was suppressed by many things. After spitting out a mouthful of blood on the battlefield, his mind became much clearer. She sneered and said, "Since He Lan dares to play tricks with I, she must not be a fool. If she brings less than three hundred thousand soldiers into the battle between our army and the Prince Ding Mansion, she won't be able to bring back a single one of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Northern Tribes. In a few days, she will leave on her own. "When He Lan was mentioned, Ren Qining's eyes couldn't help but be filled with hatred. He relied on He Lan's cousin, his ex-wife, to establish his country. He never thought that he would fall into the hands of his ex-wife's cousin, his current wife.
"Send someone to investigate carefully. Find out who is in charge of the Prince Ding Mansion this time. To be able to use such methods, the person cooperating with the Northern Tribes is definitely not some random soldier. "Ren Qining ordered," The original spies can't be used anymore. I'm afraid that they have already been controlled by someone. Go and rearrange the manpower. "
"Yes." The subordinate cupped his hands in acknowledgment and turned to leave.
"Your Majesty, who do you think will come this time?" The confidant beside the bed asked carefully.
Ren Qining said coldly, "There aren't many people in the Prince Ding Mansion who can use such methods. Xu Hongyu and Xu Hongyan usually don't leave the Northwest. Mo Xiuyao is currently at war with the Northern Tribes. This time, if it's not Xu Qingchen, then it's Ye Li! "Ren Qining lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then said decisively," It must be Ye Li! When we were in Glass City, she was also the one who interacted with that bitch He Lan quite a bit. " Ren Qining's intestines were now broken. Back then, he didn't guard against that bitch He Lan at all and brought her to Glass City. He even let her reach an agreement with the Prince Ding Mansion right under his nose. Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets now.
"Your Majesty, that Queen He Lan …"
"Kill! At all costs, we must not let that bitch return to the Northern Tribes alive! "Ren Qining's expression was ferocious, and his voice was so cold that everyone in the tent couldn't help but shiver.
After everyone left, the tent regained its tranquility. Ren Qining leaned against the side of the bed and closed his eyes to rest. But no one knew what he was thinking, but from time to time, the muscles on his face would twitch and his expression would distort. "Mo Xiuyao, Ye Li! You actually dared to scheme against I. I will make you wish you were dead! "
While Ren Qining's tent was filled with wind and rain, the Prince Ding Mansion's tent on the other side was indeed filled with laughter and singing. Although the tribal leaders of the Northern Tribes and the old officials of the previous dynasty couldn't wait to fight to the death. But the ordinary soldiers didn't have such deep resentment between them. When Ren Qining entered the Pass, for the sake of his future rule, he didn't let the soldiers kill the innocent like the Northern Tribes. Naturally, he didn't have any deep hatred with the ordinary people. In these two years, the Central Plains soldiers had seen the Northern Tribes soldiers rush to the front in every battle. They were exceptionally brave and full of admiration. Now that these Northern Tribes soldiers had rebelled against Ren Qining, everyone could be considered to be on the same side. Naturally, there was nothing much to say.
In the entire camp, except for the soldiers who were on routine patrol, everyone, regardless of whether they were from the Central Plains or the Northern Tribes, sat together to drink and eat meat. The singing and dancing were even livelier than when they had won a battle. The people of the Northern Tribes had no intention of participating in the Central Plains' war and were eager to go home. Tonight could be considered as a farewell banquet hosted by Ye Li and the Prince Ding Mansion for the people of the Northern Tribes.
In the open-air camp, Ye Li led the people of the Prince Ding Mansion and the Central Plains generals of the recently recovered Northern Tribes to sit side by side with Queen Helan's father, the current leader of the Northern Tribes. They drank good wine together. The people of the Northern Region saw that although this seemingly weak Prince Ding's residence was not very good at drinking, his actions were very clean and efficient. He was not like those people under Ren Qi Ning who hid a knife behind a smile and had a stomach full of cunning plots. They also heard that it was all thanks to Princess Ding that so many Northern Tribes soldiers could safely withdraw from the battlefield. They couldn't help but have a very good impression of this princess of the Central Plains.
The only women present were Queen Helan and Ye Li. Queen Helan didn't sit on her own side but went to Ye Li's side to join in the fun. Now, seeing that the people of the Northern Tribes were about to go home, Queen Helan's pretty face also showed some playfulness and relaxation. At that time, she would be even more relaxed than before, truly like a sixteen or seventeen year old carefree girl. She was not a queen of the Northern Tribes who had to pretend to be arrogant while shouldering the rise and fall of the whole tribe.
