In the morning, the Dragon Cavalry Regiment and the Heavenly Xingtian Army had officially wiped out the pirates in Xihai Harbor. Nearly 5,000 warships had nowhere to escape. Thousands of pirates were driven ashore, and all the warships, large and small, were pulled into the harbor and temporarily became the property of the Qin Empire.
…
In the afternoon, Situ Sen held Iron Helmet in his arms and walked into the main hall with his head held high. He knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Your Highness, the pirate warships of the southern islands have all been gathered around the harbor and the nearby islands. Thousands of pirates are on their way back. Should we execute them along the way and let the people see the final fate of the pirates?"
Qin Yin stood in front of the throne and shook her head. "Forget it, the pirates are no longer a threat. Let these pirates join the army. At least they still have some strength."
"Yes!"
After Situ Sen joined the army, Ding Xi stepped out and cupped his hands. "Your Highness, we have cleared out the provisions. Longxi has hoarded nearly two million dans of provisions in Qianshan City. They are well preserved, enough for our army to use for a season!"
"Okay ~" Qin Yin smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Commander Ding Xi."
"It is my honor to serve the Empire."
Qin Yin looked at Lin Muyu and said, "Lin General, now that Qianshan City has been stabilized, the land, taxes, and officials have been re-registered and rewarded, what should we do next?"
Lin Muyu, who was thinking about the battle of Xiping City, was startled and said, "Your Highness, I believe that Qianshan City is not an impregnable fortress. Our army only took two hours to capture the city, and to the east of Qianshan City, Hongyan Province and Liaoyuan Xingsheng are watching covetously. He Song's 200,000 wolf soldiers are not to be trifled with. If we do not destroy He Song's 200,000 wolf soldiers, we will not be able to gain a foothold in the territory of the Blackstone Empire."
Tang Xiaoxi, who was next to the Empress, was slightly stunned and said, "Xiping City is under attack. Are we really not going to help General Feng?"
"We have to believe that General Feng can resist."
Lin Muyu said, "Moreover, we don't need all 400,000 troops to attack He Song. I only need to lead 150,000 Longdan Army Camp and 50,000 Bai Ze mercenaries to attack. The remaining 100,000 elites and surrendered soldiers can be led by a general to reinforce Xiping City and help General Feng."
Qin Yin pursed her red lips and said, "The war is urgent. Who can take on the responsibility?"
Qin Yong, Chen Xiaoli, and Tang Zhen almost stepped out at the same time, cupped their fists, and said, "This subject is willing to go!"
"Commander," Qin Yin was a little hesitant and looked at Muyu.
"Commanders," Lin Muyu said, "Muyu is is Commander., Feng Commander Sect Division," Dynasty, and King Dynasty Ming Qi is Sect is Ming City.
"Oh? Who? "
"QianFeng," Lin Muyu said in a deep voice.
"Ah?!"
All the generals looked at Lin Muyu and QianFeng. After all, QianFeng was a surrendered general. Now, Lin Muyu actually wanted to hand over 200,000 troops to QianFeng. This was very surprising.
"Marshal, I'm afraid this isn't very appropriate, right?" Tang Zhen said tactfully, "Although Marshal QianFeng's military strategy is outstanding, he has always been in Bahuang Province and isn't familiar with human life. This …"
In fact, Tang Zhen didn't say it out loud. Those who aren't of the same race are bound to have different intentions!
But Lin Muyu smiled faintly and said, "How can there be no clothes, I am robed with my son. When the Tianji Empire invaded, QianFeng was already one of us. If he didn't fight to the death to delay the main force of the Tianji Empire in Bahuang Province, our Qin Empire would have been destroyed. I believe in QianFeng and I believe in the loyalty forged by sword and blood. QianFeng is a member of the empire. Every one of his subordinates is also a citizen of the empire. They are all our comrades. "
QianFeng's eyes were cold. He knelt on one knee and said to Qin Yin, "QianFeng swears to never betray Your Highness and the empire. I won't hesitate to go through fire and water. If I violate this oath, I will die without a complete corpse!"
Qin Yin nodded, "Commander QianFeng, please rise. Lin General trusts you and so do I."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Lin Muyu cleared her throat and said, "Then it's decided. QianFeng will be the main commander, Chen Xiaoli will be the vanguard, Qin Yong will be the left, Tang Zhen will be the right, Qin Yan will be the rear, and Ding Xi will be in charge of logistics. Immediately lead 200,000 troops to reinforce Xiping City. Remember to arrive before Xiping City falls. Don't disappoint Your Highness."
"Understood!"
The six commanders knelt together and said in unison.
Lin Muyu was a subject and didn't say anything. She just tucked the golden helmet under her armpit and said to Si Kongyao, Wei Chou, Situ Sen, and the others, "Prepare the provisions. We will set off tomorrow morning to attack Hongyan Province and fight it out with He Song's 200,000 wolf soldiers!"
"Yes!"
At this moment, the 500,000 troops of the Qin Empire in the Celestial Pole Continent were divided into three groups.
…
Before dusk, the various prefectures and prefectures of Lieshan Province sent their surrender reports one after another. The civil and military officials would arrive at Qianshan City in a day or two to pay their respects to the empress. Therefore, this time, Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi had to stay in Qianshan City to manage the internal affairs while Lin Muyu was in charge of the external affairs and led 200,000 elites to attack the city.
At night, the snow stopped, and the clouds dispersed. Under the starlight, rows of armored cavalry had already left the city and headed north. They were the vanguard of the reinforcement army, led by Chen Xiaoli.
From the high platform in the palace, one could see everything outside the city.
Lin Muyu and Qin Yin stood side by side and watched the brave warriors of the empire begin their new journey.
"I don't know … if General Feng can withstand 500,000 troops." Qin Yin's eyes were full of worry.
"He will."
Lin Muyu said softly, "Who is Big Brother Feng? It's the invincible Feng Jixing … Besides, with the heavy artillery and the imperial guards, I believe that he can definitely defend Xiping City. Furthermore, the reinforcements will arrive in three to five days. Don't worry so much."
"What about you …" Qin Yin turned around and looked at him. The starlight shone on the swirling tears in her eyes as she said in a sobbing tone, "You almost died in the battle of the Ten Kilometer Valley. What will happen to the attack on Hongyan Province this time? Brother Yu, you are no longer a god. You are just a mortal. Why do you still treat yourself like a god and risk your life …"
Lin Muyu felt a pain in her heart. She stepped forward to hold her shoulders and said, "Xiao Yin, this is the path that we have chosen. Once we have chosen it, there is no turning back. Whether it is a mountain of knives, a sea of fire, or a hell on earth, I will continue on. Don't worry, He Song's wolf soldiers aren't as powerful as you think. I will definitely be fine."
"You say that every time." Qin Yin's eyes were misty as she looked at him and said softly, "You are so arbitrary every time. You left the Dragon League masters in Qianshan City. What will you do then? What if Longxi doesn't leave? Will you be able to withstand his attack?"
"I won't. Don't I still have Wei Chou, Si Kongyao, and Situ Sen by my side?"
"…"
Qin Yin did not speak anymore. She turned around and looked at the darkness in the distance. Under the cool breeze, she sobbed softly.
Lin Muyu did not know how to comfort her. After returning from Earth, Qin Yin began to worry about personal gains and losses. She could not be blamed for this. After seeing the beautiful life, she naturally cherished the people around her even more.
"This is a crucial battle."
Lin Muyu said softly, "Xiao Yin, think about it. If I can defeat He Song's wolf soldiers in Hongyan Province, then the war within the territory of the Blackstone Empire can be quelled. The hundreds of city passes on the eastern border of the Blackstone Empire can act as a barrier to resist the threat from the direction of the Celestial Empire. The three major provinces and Xishan Province can provide us with an endless supply of food. We can then establish a foundation in this foreign land. This is a crucial battle. We cannot avoid it. We can only face it!"
"I know …"
Qin Yin murmured, "Promise me, come back safe and sound."
"Yes, I promise you."
"Look me in the eyes and say it again, okay?"
"Yes."
However, when Lin Muyu lowered his head and looked at Qin Yin's watery eyes, he suddenly had mixed feelings. His nose turned sour and he almost cried. He held Qin Yin's little hand tightly and whispered, "Qin Yin, I don't understand why I love you so much, but I just love you. I … I'm going to patrol the barracks. I'll set off tomorrow at dawn. You don't have to send me off."
After saying that, he jumped off the platform and disappeared into the night after a few leaps.
He left the city. The Longdan Army Camp was set up outside the city.
Qin Yin stared blankly at his receding figure. Her tears flowed silently. She understood him. He did not want to carry a trace of worry. What was needed in war was a heart of steel, not a heart as soft as water.
"What a heartless guy …"
A voice came from behind.
Qin Yin knew who it was without looking back. She wiped her tears and said, "Sister Chu Yao, why are you here?"
"I was worried about you, so I came to see. Did I disturb you?"
"No."
Chu Yao, dressed in a white dress, was as spotless as a snow lotus in a cold palace. She walked leisurely to the edge of the platform and kicked the snow with her white boots. "Don't feel sad. He is a famous general born for war. He won the world for you. You should feel happy. There will not be a second man in the world who will treat you like this."
"I know, I know."
Qin Yin suddenly felt a little tired. She sat quietly in the snow with her arms around her knees.
Chu Yao also sat down with her and said, "Xishan Province and Hongyan Province are at war. I don't know how many people will die in this war. Now the Spring Ploughing Festival has passed, but there is no sign of spring recovering. I don't know how long the winter will last."
Qin Yin was speechless.
"Xiao Yin, you should feel happy. You are waiting for him to come back with glory." Chu Yao laughed at herself and said, "Compared to you, others are not so lucky. For example, what about me? What am I waiting for? Waiting for my brother to come back? "
Qin Yin's eyes turned red. "I'm sorry, Sister Chu Yao."
"Why are you sorry …"
Chu Yao pursed her lips and faintly smiled. "Everything is predestined. Following the will of the heavens is the only thing we can do. It's cold outside. Let's go back? You are the empress, graceful and noble. You can't be willful like a little girl. "
"Hmm …"
