Let you do the task, you go to create the male and female protagonists

After accepting the reward, Lin Qinghe was assigned a task after attending court for a few days.

In the imperial study, the little emperor paced back and forth anxiously.

"Lord Lin, this is the news from the spies in various states. Please take a look."

According to the letter, there were unusual movements in the troops under the command of King An of Qingzhou and King Chu of Jiaozhou. Qingzhou and Jiaozhou are adjacent to each other, so these two men might send troops to other nearby states and counties together.

According to reports from spies, Prince Jing stationed in Danyang County and Prince Jing stationed in Qingzhou have not made any unusual moves.

Lin Qinghe frowned. Are they planning to send troops together?

"Lord Lin, I have discussed this with Minister Yu before. We only need to keep 100,000 soldiers in the capital to defend the city. I can give you the remaining 40,000 soldiers. When you arrive in Yuzhou, you can mobilize the local troops with this summons."

This means that all the 20,000 troops that Lin Qinghe had abducted from Prince Li were given to her, plus the 20,000 allocated from the military camp in the capital, a total of 40,000 troops, which was already a lot.

Yuzhou, sandwiched between Qingzhou and Jiaozhou, should be the target of the two kings An and Chu.

Lin Qinghe led his troops to provide support, while the remaining troops in the capital focused on defense to prevent Prince Jing from stealing their home.

To be honest, these 40,000 troops are indeed not many. Lin Qinghe, holding the summons, can go to Yuzhou to mobilize troops. She is ready to set off immediately that night.

"I will protect Yuzhou for Your Majesty and capture the rebels!" This was Lin Qinghe's promise to Li Zhaoyan when he left.

She set out that night with an army of 20,000, heading west.

When Lin Qinghe set out this time, Yu Xiaochen did not follow her. Instead, a young general on horseback talked to her from time to time.

The army marched for three days and two nights, and Lin Qinghe finally arrived at the city of Yuzhou on the fourth day.

With the summons, she was quickly allowed into the city. After meeting Huang Xiao, the general of the garrison in Yuzhou City, Lin Qinghe left to reorganize the army and then went to rest after settling them down.

The next day, Lin Qinghe got up when it was still dawn. She first practiced a set of boxing in the courtyard. After feeling relaxed, Lin Qinghe ate her meal and walked towards the East City military camp.

When she arrived, the soldiers were already training in neat rows on the training ground, while Huang Xiao was standing in one place, watching his subordinates train.

Huang Xiao had a ferocious look and sharp eyes. When he saw Lin Qinghe coming, his thick eyebrows moved.

"General Lin, let's go to the military camp to discuss." He didn't say anything extra, but walked in front quickly and led Lin Qinghe to the main tent.

"General Lin must be aware of the current situation in Yuzhou. Prince An and Prince Chu are gathering troops in the east and north of Yuzhou. This is the map of Yuzhou. Look." Huang Xiao pointed to the map on the table. Yuzhou is not an easy place to defend because it is mostly plains.

After passing through Wu Gorge in the north of Yuzhou, you can go directly to the hinterland of Yuzhou. King An, who is in the north of Yuzhou, will naturally not miss such a good breakthrough.

As for the purpose of the King of Chu gathering his troops in the east of Yuzhou, it is self-evident. The terrain in the east is very flat, and the cavalry under the King of Chu are elite. If they launch an offensive on the plains, the defenders of Yuzhou will be at a great disadvantage.

In view of the fact that the cavalry under the King of Chu are powerful and the Yuzhou army is not suitable for going out to fight, Huang Xiao plans to have his subordinates focus on defense.

Lin Qinghe, who brought 40,000 reinforcements, undoubtedly reduced the pressure on Yuzhou's defense. In the north, King An led 80,000 troops to cross Wu Gorge and attack Yuzhou.

Lin Qinghe and Huang Xiao discussed for a long time and finally decided that Huang Xiao, who was more familiar with Yuzhou, would stay in the city to arrange the city defense and block the attacking King Chu, while Lin Qinghe would lead the 40,000 troops she brought with her to Wu Gorge to confront King An.

It was a consensus reached between Lin Qinghe and Huang Xiao that Prince An could not be allowed to cross Wu Gorge.

Wu Gorge is a canyon formed by the natural terrain. Its widest part is only 20 meters wide, while its narrowest part is only 10 meters.

Therefore, not too many people can pass through here.

In order to capture this place, King An had no other choice but to order his soldiers to continue to send more people up.

Lin Qinghe marched quickly, but even when she led her army to Wu Gorge in the north of Yuzhou the next day, Prince An had already launched the first wave of offensive.

At this time, due to Prince An's desperate fighting style, most of the defenders stationed in Wu Gorge had been killed or wounded. Regardless of the fatigue of marching all night, Lin Qinghe hurriedly gave orders to fill the gaps in the defense.

This place is one of the few places in Yuzhou that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even so, Lin Qinghe dare not slack off.

On the battlefield, King An's troops charged towards the narrow gorge desperately.

The defenders standing in the canyon raised their bows and crossbows, and many people lost their lives in the flash of cold light.

But even so, many of these people survived the rain of arrows, and slowly moved forward holding up shields or using the bodies of their dead companions as shields.

Most of the attackers were killed by the guards.

If this continues, it will only increase casualties. This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Under Lin Qinghe's orderly arrangement, King An's army can do nothing to her.

The other side seemed to know what was going on and soon called off the attack.

Finally having some time to catch their breath, Lin Qinghe quickly asked another team to replace the soldiers who were already exhausted from fighting.

Not far from Wu Gorge, King An set up camp here.

When Prince An learned that the attack had failed, he cursed, "You can't even take this place? What a bunch of rubbish!"

"Your Highness, I have a plan that can help our army capture this important pass of Wu Gorge as soon as possible."

"Oh? What's the plan? Tell me about it." Seeing the man's confident expression, Prince An asked.

"Is such that……"

After hearing this, Prince An nodded with some satisfaction, but he was a little hesitant, "Doing this is unkind and righteous..."

"Your Highness! Those who accomplish great things do not care about trivial matters. If Wu Gorge is successfully captured, Yuzhou and even the world can be taken... those are just thugs who contradicted you, and they should feel honored to have made a contribution to you!" The general who offered the advice flattered the king while trying his best to "persuade" the still hesitant King An.

Prince An finally nodded, "Okay, then I will do as you say. They are just a bunch of untouchables."

What Lin Qinghe did not expect was that when the other side sounded the drums to attack again in the afternoon, it was not Prince An's army that came up first.

But... the people!

A group of old, weak, women and children were pushed and threatened with knives as they walked forward in front of King An's army, acting as hostages and also as their human shields.

Lin Qinghe, who was standing at the checkpoint, looked at this scene and his face turned extremely bad!

The archers standing around her glanced at the group of civilians who were forced to the front of the army from time to time, and were reluctant to pull the bowstrings.

Prince An is truly a heartless person who doesn't care about the lives of ordinary people!

Lin Qinghe, standing upright in the cold wind, had the urge to kill someone for the first time.

What should she do?
