Emperor Ruikang naturally understood this truth, but Qin Yu was only a civil official, and leading troops to fight was no joke. Even though he knew that Zhao Qian was not capable, he had no choice but to let him take the lead.

In his opinion, he was at least a little stronger than Qin Yu, who was weak and helpless.

"I understand all of this, but is there a more suitable candidate? Don't talk about yourself, can you guarantee that you are better than Zhao Qian? Can you guarantee that you can win if you go?"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to sign a military order. If I fail but am not killed in the battle, I am willing to present my head to you." Qin Yu knelt down and said.

At this time, Shen Han also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have a younger brother who is very good at martial arts. He wrote to me and said that he wanted to lead some people from the martial arts world to the battlefield to kill the enemy. I think it is feasible. I hope Your Majesty can help me."

At this time, Wen Xiangning bowed and said, "Brother Emperor, we have discussed this before entering the palace. Although Qin Yu does not know martial arts, his strategy is absolutely unmatched. With the protection of the third son of the Shen family and a group of people from the martial arts world, there will be no problem with safety. Think about it, with Qin Yu's intelligence and strategy, plus the protection of masters, and the charge of some masters, this battle is really feasible. I hope you will think twice."

Ruikangdi thought about it seriously.

Of course he knew that the third son of the Shen family was an expert in martial arts. After all, Wen Xiangning was going to marry someone from his family, so he asked someone to investigate.

If he could really bring some martial arts people to the battlefield to protect Qin Yu, and add Qin Yu's strategy, perhaps it would be worth a try.

But it's not without problems: "Qin Yu, have you ever thought that the people in the army may not obey you, a general who doesn't even know martial arts? And those people in the martial arts world, can you ensure that they can obey your orders?"

"I have thought about it. The people in Jianghu don't need to listen to me. As long as Shen Xing can control them, it will be fine. And I know Shen Xing well. He is a righteous and chivalrous man who understands the righteousness of his country."

"Shen Xing is the third child of the Shen family?"

"Exactly."

"Are you sure that these gangsters and the military can coexist peacefully?"

"I have it." Qin Yu said firmly, but he was not sure. But the situation is critical now. If he doesn't fight for it, is he going to watch Qi Dynasty lose?

At this time, the eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Gu's son Gu Cheng'an wants to see you."

Everyone in the hall was a little surprised and didn't understand what Gu Cheng'an was doing here?

"Your Highness, I, Gu Cheng'an, pay my respects to His Majesty."

"Get up, what are you doing here?"

Gu Chengan ignored Shen Li and the other three and directly stated his purpose: "Your Majesty, I request to lead the troops to the battle."

Emperor Ruikang really felt his temples throbbing at this moment. Is it true that there is no one left in his Qi Dynasty?

The experienced veterans have all gone to the battlefield, but they were no match for Beiyuan's bravery and fighting skills. Only the old, weak, sick and disabled, as well as some inexperienced ones, were left.

And these inexperienced ones always want to rush onto the battlefield.

Wouldn’t this give him a headache?

"You haven't even been to a battlefield. What would you do there? To die? Do you think the battlefield is like when you were in the Imperial Guard? It's a real fight with real swords and guns. It's either you die or I die. It's not a joke."

"Your Majesty, I understand. But I have been practicing martial arts and military tactics with my uncle Huo Jian since I was young. Although I lack experience, I am not completely useless. I beg Your Majesty to help me."

"Your Majesty, if I were to lead the troops, I could take him with me. He is well-versed in military tactics, so he would be useful in the war," Qin Yu said.

Gu Chengan looked at Qin Yu in surprise: "You lead the troops?"

Qin Yu ignored him and kept waiting for Rui Kangdi's answer.

"Royal brother, the war cannot wait for anyone. Please make a decision as soon as possible." Wen Xiangning said.

"Qin Yu, tell me the truth, how confident are you in this battle?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know the specific situation on the battlefield, but I will do my best to defend the territory of our Qi Dynasty, and I will drive the Beiyuan people back to the north even if I die."

Emperor Ruikang was helpless at this time. All the people in the court were either civil officials or inexperienced military generals. After hearing that the general they sent out had died in the battle, no one had come forward to ask for a fight.

During the morning court session, he had already proposed who wanted to lead the troops to the battle, but no one dared to respond.

Now only Qin Yu and Gu Cheng'an came to ask for a fight.

Among the military generals of the Qi Dynasty, it was indeed Huo Jian's world.

Once he fell, there was no one available.

"Okay, I agree to let you go to the battlefield, but you can't be the general. I will appoint you as the military advisor and Gu Cheng'an as the deputy general to assist Zhao Qian. After you go to the battlefield, all problems will depend on you. But you must know that if you fail this time, my Qi Dynasty may be captured by Beiyuan at any time. At that time, the people will be displaced and blood will flow like a river. So Qin Yu, Gu Cheng'an, I hope you can succeed. I have entrusted the fate of my Qi Dynasty to you."

Qin Yu and Gu Cheng'an knelt down together, and then said in unison: "We will do our best and face death with courage."

After returning to the Shen Mansion, Shen Li helped Qin Yu pack his luggage.

"You don't know martial arts, so you must protect yourself when you go to the battlefield."

"Don't worry, I'm just a military advisor this time. I'm not the opponent's target, so there will be no danger." Qin Yu said.

"Yes." Shen Li walked forward and hugged Qin Yu from behind: "If you come back, we will get married?"

Qin Yu's body stiffened, and he turned around to look into her dark, bright eyes: "Seriously?"

"real."

Qin Yu understood why Shen Li said this at this time: "Ali, I will definitely come back alive to marry you."

The next day, when Shen Li got up, Qin Yu had already left.

All she could do next was wait, wait for the news of victory, wait for Qin Yu to come back and marry her.

As the days passed, news finally came from the battlefield.

Zhao Qian and Gu Cheng'an fought bravely and won the first battle.

Gu Cheng'an was injured by Beiyuan's attack and lost the battle.

Qin Yu used a strategy to make a feint to the east and attack in the west, and achieved a great victory.

Gradually, the people of Beiyuan finally realized that there was a strategic military advisor behind Zhao Qian. In every subsequent military campaign, they were much more cautious, for fear of falling into a trap.

The two sides had their share of battles, with wins and losses. This was good news for the Qi Dynasty, which had always been defeated. At least Zhao Qian was still alive and well, and there was no need to send a new general.

The news that came back made Shen Li a little worried. Beiyuan knew how powerful Qin Yu was and would probably target him next, so his safety would be very worrying.

The days passed quietly as Shen Li lived in fear.

At this time, bad news came as expected. Qin Yu was assassinated and his life or death was unknown.

"A Li, you don't have to worry too much. Since the battle report doesn't say that he is definitely dead, then anything is possible." Wen Xiangning said.

"Yes, and your third brother is here too. He won't let anything happen to Qin Yu." Shen Han also comforted.
