Hunting system, and I ended up becoming the empress!

There is no doubt about the power of a stubborn old lion.

Xiao Kui was still brooding over the defeat at Guixiong Pass. Even though he was seriously ill, he still got up and ordered the army to march south.

Xiao Zhixing knew what he was planning.

There are many conflicts within the Northern Barbarians' country, and he can only divert them through foreign wars.

It happened that Beijiang had secretly discussed with him to send troops together, and he also wanted to avenge his previous humiliation before his death, so he ignored the dissuasion of An Wuxi and others and summoned an army of 200,000.

After exhausting the remaining young and strong troops of the Northern Barbarians, he marched south again.

In the south, the Nanyi and Nanfan also began to deploy troops on the border. Although they did not have as many troops as those in the north, they still had 70,000 each.

Their idea was simple: to take advantage of the situation, so domestic conflicts were suspended and they were just waiting to gain benefits from this war.

Dasheng is truly surrounded by enemies on all sides. Who knows what the outcome will be?

【Yellow barrage: Here it comes, again...】

People in the future will look at the historical events of the past with emotion and silence.

They can do nothing but watch quietly and give their blessings.

Xiao Zhixing returned to Beizhou and immediately convened a military meeting.

"Everyone, the war is coming. The 200,000 troops in the northern border are supported by the Mu family army. We need to take on the 200,000 troops in the northern barbarians. This is the time for a real bloody fight."

Xiao Dong and others loudly requested to fight, and each of them wished they could fight back.

The current Guixiong Pass has a strong army and is not afraid of the northern barbarians at all.

After deploying the mission of actively attacking the enemy, Xiao Zhixing left Xiao Dong and Su Zhen behind.

His eyes were fixed on Xining Pass.

Xiao Dong was puzzled, "Your Majesty is worried about that?"

Xiao Zhixing nodded, "The Northern Barbarians are a dying old lion, there is no need to worry about them. What I am worried about is Xining Pass."

Yeluge seemed to have something to rely on, and this time he personally led his troops south.

Lowe is now extremely cautious. All his communications with Yeluge are in code, and he is openly on guard against 170.

So Xiao Zhixing didn't get any useful information from there, and the Ghost Guards couldn't reach them for the time being.

But she speculated that Xining Pass was the main battlefield of this battle.

She was worried that something might happen to the Mu family army.

Huang Kun, whom she mentioned earlier, had indeed leaked information about Xining Pass. Although the person was caught, some things are hard to say.

"Well, Uncle Dong, Uncle Heiyue, you guys guard Beizhou and Mengzhou. I will personally lead people there..."

Xiao Zhixing whispered to the two of them, arranged detailed tasks, and sent a secret letter to Mu Wan.

Then she disappeared.

Various spies kept a close eye on Xiao Zhixing's movements and discovered that she occasionally worked in the Xiao Mansion or convened generals for deployment meetings.

Always in the North State.

There is no doubt that this is a substitute specially found by the Ghost Guard, whose height and figure are very similar to her.

It's just to deal with times like this.

Because several people from the Shi family were present, no one suspected for the time being that this was a fake Xiao Zhixing.

Only the audience in the live broadcast room and Bai Su knew that Xiao Zhixing had already left Beizhou, hiding during the day and moving out at night, heading west with thousands of people.

Before she reached her destination, the Ghost Guard sent an urgent report, "Your Majesty, Xining Pass has been breached!!"

Xiao Zhixing's face was cold, "What's going on?"

"The Northern Frontier used a weapon more powerful than explosive powder to suddenly blow up the city gate. With the help of hidden agents, the Mu family army was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. Xining Pass was breached, and the Northern Frontier army entered the pass. The Mu family army is retreating southward while resisting the enemy!"

Xiao Zhixing took a deep breath and thought of the bomb.

How could Lowe have a bomb? Or something else?

The subsystem did not have any records, and the spies who infiltrated the northern border did not find this thing.

Otherwise she would remind the Mu family.

She suppressed her doubts and quickly gave the order, "Order the Women's Army to cooperate with the Mu Family Army to delay the enemy's rampage. Order the 100,000 Xiao Family Army in Ningzhou to follow the Mu Family Army and destroy the enemy!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Zhixing and his men continued on their journey.

The audiences in the live broadcast rooms No. 1 and No. 2 were all wondering where she was going, as the direction she was heading did not seem like she was going to Xining Pass.

After that, urgent secret reports were delivered to her one after another.

"Your Majesty, after losing 30,000 men, the Northern Barbarians stayed where they were and did not approach our long wall defense line again."

"Your Majesty, the Southern Barbarians attacked General Xiong's troops, and both sides suffered casualties!"

"Your Majesty, the Mu family army has temporarily held off the Northern Frontier Army by defending the cities along the way!"

However, at this time, one quarter of the land in the northern part of Xiazhou had already fallen.

The only thing that is reassuring is that Yeluge claims to be kind and did not allow the northern border army to destroy and harm the people.

"Your Majesty, the Ningzhou Xiao family army has caught up with the enemy in the northern border and is cooperating with the Mu family army to destroy the enemy!"

"Your Majesty, the Nanfan attacked the city, and General Xue Chen temporarily held off the enemy's attack."

On the other side, Huo Baijun had already prepared to meet the enemy.

Overnight, smoke of war rose on all four borders of Dasheng.

Among the people in the country who heard the news, some were worried, some were anxious, and some were trying to take advantage of the situation.

In Shengjing City, the emperor summoned all his ministers. Apart from ordering the generals to defend the city to the death, they could only wait for the result.

The war broke out, finances became tight, and Duke Li's hair turned white from worry in just ten days.

At this time, no one was slandering Xiao Zhixing for his warmongering.

As long as they thought about the hundreds of thousands of Xiao family soldiers over there, they felt inexplicably safe.

"Your Majesty, the military pay has been distributed, except for the Xiao family army and the Sunan army..."

Speaking of this, Duke Li and Huo Jindao blushed slightly.

Because ever since Xiao Zhixing took over those two places, they haven't paid any military salaries to them.

Beizhou itself takes a portion of the tax deduction, and the bulk is supplied by Xiao Zhixing himself.

They realized later that maybe Qian Yin had left some treasure for her?

Otherwise, how could she be so rich?

Back to the present, the imperial court can no longer save the military pay of the two armies, otherwise it will be despised by the people of the world.

however.

"The national treasury can no longer provide a penny of silver."

Duke Li knelt down and pleaded guilty, "I am incompetent, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Yunqi waved his hand and did not blame him. Ever since the Guixiongguan Incident, the border has been uneasy and all the money in the national treasury went into that place.

Duke Li has tried his best to maintain the situation.

Finally, Zhao Yunqi opened the royal treasury and said, "In such a critical moment, it is useless for me to keep these valuables. Let's move them all away."

If he could use money to buy world peace, he would do his best.

All the ministers knelt down with tears in their eyes.

The emperor took the lead, his ministers also donated their property, and countless people followed suit.

People of insight from all sides rushed to the border.

The people in the four northern states were particularly active.

They gave away their sons and their wealth, just hoping that Prince Yuansheng and the Mu family army could defend the north and save their homes!

The Emperor System was as quiet as a chicken, and no one knew whether it was out of guilt, remorse, or escapism.

The audience in the live broadcast room prayed silently, hoping that nothing would happen!

At this time, Xiao Zhixing arrived at her destination after more than 20 days of rapid march.

Still the same old place - Ningzhou Zhongning Yitiantian!

"Your Highness!" Wei Zhao saluted.

After receiving Xiao Zhixing's order, he asked Bai Zhixian to lead the troops to cooperate with the Mu family army to suppress the enemy.

He stayed because the task here was more difficult.

He must cooperate with the prince to complete the important task!

"What's the enemy doing over there?" Xiao Zhixing asked while quickly eating his simple food.

"The Northern Frontier has heavy troops guarding the exit of the narrow passage, and there are also Heavenly Rank experts guarding it."

They were also preventing Dasheng from launching the same sneak attack.

"it is good."

After the meal, Xiao Zhixing told everyone to have a night's rest. After tomorrow, no one would be able to sleep well, so they had to conserve their energy.

She didn't sleep and discussed the detailed plan with Wei Zhaocou again.

On the second day, the sun rose, the temperature in the north dropped rapidly, and the mountains turned white.
