The scenery along the way unfolds like a painting, the warm spring sun shines on the earth, everything revives and is full of vitality. Although there is no verbal communication between Chu Heng and the enemy leader, the tacit understanding and respect are conveyed silently. They have witnessed the cruelty of war together, and they also look forward to the beauty of peace together.

As the distance shortened, the enemy's camp gradually came into view. When the two finally arrived, they were greeted not only by soldiers lining up to welcome them, but also by the warm anticipation and cheers of the people of both countries for peace. At this moment, all the hatred and estrangement disappeared, leaving only infinite longing and hope for the future.

In that ancient and mysterious land, Xie Chaochao's name is like the brightest star in the night sky, suddenly illuminating the hearts of thousands of people. The story begins with a sudden crisis. It was a stormy night with dark clouds overhead, as if the sky was about to collapse, engulfing the entire village in endless darkness and fear.

Rumors spread in the village that there was an evil spirit causing chaos. Crops withered overnight, livestock disappeared inexplicably, and even worse, strange whispers could be heard at night, echoing in everyone's ears, stirring up the deepest fear. The villagers were terrified and prayed to God to send a savior to save them from the water and fire.

At this moment of despair, Xie Chaochao, a seemingly ordinary woman with extraordinary strength, stepped forward. She was dressed in plain clothes, with long hair like a waterfall, and her eyes flashed with determination and wisdom, as if she could see through all the vanity in the world. Faced with the despair and expectations of the villagers, she did not retreat at all, but resolutely embarked on the journey of exploring the truth and expelling the evil spirits.

The night was as dark as ink. Xie Chaochao held a weak lantern and shuttled through the wild forests and paths. Every step she took seemed so firm and resolute. The roar of the wild beasts in the forest and the whimper of the night wind seemed to crown her and give her fearless courage. After a hard search and battle of wits, she finally found the source of the evil - a cursed ancient altar, which was entangled with twisted dark forces and greedily sucked the vitality of this land.

Facing this powerful force, Xie Chaochao was not afraid at all. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if communicating with the heaven and earth, absorbing the pure energy of nature. Then, she slowly opened her eyes, with a dazzling light flashing in her eyes, which was the concentration of faith and strength. With a clear shout, she waved the magic weapon in her hand, and a bright light cut through the night sky and hit the altar directly, instantly shattering the dark force.

The evil spirits dissipated, the dark clouds dispersed, the moonlight once again filled the earth, and everything seemed to be reborn in this sudden light. The villagers came out of their homes and witnessed this miraculous scene. They cheered and surrounded Xie Chaochao, their eyes full of gratitude and admiration. At this moment, Xie Chaochao was not only their savior, but also a glorious figure like a goddess in their hearts.

The good times didn't last long. The clouds in the sky seemed to be swallowed by the sudden haze. The originally peaceful and peaceful capital was quietly covered with a thick veil of crisis. The north wind brought the biting cold and ominous news, passing through the streets and alleys, reaching the depths of the imperial city. In the Golden Palace, the candlelight flickered, reflecting the frown and resolute eyes of the empress Xie Chaochao. She, a monarch known for her wisdom and courage, was facing an unprecedented challenge at this moment - the coalition forces of the Three Kingdoms, like three beasts ready to go, were eyeing and vowing to turn this prosperous capital into ashes.

"Report..." A hurried and heavy announcement broke the silence in the hall. A scout in armor knelt on the ground, his voice trembling but firm. "Urgent news from the northern border. The three countries of Dongyi, Xiliang and Nanman have formed a secret alliance. The cavalry is ready to go. They are threatening to attack our dynasty and take the capital directly!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall. The faces of the ministers were different. Some were terrified, some were indignant, and most were confused and helpless. At this critical moment, everyone's eyes were gathered on Empress Xie Chaochao and General Chu Heng beside her.

Chu Heng, a general with great military exploits and a great reputation, did not show any panic in his eyes, but instead flashed with calmness and decisiveness. He slowly stood up, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, and his voice was steady and powerful, penetrating every corner of the hall: "Your Majesty, I think that facing the coalition forces of the three countries, although our dynasty is at a disadvantage, it is not without a chance of winning. The art of war says that if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. We need to immediately send spies to go deep behind enemy lines to find out their strengths and weaknesses; at the same time, strengthen the city defenses, reorganize the armaments, and prepare to meet the enemy. More importantly, we must boost morale and let the people of the city know that our dynasty is united and swears to defend our homeland to the death and will never retreat!"

Xie Chaochao heard this, and a hint of approval flashed in her eyes. She stood up, walked down the dragon steps, and came to Chu Heng. The two looked at each other, and there was no need to say more, as they had reached a tacit understanding. She announced loudly: "General Chu Heng is right. I will appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition, and you will be fully responsible for resisting foreign enemies. I and the people of the whole city will follow your lead. I hope you can lead our warriors to defeat the enemy and keep our country safe!"

Following the empress's order, the entire hall seemed to be stirred by an invisible force, and all the ministers responded in unison, and their morale was greatly boosted. General Chu Heng bowed deeply to the empress, then turned around and strode out of the Golden Throne Hall.

Under the blood-red afterglow of the setting sun, Chu Heng stood on the top of the imperial city, his armor rustling softly in the breeze, like a horn for an upcoming battle, foreshadowing the brewing of a storm. His eyes penetrated through the palace walls, as if he had seen through the changes in the distant situation, and a firm and unquestionable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The Three Kingdoms Alliance wants to seize our territory, and they deserve to be punished, but how can our soldiers in the capital be afraid of death?" Chu Heng's voice was deep and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of everyone present. His tone not only showed contempt for the enemy, but also contained deep trust in the soldiers' indestructible faith.

Hearing this, the generals and guards around were all in high spirits, with determination and expectation flashing in their eyes. They knew that Chu Heng was not only their commander, but also a beacon in their hearts, leading them to move forward bravely without fear of any challenge.

At this time, Xie Chaochao, the gentle yet thoughtful wise man, slowly walked into the crowd. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, his face was calm, but his eyes were shining with satisfaction and approval. He knew very well that Chu Heng's words were not only a declaration of war against the enemy, but also a great encouragement to the morale of the military and civilians in the capital.
