"General Qin, just like I believe in you, you should also believe in me once." Lin Yuan smiled gently and firmly, "Besides, the two countries are at war, and we don't want to kill them. Even if he wants to harm me, he just sent troops for you reason."

Qin Du looked at him for a moment, and nodded lightly without further words.

She knew that Lin Yuan seemed gentle, but the stubbornness in his character was no better than her own, and the words had already reached this point, if she still didn't agree, it would definitely hurt his self-esteem.

Two days later, Qin Du's army overwhelmed the border, and Lin Yuan entered the Northern Qi royal city alone.

In the Chinese military tent, everyone anxiously waited for his news.The sun rose and the moon sank, and two more days passed, but Lin Yuan never came back.

"General Qin, send troops." It was Xie Chengying who spoke first.Along the way, he grew up a lot, becoming more and more calm and self-reliant, Qin Du never thought that he would be the first to lose his temper.

"There is no news from Xiang Lin, we can't wait any longer."

Qin Du crossed his fingers and propped his chin, silent in thought.Seeing her hesitation, Wu Qi chimed in and said, "General Qin, I've been meaning to say this for a long time. If the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou had troubles in Northern Qi, then—"

"Stop talking, I know it." Qin Du frowned and stood up.

"The notice goes on, tonight at Xu time, the war will officially begin."

After everyone exited the tent, Qin Du's back softened and he leaned back on the chair, his voice hoarse.

"We still have to fight."

Ye Zheng came over and gently supported her shoulder: "Don't be afraid, Lin Yuan is so smart, he will be fine."

"I hope so." Qin Du closed his eyes and held Ye Zheng's hand, "You should rest for a while, you won't be able to sleep tonight."

"It's okay, you just need to take a good rest. I was injured so badly before, and I haven't recovered well."

"Listen to you." Qin Du didn't want to make Ye Zheng worry, so he raised his head and smiled at her. Just as he was about to get up, he heard the commotion outside. Wu Qi opened the curtain carelessly and was about to shout at the top of his voice. Seeing that they were still holding hands He quickly retreated and shouted through the curtain: "General Qin, the prime minister is back!"

"Invite him in quickly!" Qin Du swept away the previous lethargy, smiled happily at Ye Zheng, and kissed her loudly with his arms around her neck.

As soon as Lin Yuan came in and saw this scene, he covered his eyes and went out again.

Ye Zheng rubbed Qin Du's hair, and smiled outside the tent: "Okay, come in quickly."

Only then did Lin Yuan gently lift the curtain, looked into Qin Du's expectant eyes, and bowed to her: "General Qin, Lin Yuan is useless, after all, this battle cannot be avoided."

"It's okay, as long as you come back safely. I'm ready to go to war tonight." Qin Du helped him up nonchalantly, and excitedly grabbed his shoulders, "We're all so worried about why we've been here for so long."

"Northern Qi's territory is small, but the power in the court is far more complicated than I imagined. The Northern Qi King has no real power at all, so even if he agrees with my idea, it is useless." Lin Yuan took a sip of tea and only picked out the important ones and said, " He has many brothers, the eldest brother died young, the second brother controls the military power, the fourth brother controls the salt and iron, the fifth brother roams the officialdom, and the three of them are fighting for power, and they have almost emptied him."

"You mean, if we go to war, maybe we will help him." Qin Du also sat down and thought carefully.

"Yes, he promised me that if we can defeat his second brother and return Beiqi to a clear state, then it's all right to surrender to Da Zhou."

Qin Du frowned. The king of Northern Qi had a good plan. On the surface, he was thinking about the overall situation of Northern Qi, but in essence he wanted to seize the opportunity to use their hands to get rid of powerful officials.The word "surrender" is worth pondering. Whether to dedicate Northern Qi to Da Zhou or just make it a vassal state depends on what he says.After the victory, if this person is allowed to stay in Northern Qi, it must be a hidden danger.

"General Qin, I know what you are worried about." Lin Yuan nodded the table, "What the Holy Majesty means is that in order to stabilize the hearts of the people, it is best to save these people's lives. When the north is completely cleared, he will send someone he can trust. If you come here to guard, you will definitely keep an eye on these deposed emperors, and you can give them a leisurely job, but they will not have any chance to return to the country."

"That's good." Since Xiao Jiu had already planned, it was not Qin Du's turn to ask.Although the two have a deep relationship, Qin Du has always had a good grasp of proportion.It's not that he's afraid of repeating the mistakes of the previous generation, it's just the tacit understanding of mutual respect between Xiao Jiu and her.

She breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Lin Yuan's dusty appearance, and sighed, "Mr. Lin is working too hard, you should go and rest quickly, Qin Du will end the Northern Expedition tonight."

In the past two days, Lin Yuan has been dealing with various forces in Northern Qi. Outside the city walls are the soldiers and horses of Da Zhou. And when he enters the city alone, everyone's eyes are on him. tired.At the moment, he no longer refused, nodded to Qin Du and left the tent of the Chinese army.

Finally, there were only the two of them left, Ye Zheng leaned over and kissed Qin Du's ear: "Don't worry now."

"Well, it's best if he comes back safely." Qin Du leaned his body on Ye Zheng's shoulder, "I will definitely lose control if I fight like that again."

Ye Zheng hugged her tightly and kissed her heart lightly: "Don't be afraid. Soon, soon we will be able to live a normal life."

That night Qin Du asked the soldiers to light all the tents behind them to show their determination to fight to the end.The line of fire stretched on and on, until the night sky was covered with a layer of smoky purple.

Zhou Jun came from the flames of Liaotian, the drums blared, and the horns blared. Their momentum was far stronger than any previous battle.The army led by Qin Du seemed to be the same as herself, extremely strong, fierce, and extremely sharp.

Ye Zheng followed with his horse, watching Qin Du wearing dark golden mountain armor, with the crimson helmet tassel on his head fluttering with the wind along with her long hair.His appearance is bright, his eyes are wide and his eyebrows are sparse, and his smooth chin is slightly raised at a proud angle.Looking back at the flashing firm eyes behind her, Ye Zheng suddenly felt that catching up with Qin Du back then should be the most correct decision she made in her life.

If it weren't for Qin Du, Ye Zheng, who grew up listening to Jiangnan minor tunes, wouldn't know that there are still such a group of people in the world who compose such an exciting song of breaking the formation with their blood and sincerity.

There are many nomadic peoples in the north, and this royal city is the barrier of the Northern Qi Dynasty. After capturing it, Da Zhou will be able to gnaw the most difficult bone in the north.

Qin Du tightened his grip on the spear in his hand, and took a deep breath.She is still like this, once she is in such an environment, her body will be very restless involuntarily.

Northern Qi didn't expect them to raid overnight, and only then opened the city gate, and the soldiers quickly lined up, ready to fight.Qin Du's eyes showed a bit of admiration, and he shouted at the thousands of troops behind him: "The Northern Qi Dynasty is different from Qiang Yue, cheer me up!"

"Yes!" The response was like thunder.

The morale of Zhou's army is extremely high now, and there is no need for her to say anything more, as if this is just an ordinary military training.Qin Du was very satisfied, then turned his head and called softly: "A Zheng, remember to follow me."

"Don't worry." Ye Zheng drew his long sword out of its sheath, "Didn't you hear that the fourth son of the Ye family's sword control skills are unparalleled in the world."

Qin Du chuckled, raised his spear and shouted, "Siege!"

The combat policy has already been implemented. At this moment, there are thousands of troops and horses, and the momentum is like a broken bamboo. Qin Du is in the lead, as if entering the land of no one, and Ye Zheng is right behind.The cooperation is seamless, just like the afternoon of the wolf hunting meeting many years ago.

After a few rounds, Qin Du smiled and wiped the blood from Ye Zheng's face, then turned his head and shouted: "The left wing is too slow! What are the archers doing!"

"Did you hear that, General Qin thinks you are too slow!" Wu Qi was so excited, he stabbed left and right, rushed to the left wing to supervise the battle, and snapped his fingers at Qin Du.

Qin Du tightened the reins, and spun the spear in his hand at high speed, sweeping away the miscellaneous soldiers around him one by one.Then immediately change the bow and arrow in hand, take the bow and string it, and shoot it instantly.Her bow and arrows were all coated with kerosene, and she shot through the torches on the city wall at the guards, and soon a hot line of fire lit up on the tower.Ye Zheng stayed with her every step of the way, and anyone who dared to approach Qin Du was beheaded by her sword.

Blood and fire, screams and shouts, beacon smoke and drums, this is a feast of war.

The general of the Northern Qi Dynasty had observed Qin Du for a long time, and at this moment he finally galloped towards Qin Du. Qin Du caught a glimpse of his movement, turned around and shot an arrow without hesitation, and was knocked down as expected.

Qin Du raised his eyebrows indifferently, and instantly seemed to be aroused with infinite enthusiasm. He buckled the longbow on the saddle, and raised his gun to confront him.

The barrels of the two long spears rubbed against each other rapidly, and the heads of the spears were entangled and then separated immediately, making Qin Du's mouth numb.With a press of the wrist, he broke away from the other party's entanglement. He raised his gun and stabbed again, but was caught by his elbow again, unable to move for a moment.

"They all said that General Qin of the Great Zhou was stronger than the wolves on the prairie. It turned out that they were all trying to trick children."

Qin Du was ridiculed by him, but he didn't feel annoyed. He jumped onto his horse, grabbed the gun body and shook violently, which immediately knocked his entire arm unconscious.The horse under him was frightened, and raised its hooves with a long hiss. Qin Du took this opportunity to pull out his spear, pulled the reins of Treading Xue who had rushed to him, and jumped back, and even kicked the horse of the Northern Qi general in the chaos. Butt kick.

The general grabbed the rein and spun on the spot for a long time before he stabilized his figure. Qin Du didn't move, just stared at him like he was watching a monkey show.

The soldiers around who noticed the situation couldn't help laughing out loud. The general with disheveled hair on his temples screamed to the sky, swung the spear in his hand and swept it in a huge arc, Qin Du leaned back to avoid it, crossed his legs His spear was clamped, and he felt that he would not let go, so he pulled hard again, dragging him off the horse with the gun.

It can be said that Qin Du grew up on horseback, and Taxue is a first-class horse, and she has a close relationship with her. Everything happened in an instant. The general's chest forced him to spit out old blood and almost fainted.

Use the way of the other to treat the other body.

Qin Du stopped looking at him, exchanged a brief kiss with Ye Zheng, and joined the battle group again.

After all, Northern Qi was different from Qiang Yue. Even if the general fell, the soldiers still did not waver.This bitter battle lasted until the sky gradually turned white. Qin Du could have stopped earlier, but she had to conquer the Northern Qi people in a single battle, so she kept up the continuous offensive, knocking out the last trace of fighting spirit of the Northern Qi soldiers. If it collapses, the winner will finally be determined.

Fighting all night, Zhou Jun watched the red sun rise, and he didn't know who would start first. Everyone went to grab the Qin flag carried by the flag bearer. Wu Qi kicked them away one by one, grabbed the flag and waved it to the east. He smiled and grinned, tears streaming down his face.

Qin Du's body was covered in blood, both from his enemies and from himself.This night, she not only had to concentrate on fighting the general, but also had to keep an eye on the battle situation and dispatch commands, and she was already extremely tired at this time.Looking at Zhou Jun's jubilant face, she felt as if a big rock had finally been unloaded in her heart, and she immediately relaxed, almost unable to sit still.Ye Zheng jumped onto her horse, it was no surprise that he was walking on the snow, he flicked his tail and didn't move.

Holding her in his arms and watching the sunrise with her, Ye Zheng's eyes were sour, but his heart was also relieved.

"It's all over at last, isn't it?"

"Well, it's all over." Qin Du stretched out his hand to touch her face, "Going further, it will be extremely cold and uninhabited places."

Hearing her hoarse voice, Ye Zheng grabbed her hand distressedly: "Tired?"

"Yeah, I'm so tired." Qin Du leaned all his weight on Ye Zheng, and his voice gradually became weaker.

"If you're tired, go to sleep for a while, and we can go home when we wake up."

When she said this, Qin Du rubbed his eyes and shook his head: "No, I have to lead troops into the city. I can't sleep."

Ye Zheng couldn't resist her, so he sighed and brushed her hair, and he let it go.

After entering the city, Qin Du vigorously replaced all the city defense troops and imperial guards with soldiers from the Great Zhou Dynasty. After negotiating with the King of Northern Qi, Lin Yuan accepted his king's seal treasure book and map according to the previous agreement, and came to say goodbye to Qin Du .

"General Qin, Lin Yuan has to go back first. As the prime minister, I feel very sorry to have left the Holy One alone to handle political affairs for too long. Afterwards, I have to prepare celebrations for you, and the Holy Majesty must be too busy."

Qin Du nodded. After the war, she still had a lot of things to do, such as counting and coordinating the soldiers, and arranging defensive forces. These Lin Yuan can't help, and she will never intervene. She should really let him go back.

"Mr. Lin came all the way because of my injury, and took on the responsibility of being a military adviser. It's really hard work for you." Qin Du bowed deeply to him, "I will send a team of people to escort you back to Lin'an. Feel free to mention any other needs."

"Why be so alien, the Holy One sent me to take care of you, it's just that Lin Yuan didn't disgrace his life, and besides that, he didn't help much." Lin Yuan waved his hands, smiled lightly, and clasped his fists at Qin Du.

"In this way, Lin Yuan is waiting for Wang Shi to return triumphantly in Lin'an."
