The strongman's wife who traveled through time and space and became a young general

"Pass the order down. After entering the city, all soldiers are not allowed to harass the people at will. Anyone who violates the order will be killed on the spot!" Lin Qiuer's voice was calm and firm, and her order quickly reached the ears of every soldier in the army.

"General Li, you are responsible for the resettlement of the outer city, especially the soldiers injured in the siege. You must pay more attention to the resettlement of the civilians." Lin Qiuer whispered to a middle-aged man.

Uncle Li was a captain in the Lingao border army. Dissatisfied with General Li's corruption and his rampant style in Lingao, he contradicted him many times and was expelled from the border army by General Li.

Lin Qiuer had connections with the Gu family, so it didn't take much effort for her to recruit Uncle Li into the Nalan Army.

The six months of fighting made him stand out from a group of generals who had never been on the battlefield and became Lin Qiuer's right-hand man.

"Yes, witch doctor, I will be careful." Uncle Li bowed and accepted the order, watching Lin Qiuer and the others quickly disappear on the main street leading from the outer city of the imperial city to the inner city.

In the next few days, Lin Qiuer personally stayed in the palace and commanded the generals to guard the important places in the imperial city to prevent the remnants who remained in the city from taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.

He ordered the civil servants in the team to go out and subdue the low-level officials in the imperial city, supervise them to organize the books and volumes of various government offices, and then send all the organized materials to the palace for Lin Qiuer and his sister.

Orders were constantly transmitted from the imperial palace to various parts of the palace. Those who received the orders included civil servants from Lin Qiuer's team and minor officials in the imperial city.

The civil servants in the team knew Lin Qiuer's abilities, but those clerks who had never seen her before took the documents and looked at them carefully, and were so shocked that they cursed in their hearts.

I know that if I don't do my job seriously, it won't be easy to get away with it.

Everyone who received the order unconsciously had a feeling that there was a pair of eyes watching them from above their heads at all times.

This warning made the petty officials, who were trembling with fear after the city was broken, even more awe-inspiring, and they no longer dared to slack off.

Everything in the imperial city is moving in an orderly manner and in a good direction.

The Emperor Nanyue's spies who were hiding in various places in the imperial city watched helplessly as the chaotic imperial city returned to normal.

……

The siege of Nanyue Imperial City lasted for two whole months, and it was only possible with the help of the big ants under Lin Qiuer's command.

Soldiers who have made contributions in the siege will have the opportunity to be rewarded with additional merits and promoted to higher ranks, while the big ants are still hiding in the dark.

Before the war started, Lin Qiuer had people dig a big pit outside the imperial city. At that time, many people thought she was wasting military forces.

When more and more soldiers died on the battlefield, Lin Qiuer issued an order that all the bodies should be thrown into the big pit. Only then did they know the purpose of this big pit.

Lin Qiuer commanded the big ants to run under the corpse and devour the rotten flesh on the corpse from bottom to top.

These corpses have been piled together for two months, and under the continuous high temperature exposure, it is very easy for epidemics to breed.

In order to speed up the incineration process, Lin Qiuer had no choice but to do this.

If someone discovered this, her broken spine would probably be broken.

The ants, which were originally only the size of an adult's fist, have grown to the size of an adult man's head after being constantly fed by the corpses on the battlefield.

With the "crunching" sound of gnawing at the bottom of the corpse, not a single case of disease occurred during the two-month siege.

When the battle was won, Lin Qiuer announced that the bodies of the fallen soldiers would be cremated. On the day of cremation, everyone tied black cloth around their arms and stood solemnly beside a large pit thirty miles outside the imperial city.

An altar had been set up early beside the pit, with the table filled with three kinds of meat, various fruits and snacks.

When the incense and candles are lit, paper money floats in the air, swirling and falling, or is sucked into the burning flames and turned into ashes, or falls to the ground.

Lin Qiuer was wearing a black and white floor-length gown, a feather and bone bead crown, and her face was outlined with intricate patterns in black.

This is the formal attire worn by the Nalan witch doctor when offering sacrifices to the sky.

People of this era burn paper money, incense and candles, and sing eulogies.

This is what a witch doctor does.

Lin Qiuer, a half-baked witch doctor, vaguely remembered a poem in the Book of Songs about bells and drums, which were used to commemorate the dead soldiers, but after racking his brains, he could only figure out the second half.

There are lyrics, but there is no music.

She was so angry that she kept chanting "Amitabha".

Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind. If there is no song, then this song will come.

When the incense and candles were half burned, Lin Qiuer began to hum the tune of chanting Buddhist scriptures, "The drums and bells are beating the oars, the Huai River has three continents, and I am worried and sad. The virtuous and the gentleman are virtuous. The drums and bells are resounding, the harps and the zithers are playing, and the shengs and chimes are in unison. With elegance and southernness, with flutes, they are not presumptuous."

This tune sounds extremely sad when sung.

Many people who participated in the ceremony quietly wiped their wet eyes, with an inexplicable sadness flowing in their hearts.

When the ceremony was over, Lin Qiuer waved her hand, and the Nalan disciples, led by Lin Nancheng, came over carrying a stone tablet that was two people tall.

"One, two, three..." shouts rang out.

The stone tablet was pressed into the ground nine steps away from the pit.

When the stone tablet was erected, everyone looked up and saw that it was densely engraved with names, and in the center were three large blood-red characters: "Warrior's Monument".

Then there was another stone tablet as high as an adult's knee, inserted next to it, with the words "Dismount here" written on it.

The raging fire burned for four hours, and everyone stood there quietly, no one made a sound.

When the fire was extinguished, Lin Qiuer waved her hand and shouted, "The souls of the heroes have returned, add to the soil!"

After saying that, she leaned over, grabbed a handful of dirt, and threw it into the pit.

Seeing this, the people around followed Lin Qiuer's method and grabbed a handful of soil and threw it into the pit.

After everyone had spread a handful of soil, Lin Nancheng and other Nalan disciples and generals from each team picked up the shovels that had been prepared long ago and shoveled all the soil on the edge of the pit into the big pit one by one.

After the pit was filled, Lin Qiuer leaned over and inserted a stick of incense into the incense burner in front of the stone tablet.

The three kinds of meat, fruits, melons and snacks that were on the table just now were now quietly placed next to the incense and candle altar.

"Bow!" Lin Qiuer bowed with her hands clasped, and the people behind her followed suit.

After the ceremony was completed, Lin Qiuer and the others returned to the imperial city.

From today on, all the soldiers of the three armies have a fire in their hearts and are willing to follow Lin Qiuer until death.

Because they know that if they unfortunately die in battle one day, there will be a steady stream of incense offerings to them, so they will not be afraid of becoming a lonely ghost.

Half a month later, the Luan team sent back news from the front that Gu Anqing led his troops into Litai Prefecture, and Xiao Chengye was defeated again and fled to Yunyang Prefecture.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered Yunyang Prefecture, they encountered the Yu family's private army who had been waiting for a long time. The two sides fought a battle, both suffered losses, and now they have stopped fighting and rested.

The Gu family army led by Gu Anqing did not join the melee, but followed behind Xiao Chengye, obviously wanting to watch the fire from the other side of the river.

Lin Qiu'er couldn't help but laugh. Gu Anqing finally changed his upright and gentlemanly demeanor.

"Order the three armies to get ready immediately and set out for Yunyang Prefecture tomorrow morning to fight the lost dog. Hahaha..."

"Follow the witch doctor's orders!" The messenger left in a hurry after receiving the order. In less than an hour, the entire imperial city began to move again.
