There were not many people guarding the food supplies. After all, this town had always been easy to defend and difficult to attack. The enemy had never expected that the old Duke of Zhenguo would suddenly launch an attack, and do it so flawlessly and without anyone noticing.

The night was as dark as ink, covering the earth and bringing a mysterious atmosphere to the whole world. Zhu Chun led the team to sneak into the enemy's food and grass area quietly. Their steps were light and cautious, shuttling between the grass and the woods, like ghosts. The enemy's guards patrolled vigilantly, but Zhu Chun and others successfully avoided the enemy's vigilance with their superb lurking skills.

After finding a place with an upwind position, they carefully took out the small medicine bottle from their arms and used the previous method to knock out all the soldiers guarding the grain. However, in order to ensure that there would be no mistakes, Zhu Chun immediately ordered several people to drag the knocked-out enemy soldiers to the nearby woods and tie them up to avoid being exposed.

Afterwards, they quickly changed into enemy uniforms, disguised themselves as enemies and continued to stay here to "guard" the food and supplies.

However, now these food supplies are their food supplies.

All they had to do was wait for the right moment to bring these precious supplies safely back to their camp.

Not long after, there was a sudden sound of fighting from the direction of the commander's tent, but the sound was not loud. Zhu Chun thought that this might be the vanguard led by Prince Jing. Although he and his subordinates were very worried, they still held on to the food and grass and did not dare to leave easily. Because this was a military order that must be strictly enforced.

After a while, the sound of fighting became louder and louder, and there was even a flash of fire in the distance. As expected, two knights rushed towards them in panic. They didn't even have time to dismount, and they shouted loudly while running: "The deputy general has ordered, quickly burn the granary and evacuate! The deputy general has ordered, quickly burn the granary and evacuate!!"

Then, the two men turned their horses around, whipped their horses, and rode away quickly. Zhu Chun did not kill the messenger, but led his soldiers to pretend to burn the granary. The man looked back and then did not look back. He galloped in a certain direction and soon disappeared into the night.

Just when the fight was going on, Zhu Chun had cleverly sent people to secretly count all the food and grass, and successfully found several vehicles for transporting food and grass. After careful consideration and accurate estimation, he felt that the time had come. So he gave his men a look, suggesting that they start loading food on the vehicles. Of course, if they were unfortunately discovered, he had already prepared a response plan - just claim that all this was ordered by the deputy general to come and collect and transport the food and grass. In this way, it can be covered up seamlessly for a while.

Fortunately, what he waited for was not someone sent by the enemy to confirm whether the food and grass had been burned, but Leng Qinghuan who came with a group of people. She was not a member of the vanguard, and the battle over there was in full swing, so the old Duke Zhenguo asked her to come as soon as possible to meet Zhu Chun and others.

From a distance, Leng Qinghuan saw Zhu Chun wearing the uniform of the enemy army, and the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. Based on her understanding of Zhu Chun, they must have successfully seized the food and grass. How great! It's great that he was not injured! The man that Leng Qinghuan had set her eyes on was indeed both wise and brave!

Their child... No... It had been nearly two months since that incident, and her period had come on time as usual. So, there was no child at all. Perhaps, she was just not blessed enough.

After Leng Qinghuan briefly explained the battle situation to Zhu Chun, she took over Zhu Chun's work without hesitation. She knew that time was tight and they had to race against time, so she urged Zhu Chun and others to change their clothes quickly to avoid accidentally hurting their own people.

Zhu Chun stared at the woman in front of him, whose armor was stained with blood and whose eyes were firm but full of admiration, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart. However, on this tense battlefield, he could not express his emotions too much, so he just patted her shoulder gently and led everyone to the warehouse where the clothes were hidden to change equipment.

The ensuing battle went extremely smoothly, and the army successfully captured the city. Afterwards, they rested for a while inside the city, and then continued to pursue the victory without stopping, showing an unstoppable posture, as if they were determined to take the enemy's entire country into their pockets.

This war that had lasted for many years unexpectedly took a surprising turn at this time. The enemy army collapsed across the board and was doomed to defeat. The enemy had no choice but to send envoys to seek peace, expressing their willingness to hand over all the cities captured by the Zhenguo Gong to the Yuwen family, and promised to pay tribute to the Yuwen family for ten years, offering no less than ten thousand taels of gold every year, and at the same time promised never to invade the Yuwen family's territory again.

This victory is nothing short of a miracle. It will completely change the war situation on the border and bring unprecedented peace and prosperity to the Yuwen family and the entire country.

After conquering this place, the remaining things should be handled by the old Duke of Zhenguo. Prince Jing knew that he had completed his mission, so he decided to retire with Zhu Yu and other generals and soldiers and prepare to return to the court. This war lasted for several years, and the soldiers guarding the border experienced countless life-and-death tests, and finally ushered in the dawn of victory. However, behind this victory is endless sacrifice and dedication.

Looking far ahead, there is a battlefield filled with ruins and smoke. Countless fierce battles have taken place here, and every inch of land is soaked with blood and tears. Now, they have finally succeeded in capturing this land, but this does not mean that things are over.

Although they had achieved a temporary victory, there were still more challenges waiting for them in the future. The post-disaster reconstruction and recuperation of the captured cities were urgently waiting for them to do. He had to return to the capital to report the battle situation to the emperor and discuss with other ministers how to deal with the next situation.

Yu Wen stayed in the frontier, a decision that was both unexpected and reasonable.

Late at night the day before the army returned to the capital, Yu Wen and Prince Jing had a long conversation in the tent. As for what they talked about specifically, even the closest secret guards could not hear clearly. It is only known that when the army set out to return, Yu Wen chose to stay and got a small official position under the old Duke of Zhenguo, mainly responsible for the improvement and research and development of weapons. Since he did not sign a contract to sell himself, and Prince Jing had already exchanged him for Zhang Ling, although it was only temporary, but Zhu Yu knew that he was the original male protagonist, like a hot potato, it was a blessing to be able to throw it away, so he might as well stay. Therefore, Zhu Yu did not say too much.

However, when she went to Prince Jing's house for dinner, she naturally took Zhang Ling, who was serving Prince Jing, with her.

Xiaoying was too stubborn. If she didn't take Zhang Ling with her, it would take a long time for the couple to be reunited. Zhu Yu saw clearly how deeply Zhang Ling loved Xiaoying, and there was really no reason not to help them.

Li Rouyuan didn't want to go back to Beijing with him. After all, they were already home, so why bother? But someone had seen through her thoughts and stayed in her tent like a child who couldn't get candy, coaxing her in a soft voice, saying that if she didn't leave, he would definitely not leave either.

She felt a little annoyed.

But in order to take her away, this person did more than that. In order to show his determination and sincerity, this person even vowed to her again and again that he would change his position from now on and follow Prince Jing wholeheartedly.

She felt that he was either sick or had some conspiracy. Who would do this for a woman?

But there was an idea in her mind that made her unconsciously want to go back and see if he did what he said, or, to watch his performance.

Among the four female apprentices brought by Ai Yun, two also chose to stay at the border. They felt that treating the wounded made them feel a sense of accomplishment and presence. The original military doctors at the border were also willing to take them, so after discussing it, the two asked Ai Yun and Zhu Yu to stay. Ai Yun and Zhu Yu had no objection. Life is short, and it doesn't matter how you live or where you live. As long as you feel comfortable, it's good enough.
