Female-to-male: I live on farming

The main general had died at the hands of the enemy, and his body was hung on the gun. For the Northern Army, it was a very shocking scene. Without the backbone, the rest of the people naturally surrendered.

One hundred thousand northern troops marched out in a mighty force, but were soon defeated and scattered by the eldest princess.

In this battle, the eldest princess became famous.

The entire Dayan, including the imperial court, can no longer underestimate her capabilities, and no one will think that the princess has few soldiers under her command.

When she was granted the title of Liangzhou, she went there almost alone. It would be more appropriate to say that she was demoted to Liangzhou rather than being granted the title.

Everyone in the capital knew that her team when she left the city had no soldiers at all. However, in just two years, she was able to develop to her current level, which shows that she had been thinking about rebellion for a long time.

The 100,000 northern troops failed to capture Yizhou, which means that the princess has at least 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers under her command. 40,000 to 50,000 troops, weapons and equipment, and food supplies are all considerable numbers, but she was able to raise such a large private army quietly.

The first battle of the expedition to Yizhou was a failure, and the court was furious.

But at the moment, there was nothing they could do. The nearest garrison to the capital was the Northern Army, and now the Northern Army's combat power was running low. Apart from the Northern Army, the only army that could be deployed the fastest was the Changnan Army, but the Changnan Army was sent by Zhao Yu to support the Zhenbei Army before the New Year.

The defense forces on other borders cannot be moved.

The imperial court was now caught in a dilemma. If it wanted to attack Yizhou and punish the princess, it could only dispatch the Changnan Army, but this would most likely give Qin an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and cause Jiaozhou to fall.

Or they could concentrate their forces to guard the northern border first, and then free up their hands to take Yizhou after repelling the Qin State. But it was still unknown what the princess would do during this period, whether she would send troops to attack the court.

Zhao Yu was faced with this choice at this time. When he went to court, the officials were divided into two factions. One faction advocated expelling the Qin State first to defend the northern border, while the other faction advocated pacifying the country before resisting foreign aggression and suppressing the civil strife in the Great Yan Dynasty first.

The two factions quarreled fiercely in the court every day, each with their own reasons.

Zhao Yu was so anxious that he was running around in circles, and he hated Jinyang to the core.

……

It took several days to clean up the battlefield and deal with the prisoners.

The corpses on the battlefield alone were piled up densely like several mountains of corpses.

In the past, when dead bodies were found on the battlefield, the bodies of our own troops would naturally be buried in graves. For the bodies of the enemy troops, there were generally two options.

One of them is naturally to dig several deep pits and bury them to prevent infection by the plague.

The other is to leave it alone, allowing the corpse to be eaten by birds, beasts, insects and ants, and eventually turn into bones.

The battlefield was not far from Xiaocheng, so they certainly couldn't be left alone. So they had to work hard to dig big holes in the cold winter. The ground was frozen in winter, making it very difficult to dig.

But since they had so many captives, they could just make the best use of them and let them be responsible for digging pits and disposing of the bodies.

Qin Ke heard that a lot of people died in this war. Li Nanqiao also said that the corpses were piled up like a mountain. As a result, he didn't even dare to go out of the city gate during that period of time.

Anyway, his current job is to provide training to Yizhou's Ministry of Agriculture. He has brought enough seeds from Liangzhou, and strives to fully launch new crop planting in Yizhou during the spring plowing season this year.

After the logistics of this battle were completely completed, Jinyang began to carry out the next combat deployment.

After these battles, there were only about 40,000 troops left out of the 50,000 they brought. After confiscating the Northern Army's equipment and weapons, they were no longer lacking in these areas. The main problem was the lack of soldiers!

So the first thing was to recruit soldiers, and the princess officially named this army the Black Armor Army. The Phoenix Feather Guard was not affiliated with the Black Armor Army, but was an independent organization, and only obeyed the orders of the Princess Jinyang.

Just when Jinyang was discussing matters with his subordinates, a man hurried in from outside, bowed and handed over the letter in both hands.

"Your Highness, this is news from the capital."

As soon as Zhao Yu launched the coup, Jinyang sent a message to her grandfather asking him to leave the capital as soon as possible and withdraw all her businesses in the capital. However, this did not mean that she had no backup plan in the capital.

The secret agent with a hidden identity would still deliver news from the capital to her.

After reading the letter in his hand, Jinyang gave it to Xiao Anyi and others and asked them to pass it around.

"Your Highness, what will the Seventh Prince choose?" Xiao Anyi asked after reading the news from the capital.

Jin Yang did not answer but asked: "If it were you, what would you choose?"

Xiao Anyi fell silent, with a very conflicted expression on his face. This was indeed a difficult decision to make, and it was no wonder that Zhao Yu had not made up his mind yet.

"If it were me, I would concentrate my forces to fight against Qin and quell the chaos in the north."

After a while, Xiao Anyi finally answered.

Jinyang was not surprised by her decision. After all, she was from the Northern Army. For them, guarding the Northern Border and protecting the safety of Dayan was the most important thing.

No matter how worrying the internal troubles are, they are the internal affairs of the Great Yan Dynasty. In short, the enemy must not be allowed to invade its territory.

"Yes, if it were my father, he would probably make the same choice and transfer garrison troops from other places at the same time." Jinyang has been in the court for many years and has figured out her father's style and personality.

"The Seventh Prince...?"

Jin Yang smiled and shook his head, saying, "Old Seven is different. As long as he doesn't sit on that position, the most important thing for him is to ascend to the throne. Therefore, maintaining his absolute advantage in the party struggle is the first thing he considers. He will never allow me to snatch the throne that is within his grasp."

"Your Highness, do you mean that the Seventh Prince will transfer back the Changnan Army to attack Yizhou directly?" Xiao Anyi restrained his expression and said in a deep voice.

"That's right," Jin Yang stood up and walked towards the sand table in the hall, looking down at Jiaozhou and Yizhou, "At this time, my grandfather should have arrived in Jiaozhou."

"Lord Xiao wants to contact the old members of the Zhenbei Army? But Lord Xiao has been away from the Zhenbei Army for many years, and there are not many old members left in the Zhenbei Army."

"So we need to be prepared for both situations," Jinyang said, inserting the flag in his hand into the Jiaozhou part of the sand table.

"Move the remaining troops from Liang Province to Jiao Province."

"But Your Highness, this move is too dangerous. If the Zhenbei Army and the Changnan Army turn their guns against us at the same time, wouldn't we lose more than we gain?" Xiao Anyi felt that this was too risky.

Of course, this is the worst possible scenario, but we should always prepare for the worst.

If what she worried about happened, not only would their Xuanjia Army be in danger, but the Qin State might also take the opportunity to cause chaos, and Jiaozhou would also be in danger.

Jin Yang had thought of this, and he tapped the sand table with his slender white fingers, and said calmly: "So the timing of selection is very important."
