Chapter 185 Recovering the Northern Army

This battle lasted for a whole day and night. The 100,000 troops of Northern Qin were almost wiped out by the joint attack of the Xuanjia Army and the Zhenbei Army. Only a few small groups of defeated soldiers escaped.

Jinyang also led the charge and fought bravely until her armor was stained red with blood. When she killed the enemies, the blood even spurted out and splashed onto her hair, which has now dried up, dyeing her ink-black hair into dark red.

She had a minor injury on her wrist, which was caused by the fight with Northern Qin general Tulu. Northern Qin was a brave country, and Tulu was indeed a great general of the Northern Qin army of 100,000, with great strength and bravery.

When Jin Yang fought with him, he had been fighting for a long time and was somewhat exhausted, otherwise it would have been difficult for Jin Yang to defeat him. Even so, she had paid a considerable price.

After all, in terms of physical fitness, men are naturally stronger than women. What's more, Tulu's beard almost covers his face. He is tall and strong, a whole head taller than Jinyang.

Jinyang was an expert in martial arts, and was able to defeat him on equal terms thanks to his agility and flexibility.

The battle finally came to an end. Lord Xiao was old, and although his spirit was still good, he was not as brave as before. He did not participate in the battle, but led the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

When he came, he saw that Jinyang's white jade face was stained with dried blood and dirt, which was very conspicuous. He strode over to check if she was injured.

"Grandfather, I'm fine. I just hurt my wrist. It's nothing serious." Jin Yang didn't take it seriously. She had suffered many more serious injuries on the battlefield in the past.

Lord Xiao glared at him, frowned, and criticized him: "You are not the only one now. If anything happens to you, all your efforts will be wasted. Go back and treat your wounds quickly. I will watch over here!"

Seeing that he was really angry, Jinyang had no choice but to obey him and bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Grandfather."

Jinyang returned to the tent under the escort of the Fengyu Guards. Her tent was located in the center of the entire Xuanjia Army camp.

The maid boiled hot water for her to bathe and wash off the blood on her body, and the maid was also responsible for washing the armor she took off.

At this time, she was simply wearing pajamas and a snow fox fur cloak. The cloak was made of a whole rare snow fox fur. The fur was as white as snow and felt soft and warm. The collar and cuffs were embroidered with a phoenix totem in gold thread, which looked lifelike and spread its wings as if ready to fly, highlighting her noble status.

The charcoal brazier not far from her feet was still crackling with sparks, and the air around her was warm.

Although it is already the second half of March, Jiaozhou is located in the northernmost part of Dayan. It snowed half a month ago and the temperature is still very low.

The maid stood behind her holding a clean handkerchief and wiping her wet long hair, while Jinyang stared deeply at the military affairs and maps on the table.

There was also a military doctor on her right side treating the wound on her right wrist.

"Your Highness, what should we do with the Northern Qin general Tulu?" Li Nanqiao also came over to report after simply treating his wound.

"At noon tomorrow, gather the entire army, especially the Zhenbei Army, and behead him in front of all the soldiers, and hang his body in front of the military camp. I want all the soldiers to see clearly the consequences of invading the territory of Great Yan."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Jin Yang looked up at her and saw that the knife wound on her cheek had just stopped bleeding. He said, "You should go and have a rest. There are people guarding my tent."

……

At noon the next day, the captured Tulu was beheaded in front of the entire army.

The moment the head fell to the ground, the entire army cheered, especially the Zhenbei Army, some even cried with excitement.

How many of them, how many civilians died at the hands of this man, and now the eldest princess has just arrived in the northern border, and she has led them to a great victory over Northern Qin, and even beheaded Tulu, the invincible bravest of the Northern Qin army, on the spot, and his head was hung in front of their military camp, and passers-by could see it just by looking up.

Jinyang was standing on a high platform, which was just a simple platform made of wooden boards. She was looking down at the soldiers below. Her excellent eyesight allowed her to clearly see the expressions on their faces.

Under her deliberate order, the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army were positioned in the center of the army.

"The Northern Qin invaded the border and marched straight in within a few months, capturing thirteen cities in Jiaozhou. Now the 100,000-strong Northern Qin army has been completely annihilated. I intend to continue the northern expedition, recover the mountains and rivers, and rebuild the northern defense line. General Qin, I would like to ask you here, do the Zhenbei Army want to obey the court? Or do they want to follow me to recover the thirteen cities in Jiaozhou?"

Qin Zheng was still immersed in excitement at this moment, and still felt a little unbelievable that the dilemma in the northern border that had troubled him for so long was so easily solved by the princess.

Hearing the princess' sudden question, he was stunned for a moment, then he looked up and saw Tulu's head hanging not far away. He clasped his fists and said, "The duty of the Zhenbei Army is to protect the safety of the northern border. It is our responsibility to recover the country!"

This statement is somewhat unclear.

Jin Yang raised his eyebrows and did not let him go. He continued to ask: "Now the court calls me a rebel. There is the Northern Army in front and the Changnan Army in the back. They are all under the order of the court to attack me. It is estimated that the Changnan Army is currently facing my Xuanjia Army. If one day, the court orders the Zhenbei Army to attack me, what will you do?"

She rushed to the northern border with half of the Black Armor Army, leaving Xiao Anyi with the remaining troops to guard Yizhou and welcome the Changnan Army.

This question is sharp and direct.

When she first arrived in the northern border, she did not force Qin Zheng's Zhenbei Army to express its position, but waited until she had led the Zhenbei Army to a great victory before suddenly asking the question, because she wanted them to see the power of her Xuanjia Army.

After seeing the brave general's cannon again, who would dare to have any uneasy thoughts?

"I am the eldest daughter of the late Emperor Mingde, and the heir of the Zhao family. Now my father has been poisoned and is unconscious, and the seventh prince Zhao Yu is in control of the government. I want to clean up the court and save my father."

Jin Yang's eyes became sharp, his thin lips pursed tightly, and he said sternly: "Or do you think that I, as a woman, cannot succeed the throne?"

As soon as these words came out, the Fengyu Guards behind her all looked solemn, their hands tightly gripping the hilts of the swords at their waists.

It seems that as long as someone says "no", they will cut it off.

Qin Zheng turned his head and looked at the soldiers behind him, only to see them staring at him excitedly, the meaning was self-evident. After all, he still remembered how the imperial court had treated the Zhenbei Army harshly over the years, and now that they could eat and wear warm clothes with the princess, who wouldn't be happy?

Qin Zheng finally replied: "It is only natural for a son to inherit his father's business. Your Highness the Princess is wise and brave, so she should inherit the throne. The Zhenbei Army is willing to follow Your Highness the Princess."

Jinyang stood with his hands behind his back, and finally showed a satisfied expression.
