Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

What the Oirat and Tatar are currently fighting for is mainly the control of Kulun.

The Oirat was not completely unprepared for the 100,000 soldiers loaned by Chu Shiyu. So far, they had not allowed them to get close to the main battlefield. The targets given were all barren lands, which were gathering places for the Tatars to hide during the winter.

The current base of the 100,000 soldiers is a desert called Mandalay.

The land in Mandalay is barren, but its location is critical. One hundred thousand soldiers stationed here can prevent the Tatars from bypassing the Oirat Mongols to the rear of the Oirat Mongols to a certain extent.

So now it is equivalent to the Oirat attacking from the west, Chu Shiyu blocking and harassing from the south, and King Kang driving them away from the southeast, attacking the Tatars from three angles, while the three parties maintain delicate contact with each other.

Clusters of yurts come into view again.

"They look no different from the Wala tribe, don't they?" A pair of almond-shaped eyes looked around through the holes in the cotton cover.

"They are different regimes that split and reorganized after the fall of the previous dynasty. They are all nomadic peoples, so naturally their habits are not much different." Chu Shiyu explained while looking at the person next to him who was wrapped like a rice dumpling with helplessness and amusement.

It was daytime, and around the defeated Tatar tribe, there were also many women and children busy working.

Liu Rusi looked at them and felt that their clothing and appearance were not much different from those of the previous Wala...

She couldn't help but lower her voice and asked quietly: "Even if the Khan of Wala ordered it, can the warriors of Wala really bite these similar people..."

"Of course they resist, otherwise they wouldn't want us for food. But when they get hungry to a certain extent, let alone those with similar appearance, allies, or even from the same tribe..."

Chu Shiyu was halfway through her speech when she carefully tried to discern the look in her almond-shaped eyes. Her face was covered by cotton cloth, making it even more difficult to detect her emotions.

Liu Rusi also realized his inquiry and said solemnly: "I'm just asking, you don't have to satisfy my every emotion."

"Don't change your decision on national affairs because of my emotions! Otherwise, wouldn't I become Bao Si in the story of the princes playing tricks with beacons?!"

Now that their relationship is getting closer, Liu Rusi is speaking more frankly.

Chu Shiyu pondered for a moment, put himself in the perspective of King You of Zhou and Bao Si, and asked himself, it is not impossible for him to tease the princes to make her laugh... Of course, he would definitely be scolded if he said this!

"I didn't realize you cared so much about your reputation?" Chu Shiyu asked with some surprise.

Liu Rusi glanced at him and scolded, "I don't expect to be remembered for generations, but I don't want to be remembered for generations either!"

Chu Shiyu paused, and said softly with a guilty conscience: "But if I get entangled with you, won't it also ruin your reputation?"

Liu Rusi snorted lightly and didn't take it seriously.

"It is unfair to judge a woman's reputation based on her marriage history. Will people spit on a man because he has had several wives and many women? Why should I care about the wrong concept of honor and disgrace?"

As she spoke, Liu Rusi walked towards the camp and shifted her attention: "It is best to place the medical tent in a place where the wounded can be easily transported, but it needs to be a relatively quiet, safe, and clean environment."

"We have to quickly decide on a location and put in the medical supplies, such as disinfectant, soap, surgical tools, etc. Hot and cold water must be prepared at all times, so that in case of an emergency, treatment will not be delayed!"

Chu Shiyu had no choice but to follow. After all, she was stubborn. She looked gentle on the outside and could deal with different situations in different ways, but her inner will had never wavered... She even eroded the environment bit by bit to suit her will.

……

"I feel like I'm a peace ambassador. Wherever I go, there will be peace..."

The breath left her face and dissipated into a white mist. Liu Rusi didn't know whether she should be happy or disappointed...

After hurrying all the way, they finally arrived at the place where the combat troops were, but it turned out that the entire Mobei had ceased fighting... Needless to say, Chu Shiyu must have expected this.

A tall and somewhat thin soldier nearby laughed a few times and said in a strange, hoarse voice: "The twelfth lunar month is the coldest time on the grassland, and it is especially cold this year."

"It is because they expect this winter to be difficult that the Oirat and Tatars started to move south and prepare to invade Daxia."

"Last month, hundreds of our horses froze to death. Now it is the twelfth lunar month. Even if the northern tribes are cold-resistant, they will still freeze to death if they march in this weather. Naturally, all parties have stopped fighting."

The strange voice became clearer as it spoke. Liu Rusi couldn't help but ask in a low voice with some amusement: "Fang Qiu, are you sure no one knows you are a woman?"

"My name is Fang Dong!"

Fang Qiu lowered his voice again and quickly explained in a low voice: "Except for His Royal Highness Prince Duan and Qin Tao, no one knows! If you hadn't come, I haven't even taken a shower in the past few months, how could I have been discovered?"

Liu Rusi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Although Fang Qiu was tall and her thick military uniform didn't reveal her female figure...but her delicate features and eyebrows made it clear that she was different from those rough men. Moreover, her voice was always giving her away...

Without exposing her "role-playing", Liu Rusi changed the subject and asked, "What about Fang Dong... How have you been since you joined the army?"

"Hehe, that's naturally outstanding. He captured two enemy leaders in the first battle! And he made contributions in every battle behind the scenes. If I wasn't afraid to be too ostentatious, I would at least be a captain of a thousand men now!" Fang Qiu was so proud that he forgot to lower his voice.

Liu Rusi paused and advised: "Why not publicize it? It's a pity to have made contributions but not get the due rewards."

"Being able to fight in battle is my only wish. What should I regret?"

Seeing Fang Qiu's indifferent expression, Liu Rusi couldn't help but feel inferior. In comparison, it seemed that she was too utilitarian...

"Hehehe, and there's someone who's suffered more than me!" Fang Qiu suddenly laughed with glee.

"*** wrote several times to summon Qin Tao back, but Qin Tao said he would not reply. When he heard that Prince Duan wanted to lend 100,000 soldiers to Wala, he simply asked the Qin Army to write to *** saying that he was missing! Hahaha!"

"There are 50,000 Qin family soldiers here, but he hides in my camp and refuses to leave! Every time he goes into the battlefield, he only cares about fighting and killing, and never cares about military merits. Yet now he is still a big-time soldier under me!" Fang Qiu smiled more and more gloatingly.

Liu Rusi pondered for a moment, then said quietly, "He is already the Prince of Changtai. If nothing unexpected happens, he will inherit the Qin Army in the future. What impact will it have on him whether or not to report military achievements?"

Fang Qiu suddenly became depressed as if he had lost his temper, and muttered: "But you also know that if I am promoted to deputy general, I may have to present rewards to the emperor, and then it would be deceiving the emperor..."

"Is there a law that clearly states that it is deceiving the emperor for a woman to serve as a deputy general? If you then accept the reward with your natural beauty as a woman, would that also be considered deceiving?" Liu Rusi asked back.

Fang Qiu frowned as he pondered: "There is no such law, but the army only accepts men. I, a woman, appeared in the hall as a deputy general..."

"Could the emperor ignore your great contributions and punish you severely just because you are a woman?" Liu Rusi asked hypothetically.

"There will definitely not be severe punishment. I guess there will be no punishment for the Fang family's sake." Fang Qiu was sure that the emperor relied on the Fang family.

But then she shook her head and said, "But there is a high possibility that I won't be rewarded. I will be arrested by my family and put under custody, and I won't be able to return to the army! If I have no chance to fight on the battlefield from now on, it would be better not to receive the reward in the first place!"

"If that's what you think, then you're right..."

Liu Rusi sighed and asked, "Do you think Princess Taihua really thinks Qin Tao is missing?"

Fang Qiu immediately judged: "How is it possible! If Qin Tao is really missing, the *** would have driven General Wei Yu to the northwest long ago. They would not stop until they found him and plowed the northwest thoroughly!"

"What about you?" Liu Rusi asked again.

Fang Qiu was stunned. She was confused by the situation, or maybe she subconsciously avoided the question. But now that Liu Rusi had pointed it out, she could no longer deceive herself...

The disguised girl pulled the corner of her mouth and became even more depressed: "Then what can I do..."

Liu Rusi smiled and said, "The imperial reward should be given after the war is completely over, right?"

"Well... for sure. We can't just go back and claim the reward halfway through the fight..." Fang Qiu responded with a sigh.

"If you are destined to go back."

The almond eyes were smiling, and it was a look of encouragement: "Why not seize the only opportunity and show your talents to the fullest?"

Yingxiu raised her eyebrows, a little light flashing: "You mean..."

"What if there is a reward? If you have outstanding achievements, will the chances of returning to the army be greater?"

"That's right! Why should I look ahead and behind? There will always be a way out when the car reaches the mountain!"

Yingmei raised her eyebrows again, and Fang Qiu was full of energy again. He put his arm around Liu Rusi's shoulders and praised her endlessly: "I feel that you are just what I like! You are indeed my life confidant!"

"Cough..." A sudden cough sounded!

When they turned around, they saw Prince Duan with a gloomy face, staring at them coldly. To be precise, it was Fang Qiu's hand!

Although he didn't know why, Fang Qiu instinctively let go and flirted...

Behind Prince Duan, Lu Daqing stopped pretending to cough and shouted sternly, "Fang Dong from the Third Battalion! Return to the team! You are not allowed to stay outside the tent!"
