Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

General Xiao was worried that if this matter was not handled properly, it would cause a war on the border, so he rejected Captain Meng's proposal and only asked him to strengthen the city gates to ensure that the people in the city could spend the winter safely and recuperate.

However, the tree wanted to be still but the wind did not stop. A day later, an army gathered on the border of Zhou State and openly declared war on our country.

They claimed that a caravan of their country was killed and robbed by the Qin army when passing through the border. The Zhou State also made the survivors of the caravan stand in front of the battle line and cry about their miserable experience, and kneel down to ask the Zhou army to avenge their caravan.

Captain Meng was so furious. Whose side was this damn caravan from?

It was obvious that they had received the caravan's request for help and sent troops to help, but in the end, they were the ones to blame.

The silent General Xiao stood on the chariot, drew his bow and shot an arrow through the heart of the crying caravan survivor.

He shouted loudly: "If you want to fight, then fight. What are you doing with these things? Just come at me!" The voice swirled and spread in the bleak cold wind, catching the other side off guard.

War is about to break out.

"Good, good, good!"

There was a burst of cheers in the tavern.

"You are brave, worthy of our General Xiao. Shoot that lying bastard to death."

"I thought General Xiao was a coward, but he is so decisive and generous!"

Qi Dashan took another sip of tea and waited until everyone had finished their discussion before continuing. He had finally found the true rhythm of storytelling.

General Xiao underestimated the provocation of the Zhou State. They abandoned the survivors of the caravan who had challenged them. A small team on the right wing led a group of ragged civilians forward and made the old, young, women and children kneel between the two armies.

General Xiao shot and killed one of them, and they killed ten Qin civilians.

The Zhou State used blood to inspire morale and also stimulated the murderous spirit of the Qin army.

Looking at the common people kneeling on the ground and not even daring to cry, General Xiao could not retreat. There were still tens of thousands of people behind him who needed his protection.

The two armies were facing each other. Even if the Qin army deliberately avoided the innocent civilians in between, there was no such thing as luck in war.

In this battle, General Xiao, who had narrowly won the victory, personally searched for the Chinese people captured by Zhou’s army on the battlefield after the battle. Finally, he found a thin girl who was protected by a woman among the dead bodies.

Although we won the battle, our soldiers did not feel very excited.

Those rats that pop up from time to time to disturb people are really troublesome. I wonder what their purpose is in these repeated provocations.

General Xiao always felt that he would not be able to drive them away so easily this time, as there would be even bigger snowstorms waiting for them.

General Xiao had the unconscious girl brought back to the camp for treatment by a military doctor while he discussed the next border defense deployment with his men.

After returning to the military camp, General Xiao immediately became busy. He redeployed the border defenses and also wrote a memorial to be sent back to the capital to report to the emperor.

When he finally had some free time, he suddenly discovered that there was a woman in his tent.

"Who are you?" How could there be a woman in the military camp? Even if there was a woman, she would not come to his tent without permission.

"General, I, I was rescued from the battlefield by you half a month ago. My name is Cai Qing."

General Xiao recalled that day when he picked up a civilian who was still breathing from the pile of dead bodies captured by the enemy country. "Are you recovered now?"

General Xiao felt greatly comforted by the fact that this was the only Chinese citizen who escaped from the enemy, and he suppressed his murderous aura.

Cai Qing replied respectfully: "The wound on my leg is not serious. When the Zhou soldiers attacked, my mother blocked the knife for me. My mother protected me and allowed me to survive. But my mother-----"

Recalling the massacre that day, General Xiao frowned, "Since you have recovered, I will have someone escort you out of the camp."

"General, I have no home anymore." When Cai Qing heard that General Xiao was going to send her away, she knelt down and crawled to General Xiao's feet. "In order to capture us, the Zhou army burned down our village. My relatives and friends also died under the Zhou army's knife. Cai Qing has nowhere to go!"

"Then I'll have someone take you to Taiyin City. Don't worry, I'll have someone help you settle down."

Cai Qing grabbed General Xiao's robe in a hurry, crying, "General, I won't leave. I want to stay here and watch our soldiers defeat the enemy's army. I want to watch them die without a burial place. Let me stay here and wash clothes and cook for the general and soldiers, and contribute my meager strength----"

Cai Qing's miserable cries attracted many soldiers, who gathered in front of General Xiao's tent. Some people whispered that this young lady was too miserable. Not only was her whole family killed, but Captain Meng went to the small village where Cai Qing lived near Taiyin Mountain to check, and found that not even a dog was left in the entire village.

Cai Qing's identity as an orphan is so pitiful.

Someone whispered outside the tent, "General, why don't you just leave Miss Caiqing in the camp?"

Then someone else followed suit.

Three deep wrinkles appeared between General Xiao's brows.

Finally, General Xiao asked his personal guards to build a small tent not far from the commander-in-chief's tent, so Cai Qing was able to stay temporarily.

Cai Qing thanked happily, wiped her tears and went out.

General Xiao left one of his personal guards alone in the military tent, discussing some important matter, and did not come out until very late.

The presence or absence of the orphan girl Cai Qing was just a trivial episode in the minor friction wars that occasionally arose on the border, and was soon forgotten by the busy and tense soldiers.

The Zhou State had never given up on invading the country to plunder the surrounding villages. Every now and then, a small group of soldiers would march quickly to try to break through the Qin border defense line, which left General Xiao with even less time to stay in the barracks.

He patrolled the border with the Zhou Kingdom every day to boost morale.

There was heavy snow in Taiyin Mountain, and the Zhou State, which had been restless recently, suddenly became silent, as if it had disappeared out of thin air.

The soldiers just felt that they could finally have a good new year, but General Xiao didn't think so.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

After inspecting the sentry posts one by one, General Xiao returned to the East Camp. After many days of running around, General Xiao did not return to his own tent, but went to the combat tent and sat in front of the sand table for half a day.

The personal soldiers prepared hot water for General Xiao to wash, but he showed no intention of getting up.

Until a cup of warm tea was handed to him, the woman's soft voice reminded him carefully: "General, don't tire yourself out. Drink a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up and get rid of your fatigue!"
