After leaving Miaojiang, Jiang Jiu made up his mind to make a name for himself in life.

She didn't want to rely on Zhao Zhuoxi. Even if she became a queen, she wanted to be a queen who would go down in history.

I have to say, once Jiang Jiu became career-oriented, he became less lovable.

Zhao Zhuoxi came down from the mountain and was about to leave with Jiang Jiu in a carriage, but was driven out by Jiang Jiu.

"Your Majesty, I am now Yao Qin, the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. We are not married yet, so we must keep our distance."

Without hesitation, Jiang Jiu kicked Zhao Zhuoxi off the carriage and ordered his men to set off.

Zhao Zhuoxi was just about to get angry, but unfortunately this person was Jiang Jiu. Even if he was angry, he couldn't bear to lose his temper with Jiang Jiu.

He was so angry that he hit the tree with his palm, and after they walked a long way, the tree fell down.

Daning was in trouble, and Zhao Zhuoxi felt that they should go back to Sucheng first and then discuss it.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Jiu disagreed and asked Xiao Yimo and Chu Yu to go to Sucheng, while she would go north from Miaojiang to deal with Beidi.

"If I remember correctly, some of my people are still in Beidi, and there is an iron mine in Beidi that I purchased."

Jiang Jiu's memories were all back, so he could naturally take control of the overall situation quickly.

When she was in Sucheng, she sent Cheng Jiarui, the head manager of Yiye Pingzhou, and Wu Yuan to go to Beidi to mine.

The mined iron ore was sold not only to the imperial court, but also to the court of the Northern Di.

The rest were taken by Xiao Yimo to make cannons.

Moreover, Jiang Jiu had already opened up the trade route from Sucheng to the border.

Jiang Jiu felt that the sooner the better, so she decided to set off to the border immediately to deal with the Beidi.

As for the people from Northern Qiang, they were left to Zhao Zhuoxi to deal with.

Seeing that Jiang Jiu had arranged everything perfectly, Zhao Zhuoxi was unable to refute it.

Knowing that Jiang Jiu was going to deal with Beidi, Xiao Yimo no longer hid it.

"There are still five cannons in the capital. I originally planned to keep them for our own use. Now that you want to attack Beidi, I will have them sent to the northern border for you."

After Xiao Yimo's arrangement, Chu Yu no longer wanted to return to Sucheng.

I have to go to Northern Xinjiang with Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu opened her eyes wide: "You are pregnant, and you want to go to war? Xiao Yimo will kill me. Be good, go back to Sucheng with His Majesty first, and we can talk after you give birth to the baby."

Chu Yu disagreed: "I have always been the one taking care of your health. I don't trust others. Besides, you are going to the war. What if you get injured?"

Xiao Yimo was also in a dilemma: "Yu'er, you go back to Sucheng and give birth to the baby. I'll go there."

Jiang Jiu quickly scolded: "Don't go either. I can do it alone. Besides, we still have Taohua and Lu An. You should serve Chu Yu well."

After the final discussion, Xiao Yimo and Chu Yu would go to Sucheng to arrange a steady supply of food and grass.

Bai Yue followed Jiang Jiu to the northern border.

Taohua, Yunshu, Lu An and some guards followed Jiang Jiu from Miaojiang directly to Northern Xinjiang.

Zhao Zhuoxi was really worried, so he arranged some guards for her.

As the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, Jiang Jiu is now under the banner of the Yao family soldiers to support the soldiers defending the city in the northern border.

Beijiang and Beidi are separated by a desert. The northernmost city of Daning in Beijiang is called Yuguan. After Jiang Jiu set out, he first wrote a letter to the Duke of Zhenguo, asking him to send troops to her.

In Yongzhou, Jiang Jiu met Yao Jiabing.

At this time, Beidi and Yuguan had been fighting for three months. The soldiers defending Yuguan wrote an urgent letter to the court over a distance of 800 miles, requesting military support. Without support, they would not be able to hold on.

After Jiang Jiu met the Yao family soldiers, he took three thousand elite soldiers and rode at full speed to Yuguan.

At the same time, Xiao Yimo's artillery was also transported to Yongzhou.

In order to hurry on his journey, Jiang Jiu only brought two cannons and two carts of ammunition and traveled light.

Even so, it took them a month to reach Yuguan.

When they arrived at Yuguan, they found that Yuguan's condition was really serious.

Fearing that the city would be breached, the officials of Yuguan moved south with the common people.

There were only soldiers defending the city left in the city. There was no food or medicine, and there were wounded and starving soldiers everywhere.

Jiang Jiu looked at these people and couldn't help but feel a sense of gamble in his heart.

Zhao Zhuoxi's ascension to the throne was not what everyone wanted, but his thundering methods forced the entire court to submit.

But some people just like to betray their own people and will do anything to gain power.

After they were driven out of the capital by Zhao Zhuoxi, they colluded with foreign countries and attacked Daning, the place where he was born and raised.

Not only does it waste people's time and money, it also harms others and does not benefit yourself.

In the end, even if they win, it will be a victory for the Northern Di. The Northern Di people will only occupy the territory of the Da Ning Dynasty, but will not give him any of the land.

They were originally being exploited, but the ones being hurt were the lower classes, soldiers and ordinary people who had left their homes.

Jiang Jiu entered Yuguan with the token, and was greeted by General Wu, the city guard of Yuguan.

But when General Wu saw that the person sent was a girl, he immediately lost hope.

"Why did the court send a little girl here?"

"Don't look at her as a girl, she is the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo and the future queen."

General Wu pursed his lips and saluted Jiang Jiu respectfully.

"General Wu Yue respectfully welcomes General Yao."

Jiang Jiu waved his hand: "You're welcome, take me to the North Gate first, and then tell me about the recent battle situation."

The Northern Di had been unable to capture Yuguan for a long time, so this time they sent 300,000 soldiers to attack the city at once.

Wu Yue was helpless: "We can hold out for three months, but not three years. In the past, the Northern Di people sent at most 30,000 to 50,000 troops to harass Yuguan."

"Who knew that there would be an additional 300,000 troops at once?"

"We used to have 100,000 soldiers defending the city, and we wouldn't be afraid. But when His Majesty personally led the troops to attack Nanli, our general took away 50,000 soldiers. Now there are only 50,000 soldiers left. It's really difficult to defend this city."

Jiang Jiu naturally understood: "It doesn't matter. His Majesty has sent a hundred thousand troops to follow. They will arrive in a few days, and there are also food and grass. I only brought three thousand elite soldiers to help you for a while."

Well, having three thousand elite soldiers is better than having none.

When Jiang Jiu followed General Wu Yue all the way to the north gate and climbed up the city wall, he saw that the area below the gate was full of people.

Suddenly, Jiang Jiu had a concrete impression of the 300,000-strong army.

"General Wu, the Northern Di army is challenging us. What should we do?"

Wu Yue turned her head to look at Jiang Jiu, only to see Jiang Jiu wave his hand and two cannons followed behind him and were pushed onto the city wall by his soldiers.

"Load the shells, lock the distance, and aim."

The three thousand elite soldiers brought by Jiang Jiu also climbed onto the city wall, holding bows and arrows, ready for battle.

Jiang Jiu saw that the Northern Di people's siege vehicles were also ready, a total of six.

"Shoot the horses first when shooting at people. Aim at their engineering vehicles first. Get ready."

Wu Yue saw the barrels of the two cannons adjusted upwards.

There are four gunners next to a cannon, one is responsible for looking at the target, one is responsible for adjusting the height of the barrel, one is responsible for ignition, and the other is responsible for controlling the cannon and filling the gunpowder in time after firing.

Jiang Jiu gave the order: "Fire."
