In the years of famine, I was well versed in history and pampered the Northern Army

But despite this, Lu Yan couldn't bear to see Xu Qingyin blaming herself again, so he hurried to comfort her:

"There's no need to be like this. Although I'm also very sad, these casualties on the battlefield are inevitable. We've all done our best. We should figure out who our enemy is."

When he said this, Lu Yan's voice was a little hoarse. Although he was comforting himself, he had been accustomed to the separation of life and death for such a long time, and Lu Yan himself had not learned to let go.

Whenever he saw his brothers who had been through thick and thin with him suffer heavy casualties because of unnecessary battles again and again, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

"Hey."

Xu Qingyin sighed.

Lu Yan looked at her face, which was usually very white and now extremely pale, and felt sad.

How could he not know the hardship of the witch these days? During the day, she had to get up very early and go to bed, trying her best to deal with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother usually didn't care about things, so many things were handled by Xu Qingyin after the court session.

She also had to find time to return to the present to purchase all the food and supplies they needed. Now that there were frequent wars, she also had to purchase cotton clothes, because this battle was so unexpected that she didn't even have time to buy weapons.

It was during this period that she found the time to send over some swords, bows and arrows.

Looking at a thin and pale girl, who was like the moon in the sky, or like a thin piece of white paper that would be blown away by the wind, but was able to do so many things and had so much energy in her body, he could not help but feel sorry for him. He really had taken on too much. Just as he was thinking about it, the witch in front of him suddenly fell backwards and fainted beside him.

"Miko!"

He hurriedly helped her up and did not let the witch lie directly on the ground.

"Military doctor, call a military doctor!"

Now he was panicked. Although the witch looked weak on weekdays, she had never fainted directly. Now that she fainted beside him, he felt really uncomfortable and scared.

After the military doctor rushed over and took Yumi's pulse, he said tremblingly:

"Your Highness, there's no need to worry tonight. You're just too tired these days. If you can get some rest, there won't be any serious problems."

But Lu Yan also knew that this sentence had another hidden meaning, which was that if he continued to be busy like this, he might develop a chronic illness.

Lu Yan sighed:

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll be able to take care of this place by myself."

Now that the Zhenbei Army has suffered heavy casualties, they absolutely cannot occupy the military doctor for too long, so he hurriedly released the military doctor and let him continue to work. In fact, this military camp has not had a rest for a very long time.

Lu Yan felt heartbroken seeing Xu Qingyin like this.

He became even more determined and wiped out all those people in the Western Regions at once.

That night, Lu Yan tried to sort out military affairs while repeatedly watching over Xu Qingyin. Finally, at noon the next day, Xu Qingyin woke up.

When she saw that so much time had passed, she became extremely anxious and hurried back to the capital. She didn't even have time to meet Lu Yan, so she left a note saying that she was too busy.

Lu Yan sighed when he saw the paper, but he also felt it was reasonable. After all, the witch really cared about the people of Yunjin.

When Xu Qingyin returned home, she finished her work and took a short rest, and it was already time to go to court the next day.

It must be said that the Queen Mother's spies were well-informed. Now she already knew that the Zhenbei Army's troops in the mountains were defeating the Western Regions.

When the ministers in the capital reported this news to her, they told her it was good news, but she had a sad face and was just going through the motions.

"Great! If I had known earlier that he was so capable in Zhenjing, I'd bet he'd be truly remarkable! When Lu Yan comes back, I'll definitely reward him well."

Although he said it was a reward, everyone could clearly feel what he meant.

Everyone was confused and reluctant, so after the court was dismissed, the Queen Mother took those things and smashed them to pieces in the harem.

She looks exactly the same as when she was a royal concubine.

"This is really too much. The Zhenbei Army is so weird, it's like some kind of sorcery. An army of 200,000 can't defeat his 60,000. Even the Nanxiang army of 100,000 is helping these beggars of less than 100,000! This is really ridiculous!"

In the Empress Dowager's mind, the group of people from the Zhenbei Army were just beggars who once begged for food in the capital.

She had never expected that after such a long time, they were no longer the same as before. Whether in combat, tactics, or even physique, they had made a qualitative leap.

She used to think that in the north, they were able to defeat the Nanxiang people just by luck, or maybe even with some help from God. But when the knife actually stabbed her, she felt the pain and realized that these things might really be extraordinary.

This page Zhenbei Army, Lu Yan and Xu Qingyin were so busy with this battle that they couldn't sleep well at night, and the Queen Mother didn't sleep all night either.

The next day, she called over the personal maid she had brought from the Western Regions and said expressionlessly:

"Send those things to them."

When the maids beside her heard these words, they were surprised and heartbroken as if they had heard something extraordinary.

"Your Highness, this is incredible! This is your hard work. Besides, they have an army of 20. How could we possibly defeat 6 of them? It's possible they've misreported the numbers. They always misreported things in the past, and you always knew everything when they asked you for more information."

Seeing that the maid beside her was disobedient, she was already unhappy about having to give these things away, so she got angry:

"What tone of voice did you use when talking to me? Do you think it's your turn to tell me what to do? I said I want to send it out, so I'll send it back."

The palace maid in front of him was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to apologize:

"Please forgive me, Empress Dowager. I will never speak nonsense again. I am just heartbroken for your hard work... How much do you want to give me?"

The Queen Mother closed her eyes, frowned, and revealed a look of pain. When she opened her eyes again, there was only ruthlessness in them:

"All."
