On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Leaden clouds rolled like angry beasts, piled heavily on the sky, swallowing up the last ray of daylight. A fierce wind roared across the wilderness, making the military tents whistle.

Lin Zhenxian stood at the edge of the military tent, his silver hair dancing in the wind like a frosted battle flag. He raised his hand to catch the falling raindrops, feeling the chill, and murmured.

"The rain has finally come."

He Mingyuan was running towards them from afar, wearing a straw raincoat. His face was cold and resolute under his straw hat. Rainwater flowed down his straw raincoat and formed shallow puddles at his feet.

"My Lord, the time has come, we can attack!"

He clasped his fists and saluted, his voice filled with uncontrollable eagerness.

Lin Zhenxian nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Zhou Ze, who was waiting nearby. His expression was stern. "Zhou Ze, I order you to lead your troops to the upper reaches of the Mu River and dig up the riverbank! This battle is crucial to our military's future, and we cannot afford to lose."

Zhou Ze straightened his body.

"The last general takes command!"

After saying this, he turned around and rushed into the wind and rain with a hundred or so strong soldiers.

When we reached the bank of the Mushui River, the wind became more violent and the rain curtain became like a densely woven bead curtain, making it difficult to see.

When we arrived at the Mushui River, the wind blew even harder and the rain was like a curtain, making it impossible to see clearly.

The river water rose high, and the waves hit the river bank one after another.

Zhou Ze narrowed his eyes, feeling excited and thrilled.

This time, Pi City is finally about to be captured!

"All soldiers, listen up! Follow me up the dike!"

He roared and rushed to the river bank first.

He shouted at the top of his lungs and led the charge towards the riverbank.

There is mud under my feet and I will sink into it if I step on it.

The soldiers followed with one foot deep and one foot shallow. From time to time, someone would slip, be helped up by their comrades, and then continue to rush up.

Zhou Ze took the lead, holding on to the reeds on the embankment with both hands. His fingers turned white and veins on his arms were bulging. With the force of the rain, he gritted his teeth and moved upwards desperately.

The strong wind almost blew him into the river several times, but he refused to let go and climbed to the top of the river bank bit by bit.

After the brothers came up, Zhou Ze looked at the surging river water under his feet and felt a little scared.

Damn it, digging the river embankment.

If you’re not careful, you might get washed away by the water!

But I have to do it because I have military orders.

For the prince, for the crown prince, and for the peaceful and prosperous era of Daqian.

Dry!

"Soldiers! Since ancient times, everyone is mortal. Leave behind your loyal hearts to shine in history! The Crown Prince and the Prince are awaiting news of our victory! We must dig the riverbank at all costs and not slack off even for a moment! After this battle, each of you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and promoted three ranks!"

"Drink! Drink! Drink!"

Zhou Ze made the final pre-war mobilization. The soldiers shouted loudly and waved their shovels, hoes, drills, and crowbars, digging hard towards the weak parts of the river bank.

But it is not so easy to dig up the river bank. The impact of the water is too great. As soon as it is dug a little, the soil is washed back.

Suddenly, a huge wave hit, and the two soldiers near the river were unable to dodge and were instantly swept into the rushing water. They disappeared before they even had time to shout.

Everyone was shocked, but there was no way out at this moment, so they could only grit their teeth and continue.

Mud mixed with rain splashed, and every digging seemed to be a race against time and a fight against the violent power of heaven and earth.

Not long after, there was a dull roar, as if a mountain was collapsing and the earth was splitting. The river embankment finally couldn't bear it and broke through.

In an instant, the long-accumulated flood seemed to have found an outlet, rushing down like a galloping horse, carrying mud, sand, and branches, and rushing towards Xia Pi City with a devastating force.

......

In Xia Pi City, Gu Beichen was strolling leisurely in the city tower.

He was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, with a jade belt around his waist, and his sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes were full of the pride of an aristocrat.

The rain came suddenly and poured down before he could even return to the government office.

Suddenly, he saw another white line rushing across the sky in the distance.

At first he didn't realize what it was.

When he saw clearly that it was a raging flood, his face turned pale instantly.

"Oh shit! There's a flood! Run!"

He shouted at the soldiers around him, his voice distorted with anxiety. The soldiers hurriedly rang the alarm bells, and for a moment, the rapid sound of the bells echoed in the city.

But before the people in the city could react, the flood was like a white monster, and it broke through the city gate with a "boom". The streets were instantly in chaos, and the people ran around crying for their parents.

The flood roared like a beast and rushed into the streets and alleys. Wherever it went, houses collapsed and broken tiles and debris floated everywhere with the torrent.

The young children were so frightened that they hugged their parents' necks tightly and cried loudly. Their cries seemed so weak amid the noise of wind, rain and flood, yet they were heartbreaking.

The old people were trembling and staggering. Many of them fell down in the panic and never got up again. They were directly submerged by the flood, leaving only a skinny hand waving in vain on the water for a few times before disappearing.

Young and middle-aged people tried to carry their families on their backs to escape, but the impact of the flood was too great. They were often knocked down by the current after just a few steps. The family struggled in the water and pulled each other, but could not escape the clutches of the flood.

The livestock screamed in fear and ran in all directions. The screams of cattle and horses and the cries of pigs and sheep intertwined together, adding a sense of despair to the tragic scene.

The flood ripped the street shops apart, their goods scattered across the ground. Food, cloth, gold, silver, and other valuables were now useless jumbles, swirling in the current. Some vendors, unable to escape, clung to roadside trees, their eyes filled with fear and despair. Their livelihoods had been completely destroyed in an instant.

In half an hour, the flood gradually retreated from Xia Pi City and continued to flow downstream. Only shallow water that just covered the horse's hooves was still flowing in the city.

Outside the city, Lin Zhenxian saw that the flood had receded. A cold smile flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly drew his sword and swung it: "Cavalry, attack with all your strength!"

"Woo~~~"

"kill!!!"

Suddenly, trumpets sounded, shouts of killing rang out, and the army led by Zheng Sanshan rushed towards the desperate Xia Pi City like a black tide.

The Nanchu defenders had already been scattered by the sudden flood, and their morale was in chaos. Seeing the enemy coming like ghosts, they immediately lost all their fighting spirit.

The commander of Southern Chu looked at the forest of swords and spears outside the city, sighed, and surrendered by throwing down his weapons.

Gu Beichen looked at the floodwaters filling the city and the surrounding enemy troops, furious and anxious, his handsome face twisted with rage. His eyes instantly became bloodshot, as if spitting fire. He stared intently at Lin Zhenxian outside the city, his teeth chattering as he squeezed out the words, "Fuck you, Lin Zhenxian!"

His hands were clenched tightly into fists at his sides, his knuckles turning white from excessive force, and his body was shaking slightly uncontrollably.

It’s over.

It's all over.

Not only did he lose to Lin Zhen, but now he lost to Lin Zhenxian.

Why are the Lin family members so powerful?! And so annoying!?

Damn it, a wise man never suffers a loss in front of him.

Gu Beichen gritted his teeth, took a few trusted aides, found a small path in the noisy crowd, and fled out of the city in a panic.

Lin Zhenxian led his army into Xia Pi and went straight to the government office.

He wanted to capture Gu Beichen alive and bring him back to be dealt with by his grandson.

And where was Gu Beichen? Only the pitiful beauty, the servants, and Huanhuan, who lay on the bed, unaware of what was happening.

Seeing this scene, Lin Zhenxian cursed: "Damn it, he actually let him get away."

If Gu Beichen is not captured, then this battle will not be perfect.

Lin Zhenxian felt a little regretful. If he had known that Gu Beichen was so smart, he should have sent people to keep an eye on the other city gates in advance.

......

An hour later, inside the government office.

Lin Zhenxian sat in the main seat in the main hall, thinking about how to deal with the aftermath.

He is a god of war, not a butcher, and he cannot leave the people in the city alone.

Although no eggs can remain intact when the nest is overturned, Lin Zhenxian still wants to help them rebuild their homes.

At this moment, he was discussing with He Mingyuan when he saw Zhou Ze walking in from outside.

His armor was covered in mud and water stains. He approached and knelt on one knee. "Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission. The riverbank has burst, and Xia Pi City has been captured."

Lin Zhenxian smiled and helped Zhou Ze up with both hands. "Xiao Ze, you've worked hard. You've made great contributions in this battle. When we return to the court, I will report this to the emperor and commend him for your achievements!"

He Mingyuan also joined in, "Thanks to General Zhou's bravery, otherwise, even with this heavy rain, it would have been difficult to capture the city. Now that Xia Pi has been captured, our army can take advantage of the situation and march south to the heart of Southern Chu."

Lin Zhenxian paced with his hands behind his back, contemplating for a moment. "We must not act hastily. Although our army may have won, we have hurt some of the people. The most urgent task is to comfort the people and help them rebuild their homes. Zhen'er said it well. From now on, they are all our Daqian citizens. We must not treat them harshly."

"Your Highness is absolutely right. I believe that Nanchu will become afraid of war after this battle and may even seek peace with us."

"What a joke! He wants to negotiate?" There was no way Lin Zhenxian would agree to negotiate.

But Lin Zhen agreed.

It’s just that the old man doesn’t know Lin Zhen’s thoughts yet. If he knew, he would definitely agree.

Unknowingly, the little brat Lin Zhen has become the backbone of Lin Zhenxian.

......

Lin Zhen's immortal army defeated Xia Pi without bloodshed, a feat no less than Lin Zhen's defeat of 100,000 with 5,000 men.

But people in the capital don’t know about it yet.

This last autumn rain came with great force, and many places in the capital were flooded. Fortunately, the city's drainage function was perfect, so it did not cause flooding.

Lin Zhen, holding an umbrella, got off the carriage at the gate of the palace.

If it rains in the capital, it must be raining in Xia Pi City as well.

Lin Zhen knew that the war with Nanchu would end before the end of this year, and Daqian would become the most powerful among the seven countries.

At this critical juncture, he wanted to meet someone.

a woman.

Chu Xiling.

He really wanted to know what this woman, who was so proud of her country, thought of this one-sided war.
