The Empress came ashore and beheaded the meritorious officials, forcing me to wear the yellow robe

north……

A hundred miles away from the capital of Da Qi, in a wilderness, there are endless barracks.

Along the way, I could hear the neighing of horses, the laughter of the crowd, and the screams and cries of women.

Yesterday, the barbarians attacked another county town and took away all the food, gold, silver, women, children, and men in the city. As for the useless elderly, they slaughtered them all without leaving a single one.

Men can be captured and taken back as slaves, women can be used to warm beds, but what about children?

Their population is smaller than that of Daqi. After they abduct children and bring them back, they will grow up in a new environment and become their children's slaves in the future.

The barbarians all wear furs because they are a fishing and hunting people and are good at hunting.

The most interesting thing is the hairstyle of these people.

An ordinary warrior would have two small braids on the left and right sides of his head, similar to Nezha, and another small braid at the end, with the rest of his head shaved. This thing is called "Sanda'er" or "Bulang'er" in their place.

As for the nobles, they shaved their heads in the middle, leaving a bald head, with some hair hanging down in front. After the hair on both sides of the ears grew longer, they tied it into two braids.

Similar to later generations, girls in the early days liked to have left and right braids with bangs, but they had a "Mediterranean" circle on their foreheads.

Why this hairstyle?

It seems to be the same as the Japanese people in the East, so that it is convenient to wear a helmet to avoid discomfort from friction.

But shaving it all off doesn't have much personality, you have to leave something on your head.

The barbarian leader who led the army south to plunder the Great Qi was the Zasak "Bochijin".

Zasak is not his surname or his name, but his identity.

Among the barbarians, Zasak means "prince".

Bo Chijin is the sixth son of the current Barbarian Khan, and the most cunning and strategic of them all. For no other reason than that he is Li Jize's rival.

The two clashed many times at the border, and although Bo Chijin lost more than he won, he never lost his fighting spirit. On the contrary, he was a very studious person, exposed to a lot of Chinese culture, reading Chinese military books, and even...

Learn tactics from your opponent Li Jize!

Unfortunately!

After hearing the news that Li Jize had been driven mad by the Empress, Bo Chijin was deeply moved...

In this world, I have lost another enemy and teacher! Da Qi no longer has anything worth fearing.

Just like this, Bochijin led his barbarian army all the way south. Wherever he passed, the army of the Great Qi either retreated into the city or fled at the sight of the enemy.

Sweeping all the way across, there was no longer Li Jize, nor were there any Beiliang Wolf Riders blocking their way.

"Report! Zasak (from now on, just use Prince for ease of understanding), intelligence has arrived from Da Qi's internal spies!"

"Say!"

Bochijin was drinking and eating meat with the Xiankuns (generals) in the barracks. When he saw the messenger who was delivering the intelligence, he waved his hand impatiently.

Obviously! All the way through the siege and looting, the army of Da Qi either retreated or fled, which made them very contemptuous! They really didn't think that anyone in the current Shenzhou could stop the barbarian cavalry.

Who would have thought…

"Spies have reported that Da Qi has dispatched the Northern Liang Wolf Cavalry to counter our army's southward advance!"

Everyone who was eating meat and drinking in the barracks was stunned when they heard the name of their "old rival", the Beiliang Wolf Cavalry.

Bo Chijin, however, was full of disdain and asked in return, "Who will lead the army? If it's Li Jihuan? Ha! This man has some strategy, but he's not up to par. I don't even take him seriously!"

After he finished speaking, the generals in the barracks burst into laughter, and everyone started eating and drinking.

until……

"Deputy Commander, Li Jize!"

puff!

Ah!

Bang!

After this name appeared, people in the entire barracks sprayed wine, exclaimed, and some even dropped their wine bowls on the ground.

It is conceivable how shocking this name was to them.

Li Jize's most famous battle was when he led three thousand Beiliang wolf riders and directly killed through the barbarian army of 100,000!

That battle...

It was the old Khan who led an army of 100,000 to come out in full force, intending to lure the border troops of Da Qi to come out in full force and completely defeat Da Qi in a battle in the wild.

Once the watchdog is gone, the rich land of China will become a granary for the barbarians, who can come and go as they please.

But who could have imagined that...

The old Khan's plan was good. When the battle between the two sides was the most intense, Li Jize appeared from nowhere.

He led three thousand wolf riders to kill through an army of one hundred thousand barbarians and headed straight for the old Khan's central camp!

Not only was the old Khan terrified, but the entire army was terrified, and they tried desperately to stop Li Jize and his Beiliang Wolf Cavalry.

But he and his army were like a red-hot knife cutting through butter. No one could stop them. In the end, the old Khan just ran away for his life. And the madman Li Jize chased the old Khan and cut down half of the grassland.

The Khan had fled! Naturally, the 100,000-strong army was in a panic and in disarray.

Their plan to destroy the border army of Da Qi was directly destroyed by Li Jize, and that battle was also the battle that made Li Jize famous.

From then on, the old Khan never led an army in person again, and all the fighting was handed over to the Sixth Prince Bochijin.

really……

When Bochijin heard Li Jize's name, his hand holding the wine bowl froze, and he frowned with a look of confusion.

"Didn't the spies lurking in Da Qi say some time ago that Li Jize had been driven mad by the empress? How could a fool lead an army to war?"

Having said that, he thought about it carefully and found something wrong.

"Deputy commander? How could Li Jize be the deputy commander? Shouldn't he be the commander-in-chief?"

The generals around reacted and began to whisper and discuss.

Some even laughed impudently, "It seems that Da Qi really has no one left to use! They actually sent out a fool. If Li Jize were a normal person, he would still be afraid of him, but now he's a fool! He's here to die."

"Is there a trick here? Is the Empress planning to use Li Jize to scare us?"

Although they all said that they were not afraid of Li Jize, after hearing that Li Jize was leading the army, the barbarian generals began to speculate and discuss.

Bo Chijin stroked his beard and fell into deep thought...

Finally, he asked directly, "Where are the Beiliang Wolf Riders now?"

"Your Highness! The spies said they saw the Northern Liang Wolf Riders heading east along the canal."

"canal?"

This time, not only Prince Bochijin was dumbfounded, but all his generals were also confused.

Isn’t it?

If they head south, Li Jize will lead his troops to stop them. Shouldn't he head north to meet them?

What does it mean to run east along the canal?

Could it be that Li Jize, like the rest of the Da Qi army, was frightened by them and simply led his troops away?
