Due to Feng Nishang's stubbornness, she lost touch with Li Wanjun's vanguard cavalry, leaving her troops isolated and helpless, ultimately surrounded and annihilated by the enemy. By the time Feng Nishang and her army arrived at the battlefield, the enemy had already won and launched a fierce attack. Facing a formidable force, Feng Nishang's troops were unable to withstand it and ultimately suffered a crushing defeat.

Meanwhile, Li Wanjun also suffered a final siege from the enemy generals. They surged forward, their weapons mercilessly stabbing at Li Wanjun. Fifteen sharp blades pierced Li Wanjun's body, instantly riddled with wounds and blood gushing out like a fountain.

A streak of crimson blood oozed from the corner of Li Wanjun's mouth. Over time, it gradually expanded into a column of blood, gushing out continuously. Her eyes were filled with resentment and despair, as if unable to accept what was happening. Her body slowly collapsed like a building without support, but her hands still grasped the ground, trying desperately to hold herself up. Her gaze remained steadfast, as if pursuing some belief or goal.

Li Wanjun's chest trembled violently, and every breath was accompanied by a painful moan. Her legs twitched uncontrollably, and her long, white legs struggled desperately on the ground. The scene was heartbreaking. Blood continued to gush out of her wounds, flowing madly on the ground like a fountain, forming a shocking pool of blood. The bright red color was particularly glaring in the sunlight, making it unbearable to look at.

Her body struggled in a pool of blood, trying to stand up again. Her fingers dug deep into the mud, as if she was trying to grasp at a last glimmer of hope. However, her strength gradually faded, and her body became heavier and heavier.

Her eyes gradually lost their luster. Their once resolute and bright gaze now dimmed, like falling stars. Her vision began to blur, filled with confusion and hesitation, as if she had lost herself in this cruel world. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, only a faint sigh could escape.

She lay quietly in a pool of blood, everything around her seemed so peaceful, only the bright red blood was still slowly flowing. Her body gradually grew colder, the breath of life quietly leaving her, like a candle in the wind, about to fall.

As time passed, Li Wanjun's body grew colder, her eyes still wide, revealing endless grievance and helplessness. The clamor of the battlefield gradually faded, replaced by a dead silence, as if the entire world was immersed in mourning for this young woman.

The din of the battlefield gradually faded, leaving only the faint sound of Li Wanjun's breathing and the patter of blood. Her mind was dragged into a boundless abyss of darkness, as if she had left this world forever. Her delicate yet resolute figure finally lay silently in the pool of blood, becoming a heartbreaking scene of tragedy on the battlefield.

The commander's headstrong self-reliant actions led to this tragedy. Confident in her own decisions, she overlooked the complexities and uncertainties of war. Li Wanjun, a fearless and renowned warrior, became the victim of this foolish decision. She should have been considered a national treasure, but now she has lost her life.

The commander, lost in his own self-admiration, believed his strategy flawless, forgetting that war is never a simple math problem. They underestimated the enemy's cunning and strength, and overestimated their own wisdom and ability. Li Wanjun, a loyal soldier, unhesitatingly followed the commander's orders, placing herself in danger. However, she was unaware that these orders concealed a fatal flaw.

As the enemy surged forward like a tide, Li Wanjun led her troops in a valiant resistance. However, due to their numerical superiority, her troops, following their commander's erroneous order to abandon cavalry and instead attack the city with infantry, created a loophole and were unable to respond with cavalry, leaving them vulnerable. Despite this, Li Wanjun remained steadfast, brandishing her sword. Her red tasseled spear had already pierced the body of an enemy general, who, unable to withdraw, was forced to meet the enemy with his saber, engaging in a desperate struggle. Her courage and tenacity intimidated the enemy, but could not change the course of the battle.

Finally, an arrow struck Li Wanjun in the back, and she collapsed to the ground. Only then did she find herself at the mercy of the enemy generals' swords. Fifteen sharp blades pierced her body, her blood staining the ground red as her life slowly faded. Her eyes stared at the sky, as if wondering why this had happened? Why had all her efforts and sacrifices been in vain? Her heart was filled with helplessness and resentment.

The enemy, naturally, rejoiced at Li Wanjun's death. The once feared female general had finally fallen, and they could celebrate without restraint. They toasted, mocking Li Wanjun's fate and thankful they hadn't suffered the same fate. However, they didn't realize their victory was only temporary.

On the main battlefield, Feng Nishang's troops completely collapsed, the soldiers fled in all directions, and were defeated.

Just as the enemy troops surrounded and prepared to cut off Li Wanjun's head to celebrate, a crossbow arrow flew over and pierced the throat of the enemy general who was about to chop off Li Wanjun's head with a knife. Then dense feather arrows were shot at all the enemy troops. A large number of enemy soldiers fell down. Then another burst of musketry sounded, and all the enemy generals surrounding Li Wanjun were shot dead. I led the female generals of the female guard sent by Li Wanjun to rush over. Before Li Wanjun was surrounded, Li Wanjun insisted that they rush to report the news to prevent the main force from being ambushed by the enemy. Unexpectedly, they met my swordsman Xiao Mingyue, and Lin Wanyi's left and right guards with 50,000 troops. We took 5,000 cavalry first and rushed to rescue Li Wanjun. The others set up an ambush on the way when the rebels were chasing Feng Nishang, ready to wipe out the rebels.

I rushed forward, scooped up Li Wanjun's mangled body, and fed her a resuscitation potion. Within a quarter of an hour, her chest began to rise and fall. I smiled joyfully, tears streaming uncontrollably. Such a brave girl shouldn't have suffered such a tragic fate. Since I'd traveled through time, I owed it to those who are upright and selfless to find a happy ending. Besides, our previous collaborations, and Li Wanjun's fearless spirit, had inspired me to protect her at all costs. As Li Wanjun gradually regained her breath, I summoned a few military doctors to bring a stretcher and lay her down comfortably. I also applied the scar-healing ointment I'd received as a prize from my time travel to her wounds. Miraculously, her wounds healed quickly, leaving no trace of scars. Her skin was as smooth and tender as a baby's. Tears of joy streamed down my face at this finale. Soon, Li Wanjun regained consciousness. Her female guards gathered around her, shouting in unison, "General, you're awake! Great! We were so scared!" She looked up at me, her beautiful eyes fluttering, and said, a little bewildered, "Wasn't I dead?" I smiled and said, "I saved you with a magic medicine." Seeing her wounds had healed, she was even more surprised: "What happened?" "I applied the ointment!" You're fine now, without a single scar. Your skin is smoother than before the injury, and the scars you'd previously incurred have been completely removed, leaving your entire body a pure, radiant white. Li Wanjun was both surprised and delighted, and said with immense gratitude, "Thank you, Censor Xiao, for saving my life. From now on, my life, Li Wanjun, is yours. Sister, please accept my greetings." I said cheerfully, "Then why don't we become sworn sisters?"

We exchanged our ages and birthdays. Xiao Mingyue, the female swordsman who had traveled to this era, had only just made a name for herself in the martial arts world. My actual age was only nineteen, but that was considered old in that era. However, our incredibly brave female general, Li Wanjun, was only seventeen this year and wouldn't turn eighteen in two months. This naturally made me the elder sister, and Li Wanjun the younger sister. We quickly completed the sworn brotherhood ceremony. After all, we were still at war, and time was of the essence, so the process had to be kept as simple as possible. She summoned her female guards to her presence, and then knelt with me, calling them "sisters" in unison! Thus, I accepted these nearly one hundred highly skilled female generals as my sisters. These were elite warriors carefully selected by Li Wanjun from among the martial arts-trained girls in her family. The oldest was nineteen, the youngest just sixteen. All of them were highly skilled Western Han Chinese women, the backbone of the Li Wanjun family. Looking at this group of heroic female generals before me, I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. I sincerely admired Li Wanjun and her female officers' loyalty and love for their country, and was even more impressed by their selfless and brave spirit in rushing to the national crisis. At the same time, I secretly made up my mind to protect this brave and fearless sister!

The final result of this battle was that, because of Feng Nishang's stubbornness and willfulness, all 12,500 of Li Wanjun's troops were wiped out. Only Li Wanjun and nearly 100 personal guards survived. Feng Nishang's main force was also nearly half lost. The remaining 10,000 people fled and were gathered by Lin Wanyi's rear army. When the rebels were chasing Feng Nishang's troops, they were ambushed by Lin Wanyi's 45,000 troops. Because of the bloody battle with Li Wanjun's more than 10,000 vanguards, only less than 30,000 of the 50,000 enemy troops were left. , and was ambushed again, resulting in a crushing defeat. As they fled, they were met by a revived Li Wanjun, leading five thousand of the Left Guards. The power of cavalry was unleashed, and Li Wanjun's valor was exceptional. Armed with a lance, she swept across, killing two or three enemy commanders or sending a dozen soldiers spewing blood. Seeing such bravery from Li Wanjun, I felt immensely gratified. She was the foundation of our nation, and my resolve to stay by her side was even stronger. Under the dual attack of Li Wanjun and Lin Wanyi, the rebels finally collapsed, their formation completely disorganized, and they fled in all directions. We turned to hunting down the remaining fugitives. The result was the complete annihilation of the rebels, with Li Wanjun personally slaying King Li An of Huainan! Lin Wanyi and I worked together to capture Feng Nishang, who had fled to the rear, and brought her to justice. We then joined forces with Li Wanjun, who took control of the remaining Feng Nishang forces. When I returned to the court to report, I immediately impeached General Feng Nishang of the Right Thousand Oxen Guard, accusing her of ignoring the overall situation, being obsessed with merit, giving inaccurate orders, and missing military opportunities, which resulted in the vanguard being isolated and annihilated, and her main force being defeated by the rebels. The responsibility for both defeats lies entirely with her! Her brave but foolish nature was fully exposed, which was even worse than Li Wanjun. She knew that the situation was impossible and would rather sacrifice herself than protect the female masters in her guard team and retain the backbone generals for rebuilding the new army. This was the big picture. Although Li Wanjun was defeated, after taking over 5,000 cavalry, she killed the rebels and made them completely collapse. In the end, she personally killed the rebel leader Huainan King Liu An, and her meritorious service was outstanding. In addition, Feng Nishang signed a military order when she asked for a battle. Therefore, the empress Liu Qian issued an edict, and Lin Wanyi was appointed as the general of the left and right Qianniu guards and the general of the left and right Xiaowei, leading four armies with a total of 100,000 people. Li Wanjun was appointed as the general of the right Wuwei, leading 25,000 people. Li Wanjun was awarded the titles of Princess Nanping and Marquis of Loyalty, and could open a house to recruit a son-in-law. The titles of Princess and Marquis are hereditary and can be inherited by both men and women! She became sworn sisters with Li Wanjun, and from then on, her family, the Li clan, became part of the imperial family. Li Wanjun beamed with joy, feeling that all her efforts had been worthwhile, bringing honor to her family! Lin Wanyi was also promoted to the title of Marquis of Pingnan, a hereditary title. This shows that Liu Qian preferred a simple girl like Li Wanjun, because being a princess! After all, she was part of the imperial family. Meanwhile, Feng Nishang was imprisoned by the Empress for delaying military operations and failing to perform effectively in battle, and was handed over to the Ministry of Justice for trial. Qi Xinyue and I were ordered to assist the Ministry as presiding judges, with me as the chief judge and Qi Xinyue as the deputy judge. Ultimately, we, acting on behalf of the Ministry of Justice, sentenced Feng Nishang to be beheaded in public. However, the Empress felt that she had provoked Feng Nishang to issue the military order, and that she was also responsible for her impulsive behavior. Therefore, she declared that she would use her imperial power to pardon Feng Nishang's death sentence, but would punish her with a 100-stroke military lash, demote her to the rank of commoner, and forbid her from taking the imperial examinations for two years!

Li Wanjun was brought into the palace by Empress Liu Qian and I. Since she had been granted the title of Princess Nanping, she enjoyed a palace within the palace. Her titles of Princess Nanping and Marquis of Loyalty also granted her two separate residences outside the palace, both granted by the Empress: the Princess Nanping Residence and the Marquis of Loyalty. She could live in either, enjoying immense glory. That evening, the Empress and I hosted a celebratory banquet in her palace. After a few drinks, she finally broke into a sword dance, dressed only in a bra and briefs. Her delicate figure, her fair skin, was full of allure. She danced with gusto, as beautiful as a flower, a radiant spring. She had finally, through her own blood and sacrifice, become a member of the imperial family. From the daughter of an ordinary Western Region family, she had become the Empress's sister, a Princess, and even a Marquis, allowing her descendants to inherit the titles of Princess and Marquis. This was truly an unprecedented honor! So it was no surprise that she sang and danced with abandon! The Empress and I weren't upset by her unruly behavior. We had her maids and the selected palace maids sent to her palace help her to sleep, and we had two of her guards stay in a side hall to provide security. I accompanied the Empress back to play ancient mahjong with Liu Jie and Liu Xuan!
