After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

There are precedents in history for breaking through enemy lines single-handedly, but who is Cui Zhengyu? Is he one of those fools who can be defeated by a single person on horseback?

Chen Futu just said something very true: in battle, only the result matters. He lost and is destined to become a laughing stock in history.

"Young general, there's no need to be so upset. If you survive, you'll go to the battlefield, kill the enemy, and prove yourself. These stigmas will then disappear on their own."

Chen Futu slapped him and then gave him a sweet treat.

As expected, a light returned to Cui Zhengyu's previously dim eyes. "You're not going to kill me?"

"Didn't I say before that we are destined to meet? I won't kill you easily, but it depends on your choice."

After Chen Futu finished speaking, he had Dian Wei take the thoughtful Cui Zhengyu with him, and then the others bandaged their wounds on the spot before chasing after the caravan.

In this battle, Ake acted swiftly, ensuring that no one on her side was injured, with only a few suffering minor injuries. Her performance was truly outstanding.

Half a day later, Chen Futu and his party caught up with the caravan.

When Hua Yu heard that the dozens of cavalrymen had not only defeated the enemy army, but had even captured the enemy's commander alive, she was shocked.

She knew about Cui Zhengyu, this little devil, and couldn't help but mock him. Cui Zhengyu blushed with embarrassment and was powerless to refute her.

"Your Majesty, at our current pace, I fear we will be intercepted again before we can cross the Xuan River. I do not think Liu Bainian will let this go easily."

Hua Yu seemed a little anxious during the meal.

This time the enemy will definitely not be careless. If the garrison of the important town comes out in full force to block the retreat, what can we do?

Chen Futu calmly said, "Since we know our retreat will be blocked, there's no need to rush. We can just travel slowly."

"Walk slowly?"

The others were puzzled, but Dian Wei said in a deep voice, "What my lord means is that once General Qin discovers that his retreat route has been cut off, he will definitely take action. Therefore, if we proceed slowly, it will allow General Qin to make timely arrangements."

After hearing the explanation, everyone suddenly understood.

Chen Futu found it amusing. Dian Wei was just a captain of the personal guard in the army, but his judgment of the situation was still far superior to these Jianghu people. So, Jianghu people may have strength and be good at fighting, but most of them are not fit to be generals.

After resting for a day, the group set off northward the next morning.

When they were still ten miles from the northern border, news came from the Embroidered Uniform Guard that 50,000 troops from a nearby major town had blocked the road back north.

When the news broke, everyone was stunned.

The enemy will not repeat the same mistake. A few dozen cavalrymen would not be able to break through, especially since they also have to protect the carriage.

Chen Futu remained unhurried and ordered his troops to remain in place and await further news.

About half a day later, new intelligence suddenly came back: Qin Liangyu personally led the White-Spear Army, under the pretext of clearing the way for the royal caravan, and crossed the bridgehead. The enemy temporarily avoided the attack, and then they confronted each other.

This outcome was roughly in line with Chen Futu's expectations. Qin Liangyu took action, and considering the Xuan Shui Alliance, she did not leave any ammunition for the other states to criticize.

The Daqian side must know that the so-called royal caravan Qin Liangyu mentioned refers to the family of Sun Chengzong. Unfortunately, they dare not fight. At least before the army is assembled, those Daqian generals dare not fight Qin Liangyu. If it were Sun Chengzong, the two sides would probably have already started fighting.

A day later, Chen Futu led his convoy back to the northern border, where he saw the two armies facing each other from afar.

Although Qin Liangyu only had a few thousand men, she stood alone at the front of the army in her red robe and golden armor, and no enemy dared to provoke her.

"So, she was Qin Liangyu..."

Confined to a small, solitary cell in the carriage, Cui Zhengyu stared intently at Qin Liangyu's figure, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

Qin Liangyu was one of the earliest and most valiant generals to follow Chen Futu. Since her appearance, she had never been defeated, and her hundred-strong army swept through the land with unstoppable force. Therefore, she was the goddess of war in the northern frontier, a fact recognized not only in the northern frontier but also by the Great Qian Dynasty and other kingdoms.

As Chen Futu led his caravan slowly towards them, the Daqian side grew anxious.

The generals huddled together and whispered about whether or not to fight.

"We absolutely cannot let the Sun family into the northern frontier, or the consequences will be dire!"

"What else can we do if we don't release her? Do we think we can defeat Qin Liangyu?"

One sentence silenced the other generals.

Yeah, how do we fight this?

The White-Spear Soldiers are all skilled marksmen and horsemen. If a real battle breaks out, how many of these 50,000 men can return? Moreover, Qin Liangyu's back is a bridgehead. Once a battle breaks out, the mobilization of the northern and southern armies will mean a real war. They cannot afford the responsibility of a full-scale war, because the main strategy of the Great Qian Dynasty is to quell the rebellion, not to fight a deadly battle with the northern frontier.

After much discussion, a general from the Great Qian Dynasty reluctantly stepped forward and clasped his hands in greeting to Qin Liangyu. "General Qin, do you still remember the Xuan Shui Alliance?"

Qin Liangyu's expression was indifferent. "Of course I remember, otherwise how would you all have survived?"

"Ah this..."

The general was so choked that his eyes rolled back. Everyone knew that the King of the Northern Frontier had a bad temper, but he never expected that his woman would have such a fierce temper as well. They really were a family!

"General Qin, His Majesty has ordered us to intercept the remnants of the Sun family. Please do not make things difficult for us, or you may make your terms."

"Your Majesty? Which Your Majesty? In our Northern Frontier, there is only a King, not an Emperor."

"Qin Liangyu, how dare you be so insolent!"

"I won't waste my breath on you. If you want to fight, then form your battle lines. If you don't want to fight, then withdraw your troops. If you continue to make noise, don't blame me for tearing up the alliance."

"The King of the Northern Frontier is a traitor. You stoop to serve a traitor, do you want to be remembered with infamy for all eternity?!"

The general cursed angrily, and Qin Liangyu's usually calm and composed face suddenly darkened upon hearing this. "Are you looking for death?"

She immediately took down the painted bow, aimed at the general, and his expression changed drastically. He screamed in alarm, "Qin Liangyu, do you really dare to break the alliance!"

"Anyone who dares to insult our king shall be executed."

Qin Liangyu nocked an arrow and fired it in quick succession. Each arrow was like a full moon, the sharp arrow flying through the air with a sharp whistling sound.

The opponent tried to dodge in a panic, but was still shot through the forehead by an arrow, fell off his horse, and died.

hiss--

The battlefield was filled with gasps of shock, followed by a mixture of surprise and rage among the Daqian soldiers, while the White-Spear Soldiers' morale soared.

"The general is mighty!"

"Wind, wind, wind—"

The White-Clad Soldiers were becoming restless, and the situation was nearly out of control.

Qin Liangyu was truly daring to kill; she shot and killed a general of the Great Qian Dynasty with a single arrow, without any concern for the consequences.

Chen Futu looked at the imposing female general with a smile, his heart filled with doting affection, "She truly is my wife, so domineering."

Hua Yu clicked her tongue in amazement: "The Princess's methods are exactly the same as the King's, but doing this, I'm afraid..."

With the Xuan Shui Alliance in place, Qin Liangyu's unauthorized killing of an enemy general will likely draw criticism from various countries in the northern frontier.

Azi coldly said, "Dissent? Just wipe them all out. General Qin truly deserves the title of God of War."

As for Sun Linlin, she stared intently at Qin Liangyu's figure, her eyes practically sparkling.

She wants to be a female general too!
