Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug
Chapter 55 The Life of a Sworn Brother in an Ancient Farming Family 22
Just as General Yue sent out his report of victory, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu proposed their next plan: to launch an offensive!
In recent years, Tianqi Kingdom has been on the defensive due to its need for recuperation and development. Now that they have a detailed map of the border with the other side and bombs as a powerful weapon, it would be unreasonable for them not to take the initiative to attack. After all, no one wants to be attacked and robbed every year.
Speed is of the essence in war. At a single command, the army set off. The Xiongnu on the other side never expected that the Tianqi people, who had always been passively attacked, would one day take the initiative to strike, and do so without warning.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
A fierce battle suddenly broke out in the silent night. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu secretly approached the enemy's city wall. Under the cover of darkness, the two men, whose bodies were wrapped in black cloth, climbed the city wall as nimbly and lightly as spiders.
In the brief moment when the patrol team on the city wall turned around, the two of them leaped up as swiftly and lightly as cats, without making a sound.
Using the shadows cast by the firelight, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu turned and entered the space. When they came out again, they were wearing the same clothes as the soldiers on the city wall. As the patrol team passed by, they quickly took care of the last two people and then openly followed the patrol team into the city.
At this moment, the city was in complete chaos due to the attack by the Tianqi Kingdom's army. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu took advantage of the chaos to blend into the crowd and easily found a house near the city gate that was deserted to hide in. The attic in the backyard of the house had a very open view and they could clearly see the city gate and the people coming and going on the street.
Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu adjusted their angles, then drew their bows and nocked their arrows, waiting for the enemy commander's head to pass by before they could shoot their arrows out in a flash.
However, half an hour passed, then an hour, and Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu waited from dusk till dawn. Few Xiongnu generals passed by, and even the shouts of battle outside had subsided considerably. Most of the people on the city wall were also dead.
Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu stretched their stiff limbs and headed towards the largest and most luxurious house in the city. When they arrived, they found the house door wide open. Inside, whether the original servants or those who rushed in to scavenge for the remaining valuables, they were all fighting and scrambling for the valuables left in the house.
As for the original owner of the house, it's said he fled from the west of the city long ago, Ji Han/Shi Shaoyu...
Neither of them expected that the battle had barely begun when the previously arrogant Xiongnu general actually fled in the face of the enemy! No wonder the sounds of the battlefield outside disappeared so quickly. What difference is there between an army without a general and a pile of loose sand?
Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu turned and went straight to the east of the city. Looking at the Xiongnu people still putting up a stubborn resistance at the gate, they shouted loudly...
"Your general has abandoned the city and fled. All of you, lay down your weapons and surrender immediately! Those who surrender and raise their hands will not be killed!"
The Huns, who were already in a state of panic due to the absence of their commander, became even more flustered upon hearing Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu's shouts. Some of them even put down their weapons and raised their hands when the Tianqi army outside the city gates shouted "Raise your hands and you will not be killed."
With the first leader taking the lead, the Xiongnu people, seeing that the defeat was unstoppable, also raised their hands. In this way, General Yue left some men to take over the city, while he took advantage of the situation to lead his men to attack the next city.
Thus, General Yue gave the Xiongnu no time to react, using bombs to clear a path, bombarding them all the way to the Xiongnu capital, and even capturing the Xiongnu king and his royal family members alive.
Upon receiving this news, the current emperor, far away in the capital, laughed loudly in the court and ordered General Yue to send men to escort the Xiongnu king and his clan to the capital immediately.
The task of escorting them was originally intended for Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu, but they declined. They had written to the Emperor after the war ended and had now received his reply. They were about to head to the southernmost part of Tianqi Kingdom.
There is a small island that is a source of anxiety for over a billion people. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu went there this time, one to wipe out the pirates at sea, and the other to flatten and hollow out that island. If it weren't for the current technological limitations, they would have liked to blow it up directly.
In the following years, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu were active in various border areas of Tianqi Kingdom. Wherever the two of them were, there was war. The few remaining subjugated countries all called the two of them the Black and White Duo of Tianqi Kingdom. Their terror was so great that it could even stop children from crying at night.
It was at this moment that Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu realized that their points in this world, their faith value and their darkness value were almost the same, which showed the extent of the hatred that people from other countries had for them.
As the process of Tianqi Kingdom unifying the continent gradually came to a successful conclusion, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu's positions rose rapidly. In fact, at the end of the final battle, the emperor even bestowed upon Ji Han the title of a prince of a different surname. Even Ji Han himself did not expect that he, a top scholar in the humanities, would eventually become a prince because of leading troops into battle.
Of course, Shi Shaoyu was also granted the title of Marquis of Anle. It's not that Shi Shaoyu's contributions were inferior to Ji Han's, but Ji Han's aloof demeanor gave people a sense of reliability, while Shi Shaoyu's carefree nature was best left unsaid!
The military merits of two people are usually counted together. Even if the emperor agrees, the ministers would not agree to the two kings from the same family. Therefore, Shi Shaoyu's reward was eventually made into a marquis. Of course, the emperor and the ministers only agreed to him becoming a marquis because they knew that the two of them could not have an heir.
At this time, although external turmoil had subsided, internal strife began to intensify.
In the twentieth year of the Tianqi reign, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu dressed up specially before entering the palace together. No one knew what the two of them said to the emperor alone, but from that day on, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu handed over all their military power and became idle princes and idle marquises.
They even personally obtained an imperial edict from the Emperor, granting them permission to skip court every day like the other ministers. The two of them were now completely free from the center of power, and Ruoshi's house suddenly became deserted.
