On the seventh day of the second lunar month, the sound of drums outside Qingzhou City was deafening.

On the city wall, Chen Jingxi stood tall and straight in her military uniform. Her gaze was determined as she gazed down at the soldiers waiting in formation below. A gentle breeze rustled her clothes.

"Soldiers, today the enemy is at the gates of our city, attempting to trample on our homes and capture our loved ones. Behind us are our parents, wives, and children, the land on which we have lived for generations, and everything we have!"

The soldiers looked up at her, the fire in their eyes rekindled.

"Today's battle is a battle of life and death, a battle of glory. I swear hereby that whoever kills one enemy will be rewarded with a hundred taels! This is the merit of a warrior, and he deserves a rich reward."

When everyone heard this, excitement glimmered in their eyes.

Chen Jingxi paused, then raised his voice. "If anyone can kill ten enemies, I will make him a centurion and reward him with a thousand taels of silver! This thousand taels of silver will be enough for you to return home in glory and bring honor to your family."

There was a commotion in the army, and many soldiers were eager to try.

"If you can kill a hundred enemies, I will make you a general and reward you with a thousand gold coins! From then on, you will be in a high position of power and enjoy wealth and glory."

"For those who have died, the money will be sent to their families and collected by their families!"

Chen Jingxi suddenly drew the sword from his waist and pointed it in the direction of the distant enemy. "Now, the enemy is right before our eyes. Wealth, glory, and status are all within your reach. Go, use your bravery and passion to exchange for everything you deserve!"

The soldiers below the city erupted in earth-shaking roars: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Ling Ying and the others were stunned. The princess was really good at bragging. It was not that the princess was really amazing, but it felt like the prince's worries were in vain.

Looking at the soldiers fighting in the distance, Chen Jingxi breathed a sigh of relief, and with a "clang", the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

"Oh my god, this sword is so heavy. Han Yu, bring me a glass of water, my throat is burning from shouting."

Han Yu quickly handed over a water bag and said, "Princess, you are amazing. Just a few words can boost the morale of the soldiers."

Compared with the battlefield commanded by Fang Cai yesterday, the difference is really not a little bit.

Chen Jingxi smiled and said nothing. No matter what time, people are the same, with high positions and generous salaries.

If this happened in modern times, we would tell college students to get internship certificates, and tell the 996 office workers who are exhausted as hell that our company is 955, no overtime on weekends, no holidays, no work groups, and a monthly salary of tens of thousands.

There is no educational requirement. As long as you do a good job, you will be promoted and given a raise. She can treat the company as her home and the boss as her father.

When two armies fight, the bravest one wins. The soldiers of Daxia were filled with murderous intent because of Chen Jingxi's words, while the soldiers of Turkic and Wanfan had been huddled in the mountains for more than half a month. After the battle yesterday, they had not eaten well, so their morale was naturally weakened.

In the distance, the flags of the Turkic army were flying, and the Turkic commander on the high platform was staring at the red color in the distance in a trance.

The general beside him whispered, "General, is it true that the King Su of Daxia is not in Qingzhou City?" Why did this soldier suddenly become so brave? It was a huge difference compared to yesterday.

Yesterday they sent out 20,000 soldiers to lead the charge and found that the Daxia soldiers were very weak. They also confirmed that Chu Jinghuai was not in Qingzhou City.

The Turkic commander pointed his whip at the distant city wall and asked, "Is that Princess Su of Daxia?"

The general beside him looked at the eye-catching red uniform on the top of the city wall, hesitated for a moment and said, "It looks like it should be the Princess Su of Daxia."

The woman who could appear on the Qingzhou city wall at this time must be the Princess Su.

The Turkic leader watched for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha, everyone says that Daxia women are weak, but this Princess Su is even more beautiful than any Turkic woman."

The smile of the general beside him froze, and he didn't know whether he should agree with the general.

"General, the morale of Daxia is high. Why don't we avoid their attack first?"

The Turkic commander raised his hand and said, "Attack the city with all your might. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy. Capture Princess Su alive and you will be rewarded with a thousand households!"

"yes."

By dusk, the Turks and Wanfan finally called off their troops. Seeing the enemy retreat so quickly with the horns, everyone on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief, and the soldiers couldn't help but cheer.

Four lieutenants came quickly to Chen Jingxi's side. Their armor was still stained with blood and dust. Their faces were full of fatigue, but their eyes could not hide the excitement. "Your subordinates are here to see the princess!"

Chen Jingxi quickly helped the man up. "Generals, you have worked hard. You have made great contributions in this battle. I will report this to the prince, and you will reward them according to their merits."

"Thank you, Princess."

"Generals, you are too polite. I think you are so brave. You will be promoted to nobility and ministers in the near future."

The four lieutenants were stunned at first, then looked at each other in bewilderment. The words "noble title, prime minister" were too appealing. Like a stone dropped into a calm lake, they stirred ripples in their hearts.

They are all over forty years old and have been struggling in the officialdom and on the battlefield for many years, but they are still only fourth-rank military officers. How many more years can they gallop on the battlefield and kill the enemy?

After all, the world belongs to the Chu family. It doesn't matter who the emperor is. They are just trying to find a future. Following Prince Su might really be an opportunity. At least it is much better than following Fang Cai.

When they thought of Fang Cai, their hearts were filled with disdain and resentment. The enemy army was at the gates of the city, but the commander-in-chief actually fled in the face of the enemy. He was simply a waste. If they followed this waste, they would never get ahead.

"We will obey the princess' orders."

Chen Jingxi smiled faintly. No one was better than her at making empty promises. It couldn't be said that it was just empty promises. If they were really capable, they could be made marquises, not to mention prime ministers.

"Generals, please go down and rest for a while. We have a tough battle tomorrow. The fate of Qingzhou City depends entirely on you, generals."
