Hearing such a large amount, Qin Yue Zhao was both excited and a little worried.

"Uncle, what do you think I should do with these people?"

Huo Tingye was also considering this issue. Hearing her question, he solemnly replied, "Your Highness, we cannot keep the Northern Barbarian soldiers, but we cannot kill the Southern Army. They are a large number of soldiers, but keeping them would be a hidden danger..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Nuo, the deputy commander of the Nan family army, knelt down in front of her despite his injuries.

"Your Highness, if you do not mind, this humble general is willing to step forward and persuade the Southern Army!"

"They were misled by Nan Chengfeng and didn't really want to submit to the Northern Barbarians!"

"Furthermore, General Nan is still in the hands of Prince Heji, the commander of the Northern Barbarians. For the sake of General Nan, I beg Your Highness to give me a chance."

Qin Yue Zhao looked at the man kneeling in front of the pile of corpses.

He wore a thin undergarment and a tattered robe. His forty-year-old face was etched with the marks of time, suggesting that he had had a difficult time in the southern city.

Perhaps due to a severe drought, with no rice or water available in Nancheng for months, the soldiers were truly blinded by Nan Chengfeng's nonsense.

"Very well, then I will entrust the task of persuading the Nan family army to surrender to you!"

She paused, then said, "If they remain obstinate, I will not hesitate to use their blood to appease the spirits of the Huo family!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she threw the torch into the pile of corpses, leaped onto her horse, and rode off into the distance.

After she left, Huo Tingye patted Shen Nuo on the shoulder.

"Her Highness has entrusted you with an important task; you must seize the opportunity."

As Shen Nuo watched the figure gradually disappear into the mist, she silently clenched her fists, her eyes filled with starlight.

Ever since he witnessed the Huo family army's crushing defeat of the Nan family army, he had been filled with admiration for Qin Yue Zhao.

This further solidified my decision.

Join the Huo family army to defeat the Northern Barbarians!

Qin Yue Zhao rode back to the general's mansion and went straight to her bedroom.

Having won such a great victory, she couldn't wait to tell the gods about it.

"By the gods above, Yue Zhao has won! We captured eight thousand enemy soldiers, all thanks to the gas cylinders and skyrocket firecrackers bestowed by the gods. Yue Zhao thanks the gods once again!"

"Yue Zhao did not expect that the army that came to attack the city was not the Northern Barbarian army, but the traitorous Southern family army. They were bewitched by Nan Chengfeng and intended to help the eldest prince Qin Yueming to usurp the throne."

"Yuezhao is worried that her relatives in the capital have been controlled by the eldest prince and wants to break out as soon as possible."

Chu Xiao had been busy all night and had finally fallen asleep when he was woken up by the sounds coming from the copper basin.

He picked up the note and looked at it.

Upon discovering that the report was from Qin Yue Zhao, he was overjoyed.

But when he heard that the Nancheng army had betrayed them and that the gas canisters and fireworks he had sent over had been used to blow up the Nancheng army, he started to worry again.

"The Southern Army has 100,000 men, and you only captured 8,000. How many were killed or wounded?"

Qin Yue Zhao quickly replied: "After clearing the battlefield, the number of people was 48,000. The rest of the corpses were blown beyond recognition and could not be counted."

Chu Xiao: "So, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Southern City Army are still alive and will join forces with the Northern Barbarians?"

Qin Yue Zhao: "Exactly! However, Shen Nuo, the deputy commander of the Southern Army, agreed to persuade him."

Chu Xiao thought for a moment: "Do you have enough weapons?"

Qin Yue Zhao: "If we can truly persuade the Southern Army, I humbly request the gods to bestow upon us more weapons. The veteran soldiers of the Southern Army are still trapped in the Northern Barbarian camp, and I wish to go and rescue them."

Chu Xiao was shocked: "You want to infiltrate the enemy camp at night?"

Qin Yue Zhao: "Exactly! Nan Chengfeng is dead. General Nan was a loyal minister. With him in charge, the Nan family army can be subdued, which will increase Liangcheng's chances of victory."

Chu Xiao could only reply, "Then you wait, I'll figure out a way to get you some more weapons."

Qin Yue Zhao was incredibly excited when she received this message.

"Alright, Yue Zhao will present the gold and silver shortly to express her gratitude for the gods' favor!"
