Chu Li was an adopted abandoned infant, raised as the Ninth Prince—a girl disguised as a boy—by Consort Wen to gain favor. However, she was determined to live a 'salted fish' life, just eat...

"impossible!"
Qin Muyu stood up and brushed the table.
His purpose was obvious, and he wanted to target Chu Li again.
Ahri has died once, and he will never let Chu Yeli succeed.
"I have more than 300 prisoners of the Chu State in my hands. Don't you want their lives?"
"You also have more than a hundred prisoners in our hands. Either we exchange prisoners, or we kill or chop them up, it's up to you. However, we will deal with the prisoners in the same way as you deal with them."
Qin Muyu leaned on the table and looked at him coldly:
"If you kill one person, I will kill one person."
"If you kill two, I will kill a pair too."
Chu Yeli narrowed his eyes and said, "Some of the prisoners are unarmed civilians. General Qin, you can't do it."
"I can do it."
"You can't do it."
"I can do it." Qin Muyu said coldly, "If you dare to do it on the first day, I dare to do it on the fifteenth. Compared with me, a young general, you, the former prince, probably need the support of the people more than I do."
"You want to use the captives to force me to lure Chu Li? You are not qualified! Kill them if you want."
I'm afraid there's no need to continue these negotiations.
"Wang Heng, let's go back." He turned around with his sword slung over his shoulder, ready to lead his men away.
Chu Yeli smiled solemnly, people can become ruthless when they are pushed into a corner.
"General Qin, I was just joking with you. Come back."
Qin Muyu didn't listen.
"Major General Qin?"
"Mu Yu."
Qin Muyu stopped suddenly.
Don't call him that!
This is what Ahri can call!
Chu Yeli said, "After all, we have been friends for so many years. If we were not different in status and position, why would we have to fight each other like today? Sit down, and I will return the more than 300 prisoners to you."
Qin Muyu turned his head and looked back, his eyes cold:
"The exchange of prisoners is handled by a special deputy general. I have nothing to say to you!"
"Walk!"
Wang Heng, his trusted guard, quickly followed him and whispered, "Major General, they raided Anping City last night with despicable means, causing us heavy casualties. This battle opened a gap, and I'm afraid there will be even bigger conspiracies behind it."
Qin Muyu said:
"They don't follow the moral code of war, but Da Chu will not sit idly by and wait for death."
"Give orders to the soldiers to be alert and to guard day and night. I will go to discuss matters with General An."
"yes!"
State House Hall.
General An and his six lieutenants gathered around the table, pushing flags in the sand and discussing the current battle situation:
"Prince Dongling attacked Anping City at night. He must have wanted to seize the Mohuai Bridge. This bridge is the only way to the imperial capital."
"We must defend the Mohuai Bridge!"
"The Nanman garrison has 200,000 soldiers..."
"Major General Qin."
Qin Muyu came over with a sword.
General An said, "Young Master Qin has arrived just in time. Come and see tonight's strategy."
Qin Muyu approached, "General An, do you mean to attack the Nanman at night?"
"We must fight back against this evil. We have already discussed a comprehensive plan. Look, the Nanman troops are stationed here, and the Mohuai Bridge is here..."
General An analyzes the strategy.
If we win this battle, we can at least recapture one city and force the southern barbarian army to retreat.
The farther they are from the Mohuai Bridge, the safer the imperial capital will be.
Qin Muyu listened to the strategy, thinking of Chu Yeli's carefree and calm face, and Ahri's blood-soaked and dying appearance, and his grip on the sword tightened:
"Since General An has made arrangements, I would like to play as the vanguard tonight!"
-
Night attack!
When the war broke out, when Da Chu was preparing to retake a city, they broke into an empty city with no soldiers stationed.
Fell into a trap!
Qin Muyu and his men were preparing to retreat back to Anping City, but they saw that on the high city wall, the flag of Da Chu was cut off by a sword, and the flag of Dong Ling was fluttering in the night wind.
The man stood on the high wall, looking down from above, and smiled lazily:
"Please invite General Qin up."
Qin Muyu was captured and brought back to Anping City, only to find that all their people had been detained and the Nanman soldiers had quietly occupied the place.
"Why?"
"How did you do that?"
Anping City is clearly their stronghold!
Chu Yeli raised his elbow and rested it lazily on the city wall, saying, "My people were mixed in with the captives and were taken into the city by you. As soon as night fell, they opened the city gate for me."
It was that simple to come in.
He took the city without any effort.
By the time the Chu army launched a night attack, Chu Yeli had already led his troops to occupy Anping City and won the victory with minimal casualties.
Qin Muyu was stunned, then extremely angry: "Despicable!"
He laughed: "All is fair in war."
As long as the goal can be achieved, the process is secondary.
"Just like you wanted to launch a surprise attack tonight, isn't that despicable? But you were still one step slower than me."
The man slowly turned around and looked out into the dark night. He could almost smell the water droplets on the wind.
"Another eighty miles away is the Mohuai Bridge, right?"
After crossing this bridge, the army can advance into the south of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop and head north to the imperial capital.
In the imperial capital, there is the person he longs for day and night.
Getting closer.
One step closer.
Almost there.
I slowly closed my eyes, and the night wind passed through my fingers. I seemed to be able to touch her soft black hair, and the smoothness of her hair as it passed through my fingertips.
"You managed to capture Anping City by trickery, but there are three more cities to the north, and each city has troops stationed. Don't even think about leading your troops across the bridge!" Qin Muyu looked at him coldly.
Chu Yeli opened his eyes and looked at him:
"Solutions are thought up by people, and roads are paved step by step. What's more, don't I still have you in my hands?"
"Even if I die, I will not write a letter to deceive Chu Li for you."
"No, I won't let you die."
If he died, Chu Li would be sad.
He has to live.
"I just want to see her. General Qin is unwilling to help with such a small favor?"
Qin Muyu looked at him coldly, as if he were an enemy.
Chu Yeli lowered his eyes dimly:
"It's a pity that there is no better introduction except you... What's more regrettable is... She may not want to see me..." The few words she murmured at the end drifted away with the wind, and no one heard them.
He couldn't go to the imperial capital.
But after learning her news, his heart could not be at peace for a moment.
"General Qin, please help me. I will return Anping City to you and will not harm a single soldier of the Chu State."
Chu Yeli walked towards Qin Muyu,
"Help me."
Grabbing his shoulders, "Write a letter and say that you are in danger and want to see her, or... say that I am dead, even if I die, let her come to collect my body. It doesn't matter what you say, as long as she can come..."
"impossible!"
Qin Muyu struggled to shake him off.
"Qin Muyu! I'm not begging you!"
"Then you'll kill me!"
"you!"
"You're the one who killed Ahri, how dare you face me... Ugh!"
"That was an accident!"
Chu Yeli's voice suddenly rose, as if he had touched a reverse scale. He grabbed Qin Muyu's neck and pushed him against the wall.
"At that time, I didn't know it was her, how could I bear to hurt her! Even if I had to betray the whole world, I would not touch her!"
Don't mention that night again.
This is a grudge between him and Chu Li, and it is not up to outsiders to interfere.
"Write to me and ask her to come over!"
