Having stayed in Liangcheng for so long, this is the perfect time for her to completely get rid of the harassment from the Northern Barbarians.
So she hoped the gods could help her buy more explosives, weapons, and arrows, and preferably another armored vehicle. She decided to march on the Northern Barbarian homeland and make the Northern Barbarian emperor kneel at her feet and beg for mercy.
Chu Xiao had wanted Qin Yue Zhao to do this for a long time.
He immediately went to the table and sent a message to Qin Yuezhao:
"Okay, I'll go buy you weapons now. Until then, you must hold back and not do anything rash."
Qin Yue Zhao was mustering her troops, and several deputy generals of the elite cavalry still had some doubts about what happened last night.
After all, Huangfu Shaohua promised to bring Ling Tianen and Shen Nuo back to the capital before he came to Liangcheng. How could he have been killed by a Northern Barbarian spy while trying to save the people of the Ling family?
"Your Highness, you say General Huangfu was killed by a spy from the Northern Barbarians. What evidence do you have?"
"Yes, all the elite cavalrymen present last night are dead. You can say whatever you want. We are His Majesty's personal guards. Even if the commander is changed, His Majesty must be informed of this matter and we must listen to His Majesty's decision."
"Furthermore, your intention to lead us in attacking the Northern Barbarians is an act of usurpation. Your Highness, please reconsider!"
Qin Yue Zhao looked at the general who was speaking.
They were Duanmu Ying, the general of the Fourth Army, and Hua Chengyi of the Seventh Battalion.
Although these two men were not Huangfu Shaohua's confidants, they were completely obedient to His Majesty.
Upon hearing that they were going to fight the northern barbarians, they immediately jumped out to object.
Qin Yue Zhao pressed down on her sword, looking at their stubborn expressions, wishing she could kill them both with two strikes.
"A general in the field may disobey orders from others; don't you even understand this basic principle?"
"Now, it is not that I am going to fight the Northern Barbarians, but that they have insulted me. If I do not retaliate, what will become of His Majesty's dignity and face?"
“As great soldiers, your duty is to protect your homeland. Now, the northern barbarians have invaded Liangcheng, killing Huangfu Shaohua, the first-class general by His Majesty's side, and the relatives of many other generals.”
"Is it because the dead were not your family members, or are you simply afraid of death that you dare not accompany me on this campaign?"
fear death?
The two generals' expressions changed.
"We are all veterans who have fought on the battlefield. How can Your Highness humiliate us like this?"
"Humiliation?" Qin Yue Zhao laughed in anger: "You've all been humiliated like this by the Northern Barbarians, why don't you say it's humiliation? You call it humiliation just because I'm stating the facts?"
Duanmu Ying raised her neck, panting defiantly.
"Even if Your Highness wants to attack the Northern Barbarians, we still need to make a plan. After all, the Northern Barbarians have so many people and have also won over soldiers from other countries. We can't just launch a direct attack, can we?"
Qin Yue Zhao smiled.
"Soldiers from other countries? What are they? With the help of the gods, how could I be afraid of not being able to defeat them?"
Upon hearing this, Hua Chengyi hesitated.
"Even though you say that, we've never seen one. Who knows if the gods still exist..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Wan'er ran over with the reply.
"Your Highness, the gods have replied, saying they will go and buy us weapons right now!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Wan'er immediately held up the note and shouted to all the still hesitant cavalrymen:
"Did you all hear that? The gods have given their approval to attack the Northern Barbarians, what are you still hesitating for?"
Upon seeing the letter in Qin Yue Zhao's hand, Duanmu Ying and Hua Cheng Yi, who were still hesitating, were slightly taken aback.
In the end, it was the other cavalry generals who clasped their hands in a respectful bow to Qin Yue Zhao:
"Your Highness, this humble general is willing to accompany you on the expedition against the Northern Barbarians and drive them out of the Daqian territory completely!"
"This humble general is also willing to follow Your Highness on the expedition, and will not return until Loulan is conquered!"
"Those who offend our great cause will be punished no matter how far away they are. This humble general is willing to follow Your Highness to kill the enemy!"
