At the forefront of them,
Zhao Jun and Zhao Zheng looked tired. They sat close together, saying little, just resting. Every now and then, they would listen to Qiu Dayu and Xia Minhan talking about everyday things and chuckle lightly.
In the back row, Zhao Chuan and Zhao Yi still looked exhausted.
Zhao Chuan had a bitter face.
"Why are we so unlucky to be assigned to go on an expedition with the general? If only we were guarding the city on the border."
He regretted joining the army. The grueling training every day was driving him crazy. Now, with troops being sent to Northern Qi, he had to travel 300 li (150 kilometers) every day, and if he encountered enemy forces, he had to fight on the spot.
He suffered from back pain, couldn't eat or sleep well, and truly regretted his actions.
It's all because of that jerk Qiu Dayu.
Zhao Yi glanced at Zhao Chuan sideways. This Zhao Chuan was truly useless.
"If everyone thought like you, how could we possibly fight this war?"
"We might just achieve something great on this military expedition."
He was also afraid of death; even after being on the battlefield once, he was still afraid.
As I said before, none of them are married yet.
On the battlefield, it's all real swords and guns.
But if fear were useful, then there would be no need to fight this war.
If all soldiers thought like Zhao Chuan, the country would perish sooner or later.
As men of Dongjin, if we don't serve our country, are we just waiting to become slaves of a conquered nation?
As Zhao Yi thought this, he couldn't help but feel proud.
With General Gu around in Dongjin, he has nothing to fear.
Zhao Chuan prayed in his heart, "I hope so." They waited for the day when they could achieve great things.
A whooshing sound swept past him, startling Zhao Chuan. "Who is that? Riding a horse like that, aren't they afraid of hurting someone?"
Qiu Dayu brushed the dust off his side, looked at the dark red figure, and remembered...
"In the last war, she was the one who brought in reinforcements. I think her name was... Feng..."
Xia Minhan: "Feng Qi."
He was deeply impressed by Feng Qi from that last battle.
Qiu Dayu nodded, "Yes, yes, let's call her Feng Qi. She is our Dongjin's savior. Without her, although we wouldn't have been defeated with the general here, our Dongjin soldiers would have suffered heavy losses."
“General Gu!” Feng Qi, dressed in a dark red outfit, suddenly appeared in front of Gu Qian.
The woman in front of me was pale and weak from losing too much blood on the day she gave birth, but she stood very straight.
Gu Qian had already noticed Feng Qi's appearance a few days earlier than he had expected.
"General, enemy activity!" Just then, Captain Qin suddenly approached and looked towards the distant bushes.
Gu Qian also noticed the unusual activity in the distance.
He looked at Feng Qi, "How many people did you bring?"
Feng Qi: "One hundred thousand soldiers!"
Gu Qian nodded slightly, then gave the order in a deep voice.
"Set off!"
All the soldiers were fully equipped and ready to go.
Gu Qian himself only had 100,000 soldiers. He thought to himself, "They've come, just in time to be useful."
Although he knew that Feng Qi would eventually turn against him, it wasn't now.
Now, they must work together to attack Northern Qi.
Feng Qi followed silently behind, without saying a word.
Commandant Qin slowed his pace and rode alongside Feng Qi.
"Young man, I've noticed you've lost weight."
Feng Qi stared straight ahead, her face expressionless.
Receiving no response, Captain Qin, feeling awkward and embarrassed, followed behind Gu Qian.
"General, Brother Feng's horsemanship is truly remarkable."
Gu Qian: "It's not easy for you, Colonel Qin, to praise me like that."
Qin, the captain, once boasted that he was the fiercest general in this military camp.
