He knew that at least half of the soldiers in the Northern Qi army were just there to make up the numbers.
Ling Qi and Ling Ba were like two cunning loaches, causing the enemy general a great deal of trouble.
The enemy forces, after a night's rest, failed to capture Youzhou, the city that originally belonged to them.
That's right, their original target was Youzhou.
Because they learned from their scouts that Gu Qian was currently in Ganzhou City.
With no commander in the army, it's the perfect opportunity to strike.
But now, they've been thrown off balance by Ling Qi and Ling Ba.
They changed their strategy and began to split their forces into two groups.
They attacked Youzhou on one side and Ganzhou on the other.
Early in the morning, enemy battle cries rang out simultaneously outside the cities of Ganzhou and Youzhou.
Standing atop the city tower of Ganzhou, Gu Qian surveyed the enemy troops below, his calm eyes revealing his composure.
"General, the enemy is coming. Should we engage them in battle or hold our ground and refuse to engage?"
Gu Qian's fingertips twitched slightly, "Hold firm and don't come out!"
Commandant Qin: "That Youzhou city..."
Gu Qian: "General Yue will make his own decision." Yue Peng was indeed the garrison commander of Youzhou.
...After the old man returned to Lingnan Village, he and Liu began to arrange Zhao Juan's marriage the very next day.
When Liu heard that Zhao Juan had met a good man, and that it was even a marriage proposal, she was extremely surprised.
But more than anything, there were surprises.
With Liu's help, Zhao Juan went to find the village chief and was adopted by Old Man Zhao.
This was quite a strange story in the village.
The Liu couple didn't take it seriously. They never concerned themselves with Zhao Juan's affairs.
Zhao Juan's wedding room was chosen in Old Man Zhao's courtyard, which moved Zhao Juan to tears.
That night, Xia Minhan and Qiu Xu, the siblings who had been forgotten by Qiu Yan, returned home after school.
Xia Minhan went home yesterday after school.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, he and Qiu Xu went to Lingnan Village together.
During this time, Xia Minhan has been by Qiu Xu's side the whole time.
After spending a day in Baiyang, Qiu Yan prepared to go to Qingyun.
To her relief, no more men in black have disturbed their lives today.
Although I don't know how long this peaceful life can last, I'll take it one day at a time.
When Qiu Ling'er found out, she really wanted to go with them.
Therefore, she went to curry favor with Old Master Mu.
"Sir, please come with me to Qingyun. Once there, I will not only be your student, but also your granddaughter."
I will serve you your food and clothing, and take care of your daily life.
She wanted to be with her sister, learn more, and, most importantly, wished for Old Master Mu to be happier in his later years.
Grandpa Mu's family lives away from home, so he inevitably feels lonely.
"No, no, if you want to go, I'll give you a few days off." Qiu Ling'er tried to persuade him, but she couldn't get Old Master Mu to agree.
Qiu Yan also wanted to take her younger sister to Qingyun.
Since her younger sister had said so, she replied with a smile to Old Master Mu:
"Grandpa Mu, Qingyun Mountain and clear water, with lush forests and lakes, is a wonderful place."
"From what you've said, it seems like living in seclusion would be a good option."
Qiu Yan nodded in agreement.
She had heard her second uncle say that Prefect Xu's father-in-law lived in seclusion in Qingyun Mountain, but she had never met him.
"Sir, now that you're gone, I'll personally build you a small wooden cabin."
Qiu Ling'er pictured reading in the mountains and forests, a smile playing on her lips.
This time, Elder Mu did not hesitate.
As people get older, they inevitably need a quiet place.
He laughed and said to Qiu Ling'er, "Alright, as you say. But we have a deal, you have to keep your word about the little wooden house."
For the first time ever, Elder Mu granted Qiu Ling'er's request.
