After the battle, everyone was covered in blood, and the smell of blood permeated the entire camp, but Jiang Yu remained unfazed.
"Damn it!" Chang Qing finally couldn't help but curse. "The Dongqing Kingdom is a real scoundrel, joining forces with the Great Wei at this time."
"Every man for himself, or he will be condemned by heaven and earth."
As soon as Jiang Yu spoke, Chang Qing immediately became obedient.
“The Eastern Qing Kingdom is currently suffering from severe flooding, so naturally they are worried that after we defeat the Great Wei, we will turn around and attack them.” Jiang Yu’s fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, a subconscious action that Jiang Yu himself did not even realize, just like Gu Lin’s.
“Look here.”
Jiang Yu pointed to a location on the map, "If the reinforcements from the Eastern Qing Kingdom want to reach the battlefield, they will inevitably have to pass through here. What do you think if we pretend to fight against the Great Wei, but actually have our main force ambush here?"
The atmosphere was quiet for a moment.
"Your Majesty, do you mean... to attack the Eastern Qing Kingdom first?"
Good heavens! Is this a method that an ordinary person could come up with? With reinforcements coming in, instead of continuing the fight, they went and ambushed the reinforcements. Even Chang Qing, who had always thought that the Marquis's use of troops was already strange enough, couldn't help but twitch his lips.
"But if our main force goes to launch a surprise attack on Dongqing, Wei will inevitably find out."
A soldier spoke up, and for a moment, everyone looked at Jiang Yu expectantly.
The Empress Dowager will surely have a solution.
"I will remain here."
"no!"
Chang Qing spoke without thinking, but when he realized that he was speaking to the Empress Dowager, his knees buckled and he knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, I have spoken inappropriately. Please punish me."
"If I stay here, the Great Wei will never guess that our main force is no longer here."
Jiang Yu waved to Chang Qing, signaling him to get up.
"What percentage of the troops does Your Majesty intend to deploy to ambush the Eastern Qing Kingdom?" The strategist, who had remained silent all along, spoke up, clearly agreeing with Jiang Yu's plan.
"Strategist, Her Majesty will be in danger!" Chang Qing couldn't hold back his temper when facing the strategist. Now that the Marquis was in trouble, what would happen to the army's morale if something were to happen to Her Majesty as well?
Does this mean the emperor should personally lead the troops into battle?
"General Chang, this move is risky, but the chances of success are extremely high." The strategist clasped his hands in a fist salute to Jiang Yu. "Please explain further, Your Majesty."
"As I intend, send 80% of our forces there to annihilate all of Dongqing's fighting strength in one fell swoop." As soon as Jiang Yu said this, even the strategist moved his lips. 80%... Only 20% of the forces remained here.
Once the Great Wei launches an attack, then...
"I know you are worried."
A fierce glint appeared in Jiang Yu's eyes. "But if you were the Emperor of Wei, would you wait for reinforcements to arrive and fight to the death, or would you engage us in battle before the reinforcements arrive, wasting your troops in vain?"
She was betting that the Great Wei would wait for the reinforcements from the Eastern Qing Kingdom to arrive on the battlefield.
In the end, no one dared to question Jiang Yu's decision.
"Chang Qing, the task of attacking Dongqing is now in your hands."
After everyone had left the tent, Jiang Yu finally bent his straight back. This battle had truly been arduous...
Daqing's main force is almost all here. If they fail, she doesn't dare to imagine how difficult the road ahead will be for Ayan, and Gu Lin... Once his true identity is exposed, what kind of dilemma will he face?
Therefore, she must win.
She was able to defeat the Great Wei the first time, and she can defeat the Great Wei the second time now.
Jiang Yu came to Jiang He's bedside again and sat quietly.
A strange sense of sorrow spread between the Jiang siblings. Outside the tent, Mei Chu stood for a long time before finally letting out a deep sigh.
Fate plays tricks on people.
......
Greetings.
"My brother has been poisoned by the Lionheart, a deadly poison unique to the Great Ning royal family. He only has one month to live. If A-Qian still chooses to keep the child in her womb after knowing this, please make sure to protect her and the child. Leave the affairs of Great Wei to me."
"Take care, Jiang Yu."
Gu Lin stared at those few lines of text for a long time.
How could this be? How could Jiang He have been hit by Lionheart?
Gu Lin's aura gradually became imposing, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Jing Zhao! It's Jing Zhao again!
"Ling Hai".
"Your subordinate is here."
Upon hearing Gu Lin's voice, Ling Hai immediately appeared, displaying utmost respect.
"Search for me, you must find Jing Zhao's whereabouts."
After Ling Hai left, Gu Lin slowly folded the letter and placed it on his chest.
The Daning royal family...
The royal family of Da Ning had controlled Da Ning for hundreds of years and knew every part of Da Ning like the back of their hand. Jing Zhao took advantage of this advantage, which made it impossible for him to find any trace of Jing Zhao after more than ten years of searching.
The Lionheart, only Jing Zhao possesses it.
But how did Jing Zhao know about his past life?
The scene from his past life flashed before his eyes again, that mole... Gu Lin's heart trembled slightly. As long as it was confirmed that the information was not leaked by Gu Qingfeng and Gu Qingyao, then there must be a mole who was extremely close to them.
As the sun set, Gu Lin arrived in Heng County once again.
"Where is your general?"
Gu Lin always came as Huo Xiang, and the people in the military camp were already familiar with his presence. Therefore, Gu Lin arrived at Bai Qian's tent almost without any obstacles.
"Is there any news about the Marquis?"
Upon seeing Gu Lin, Bai Qian immediately stood up, then, thinking of the child in her womb, she reached out to protect her stomach.
"Judging by the time, Doctor Mei should have arrived at the front lines by now, and there should be news coming back?" Bai Qian asked anxiously. "Can the Marquis's poison be cured?"
Seeing that Gu Lin remained silent for a long time, Bai Qian's expression gradually froze.
"Can't...can't it be solved?"
Bai Qian's voice trembled as she shook her head at Gu Lin, "Gu Lin, say something, why won't you say anything?"
“The poison Jiang He was afflicted with is the Lionheart, a unique to the Da Ning royal family, and Mei Chu said he couldn’t cure it either.” Gu Lin’s face showed a hint of pity. “According to Mei Chu’s assessment, Jiang He… should only have one month left to live.”
"You're lying to me."
Bai Qian's eyes were filled with tears, and her vision was already blurry.
"Gu Lin, you're lying to me, aren't you?" Bai Qian was starting to go crazy. "It must be because I was being unreasonable and insisted on competing with you, so you deliberately lied to me. I will never compete with you again. Don't lie to me, tell me what really happened to Jiang He?"
What I just said is true.
Gu Lin reached out and supported Bai Qian, who was about to fall. "Ayu said that you can choose whether or not to keep the baby in your belly."
"I told you, I must save my child!"
Bai Qian spoke hysterically, and the next second everything went black as she fell into a coma.
