Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The war in the Central Plains has dragged on for a long time.
The three powers of Shu Han, Shangjun, and Langya have temporarily stabilized.
Jiang Yu also focused his attention on Rouran.
In recent years, the Rouran people have been eyeing Shangjun covetously, harassing the county from time to time, which is quite annoying.
Jiang Yu decided to deal with the Rouran first.
This time, Jiang Yu led Gao Ge, Qingqing, Xiao, and Chu Guanzhi to fight against Rouran, and they were the main fighting force.
Accompanying them were Yan Gong, Qi Nuan, Xiao Xing, and others.
Xiao Xing injured her leg in a battle, and the injury was so severe that it left her with a leg ailment. Now, she manages the rear area just like Qi Nuan.
Zhang Liao voluntarily stayed in Shangjun.
Qi Nuan and Jiang Yu both knew what was going on, so they naturally agreed to his request.
The Rouran people were skilled in riding and archery, and the soldiers they brought this time were mostly the most elite cavalry in the army.
The army was divided into three groups of light cavalry and infantry: front, middle, and rear.
The three light cavalry units were led by Jiang Yu, Gao Ge, and Qing Qing respectively, with Qi Nuan, Xiao, and Chu Guanzhi assisting them.
They launched a surprise attack on the Rouran.
Meanwhile, Yan Gong and the others led their troops to stay behind and guard the rear.
The Rouran people are skilled at surprise attacks, and Jiang Yu and his group naturally want to repay them handsomely this time.
Jiang Yu and Qi Nuan led the light cavalry around Wuge Mountain, determined to sweep straight into the royal court with thunderous force.
"drive……"
As the military flag fluttered in the setting sun, the sound of horses' hooves kicked up clouds of dust.
"kill……"
"There are Han soldiers..."
Before the Rouran man could finish speaking, his throat was slit.
Before the Rouran could react, a one-sided massacre was already over.
"Walk……"
Jiang Yu and his group arrived suddenly and left without a trace, just like the wind.
When Ahua and the others arrived, they only saw corpses scattered all over the ground.
"Damn it... I'll teach these Han soldiers a lesson..."
Ahua noticed the soldiers' wounds on the ground. She recognized it as Jiang Yu's swordsmanship. She was surprised that he had personally brought his men here.
Seeing Ahua's serious expression, the Rouran king spoke up:
"Agudo, what did you discover?"
"Jiang Yu, the commander of the troops."
"What? He's the one leading the troops? How dare he be so bold? But now that he's here, he won't be going back."
Seeing the arrogant tone of her brother, Ah Hua reminded him, "Brother, don't underestimate this person."
"Agudu, don't worry, but don't be soft on the people of the Central Plains."
The Rouran king knew that Agudo had grown up in the Central Plains and had been too friendly to them, but the people of the Central Plains would not be soft on them.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will keep an eye on Agudo and will not let her get hurt."
The Rouran king patted Yu Chengzhen on the shoulder.
"Alright, once I kill Jiang Yu, I'll let you marry Aguduo when I get back."
Ahua listened to their words without saying a word; she didn't care about her marriage.
Although she knew her brother was very strong, he had become increasingly arrogant since he ascended the throne.
Jiang Yu and his group came with great force; they probably won't be so easy to deal with.
The three armies joined forces, but only the army led by Gao Ge and Xiao was discovered by the Rouran. However, their offensive was fierce, and even though they were discovered, they did not suffer many casualties.
However, the cavalry led by Qingqing and Chu Guanzhi were very cautious, so they quickly dealt with the enemy soldiers without any conflict.
They achieved a great victory in their first battle against the Rouran.
A surprise attack can only happen once, not twice.
Now we just have to wait for the Rouran to retaliate.
The two armies clashed.
Ahua saw Qi Nuan beside Jiang Yu, as well as Qingqing and the others.
They have all changed a lot. Ahua can hardly recognize Qi Nuan anymore. A Nuan, who was once a child, has grown into an adult.
It gives me the feeling of "my daughter has grown up."
But ever since she chose the Rouran, she knew that she and they could only be enemies.
Whoever it was, their once youthful faces were now weathered and worn, bearing only the coldness of those who had experienced the battlefield.
At this moment, Ahua was dressed in a soft military uniform, and Qi Nuan could no longer see the gentle woman she once was in her.
Meeting an old friend evoked a flood of emotions.
But they didn't have much time to reflect.
Now, if they were to go back to the battlefield, they would only be mortal enemies, nothing more.
"Kill! For the fertile land, the wealth, the women behind you, warriors, draw your scimitars and slaughter the Han army on the other side..."
The Rouran king looked at Jiang Yu with a defiant expression. He had heard that Jiang Yu was very strong, and he wanted to see just how strong he was.
How can sheep from the Central Plains compare to eagles from the grasslands?
"kill……"
Without wasting words, Jiang Yu led the soldiers behind him and charged towards the Rouran.
The Rouran cavalry was indeed formidable, but their Shangjun cavalry was no less powerful.
Clashing swords and thunderous horses, hooves neighing.
No one backed down, and no one softened their stance.
They are the enemies of their own making.
It's either you die or I live.
This war is a contest of absolute strength, a battle of blood and flesh.
With a "bang," Jiang Yu's sword clashed with the Rouran King's blade, sparks flying, and the fighting spirit in their eyes surged.
Ah, the prefect of Shangjun is indeed very strong, but Shangjun has blocked the path of Rouran for so many years, it's time for it to give way.
Jiang Yu brandished his sword, declaring, "The king of Rouran should die here."
He naturally saw the murderous intent and ambition in the eyes of the Rouran king.
He feared that the Central Plains would never have a day of peace.
The murderous intent in their eyes grew stronger.
While keeping an eye on Jiang Yu's condition, Qi Nuan brandished her sword at the Rouran soldiers beside her.
She's getting more and more amazing.
However, she also knew that she could not use the things she learned from the space on mortals.
What she had to do was ensure A-Yu's safety.
With her current skills, she is more than capable of dealing with the people around her.
Ah Hua's martial arts skills are not high, but she is extremely good at embroidery needles.
Yu Chengzhen protected her by her side, giving her the opportunity to use the embroidery needle.
Seeing this, Qi Nuan drew out the crossbow behind her.
Aim at Ahua.
He shot an arrow at her.
When Ahua met Qi Nuan's gaze, she knew that Qi Nuan was declaring war on her.
It was neither the Central Plains nor the Rouran.
Rather, it's between them.
Qi Nuan put away the crossbow after firing an arrow.
Since they were already enemies, then they were enemies. This arrow completely destroyed any friendship between them.
Neither she nor Ahua need to show any mercy to each other.
