Zhou Xinghuai didn't ask a beauty to accompany him for two days, nor did he go to court, he locked himself in the Taiji Palace, except for the little eunuch who sent food and drink, no one was allowed to enter.

This can make those Wenchen anxious, when have they seen such Zhou Xinghuai, after the first battle of the Yue Kingdom, the Wenchen deeply felt that their status was threatened, and they were waiting in line to give Zhou Xinghuai eye medicine, Zhou Xinghuai avoided people, you said you don't worry.

One by one, they blocked outside the Taiji Hall and shouted to see His Majesty, and the tear-jerking call made Zhou Xinghuai think that he was going to die in a trance.

The most ferocious was the first auxiliary minister Ding Yong, who dragged his old body and complained about the barbarism and stubbornness of the generals, saying that the Great Zhou must not rely on such protection, in case they have different hearts, the Great Zhou will be over.

Zhou Xinghuai just wanted to think about something quietly, but these people made him feel more noisy than usual, plucked out his ears, Zhou Xinghuai got up and opened the door of the Taiji Palace.

"Your Majesty, you can come out Your Majesty, but you can make the old minister anxious."

Ding Yong immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty must not reuse those generals, they are obedient when they get cheap, a group of rude soldiers, once they get out of control, it is my Great Zhou Jiangshan that will be endangered, Your Majesty think twice!" ”

Zhou Xinghuai glanced at Ding Yong: "You don't need a general, when the enemy comes to attack my Great Zhou, will you go to defend against the enemy?" All of you, which one dares to call a battle before the enemy army, and which one dares to go on the field to kill the enemy, huh? ”

Ding Yong's mouth moved, and in the end he couldn't make a sound, let alone the other people who followed Ding Yong's footsteps, they looked at each other, not knowing what Zhou Xinghuai meant.

Zhou Xinghuai snorted coldly, bypassed the ministers who were kneeling together, walked to the high platform of the palace wall, glanced at the scene of the imperial city from afar, and let out a long breath.

"Spread my will, the forbidden army has a meritorious service in retreating from the enemy, and each person will be rewarded with half a year's salary, and the dead will be given a pension of one hundred taels."

"In addition, the six princesses have meritorious service in leading the troops, and they are specially named women generals, and they enjoy the right to participate in the war."

Zhou Xinghuai said aloud to the little eunuch who accompanied him: "Tell the sixth princess that I have agreed to her request." ”

Before Jiang Xue escorted Baili Tongyi back to Yueguo, this decree reached her, and holding Ming Huang's holy decree, Jiang Xue breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, in the future, against the Iron Buddha Department, Da Zhou may still have the possibility of survival.

Jiang Xue led 5,000 cavalry, brought rich grain and grass, and quickly whipped his horses, and sent Baili Tongyu to the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty on the eighth day.

Jiang Xue handed over the prepared horses and dry food to Baili Tongyu: "The ten-day covenant, one moment later, this covenant will be invalidated." ”

Baili Tong Fei got on the horse, and looked at Jiang Xue deeply before leaving, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance in his heart, Jiang Xue also looked back at him without a trace of expression.

Whipping up the horse, the figure of Baili Tongyan quickly disappeared, and Si Qixiu approached Jiang Xue: "Aren't you afraid that he won't come back?" If it is really an attack on the Yue Kingdom, these 5,000 cavalry will not be enough. ”

"I explained to Li Sihai before I came, and after ten days without news from the communication army, I directly led an army of 30,000 troops to attack the Yue country, this time, no matter what the result is, I will be tough with the Yue country to the end."

What Jiang Xue didn't say was that if he couldn't even win the Yue Kingdom, there would be no hope in the face of the murderous Tiefu Department in the future.

Jiang Xue tied up her horse and ordered to camp and rest, take turns on duty, and recuperate early.

The purpose of sending Baili Tongyu to the border of the Great Zhou is to reserve a good time to rest and recuperate, even if Baili Tongyu repents and leads the troops to attack, they have the spare strength to deal with it.

This is the ninth day, and as the ten-day covenant gets closer and closer, the figure of Baili Tongyu has not appeared for a long time, and the soldiers are becoming more and more anxious.

They began to want to attack Yue Guo directly, Jiang Xue didn't say much, only said "wait", they didn't open their mouths, according to Jiang Xue's instructions, adjust their breath every day, play two sets of military body boxing and wait for the ten-day appointment to come.

At dawn on the tenth day, a black army came from the north, and the sentry immediately issued a vigilance, and Jiang Xue, who closed her eyes and recuperated, immediately opened her eyes and stood up.

The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer, and the leader is a person dressed as a Yue country, as well as a hundred miles away from the same man who is missing an arm.

"Phew—"

Jiang Xue found several large boxes behind the army with sharp eyes, and she stepped forward and arched her hand: "The eighth prince is trustworthy." ”

Baili Tong bowed his head slightly, and introduced to Jiang Xue the person dressed as a nobleman of the Yue Kingdom next to him: "This is my fifth royal brother, Baili Trailwalk." ”

Baili Yixing raised his chin high and was extremely arrogant, glanced at Jiang Xue obliquely, and his words were full of contempt: "Old eight, you were actually cut off by a woman, you really lost my face in Yueguo." ”

Jiang Xue was not ashamed or annoyed, and smiled slightly: "Then your country might as well be more embarrassed, your country's army was also led by me to fight back, I heard the eighth prince say that this 10,000-strong army is all elite, and it can't defeat the soldiers trained by one of my women, and I don't know if your country is boasting about its strength, or my Da Zhou is too strong." ”

Baili Yixing's eyes immediately became angry, and he pointed at Jiang Xue and said: "What a woman with sharp teeth, my eighth brother is not good at learning, and he has nothing to say if he loses to you, I am not afraid of you, do you dare to fight with me?" ”

Jiang Xue made an inquiring expression: "There is no color head, why do you want to fight?" ”

Baili Trailwalking immediately turned around and waved his hand, and several small soldiers immediately unloaded the box and carried it over, and Baili Trailwalking opened the lid, revealing stacks of silver and gold, as well as some tourmaline stones.

"There are 140,000 silver here, 150,000 gold, a box of fine tourmaline stones, if you can win against me, all of them will be owned by the Great Zhou, if you lose to me, the previous conditions will be written off, how about it?"

Jiang Xue looked at the box full of dazzling and attractive wealth, pursed the corners of her mouth, and did not answer, Baili Yixing immediately said sarcastically: "What? Can't? Then go back to your big week! ”

Si Qixiu stared at Jiang Xue closely, he was afraid that Jiang Xue would be provoked by Baili Trailwalker and agreed to this challenge, they had obviously won, and Baili Trailwalker was playing tricks.

Jiang Xue clapped her hands and pulled out the saber on her waist, which she exchanged from the system, and today is the first time she will use it, so she will use the blood of Baili Trail to open the blade.

Jiang Xue bent the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "How come, I was just thinking, the blade is sharp, and it will not be good to hurt the fifth prince for a while." ”

Baili Yixing's face turned pale, and he pulled out his scimitar: "Life or death, sixth princess, please!" ”

"That's offended."

Hmmm-

Bang bang bang

When—

Baili Trailwalk's scimitar was broken in two, and his body was also painted, and the whole person looked embarrassed, on the other hand, Jiang Xue's clothes were neat and tidy, and even her hair was not messy.

No, it can't be!

Baili Yixing picked up his broken scimitar, which was made of Xuantie, and was cut in two by a sword, Baili Yixing looked at Jiang Xue hatefully, he didn't dare to admit that he had lost to a woman.

"Are all the women of your Great Zhou as good at fighting as you?"

Jiang Xue inserted her sword into the sheath and proudly brushed her long hair tied high: "Da Zhou's daughters are all excellent, but I am the best." ”

Baili Yixing packed up the remnant knife, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, and opened his eyes wide: "I am willing to lose the bet, and the things belong to the Great Zhou, and I will not be close to the border of the Great Zhou for a hundred years after that." ”

Jiang Xue hugged her fists and saluted back: "The fifth prince swears again, and admires it." ”

Baili Yixing turned over and said to Jiang Xue: "It's a blessing that Da Zhou has you." Then he let out a long whistle and rode back to the Yue country.

Baili Tongyi nodded at Jiang Xue, followed and left, he rode his horse to catch up with Baili Trailwalk: "How?" Does it prove that what I say is true? ”

Baili Yixing glanced at Baili Tong's empty left sleeve, didn't say a word, and said after a while: "If Da Zhou is a person like Xiang Liu, I will never invade Da Zhou, the rumors may not be true, we underestimated Da Zhou." ”

Baili Tongyu was satisfied, after he returned to China, no one believed him, in the Yue country, the status of women is low, everyone knows how women can be better than men.

But Baili Tong's severed left arm is not a fraud, and the 10,000 troops have not been returned without a fraud.

In the end, in order to confirm Baili Tongyi's words, the king of Yue sent the martial idiot Baili Yixing and Baili Tongyi to hand over the wealth together, if what Baili Tongyi said was true, and the women of the Great Zhou were so powerful, then Yue Guo could not risk destroying the country.

It's just a little money, and you can earn it back by selling some tourmaline stones, and for money, Yue Guo is the least favorable.

Jiang Xueping got some more silver taels, and when he returned to Da Zhou, he was in a much happier mood, half of which could be used on the military camp.

In less than two years, the Tiefu Ministry will raise troops, and for the battle between the Great Zhou and the Tiefu Ministry, Jiang Xue will use all the lessons he has learned in his life.

Tiefu Ministry, inside the tent of Helian Yuanhai.

"Report, Great Khan, the defeat of the Yue army, paid a large amount of silver to Da Zhou to make amends, we underestimated the strength of Da Zhou."

Helian Yuanhai stroked his beard thoughtfully, Da Zhou used to buy back with money, why is it so hard this time?

"Zheng'er? What is your opinion on this matter? ”

Helian Yuanhai's gaze moved to Helian Zheng who was beating the cowhide drum, Helian Zheng's fingers stopped plucking, and the moving melody came to an abrupt end.

Helian Zheng put the cowhide drum on the felt, picked up the silver cup and took a sip of mare's milk wine: "In my opinion, Da Zhou is nothing more than two possibilities. ”

"One, the strength is indeed strong, we underestimate it."

"Two, the bow of the strong crossbow, a bluff to hide the truth."

Helian Zheng pinched his wine glass, admired the gorgeous and complicated totems on it, and said casually: "I really hope to see the Yue Kingdom and the Great Zhou really fight, so that we can deduce what the strength of the Great Zhou is." ”

Helian Yuanhai nodded appreciatively: "Or Zheng'er, you are thoughtful, so in your opinion, what kind of situation is Da Zhou?" ”

Helian Zheng put down his wine glass, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and his wise eyes seemed to have insight into all the secrets of the world.

"Naturally, it is the second type, if Da Zhou is really strong, how can he let others bully him before, if someone bullies me Tiefu Ministry, Father Khan thinks, does that person still have a way to live?"
