Chapter 2: Bloodshed on the battlefield and escape from the Immortal Gate
Chapter 117 Ambush
Battles are always cruel. Even though Jiang Jun was completely overwhelmed this time, there were still many casualties.
After all, annihilating Wu's 100,000-strong army is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Even if you have 100,000 pigs to slaughter, unexpected situations may occur, let alone a war.
After the war, it is natural to clean up the battlefield. In the cold weapon era, the war damage of ordnance is usually relatively small, especially those war horses. These are treasures and cannot be wasted. Of course, these arrangements can be made as long as the generals are not responsible.
Considering that it would take more than a day for the main force of the Wu army to arrive on the battlefield, the army finally withdrew to Qixia Pass. After all, there were too many military supplies seized this time. Fortunately, Jiang State's cavalry was all used this time, which was easy to carry.
That night, Qixiaguan celebrated the victory of the first battle. Jiang Meiliang actually issued a military order and allowed the soldiers to drink. In the evening, a bonfire party was held. The entire military camp sang and danced, and it was a joyous event, but everyone knew in their hearts that the war was not far away.
But before you could make any move, Brother Chen sighed and helped your sister up, saying that he agreed to treat her.
Before he finished speaking, the emperor happily announced that he would marry the two of them, and an engagement ceremony would be arranged soon, and the matter was settled.
You were a little dazed, but Brother Chen turned around and touched your hair, and whispered to you that he will always be your Brother Chen, and he will naturally treat your sister with care, so you can rest assured that he will be fine.
There were no changes in the days that followed. The cold would occur on the same day every month. Most of the time, Brother Chen would arrive at your house in advance. When your sister had a cold attack, he would mobilize his true energy to help her treat it.
Brother Chen seemed extremely uncomfortable every time, and a large amount of white mist evaporated from his body, but he never made any cry of pain, he just sat cross-legged on the ground and silently used the exercises to adjust his breath.
Each time he sat cross-legged on the ground like that for three days in a row, unable to move. Although he recovered his mobility after three days, he still looked very weak.
You felt very distressed and always looked after him silently, but your sister rarely came to care about him and only went to complete her training. From then on, there was a huge gap between you and your sister.
.
Nearly two years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Brother Chen has never missed a single treatment. Fortunately, he has not had any problems, which makes you feel relieved.
And not long after, another major event happened. Qingshui Kingdom and Yuntian Kingdom, which were located around Donglai Kingdom, simultaneously sent troops to invade Donglai Kingdom.
Your father, as the general of the army, immediately led the army to fight against the Qingshui Kingdom, and the prince led another army to fight against the Yuntian Kingdom.
Before leaving, your father sent you sisters to Tiangang Villa. Because of the special nature of Tiangang Villa, no one would destroy Tiangang Villa even if Donglai Kingdom was attacked, and it would also be convenient for your treatment if the war came to a stalemate.
Indeed, just as my father expected, the war lasted for five years. Due to Donglai's proper tactics, which only defended but did not attack, the long-term confrontation was a severe test for logistical supplies. The consumption was too great. In the end, Donglai was defeated.
Due to the intervention of the academy monks, Qingshui Kingdom and Yuntian Kingdom had to withdraw their troops and return empty-handed.
And something more serious happened this year, that is, you also fell ill. It seems that you are suffering from the same cold poison as your sister, but in fact there is this essential difference.
