Because of this delay, Jiusi and the others distanced themselves from the messengers in front, and there were no more misunderstandings later, but many roadblocks appeared.
The battle between countries is not just a duel on the battlefield. The espionage, assassination and chaos behind the scenes, as well as the business dealings between the parties, are also part of the battle.
Although Jiusi and the others acted in a low-key manner, but food and grass disappeared in many places, how could they not attract the attention of those craftsmen? Following the clues, Jiusi, who was supposed to be in the capital, was being targeted.
Well!
Fortunately, they didn't know that Jiusi had space. Even though they knew that her appearance was unusual, they didn't think that the food and grass were with her. They just thought that she was a diversion. After sending some people to deal with her, they went to investigate again.
The whereabouts of the food and grass have disappeared.
They probably didn't expect that the emperor not only dared to leave the food and grass matter to Jiusi, but also didn't expect that she would be sent to fight at the border.
Because in their minds, no matter how powerful Jiusi is, she is still a woman. To represent Da'an in the competition is a favor from the emperor. Who would have thought that the emperor would let Jiusi become an official in order to win this battle!
It was also because of this inherent concept that they did not take Jiusi too seriously, and missed the best interception opportunity. This also caused them to send out many wrong messages, which led to their defeat on the battlefield.
On the way, Jiusi also sent a letter to January and received her reply.
It was also a coincidence that when Jiusi's letter was sent, he had just set out from the border in January. As soon as he received her letter, he immediately turned around and returned to the border. While waiting for them to meet up, he also inquired about a lot of information.
.
In fact, according to Jiusi, she should have returned to Beijing in January. After all, she only needs to escort Xue Baochai and the others to the border, but she can't handle the chaos at the border!
Even before they left the country, they encountered many bandits who were robbing them. After they left the country's borders and reached the unattended area at the junction, there were even more horse bandits and bandits.
There were even officers and soldiers from other countries who wanted to make money by pretending to be bandits and taking advantage of the situation. However, just as a precaution, January could only escort them for a while longer, and this was the delay until now.
This also shows how chaotic and dangerous the border today is, and those officers and soldiers who want to make money may not just want to make money, but more of a temptation.
The unattended area at the junction of various countries is not so much that no one cares about it, but it is a tacit understanding among the monarchs of various countries to not cross the border.
In the past, no matter how chaotic the place was, no officers and soldiers would come out to rob the place. Now that they did this, they were not just testing Da'an's attitude.
If the soldiers at the border take control, then they will have reason to find trouble and take the opportunity to find an excuse to start a war. If they don't, then they will approach step by step and think of ways to expand their territory.
As soon as Jiusi received January's reply, she knew that the war was not far away, so she hurried faster and faster. When she met the people who came to stop her, she quickly and ruthlessly dealt with them.
That kind of randomness.
Originally, she and the emperor had estimated that it would take a month to reach the border due to the rush and the delay in transporting grain and grass, but she arrived in less than half a month.
There are advantages to being fast, but there are also troubles to being fast. The good thing is that she can strike first before the enemy can react, but the trouble is that she can't enter the military camp without anyone to guide her.
Before she and February even got close to the military camp, they were stopped there by a group of patrolling soldiers in armor.
After the leading young general looked them up and down, he frowned and asked: "Who are you and why are you here? Don't you know that the military camp is an important place and others are not allowed to approach it?"
Hearing this, Jiusi was about to take the imperial edict from her sleeves when the soldiers pointed their weapons at her and stared at her with a very unkind expression: "Don't move, what do you want to do?"
Seeing this, Yue Yue's face immediately turned cold: "Are you going too far by doing this? Let's not say that my master came here under orders. Others would not act like this. I advise you to hurry up and get rid of him.
You'd better take your weapons back, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you."
When those people heard what they said, their faces became even uglier. Not only did they not withdraw their weapons, they even moved forward a little further.
Seeing this, Yue Er glanced at Jiusi. When he saw Jiusi nodding, he kicked off his feet and flew up. Then, with his hands on the horse's back, he did a spinning kick and kicked the person away.
Because her speed was too fast, those people were still a little unresponsive until they fell to the ground!
The leading young general was not kicked away because he did not surround him, but he could not escape being beaten by February.
As soon as he raised his spear to attack Yue Yue, Yue Yue took advantage of the situation and snatched the spear away, but she knocked him down.
Seeing that he couldn't get up after being pressed down by Yue Yue with a spear, Jiusi got off his horse, slowly took out the imperial edict, spread it out in front of him: "Look clearly, what is written on it, don't move.
If I really want to do something, you guys will have been dealt with by me before you even get close to me, do you understand?"
The young general was already ashamed and angry because he was knocked down by a woman. Now that he saw this imperial edict and learned that she was the woman sent by the emperor, he became even more dissatisfied.
Since this imperial edict was issued, word has spread throughout the army that this woman, who said she was here to help, was actually sent by the emperor to seize power and cause trouble because he did not trust the general. Even if the general told everyone how powerful this person was, everyone still didn't understand.
They didn't believe it, so they were all very dissatisfied with the upcoming female general.
There was a person with high martial arts skills who even planned to give the other party a showdown, but he didn't expect that she would come so quickly, and even the maid with him was so skilled.
But even though he knew that the other party was powerful, he still had an angry look on his face, and his tone of voice was even more unkind: "So you are the woman sent by the emperor. Huh, don't think that you can run rampant in the army with the emperor's backing because of your skills.
There are many capable people out there, and we won't follow your rules.
You want to take away the power of our general and make us listen to you, so go ahead and dream!"
When Jiusi heard what he said, he frowned subconsciously and said displeasedly: "Who told you that I came to seize power? I was just ordered to do a favor. It's just the exhausting work of your general."
Son, I'm not interested.
It's a job I didn't want to do in the first place, and now that you idiots like you are included in it, I'm even less interested."
The young general was quite happy when he heard her say that he was not here to seize power. He even wanted to tell her off, but in the end he got angry when she even smiled and was scolded by her for being stupid.
He is a maidservant who is not as skilled as her, but he is also not an ordinary person. He climbed to this position at a young age, and he was killed. How could he endure being humiliated by her.
