Then they quickly dispersed to the side, and the cavalry were all ready, wielding their swords and slashing at each other.
As the Linyuan soldiers and horses rushing in front did not react, many of them were hit by arrows. In an instant, there was a chaos.
What Ning Guzhou wanted was this opportunity. Without any hesitation, he waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Attack."
In an instant, the two soldiers and horses fought directly on the grassland.
This time, there were about 20,000 soldiers and horses chasing Shuxiu. When they encountered Ning Guzhou's army, the war immediately entered a fierce state.
Linyuan's soldiers and horses were caught off guard, and they tried hard to adjust their arrangement.
Unfortunately, once the opportunity is lost on the battlefield, it is difficult to reverse the situation.
After they knew that the person leading the troops this time was Ning Guzhou, they no longer had any intention of fighting and immediately turned around and fled.
Ning Guzhou did not send troops to chase them this time because he knew that they were really afraid this time.
Shuxiu and his lieutenant walked up to Ning Guzhou, gave a formal military salute, and then said: "Your Majesty, you are fortunate to have lived up to your command!"
Ning Guzhou glanced at her. She had been exposed to the sun and rain every day during this period, and her whole body was darkened.
At the same time, her temperament has also changed greatly.
She looked like a gentle and elegant woman before, but now she has the sharpness of a sword.
Ning Guzhou knew that this battlefield was of great significance to her, so he brought out her potential.
And her performance in this war was also remarkable. In essence, she was born for the battlefield.
He nodded lightly, looked at the deputy general and the soldiers and said, "I hope you're safe."
When Shuxiu heard this sentence, her heart was touched.
She knew Ning Guzhou's arrangements for this war. He had not planned to lead an army to attack Linyuan before.
So he appeared here with a large army at this time to save them.
This means that in his heart, they are very important!
This is Ning Guzhou's magnanimity as the leader of a state and his kindness.
It is hard not to respect such a master and not to shed blood for him.
She immediately started self-examination: "This action was an impromptu decision of mine."
"Although the prince gave me the power to make arbitrary decisions beforehand, this action is still a bit risky after all."
"If there is a next time, I will try my best to make a more comprehensive plan. Please punish me for what happened this time!"
Ning Guzhou's eyes deepened when he looked at Shuxiu. She was not only smart and transparent, but also very clear.
He then said: "You have both merits and demerits this time. After you tell the story in detail, I will reward you based on your merits."
There was a smile in Shuxiu's eyes, and she briefly told Ning Guzhou what happened after they went to Linyuan Royal Court.
After hearing this, Ning Guzhou's expression was a little complicated and he concluded: "So Shanlar is dead, and Wu Yi is in power in Linyuan now?"
Shuxiu nodded.
Ning Guzhou's phoenix eyes were filled with mockery: "Shan Laer never thought that Linyuan would be destroyed in his hands."
"But Wu Yi has always been pretentious, but he is an out-and-out mediocre person. Linyuan will be in chaos if he falls into his hands."
He thought for a moment and then said: "If you come, please send a message to Linyuan immediately, asking them to pay tribute of 100,000 sheep, 50,000 cattle, and 20,000 horses to Qinzhou every year."
"If you don't comply, I will immediately send my troops into the hinterland of Linyuan and sweep across all the tribes in Linyuan."
Shuxiu knew that the amount he mentioned was basically the limit that Linyuan people could bear now.
It was also the maximum amount they could negotiate. Ning Guzhou was using force to make Linyuan surrender.
At the same time, it also broke the foundation of Linyuan's rise.
Shuxiu smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Ning Guzhou glanced at her and said quietly: "Although you did a good job this time, it was too risky after all."
"When encountering similar things in the future, act within your ability."
Shuxiu nodded: "Okay."
Ning Guzhou felt inexplicably familiar after hearing her quick answer.
This tone was clearly the tone Tang Miaoxin used when he scolded her after causing trouble.
He said expressionlessly: "It's too good to learn."
Shuxiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this sentence. It took him a while to understand what he meant, and he couldn't help laughing.
She has been with Tang Miaoxin for a long time, and has been somewhat affected by the way she behaves.
At this time, she was pointed out by Ning Guzhou, and she felt that she had really let herself go during this period of time.
So she suppressed her smile again, bowed her hands to Ning Guzhou, and said seriously: "From now on, I will do my best to protect myself and the lives of all the soldiers."
Ning Guzhou ignored her and asked the deputy general: "Since you left the royal court safely, why were you chased?"
The lieutenant general replied: "We were not very lucky when we came out. We happened to encounter Linyuan's army coming to King Qin."
"There were too many of them, so we fought and retreated, but they were quite shameless and have been chasing us for two days."
After they came out of Linyuan Royal Court, they walked for about a day when they encountered Linyuan's troops.
The number of soldiers and horses in this group was originally not too large. Even if they could not completely annihilate them based on their abilities, it was not difficult to defeat them.
It's just that maybe they played too smoothly before and the return trip was very unsatisfactory.
It may also be that their previous extermination of tribes aroused the anger of other tribes in Linyuan. They met several tribes along the way.
When those tribes came together, their numbers were far greater than their own, and the battle became impossible to fight.
The most dangerous time was when they were attacked from both sides and barely managed to escape.
If Ning Guzhou hadn't come with the army to support him this time, they might really have betrayed him on this grassland.
Ning Guzhou glanced at him and said, "You are just over 4,000 people and you dare to kill someone else's royal court. It would be strange if they don't kill you."
The deputy general laughed innocently and scratched his head: "It seems so."
Shuxiu asked from the side: "Your Majesty, do we want to go further in and attack Linyuan?"
Ning Guzhou shook his head: "There is no point in attacking Linyuan now. We can't send troops to garrison Linyuan."
"This time, many of their tribes were wiped out by us. In addition, Shanlar is dead, and civil strife in Linyuan is imminent."
"If we attack them now, we will force them to unite together, which will cause trouble later."
Shuxiu agrees with his point of view. Many high-ranking people will swell and lose themselves after winning a few battles, but Ning Guzhou remains calm.
In fact, the reason why Ning Guzhou can be so calm is because Lin Rufeng complains like crazy whenever she sees him these days:
"Your Majesty, the new grain from Qinzhou has not arrived yet, and the old grain is no longer enough!"
"If you continue to fight, the whole Qinzhou will starve!"
"I have used all my strength to buy grain, but grain is either unavailable in nearby state capitals or the price is ridiculously expensive."
