After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1390 Come, spread rumors to them
Li Wenhu was stunned: "...Father, Father, you still have a home in Qingfang Mansion? You're keeping a mistress!"

Li Hui retorted, "What mistress? She's still Father's lawful wife..."

Just as he finished speaking, he felt a sudden weight on his back. Li Wenhu's mother was sitting on his back, grabbing his hair and giving him a good beating on the head.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

"A proper wife? Is there a matchmaker and a marriage certificate? Is she listed in the family genealogy? Has she been offered tea to the clan elders? You dare to call her your wife and even want my son to raise her bastard child! Ugh, this is outrageous!"

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting! There's a battle going on right now. You two should act like human beings and stop bringing shame to the Li family!" Elder Li Wu pleaded, feeling utterly humiliated.

"Bah! How dare you elders say such things? If it weren't for your instigation, would we, the members of the Li clan, have suffered such a calamity?!"

"I'll hit you! All the men in the Li family deserve to be beaten! I'll beat you to death!"

Li Wenhu's mother was so provoked that she grabbed Li Hui's hair and slammed his head against the ground repeatedly, like smashing a melon. She was afraid that she would smash Li Hui's head in two.

"I was wrong, wife, I was wrong... Xing'er is a slut, a mistress who can't be brought into the light. I'll leave all my property to Hu Ge'er and his two brothers, and I won't give Xing'er a single copper coin!" Li Hui couldn't take it anymore and had to beg for mercy.

"The family property in Qingfang Prefecture also belongs to my son, it belongs to my son, will you give it to him or not!" Li Wenhu's mother continued to press him without stopping.

"Here, here, here! Both families' businesses belong to Hu Ge'er and his family. Xing'er's family has nothing to do with it! Don't bump into me, I'm dizzy and feel nauseous." Li Hui agreed to everything, hoping that this woman would return to normal and stop going crazy.

Only then did Li Wenhu's mother stop hitting Li Hui's head.

But she lifted Li Hui's clothes, cut off the leather bag that was tied around his waist, and tied it to Li Wenhu's body: "My son, take this. After you return to Shoufu City, live a good life with Liu... Follow the Wei army and listen to their words. You should be able to live. If you can't live, you can at least die more easily."

“Mother…” Li Wenhu cried out, “Mother, let’s live together, let’s go back to Shoufu City and live a good life together.”

"Brother, take your belongings and go back to the city with the Wei army to find your eldest sister and second brother..."

Not only Li Wenhu's family, but all the villagers in this camp were making arrangements for their descendants' funerals.

……

"The Southern nobles have just as many soldiers and troops as we do. The Western nobles' tens of thousands of soldiers died at the hands of their commander. They also have many powerful weapons made of heavenly lightning. We can't fight them head-on. We have to retreat quickly. We can't end up like the Western nobles. It would be too shameful!"

"Moreover, your mission is to cut off the grain supply to Wei. You must order a retreat to ensure that your mission to destroy Wei can be completed!" Protector Ge pleaded, ordering Nan Ge to withdraw his troops.

Nan Ge was a relatively calm and calculating person. After hearing this, he ripped a knife into his own arm and swore, "I, this nobleman, will repay today's shame a thousandfold and slaughter 100,000 people of Liangwei to avenge this humiliation!"

"Beat the drum and give the order! Have Dongxin lead the eastern troops to cover the rear! Southern heroes, retreat... wipe out the tail! Don't let this guy surnamed Zhen find our hiding place!"

"Truly a wise and sagacious nobleman!" General Ge Cong was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to issue the order.

Thump, thump!
The strange sound of war drums started again, but the rhythm had changed.

As the drums sounded, Nan Ge, escorted by his trusted soldiers including Ge Cong, rushed into the darkness.

"Commander, this is bad! The enemy has escaped. Judging by the number of bones hanging from their bodies, they must be the highest-ranking officers!" a scout reported.

"Chase!" Commander Tang now wanted to kill every enemy he saw, not wanting to let even one escape.

but……

“Stop chasing! We still have 10,000 Wei civilians to protect. We can’t afford to chase them!” said Commander Zhong, who was always the most clear-headed.

Commander Zhen nodded: "Commander Zhong is right, let's listen to him."

However… “Mu Da Mu Er, you brothers take the elite troops and go track down this enemy force… Remember, your primary task is self-preservation, followed by tracking, and only as a last resort should you kill the enemy, understand?”

"Understood!" Mu Da and Mu Er were very experienced in reconnaissance work and knew how to do it.

"Gunpowder and other weapons, gather them up and give them most of them." Commander Zhen ordered that at least two packs of gunpowder and other weapons be gathered for each of their sixty men, to be used to save their lives.

"Let's go." Mu Da Mu Er ordered, leading his all-around scouts on horseback to track down Nan Ge and his men.

Whoosh whoosh!

Clang! Clang!

Meanwhile, at the镖师 (bodyguard/escort) camp, the fighting continued. Fourteen hundred cavalrymen joined forces to besiege the Dongxin tribe, and in the blink of an eye, they killed thirty percent of the six hundred eastern soldiers.

Dong Xin was shocked and furious, and ordered: "Heroes of the East, slaughter all the barbarians of Liangwei to protect the lives of the true nobles of Nange and be loyal to the Eastern Desert!"

"Loyalty my ass! You've been fooled!" Among Commander Zhen's troops were soldiers who had diligently studied the language of the Eastern Desert, so they could understand it and speak it.

"Cao boy, tell the people in the east about that rumor...that truth!" Commander Zhen shouted from behind.

Rumors, hurry up and tell them, then let them go back and continue spreading rumors, so as to sow discord between the East and the other tribes of the Eastern Desert!
Commander Cao Xiaoqi, who understood the Dongmo dialect, and several soldiers acknowledged that they had received the message.

The Wei army ceased its attack, merely confronting the Dongxin tribe. Behind their shields, they spoke in the Dongmo language: "Brothers of the East, you have all been deceived by those beasts of the other Dongmo tribes. Look at your appearance! You are not Dongmo people at all. You look like Wei people. You are descendants of a branch of our Wei ancestors!"

“On the ancient complete map of our Great Wei, it is clearly drawn that the land in the east of you, past Dingmangtai, has always been the territory of our ancestors.”

"Ancient history books also say that the land and people of your eastern region were the ancestors of our Great Wei. It's just that due to the long passage of time and the incompetence of one of our dynasties, you were occupied by the beasts of the Eastern Desert and became part of the Eastern Desert!"

“You have been subjected to a genetic and cultural change, and the Eastern Desert has done the same thing to the mountain people. You are aware of this conspiracy, and you are the first victims to be successfully subjected to a genetic and cultural change by the Eastern Desert people!”

"My brothers in the East, wake up! Stop recognizing a thief as your father!"

“This wicked father treats you badly. He beats you, eats you, and treats you like slaves. You are made to do all the hard, tiring, and dangerous work. He treats you like enemies. True compatriots would not do this!”

He shouted these words with great emotion, reason, and even a hint of tears.

Zhen Qianhu was shocked: "This kid Cao is something else. If I were from the East, I would believe it... Bah, I am a genuine Wei man, not some beast from the Eastern Desert."

"Come on, bring those hastily made fake ancient maps and fake ancient history books, send them over to them, let them take a look, and then let them go."

Commander Lü, one of his subordinates, was very disappointed: "Commander, why don't we kill a few more enemy soldiers and let them go after leaving only a dozen or so?"

Releasing so many is an insult to the Wei soldiers and civilians who were killed!

This?
Commander Zhen: "Give the order to kill some more."

"Yes!" Commander Lü was delighted and immediately gave the order.

With a series of booming drumbeats, the Wei army launched another attack, catching the eastern troops off guard.

Dong Xin was furious: "The bastards of Liangwei have dared to humiliate us like this! Heroes, turn around and kill all the people of Liangwei! Let us avenge the shame of the East and serve the Eastern Desert!"

The remaining four hundred or so eastern soldiers turned and charged toward Wei Min at the镖师 (bodyguard/escort) camp.

"They really are beasts!" Commander Lü roared, and gestured. Upon seeing this, the soldiers with small throwing vehicles immediately lit them and threw five packets of gunpowder at Dong Xin and his men.

After a barrage of bombardments, Dong Xin's attack was interrupted, resulting in numerous casualties.
