Forcing me to become a concubine? Remarrying the Ninth Prince, she'll be pregnant all over the

As night fell, an elite force of eight hundred concealed their tracks, wrapped their horses' hooves in cotton cloth, and stealthily infiltrated Black Wind Valley.

Just as dawn was breaking and before the smoke from the cooking fires of the Western Liao army camp could rise, they were annihilated by the elite troops who launched a surprise attack.

The Western Liao commander, experienced in warfare, decisively assembled his troops, personally donned armor, and charged into battle. However, before they could even set out, a soldier rushed in with a report: "The Yue army has breached the Black Wind Valley defenses! Reinforcements have advanced in four directions to encircle the camp, and are less than thirty li away!"

"What?"

The General of Western Liao did not expect that after a series of victories that had dampened the morale of the Vietnamese army, they would be able to rally and launch a counterattack in just a few days. Just as he had planned, they were going to use the terrain to their advantage.

"Report! The Vietnamese army has breached the second line of defense! They have advanced into Xila Mountain and are less than 25 li from our camp!"

The general's expression changed instantly. Xila Mountain was a strategically important and easily defended area. If the Vietnamese army were to breach it and create an opening, the battle would be over...

He steadied himself, immediately mounted his horse, and led his troops into battle.

By the time the Western Liao generals left their camp, Wei Wujiu had already ridden his horse through the bloody battlefield of Xila Mountain, killing three Western Liao generals. He led the vanguard, helping the Third Prince to break into the enemy camp first. The Third Prince had been looking forward to this battle for a long time. Previously, Xie Zhi had been managing everything, which seemed to have tied his hands and feet. Finally, Wei Wujiu appreciated his battle strategy, and with their tacit cooperation, they were determined to kill the Western Liao barbarians without leaving a single one alive, so that they would never dare to invade our dynasty again!

Wei Wujiu led a force of less than 10,000 soldiers to charge ahead, while the Third Prince and his heavy army brought up the rear. The two commanders disregarded any rules, charging erratically and attacking from left and right. Before long, they had captured the last line of defense of the Western Liao.

The morale of all the soldiers soared, and they fought fiercely against the enemy, completely turning the tide of the battle and routing the Western Liao enemy forces.

Outside the unknown battlefield, Lin Wantang, Li Jinzhi, and Zhang Jin also arrived at the military camp. Hearing the distant bugle calls and sounds of battle, the three of them had a tense expression and were sweating bullets.

Lin Wantang couldn't rashly go and cause trouble, but she was still concerned, so she sent Li Jinzhi quietly to take a look.

Li Jinzhi, with his exceptional lightness skills, galloped across the Gobi Desert and infiltrated the desolate mountains. From a high vantage point, he discovered that the Vietnamese army, which he had initially thought was confused and disorganized, was not without order at all. Instead, they were arranged in the formation of an eagle. At the head of the giant eagle, Wei Wujiu led over a thousand soldiers in a charge, while on either side of the wings were the Third Prince and the border general Cui Jin. Their command and coordination were flawless, and they had completely surrounded the Western Liao army, which held the advantage!

The battle situation was clear, and Li Jinzhi didn't get involved too much. He returned to the camp and told Lin Wantang everything he had seen. She was shocked and worried, but she couldn't help but cry tears of joy.

In this battle against the Western Liao, no one knew what the outcome would be. The Yue army suffered repeated defeats, and the situation in the capital was unstable, causing the morale of the soldiers to waver. However, Wei Wujiu insisted that they would definitely win, and not only win, but win quickly.

A few days ago, when they parted at Wuyakou, he looked at the military camp that was completely out of sight in the distance and said, "I will use this battle to rout the Western Liao army and make them tremble with fear, so that they will not dare to invade my Great Yue again for the next ten, fifty, or even a hundred years!"

At the time, we thought he was just making empty promises, but to our surprise, he kept his word, and the battle actually turned out as he commanded.

On the battlefield, Wei Wujiu issued an order to join forces to encircle and annihilate the enemy army of Xiliao. As Cui Jin and the Third Prince slowly gathered the battlefield by throwing people, Xiliao was already in a panic and could not withstand the attack. Screams and wails were everywhere, and blood stained the Gobi Desert red.

Within half an hour, the Western Liao general, realizing he was powerless to reverse the situation, raised a white flag and shouted that he was surrendering.

"Trying to surrender now? Too late!"

Wei Wujiu, drenched in blood from the battle, his eyes filled with a chilling ferocity, was about to order the execution of the Western Liao general when Cui Jin, disregarding his severe injuries, forced his horse forward, shouting, "General! Think it over, General!"

"Our dynasty has tens of thousands of people living on its western border. A protracted war will only exhaust the people and waste resources. Moreover, the old king of Western Liao is getting old and has already exhausted himself by listening to slander. The crown prince is determined to make peace. Why don't we take advantage of this great victory, recover the lost territory, and wait for Western Liao to come and negotiate peace? Increasing tribute and taxes will not only benefit the people but also contribute to the stability of our dynasty!"

"Furthermore! Don't pursue a cornered enemy! If you drive a dog into a dead end, it will surely bite back! Commander, our dynasty has been at peace with the Western Liao for a long time, there is really no need to escalate the war!"

Wei Wujiu frowned deeply, thinking of the people he had seen in the small county of Luzhou. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then nodded slightly: "The General is right! We captured the Western Liao general and took prisoners!"

"All troops, listen to my command! We must press our advantage and reclaim the two cities and thirteen fortresses that the Western Liao barbarians have seized, recovering our lost territory! We must avenge the blood debts of our fallen brothers and comfort their souls in heaven!"

"yes!"

The troops raised their arms and shouted, their morale soaring even higher.

The battle raged from sunrise to sunset. By the time the victorious troops returned, Lin Wantang had already heard the good news and ordered his men to buy over a thousand sheep from the local herders, slaughter and cook them to reward the army.

After discussing the next steps with the Third Prince and Cui Jin, Wei Wujiu settled the prisoners of war and visited the wounded soldiers. By the time he finished all this, it was already 9 PM. He returned to his tent and immediately saw the person he longed for.

"The governor is incredibly brave."

Before news of what happened in the capital reached the Western Border, Wei Wujiu had no intention of revealing his identity at this time. Lin Wantang looked at him with a gentle smile and stepped forward to help him remove his armor, but Wei Wujiu dodged her.

"Dirty, I'll take care of it," he said. His body, exhausted from many days of work, was already overwhelmed, but he still managed to take off his armor first, wash off the bloodstains on his body, and then, as his long hair fell loose, he turned around and hugged her tightly.

Wei Wujiu didn't say anything, but gave her a pleasant smile.

His eyes were brimming with laughter, and he seemed relieved.

Finally, the battle situation stabilized, and he felt a weight lifted from his heart.

Lin Wantang understood him and knew that his body, which he had been pushing himself to the limit, had reached its limit. Just as she was about to advise him to rest, Wei Wujiu closed his eyes and instantly fell into her arms and fell into a deep sleep.

I'm so exhausted...

Lin Wantang felt sorry for him and didn't disturb him or move him. She had someone bring blankets and mattresses from the tent and carefully laid them on him. Then, in the dim candlelight, she gazed at his peaceful and tired sleeping face.

Wei Wujiu didn't wake up until dawn, but Lin Wantang was exhausted. She had been working herself to the bone and was at her limit. She asked someone to come in and help him onto the bed, and then she lay down next to him fully clothed and fell into a deep sleep.

The two slept soundly for two days. When they woke up, Wei Wujiu and she washed up separately and had some food. He then went to discuss the payment with the Third Prince and Cui Jin. At the same time, he learned that the Western Liao had sent an envoy.
