The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

The barbarian soldiers quickly assembled.

Apart from the 20,000 men who originally stayed behind in Shanhe City, and another 20,000 men transferred from the barbarians, the rest were the remnants of this defeated army.

Tuoba Xiangtai placed them in different camps to completely disrupt their plans and prevent any of them from causing trouble, as there were still loyalists to Tuoba Ashina and the eldest prince among them.

Of course, he remembered clearly all those who insulted Empress Xiao Mingzhao, and once things calmed down a bit, he wouldn't let any of them get away with it.

Besides these people, there were also scattered groups of people returning home.

They all survived the battle between the left and right peaks.

As an observer, or even a player, Takuba Shota would naturally try his best to bring things under control.

After all, those who survived that brutal battlefield and managed to escape were either incredibly lucky or elite soldiers.

Even though they suffered a defeat, they were still elite troops and strong generals.

Unfortunately, very few people are able to return.

There are only one or two thousand people in total.

The main problem was that the Yu people were chasing them too relentlessly!

They didn't miss any nook or cranny, and after winning, they would patrol the battlefield back and forth. Whenever they saw any barbarians, they would roar and charge at them.

Those wounded who weren't quite dead were all finished off with a final blow.

Anyone who discovers any trace of them should be immediately rushed up and killed.

They were given very little chance to escape.

As a result, these barbarians who managed to return by sheer luck immediately demoralized the barbarian army upon joining their ranks.

Although the 40,000 people who were stationed in the hunting village did not experience such a bloody battle or suffer such a beating, all of them who died were their own sworn brothers and their own people.

As the saying goes, "birds of a feather flock together," how could they not feel good seeing their invincible barbarian army being defeated like this by the Yu people?

How can morale be strong?

Takuba Shota witnessed all of this and had already anticipated it.

He stood on the high platform that had been erected beforehand, facing the barbarian soldiers, and said in a calm and rational voice, "Warriors, a small defeat is nothing."

"We barbarians are like wild grass on the grasslands!"

"No matter how fierce the fire, it will never be extinguished!"

"Although we only have 50,000 men left, 50,000 men are still enough to conquer the Great Yu!"

If these words had been said before, the barbarians would have instantly become fierce, their inherently tough nature ignited.

After all, back then they longed for Shanhe City, but could not obtain it.

There are 100,000 mighty soldiers!

It has the power to dominate the world!

But right now...

If you're beaten so badly you can't even find your teeth, what kind of ambition can you talk about?

Tuoba Xiangtai wasn't in a hurry, and leisurely said, "Warriors, let's rally our forces!"

"Let's head south immediately."

"If we can just get through these days and reach Yanji City, we'll have everything!"

"There, the Empress has prepared a large number of horses, provisions, gold, and silver treasures for us!"

"Once we get there, we can replenish our supplies!"

"Brave warriors, follow me south!"

"Witness my marriage to the Empress!"

The effect of those words was immediately different.

After all, Yanji City was mentioned.

That place could be considered a place that overlooks the capital, and it was very close to the heartland of the Great Yu Dynasty, the capital. It was practically the core of the Great Yu Dynasty.

Moreover...

horses?

forage?

Gold and silver treasures?

There are so many things there?!

They raided southwards, painstakingly trying to take over Shanhe City and the northern frontier. What were they after?

Isn't that all?

The crowd erupted in a frenzy.

"Go south! Go south! Go south!"

"Let's go to Yanji City!"

"Together with the Third Prince, we'll head south to marry the Empress!"

……

Morale soared instantly.

Tuoba Xiangtai smiled slightly and immediately ordered, "Everyone, head south immediately! While the northern frontier is still in chaos and desolate, bypass them!"

"we……"

"Heading straight to Kyoto!"

……

Therefore, whether they were recuperating or were the remnants of a bloody battle, those with horses immediately mounted them, and those without horses ran.

Head south!

……

Ren Tianye surveyed the city of Shanhe.

To this day, it remains unclear why the barbarians abandoned Shanhe City.

However, it is a fact that Shanhe City has fallen into his hands!

Then he must hold on.

Fortunately, after such a fierce and exhilarating battle, the morale of the army was greatly boosted, and his personal prestige suddenly reached an unimaginable peak.

Soldiers' loyalty was already high due to the incentives of food, rations, and salaries, and now it's ridiculously high!

There's no need to worry about these people causing any rebellion.

Therefore, Ren Tianye only conducted a brief inspection before deciding to return to Yunji City.

"This mountain and river city..."

Ren Tianye looked at Wang Ming: "You stay and guard for now!"

"Besides the men you brought with you, I will leave you some skilled and brave soldiers who will fight in this great battle, forming a force of 50,000."

"You must guard it well!"

"Yes, General!" Wang Ming replied loudly, his courage unusually strong!

The barbarians suffered a crushing defeat, with their 80,000-strong army almost completely wiped out.

This is a great victory that has not been seen in the last hundred years.

This decisive victory completely crushed the barbarians.

Without the threat of the barbarians, this already fortified Shanhe City became even more impregnable.

As long as you don't do anything reckless, you will never die.

Besides, there are 50,000 troops guarding it!

Ren Tianye nodded, agreeing with the idea, and didn't say anything more to Wang Ming. Instead, he said, "Pass down the order, except for those remaining in Shanhe City."

"The rest of you, conserve your energy for half a day."

"This general will lead you back to Yunji City!"

Half a day later, the army returned to Yunji City.

Su Jin, as Ren Tianye's clerk, accompanied him. Unlike before, when she was alone with the logistics team, she now had personal guards protecting her, clearly treating her as someone important.

This is Ren Tianye fulfilling his promise.

This was also something Ren Tianye did for everyone to see.

Under his command, merits are rewarded and mistakes are punished!

No one is an exception!

"Report!"

The scouts who had gone ahead to explore quickly returned on horseback.

His tone was somewhat urgent: "General, a force of tens of thousands has appeared ahead, also heading towards Yunji City!"

Ren Tianye, on horseback, was suddenly startled.

Tens of thousands of people?!

Are they also heading towards Yunji City?!

How did so many people suddenly appear?!

The barbarians have been thoroughly defeated and crushed; they simply cannot be barbarians.

Could they be from other parts of Dayu?

As far as he knew, although the world was in turmoil, the only forces capable of forming an army of tens of thousands, besides the imperial court's troops, were the troops that had risen up in the south.

Under the guise of avenging Lin Yi, the commander of the Red Beacon Army, they gathered an army of over 100,000, led by the descendants of the Red Beacon Army, and marched straight towards the capital.

They shouldn't have come to Northern Xinjiang!
