Faced with this person's clamor, Su Yuanqiao remained remarkably calm.

In battle, everyone makes some tough remarks.

He'd heard far harsher things than that.

Su Yuanqiao grinned.

"Kid, I'm not as ruthless as you. If I win, I won't slaughter your entire family; I'll only exterminate your nine generations!"

In a battle for life and death, there's no need for idle chatter.

As soon as Su Yuanqiao finished speaking, he grabbed his weapon and charged forward.

These young generals had never fought a real battle before, so they were no match for Su Yuanqiao.

In a single exchange, he was knocked off his horse by Su Yuanqiao.

Once they dismounted, they fell into a slump.

Su Yuanqiao killed his opponent with almost no effort.

With their commander dead, the others were thrown into panic.

Qin Su, along with Xiao Man and Cheng Hu, were invincible on the battlefield, their horses laden with human heads.

There was no fear in his eyes, only the thrill of killing.

She belonged to the battlefield, and everything about the battlefield excited her.

When Dayun's soldiers saw her horse from afar, they couldn't help but shrink back and tremble.

It was clear that Dayun's soldiers had lost their will to fight.

Su Yuanqiao shouted loudly.

"The people of Dayun are now living in misery, and the tyrannical emperor ignores their suffering. I, Su, am forced to speak out against this."

"I have no intention of harming you all. If you are willing to surrender, I will treat you with courtesy."

In order to gain merit as soon as possible, the young general came from a wealthy family and naturally did not understand the hardships of ordinary soldiers.

Throughout the journey, he often commanded his soldiers with an arrogant and contemptuous tone.

These soldiers came from ordinary families, and being humiliated like this, they harbored resentment and gradually became disillusioned with the imperial court.

Upon hearing Su Yuanqiao's words, several soldiers who had been humiliated by the young general stepped forward.

"I am willing to join General Su's cause."

"I am also willing to join General Su's cause."

Seeing that some people had surrendered, many others also surrendered in order to save their lives.

Su Yuanqiao acquired a large army with almost no effort.

In this battle, Su Yuanqiao became famous overnight.

The emperor was furious and hastily assembled another army, ordering them to kill Su Yuanqiao.

To prevent the soldiers from surrendering, they also threatened the soldiers' families.

If anyone surrenders, their entire family (including their relatives) will be executed.

The soldiers dared not gamble with their families, so they had no choice but to fight with all their might.

However, the treasury of the Great Yun Kingdom was empty, and the grain sent down was embezzled by corrupt officials at each level. By the time it reached the soldiers, there was not much left, and they could hardly fill their stomachs.

How can you win a battle if you can't fill your stomach?

The war ended in an extremely brutal manner.

Of the 80,000 troops, not a single one surrendered; all perished in battle.

Meanwhile, the casualties in northern Xinjiang are also significant, and medicine is urgently needed.

When Shen Zhaoning visited the military camp, she saw that the camp was full of wounded soldiers.

Basins of bloody water were carried out of the military tent, and the air was filled with an ominous, nauseating stench of blood.

"We've only just solved the problem of food supplies. It's a blessing from heaven that the soldiers are well-fed and clothed. Where can we get medicine?"

Lu Yu sighed.

"The only thing we can do now is to try to persuade the local gentry and see if we can gather some medicinal herbs."

Shen Zhaoning felt that the money she had just earned was about to fly away again.

She stood outside the tent and sighed deeply.

After the soldier guarding outside the tent reported the news, Su Yuanqiao immediately rushed out of the tent and picked Shen Zhaoning up high.

"Does Tuantuan miss her grandpa? Let grandpa give her a hug."

Su Shaoqing eagerly reached out his hand.

"Father, you haven't shaved. What if it pricks Tuantuan? Go and tidy your beard. I'll hold Tuantuan for a while."

Su Yuanqiao stared wide-eyed as he spoke.

"Our bodies and hair are gifts from our parents, so how can we shave our beards so casually? You can shave them if you want, but I need to hold our Tuantuan for a while."

Su Shaoqing touched his nose.

"Our bodies and hair are gifts from our parents; it would be wrong for me to shave them."

"You're different. Your grandparents are gone, so we can't blame you."

"Your mother and I won't blame you. You can shave if you want."

The father and son looked at each other, neither willing to give up the chance to hold Shen Zhaoning.

Shen Yu walked over slowly, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"We're in the middle of a discussion, how about we talk about shaving later?"

Shen Yu naturally opened her arms to Shen Zhaoning.

"Tuantuan, are you thirsty? Let your brother take you to have some tea."

Shen Zhaoning jumped down from Su Yuanqiao's arms and took Shen Yu's hand.

The Su father and son looked at each other, both somewhat unconvinced.

After sitting down, Shen Zhaoning slowly began to speak.

"I just heard you talking about the medicinal herbs. Actually, this problem can be solved."

Her small body was huddled on the wooden chair. Because she spoke too fast, her voice was muffled and unclear, making it difficult to understand her, but it was still incredibly cute and adorable.

"Didn't I mention that I know some foreigners? They can provide us with all sorts of supplies, except for financial support? All we need to do is offer them something that interests them, like antiques, calligraphy and paintings, or some of our local handicrafts."

In order to make money, Shen Zhaoning gained a comprehensive understanding of the modern world.

Antique gold and jade are very valuable in modern times.

Of course, gold and jade are also very valuable in Dayun.

Compared to before, antiques are much cheaper in Dayun.

Items from the previous dynasty and handicrafts from the Dayun era are very cheap to buy, but in the modern world, these things are considered antiques!

It can sell for a lot of money.

Remembering her brother's words about the value of rare goods, Shen Zhaoning focused her attention on antiques.

Su Shaoqing thought of the calligraphy and paintings he had collected, which he had exchanged for a lot of grain, and a thought struck him.

"Medicinal herbs are hard to come by, but aren't antiques and calligraphy easy to obtain? Just find a few corrupt officials who oppress the people, and you'll have them."

Those corrupt officials must have a lot of good stuff in their homes.

The cost of confiscating the property of one corrupt official is enough to supply the entire military camp with medicinal herbs.

So Shen Zhaoning filmed while also helping sell antiques, using the money she earned to buy military supplies.

The northern frontier was not short of food and military supplies, had complete weapons, and was strong and invincible.

Meanwhile, Dayun's soldiers suffered repeated defeats.

As the fighting progressed, some officials who loved their people, upon hearing that Su Yuanqiao had arrived, simply stopped fighting altogether and surrendered by opening the city gates.

In just three months, Su Yuanqiao led his army to the capital.

The emperor, who was initially arrogant, gradually became flustered and restless, like a frightened bird, unable to eat or sleep.

He even dreams at night that Su Yuanqiao leads a large army in and cuts off his head.

Before Su Yuanqiao's army even reached the capital, he hurriedly ordered his men to pack their belongings and fled the capital.

To prevent Su Yuanqiao from gaining an advantage, he set fire to the palace.

When Su Yuanqiao entered Kyoto, he saw exhausted and desperate people and a dilapidated imperial palace.
