Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 397 A Great Victory
Four days later, the Qi army's [-] elite were ready to go, and the second prince was dressed in silver armor, and the silver gun in his hand was very bright, looking very majestic, he stood in front of all the soldiers and said loudly: "This time, if you don't succeed in this battle, you will be benevolent! The person who cuts off Xiao Lin's head will be rewarded with [-] gold! It will not be difficult to become an official or rank at that time, and I hope you all will go all out!"

The second prince spoke excitedly, but all the generals felt like crying in their hearts. Gold must have life, so going there this time may be no different from sending you to death.

Several generals looked at each other, exchanged a look that only a few people understood, agreed with the second prince's words, and then led [-] elite soldiers to the back mountain of Zhao Ying.Watching the soldiers leave, the Second Prince's face showed a burst of complacency, and then he led an army of [-] to march towards the front of Zhao Ying.

Half an hour later, Xiao Lin in the camp squeezed the surrender letter in his hand with joy, and the generals in the camp also looked joyful.It turned out that the generals of the [-] elite soldiers were loyal to the second prince on the surface, but in fact they had long since surrendered.After all, if they followed the Second Prince's plan, they would definitely have no chance of surviving, so why didn't they surrender voluntarily?Although it will bring a bad reputation, this life is saved anyway, and there is absolutely no need to make such a meaningless sacrifice.

Several generals made up their minds in private, so they wrote a letter of surrender in advance, and sent the letter over as soon as they arrived at the back mountain of Zhaoying at night.

"General, it seems that the Qi army will definitely lose in this battle!" The general's face was full of excitement, and his eyes were full of eagerness to try.

Xiao Lin nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be careless, assign 1000 people to guard the surrendered soldiers, leave some to guard the camp, and the rest will follow me into battle, and make a break with the Qi army!"

After half a cup of tea, Qi Junfang arrived at the front of the formation, and before he had time to set up the formation, he saw a black tide rushing towards several directions. It was Zhao Jun who had already assembled his troops.

For a moment, the Qi army was in chaos, and the second prince's mind was blank. This is different from what he thought. At this time, the Zhao army camp should be in chaos, and there should be no defense before the formation. How did it become like this!
Just when the second prince was in a daze, a sword light came straight at him, the second prince felt a pain in his chest, he looked down, a sword was stuck in his chest, and blood was constantly oozing out.

"Who, cough, bold..." Before the second prince finished speaking, he was kicked off his horse by the cold Xiao Lin. For a while, Zhao Jun's momentum was shaken, and there were endless shouts of killing in the field. For Qi Jun, this is not war, but a one-sided massacre.

The massacre lasted for an entire hour. Zhao Jun won a complete victory, while Qi Jun suffered heavy casualties. Xiao Lin was already exhausted at this time, so he took the lead to return to the camp to rest, and the task of cleaning the battlefield was entrusted to Trusted lieutenant.

Twenty days later, in the main hall of the Zhao State Palace.

The emperor looked at the battle report in his hand excitedly, obviously very happy. This war has always been a knot in his heart. If he loses, not only the cities on the border will not be able to keep, Zhao Guo may also become a vassal state of Qi State, This was something he absolutely could not tolerate, but fortunately Xiao Lin won a complete victory, it was a worry for him.

"Come here, pass on my decree, and make Xiao Lin the general of the hussars, the marshal of the soldiers and horses, a reward of [-] vehicles, and a pair of red iron scrolls in the general's mansion, and a dinner party will be held in the palace tonight to celebrate the victory!" The emperor said. After a series of rewards, the officials who drafted the decree were a little bit jealous, but it was a great achievement to beat Qi Guo and kill the second prince under the sword, no matter how many rewards there were, it would not be too much.

At this time, the general's mansion was full of celebrations.Xiao's father kept pacing in the hall, praising Xiao Lin's ability to lead troops, and his face was very proud, while Xiao's mother's eyes were red and she was thinking about Xiao Lin's body, for fear that Xiao Lin might get hurt on the battlefield .

Jing Ning held Xiao Lin's family letter tightly in her hand, tears fell silently.During the time when he left, Jing Ning guessed the outcome of the war countless times, fearing that something might happen to Xiao Lin, now that Xiao Lin has won a great victory, the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground, she felt light and light, As if in the clouds.

"Sister-in-law, since the eldest brother has won the battle, can he come back immediately?" Xiao Yuan's eyes were slightly red, and her eyes were full of anticipation, obviously missing her brother very much.

Jing Ning smiled and said, "It should be soon."

At this time, Lan Yao arrived, and it turned out that she also came to congratulate her after receiving the news.Jing Ning led her to his courtyard, with a faint smile on his face all the time.

"It's really not easy. I've been worrying about you all this time. Now that your family has won the battle, you finally have a smile on your face." Lan Yao teased Jing Ning with a smile.

Jing Ning chuckled lightly, but she wasn't annoyed, she was obviously in a very good mood.

"I think he'll be back in half a month at most, but I'm still a little nervous when I think about it. Take a look at me, but I'm plump?" Jing Ning had a rare little girl's expression on her face, her cheeks were slightly red, her eyes Shiny, don't have a style.

Lan Yao laughed out loud when she heard the words.

"Still plump? You've lost a lot of weight. General Xiao will be distressed when he comes back." Lan Yao gave Jing Ning an ambiguous look while talking.Jing Ning blushed, and bowed her head in silence.

Suddenly Lan Yao corrected her expression, and said in a low voice: "This time I came here not only to congratulate you, but before I left, my father asked me to tell you to keep a low profile in everything."

Jing Ning restrained her expression, her complexion gradually became serious, she nodded slightly, and a bit of anger flashed in her eyes.She knew what Lan Yao meant. Now that Xiao Lin has won a big victory, the prestige of the General's Mansion among the common people will inevitably rise, and the status in the court will also have a leap, but this is not a good thing.

The emperor had already speculated a lot about the General's Mansion, and this time he might be even more worried, and he didn't know what the future of the General's Mansion would be like. Jing Ning understood the truth that when the birds were all gone, the good bow would be hidden.

"The loyalty of the general's mansion can be learned from heaven and earth, but the emperor has many suspicions. It is really chilling!" Jing Ning's tone was cold, and there was a chill in his eyes.

Lan Yao sighed, she naturally knew that the general's mansion had no unruly intentions, but the emperor would not be at ease because of his outstanding achievements.

"Just tell me what you said, don't let others hear it." Lan Yao patted Jing Ning's shoulder lightly as a comfort.

Jing Ning nodded slightly, she just complained a few words, so naturally no one else could hear her words.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, the emperor is going to host a palace banquet tonight, are you going?" Lan Yao changed her brisk tone, her eyes full of expectation.

Jing Ning frowned, she didn't want to go at first, but if she didn't go at this time, the emperor would be suspicious, she sighed softly and said, "I'm afraid this palace banquet will not be postponed."
