After the discussion, Qin Jue immediately sent someone to start the action.
Once the fire is already burning vigorously in Xichuan Forest, it cannot be easily extinguished after it spreads.
The more people thought about it, the more excited they became. They even felt that they could take the initiative to attack the enemy when they returned to the main camp to put out the fire!
Of course, the other party may only send some people back to fight the fire, and some people continue to fight the enemy, but it doesn't matter, at least this precarious border line is temporarily preserved.
Soon, a fire spread like a prairie prairie.
When the general of Numokuni heard about the Nishikawa forest fire, he went to the high ground to take a look, and then said with a smile to the people around him.
"Winter is dry and there are many dead leaves, so it's normal to burn! Burn it, the more vigorous the burn, the better. Once the Xichuan Forest burns out, it will be easier for us to enter the Central Plains!"
But his proud smile didn't last long, and in the afternoon, he realized that the fire was not right.
This fire is indeed burning more and more vigorously, but it is coming towards Swamp Country!
Once Numokuni's frontier forest catches fire, their main camp in the forest will never be spared!
The people of the Swamp Country are in a hurry, they have to put out the fire!
It's a pity that they reacted too slowly. When the fire from the Xichuan Forest spread to the Swamp Country, it was like a prairie fire!
The length of its line of fire can't be contained by just cutting down a few trees!
Fortunately, they now have a large army at the border, and all the soldiers are transferred to put out the fire, which should be able to contain the fire in time!
General Numokuni, who originally wanted to launch a general attack, was so angry that he wanted to jump!
But no matter how angry he was, there was nothing he could do. The wind was very fast today, and if he hesitated, not only would their main camps and forages be affected, but even some cities that depended on the forest would be in danger!
So he gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.
"Everyone, participate in the firefighting immediately! Be sure to contain the fire within three days!"
The lieutenant beside him heard the words and said quickly, "General is wrong! Once everyone goes to put out the fire and the fire can be controlled, what if the enemy comes over?!"
The general was stunned for a moment, but if not all the people came to put out the fire, how could the fire be brought under control in time because it was cold and dry and it had not rained for many days
There was no other way, he could only leave 50,000 people to fight the battle, and the remaining nearly 200,000 people were sent to fight the fire, which made the people in the military camp in the western part of Daqin feel a little regretful.
If the promised 200,000 reinforcements are not called back, this meeting should be here. At that time, they will be able to work hard and use this fire to directly counterattack and kill them by surprise!
It can only be said that the heavens did not fulfill their wishes, such a good opportunity, because of the number of people, they just missed it in vain.
The soldiers watched the fire from the other side and sighed to themselves.
They were originally loyal to Da Qin, but their resentment towards the imperial court became deeper and deeper.
Qin Jue saw that everything was as he expected, and fortunately, thanks to God's help, the wind was strong today. Presumably in a short time, the battle situation on the western side could be stabilized. Then, he must hurry back as soon as possible.
So on the night that Swamp Country turned back to put out the fire, Qin Jue said to Xun Yi.
"Next, the battle situation on the western side will depend on you. I will return to Beijing as soon as possible, and let the reinforcements that should have come here come. You don't have to worry."
Xun Yi heard the words and said worriedly, "Is Your Highness going back like this? The western front is not too tight at the moment. Why don't your Highness bring 10,000 soldiers back!"
Hearing this, Qin Jue touched his chest unconsciously, where there was a letter from Linlang to him.
Shouldn't it be said that he and Linlang are a natural pair
Linlang not only knew what he was thinking, but also what he would do next.
She stated in the letter that she had already allocated 10,000 troops from his garrison in Xiangcheng and sent them to the capital, as long as he reunited with his subordinates.
As long as he can go back in time, withdraw the order, and stabilize the situation in the west, then Zeguo will most likely not take action.
In this way, Xiang Cheng would not have to confront Zeguo head-on.
So his task is very heavy, not only for the people, for revenge, but also for the safety of those he loves.
Just listen to him laugh in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I have soldiers and horses, you just need to defend Xichuan well. As long as the Xichuan border defense is not broken, everything will still have a chance."
Xun Yi heard the words, knelt down on one knee, and said solemnly.
"The last commander will not be disgraced! I hope that after His Highness returns to Beijing, everything goes well!"
Qin Jue helped him up, the corners of his mouth upturned, and a faint smile appeared.
"I'll be fine, because, I'm not alone."
This made Xun Yi a little curious. He looked at Qin Jue and saw that under the moonlight, his originally deserted eyes gradually became warmer, and the starlight flowing in them made his originally cold face like an immortal, instantly changed. Angry and emotional.
This made him ask, "The letter that Your Highness received yesterday was sent by an ally? Then he must be someone very important to you, right?"
Hearing the words, Qin Jue's smile deepened. Originally wearing silver armor, he looked very cold, but when he smiled, there was a gentleness of melting ice and snow.
Just listen to him whisper.
"Yes, he is important because he is not only my ally, but also the only love of my life."
This made Xun Yi a little stunned. His Highness's ally turned out to be a woman
Without giving him a chance to learn more, Qin Jue let Dong Qi rectify and set off.
Before setting off, he did not forget to stabilize the morale of the army and told everyone that he was going back to Beijing to ask the court to change the order and send reinforcements.
When everyone heard this, they were both happy and worried. They didn't forget that Qin Jue had been abolished. Wouldn't it be dangerous for him to go back like this? Those people in the court will not let him go...
Qin Jue rode on the horse, looked at everyone's worried eyes, and laughed in a low voice.
His smile was a bit sharp and arrogant. After the polishing and precipitation of the war, he was more dazzling than before. Every word he said was as loud as the military order.
"Please rest assured, this time to the capital, I will definitely send reinforcements to let you pursue the victory!"
"I will be fine, but my enemy, not necessarily!"
After he finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and left resolutely!
Behind him, Dong Qi and the others followed closely behind.
The darkness soon drowned out their figures, but it made the hearts of everyone in the western garrison bright.
If Qin Jue can send troops back to Beijing this time, it means that he will regain his identity and become the new backbone of the court!
With such a person to guide them and support them in the rear, they can fight without fear, and they dare to trust him and hand over their family to him. Even if they die in battle one day, they will have nothing to regret.
Because they know that this land is worth protecting, the country of Daqin, and the hope of Changlong!
As long as the country is strong, their descendants will be able to stay away from the war and live better, that's what their fight is all about.
