"Changsun Wuji!" "Your subordinate is here!" Inside the main tent, Yang Guang was gathering his generals and assigning tasks. "I order you and General Xiong Kuohai to lead 50,000 elite troops to hold off the Turkic cavalry. Remember, you must not let a single Turk break through the defense line!" "Your subordinate obeys!" Changsun Wuji and Xiong Kuohai stepped forward and responded, then went to select elite soldiers and generals to accompany them.
"Your Majesty, what is our mission?" Seeing their sworn brother Xiong Kuohai already had a task, Wu Yunzhao and Wu Tianxi hurriedly stepped forward to offer their help. "Your mission, Generals, is to command the army in the main camp and prevent a surprise attack from the Turks and Li Shimin!" Yang Guang said calmly. "What?!" Wu Yunzhao and Wu Tianxi were somewhat dejected. This was far too easy; the enemy probably wouldn't launch a surprise attack for several days.
"Because I'm not in the main camp, and without the two generals to oversee things, I'm not at ease!" Yang Guang said, looking at Wu Yunzhao and Wu Tianxi with hopeful eyes. "Where is Your Majesty going?" Wu Yunzhao asked, puzzled. "I'm going to get rid of a big problem! Li Yuanba!" Yang Guang said grimly. "What?!" Wu Yunzhao and Wu Tianxi were shocked. The emperor actually wanted to kill Li Yuanba! This terrified them both. Back in Taiyuan, Wu Yunzhao, Wu Tianxi, and Xiong Kuohai had challenged Li Yuanba together, and all three had been defeated. From then on, Li Yuanba was a god-like figure in their eyes!
"Heh, after today, there will be no more Li Yuanba in this world!" Yang Guang said, then stood up and strode out of the tent, followed by Ma Saifei, Lady Hei Bai, Xin Yue'e, Lady Dongfang, and six other women. "These people can kill Li Yuanba?" Wu Yunzhao and Wu Tianxi watched Yang Guang and his group's departing figures, muttering to themselves in disbelief.
The weather was exceptionally fine; golden sunlight pierced through the clouds, warming the skin. The sky was clear and high. The plains stretched endlessly, and in the distance, the horizon seemed to merge with the sky.
The 50,000-strong army marched slowly across the vast plain, seemingly aimlessly.
The silhouettes of Turkic scouts appeared intermittently on the distant horizon, their frequency increasing, and at times a faint tremor could be felt in the ground, clearly indicating that the enemy was gathering on a large scale. Several trial battles took place sporadically throughout the day; although the enemy was repelled, almost all the soldiers realized that the moment for the enemy's general offensive was imminent.
War clouds loomed over the vast plains, the air thick with a chilling, oppressive atmosphere that made it hard for the soldiers to breathe.
Changsun Wuji looked around and seemed to sense that the atmosphere was rather unusual. He ordered the entire army to stop marching and rest on the spot.
He paused for a moment, then asked, "Where are we? What's this place called?"
Upon hearing Changsun Wuji's question, Xiong Kuohai's spirits lifted, and he hurriedly replied, "Commander, the locals call this plain 'Shuofeng Plain.' It's flat for miles around, with no rivers or narrow passes, and not even a decent high ground. When the wind blows, the wind here is often stronger than elsewhere, hence the name."
Unexpectedly, Changsun Wuji didn't react much, only giving a casual "oh" before lying down again. He slowly closed his eyes. His long, slender fingers lightly tapped the Overlord Bow. A soft, rhythmic sound followed. "...Hmm, Shuofeng Plain...is a good place to kill..."
Xiong Kuohai froze, speechless, unable to utter a word.
Suddenly, an unusual fluctuation rippled through the air. A dark figure appeared beside Changsun Wuji's horse, kneeling on one knee before him. She spoke in a soft voice, "Reporting to the Commander, we have ascertained the enemy's strength. This time, the Turks are determined to annihilate our army at all costs. In just one day, they have mobilized the vast majority of their forces with astonishing speed. Apart from 30,000 troops sent to monitor our 200,000-plus troops remaining in the rear camp to prevent them from reinforcing us, the remaining 130,000 cavalry have all gathered here at Shuofeng Plain, giving them an overwhelming advantage over our forces. The enemy is busy deploying troops and making various pre-battle preparations, and is expected to launch their final assault within half an hour!"
Changsun Wuji opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and intense. He leaped from the carriage, laughing heartily, "The Turkic Tartars have fallen into your trap! They've entered His Majesty's clutches! Hahaha... All soldiers, listen up! Prepare for battle!!" With that, he threw away his staff, his body standing tall and straight, all traces of his previous weakness vanishing. He was as spirited and vigorous as before his illness, showing no sign of his terminal condition.
The surrounding soldiers could hardly believe their eyes, as if they had fallen into a dream, and it took them a long time to recover. This joy was truly extraordinary. Changsun Wuji was unharmed after all; everything was under his control. He had been playing dumb all these days, and it was the Turks who had fallen into the trap!
In an instant, the soldiers' irrational confidence in Changsun Wuji returned to their hearts. The pessimism and despair of the entire army vanished. Overjoyed, they roared in unison, "Victory is certain! Victory is certain! Our army will surely win!" The thunderous cheers resounded through the sky, shaking the surrounding area.
The sheer number of 50,000 men was considerable. Even the Turkic cavalry, far out of sight, heard it clearly, and they looked at each other in trepidation. They truly couldn't understand how the enemy could still be so happy at this point.
Upon hearing this, the King of Huluo immediately burst into laughter, shouting wildly, "Here you go! The Han people of the Southern Dynasty are truly foolish! Even on the verge of death, they still want to have a good time. Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha..." The surrounding generals also joined in the laughter.
Only Geshu Yun disagreed. He was secretly alarmed, his ominous premonition growing stronger. He quickly spoke up to the overconfident King Huluo: "King Huluo, I fear the enemy's situation has changed. In my opinion, it would be better to temporarily send the entire army to attack, first sending out small groups of ten thousand men to probe the enemy's defenses..."
Before she could finish speaking, the King of Huluo impatiently waved his hand to interrupt her, "Enough! Do you think a roasted sheep can run away on its own? We Turks are descendants of grassland heroes, unlike you Han people... Hey! Isn't being timid and hesitant beneath the dignity of our Great Turkic army?!" He was already fed up with the nagging Han women. And this was with Geshu Yun; if it were any other Han woman, he would have kicked her long ago.
This blunt rebuke made Geshuyun's face turn red and white in turns. She had been trusted and treated with courtesy by the Turkic Khan for many years, but this was the first time she had been so humiliated, especially by a mere prince.
Geshu Yun, narrow-minded and unable to tolerate humiliation, refused to utter another word and stormed off in a huff. Behind him rose a chorus of contemptuous laughter. The Turkic princes and generals, confident of victory, saw the Sui dynasty's throne within their grasp and paid no heed to this Han Chinese queen, eager to oust her and make room for her.
Geshu Yunhe felt ashamed and humiliated, filled with regret and hatred. He then realized that he was ultimately an outsider among them, and that once those who appreciated him fell, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold among the foreign tribes.
She mounted a fine horse, thinking that the Turks were on the verge of defeat and that she shouldn't be buried with these heartless people. She reined in her horse, spurred it on, and rode away, never looking back, just as she had abandoned her country and family years before…
