An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

However, this was only the beginning. Tsering was not satisfied with the temporary victory, as he knew that the war had just begun. He continued to command his army to advance with unstoppable force. Our army retreated again and again, unable to resist the enemy's attack. Countless cities fell under the invasion of the Junggar army, and the people were displaced and their lives fell into dire straits.

This war brought huge losses and pain to both sides. However, the cruelty and ruthlessness of the war did not stop Tsering's offensive. It was obvious that he had only one goal, which was to completely defeat our army and occupy more land and resources. Our army was also trying to find opportunities to counterattack, hoping to turn the tide of the war and defend our homeland.

Emperor Wang Xuanling could no longer sit still in the magnificent palace, his brows knitted tightly, his face solemn. He originally thought that Ce Ling was just a rebel with some brains, but he never expected that this man had such a brave and courageous character, and even had a powerful military strategy that was far superior to his predecessors.

The successive battle reports were like cold arrows, irritating the emperor again and again. In the most recent battle, they had lost another 300,000 troops and were forced to retreat 300 kilometers. This was not just a numerical loss, but also a slap in the face to the emperor.

The emperor could no longer sit still, and he resolutely decided to lead his troops in person, concentrating the military forces of South China, Southwest China, and Central China, and using all his strength to deal with Tsering.

Before setting out on the expedition, the emperor personally reviewed the army. His eyes were firm and deep. He encouraged the soldiers and told them that they would surely win the battle this time.

Following the emperor's order, the army set out in a mighty manner. They crossed the mountains and rivers, and marched forward all the way to Celeng's camp.

Because the war on the border escalated suddenly, the court was full of discussions, and the Queen Mother had to rule the country from behind the curtain to stabilize the court. At this tense moment, all the officials accused the late Queen of why she took in a notorious little daughter and insisted on making her a Princess of Gulun and marrying her off to the Dzungar Khanate. This war was caused by Princess Shisan and the Queen, who was dead. Everyone took out their anger on the servants in Jingren Palace, Jiang Fuhai, and Aunt Jianqiu. Jiang Fuhai was knocked to the ground by the boots and hats of the officials, and he got up and fled in a panic.

The ministers believed that the war was caused by Shi San, and the queen was the one behind it. They claimed that it was the queen's ignorant behavior that plunged the country into the quagmire of war and displaced the people. The queen had passed away, but the officials had nowhere to vent their anger, so they pointed their spearheads at the servants in Jingren Palace, and then at the concubines in the harem such as Qi Guiren who had been on good terms with the queen.

As the chief eunuch in the Queen's palace and an important figure around the Queen, Jiang Fuhai naturally became the first target for everyone to vent their anger. All the officials came forward and chased and beat him with boots and hats on the first day, knocking him to the ground. On the second day, they specially formed a team to go to the harem, found Jiang Fuhai, and beat him up again. Although Jiang Fuhai was an old man in the palace, he was like a beggar on the street at this moment. Everyone shouted and beat him when he crossed the street. He had no dignity at all.

Jiang Fuhai fell to the ground, groaning in pain and trying to get up. However, the angry officials refused to let him go, took off their hats and shoes and continued to humiliate and beat him. Jiang Fuhai's eyes were full of fear and helplessness. If he resisted at this moment, he would only be beaten more severely. He had no choice but to hide his martial arts and silently endure the criticism and beatings of thousands of people.

Amid the mockery and insults of the crowd, Jiang Fuhai struggled to get up. His face was covered in blood, his clothes were tattered, and he looked miserable. He did not dare to stay for a moment, and could only stagger away from the scene. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the officials in the court could not find anyone to vent their anger on, and the emperor had led his troops to fight in person, so this storm would not be so easily quelled.

The emperor led hundreds of thousands of troops to confront Tsereng. At this time, their rears were empty. An Lingrong decided to take a risk and kidnapped Su Wan'er and Princess Shisan, and asked Qin Sanyue to sneak into the Dzungar Khanate secretly.

On the other hand, An Lingrong discussed with Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang, and notified Prince Guo and Huanbi who were far away in Nanyang. After Prince Guo learned of the emperor's predicament, he led his 100,000 cavalry to help without hesitation. He led his elite soldiers and generals, galloped all the way, and soon arrived at the battlefield. Under the leadership of Prince Guo, the soldiers were in high spirits and fought bravely, and soon gained the upper hand on the battlefield. The 100,000 cavalry in Nanyang led by Prince Guo rescued the emperor from danger. The emperor felt relieved when he saw the reinforcements led by Prince Guo. He knew that with the help of Prince Guo, he would be able to successfully overcome this crisis. With the hard work of Prince Guo and the soldiers, the enemy gradually retreated and was eventually forced to retreat.

The emperor personally led hundreds of thousands of troops and formed a fierce confrontation with the enemy's Tsering army on the border. The two armies faced each other, the situation was extremely tense. At this time, although they knew that the rear of both sides was empty and unguarded, no one dared to act rashly.

As an outsider of this war, An Lingrong has been paying close attention to the changes in the war situation. She knows that this is a great opportunity to disrupt the enemy's deployment and gain more fighting opportunities for the emperor. So, she decided to take a risk and let Qin Sanyue sneak into the enemy country, kidnap Su Wan'er and Princess Shi San, two people with special identities, and send Xia Qian and others to sneak into the Dzungar Khanate to create chaos and panic, so that the enemy has no time to take care of the war ahead.

After a fierce battle, the emperor finally managed to escape from danger. He looked at Prince Guo and the soldiers who fought bravely, his heart full of respect and gratitude.

With the help of Ling Rou's pass token, Qin Sanyue successfully disguised herself as a young man, and with the documents that proved her identity, she mixed in with the people of the Dzungar Khanate. At this time, the Dzungar Khanate was in a crisis of war, with a shortage of troops, and urgently needed to recruit more soldiers to defend the country's territory.

Qin Sanyue originally just wanted to find a safe hiding place, but unexpectedly, she was caught and taken to the military camp. The atmosphere in the military camp was tense, and the soldiers were busy preparing for the upcoming battle. Although Qin Sanyue was uneasy, she could only bite the bullet and try her best to integrate into this unfamiliar environment.

During her time in the military camp, Qin Sanyue saw many cruel and realistic war scenes. She found that although these soldiers were in difficult situations, they still maintained their firm beliefs and courage and fought tirelessly to defend their country.
