Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 340 Golden Knife

the other side.

The barbarians successfully completed the reunion under the leadership of Luojia, and then led the army towards the Peacock River.

Looking at the Qin cavalry following behind him from a distance, Luo Jia's face showed a somewhat indifferent expression.

It was because she knew in her heart that the other party would never dare to come up at this moment!

After all, he still has 80,000 troops at his disposal.

As long as the other party dares to attack, we can immediately organize troops to launch a counterattack!

In such an environment in the wild, the bravery of the barbarian soldiers is definitely not inferior to anyone else.

Especially the weaklings in the Qin Dynasty, what can they use to fight against the barbarians?

Luo Jia even hoped that the other party would attack for real. As long as the other party dared to attack, he would take this opportunity to completely defeat the enemy behind him in one fell swoop.

At that time, Luo Jia could even lead the remaining men to directly counterattack Zhenbei City!

Even if all his men died in the end, as long as he could consume the enemy's strength and completely cripple the entire Zhenbei Army, it would be considered a reversal of the previous decline!

Unfortunately, Luo Jia laughed at himself and finally shook his head.

Just at this moment, the messenger arrived.

As the barbarians rose up in arms, the Qin soldiers behind them indeed followed, but they still kept a certain distance!

"These wimps, I knew they would do this!"

Upon hearing this news, Luo Jia snorted coldly with a bit of disdain.

Looking at the entire Qin Dynasty now, the only general he likes is probably Song Yuan. As for the others, they are just good-for-nothings!

The high priest beside him nodded immediately after hearing this comment: "I think General Wei is a talented person. It's just a pity that he was put in the wrong place!"

"This person is good at defense. If he were placed in a city, it would be extremely difficult to break it. However, such a person is somewhat lacking in courage as the commander-in-chief of Wei!"

"That's right!" Luo Jia nodded in agreement.

"The greatest advantage of this type of general is that they never make mistakes. After all, the Great Qin has been completely terrified by us barbarians. Wasn't the reason the emperor promoted him so that he could focus on offense and defense?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the high priest laughed heartily.

A few jokes came to my mind.

After all, even if General Wei's status was promoted, he was just the defender of a city!

The only thing that has changed is that he now sees the entire border as a city.

Given the situation, how could he become a famous general throughout his life?

"By the way, my dear teacher, let's not talk about General Wei for now. What do you know about Song Yuan? Do you think this prince has any rebellious intentions?" At the end, Luo Jia shook his head with some disappointment, but in the blink of an eye, he brought the topic back to Song Yuan.

Faced with such an inquiry, Bulma pondered for a moment and finally nodded.

"There should be, otherwise why would he endure it for so many years?"

"Princess, you don't know this. When I was on a diplomatic mission to Daqin, this prince was a complete joke in the eyes of the people of Daqin Imperial City!"

"Everyone calls him a loser, but they don't know he actually has such amazing talent. If he didn't have a great scholar in his heart, how could he be so patient?"

"In that case, if the eldest prince rebels in the border areas, will it be good for us?" Luo Jia suddenly said with a frown.

As soon as these words came out, Bulma suddenly became excited.

"Needless to say? Of course! If he rebels, the entire border will fall under his control. By then, how will the Qin Dynasty even think about dealing with us? I'm afraid they'll only think about getting rid of this thorn in their side!"

"Speaking of this, I have an idea..." Luo Jia's mouth curled up, and his eyes lit up.

"Think about it carefully after a few fights. If we can give him a push, and make someone who already has rebellious intentions reveal their plans in advance, can we get out of this?"

"Princess, this matter is easy to say, but how easy is it to actually do it?" The high priest frowned slightly.

Luo Jia waved his hand with a hint of mystery.

"Don't worry, I already have a plan in mind. Now I just lack an opportunity!"

"But there's no rush for this matter. Let's go back to the other side of the Peacock River and talk about it later!"

When the high priest saw the princess' refusal, a look of disappointment appeared on his face for a moment.

He wanted to ask further questions, but when he looked carefully, he saw that Luo Jia had already ridden his horse to the front.

At the moment, I could only suppress the impulse in my heart and follow behind silently.

As time passed, the army moved forward slowly, and soon the Peacock River was already visible in the distance.

Just when everyone thought that they were about to cross the river smoothly, unexpectedly, two hazy figures suddenly appeared in the distance!

"Not good!" Luo Jia looked closely and his expression suddenly changed.

I saw two spies, covered in blood, staggering on their horses.

When other people saw this scene, it aroused fear in everyone's hearts.

what's the situation?

Is there an ambush ahead?

The journey seemed calm, but they also saw many scouts sent by Song Yuan.

However, these people only observed from a distance and did not launch an attack.

But now it seems that the other party has clearly prepared a backup plan.

Could it be that now is the time when Song Yuan’s trump card is about to be revealed?

While everyone was hesitating, two spies had already arrived at the front of the army. Facing Luo Jia, they immediately jumped off their horses and wanted to kneel on the ground, but the next second, their bodies went limp and they lay completely on the ground.

Seeing this, Luo Jia hurried forward, trying to suppress his emotions and asked, "Tell me quickly, what's going on!"

"Princess... my troops were ordered to escort food supplies. Just as we were about to cross the Peacock River, we were ambushed by the enemy. All the food supplies were looted. Of our 15,000 men... only one in ten survives!"

How is it possible that only one out of ten survives?

Who gave this order?

Upon hearing this news, Luo Jia's eyes suddenly turned blood red and he let out a scream.

"Are you crazy?"

Now the large army is about to return to the city and will soon cross the Peacock River and return to the territory of the barbarians.

In this situation, why would we need to escort food and fodder?

Without this kind of thing, how could the enemy set up an ambush?

In anger, in order to find out what happened, Luo Jia looked at the soldier lying on the ground with murderous intent and asked, "Tell me who told you to do this!"

"Princess...isn't this the order from the Imperial Master?" The soldier was frightened and stammered.

Upon hearing this, the high priest beside him jumped up and said, "You are talking nonsense! I have been following the princess from beginning to end. When did I ever give any orders?"

"You'd better confess the truth and stop framing me. Tell me who told you to do this!"

"You are really the national teacher. I am not lying!" Faced with such doubts, the soldier wailed.

The high priest was so angry at the accusation that he almost laughed: "Nonsense, it's just nonsense!"

"My army is about to return. I have been following the princess the entire time and remember the entire process vividly. How could I possibly let you escort the food and supplies?"

"This..." Upon hearing such details, the soldier was stunned.

His mind was in a mess and his pupils were filled with confusion.

Noticing this situation, Luo Jia frowned slightly and immediately realized that there might be other reasons for this matter!

"Tell me quickly, tell me from the beginning what happened!"

"Princess, I am not lying. This is really the order from the Imperial Master!" The soldier finally reacted and explained the whole story with his neck stiff.

Three days ago, several barbarians suddenly came to Sanbian City with the golden knife carried by the high priest and announced a good news.

It only said that the princess had led the army and successfully captured Mohai City.

However, now that the army is surrounded, all the food and fodder has been destroyed, so he instructed everyone to transport the food and fodder to Mohai as soon as possible!

The generals of the three border cities were initially skeptical when they received the order.

But after seeing the golden knife carried by the high priest, he began to believe this statement.

Then set off as soon as possible and ride as fast as you can.

After two days of hard work, they finally arrived at the Peacock River, but they didn't expect to be met with a massacre!

Just as everyone was about to land, a large number of arrows rained down from the sky!

Without any preparation, these 15,000 people were instantly killed or wounded, with only a few taking advantage of the chaos to escape.

After hearing the last part, the high priest's eyes turned red and his chest heaved.

It was not until this moment that he finally came to his senses.

Where is my golden sword?

When he was sent as an envoy to Daqin, he had already lost to Song Yuan because of a bet!

So much time has passed that the high priest had long forgotten the existence of the golden sword, but he didn't expect that Song Yuan still remembered it!

He even used this golden knife to steal the barbarians' most precious food!

This bastard deserves to die!

"Song Yuan, just wait for me! If you fall into my hands, I will tear you into pieces!"

In anger, the high priest roared to the sky and roared.

As the words fell, the whole person fell straight backwards.

Seeing this scene, Luo Jia, who was beside him, hurried forward to support him. Seeing that the high priest's face was pale, he hurriedly spoke to comfort him.

"Master, don't worry. Believe me, I will take revenge sooner or later. Even if it comes to this, we haven't lost yet!"

As she spoke, Luo Jia had already clenched her fists tightly. The high priest was angry, so how could she not be angry too?

It was because of Song Yuan that his original plan was completely interrupted. Not only did he suffer a huge loss this time, but now he even lost so much food and grass in vain!

In just a few days, he had already suffered two heavy losses at the hands of the same person.

How could such a thing have happened in the past?

For a moment, Luo Jia raised her head and finally held back the tears that were quietly falling.

He secretly swore in his heart that he would definitely avenge this grudge!

We must catch Song Yuan and skin him alive!

Only in this way can I relieve the hatred in my heart!
