Qin Feng unfolded the military intelligence report sent back by Wang Zhong, which detailed Tuoba Ye's troop deployments and grain transport routes.
His long fingers lightly tapped on the table, his gaze deep and penetrating, as if he could see through the battlefield thousands of miles away.
After a moment, he dipped his brush in ink and wrote a meticulously worded letter requesting aid from the court, earnestly asking for funds to support the Northern Territory's military preparations against the Northern Di invasion.
Once the letter was finished, he carefully rolled it up, sealed it with wax, and handed it to a guard. "Deliver this to the capital immediately, and make sure it reaches the Minister of War in person," he instructed. The guard accepted the letter and quickly exited the council chamber, mounting a swift horse and galloping toward the capital. Outside the Wang residence, the cold wind howled, swirling fallen leaves on the ground and creating a rustling sound.
At the same time, Qin Feng wrote another confidential letter and handed it to another guard, speaking in a low voice, "Deliver this letter to General Lin without fail." The guard bowed in acknowledgment and swiftly departed. In the letter, Qin Feng ordered Lin Qingxue to hold her position and feign weakness to mislead Tuoba Ye, waiting for the right moment to strike decisively. He understood that Tuoba Ye was arrogant and prone to underestimating his enemies; this plan would surely draw him into a trap.
Upon receiving Qin Feng's secret order, Lin Qingxue furrowed her brows slightly, a flicker of reluctance in her eyes.
She had originally intended to take the initiative and strike hard against the Northern Di, but Qin Feng's command forced her to alter her plans.
Crumpling the letter in her hand, she walked to the window and gazed at the distant rolling mountains, her mind racing with thoughts.
After a moment, she took a deep breath to calm herself and turned to her deputy. "Relay my orders: the entire army is to enter a state of heightened alert. Strengthen patrols and maintain strict defenses; there must be no slackening!" The deputy acknowledged her command and immediately went to convey the orders.
Lin Qingxue approached the map, her gaze fixed on the route that the Northern Di Army would inevitably take. She pondered how best to execute Qin Feng's orders.
Her slender fingers traced along the map until they landed on an inconspicuous little valley, a faint smile appearing at the corner of her mouth. She quickly summoned several trusted commanders and began secretly deploying elite troops to ambush in that valley, waiting for the arrival of the Northern Di Army.
In the capital, Zhao Manor. Zhao Wujie revealed a chilling smile upon receiving Qin Feng's plea for help.
He casually tossed the letter onto the table and said to his trusted aide beside him, "That Qin Feng really can't keep his cool; he's already seeking help from the court." He walked to the window, standing with his hands clasped behind his back, a cunning glint flashing in his eyes. He had long wanted to eliminate Qin Feng and seize the military power of the Northern King, and now the opportunity had finally arrived.
After pondering for a moment, he instructed his aide, "You must send someone to Northern Di immediately to secretly contact Tuoba Ye. Tell him I'm willing to cooperate and assist him in capturing Northern Territory." The aide took his orders and quickly went to make arrangements. Zhao Wujie gazed out at the overcast sky, his eyes filled with ambition and greed.
Within the borders of Northern Di, in Tuoba Ye's main tent, the envoy sent by Zhao Wujie was describing the generous terms offered by Zhao Wujie and urging him to intensify his offensive to capture Northern Territory in one fell swoop.
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Ye burst into laughter and said, "Zhao Wujie, that old fox, is indeed as I imagined—a greedy fellow. Since he is willing to cooperate with me, I have nothing to worry about." He suddenly stood up, excitement and a thirst for blood gleaming in his eyes, and loudly commanded, "Send word down the line—accelerate the advance of the entire army! We must breach Northern Border Fortress within three days!"
As night fell, the Northern Di Military Camp was brightly lit. Wang Zhong disguised himself as a Northern Di Soldier and infiltrated the camp. He carefully avoided patrolling soldiers and made his way to the storage area for supplies. From his pocket, he pulled out a fire starter and ignited a pre-prepared incendiary device. Flames erupted instantly, rapidly spreading and consuming the mountains of grain and supplies. Taking advantage of the chaos, Wang Zhong escaped from the camp and raced toward Northern Territory.
At Northern Border Fortress, Qin Feng stood on the battlements, gazing at the distant flames rising from Northern Di Military Camp with a cold smile playing at the corners of his mouth. He turned around and said to Lin Qingxue beside him, "Send word down—launch an all-out attack!" A spark of excitement flashed in Lin Qingxue's eyes as she responded loudly, "Yes!" She immediately mounted her horse and led the army out of the city gates toward the Northern Di Army. The sounds of battle cries filled the air as war drums thundered; a great battle was about to unfold.
Watching Lin Qingxue's retreating figure, Qin Feng took a deep breath, a hint of barely perceptible worry flickering in his gaze. He turned to his attendant and said, "Go fetch my armor." The attendant complied promptly and soon presented a set of black armor before Qin Feng.
Qin Feng took the armor and swiftly donned it. The cold metallic texture pressed against his skin filled him with an inexplicable thrill and strength. He walked to the edge of the city wall, his gaze piercing as he stared into the distance.
