"What do I need this Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains?" Hua Ruge shook his head in no interest.

Tuoba Rui looked at her in amusement: "Then what do you want?"

Hua Ruge shook his head when he heard this: "I've never thought about it before."

"Now think about it." Tuoba Rui patted her head and said.

"Heal your illness, and then you want to become a powerhouse that can dictate your own fate." Hua Ruge said. That was all she could think of.

Tuoba Rui was very happy that he placed himself in front of Xiao Ge, and laughed: "Xiao Ge is so obedient."

"What about you? What do you want? " Hua Ruge asked again.

"You!" Tuoba Rui answered without hesitation, and with a passionate look in his eyes.

Hua Ruge's face flushed from his gaze. Even though they had been sleeping on the same bed for such a long time, they hadn't been able to do anything beyond their limits.

Hearing his words, Hua Ruge still couldn't let it go.

Tuoba Rui held her in his arms and whispered: "Since my illness has recovered, let's get married, alright?"

"Alright." Hua Ruge replied.

Tuoba Rui heard her promise and hugged her even more tightly: "Xiao Ge, it's really good to have you."

Hua Ruge laughed complacently: "Of course."

"?" Tuoba Rui.

"Alright, I won't be so bored with you anymore. I need to go talk to Tark." Hua Ruge patted his shoulder.

Tuoba Rui also needed to pacify the soldiers, so he put her down.

The barbarians were currently meditating in the city. Hua Ruge saw them chatting from afar, and when she got closer, he stood up and bowed to her. "Lord."

Looking at the number of soldiers, Hua Ruge was very satisfied. He smiled and said, "It's been hard on you all today, rest well. There will be a sumptuous dinner in a while.

"Thank you, Lord." The barbarian smiled.

Hua Ruge called them as they wished, and called Tark as they walked along the city walls while chatting.

"How is the Barbarian Tribe recently?" Hua Ruge asked.

Tark said excitedly: "Ever since Lord took us in, every one of us has been eating our fill."

"Then where did all these cavalry come from?" Hua Ruge asked again.

She remembered that there had only been a thousand people there before.

"Seeing that we are doing well, and the nearby barbarians have all come to join the army, the numbers gradually increased. My father went to some distant tribes and lobbied them to capture the gnus to form an army. Then we will have the scale we have now." Tark replied.

Hua Ruge laughed when he heard: "I really have to thank you father and son for letting me not take care of the territory for so long. There are still so many soldiers that I can use."

"We are the ones who should be grateful to you. Now that we have eaten our fill, the number of our clansmen will increase. This is all given to us by you." Tark said sincerely.

"Since we're already so familiar with each other, there's no need to be so polite." Hua Ruge said, and then said, "I sent a letter to ask Lei Tao to organize some pagans, how are his preparations going?"

"He's still working on it. He wants me to tell him to come back here within five days." Tark said.

Hua Ruge nodded: "That way, I'll be more at ease."

The other races each have their own strengths and strong fighting capabilities. If I can help them, I can do a bit more.

After talking with Tark, Hua Ruge ate dinner with the soldiers. She felt that she and the soldiers were on good terms, and if it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't drink in the military camp, she really wanted to slap two jars of wine to drink together.

The soldiers felt that the future Battle King Concubine was very friendly.

In the end, Tuoba Rui could no longer bear it any longer and lifted her up, pulling her into his tent.

Hua Ruge, who was still holding onto the big bowl, looked at him with a wronged expression and asked: "What happened?"

"You should stay with me." Tuoba Rui said with dissatisfaction.

"Fine." Hua Ruge helplessly finished his last meal and then slept with him.

But Cang Lan and Rebellion didn't expect them to sleep so well. In the middle of the night, the two were awakened by the sound of sword and blade clashing.

"He has the fighting spirit to attack the city so quickly?" Hua Ruge said while rubbing his eyes in a daze.

Tuoba Rui was already dressed, and said to her: "Go rest in your room, I'll go take a look."

"Let me take a look as well." Hua Ruge said as she accompanied him.

Upon reaching the city walls, they saw Cang Lan and the Rebellion constantly attacking. Nearly three hundred thousand people were dispatched to attack from three sides.

"They should still have half a million people left. About half of them will be sent over now, but the other half will definitely be sent over tomorrow. This is a war of attrition." Hua Ruge yawned.

It was not as if the other side had never used this tactic before, but at that time, the soldiers of the Great Zheng Army were full of energy, and the Third Squad could guarantee a rest while guarding the city walls.

Moreover, the other side had more people than before, and the Cang Lan soldiers' combat strength was also strong. If this continued, there would probably be more casualties even if they managed to survive.

Tuoba Rui looked down.

"Let's go over to the report and ask the Emperor to transfer troops." Hua Ruge said, she could not think of a better way.

"No need." Tuoba Rui said, then pulled her back to the camp.

After going back, she saw Tuoba Rui drawing on the map of Qing Zhou City on three sides.

Hua Ruge didn't really understand, so he continued to think of his own ways.

The frontline battlefield had already entered its climax. Frankly speaking, it was a battle of strategy and expenditure. Since she wasn't good at these things, she could only consider whether or not she could achieve victory outside the battlefield.

"The grains and fodder can be burned again." Hua Ruge muttered.

"We've already burned them once before. Now, no matter how haggard they are, they will definitely protect them completely. Any more and they'll just be throwing their lives away." Tuoba Rui said from the side.

Hua Ruge blinked his eyes and said: "Maybe I have a way."

"I do." Tuoba Rui didn't even think about it. Hua Ruge's intelligence and methods were all visible to the public, so it was still possible for her to do something no matter how impossible it was.

Hua Ruge laughed and said mysteriously: "Then I'll keep this a secret for now, I'll tell you once I've succeeded."

That night, Tuoba Rui completed his strategy of defending the city. Hua Ruge was surprised to discover that Tuoba Rui had actually prepared to defend the city so that the soldiers could have a good rest. Furthermore, he had reserved a group of cavalrymen that could leave the city at any time to ambush him.

She had to admire this.

The two of them slept for a short while after midnight, and when dawn arrived, they woke up. Before they even had breakfast, a long voice came from outside. "Reporting ?"

Then, a soldier knelt in the room with blood all over his body and said anxiously, "Reporting to Battle King, Master Hua Hou, no, Hua Shengxiong turned the tables on him."0

"What?" Hua Ruge was shocked.

"Last night, Hua Shengxiong released and let the five great lords' soldiers in. They have now conquered YongLin City overnight, and all the soldiers have been killed."

He was a city guard and if it wasn't for the fact that he had been covered up to inform the soldiers that he was going to die, he wouldn't have been able to survive.

Tuoba Rui's pupils also shrank as he said: "He refused to attack the capital, and actually stabbed me in the back?"

No one could blame him for his rage. YongLin City was behind the three northern cities, which was also where the grain depot of the three hundred thousand soldiers at the border was located.
