Two years later, the young Emperor of Xianbei passed away. General Hong Lie ascended the throne and became emperor at the repeated requests of all civil and military officials, and changed the country's name to Su, and he became Emperor Suwen.

In May of the same year, the legitimate son Hong Liexing was appointed as the crown prince.

In July of the same year, Prince Hongye was able to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, becoming the sixth son of Emperor Suwen, and was named Prince Hongye.

What is strange is that when the prince was appointed, people from other six countries were not invited to attend the celebration, but when they were enthroned by Prince Hongye, they gave a letter of state to invite guests from all over the world.

The Great Zhou also received an invitation.

The emperor specially sent Jin Ning and his wife to congratulate him as envoys. However, before leaving, Jin Ning was unwell and had a high fever for several consecutive days, probably because of the cold. So the emperor sent Jingting and Chen Mu to go with him.

Before leaving, Jingting said to Jinning: "I am going to Xianbei here, I am afraid that there will be any changes. Xianbei may take me as a hostage."

Jinning was so ill that she was confused, but she was also very alert. In the past two years, she and Jingting were both in the army.

Jingting was responsible for military and weapons, while she was responsible for military training. Everyone knows that Beimo and Xianbei would not give up easily eroding the Great Zhou Dynasty. They would definitely make a comeback. However, the internal affairs of the Xianbei have always been bad, and General Hong Lie also needs to control the domestic situation before starting the army.

Now that he has ascended the throne and become emperor, he will naturally not forget his old ambitions.

Fortunately, in the past two years, the armed military forces of the Great Zhou were not comparable to those two years ago. The Xianbei was sorting out internal affairs, and the Great Zhou was also rapidly developing tanks and weapons, and its cooperation with the Northern Tang was further strengthened. In addition to military cooperation, it also developed border trade, promoted economic development, reformed farming, and consolidated national strength.

After accumulating strength and making progress, it was ultimately for that battle.

Emperor Suwen and Prince Hongye were both ambitious people. If they did not annex the Great Zhou Dynasty, they would not be able to rest in peace even if they died.

Jinning had long expected that this time, the matter of borrowing the Red Leaf to be appointed as king and hosting the other six countries would definitely detain some people as hostages, so that the rest of the countries would not be allowed to send troops to aid the Great Zhou Dynasty. This was a shameless restraint.

As long as the Xianbei took the Great Zhou Dynasty, they would naturally release the hostages. At most, they would apologize to other countries, pay for money or cede land, and there would be no war again because of this matter.

Jinning asked, "Who was going to Northern Tang?"

Since Jingting could set out with Chen Mu, he naturally had the ability to protect himself, but the Northern Tang Dynasty might not know the ambitions of the Xianbei.

"I don't know yet, but don't worry, I've already gone to Brother Yuwen to remind him to be alert to this matter, don't go there in person, and just send someone who is irrelevant." Jingting said.

Jinning felt relieved and said, "As long as the prince was not going there in person, otherwise, the Northern Tang Dynasty might be restrained and could not send troops to help us."

"Don't worry!" Jingting reached out and touched her forehead and sighed, "Why is it still hot? The medicine you take doesn't work. If the fever does not fade tomorrow, I will ask someone to ask the Queen Mother to give her a pair of medicine."

"I understand, don't worry, I'm fine." Jinning held his hand, slowly dragged it to his heart, staring at him and said, "You must be careful, protect Chen Mu, don't let him have any accidents. The aunt is just a son, so you can't make any mistakes."

"Well, I will protect him. In the past two years, our people have also slowly penetrated into the Xianbei. As long as we find something wrong, we will immediately withdraw into the Great Moon Realm and call on our people to cooperate with you inside and outside. Now you have to take good care of your illness. After you have recovered from the illness, our husband and wife will fight again on the battlefield!"

"Okay!" Jinning grinned, "I have been waiting for this battle for a long time, and did not severely defeat the Xianbei and told them to retreat. This life is really uneasy."

"Yes, this battle is always inevitable. If you don't kill Hong Lie, you will not be at ease with the people." Jing Ting's handsome eyebrows had a cold and solemn expression.

"Well, before you set off, look at the child. I guess you won't be able to come back in a year or two after you leave." Jin Ning smiled softly.

"Okay!" When talking about his son, Jingting's expression softened.

My son's nickname is Datou, his head is big and full of heaven. Now he is only two years old, but he is very mature.

When he learned that his father was going to go to the battle, although he didn't know what it meant, the nanny told him that going to the battle was to beat the bad guys, so he hugged Jingting's legs and swore that he would beat the bad guys like his father in the future.

There was a storm in that look.

Jingting picked him up and smiled and said, "Okay, when you grow up, you will protect the country of our Great Zhou like your father and mother."

The envoys from the Great Zhou Dynasty left the capital as the rising sun rose.

Jingting rode his horse back to the magnificent Kyoto City on the city gate. Under the city gate, people had begun to enter and exit. The soldiers of the guards kept looking at the departure of the team, with admiration in their eyes.

Half a month later, news came from the border that the Xianbei people gathered troops on the border.

Ten days ago, Jinning, who had just retired from the heat, had been named the Grand Marshal of Pingsu and led elite troops to the border.

Emperor Suwen seized guests from the six countries as protons and joined forces with Beimo to launch an attack from Guizhou and Maocheng, causing the Great Zhou to lose sight of one thing.

At the same time, the prince of Northern Tang Yuwenhao also gathered troops to Maocheng. King Sun went to Xianbei half a month ago and has not come back yet. There is news that he has been detained by the Xianbei people.

The Marquis of Jiangning and General Zhen brought troops to Guizhou and fought with the people of Beimo.

As the war broke out, the people had already done their best to appease the people. The Yasukuni appointed to supervise the grain and grass army and led a group of officials to raise grain from various prefectures to send it to the border.

This time, the Great Zhou used all newly-made weapons, which were extremely powerful, especially the newly developed chariots. After pressing the mechanism, they could shoot arrows continuously. There was also a chariot that used weapons made of gunpowder, which would cause an explosion after being released.

In just two years, the Great Zhou military progress was rapid and he could basically stand out in the six countries.

As a military alliance, the Northern Tang Dynasty also obtained this technology. This time, Prince Yuwenhao led his men to fight and also used this kind of chariot and gunpowder ammunition.

The first month of the war, the winner was basically decided.

However, the Great Zhou was not in a hurry and stationed troops at the Xianbei, which is now the doorstep of Suguo's home, putting pressure on them.

Before Jinning's army arrived, Jingting had already brought people to Dayue to gather. Jinning also sent 100,000 troops to come. Therefore, the oppression and threats from both sides made Su Guo unable to move.

Dayue had agreed to Dazhou to do this before this war, because the people of Dayue Kingdom were also detained. Dazhou promised that after taking down Su Kingdom, he would return the two cities that Su Kingdom had occupied Dayue before, and even presented the three cities that Su Kingdom was close to Dayue to Dayue.

Therefore, Dayue could lend it to Jingting and let Jingting gather troops on the border.

On May 24th, Emperor Suwen and Prince Hongye decided to give it a try.

Their troops were divided into two groups, with 200,000 people facing Chen Jingting and 300,000 people facing Chen Jinning and reinforcements from Northern Tang.
