They acted quickly and eliminated the Qi soldiers guarding the food and grass without anyone noticing.

"Burn!" Chu Muxue ordered, and the torches flew, instantly igniting the food and grass in Qi.

The raging fire lit up the night sky and ignited the fighting spirit of the Chu soldiers.

They fought hard at Hulukou, while Chu Muxue created chaos in the rear.

Putting the Qi army into a dilemma from two sides.

The Qi army began to collapse under the fierce attack of Chu.

In the end, the Chu army, under the leadership of Chu Muxue, successfully defeated the Qi army in Hulukou.

Protected the dignity of Chu State.

Victory in the first battle!

Not only did it boost the morale of Chu State, but it also spread the reputation of Empress Chu Muxue throughout Chu State.

Everyone in Chu State praised Yan Lichu's courage and wisdom.

The voices of doubt gradually faded, and Chu Muxue used her own strength to regain the love of the people.

She did not dare to hesitate and immediately mobilized some troops to support the Chu army fighting against Yan.

Chu Muxue personally met with the young general Lin Yi who was leading the army. She patted Lin Yi on the shoulder:

"Lin Yi, do you know the importance of this mission?"

Chu Muxue stared at Lin Yi's face with burning eyes, as if she wanted to see through his heart.

Lin Yi held his chest high and his head high, with a firm light shining in his eyes:

"Your Majesty, I understand. I will definitely kill the Yan army and give that white-clothed Su Ye a hard blow."

Everyone in the Chu Kingdom knew Chu Muxue's hatred for Su Ye.

Everyone hated Su Ye for sending troops to Chu State.

Chu Muxue nodded and looked at Lin Yi with satisfaction:

"Okay, you must repel the Yan army and restore peace to the Dachu border."

Lin Yi took the order and saluted solemnly:

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will fulfill my mission."

Chu Muxue watched Lin Yi leave, but couldn't help but feel worried in her heart.

Although Hulukou was victorious in this war, she knew that this was only a temporary respite.

The power of Yan and Qi made her unable to take them lightly.

At night, Chu Muxue meditated alone in the tent.

The lights flickered, reflecting on her face, making her look more serious.

The battle between her and Su Ye is inevitable.

Su Ye will never look back.

He has become a loyal ally of the Empress of Yan.

And she, Chu Muxue, will never allow Su Ye to continue to exist in this world!

Chu Muxue took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed the worries in her heart.

What replaced it was a strong killing intent.

The power of hatred is infinite.

It was this murderous intention that supported Chu Muxue, who led the Chu State to defeat Qi State!

On the other side, Qian Zhang, the Minister of War, who led the Yan army, intercepted the news and learned that Chu had sent an army.

Just in time!

He still couldn't forget Su Ye's objection to his sending troops in the court.

In Qian Zhang's view, Su Ye's blocking was an insult to his personal abilities!

Although the empress Yan Lichu nodded and agreed to send troops, she was only forced by the pressure of the situation.

Only by truly killing the entire Chu army can Yan Lichu truly recognize his strength!

Qian Zhang sneered, pulled his horse forward and ordered:

"Prepare for war! This time we will make it impossible for the Chu army to come back!"

The officers and soldiers of Yan State cheered up and had high morale, preparing for a fierce battle with the Chu army.

Qian Zhangzhi changed the direction of the team's march, preparing to intercept the Chu reinforcements led by Lin Yi.

However, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly.

The Yan army came through mountains and rivers, with insufficient rest and supplies.

They encountered the Chu army, which had just won a great victory and had high morale.

Coupled with the unfamiliarity with the terrain, the Yan army began to struggle to cope with the fierce attack from the Chu army.

Qian Zhang was anxious, but he could not change the situation of the war.

At this time, the Chu army, led by Lin Yi, was overwhelming and penetrated into the heart of the Yan army.

Under the fierce attack of the Chu army, the Yan soldiers were exhausted and their morale gradually declined.

Seeing that the war situation was unfavorable, Qian Zhang became more and more angry.

He knew that this defeat would not only cause him to lose his status in the court.

It will even make Su Ye in white feel proud.

He must not let this happen!

As the battle situation became increasingly difficult, Qian Zhang suddenly had an idea and decided to take a dangerous move.

He ordered the soldiers to form a dense formation and prepare to launch a suicide charge in an effort to repel the Chu army.

Seeing the sudden change of tactics by the Yan army, the Chu army also felt a burst of pressure.

However, Lin Yi, who has been training on the battlefield for many days, is no longer the naive person he was before.

He had already expected that Qian Zhang might jump over the wall in a hurry, so he was prepared in advance.

The Chu army also launched a counterattack, and the two sides launched a thrilling fight on the battlefield.

The two armies were fighting fiercely, and the battlefield was full of smoke and blood.

After a fierce battle, the Chu army successfully defeated the charge of the Yan army.

Qian Zhang's plan failed and he could only sadly order a retreat.

The Yan army retreated steadily until they were besieged in a valley.

At this time Qian Zhang had to admit that everything Su Ye said was correct.

In desperation, he had no choice but to send a message to Yan State for help.

When the news reached Yan State, Yan Lichu learned that the soldiers were in trouble and were in danger, and he was very anxious:

"What should I do now?"

The generals of Yan State who were originally high-spirited and determined to fight to the death were silent, and no one dared to respond.

The imagined plot of Dayan taking advantage of the war between Chu and Qi to conquer Chu in one fell swoop did not appear.

Chu State not only withstood Qi State's attack, but also won a great victory over Yan State.

At this time, the generals' hearts gradually began to echo Su Ye's warning that day.

Underestimation of the enemy and arrogance were the only reasons for Yan's defeat.

Fortunately, this time, it was Su Ye who stood up.

Dressed in white clothes, he was like the savior of the generals of Yan State, stabilizing the situation.

He calmly analyzed the battlefield situation and proposed a wonderful rescue plan:

"Surround Wei and save Zhao. As long as Zhao is allowed to attack Chu, Chu can be exhausted and the Yan army can be saved."

A truly useful suggestion was made, which immediately received an immediate response from the courtiers:

"Prime Minister Su is really clever, what a great idea!"

"The State of Zhao has always been at odds with the State of Chu. If they can step in to make life difficult for the State of Chu, they will definitely be willing!"

Su Ye listened to the compliments from this group of hindsighters, his face was indifferent, and he just stared at Yan Lichu.

Yan Lichu's eyes lit up and he immediately adopted Su Ye's suggestion.

Therefore, Yan State sent envoys to Zhao State to persuade Zhao State to send troops to attack Chu State.

The State of Zhao, who was originally wary of the power of the Chu State, coupled with the lobbying of the State of Yan.

Zhao Deming, the king of Zhao State, immediately decided to send troops.

Chu State.

Chu Muxue didn't know that the battlefield situation had quietly changed because of Zhao Guo's participation.

She was still immersed in the victory of repelling Qi and besieging Yan, and was complacent.

Su Ye in white is just her, Chu Muxue, who hasn't left the mountain yet!
