Chapter 166: The Crisis of Songshan Castle and the Arrival of Qin Yu

Upon learning that his hometown, Songshan Castle, had been seized by the Great Moon Dynasty, Qin Yu was eager to return home and rescue the remaining members of the Qin family. He didn't want to delay for even a moment and felt a strong pull towards home.
After learning that Matsuyama Castle was actually the hometown of Qin Yu, the Great Qian King was also surprised. He did not expect that such a talented Qin Yu would come from such a remote and insignificant place.
Regarding Qin Yu's request, the Great Qian Emperor naturally could not refuse, although he really wanted Qin Yu to stay in the imperial capital and help him deal with any other possible emergencies. However, it is natural for leaves to return to their roots. Qin Yu's hometown is in trouble, how could he stop Qin Yu?
After getting the approval of the King of Daqin, Qin Yu didn't dare to delay for a moment. He found Qin Ying'er and informed her of the situation. Then, the two of them quickly set off on the journey back home.
When he was in the capital, Qin Yu didn't feel much, but it wasn't until he left the capital and set foot on the road home that he truly understood the immense harm this war had brought to the people of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Along the way, refugees who have lost everything can be seen everywhere. They have a dull complexion and a haggard appearance, dragging their families and belongings, slowly making their way along the road. These people were once living peacefully in the north, but everything changed with the attack of the Great Moon Dynasty. Their hometowns were breached, houses burned, and fields trampled. Even their lives were only spared by chance.
These refugees have numb eyes, seemingly devoid of hope for life, walking like zombies on the road with their families and belongings. If it weren't for the signs of life on their bodies, they would be just like the walking dead.
On the various official roads of the entire Great Qian Dynasty, there is such a scene, a sense of decay pervades throughout the Great Qian Dynasty.
This scene makes Qin Yu feel a little anxious, however, even if he wants to help them, he is powerless, he has no ability to assist all refugees.
"Brother, everyone is so pitiful."
On the way, watching the displaced refugees scrambling around, Qin Ying'er also felt a bit unbearable, she pulled Qin Yu's sleeve and asked, "Can we help them?"
"Silly girl, can we help everyone? We may be able to help one or two people, but not all."
Qin Yu rubbed Qin Ying'er's forehead and said, "With so many people in the world, how can just the two of us help them all?"
Moreover, even if we help them, it is only a temporary solution and doesn’t solve the root of the problem. If we want to truly help these displaced refugees and solve this issue completely, there is only one way - we need to use the army of the Great Moon Dynasty to overthrow the Daqin Dynasty and bring peace to the land!”
"King Dàyue is really despicable!"
Qin Ying'er also clenched her fists and said indignantly, "He broke his promise, suddenly launched an attack on our Great Qian Dynasty, causing so many people to become displaced. He truly commits endless crimes!"
"Don't worry, Ying'er, brother will drive the Great Moon King out of the Great Qin Dynasty."
Qin Yu touched Qin Yinger's head and spoke calmly but with unwavering determination, saying slowly.
In fact, with Qin Yu's intelligence, he has long figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing.
The Great Moon Dynasty and the Great Gan Dynasty have lived in peace for decades, why would they suddenly launch an attack on the Great Gan Dynasty?
Qin Yu only needed to ponder for a moment to understand the reasons behind it.
And among them, it was probably inevitable that Quan Lao from the Heaven Shaking Sect played a part, wanting to use the Great Moon Dynasty's hand to seek revenge for his disciple Jun Wu Xia!
Maybe, the whole war was driven by Quan Lao!
It's just because of him alone, but it caused so many people in the Daqin Dynasty to be displaced, and suffered the disaster of family destruction and death. This makes Qin Yu angry, wishing to kill Quan Lao and the Great Moon King!
"Grand Moon King...I will kill you!"
He lifted his head lightly, his gaze staring towards the distant direction of Songshan City, a hint of cold killing intent in his eyes.
If he's lucky, perhaps he will encounter the Grand Moon King in Songshan City?
Outside Matsuyama Castle, the army of the Great Qian Dynasty arrived from afar and set up camp 10 miles away from the castle, with countless military tents extending into the distance.
At this moment, inside the commander's tent, Ling Youwei, donning a general's armor, sat at the table with a map in her hand, frowning as she studied it carefully.
Now, wearing the armor of a general, Ling Youwei no longer possesses the same charming and lively demeanor she had when she wore plain clothes. That girl-next-door aura is gone, replaced with a commanding presence that keeps people at a distance. She carries herself with a fierce and imposing grace, like a Valkyrie.
She was holding a map of Songshan City in her hand, frowning and thinking about where exactly the army of the Great Qin Dynasty could attack to reclaim the city that belonged to them.
However, she frowned for a long time, but couldn't find any flaws that would allow the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty to break through and enter the city.
"It seems that we can only rely on a strong attack to recapture Songshan City..."
She frowned and murmured under her breath.
"Your Highness, this Songshan City is already difficult to attack and easy to defend. Now, it has been captured by the Great Moon Dynasty, and the King of the Great Moon has personally dispatched soldiers and generals to turn Songshan City into an iron barrel."
A nearby general spoke with great worry, "If we forcefully attack and enter the city of Songshan, our army of the Great Qin Dynasty may suffer severe losses, and in the end, it may not be worth the effort..."
"But if we don't attack and just abandon Songshan City, are we just going to hand it over to the Da Yue Dynasty?"
Ling Yuwei frowned.
The group of generals standing in the command tent remained silent. In truth, what Ling Yuwei said was exactly what they were thinking.
The terrain of Matsuyama Castle is extremely unique, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. When the Daigetsu Dynasty was able to take Matsuyama Castle with an unstoppable momentum, it was due to a surprise attack that was unexpected, as well as a powerful army that far surpassed the stationed troops in Matsuyama Castle.
Now the Da Yue Dynasty has firmly established its foothold in the Songshan City, both inside and outside the city, it can be said to be as solid as a rock.
The most crucial thing is that there are three strong people who have reached the realm of the sixth layer of the Heavenly God within the Songshan City.
If we force an attack on Matsuyama Castle, the army of the Daqin Dynasty will suffer great losses.
At that time, we will inevitably fall behind in a head-on confrontation with the army of the Daigetsu dynasty.
Therefore, many generals on the battlefield advocated giving up Songshan City and going around it first to recover the other cities.
However, Ling Yuwei refused to do so.
The main reason for this is because Ling Yuwei knows that Songshan City is Qin Yu's hometown.
It is precisely because of this that Ling Yuwei cannot bring herself to give up on Songshan City.
"Is there really no other way..."
Lin Youwei was caught in a dilemma.
"Your Royal Highness, there's someone outside the military tent requesting to see you!"
Just then, a soldier's respectful report was heard from outside the tent.
"Someone is requesting an audience?"
The many generals in the handsome tent looked puzzled. The several cities around Songshan had long been abandoned, and the vast majority of people had already fled and couldn't get away in time. Why would anyone actively seek an audience with the Princess Chang?
"Who is it?"
凌幼薇也是一脸疑惑，问道。
“回长公主殿下，那人说，他叫秦宇。”
外面那士兵想了想，说道。
下一刻，帅帐之中的所有人，都是目瞪口呆地看着眼前的这一幕。
Only a second ago, Princess Chang, who had a serious expression on her face with furrowed brows, suddenly sparkled with bright light in her eyes when she heard the name "Qin Yu".
Princess Chang, who is always calm, spoke urgently and quickly, ordering, "Quick, bring him to see me!"
"Yes!"
The soldier outside the handsome tent, although not understanding the magic of the name Qin Yu, made Princess Chang's voice become so urgent and completely different from her usual calm demeanor.
But he still had doubts, and respectfully agreed.
