Early the next morning.
Qin Wu then led his army directly to the front.
There was no stopping.
Of course, a team was also dispatched to escort the rescued civilians back to Jubei City.
As for how to arrange it, we can only do so after he takes over the entire Northern Barbarian territory and returns.
The people there are in a really bad state right now.
They were almost skin and bones, and they had never had a full meal in all these years.
Not only Qin Wu's army, but several other armies also found the Northern Barbarian tribes and carried out a bloodbath against them.
They truly lived up to their reputation as longtime followers of Qin Wu; their conduct and style were practically identical to his.
It directly created a landscape.
This demonstrates their attitude towards the northern barbarians.
In particular, Shura General Liu Qiu was even more ruthless, directly dismembering all the corpses of the Northern Barbarians.
Let them all die a gruesome death.
The armies then proceeded directly to their next target without any delay.
They slaughtered their way through the land, and in just a few days, several large armies had advanced over a hundred miles, massacring more than a dozen northern barbarian tribes.
No northern barbarian who appeared before them could escape.
Of course, the news could no longer be kept secret, and many of those who had fled beforehand quickly spread the word.
The tribes that received the news quickly spread the word and began to organize their forces to try to stop the Zhenbei Army.
After entering the northern barbarian territory, the six armies split up again, breaking into smaller units and launching guerrilla warfare.
Wherever they went, not a single northern barbarian survived.
The slaughter terrified the northern barbarians.
The battle reports from the Northern Barbarians also reached the capital immediately.
Upon receiving the news, the Emperor of Eastern Qin was overjoyed, as he had not expected Qin Wu to act so swiftly.
Each battle report was a resounding victory, which gave him even more confidence in the upcoming war against the Northern Barbarians.
However, dissenting voices still emerged in the imperial court.
Many people believe that Emperor Wu of Qin was too ruthless and should not have massacred the northern barbarian people.
They all petitioned the Emperor of Eastern Qin to issue an edict to stop Qin Wu's actions.
Some even suggested that the Emperor of Eastern Qin should punish Emperor Wu of Qin.
This angered the Emperor of Eastern Qin, who directly punished the group of people who were causing the most trouble.
Even after being punished, this group was still unwilling to accept it and even started spreading rumors everywhere.
They intended to use this to put pressure on the Emperor of Eastern Qin, but that very night they were all poisoned and lay in bed, suffering a torment worse than death.
Some people couldn't bear the torment and even chose to commit suicide.
When this happened, the Court of Judicial Review and the Ministry of Justice immediately sent people to investigate, but they hastily closed the case halfway through.
There was nothing we could do; we dared not investigate further. The poison that had afflicted those people all originated from the Divine Martial King's Mansion.
Without a doubt, the Minister of Justice and the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review knew that it was the work of those living ancestors in the backyard of the Divine Martial King.
Even if they investigate to the very end, they still won't be able to do anything about these people.
They dared not go to the Divine Martial King's Mansion to arrest people, otherwise they would anger these living ancestors of the Divine Martial King's Mansion, and they would be the next ones to be poisoned.
This matter was quickly reported to the Emperor of Eastern Qin.
The Emperor of Dongqin only gave one sentence: If you dare to go to the Divine Martial King's Mansion to arrest people, then go ahead, and bear the consequences yourself.
Because of this statement, the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review could only hastily find some scapegoats and close the case quickly.
Upon receiving the news, the princes were filled with rage.
They never expected that even with Qin Wu on campaign, the women of the Divine Martial Prince's Mansion would still be so unscrupulous, daring to poison court officials.
But there was nothing they could do.
After all, even though the Divine Martial King has left, there is still a Grandmaster-level expert in the Divine Martial King's Mansion.
They really had no way to solve it.
They had no choice but to back down and wait for another opportunity.
After the women's actions, the court finally quieted down, much to the delight of the Emperor of Eastern Qin.
He secretly remarked that his son and daughter-in-law were the best at dealing with these officials.
As a result, everyone behaved themselves, and the rumors in the capital disappeared without him even having to send people to suppress them.
As reports of battles against the northern barbarians continued to reach the capital, the people of the capital held Qin Wu in even higher esteem.
They considered Qin Wu to be their Eastern Qin war god.
The entire capital was in a state of celebration.
Those military families, in particular, were extremely excited.
If they can defeat the Northern Barbarians in this battle, their family will take another step forward, or even more than one step forward.
Upon receiving the news, the leaders of the six major clans turned pale.
They already had no way to deal with Qin Wu, and if Qin Wu were to conquer the Northern Barbarians, they would be even more helpless against him.
One man leading an army to destroy two countries—such an achievement is unprecedented and unparalleled.
As long as Qin Wu doesn't rebel, no one can do anything to him.
Even if they join forces, it won't work.
But it's clearly impossible for them to stop it now.
They originally intended to tamper with the grain supplies, but Qin Wu only took a large amount of grain supplies with him when he left.
They no longer asked for food supplies, but they couldn't touch the military equipment either.
Otherwise, once discovered, even if they are a clan, they won't get away with it.
Especially after the Eastern Qin annexed the Southern Qi, the Eastern Qin emperor's power increased significantly, and they were already at a disadvantage in their confrontations with the Eastern Qin emperor.
To maintain their advantage, the Eastern Qin Emperor's harem has become quite lively.
No matter which concubine the Emperor of Eastern Qin visited, he would be whispered in her ear.
After this happened repeatedly, the Emperor of Eastern Qin stopped visiting even the inner palace.
There's no way around it, it's just too annoying.
There was practically no quiet place in either the imperial court or the inner palace.
While Qin Wu was leading his troops in battle, preparations for the imperial examinations began in the court.
After all, the Southern Qi still needs to replenish its officials, and in addition to the Southern Qi, the Northern Barbarian territories also need people to manage them.
All of these require a large number of officials to handle.
News of the Eastern Qin's expedition against the Northern Barbarians quickly reached the Western Zhou.
When the Western Zhou received the news, they were all shocked. They really did not expect that the Eastern Qin would send troops to the Northern Barbarians at this time.
There's no need to digest the territory of Southern Qi first.
However, the Western Zhou Dynasty is now powerless to do anything about it, as internal strife within the Western Zhou is equally severe.
However, they also became wary, fearing that Dong Qin would take action against them.
The major powers of the Western Zhou Dynasty also began to secretly work together, wanting to join forces to confront the now powerful Eastern Qin.
Although their internal strife was severe, it was much better than that of the Southern Qi dynasty.
They did not want to follow in the footsteps of the Southern Qi dynasty.
The entire royal family and clans of the Southern Qi dynasty were wiped out.
Qin Wu's side continued to attack the Northern Barbarians.
In just two months, they had already conquered more than half of the territory of the Northern Barbarians.
The Northern Barbarian King and the two wise kings also received the news.
After a period of negotiations, the three parties ceased hostilities and prepared to join forces to drive the Eastern Qin army out of the Northern Barbarian territory.
It's not too late to settle the score after we drive away the Eastern Qin army.
