: God fails to fulfill his wish

Author: Bei Wei

Xiao Zhuojun waited for work, waiting for Xiao Beiheng to come to fight.

The first to start the battle was the Qiang Lin road.

On the first day, Shen Yuexi drank old hen soup in the morning, roasted chicken for lunch, and nibbled on a chicken rack in the evening. She licked her lips and smacked her tongue as she ate more than she could eat.

The scout came to report: "After the Qiang Lin King led the Xirong army to build a camp in Baixiu Mountain, the enemy's vanguard arrived at about 20,000 people that day. The two sides fought fiercely. The Xirong army was condescending and beat the enemy to pieces, killing two thousand enemies. A great victory. achievement!"

Shen Yuexi was very happy. Xiao Zhuo ordered the marching leader to write down the Qiang Lin King, Shen Lan's first achievement.

The next day, Shen Yuexi drank old hen soup in the morning, grilled chicken bibimbap for lunch, and stewed chicken nuggets at night. For some reason, she felt the taste was average.

The scout came to report: "The enemy's vanguard tried to bypass Baixiu Mountain, but was stoned by the defenders on the mountain until they cried for their parents and had to retreat. We killed more than a thousand enemies in this battle. Please take credit for the victory!"

Xiao Zhuo asked the master to write it down in the merit book again.

On the third day, Shen Yuexi drank old hen soup in the morning and stewed chicken legs for lunch, which she barely finished.

The scout came to report: "The main force of the enemy army has camped at the foot of Baixiu Mountain, and they are shouting and cursing. King Qiang Lin and military advisor Shen Lan are not able to come out. The enemy attacked twice, but failed in both cases. They lost more than 3,500 people. A great victory. Please take credit!”

Xiao Zhuo called Master Bo and recorded the third merit for King Qiang Lin and Shen Lan.

After the master walked out of the tent, Xiao Zhuocai picked up his pen and looked at the list in front of him, frowning and thinking hard, when Shen Yuexi came in from outside the tent, looking angry.

"Husband, who arranged this recipe? Why do I get chicken soup and chicken served to me every day, and it makes me feel so uncomfortable to eat it."

Xiao Zhuo's face turned red, his eyes avoided her, and he put down the list in his hand: "Me."

Shen Yuexi said: "Why?"

"Isn't it good for the baby to drink more chicken soup and eat more chicken?"

Shen Yuexi walked up to Xiao Zhuo, lowered her head and saw that the list Xiao Zhuo had just put down had a whole page written on it, and the title read "My Beloved Wife Yue Xi's Recipe". She grabbed it without hesitation and glanced at it. Yes, my eyes are full of cocks, cocks, cocks... I'm totally in competition with chickens.

Xiao Zhuo is a wooden lump. No matter how delicious the chicken is, you can't just eat it every time. At least try a different taste.

She didn't waste any words, just grabbed the pen from Xiao Zhuo's hand and corrected it herself.

Just drink chicken soup in the morning, it’s really nourishing. You have to eat something else at noon, grilled fish is good, write it down. Roast mutton is also good, or stew beef brisket... It seems that some people in the army are fishing and have even caught soft-shell turtles, so I have to try it. Try something new...Don't be too greasy at night, eat some light porridge, add some vegetables and fruits.

She was hunched over her desk writing furiously, and Xiao Zhuo was sitting opposite her, reading and asking questions.

"Yue Xi, what do these words say?"

"Roast mutton. Don't add chili pepper. Eating chili pepper can easily cause acne."

"What about here?"

"When stewing beef brisket, remember not to add star anise."

“Can eating star anise cause acne?”

"My husband is an idiot."

A sergeant came into the tent and reported: "King An, the enemy's front army of 50,000 has arrived in front of our formation and is setting up camp. The rear army is only ten miles away from here and can arrive today."

Xiao Zhuo nodded and said to Shen Yuexi: "Yuexi, the enemy has arrived. I'll go out first to see where the enemy is coming."

Shen Yuexi was writing vigorously when she heard the enemy troops coming. She dropped her pen and said, "Husband, I will write the recipe later. I will accompany you to see it."

The two of them left the camp and came to the watchtower.

Mei Dai and Qiu Liming were already watching the enemy camp on the opposite side from the watchtower. Seeing Xiao Zhuo and his two men arriving, Mei Dai said: "King An, look at the opposite side, the camp is quite organized."

Xiao Zhuo looked at the flag on the opposite side and said nothing, but his brows gradually furrowed.

Shen Yuexi noticed Xiao Zhuo's expression, raised her palms between her brows to shield her from the noon sun, and looked across. After looking for a long time, she didn't see anything worth frowning on.

She just put down her hand and Xiao Zhuo said: "The person opposite is not Xiao Beiheng."

As soon as these words came out, everyone on the watchtower was stunned.

Mei Dai said: "Why did Prince An say this?"

Qiu Liming also said in confusion: "Aren't the flags on the opposite side all of Xiao Beiheng's? How could the lord say otherwise?"

Xiao Zhuo slapped the guardrail with both hands, turned around and said, "Let's go back to the commander's tent."

Seeing his serious expression, everyone descended from the watchtower one after another and followed him to the handsome tent.

"The layout of the camp opposite is not Xiao Beiheng's style," Xiao Zhuo said. "The flags can be changed at will, but a person's style of doing things will not change."

Shen Yuexi said: "Then who is the commander of the army on the opposite side?"

"Zhao Mu." Xiao Zhuo said.

Qiu Liming disagreed and said: "What's the point? Anyway, there are hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides. We will fight no matter who we fight."

Shen Yuexi also felt that what Qiu Liming said was reasonable. We had to fight anyway, and the soldiers would come to cover up the water and the earth.

The other generals in the tent also nodded, and Feng Zhang even patted his chest and said: "My lord, it doesn't matter if it's Zhao Mu who's here, we will definitely defeat this old guy."

Only Mei Dai did not agree. She frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and said, "Oops."

Xiao Zhuo also looked at Mei Dai and said, "The Queen's guess is correct."

Shen Yuexi was confused by these two smart people and interrupted: "What are you talking about? What's wrong?"

Mei Dai said: "Sister, this is Zhao Mu, where is Xiao Beiheng?"

Shen Yuexi said: "It goes without saying that with only two enemy armies, Xiao Beiheng is naturally worshiping Xiushan."

Mei Dai said: "Sister, when King An asked Qiang Lin to pay homage to Xiushan, it was to keep him away from Xiao Beiheng. Xiao Beiheng hated him for killing his wife. King An discussed with me and transferred him because he was afraid that he would not be calm-minded. Far from here. But I didn’t expect..."

After Mei Dai explained, Shen Yuexi also understood.

Although Mrs. Li and her daughter were poisoned by Pei Jingyun, Qiang Lin has regarded it as a blood feud. Qiang Lin himself is the king of Xirong, and is not considered a general of Xiao Zhuo, nor a subordinate of Mei Dai. He is considered an ally and cannot be regarded as an ally. Military law commands him. If he makes reckless decisions for revenge, he will be in trouble.

Xiao Zhuo had said before that Baixiu Mountain was the key to the entire war. Once Baixiu Mountain was lost, the enemy would be able to outflank Xiao Zhuo's army's retreat. In this case, Xiao Zhuo's army would be attacked from both sides and there would be a risk of the entire army being destroyed.

Unfortunately, Qiang Lin faced off against his enemy Xiao Beiheng.

There was silence in the big tent for a moment. Shen Yuexi looked at Xiao Zhuo and Mei Dai's heavy expressions and knew that something was wrong. But thinking of the battle reports that had come in the past few days, she felt a little lucky and said: "Husband, didn't the scout say Qiang Lin and sister have been strictly guarded and not come out, there should be no problem."

Xiao Zhuo shook his head and said nothing, with a stern look on his face.

Mei Dai cupped her hands and said, "King An, time is running out. I'm afraid it's too late to mobilize the infantry. I'll take the Xiliang cavalry and go quickly to rescue Baixiu Mountain."

Xiao Zhuo shook his head and said: "No, we only have 50,000 troops here. If we mobilize our troops and leave again, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand the attack from the opposite side. The top priority is to let the Qiang Lin defend the camp fence. Don't be impulsive."

Shen Yuexi took two quick steps forward and stood between Xiao Zhuo and Mei Dai: "Husband, let me go. Xiaobai is a thousand-mile horse and can reach Baixiu Mountain very quickly."

Xiao Zhuo's eyes lit up, but when they landed on Shen Yuexi's abdomen, he shook his head and said, "No, it's too dangerous for you to go."

Mei Dai also advised: "Sister, you are pregnant, so don't take risks."

Shen Yuexi said: "I can only do this. Little White Horse is quick. Besides, Qiang Lin swore allegiance to me before, so he will listen to me."

Xiao Zhuo nodded slightly and said, "That's true. Among the people here, only Yue Xi can stop King Qiang Lin's impulse."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Shen Yuexi turned around and ran out of the tent, "Come here, prepare your princess's horse quickly."

The military situation is like a fire and cannot be delayed for a moment.

Everyone chased them out of the tent. Xiao Zhuo held her shoulders and said: "Yue Xi, this matter is related to the survival of the entire army. King Qiang Lin does not have much experience in commanding, and my sister is not resourceful enough to rival Xiao Beiheng. You hurry up." After arriving at Baixiu Mountain, be sure to ask the Qiang Lin King to guard the camp fence. The fate of the entire army depends on you."

The soldiers led the Zhaoye Jade Lion, and Shen Yuexi pulled the saddle and stepped on it, flying onto the horse.

Although she knew that this trip was a heavy responsibility, she was also a person who had experienced many storms. She waved to Xiao Zhuo with a smile and said: "Don't worry, husband, you also know what I am capable of, just leave it to me."

The camp door opened, and everyone raised their hands to say goodbye to Shen Yuexi. Shen Yuexi knocked his stirrups: "Xiaobai, let's go pay homage to Xiushan."

Xiaobai hissed before turning the horse's head. The parrot Liuli flew out of the tent, folded its wings and landed on her shoulders, shouting: "Yuexi, good luck and good fortune."

Shen Yuexi raised her hand and patted Liuli on the head: "Okay, then come with me. Don't fly around."

One person, one horse and one bird, escorted by a group of cavalry, left the Anwang Army camp and headed towards Baixiu Mountain.

Mei Dai stood next to Xiao Zhuo, watching Shen Yuexi's figure turn into a black dot, she put her hands on her chest and said, "Sister, you must come back safely."

Several cannon shots rang out in the Zhao Mujun camp, which was the signal to dispatch troops.
