Chapter 566 Food and Grass Destroyed
Feng Qinghua stood there and glanced at Emperor Xuantong with some embarrassment, "Your Majesty, if you have nothing to do, I will leave first."
Emperor Xuantong took a look at Feng Qinghua. His face was indeed similar to Princess Xilan's, but Feng Qinghua's temperament was somewhat similar to that of the seventh princess.
"Are your parents still alive?" Emperor Xuantong looked at Feng Qinghua and asked seemingly unintentionally.
Feng Qinghua shook her head, "A civilian girl is an orphan. I don't know if her parents are still alive."
Feng Qinghua glanced at Emperor Xuantong calmly. Was Emperor Xuantong doubting his identity?
"That's right." Emperor Xuantong nodded, "I heard from Lao Qi that your medical skills are quite good."
Feng Qinghua was blessed and said, "Your Majesty is so complimentary."
Noting Feng Qinghua's unwillingness to speak, Emperor Xuantong waved his hand towards her, "Okay, I'm tired, you can go down."
"Daughter of the people, please retire." Feng Qinghua greeted Emperor Xuantong again before turning around and leaving.
After leaving the camp, the smile on Feng Qinghua's face suddenly disappeared. Emperor Xuantong didn't know when he started to have doubts about her identity. It seems that he should be more careful in the future.
Zhan Beixiao led his troops all the way west to the border of Xixia.
"Go down and order all armies to stop and set up camp, and send people to check out the situation on the Xixia side." Zhan Beixiao glanced at the Xixia border that was vaguely visible in the distance, and ordered in a low voice.
The lieutenant general was a little confused, "Your Majesty, why don't you attack directly in one go?"
"No, both sides are in the wait-and-see stage, and the soldiers have been marching for a day and should take a rest."
The deputy general said no more and retreated.
Zhan Beixiao sat in the camp and wrote a letter to Feng Qinghua.
Over in Xixia, they saw a group of troops stationed a hundred miles away.
"I saw someone coming from Tianling. They just set up camp and didn't intend to fight." The Xixia general stood on the high platform, looked at the dark group of people not far away, and sneered, "It's a bluff.
"
"Take some people to take a look. I, the general, would like to see who the legendary God of War is." The Xixia general waved his hand, and the deputy general walked away.
Just as Zhan Beixiao handed over Xinjian to the secret guard, there was a burst of noisy footsteps not far away.
"Your Majesty, it's not good, Xixia troops are making noise below the tower!" the soldier gasped.
Zhan Beixiao frowned slightly, stood up and walked out.
Standing on the tower, Zhan Beixiao could see the Xixia soldiers sitting on their horses under the tower not far away, waving the Xixia battle flag in their hands, and making a loud noise.
"Why didn't the Tianling army send troops to fight?"
"Is it because your God of War has been cultivating for several years and can't even hold a gun?"
"Hahahahaha!"
Then a burst of rough laughter sounded from downstairs.
Zhan Beixiao squinted his eyes and glanced at the soldiers downstairs, but his expression remained unchanged.
"Your Majesty, these people are really too much, please send troops to fight!" The soldiers guarding the city turned red, and knelt down to Zhan Beixiao, begging for his orders.
Zhan Beixiao's eyes were looking at a distance not far away, not knowing what he was looking at.
"Your Majesty, you gave the order!" the soldier repeated anxiously, "I voluntarily ask for orders to kill the Xixia enemy!"
Immediately afterwards, many soldiers knelt down and shouted, "I voluntarily ask for orders to kill the Xixia enemy!"
The Xixia soldiers downstairs seemed to have heard the voices on the tower and stopped shouting, waiting for Zhan Beixiao's decision.
"Shut up!" the lieutenant general who followed Zhan Beixiao roared angrily, "You are so outrageous. Your Majesty has ordered you to suppress the border. How can you put your finger on it?"
Zhan Beixiao stretched out his hand to stop the deputy general behind him, "Everyone is tired from the journey. Let's have a good rest first. Send someone to pay attention to the defense changes at night."
After saying that, Zhan Beixiao went straight down the tower.
Several Xixia soldiers looked at each other and thought that Zhan Beixiao was too afraid to send troops to fight, so they suddenly became even more arrogant.
The faces of the soldiers guarding the city were all red, and they wanted to rush forward and kill these Xixia soldiers directly. However, despite the heavy military orders, they did not act rashly.
Several Xixia soldiers clamored for a while, but still no one came to fight. A few of them felt bored and rode back to the Xixia position.
"Your Majesty, everyone has left." The deputy general came in and reported the situation over there to Zhan Beixiao.
Zhan Beixiao nodded, "You have always guarded the border and are familiar with the terrain here. You will go down secretly later and draw out a hundred soldiers."
"My lord, are you going to..." The city guard commander glanced at Zhan Beixiao doubtfully.
Zhan Beixiao circled a place on the map, "I want you to burn Xixia's grain and grass at night."
"Today the Xixia soldiers came to shout, but the prince did not respond. The Xixia army has always been arrogant, and they will definitely think that we dare not go to war. Your prince is really a good strategy!" the commander said with admiration.
Several people looked at each other with joy, and burned the food and grass. This would cut off Xixia's retreat. Now that the Xixia army was stationed outside the border, without food and grass, they might have to leave in despair.
Zhan Beixiao's expression did not change, "The soldiers you select must be familiar with the terrain. At any time, the guarding of grain and grass in Xixia must be a top priority. You must be careful."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, my subordinates will definitely live up to Your Majesty's high expectations." The commander clasped his fists and walked away happily.
Zhan Beixiao glanced at the other commanders in the camp and said, "Everyone, please go back and rest."
At night, several pairs of men and horses quietly approached the camp where the Xixia army was stationed.
The group of people were wearing black night clothes, carrying bows and arrows on their backs, and took advantage of the terrain to hide in the darkness.
"Come on, let's all drink!"
The Xixia army was celebrating at this time, "If you ask me, this Tianling Kingdom will be defeated without a fight!"
"Hahaha!" The soldier laughed loudly, "What about the God of War, Prince, it's just a pretense!"
Everyone was immersed in joy and did not notice that many people around them had their necks wiped quietly.
"Everyone put on the clothes of these Xixia soldiers, go in separately, light the food and grass, and gather here." The man ordered in a deep voice, and rushed out first.
"Hey, you guys, go over there and bring us some jars of wine!" As soon as a few people came over, a man grabbed them by the collar.
Several people looked at each other and slowly walked towards the place where the wine jar was stored.
"Hey, where are you going?" Several soldiers stopped them.
"The adults over there want us to deliver wine." A soldier pointed to the camp not far away.
Several soldiers were drunk and paid no attention to them.
The wine was poured around the tent, and several people lit the huozhezi.
"It's on fire! Come and put out the fire!"
In the darkness, a panicked voice sounded, "Quickly put out the fire! The grain and grass camp is on fire!"
