In the sixteenth year of Rongcheng's reign, His Royal Highness Xia Lishuang finally made a difficult decision in the face of the second prince stationed in the northern border who threatened the emperor to order the princes.
He stayed here to guard the capital, while Crown Princess Wen Ranran and Xia Lishuang's biological mother, Queen Tao, went out with two hundred thousand troops.
To outsiders, this is simply a crazy express delivery move, but only the person involved knows the helplessness and rationality involved.
It was late autumn at this time, and it was the time to say goodbye. The autumn wind was bleak and the warm sun was gentle. Wen Ranran yawned, rode on the horse, and looked back at the capital city behind him, still feeling a little nostalgic.
"What? You can't bear to part with me?" Queen Tao's chuckle came from behind her.
Wen Ranran smiled, but there was hidden worry in her eyes.
"Although he said that he would join us when the matter here is over, but the palace is empty, the Jiang family's motives are unclear, and only 30,000 city guards are left in the capital... I am worried about everything.
If something happens..."
Queen Tao nodded. She was actually worried about this too, but things were already like this, and there was no use worrying anymore.
"Don't worry, the southwest is stable and the south of the Five Ridges is peaceful. As long as the Yan and Bin countries are not moving north and west, the capital city can be said to be a stable place now!" Queen Tao touched Wen Ranran's head with a hint of unspeakable sadness.
gentle.
After driving for more than ten days, we finally arrived at the first stop on our way north, Chengyang County.
The geographical location of Chengyang County is very special. It is very close to Youzhou, and Youzhou is the last barrier to reach Pingzhou where it is stationed.
If Xia Lihong has been stationed in Pingzhou for so many years, making Pingzhou like a glass cannon and no one dares to enter, then Youzhou must be the last barrier for Yan State to go south and enter the capital.
And behind this barrier, there is naturally a military powerhouse like Chengyang County.
After finally arriving, Wen Ranran breathed a sigh of relief. After several days of riding horses, she was a little tired. Wen Ranran's inner thighs were even a little worn.
Fortunately, she also knows how to balance work and rest, and does not force herself to establish authority. Instead, she just constantly adjusts her physical condition.
"Princess, ahead is Chengyang County!"
Around her, Shen Tong has now become Wen Ranran's personal bodyguard, while Qian Yu is protecting Queen Tao.
At this moment, Shen Tong was dressed in military uniform, and his spirit was completely different from before. He was looking at Wen Ranran with a smile.
Wen Ranran nodded, "Thank you for your hard work. Let the soldiers camp on the spot to avoid disturbing the people in the city. Let's go into the city and take a look!"
"It's better not to enter the city first, just have another hard day!" Behind her, Queen Tao looked at the city gate, smiled slightly, and refuted Wen Ranran's opinion.
Wen Ranran was slightly startled.
This is the first time that she and her mother-in-law have come out to lead troops, so they can't get along at this time, right?
Unexpectedly, Queen Tao just smiled and said, "The little girl is still too young. The area outside Chengyang County is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is the best time to deploy military defenses. But... we entered the pass and walked all the way. This
There are not many military defense arrangements at key points on both sides of the Taiwan Strait...it needs to be investigated!"
Wen Ranran looked at Queen Tao blankly, her eyes widening involuntarily.
Good guy, her mother-in-law is simply a wizard in war!
"Okay! Listen to the Queen Mother!" Wen Ranran immediately obeyed.
Queen Tao did not expect that Wen Ranran would follow her advice so quickly. After all, Wen Ranran was a capable person, and most capable people would be a little arrogant, not to mention that Wen Ranran had already achieved such achievements at such a young age.
.
"I thought you would object or be unhappy." Queen Tao took off the wine bag from her horse, took a sip herself, and handed it to Wen Ranran.
Wen Ranran chuckled and took a sip of wine. She felt that her body had warmed up a lot, and then she smiled.
"Although I have many crooked ideas, I have little experience after all. When my mother fought in the war, her experience is naturally much richer than mine. Let the right people do the right things, right?"
Queen Tao suddenly smiled, pinched Wen Ranran's face, and suddenly she liked her daughter-in-law even more.
