"Sir, there is a white light in the east. What does it mean?"
Qing Mulan came running from a distance, pointed at the white light in the east and asked.
She only guessed that the white light must be a signal, but Jin Feng never told her what it meant specifically.
"The white light means we have captured Mao'er Mountain." Jin Feng replied.
"Great!" Qing Mulan almost jumped up with excitement.
The Ninth Princess's expression was always very calm, but Jin Feng saw that the knuckles of her fingers holding the tea cup were slightly white.
It's hard to say whether his heart is as calm as his face.
"Wuyang, can we go to Mao'er Mountain now?" Qing Mulan asked.
The strategic location of Mao'er Mountain was very important, and she had to confirm it with her own eyes before she could rest assured.
The Ninth Princess did not answer, but looked at Jin Feng.
Although she is the nominal leader of the team, she will discuss all major actions with Jin Feng.
Seeing Jin Feng nod, the Ninth Princess stood up and asked Qin'er to call Wei Datong over.
"I have met His Highness! I have met Mr. Jin!"
Wei Datong first bowed to the Ninth Princess, and then raised his hand to Jin Feng: "I wonder what your Highness has to say when he calls your officials over?"
"Sir, tell me." Ninth Princess looked at Jin Feng.
"Mao'er Mountain has been captured. We need Lord Wei to help organize the people and transport a batch of grain to Mao'er Mountain. Please also ask Lord Wei to resettle the remaining people." Jin Feng said.
Meng Tianhai's troops had been hungry for so many days, so they had to send some food there, otherwise the soldiers would not have the strength to fight.
There are only a few hundred bodyguards, so they can only send food to the people.
And if this plan is successful, the people will also have a share of the credit.
If they hadn't pretended to be bodyguards to confuse Sangji, Sangji wouldn't have sent 3,000 people to support Jinmahe.
Then the plan to capture Mao'er Mountain will not go so smoothly.
"Your Highness, don't worry, Mr. Jin. I know nothing about marching and fighting, but I will handle the delivery of food and the resettlement of the people properly."
Wei Datong patted his chest and assured.
If Xichuan City falls, Wei Datong, the transshipment envoy, will also be destroyed.
In fact, before Wei Datong came, he already had a premonition in his mind.
Now that I have been verified by Jin Feng, I am still very excited.
"Master Wei is too humble to say this. If it weren't for Master Wei this time, the plan would not go so smoothly." Jin Feng said with a smile.
He and Ninth Princess had gone to Jindi many times before, but could not decide which river mouth to open.
Later, Wei Datong joined the expedition team, and that was the scene in which the Tibetan army was flooded in the afternoon.
Wei Datong was very familiar with the Jinma River. The mouth of the river he chose had high terrain and the right amount of water to wash away the Tibetan troops without causing flooding downstream.
By this time, the Jinma River had calmed down and returned to normal water levels.
In order to ensure that the plan was 100% successful, Wei Datong also selected two alternate river mouths.
"It is my duty and honor to serve His Highness!"
Wei Datong asked: "Does Your Highness have any other instructions?"
"No more." Ninth Princess waved her hand.
"Then let me go and get busy first!" Wei Datong bowed his hands and stepped back.
Before leaving, he glanced at Jin Feng gratefully.
He could feel that the Ninth Princess was very satisfied with him.
If it weren't for Jin Feng's recommendation, I'm afraid he wouldn't have gotten this opportunity.
Professional matters should be left to professionals.
Wei Datong was not only familiar with the Jinma River water conservancy, but also knew the way to serve as an official.
The Ninth Princess thought of this when she ordered him to take all the hidden food on board.
In addition to their strong organizational skills, when Jin Feng and Ninth Princess came down the mountain, they had already seen the civilians starting to unload food from the boat.
At eight or nine o'clock in the night, the Ninth Princess came to Mao'er Mountain under the protection of Jin Feng and others.
"The criminal, Meng Tianhai, pays homage to His Highness!"
Meng Tianhai and a group of generals were waiting at the foot of the mountain.
Seeing the Ninth Princess, a group of generals knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads.
Qing Xinyao sent them to Mao'er Mountain to stop the Tibetan army and buy time for the people to evacuate.
It also buys time for preparations to defend the city.
However, they did not hold on for even a day before the Tibetan army broke through the barrier, leaving the surrounding people with no time to retreat.
For this crime, beheading is enough.
Meng Tianhai was really ashamed and worried that Princess Ninth would kill him on the spot.
"Save your heads to your necks first. If you continue to be cowardly and lazy in fighting, and miss the opportunity to fight, all centurions and above will be killed! All other soldiers will be sent to the northern border and into the vanguard camp!"
When Wei Datong asked for forgiveness, the Ninth Princess did not respond.
But this time the Ninth Princess was obviously really angry, and what she said was very cruel.
"Yes!" Meng Tianhai touched his forehead to the ground: "Your Highness, don't worry, even if you die in front of the battle this time, the guilty minister will never take a step back!"
"For the sake of your many years of service to brother Xinyao, I will give you another chance to make meritorious deeds!"
The Ninth Princess raised her chin and said in a cold voice: "You will be the vanguard in this counterattack. If you can accomplish the strategic goals set by me and Mr. Jin, I will report to my father to protect your lives!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Meng Tianhai and the generals behind him kowtowed at the same time to thank him.
Jin Feng looked at the back of the Ninth Princess and nodded slightly.
As expected of the Ninth Princess who can compete with old foxes in the court, she is so skillful in combining kindness and power.
These few words not only shocked Meng Tianhai and the generals, but also gave them hope of survival.
Now I am not afraid that Meng Tianhai and the others will be disobedient.
The soldiers in Maoershan had been hungry for several days. Now that they had food, they buried pots to cook as soon as possible.
Soon, the aroma of rice filled the camp.
…
Outside Xichuan City, Danzhu also received news from Mao'er Mountain one after another.
At first, Cidan and Ngawang came to report that the stone bridge of Jinma River had been captured, and Cidan also told about the Black Armored Team.
However, Danzhu did not believe that Dakang had such an elite army, and thought that Cidan was looking for an excuse to escape guilt for losing the stone bridge.
Then soon he received the news that Mao'er Mountain had been captured and Sanji was killed by two black-armored teams that appeared out of thin air.
Danzhu was shocked and immediately sent out a large number of scouts and agents to find out what happened.
Immediately afterwards, more and more detailed information was sent to him one after another.
Only then did Danzhu realize that Sangji had fallen into the enemy's scheme, causing three thousand Tibetan soldiers to be submerged in the flood.
The black-armored team also really exists, and its combat effectiveness is as powerful as Cidan said.
It's just that the number is not as large as Cidan said. Most of the men in black are disguised as refugees from Dakang.
"This Princess Dakang is not simple!"
Danzhu held the information in his hand and frowned tightly.
The fighting methods in this world are as backward as the smelting and weaving. In most wars, the enemy and we each gather their troops and then find an open space to attack each other. Whoever cannot hold it back first will lose.
Like Qing Huai, who led the party cavalry in circles in the mountains, he was already a master in commanding the army.
Danzhu has been fighting for half his life, and this is the first time he has seen an opponent using floods to deal with the enemy.
"General, it's not Princess Chen Wen'er we should be careful about, but this person named Jin Feng."
An old man with a long beard walked into the big tent.
