The general of the Tongzhou Military Camp is named Niu Zhi, who is Wei Yuande's confidant who was specially transferred here. He is a tall man with a tall horse and a long beard. He is an authentic northern strong man. He is whipping his whip and training troops on the school field.
"General Niu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." Come over and report.
General Niu threw his riding boots to the deputy general and strode towards the camp.
When General Niu arrived, Wei Yuande had already entered the camp.
He had already picked off the disguise cream on his face, but his clothes were still ordinary cloth. At this moment, he asked his servants to bring water in and wash his face.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince." General Niu stepped forward and saluted.
"General Niu, you don't need to be polite, sit down." Wei Yuande washed his face and threw the towel into the basin. He sat down at the table and picked up the teacup and took a sip.
He looked a little tired, but his tone was particularly high-spirited, "How are the preparations for the war? This prince will personally supervise the battle."
"Your Highness, you have just arrived back to Tongzhou, please rest first before talking about the war!" Niu Zhi said with a smile.
"Rest? If I rest for one more day, I will give the Night King one more day to prepare." Wei Yuande took the fan on the table and fanned it, "Since the Night King is plotting rebellion, we must take him down as soon as possible.
Without delay.”
The Night King and Shen Yuyu played tricks on him, causing the prince to feed mosquitoes in Daqi for two months without even seeing the faces of Emperor Jingyuan and Shen Yuyu.
Old and new grudges made the anger in his chest burn brightly, and he wished he could immediately send troops to conquer Lingzhou, trample the Night King under his feet, and trample Shen Yuyu under his feet.
"General Niu, is it possible that you are not ready yet? What should you do if you are hesitant?" Seeing General Niu hesitate to speak, Wei Yuande glared at him angrily.
"Go back to Your Highness the Crown Prince, our troops are naturally ready." Niu Zhi hurriedly raised his head and said cautiously, "But what is the situation of the Night King's troops and horses? We haven't found out the truth yet, so I would be afraid of hurriedly deploying troops."
You will suffer a loss."
"What other false and true methods do you want to find out?" Wei Yuande asked back.
"At least we need to know how many soldiers and horses the Night King has." General Niu replied, "The Night King has been recruiting troops and forging weapons during this period. His troops have grown rapidly. If we don't even know how many soldiers and horses he has,
I’m afraid it’s better not to use troops easily.”
"Perhaps Your Highness will mobilize another five hundred thousand troops to ensure that nothing goes wrong and defeat the Night King in one fell swoop.'
After hearing this, Wei Yuande looked at Niu Zhi with dissatisfaction.
"General Niu, you really disappoint me!"
"No matter how many soldiers the Night King recruits, without training they are just farm boys who only know how to swing a hoe. How can they fight?"
"To put it bluntly, he only has the 100,000 soldiers from the Red Flame Battalion that can be used. The rest are new recruits who can't even touch a knife. What's so scary? If you don't know how to command, I, the prince, will take command personally and take the map.
Come.
Seeing Wei Yuande getting angry, Niu Zhi could only take the map and spread it out on the table.
"Your Highness, please take a look." Niu Zhi picked up a small wooden stick and pointed it at the rows of peaks. He said earnestly, "Lingzhou has a geographical advantage. It is separated from Tongzhou by a mountain range. This mountain range is like
A natural barrier stands between the two states."
"There are only three ways to invade Lingzhou, one by land and two by water."
"This is Kirigakure Mountain, the only land route, but the mountain is so steep that it's easy to be ambushed.
"The big river at the foot of Kirigakure Mountain is one of the waterways. However, this river has fast currents and reefs, so only small boats can pass, not warships."
Then he pointed to the big river next to Dahe Town, "This is the only river where warships can be deployed, and soldiers can land in Dahe Town." After hearing this, Wei Yuande slapped his thigh, "Then the troops will be divided into three groups, each with their own troops.
Send 100,000 troops to see how he can defend himself against the Night King."
Niu Zhi explained, "The waterway under Wuyin Mountain cannot be used by large ships, so we can only send small boats to secretly transport some elite soldiers in for raids."
"Then divide the troops into two groups." Wei Yuande said, "After all, the Night King only has 100,000 troops. No matter how he deploys his troops, we will always defeat the enemy with more numbers."
"Splitting the troops into two groups is the most conservative strategy." Niu Zhi thought for a while and analyzed, "However, Wuyin Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Night King estimates that he can defend it with ten to twenty thousand troops, and he will definitely defend the other troops.
Place it in Dahe Town.
"Well, that makes sense." Wei Yuande narrowed his narrow eyes, "Then send a hundred thousand troops to Wuyin Mountain, and the rest will take the waterway and go straight to Lingzhou.'
Niu Zhi knew that he could not stop the prince's decision, and he had no need to stop it.
He was not sure about this battle. The Night King was too cunning to spy out the military situation in Lingzhou. Even if the prince was in the battle, he could not blame him even if he lost the battle.
"Your Highness, please summon all the lieutenants here to discuss the matter of sending troops," Niu Zhidao said.
"Okay, go quickly." Wei Yuande leaned back in his chair, looking like he was sure of victory.
Qi Beicheng, outside Beicheng, Emperor Jingyuan of Da Qi and his entourage sent the second princess Shen Yuyu to this place and stopped.
"Daughter, your father and your brother sent you here." Emperor Jingyuan looked at Shen Yuyu lovingly, "No matter how difficult the road ahead is, it will depend on you and the Night King working together, but
Your father will always be your solid backing."
"Thank you, father." Shen Yuyu's nose felt sore, and she stepped forward to hug Emperor Jing Yuan. "Father, don't worry, my daughter is confident that she can help the Night King clear all obstacles and give him the position on the throne.'
"Yes." Emperor Jingyuan nodded solemnly, "Sending him to the throne was not for personal gain, but for the sake of the common people in the world, you know.'
"Yes, my daughter understands." Shen Yuyu also nodded heavily, and then took out the Tianshan Ice Jade Box, "Father, this contains forty beads of antidote. The method of taking it has been explained to Eunuch Lin in detail by my daughter." To be safe.
For the sake of safety, she packed ten more pills.
"Second Princess, don't worry. I will remember the instructions for taking it." Eunuch Lin stepped forward and held the box, nodded respectfully and stepped aside.
"Ah Feng." Shen Yuyu stepped forward and rubbed Ji Feng's little head, then squatted down in front of him and warned with a smile, "Take good care of your father, and don't forget to learn how to govern a country from your master, eh?"
,
"I understand, Sister Huang." Ah Feng's eyes were red, "Sister Huang, I must study hard and become a wise king like my father in the future, and I will be your solid backing."
"Okay, sister Huang is waiting for the day when you grow up." Shen Yuyu looked pleased.
After saying a few words to Ji Feng, Shen Yuyu turned his attention to Xiao Shen Hong aside.
After little Shen Hong caught up with his nutrition, he grew very fast. Now he is still practicing kung fu with Mr. Yang, and he finally looks like a normal child.
"Ah Hong, do you want to stay with Ah Feng or follow me back to Dasheng?" Shen Yuhu looked at him with a gentle smile.
Little Shen Hong was very hesitant. After much thought, he said, "I want to stay with Prince Afeng."
"Okay, then you will stay in Daqi, practice martial arts and study hard." Shen Yuyu patted the child on the shoulder.
After saying that, Shen Yuyu stood up, took the rope from the hand of secret guard Sun Da, smiled and waved to Emperor Jingyuan, Ji Feng and others.
"After seeing you for thousands of miles, we will see each other again. Father, Ah Feng, Ah Hong, please go back."
"Have a nice trip." Emperor Jingyuan said goodbye loudly, waving his hands to everyone.
"Father, take care of yourself. I will come back to visit you when the war is over." Shen Yuyu said, getting on his horse, holding back his tears, turning the horse's head, and galloped away in the direction of Lingzhou.
Kang'an City in Lingzhou, Chiyanying military camp in the east of the city.
Ji Xun, Wang Chang, Lin Yi and others are discussing the war.
"Prince Wei Yuande is personally supervising the battle. It seems that the war will only take place in the next day or two." Wang Chang said, "Wei Yuande has a hot temper and is not a person who can keep his temper."
As he spoke, he took out a sheepskin map, pointed at it and said, "Wuyin Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Wei Yuande will definitely use the navy to attack Dahe Town."
"Yes, he will definitely be like this." Ji Xun nodded, with a relaxed look on his handsome face, pointing at the map and said, "Let's deal with it like this, give him a 'dumpling', and let him have a good taste of winning the battle. taste."
Wang Changlang smiled and said, "Your Highness is right, and this is what my subordinates have in mind. Your Highness, please go back to the mansion first. The princess should be back in the next few days."
"Okay." Ji Xun smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, generals." After saying that, he stood up and took He Mang back home.
This battle is basically a small test for Ji Xun. Even without him, Wang Chang can handle it well.
And he and his wife have been separated for so long, and they look forward to their reunion every day.
"Your Highness, why are you going to the south of the city?" He Mang asked in confusion when he saw Ji Xun riding his horse to the south of the city.
"Let's go and see if the princess has returned." Ji Xun answered, clamping the horse's belly and riding the horse very fast.
However, when I arrived at the south of the city, I saw that there was no trace of my wife.
After waiting outside the city for a long time, seeing the sun setting in the west and the sky getting dark, He Mang said, "Your Highness, it's so late that the princess won't be able to arrive. Let's go back home first."
Ji Xun looked into the distance for a long time, finally nodded, and entered the city with He Mang.
"Girl Shen hasn't arrived yet?" Aunt Bai was also looking forward to the door of the house. When she saw Ji Xun, she rushed up to meet him and looked behind him. She was disappointed when she didn't see anyone.
"Well, I'll have to wait until tomorrow." Ji Xun said, and when he smelled the fragrant food, he praised it sincerely, "It smells so good. Auntie's cooking is getting better and better."
"This kid~~ is even more boastful than Ah Feng." Aunt Bai said with a smile on her face: "Hurry in and eat, don't let the food get cold." She said and welcomed Ji Xun and He Mang in.
There were not many maids in the huge mansion, and except for the reliable ones brought from the capital, there were no new ones.
With Bai Die's lesson learned, he no longer dared to bring strange women into the house.
After dinner, Ji Xun poured hot water, took off his clothes, and sat in the tub to take a bath.
Maybe it was because the water temperature was too comfortable, or maybe I was just too tired during this period, and I felt like I was about to fall asleep after soaking for a while.
At this moment, a burst of sweet fragrance suddenly hit him, and her soft little hands wrapped around his neck, biting his thin lips and acting sweetly.
