These days, although Yunshang repeatedly deciphered Qi Lang's moves, Kangyang City is still Qi Lang's territory after all, and she doesn't want to go to the army to interfere with Qi Lang until the right time comes. If one makes a mistake, I'm afraid that the foreshadowing I made before will be useless.
only…
Yun Chang looked at the black-clothed man kneeling at the forefront in a blink of an eye, and frowned slightly, "My princess remembers that you reported to this princess a few days ago that you were approaching the Xia Guo camp, and even sneaked into the camp." In the Xia army camp, why did no one report the Xia army's attack in advance?"
The man hurriedly said, "There is not much movement in the Xia army. My subordinates guess that the attack today may only be one of the elite troops of the Xia army, and the number should be no more than 5,000, or it may not be camped with the Xia army at all." It’s just that no matter what the possibility is, this team attacked at night and did not alarm our spies in the army. I’m afraid it’s not a large number, so they dare not really attack the city.”
Yun Shang pondered for a moment, and secretly agreed with his statement in her heart. In fact, not only the dark guards, but even the dark guards around her arranged many to go to Xia Jun to find out the news, but no one came to report Xia Jun's actions tonight .
Yun Chang nodded, and waved his hand to let them go down to explore again. All kinds of noise outside could be heard, and I'm afraid they won't be able to sleep tonight. Yunshang called Qianyin, waited for her to put on her clothes, lit up all the lights in the room, sat on the soft couch and closed her eyes, thinking of the Ningguo and the Map of Xia Kingdom.
There were knocks on the door outside, Yun Chang didn't open her eyes, Qian Yin didn't move either, after a while, she heard the footsteps of two people outside, one was a maid waiting in the outer hall, the other was a stranger of.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a voice coming in, "My lord, the Xia army is attacking, and the servant girl is the servant girl next to Mrs. Qi. Madam asked the servant girl to send a message to the empress, saying that there is some chaos outside, but fortunately, it should be nothing serious. Empress, don't panic."
"Understood, thank you madam for my princess." Yun Chang said softly, without opening her eyes.
There seemed to be a pause outside, and after a while, the sound of footsteps gradually going away was heard again.
Yun Chang slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, this Mrs. Qi must be not bad, she had only heard the news, and she already knew that this battle should not be a big deal, and she didn't want to live in seclusion as she imagined. I'm afraid he is a person with a clear heart.
"Princess, is it still early in the morning? Do you want to take a break?" Qianyin looked at Yunshang's sleepy look, thinking that she was always lethargic, so she said softly.
Yun Chang shook her head, "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight. Although it is only a small team, it is Liu Yinfeng's method. Liu Yinfeng knows Qi Lang well. I am afraid that today's night attack is not To frighten us."
When Qianyin heard this, she stopped persuading her and went out of the inner room to bring in a cup of tea and put it on the table.
Sure enough, not long after, the hidden guards rushed in, "Princess, the attacking team was about 4,000 people, and they attacked the Ningguo camp outside the North City Gate. More than 8,000 Ningguo soldiers were killed or injured. After the army's sneak attack was successful, they quickly withdrew their troops. It's just..."
The secret guard paused for a moment before continuing, "General Qi felt that this was a provocation by the Xia army. He killed 8,000 people in Ning with 4,000 people, but he still dared to leave like that. The general in the army said that he would personally lead the troops to pursue."
Yun Shang knocked on the lid of the teacup, frowned and sighed, "Qi Lang is really... conceited and reckless..."
"They set off?" Yun Shang asked softly.
The dark guard shook his head, "I just finished discussing with all the soldiers, and I'm counting troops."
Yun Chang nodded and stood up, "In that case, then Princess Ben will go there in person, prepare the horse."
The dark guard quickly responded and stepped back.
Hearing this, Qianyin hurriedly fetched the cloak, tied it up for Yunshang, and said softly, "It's almost winter, and the night is full of dews. The princess should put on the cloak."
Yun Shang said "hmm", "I'm afraid there are many people watching my whereabouts in this mansion, I have to climb over the wall and go out, it will be faster, you can stay in this mansion, if anyone asks, You say I'm asleep."
Qianyin frowned slightly, "Wangfei always doesn't carry Qianyin, and Qianyin won't hold her back."
Hearing this, Yunshang laughed slowly, "You, I'm not afraid that you will hold back, but I have more important things to tell you to do. Think about it, if the people in the Qi Mansion know that I am going to the army, they will definitely stop me I can definitely go if I want to go, but it will be very troublesome. If you are in the mansion and can help me hold back the people in the Qi mansion, if you are not here, who else will believe that I am in the mansion? I am afraid that today There will be a lot of people coming to visit at night, so you can't be careless."
Qianyin couldn't hold back Yunshang, so she answered aggrievedly and sighed, "Wangfei is used to making excuses."
After tidying up, Yunshang asked the dark guards to head towards the barracks outside the north city gate separately. She took only five people and hurried away on horseback.
When she arrived at the north city gate, Yun Chang didn't bother to let the guards open the city gate, but let the dark guards fly her out of the city gate, and within half an hour, she arrived outside the barracks outside the city gate.
Perhaps because of the sneak attack just now, the camp was still a little chaotic and full of voices.
"Who is coming, the barracks is an important place, outsiders are not allowed to enter." Two long spears were placed in front of Yunshang, and a lot of soldiers gathered at the door, staring at Yunshang, but their eyes were a little bit surprised.
Yun Chang didn't open his mouth, and the dark guards on the side opened their spears with their swords. When those soldiers were about to attack, they took out the tokens of the dark guards, "The dark guards are here."
Although those soldiers had never actually seen the tokens of the Dark Guards, they also knew the famous name of the Dark Guards. Their eyes were somewhat solemn, and they frowned slightly as they fell on Yun Shang.
"This is Concubine Jing, who is also the Lord Superviser appointed by the emperor. The Lord Superviser is going to enter the camp to discuss military affairs with General Qi, so hurry up and get out of the way!" The dark guard beside Yunshang said coldly, He stared intently at the soldiers blocking the way in front of him.
The soldier was only stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Please forgive me, Mr. Superintendent, the camp has never allowed outsiders to enter, please allow the younger one to report to the general first..."
Yunshang nodded, "Go, then I'll wait here." Although it was only a few words, Yunshang brought the cold temperament she learned from King Jing to the extreme, making the guard The soldiers at the door couldn't help but take a few extra glances.
After a long while, Yunshang saw Qi Lang walking over with a cold face, the moment he saw Yunshang, a flash of impatience flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up, and walked quickly to Yunshang There was a salute in front of him, "The last general didn't know that the concubine came here, and he never greeted him from afar, and I hope that the concubine will forgive her sin."
Yun Shang curled the corners of her mouth coldly, "General Qi is very polite, but General Qi seems to have forgotten the imperial decree issued when I first arrived in Kangyang City. General Qi never told me about such an important matter, could it be that General Qi wants...to resist the edict?"
Qi Lang's complexion became more and more bad, and he quickly knelt down on the ground, "The general dare not, but it happened suddenly, and I didn't have time to tell the adults, so I apologized to the adults."
Yun Chang's eyes just warmed up a little bit. Fortunately, she finally admitted that she is the supervisor of the army, not just Princess Jing.
"General Qi is busy with military affairs, so I understand that, so I came by myself, but General Qi wants to talk to me at the gate of this barracks?" Yun Chang put her hands behind her back, her gaze quietly fell on Qi Lang.
Qi Lang quickly stood up, "My lord, please."
Yun Chang was brought by Qi Lang to the big camp where the matter was discussed. There were many men in military uniforms sitting in the camp. Judging by the style of the armor, they should be generals of high rank. As soon as he saw Yunshang stepping into the tent, he kept staring at Yunshang.
Qi Lang led Yunshang to sit under the main seat, and the guards stood on Yunshang twice. Qi Lang glanced at the five men in black behind Yunshang, frowned slightly, and then turned towards Those generals said, "This is Concubine Jing, who is also the emperor's royal supervisor."
Those generals looked at each other when they heard the words, and after a long while, they knelt down, "The last general has seen Mr. Supervising Army."
Yun Chang smiled slightly, "You don't need to be polite, all the generals, get up. I just heard that Xia Jun sent 4,000 people to attack the barracks, so I came here to have a look. Have you thought of a way to fight the enemy?"
Everyone looked at each other for a long time, but no one spoke. Yun Chang was not in a hurry, and waited quietly. After a long while, he heard a man come out and say, "Xia Jun is so shameless, even though he only sent a Four thousand people came to sneak attack, but they also killed eight thousand of our soldiers. This incident will definitely affect the morale of the army, so General Qi is going to fight in person, and lead our elite troops to pursue the attack..."
"Hehehe..." Yunshang had heard that the dark guard reported Qi Lang's thoughts a long time ago, but now that she heard that it was true, she couldn't help laughing out, "General Qi, it seems that Liu Yinfeng is really There are no omissions, I can feel your temperament clearly, believe it or not, if you personally lead the troops to pursue at this time, I am afraid that you will soon be surrounded by Liu Yinfeng. At that time, if General Qi Come back with no life, tell me, did Xia Jun win this battle?"
Qi Lang's complexion was a little dark, and he said after a while, "My lord, why do you want others to destroy your own prestige, since the general has made a plan to pursue him, he is fully prepared, and he is sure that he can come back."
Yun Chang smiled coldly, "Grow other people's ambitions. At the reception banquet, someone asked why Xia Jun had never really attacked for so long. I'm afraid General Qi thought it was because they were afraid of you. Now , do you still think they are afraid of you? They just know that you are so arrogant and want you to relax your vigilance. I said that day, but you are still stubborn. The defense in this camp is still getting looser day by day , That's why Xia Jun has an opportunity to take advantage of."
Seeing that Qi Lang's face became more and more embarrassed, Yun Shang didn't stop, "Completely prepared? Xia Jun's night attack made you unable to guard against it, which is why you suffered such heavy losses. If you were fully prepared, it would not have caused such a disaster." As a result, you must have planted a lot of spies in the Xia army, why you still haven't been able to guard against what happened today, do you think you can come back alive?"
Qi Lang stopped talking, but there was a bit of dissatisfaction in his eyes. Yun Chang snorted coldly, staring straight at Qi Lang, "Why, General Qi is not convinced?"
Qi Lang gritted his teeth, "The last general dare not."
Yun Shang laughed when she heard the words, "I dare not, it's not that I didn't. Since General Qi doesn't believe in this evil, how about I make a bet with General Qi today?"
Qi Lang stared at Yunshang, "How do you gamble, sir?"
Yun Chang's eyes swept across the faces of everyone in the camp, "It's simple, the dark guards in my hands are not inferior in terms of skill or wisdom, so I let three of them disguise themselves as General Qi and other soldiers." Look at the appearance of the two generals, lead the elite troops prepared by General Qi to pursue them, and then see if they will encounter an ambush, and how many ambushes."
Qi Lang was silent for a while, but he nodded, "Okay, the general is willing to bet with your lord."
Yun Chang nodded, and ordered the hidden guard to prepare. After a while, when the dark guard reappeared, he had already changed his face, and his appearance was no different from Qi Lang's. Qi Lang's eyes flashed a bit of surprise, but There was also a bit of danger, Yun Chang didn't care at all, and ordered the hidden guard, "Try to save your life."
The dark guard nodded, and followed the route Qi Lang ordered.
Yunshang sat on the main seat, watching the dark guards leave the camp lightly, and a man in uniform said, "If there is really an ambush, then these elite soldiers...go to die?"
Yun Shang looked at him amusedly, "Didn't General Qi just say that? He is fully prepared."
The man didn't speak again, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes, Yun Chang silently remembered it in his heart, thinking in his heart, a general who can care about the life and death of soldiers should be a good general.
Yun Shang stood up, "Some things are more effective when you see and hear them with your own eyes, let's go, let's not disturb the others in the camp, let's follow up quietly and have a look, just to trouble General Qi and the other two who were just pretending to be secret guards." The general dresses up a little."
Everyone was used to going in and out of the battlefield, and they also had this intention in their hearts, so they agreed, stood up and quietly left the camp with Yunshang.
"My lord is a body of a thousand pieces of gold, it's good to guard it in the camp. If something happens, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain it in the end." Qi Lang frowned, with disapproval in his eyes.
Yun Chang got on the horse and smiled coldly, "Since we're already on the battlefield, I didn't even think about shrinking behind you and being protected by you. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Yun Chang raised his whip and gave a light drink, "Drive."
The horse jumped out, and because they were following secretly, the group of them only brought less than a thousand elite soldiers. Yun Shang secretly brought all the guards with him, but he didn't want Qi Lang to see them, so he let them hide Whereabouts, quietly follow.
Fortunately, there was night cover, and there were many mountains and forests around Kangyang City, so it was not that difficult to follow quietly. The hidden guards pretending to be Qi Lang followed the trail of the Xia army who attacked at night with elite soldiers. After chasing him, he had already walked nearly twenty miles away from the camp, but he didn't see Xia Jun, nor did he encounter any ambushes.
Qi Lang sneered, seemingly mockingly, but Yun Shang was not angry, but asked softly, "How long has Xia Jun left the camp when the elite soldiers started chasing them?"
Someone responded, "About an hour."
Yun Chang nodded, "Xia Jun is used to marching in the mountains and forests, and he can walk about ten miles in an hour, but I just checked the horse feces left by Xia Jun. About three or four miles ahead of us, General Qi, what do you think is the reason? If the person who pursued us is a general and finds out about this, what will happen?"
Qi Lang laughed loudly, "I think it's because Xia Jun marched fast all the way just now, and it took a lot of energy to sneak attack, so it's naturally slower now. If you want to pursue, you have to speed up your pace."
Yun Chang's eyes fell on Qi Lang, with a bit of deep meaning, "Liu Yinfeng's trick to lure the enemy deep is also very good."
Hearing this, Qi Lang knew that she was talking about himself again, so he snorted coldly, with a bit of displeasure, but heard Yun Shang's voice with a bit of worry, "If I remember correctly, in front, there is a In the canyon."
There is a bit of surprise on everyone's face. There is indeed a canyon ahead, but the canyon is not too deep and not long, and it is hidden on the map. If you don't pay attention, it will be very difficult. unseen. Unexpectedly, she actually knew.
"That canyon is short and not deep. It won't be of much use against an army of hundreds of millions, but if it's only a few thousand people, it's excellent. Moreover, the canyon is covered with dense forests. It is more convenient to hide. If I were Liu Yinfeng, I would definitely choose this place to ambush. I just need to hide above the canyon first. After the elite soldiers who pursue have entered the canyon, guard the front and rear entrances of the canyon, and then use rolling stones to hide. Attack..." Yun Chang's voice was faint, but the generals behind him were all shocked, and there was a bit of worry on their faces.
Qi Lang frowned. He has been in Kangyang City all year round. He knows that canyon, but just as Yunshang said, the canyon is short and not deep. The canyon was useless, so he never cared about it. In this situation, the canyon is fatal.
The elite soldiers in front were already slowly entering the canyon. Yunshang took out a small flute and blew it on her mouth, but she didn't hear any sound.
"This flute doesn't sound..." someone said.
Yun Shang smiled, and put the flute in her sleeve, "This is a message to the secret guards. No one can hear it except the secret guards. I am warning the secret guards who have disguised themselves as General Qi. Let them be careful."
Yun Shang brought Qi Lang and a group of generals into the canyon instead of following the elite soldiers, but climbed to the mountain above the canyon, found a corner that was not easy to be found and hid, but just after hiding, he saw the dense forest There is a faint figure shaking in the middle.
The generals behind him all held their breaths, looking at those figures with murderous intent in their eyes.
"Kill!..." Suddenly, there was a sound of shouting and killing in the dense forest, and in the distance, as if from the top of the opposite mountain, there was also a sound of shouting and killing...
