It was four days later when the second prince received the battle report from Ganzhou.
Surprisingly, the person who wrote the report was not the Ganzhou Army itself, but the commander of the Leizhou Army, He Shifeng.
After reading the letter, he felt his forehead throbbing.
Ganzhou's fifteen thousand troops were attacked by the Jinxia Army. Not only were they severely defeated, but not many people even escaped.
In other words, few people can explain clearly how the enemy fought and how they were defeated.
This is why the report had to be written by Leizhou Jun.
The Ganzhou garrison has completely lost its combat capability. Luo Bairen was killed in the battle. The whereabouts of all the generals are unknown. It can be said that the entire army has ceased to exist.
Since the Leizhou Army only has 3,000 men, most of whom are old, weak, sick and disabled, it is impossible to intimidate the Shenzhou area from the west.
Before the imperial court could take action, Ning Wanjun slapped her hard, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face for Ning Qianshi.
To say how great the loss of more than 10,000 people was, it was nothing to the entire Daqi territory.
But to say that you don't take it seriously at all is to deceive yourself and others.
As the reserve force of the Leizhou Frontier Army, Ganzhou has always been relatively well-trained, and its military combat capabilities cannot be said to be top-notch, but at least average. What's more, it can also play a strategic role in containing Jinxia's energy. Now that it is gone, it is really hard for the Privy Council to accept.
At the end of the letter, it was also mentioned that there were alchemists who survived Wangshandu, and now they have also been sent to the frontline camp and handed over to the general government.
"Bring these people in." Ning Qianshi suppressed the indignation in his heart, put down the report and ordered.
"Yes!" His subordinates quickly dragged two tied up alchemists and threw them in front of the second prince.
As soon as he saw this posture, he understood completely that the survival of these two people was not due to luck, but because they became deserters.
"Tell me about the situation at that time." Ning Qianshi asked coldly.
…
After listening patiently to the statement, the second prince almost wanted to drag these two people down and chop them down immediately.
After a battle, they only knew that the Jinxia Army relied on ice to cross the river, the machine beast led the charge, and the dragon and the listener fell from the sky. After Luo Aoying was beheaded by Luo Qingqing, the two of them just ran away and took the path back to Yecheng before stopping. As for why the two armies were completely wiped out, and there were not even a few defeated soldiers left, neither of them knew.
It is not surprising that the Ganzhou Army was defeated. According to this statement, Ning Wanjun not only personally participated in this battle, but also used many high-level alchemists. It is normal for the front line to be unable to withstand it. The only thing he couldn't understand was that if they lost, they would lose. How could they be defeated so completely that there were not even a few defeated generals left.
Theoretically, most of the army soldiers are locals from Ganzhou. There is no reason to be wiped out by outsiders on their own territory, right
"Your Highness, Your Highness... It's not good." At this moment, He'er suddenly ran out of the inner room, and when he saw the alchemist kneeling on the ground, he suddenly covered his mouth.
"Take them down and imprison them first." Ning Qianshi hesitated for a long time, but in the end he was unable to kill the two of them. After all, they were both Qi sensers, and their power to kill a Privy Council member would be weaker.
"As commanded."
After the guards dragged the person away, the second prince turned to look at He'er, "What happened?"
"I just used the chess game to calculate that the Ganzhou Army's plan has considerable risks - if the factors of the living dead surrendering to the three princesses are taken into consideration, the Lichuan River will no longer be a natural barrier." She said seriously, "If Jinxia is determined If we take the initiative to attack them, both crossing points may be lost. Uh... Your Highness?"
Ning Qianshi came back to her senses and smiled a little stiffly, "Thank you."
He'er also seemed to realize something, "Has something... already happened?"
"Yes." He nodded, "But it's not your problem." After all, the layout and plans of the Ganzhou Army were only recently handed over to him. By the time He'er had time to calculate these situations, Jinxia's side would have already Action has already been launched.
The deduction of the world chess game is not a one-shot deal. As the intelligence increases and the situation between the enemy and ourselves changes, the deduction of this technique will gradually approach the real result.
"Your Highness..." He'er hesitated to speak.
"Let me see her." After a moment of silence, Ning Qianshi suddenly whispered.
The little girl slowly lowered her eyes and grabbed the corners of her clothes with both hands, "I... know."
After a moment, light seemed to glow from behind He'er. When she spoke again, her voice had become ethereal and graceful, "Your Highness Ning—"
"Just call me by my name." Although Ning Qianshi stared at He'er, his focus fell further away.
"Qianshi." Her tone seemed a little helpless, but she finally responded to his request, "This is not good. I am the person who should leave. Even if I live like this, it is just a trace of my soul. I understand you Thoughts, but continuing like this is not the answer. It would be better for the Privy Council Office to elect a new Tianshu Envoy as soon as possible."
"What's the difference between that and killing you?" Ning Qianshi shook his head, "I don't want to hear this."
"This is not to kill me, but to truly free me." The light gradually condensed into a human figure. Although the face could not be seen, the gentle and charming appearance of the Tianshu Angel could be pieced together from the long flowing hair and the pleasant voice. The light surged forward, as if putting a hand on the second prince's cheek, "You are looking for me at this time, it must be that the Privy Council has encountered some difficult problem, right? In this case, it is even more important to take away my power. and experience. A Tianshu Envoy with a complete inheritance will definitely be able to lead the Privy Council out of the predicament."
Ning Qianshi clenched her fists and trembled slightly, "If I could have reacted at that time..."
"Are you thinking about what happened that day at Wanjinglou again? It's useless, that was Hagoromo's fatal blow, and only I can block it." She paused, "Listen to Qianse, it's impossible to turn back time. Instead of Rather than regretting the past, it is better to look to the future - you can't change what has happened, but you have the opportunity to reverse the changes that have not happened yet. Don't forget the goal we are striving for. As long as it can be achieved, I will be satisfied."
Her voice got farther and farther away, until she couldn't hear it.
The light disappeared, and He'er collapsed, his face covered in sweat, and his chest heaved violently with the sound of breathing.
It was obvious that what she had just done had placed a great burden on her, and she had tried her best to be able to hold on for so long.
"I'm sorry." Ning Qianshi picked her up, turned around and put her on the couch beside her, "You have a good rest. I won't ask you like this next time."
"No... Your Highness," He'er raised his head, "This is what I am willing to do. Are you... feeling better now?"
"Thanks to you... it's much better," Ning Qianshi sighed softly, "Thank you." After that, he turned and left the room.
…
Half a quarter of an hour later, the second prince entered a mansion and glanced at the core members sitting quietly in the lobby.
Qian, Baizhan, Weihuang, Duyelong... Except for Feinian, the backbone of the Gyeonggi Privy Council have all rushed to Huiyang City in Liuzhou. In addition, Fengguo and Qiguo also sent a Qingjian to support, and the people in the hall represented the strongest force that the Privy Council Office could gather.
