"My lord, I've said everything I need to say, please forgive me and let my family go."
The eunuch knelt on the ground and kowtowed, Mo Jinyao got up and left, the guard brought a glass of wine, the eunuch drank it with tears in his eyes, and there was no more eunuch of Dongdu in this world ever since.
"My lord, do you believe what he said?"
"what?"
"The troops from Nanling came by water."
"... Go check it out and send troops to guard it."
"Yes, my lord."
There is indeed a river at the junction of Tiansheng and Nanling. From there, you can reach the Eastern Capital City. As long as you hide well, you can enter the Eastern Capital City without anyone noticing. In the past, Nanling would never do this, but It's different now, Mo Jinyao has become a sinner, Mo Wenli joined hands with Nanling, the prefect is Mo Wenli's man, of course he listened to Mo Wenli, so the people of Nanling have an opportunity.
Mo Jinyao couldn't help grinding his teeth. At the beginning, they would never dare to be so presumptuous. As long as they entered the territory of Tiansheng, they would be made dumplings. But now everything has changed. Mo Wenli, you really beat me With a good hand, once Nanling's army entered Tiansheng's territory, would they still be willing to leave
"My lord, I'm down!" Mo Jinyao came late every year when he left the dungeon, and he had already changed into a suit of clothes, looking very refreshed.
"Well, it's time to go back."
"..." After years of development, I realized that I was late, touched my nose, and followed behind Mo Jinyao.
"If you have nothing to do, go and investigate the household registration of the people in the city, and go to see the people."
"Understood, my lord." Lian Nian said sullenly, she didn't like these things the most, but the lord refused to let Fang Ye do it, but let him do it, alas.
When Mo Jinyao went back, he didn't ride a horse, but wandered around the street, looking very comfortable. The people saw the prince again, and just as he was about to kneel down to salute, Mo Jinyao raised his hand to stop him.
Everyone instantly understood, does the prince want to wander the streets and understand the people's sentiments
The man looked aimless, but he was actually looking for something. Suddenly, his eyes fixed on one place, where there was a jewelry stand just opened, and a young man was selling it.
Seeing Mo Jinyao approaching, the young man became very cautious, almost screaming in his heart, the prince walked towards him, the prince actually walked towards him!
Mo Jinyao approached and picked up a step shaker, and looked at it carefully for a long time, a smile seemed to flash in his eyes.
"How much is it?"
"My lord, I don't need any money, I'll give it to you." The young man smiled shyly and rubbed his fingers, looking very cute.
"Ye Po, pay." After speaking, Mo Jinyao walked away with the step, and Ye Po behind him took out the money.
Everyone looked at the prince like this and respected him from the bottom of their hearts. The prince is the proud son of heaven. Even if the street is full of the prince's arrest warrants, they don't feel that the prince will do such a thing. Everyone bowed their heads in shame and slipped away from the crowd.
But the young man's focus is different. Bu Yao is something for girls. Could it be that the prince bought it... for girls
I was shocked by my own thoughts, I heard that Princess Chen is a rich woman, would the prince buy it for her? Or does the prince have a favorite girl
Mo Jinyao didn't know what other people thought. With Bu Yao in his hand, he quickly returned to Zhuangzi, returned to his room, and took out a small box, which contained all kinds of accessories, all for girls. thing.
"Little girl, I will give you all these when I see you."
Mo Jinyao smiled extraordinarily gently, and put the small box away again as if it were a treasure, like a child hiding his cherished toy, very cute.
"My lord, it's not good, the prefect's wife... committed suicide."
Mo Jinyao opened the door and looked at the panic-stricken guards.
"Walk."
When he arrived at the prefect's mansion, the prefect's wife, who had been living well, had bruised lips and was lifeless. His children were crying beside him.
"It's all your fault! You're a bad guy!" One of the older children looked at Mo Jinyao, hatred flashed in his eyes, and he rushed towards him.
Just as everyone wanted to step forward to restrain him, Mo Jinyao raised his hand to stop him. Looking at the hateful boy in front of him, he saw himself inexplicably.
Without much effort, just a light slap, and the boy sat down on the ground.
"You want to kill me even if you don't even have hair?"
"Sooner or later, I will kill you!"
"Okay, I'm waiting, but what did your father do, you know in your heart, today I will let you go, if you dare to kill me in the future, I will not show mercy, come here , and throw them out of town!"
"My lord!"
Mo Jinyao glanced over, and the man completely shut up.
"You wait!"
Only when these people were sent out of the city did anyone worry about it.
"Isn't the prince letting the tiger go back to the mountain like this? If something really happens in the future..."
"This king knows it well."
Mo Jinyao doesn't care about letting the tiger go back to the mountain at all. He has seen such people a lot, and they are clamoring for joy, but in fact they don't know anything. And even if he has this ability in the future, will Mo Jinyao be afraid
outside the city
"Poor children, why are you here?" A man in a black robe looked at a boy and a girl in front of him, and he was overjoyed. Isn't this the prefect's child? I really didn't expect Mo Jinyao to let them out, God helped him.
"Who are you?"
"I'm someone who can help you, follow me, and I'll help you get revenge in a few years, okay?"
"How do you know we want revenge?" The boy protected his sister behind with a vigilant expression on his face.
"Because I'm a wizard, of course I came to look for your child because I calculated that you would be here. Come with me."
The younger sister behind him tugged at the hem of his clothes, and the boy said cruelly,
"...Okay, I'll follow you, but you can't touch my sister."
"Okay, I promise you..." The man smiled very gently and treacherously.
…
Hanling Pass.
Qin Sheng had already taken those generals to work on the defense reinforcement of Hanling Pass. As for Ji Xiaoyao, Yun Ziyue simply ignored him. She didn't see each other for several days and stayed with her brother all the time. In the yard, it almost became a pendant.
Qin Xiang was really not interested in those ghostly symbols that Yun Ziyue had been sitting in the study, and suddenly thought of the people in Hanling Pass. Although some of them can't fight, they are still good as logistics , This can also reduce a lot of pressure on the army.
Yun Ziyue looked at Qin Xiang with a smile in her eyes, this little girl has a lot of ideas, such ideas are very good, it can mobilize the people in the city, make full use of their resources, and let this little girl go out Relax and be happy.
Yun Ziyue sat in the study room of the General's Mansion, looking at a large map in front of her, on which were the various checkpoint passages and defense maps of the entire Hanling Pass.
Yun Ziyue never felt that she really had any special talent in arranging troops, but as the only girl in the ancient martial arts family in her previous life, she learned a lot, and these things can still be seen I understand, but now whether there is a need to guard Hanling Pass is another matter. They guard Hanling Pass for the sake of the people of Tiansheng, but at the same time, it also gives Mo Wenli capital. If Hanling Pass and Nanling are not breached, Mo Wenli will still cooperate with them, but if Hanling Pass is breached, the relationship between Mo Wenli and the two countries will deteriorate.
But now, she still doesn't fully understand the depth of the great witch of Beidi. If the great witch has some tricks that she can't crack, they will pay the bill, not Mo Wenli in the capital.
Even if Yun Ziyue didn't learn anything else, she learned to judge the situation and know what kind of situation is beneficial to her.
But this city wall that has stood for hundreds of years is about to suffer. Neither the Longxiang Army nor them have the obligation to protect Mo Wenli here. As for the people...
"I've seen the princess." Qin Sheng and Ji Xiaoyao walked in from the outside, and when they saw Yun Ziyue, they clasped their fists and saluted.
"Have the two generals finished?"
"Back to the princess, according to the instructions of the princess, we repaired the city wall again, it looks like it has been repaired." Qin Sheng said, but he didn't understand what the princess meant, why it was just a show .
"Like it has been repaired?" Ji Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows with doubts on his face.
"Yes, my concubine asked the two generals a question. The two generals have been fighting for almost a month. Have they repelled Beidi's enemies?"
Both of them were silent, yes, it had been more than a month, and they still hadn't repelled the Beidi people, and sometimes they could only be forced to defend the city.
"What does the princess mean?"
"Let's take a look at this." Yun Ziyue pointed to the map on the table and the defense map, and motioned for the two of them to come and take a look.
The two people stepped forward for no reason, and looked at the map on the table, only to find that it was not the map just now, but another map that had been processed. Mausoleum Pass is also included.
It also includes Suixue Pass and parts of southern Xinjiang. Most importantly, this map is obviously newly drawn, and it looks more detailed than their map.
The two looked at it very seriously for a long time, and there was a look of admiration in their eyes. This map was drawn in their hearts, and almost every part was very detailed. Looking at it this way seemed to be looking at the whole The land in the north is average and very clear.
"Princess, did you draw this?"
Yun Ziyue took a very thin brush, and said, "I asked Luoxing and the others to investigate and sort out this picture a few days ago. Although this concubine trusts them, the general should be more familiar with the defense here. This concubine wants the general to see if there are any mistakes in these places."
This time Qin Sheng looked at it for a long time, and finally pointed to the place on the map where the mountains were drawn, and said, "Princess, here, the distance between the two mountains is narrower than the one above, this is not three miles, It's about two li, and as for the rest, Wang Hao painted very well."
Yun Ziyue looked at that spot, picked up a pen and dipped some ink, and changed a few more strokes according to Qin Sheng's statement. Qin Sheng just wanted to applaud. Is Wang Hao an all-around talent? How can everything
Leaving aside the sorcerer's technique, such a detailed topographical map may not be able to be drawn even if you walk through it yourself, right? What's more, it's unbelievable that Wang Hao can draw such detailed drawings just by walking around the city and listening to others.
This map is much clearer than theirs, and every place is properly marked. As a general, Qin Sheng certainly knows that apart from the superiority in numbers, the level of martial arts, and strategy and tactics, the rest is where he is. Otherwise, how could there be so many dangerous positions on this continent.
Moreover, this map of the princess almost covered hundreds of miles of city passes including Hanling Pass.
"Princess, with this map, we can get twice the result with half the effort," Qin Sheng was very pleasantly surprised.
"What does the general think?"
When Qin Sheng saw the concubine asking him, he didn't know how to answer for a moment. Not only did they not do anything for a month, but they made their soldiers suffer a lot.
Although these were not their original intentions, and the living dead outside the city were not something they could handle on a whim, and they knew how much they had paid in the past, but today is different, and now they are different from before.
"In the icy and snowy north, the Longxiang Army has only 20,000 soldiers, and the rest are ordinary soldiers. Their combat effectiveness cannot match that of the Longxiang Army. And Beidi lives in extremely cold places all year round, so it has an advantage over us in such weather." Qin Sheng frowned, looking very agitated at the mountains and cities on the map.
It would be fine if there were more soldiers in Jiangnan or the Longxiang Army, but unfortunately the reality is not like this now.
The Longxiang Army was originally established to deal with Nanling, and was later sent partly to deal with Beidi, but they did not have much contact with Beidi, and this battle was not so easy to fight.
"Princess, why don't we sneak attack."
Ji Xiaoyao, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. Qin Sheng glanced at him and agreed with his words.
"Sneak attack? Tell me." Yun Ziyue clicked on the map twice and asked Ji Xiaoyao.
"We are all huddled in the city these days, and Beidi will never think that they will engage in sneak attacks."
Because the style of the Longxiang Army is very neat on weekdays, there is no such thing as a sneak attack.
"But who and how many people should we send to sneak attack?" Yun Ziyue asked another question.
"This... This subordinate intends to send the Dragon Army to go, and the rest will be stationed in the city. As for how many people to send..."
Ji Xiaoyao thought for a while and said, "Since it's a sneak attack, there shouldn't be too much movement, and there shouldn't be too many people, just three thousand."
Yun Ziyue nodded, "What did General Qin say?"
"The subordinates think it is feasible. Three thousand dragons will attack Beidi's left flank. The defense there should be the weakest."
Qin Sheng gave suggestions based on his own observations.
Yun Ziyue pointed to the map.
