"Tell me quickly, how did Princess Yili defeat Qin Zhou?" Zi'an asked hurriedly. Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. Qin Zhou is so powerful, it would be better to do more research on her.
"The envoy from Northern Desert went to Southern Liang. At the state banquet, Princess Yili beat her in riding skills. In terms of military affairs, Qin Zhou deliberately made things difficult for her, but Princess Yili was able to defeat her one by one."
Zi'an couldn't help but feel disappointed. "That's just empty talk, right? It's just talk, but it may not be the case on the battlefield."
"But Qin Zhou is afraid. She is a famous general, but she is afraid of the military strategy of a royal princess. If it is just empty talk, will she be afraid?" King Liang said.
"Is there any information on this?" Zi'an felt that what he said made sense.
"Yes, there is, but we need to find it. What are you doing here?"
"Study it."
"Okay, I'll have someone bring it to the palace and give it to you," said King Liang.
The next day, King Liang ordered someone to bring the information to Zi'an. In fact, there was not much information because Princess Yili and Qin Zhou did not fight much, but what happened at the state banquet was spread.
Zi'an studied the examples of the two of them talking about military strategy on paper, and couldn't help but feel that Princess Yili was truly amazing, and even when it came to deploying troops, she wasn't too bad.
No wonder Qin Zhou was afraid.
Although it was just a theory, Zi'an could see Qin Zhou's general combat mode. She was very aggressive, and it was impossible to defeat them by force, because the enemy was strong and powerful, and the difference in strength was huge. However, Qin Zhou was afraid of tactics and guerrilla warfare. She was crushed by a large army, and guerrilla warfare was not good.
She looked for more information to study Qin Zhou's combat mode and found that it was true.
She wrote a letter to Murong Jie and asked the people at the post station to deliver it immediately.
However, after sending it, she suddenly remembered what Murong Jie said before he went to the battle, that Lord Xiao and the twelve generals of the Chen family should be made into lice, which should also be a guerrilla warfare.
Zi'an couldn't help but laugh. Alas, she was worried about him and kept doing useless things. Just as Zhuangzhuang said, he was already a veteran, how could he not find out the enemy's combat strategy first
But I'm really worried. It's so hard to get through the quiet days.
North Bridge Barracks.
It has been more than half a month since the army set out.
Both sides were keeping their troops in place and defending the Beiqiao front because Beiqiao Town had a combat advantage. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides. There was only one way to attack Beiqiao, and that was the official road in the northwest. The official road was sandwiched between high mountains. The Great Zhou army had already occupied the mountains on both sides. If the Qinzhou troops moved forward, they would enter an ambush zone.
Of course, Qin Zhou would not attack rashly, she would definitely find a way to avoid the official road.
Xiao Tuo, Su Qing and Murong Jie were in the tent, discussing strategy, when they saw Ni Rong open the tent and come in, "A private message from the capital!"
Letters from the capital are divided into official letters and private letters. Official letters are naturally sent by the court to inquire about the war situation. As for private letters, they are letters from the general's family members and are family letters.
"Another letter? Are you annoying?" Xiao Tuo had an impatient look on his face, but there was a light in his eyes. Since they set up camp in Beiqiao, Liu Liu had been sending him a letter a day.
He reached out his hand, trying to snatch the heart from Ni Rong's hand, but Ni Rong dodged it skillfully, "Don't bother me, it's not yours."
Xiao Tuo was stunned. "If it's not mine? Whose is it? Who else would write to me?"
Ni Rong handed it to Murong Jie, "This is written by the princess to the marshal."
"Ah? The princess can write letters? Can she read?" Xiao Tuo curled his lips and said sourly: "Then I don't have any? There was none yesterday. Where was Chen Liuliu? Why didn't she write to me?"
"Didn't you say you were annoyed just now?" Su Qing teased.
Murong Jie opened the letter, and Xiao Tuo leaned over and asked, "What's in it?"
Murong Jie pushed his head open and said, "Go away. Do you think you can read other people's private conversations?"
"What boudoir secrets? Are you two the only ones who have this thing?" Xiao Tuo sat aside angrily and glanced at Ni Rong, "Did you hide my letter?"
"Yes, we have hidden a lot of them, and we have passed them all on to the soldiers. They are so beautiful." Ni Rong said jokingly.
Xiao Tuo snorted, "I knew that girl had so much fun that she didn't even remember me."
"Okay, on the battlefield, you only know about love, isn't that reasonable?" Su Qing couldn't help but shook her head, "So, it's better for men not to get married. Once a girl falls in love, she will definitely lose her courage."
Xiao Tuo held his chin up, "That's true. Otherwise, let's go back and get a divorce."
Su Qing cried out, "Oh my goodness, my ancestors, please don't, if you go back and get a divorce, the old lady will tear my head off, right?"
Ni Rong didn't care about the two of them. He had been very nervous for the past half month and it was rare for him to find some topics to relax.
"Your Highness, what did the princess say?" Ni Rong didn't think that the princess wrote to him specifically to share some private conversations.
Murong Jie took the letter and said with a smile: "He didn't say anything, just said how much he missed me."
"I don't believe it!" The three of them shook their heads in unison. This couple was different from others. At least, they couldn't imagine the princess talking in the letter about how much she missed her husband who was away at the war.
Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.
Murong Jie glanced at them calmly and said, "Zi'an wrote to say that Qin Zhou is not good at guerrilla warfare."
"How does she know?" Su Qing asked curiously.
"She studied Qin Zhou's combat strategy and discovered this, so she wrote to inform me." Murong Jie felt warm in his heart, thinking proudly that he was not fighting alone.
"The princess is truly omnipotent. From now on, I'll call her Wanneng'an." Su Qing said with a smile.
"I don't believe it. How could the princess know how to fight a war?" Xiao Tuo always felt that Murong Jie had made it up. How could a woman know so much
"Read it yourself." Murong Jie took out the letter and handed it to Xiao Tuo.
Xiao Tuo took it and took a look at it. "It's true. This princess may be patient."
However, he immediately looked up at Murong Jie and said pitifully, "Why is there not a single personal message in this letter? Not even a word that I miss you."
"Get out of the way!" Murong Jie snatched the letter and pushed Xiao Tuo away.
Xiao Tuo covered his mouth and laughed secretly, "What husband and wife? They are just colleagues, right?"
"Xiao Tuo," Murong Jie ordered solemnly, "You must take your men out to investigate immediately. You are not allowed to come back before sunset."
This is a typical case of excessive joy leading to sorrow.
Su Qing grinned, with his mouth pulled behind his ears.
After the three men left, Murong Jie took out Zi'an's letter and studied it carefully. He had indeed planned to fight a guerrilla war before, but when he saw the enemy's large army crushing over, he wanted to revise the plan. He thought about fighting back with all his strength after the meeting, but Zi'an's letter calmed him down.
They cannot launch an all-out attack because the chances of winning are slim. Even if they can barely win, there will be heavy casualties. The Great Zhou still has to spare troops to deal with the Xianbei, so they cannot fight a desperate battle with Qin Zhou.
"Wan Neng'an, it's a good thing you reminded me, otherwise I would have lost my patience." Murong Jie put away the letter and said softly.
After thinking for a while, he ordered Ni Rong to prepare the four treasures of the study as he wanted to reply to the letter.
I have been thinking for a long time and have a lot to say, but I am not used to writing it down, but I can't say it in person either.
Finally, I had to bite the bullet and write two words, "Take care!"
