The rain stopped, and a rainbow across the sky in the blue sky, like a colorful bridge. The white clouds floated slowly, and the sun slowly pushed aside the barrier, slowly revealing its smile, the gentle sunlight shining on the whole earth.
Du Zheng stood in the yard, looking at the rising sun, and couldn't help saying: "Finally the sun is out." It was raining for seven days, and he was about to get angry.
Yun Qing said: "The sun is out, and we must do business." If you delay for a day, you will lose another day, not to mention the delay for seven days.
At noon that day, Yun Qing led his troops to attack Changshui. However, Changshui’s defense was strong, and Mu Boxi personally went to the battle to kill the enemy. In half a day, Yun Qing lost more than 5,000 troops.
In the evening, Du Zheng wore a suit of armor and entered the coach’s camp, and said to Yun Qing, “Master, this Mu Boyi is a personal character.” Since the dispatch of troops to the present, this battle has been the hardest to fight. But this aroused the passion in Du Zheng's bones. If they were all cowards who were afraid of death, this battle would be boring.
Yun Qing said: "Mu Boyi and Yu Baojia are brother-in-law." Mu Boyi's wife is the younger sister of Yu Baojia's wife and prostitute.
Du Zheng said: "I thought Yu Baojia would support those wastes! It's rare that a useful figure has appeared among these relatives."
Yun Qing said: "I don't know what happened to Wu Xing's side?" Wu Xing guard Tao Huanzhang was pulled up by Yu Baojia with one hand, and he was also a strong general.
Du Zheng said: "Wu Xing and Changshui are his last barriers, Luo Liang's side should be similar to ours." If Wu Xing breaks through, they can enter Changshui from behind, but this can only be thought of. Up.
On the other side, Xu Zhen and Yu Cong have led their troops to take down Yuanzhou. However, even Hetai's army was all transferred to Hongzhou, and Xu Zhen wanted to win Hongzhou, it was not easy.
Xu Zhen was in the camp and was discussing war with Yu Cong and his generals, when he heard the soldiers outside shouting: "General, there is an urgent letter in Haocheng."
Seeing the beautiful plum font on the envelope, Xu Zhen knew it was Yuxi's autograph letter. If it wasn't for a major event, Yuxi wouldn't write to the generals below. They were all official letters.
Xu Zhen said to the general in the camp: "You all go down!" The letter written by the princess herself must be of great importance.
Xu Zhen opened the letter when only Yu Cong was left in the camp. After reading it, Xu Zhen held the letter in deep thought.
Yu Cong asked: "What did the princess say?" It shouldn't be trivial to look at it. Of course, if it is a trivial matter, the princess will not have the turn to write a letter in person.
Xu Zhen frowned and said: "The princess said that we should rush to Hongzhou as quickly as possible."
Yu Cong was a little surprised: "That's it?" In the early morning, they also received a personal letter from Yun Qing, which also asked them to rush to Hongcheng as soon as possible.
Xu Zhen said: "More than that, when the princess asks us to attack Hongcheng, it is enough to contain the opponent's forces. You don't need to work hard." Of course, Yuxi didn't mean that, but the meaning was the same.
Yu Cong asked: "This matter made us pretend to be attacked? Does the princess have a reason?" Seeing Xu Zhen shaking his head, Yu Cong said, "Just do what the princess said!"
Xu Zhen did not refuse, but said with some embarrassment: "The prince and the princess asked us to speed up the process. This is no problem. But the prince asked us to rush to Hongcheng as soon as possible to attack the city, but the princess meant to follow the prince. Disagreement!" I don't know who to listen to.
Yu Cong thought for a while and said, "It will take at least six days to get to Hongzhou from here. This time is long enough for us to tell the news to the prince and get a reply from the prince." In fact, Yu Cong also knew that the princess would definitely do this. Said to the prince. But standing in their position, they should also report this matter.
Xu Zhen immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to send it out. She couldn't help but said to Yu Cong: "Do you think the princess will kill Lien Hetai this time like last time?" When the coach died, his military spirit would be unstable. When they hit Hongzhou, they will get twice the result with half the effort.
Xu Zhen could only applaud Yu Wenhe before Yuxi killed Yu Wenhe, and didn't feel that it was inappropriate. Since it is an enemy, either you die or I live. Although the method is not good, it works quickly.
Yu Cong said: "It should not be possible. The princess was able to kill Yu Wenhe with the help of the Li family. But it is not so easy to kill Lien Hetai." Lien Hetai is the coach, and it is as difficult as ever to kill him. sky.
Xu Zhen was very curious and said, "Then what do you think the princess would do?" He really wants to know!
Yu Cong shook his head and said, "I can't guess what the princess wants to do." To Yuxi, Yu Cong was actually a little bit frustrated. Some men are also afraid of women who are too powerful.
Xu Zhen smiled and said: "Xu Wu may know, or let's ask Xu Wu?" As the princess's confidant, he should be able to guess even if the princess didn't tell him.
Yu Cong looked at Xu Zhen and said, "Do you think I asked Xu Wu, would he say it?" Since the princess did not tell them the reason for attacking Hongcheng, it meant that the matter was confidential. Although he and Xu Wu are brothers, it is impossible for Xu Wu to violate the principle for him, and he cannot make the brothers embarrassed.
Xu Zhen smiled straight and said, "Just talk casually, you are serious." It is also because the relationship is like brothers, so there is no scruples in speaking.
Seeing Yu Cong's black face, Xu Zhen immediately changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I really can't figure it out. What do you think the princess ate to grow up? Why is it so powerful?" The prince is fierce in war, but he is too righteous. , Not as flexible as the princess.
In fact, Xu Zhen didn't think so much about others, he thought that Yuxi was in the same group with them, so the more Yuxi he was, the better he would be to them.
Yu Cong thought for a while and said, "I heard that the princess likes to read. People who love to read are very smart."
Xu Zhen snorted and said, "Get down! There are so many people who like to read, why is there no one as powerful as a princess?" Especially those acid scholars, but after reading a few more books, they can't look down on them. , Think they are rude and savage. These people also didn't want to think that if they hadn't shed blood and sacrificed on the front line, the Beibao people would have come over long ago.
Yu Cong smiled and said: "If the princess knew that you respect her like this, she would definitely be very happy." Yu Cong did not respect or dislike Yuxi, and belonged to the center. Yu Cong feels that everyone has different ideas. As long as you don't do anything radical, you can't force others to change their minds.
Xu Zhen said cheerfully: "Respect is in my heart, it doesn't matter whether the princess knows or not."
Some generals under Yun Qing were dissatisfied with Yuxi's power, others admired her, and Xu Zhen respected her very much.
Yuxi received the battle report from Changshui, and her expression was a little unsightly: "The situation in Changshui is not ideal." He attacked countless times, but was beaten back by Mu Boxi every time. According to this situation, winning Changshui has to pay a heavy price. But the problem is that the Qiantang will still be hit after the Changshui. If the casualties are too great, the Qiantang may not be able to be taken down.
Xu Wu was also anxious when he heard these words: "Where is Wu Xing? Is the fighting situation over there also not ideal?"
Yuxi nodded and said: "The war over there is not going well, but it is better than Changshui." She knew that Changshui was not easy to fight, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult.
It is well known that Jiangnan's army is not strong in combat effectiveness. But the performances of Chang Shui and Wu Xing's defenders were a bit beyond Yuxi's expectations.
Xu Wu thought for a while and said, "Although Yu Baojia claims to have millions of troops, but only 300,000 are elite." In addition, the combat effectiveness is not strong. Most of these soldiers and horses encounter the Northwest Army. Fleeing watching the wind.
Yuxi nodded and said, "I am afraid that the defenders of Changshui and Wu Xing are Yu Baojia's elite troops. It seems that Yu Baojia is not prepared to defend the Qiantang at all, but is already preparing to go to the capital." Defending Wu Xing and Changshui is to delay time. This also showed that Yu Baojia had no idea of fighting Yun Qing to the death.
After listening to Yuxi’s analysis, Xu Wu said: “It’s really possible. But the news from Yang Duoming said that the government has no other abnormalities except forcing ships.” In this case, even if Yang Duoming wants to spread out. No one would believe the news that Baojia was about to flee to the capital. In the Qiantang area, the government is now very strict with public opinion. As long as the government catches the rumors, no one dares to move under high pressure.
When Yuxi heard this, he thought for a while and said, "Yu Baojia is going to transport his belongings to the capital at one time. But this is a good thing for us." Even if Qiu Ye is willing to send troops, his sailors will also be needed. It will take a while to reach Jiangnan. If Yu Baojia had taken away his belongings during this time, he would be able to reach the capital safely. But he postponed the time, and whether these belongings can be safely transported to the capital is still unknown.
Xu Wu said with some worry: "Wu Kuo hasn't heard from him yet, Wang Concubine, do you think there will be an accident?" If the negotiation is settled, Wu Kuo will definitely send the news back. But now it was silent, which made Xu Wu a little worried.
Yuxi said: "If there is no news, it is good news." Yan Wushuang couldn't think of anything she could think of. In order to prevent her people from contacting Qiu Ye, Yan Wushuang would definitely kill the people she sent. It's just that Yuxi didn't say this, because even if she knew it was in danger, she still had to send someone.
Xu Wu really didn't expect this: "Wang Hao, if Qiu Ye cooperates with Yan Wushuang, wouldn't our plan be frustrated?"
Yuxi smiled and said, "Qiu Ye respects his soldiers and does not listen to the court's dispatch, let alone Yan Wushuang's eyes. In this situation, he will only cooperate with Yan Wushuang unless his brain is broken."
Xu Wu said: "I hope Wu Kuo can see Qiu Ye smoothly." As long as Qiu Ye knows this, he should be reluctant to make such a big profit.
Yuxi said, "In Fujian, we can only do our best, and we can't decide the other things."
Xu Wu nodded and said, "If Xu Zhen and the others can take Hongcheng down as soon as possible, then it will be fine." If Hongcheng takes down, Xu Zhen will be able to lead his troops towards Wuzhou. This is bound to cause panic to the soldiers and people in Qiantang, and it can also reduce the pressure on the prince's side accordingly.
Yuxi also hopes that Hongcheng can be taken as soon as possible. If Hongcheng is occupied by them, it means that this war will be over soon. If the war is prolonged by one day, it will cost one more day. The daily expenses are calculated in units of ten thousand taels of silver, and Yuxi's hair was almost pale before raising military expenses.
Yuxi said: "The idea is very good, but it is very difficult. The progress in Hongcheng is not going well." Lian Hetai investigated the matter very strictly, and Yan Wushuang put a lot of intelligence personnel in the army, they Six intelligence personnel have been folded. So far, they have only secretly persuaded a middle-level general.
Xu Wu was taken aback when he heard this, and said: "Wang Hao, why do you even order Xu Zhen and the others not to attack the city with all their strength." Normally, it should be Xu Zhen and the others to attack Hongcheng as quickly as possible. That's it.
Yuxi said: "Lien Hetai has 200,000, and they still occupy favorable terrain. How do you think our 100,000 horses have a chance of winning?" The city has only two hundred thousand soldiers and horses.
Xu Wu said: "The Lord asked Xu Zhen to attack Hongcheng mainly to contain Lian Hetai and prevent him from bringing his troops back to Baojia."
Yu Xi said: "So Xu Zhen's task is to contain Lian Hongcheng's 200,000 soldiers and horses, not to take Hongcheng. When the prince hits Qiantang, Yu Baojia fled to the capital, Hongcheng will not Self-defeating."
Xu Wu called out in surprise, "Wang Hao..."
Yuxi knew what Xu Wu was going to say, and said lightly: "Money is important, but the lives of soldiers are more precious than gold and silver." The problem is that even if all the 100,000 soldiers and horses that Xu Zhen is carrying are damaged, it may not be possible. Take down Hongcheng. In that case, why take this risk.
The longer you stay with Yuxi, the more Xu Wu admires Yuxi.
The war ahead is unfavorable, and Zao Zao is also embarrassed. Yuxi saw it in his eyes, but kept holding back without saying. But at night, Zaozao sat at the dinner table and said that he had no appetite and didn't want to eat it.
Yuxi put down the bowls and chopsticks he had just picked up, and said to Zaozao with a cold face, "You come with me to the study." Ask Zaozao to go to the study to save face for Zaozao.
Entering the study, Yuxi said: "The war ahead is unfavorable, so you don't want to eat. What if your father loses the battle? Don't you want to live?"
Zaozao exploded when he heard this, and said that it was Yuxi. If she were replaced by someone else, she would not be polite: "Mother, don't say such frustrating words, Dad won't be defeated."
Yuxi said blankly, "Why won't your father be defeated? When your father fought the Beibaoren before, he also fought many defeats."
Zaozao looked disbelief.
Yuxi snorted coldly: "If you don't believe me, you can ask your grandfather or Xu Wu." After finishing speaking, Yuxi stared at Zaozao and said: "If you lose or lose in a battle, if you can't accept a losing streak, you can rest early. With the thought of leading soldiers, my mother will find you a good person sooner."
Zaozao's face was anxious: "Mother, you and Dad have promised me to let me lead soldiers in the future. You can't talk too much." Once Yuxi opposed her leading soldiers, all the previous efforts were wasted.
Yuxi said coldly: "As a general in the army, you must remain calm under any circumstances. If not, the cost will be thousands of lives. Just your impatient temperament, do you think Can you stay calm in times of crisis?" Juzao's current temperament is not suitable for leading soldiers at all.
Zaozao was said to lower her head, but soon she looked up again and said: "Mother, I will change."
Yuxi said: "Just talk about it, you have to act. Now, go out to eat."
Zaozao went out to eat honestly.
ps: Shrimp, I have a cold. At this time, you are most likely to catch a cold, so you should pay attention to it.
