An Shuli was discussing matters in the conference hall, when he saw Yun An standing behind him suddenly, he turned his head to look at him keenly.
He thought something happened to Huayan, and immediately asked, "But what happened to the princess?"
Yun An shook his head, "The Crown Princess has something important to do, please An Zaifu to see her immediately."
An Shuli immediately stood up, and said to the courtiers who were discussing with him, "Come here first, and we will discuss tomorrow." After saying a word, he immediately left the gate of the meeting hall.
He clearly knew that if it was not a very urgent matter, he only needed to send any servant from the Eastern Palace to tell him that he was free to see him. Now that Yun An was sent, it was obvious that the matter was very urgent.
An Shuli rode a fast horse, and soon arrived at the East Palace.
He quickly stepped into the Phoenix East Garden, and at a glance, he saw Huayan leaning against the back of the chair with her eyes closed. Today is cloudy and the sun is not visible, so her chair is naturally not placed under a tree, even if there is no tree's shadow falling on her face , but a thick shadow still fell on her face, and the aura around her was very dark.
An Shuli paused, then quickly walked up to her and asked, "What happened?"
Huayan opened her eyes, without saying a word, she handed Huazhuo's letterhead to him.
An Shuli took it, and after reading it, his complexion suddenly became heavy and dark. He quickly calculated the days when Yan Junshi led his troops to leave Jiuhuan Mountain and where he had gone, but what he had seen Although there are many books, the roads traveled are not many. He was not sure for a while, looked at Huayan and asked, "Prince Princess may have calculated where Yan Junshi's troops are now. If we send troops to stop them in advance, we can only use the capital to stop them." There are only 200,000 soldiers and horses in the Lu Bingma Camp, and I'm afraid they can't stop 500,000 soldiers and horses. It is said that the soldiers and horses in Jiuhuan Mountain are all specially trained elite soldiers."
While waiting for An Shu to leave, Huayan already had a rough estimate in her mind, but she still needed to figure it out carefully, she said, "Let's go to Yunchi's study to look at the topographical map of Southern Chu later, I I have a general position in my mind, but I still need to think about it carefully." After finishing the sentence, he said, "I sent people to invite Cheng Guzhi and Mei Shuyu, and 200,000 soldiers and horses in the Jinglu Army Camp are not enough. , but what we want is not to win the battle, but to stop him."
An Shuli nodded, "That's right, just stop him from taking half a million troops to Shanling Pass."
Huayan nodded, stood up, "Go, go to the study." After saying that, the other mother ordered, "Tell Steward Fu, after Cheng Guzhi and Mei Shuyu come, let them go directly to the study."
Nanny Fang responded, and immediately sent someone to inform Butler Fu.
Hua Yan and An Shu left Phoenix East Garden and came to the study.
In Yunchi's study room, hung a large map of the mountains and rivers of Southern Chu. This map of mountains and rivers was not very detailed before, but after Huayan married into the East Palace, she stayed with Yunchi in the study room for a period of time to deal with court affairs When she had nothing to do, when she was not reading picture books and strange novels, she detailed the places she walked on the mountain and river map with a pen.
The world of Southern Chu is a huge place. She has taken Xia Yuan to ten out of ten places in so many years. Hands are truly priceless. The geology officials sent by the imperial court to draw the map of mountains and rivers for so many years are not as detailed as the ones written by her.
When An Shuli saw this picture of mountains and rivers in Yunchi's study for the first time, he was quite shocked.
Not to mention An Shuli, Huayan was revised and refined by Yunchi himself under Yunchi's nose. Although he was not surprised, he was moved by Huayan's travels to almost all places in the world. At that time, he thought in his heart that it would be great if she came to the capital earlier, and later he thought that if she came to the capital earlier, wouldn't it mean that he would meet Su Zizhan earlier, or forget it, that would be great.
At that time, Huayan naturally didn't know that Yunchi had so many thoughts, and only told him the customs and people's livelihood of the places he had traveled to this picture of mountains and rivers that he had modified.
Now, this map of mountains and rivers has come in handy.
It will take at least a month's journey from north to south to transfer 500,000 soldiers and horses from Jiuhuan Mountain in the North to Lingnan. The capital is in the middle of the north and south. According to Hua Zhuo's letter, it has been at least half a month since Yan Junshi left with his troops.
Then, she picked up the dried apricot branch that Yun Chi put in the pen holder that she had given him and he never threw it away, pointed at three places, and asked An Shuli, "Tell me, in these three places, what should Master Yan Jun do?" which way to go"
An Shuli looked up, and saw Huayan pointing to three places, representing the three roads to Shanling Pass. One is the official road, one is mountainous, and the other is multi-canyon. They are all roads that bypass the boundaries of the capital.
Naturally, Junshi Yan is not stupid, he will not bring soldiers and horses into the boundary of the capital, the mission Su Zi gave him is definitely not to attack the capital, but to kill Yunchi, so he will definitely not want to make trouble, but must want to keep it secret He quietly appeared at Shanling Pass, and besieged Yunchi's soldiers from both front and back.
An Shuli pondered for a moment, then pointed to one place, "This is the Valley of Miraculous Doctors. It is the farthest road from the capital, and there are many mountain streams and narrow roads, and it is also covered by lush vegetation. I think Master Yan chose to take this road. You what do you think?"
Huayan smiled for the first time since reading Hua Zhuo's letter, "I think so, since you and I have the same thoughts, it must be here."
An Shuli immediately looked at the terrain of Miracle Doctor Valley and had several plans for deploying soldiers in his mind, and he also smiled, "This place is also blessed with a dangerous terrain. If it is any other place, we might as well block more with less." There are people. Here, 200,000 Jinglu soldiers and horses can block 500,000 elite soldiers, and they can hold back at least half a month."
"After half a month, my brother and Su Qingfeng will be able to lead the troops, let them go this way too." Huayan's eyes turned cold, "I also want to see, stealing chickens won't cost you money, and there will be money." What's the end?"
An Shuli nodded, "There are 80,000 soldiers and horses in the five cities of the imperial guards and horses in total, which is enough to defend the capital. But they can no longer be used together with the soldiers and horses of the Jinglu soldiers and horses camp. Hold back Junshi Yan's soldiers and wait for Su Qingfeng's soldiers. As long as we can hold back, Junshi Yan's half a million elite soldiers" said, his eyes flashed coldly, "We will take it."
Hua Yan nodded.
Not long after, Cheng Guzhi and Mei Shuyu hurried to the East Palace, and Steward Fu led them to the study.
The weather was too hot, and the two of them broke out in a sweat.
An Shuli met with the two of them and briefly explained the matter.
As soon as Mei Shuyu heard it, she immediately exploded, "Su Zi has made a plan, and he must not be allowed to succeed." After saying that, he said, "I will lead soldiers to stop it."
An Shuli patted him on the shoulder, "Be safe and don't be impatient. Naturally, you need your Jinglu soldiers and horses to go. You are the only one who governs the country. I'm afraid you won't be able to stop the scheming Junshi Yan."
Mei Shuyu frowned, "Then who else will go?" After finishing speaking, he looked at Cheng Guzhi, "He will follow me."
"He can't. Mr. Cheng wants to stay in the capital to manage the distribution of the general grain and grass. He can't leave the capital." Huayan shook her head and said to the three of them, "I will go with you. An Zaifu and Mr. Cheng stay in the capital."
As soon as her words fell, Mei Shuyu was startled, opened her eyes wide, looked at her protruding belly, and said in a panic, "This prince's cousin, you can't go!"
An Shuli was also shocked, he hadn't heard Huayan say that she was going, and immediately said, "No, the Crown Princess cannot leave Beijing."
Cheng Guzhi immediately said, "Of course the Crown Princess cannot leave Beijing. If something happens to you, it will not only kill His Highness the Crown Prince, but we all don't have to live."
Huayan looked at the three of them, "I've been thinking about it for half an hour. Shuli must not leave the capital. After a month of turmoil in the court, the court has not settled down yet. You must be here. And Mr. Cheng also wants to stay in the capital. Yan The military division has always been by Su Zizhe's side. I am familiar with him, and he is also a very powerful person. I have been in a stable pregnancy recently, and the sky is not bound to come out of the valley of genius doctors. I will take him with me. I'm fine, and I'll bring Yun An, Dong Gong and Hua Family's dark guards with me, safety is not an issue."
"That's not okay, absolutely not, I won't agree." An Shuli shook his head resolutely, his eyes were firm, "Don't say it, you can't go to anyone, it's not that there are no useful people, and I want you alone A man with a big belly goes to the front to fight. With you in the capital, I can leave the capital, but if I let you go, why not let me go, you also have the ability to stabilize the court."
Mei Shuyu also resolutely opposed the reconciliation, and promised, "I will swear to the death to stop Yan Junshi's soldiers and horses, cousin, just trust me."
Hua Yan saw that the three of them would not let her leave the capital, she pursed her lips, and thought about the people in the court, she was really worried, two hundred thousand soldiers, even if they occupy the terrain of the Valley of Miraculous Doctors, it is too far behind , if the deployment is not good, not only will it not be able to stop it, but it may be swallowed by Junshi Yan.
Compared with Yan Junshi, Mei Shuyu is still too immature.
Besides her, An Shuli was the only one left.
She took a deep breath and said to An Shuli, "In that case, you can go. I will ask Xiao Wu to take care of the court affairs."
An Shuli was really relieved when he saw Huayan spit out, he was really afraid that he would not be able to stop her, "Okay."
