"General Xu, please pass on the order. The army will stay in Changyuan City tonight."
After driving for half a month continuously, with less than two hours of rest every day, he looked at the 50,000-strong army with tired faces. He was worried that the army would collapse from exhaustion, so he ordered to the deputy general beside him:
"I will pass on the order from now on."
Xuchang responded and rode away to deliver the order.
Half a month can be said to be long or short, but the border war is changing rapidly.
At this time, the north of Dongqi Kingdom, including Liuchi City, had lost four cities in a row, and the southwest side of the border with Xingyaozhong had also lost three cities.
After Feng Qingzhuang finished her meal, she left Xiao Jinzi and went out to check the terrain near Changyuan City. Wu Jingyu naturally accompanied her and poured a cup of warm tea and handed it to her.
"Zhuang'er, I'm tired after half a month of marching," Wu Jingyu said gently with his dark jade-like eyes as gentle as water.
"I can still endure this little hardship. I'm just worried that before we arrive at Anhe City, the city will have been captured by Shangguan Xuanqing. By then, we're afraid we will be very passive." Feng Qingzhuang frowned, with a sad look on her face.
"If the soldiers come to stop us and the water comes to cover us, if we really can't defeat him, don't worry, I will rush directly to the Xingyao Kingdom's palace, capture the ambitious Shangguan Xuancheng and tie him up in front of the three-army formation, and see how he can attack Shangguan Xuanqing."
Dongqi Kingdom?"
Seeing Feng Qingzhuang frowning, Wu Jingyu joked:
"Now that the army is approaching, you still have the energy to make a joke."
Rolling her eyes at Wu Jingyu, Feng Qingzhuang still had a sad look on her face.
Half an hour passed, and finally there was a "squeak" sound in the room.
"Xiao Jinzi, quickly tell me about the terrain near Changyuan City, Wu Jingyu, you are responsible for drawing the terrain."
Feng Qingzhuang walked to the corner and carried Xiao Jinzi to the table. She finally swept away her sadness and relaxed her brows.
"good"
With a slight response, Wu Jingyu's thoughts moved, and he took out the Four Treasures of the Study from Mo Yin Yunlong and placed them on the table. As Xiao Jinzi was describing, Wu Jingyu moved freely with the wolf hair in his hand, flowing freely.
An hour flew by, and a complete topographic map of Changyuan City appeared on the desktop. Wu Jingyu was careful and made some marks.
Suddenly, there was a shout outside the house
"Report!"
"Your Highness, there is a battle report coming from the front," a soldier waiting outside the door reported.
"Let him in," Feng Qingzhuang's cold and majestic voice floated out.
As soon as a sweaty soldier entered the room, he knelt on the ground with his head lowered and hurriedly reported
"Reporting to Your Highness the Princess, the spies in front have sent news that Anhe City has been lost and the Xingyao Kingdom's army is marching towards Changyuan City."
"Damn it, what are you really afraid of?"
Feng Qingzhuang's whole body was filled with cold air. She slapped the table under her hand hard, and the table immediately fell into pieces. Fortunately, Wu Jingyu acted quickly, otherwise the topographic map that he had worked hard on for an hour would have been in vain.
"How many soldiers and horses are there in the Xingyao Kingdom's enemy troops marching towards Changyuan City? Who is leading the troops? Have the spies found out clearly?" Feng Qingzhuang's face was cold and terrifying, and her dark eyes were like bottomless abyss.
The cold pool is terrifying
"Back to Princess, the spies found out that the Qing King of Xingyao Kingdom, Shangguan Xuanqing, personally led 400,000 troops to march towards Changyuan City, and the remaining 100,000 troops were stationed in the three captured cities."
"I know, go down." Feng Qingzhuang's face was covered with clouds, making it difficult to see the extreme.
After the soldiers exited the room, Feng Qingzhuang's cold and solemn voice floated out from her red lips.
"I really underestimated Shangguan Xuanqing. He moved so fast. In just half a month, he attacked three cities in a row and seized Anhe City, a city with dangerous terrain. It seems that our previous plan has completely disappeared.
I hope to the north, Di He's movements are faster than Feng Yu's. Before the Cang Yan Kingdom's army arrived, the 50,000 soldiers and horses he led arrived at Tonghua City first."
There is a trace of worry in the eyes
"The Tianwu Jueren Road has lost Anhe City, so we will defend Changyuan City and give Shangguan Xuanqing a beautiful counterattack in Changyuan City."
Looking at the sad-looking person, Wu Jingyu's eyes showed a hint of distress, he put his arm around her shoulders, let her lean on him, and comforted her.
"You're right. Since Anhe City has been lost, it's useless for me to worry here. Why don't I cheer up and think about how to give Shangguan Xuanqing a beautiful counterattack in Changyuan City?" Feng Qingzhuang's face was cold and her eyes were bright.
, the whole person was suddenly full of fighting spirit
Feng Qingzhuang's back was as straight as green pines and cypresses. She walked to the door and ordered the soldiers outside to find a new table to place in the room. She also asked Wu Jingyu to spread out the painted table.
She lowered her head and stared at the topographic map carefully, her brows sometimes frowning, sometimes raising her eyebrows, tapping her fingers lightly on the table, thinking about good strategies.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the sky was clear outside the house. It was already midnight, and the moonlight was pouring down like water all over the ground.
Finally, Feng Qingzhuang's frown relaxed, and an elegant smile overflowed from the corner of her lips, like an epiphyllum blooming at night, elegant and compelling
"Zhuang'er, judging from your expression, I'm afraid you already have a good plan in mind." Wu Jingyu curled his lips and smiled, his eyes as soft as the warm sun. He looked at Feng Qingzhuang, who was smiling softly, and his mood also changed.
good
"Yes, I do have a good plan in mind."
Feng Qingzhuang nodded, her plan was decided, her expression became relaxed, and she continued
"Even if Shangguan Xuanqing's army marches day and night, it will take at least three days to reach the outside of Changyuan City. Today is over, and we still have two days to prepare. It is already enough. After a tiring day, we will rest tomorrow.
Still have to be busy”
"I've been traveling for the past half month and I haven't even touched the bed. I can have a good sleep in bed today. I'll go back to the room first. You can rest early."
After saying that, Wu Jingyu walked out of the room
A moment after Wu Jingyu left, the candles in Feng Qingzhuang's room were extinguished. She put on her clothes and fell directly onto the bed. Within a moment, she could breathe lightly. She must have been really tired.
The next day, the sun rises in the east, the sunlight penetrates the floating thin clouds, disperses the dense fog, and spreads warmth over the earth.
Feng Qingzhuang had just opened her eyes and washed her face casually with cold water. General Xu Chang and several generals in the army had already focused on the door of Feng Qingzhuang's room. Everyone must have heard the news that Anhe City had been lost.
Said
The door opened, Xuchang and several generals all looked sad.
"Your Highness, I heard that there was news from the front last night that Anhe City has been lost. Is this true?"
