"This news is true. Anhe City was lost yesterday, and the Xingyao Kingdom's army is marching towards Changyuan City."
"What should we do? If Anhe City is lost, the city behind is flat, and we only have 50,000 troops. How can we withstand the Xingyao Kingdom's 400,000-strong army?" One of the generals' dark eyes showed a hint of panic.
"Don't panic, everyone. After learning the news that Anhe City was lost yesterday, I have already sent people to explore the terrain around Changyuan City. I have a good strategy in mind and there are still two days left, which is enough for us to make complete preparations."
Feng Qingzhuang's face was as calm as a mountain, calm and collected, without any trace of panic. After seeing the other generals, their slightly flustered hearts immediately calmed down.
"I don't know what good advice the princess has. Can you tell us about it so that we can have a better understanding?" Xuchang opened his lips and said.
"Everyone will gather in my room in the evening. I will tell you all the good ideas in my mind. But there are still many things that need to be prepared in advance today."
Feng Qingzhuang's face was calm, her eyes were solemn, her red lips were slightly open, and her voice suddenly rose.
"General Xu listens to orders"
"The end will be here." Xuchang almost reflexively took a step forward and said,
"Here are five hundred taels of silver notes. Take it and recruit a thousand soldiers. Use these notes to quickly go to the city to collect 4,000 cloth bags. It must be completed before noon."
With a thought, Feng Qingzhuang took out five hundred taels of silver notes from Mo Yin Yunfeng and handed it to Xuchang's hand, ordering
"The last general takes command"
After saying this, Xuchang walked out with his back as straight as a pine tree and his steps steady and powerful.
"General Li, General Zhang, please obey the order." Feng Qingzhuang's eyes were sharp and her voice was majestic. She could not be disobeyed.
"The end will be here"
They both stepped forward and obeyed the order.
"Here are three thousand taels of silver. The two of you lead three thousand soldiers and quickly go to the city to collect kerosene, wine, charcoal, sulfur and other flammable items. The more the better. Be careful when collecting. Don't burn them.
Remember, it must be completed before noon."
After handing the three thousand taels of silver notes to the two generals, Feng Qingzhuang warned uneasily.
"The general will definitely live up to the princess' humiliation"
Generals Li and Liu took the banknotes and strode out.
"Your Highness, why don't you assign a mission to the two of us?"
The two generals of Zhou and Song who were left in the room had not received Feng Qingzhuang's order for a long time, and they asked dissatisfiedly.
"The two of you have an important task. After noon, after General Xu, General Zhang and General Li have collected everything they need, you two will lead five thousand soldiers to inform the people in the city to move out of Changyuan City and move to the next city.
And it must be completed before sunset.”
Speaking of this, Feng Qingzhuang's voice seemed a little heavy.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for the people to leave their hometowns." General Zhou showed a hint of embarrassment.
"That's why I say that you two have an important mission, but this is necessary. If not, my good plan will not be implemented. In three days, Changyuan City will be captured by Xingyao's enemy forces." Feng Qingzhuang said the actual stakes
"Your Highness, please rest assured that the mission will be completed. There will be no more people in the city before sunset."
The two generals took the order and said
"I believe you can go" Feng Qingzhuang waved her hand
The two generals also left the room.
The room became quiet again, Feng Qingzhuang stood in front of the window, her deep eyes were like a bottomless ocean, making it difficult to guess what she was thinking.
"Zhuang'er, what are you thinking about?" Wu Jingyu personally carried the tray. There was a large bowl of porridge and two side dishes on the tray. It seemed that he was preparing to have breakfast with Feng Qingzhuang.
"I was just thinking that maybe the day after tomorrow, or as soon as the day after tomorrow passes, the homes of the people in Changyuan City will be destroyed. I wonder if the people who were forced to move out of Changyuan City will blame me if they learn this news.
?" Feng Qingzhuang's eyes showed an unprecedented heaviness.
"Although the common people who don't know how to read don't read many books, they are not ignorant people. They will understand your difficulties and destroy their homes, but they have saved the homes of thousands of people in Dongqi Kingdom, allowing more people to
More people can live a stable life.”
Wu Jingyu put his arm around Feng Qingzhuang's shoulders, let her lean on his shoulders, passed on his strength to her, and comforted her gently.
"Thank you. After we have finished our meal, please accompany us to walk around Changyuan and test the surrounding terrain so that the good plan in my mind can be more effective." Putting aside the heaviness in his heart, Feng Qingzhuang said on her face
Showing a faint smile, he curled his lips and said coldly
"Okay" Wu Jingyu smiled, his eyes soft, like the twinkling stars in the night sky
The two of them finished their meal quickly and called Qian Slam. The three of them took the horses from the stable and rode them out of the city.
The setting sun sets in the west, the setting sun is like blood
When Feng Qingzhuang, Wu Jingyu and Qian Manguan returned from outside the city, the city of Changyuan was quiet. They could no longer hear the sounds of children playing, the shouts of vendors, the barking of dogs...
"I have seen your Royal Highness the Princess. All the things you asked us to collect have been collected, and the people have moved out of Changyuan City at sunset and rushed to the next city." Xuchang, as the representative of the military generals, saw that
Feng Qingzhuang, who dismounted and returned to the city, quickly stepped forward to report
“Well done”
Feng Qingzhuang praised her and then said
"We'll have dinner later. Everyone gather in my room. I have tasks to assign."
"In that case, I will step back first to inform everyone," Xuchang said
After Feng Qingzhuang nodded, Xuchang bowed his hands and stepped back.
Wu Jingyu, Qian Manguan and Feng Qingzhuang returned to the room and finished their meal in a hurry. Xuchang and the four generals Liu, Li, Zhou and Song walked into the room under the summons of Feng Qingzhuang.
In the room, after a whole day of field inspection today, Feng Qingzhuang and Wu Jingyu re-drawn a larger and more accurate topographic map of Changyuan City and nearby areas, which is currently hanging on the wall of the room.
superior
In order to prevent scratching the topographic map, Feng Qingzhuang held a smooth and slender wooden stick in her hand, pointed at the topographic map hanging on the wall, and a cold voice slowly floated out.
"This is a topographic map of Changyuan City and its surroundings. Let's take a look at it. The square city in the middle represents Changyuan City. There is a Taoyuan River to the east of Changyuan City, and there is a Songwei Slope outside the east gate city. I plan to use it.
The favorable terrain around Changyuan City made it impossible for Xingyao Kingdom’s 400,000-strong army to come back.”
"I dare to ask, Your Highness Princess, is it true that our 50,000-strong army can defeat the Xingyao Kingdom's 400,000-strong army just by relying on one city, one river and one slope on the topographical map? How is this possible?" General Song had obvious doubts in his eyes.
