Chapter 201 Shocking change, King Jing is in danger
Yun Shang saw that the secret guard had a strange look on his face, so he took the rolled up paper and opened it. When he saw the person in the portrait, he froze on the spot. Qianyin saw that her expression was wrong, so she joined him.
He went up and took a look, and when he saw it, he cried out, "Ah, Princess, isn't the person in this portrait the Princess?"
Yes, the person in the portrait was exactly her, but it was her when she was dressed as a man. Yun Shang was silent for a moment, then rolled up the portrait, raised her eyes and asked the secret guard, "There are only portraits on it, but no words."
, then what did Liu Yinfeng say when he ordered the search for the person?"
Yun Shang didn't ask, but as soon as he asked, the secret guard's expression became even more strange. He hesitated for a long time, and then seeing Yun Shang staring at him, he said, "Then Liu Yinfeng said to his guard
, the person in the portrait is his beloved, so the guards must find this person and bring him back intact."
As soon as these words came out, both Yun Chang and Qian Yin were stunned. After a while, Yun Chang came back to his senses, suppressed the surprise in his heart, frowned slightly and thought for a while before saying, "There is no need to report this matter to the prince. I
Just come and solve it.”
When the secret guard heard this, he was silent for a moment, thinking that the prince had told him when he left that if anything related to the safety of the princess must be reported as soon as possible, and for all other matters, just follow the princess's instructions. The secret guard looked at the portrait in Yun Shang's hand.
, they are just looking for the princess, and Liu Yinfeng does not know the identity of the princess, so it should not be related to the princess's safety. Thinking of this, the secret guard nodded and responded, "I obey my orders."
After letting the secret guard retreat, Qianyin spoke, "Princess, you said that Liu Yinfeng has a habit of cutting off his sleeves. The princess is indeed very handsome and elegant when she dresses in men's clothing. Could it be that Liu Yinfeng really likes it?"
Fucked the princess?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yun Shang raised his hand and patted Qianyin's head, rolled up the portrait, put it on the desk, then turned around and said to Qianyin, "I'll go see General Qi later.
How's the progress over there? Just stay in the camp. It's not convenient to be outside. I'll ask someone to tell you something. If someone reports something, just ask what it is. If it's not important, we'll report it together in the evening.
Give it to me, the important thing is to let the secret guards come to find me."
Although Qianyin was a little reluctant to stay in the camp, Yunshang had already made arrangements and Qianyin couldn't violate it, so she reluctantly agreed.
Yun Shang rode his horse to the top of Longxia Mountain alone. When he reached the top of Longxia Mountain, he saw Qi Lang and several middle-aged men standing on the edge of the cliff to the west of Yun Lake, talking about something.
Holding a tape measure and an awl, it should be the person who comes to measure.
Seeing Yun Shang coming up, Qi Lang was also stunned. He gave a few instructions to the middle-aged people, walked up to Yun Shang, cupped his hands and said, "Why are you here alone, sir?"
Qi Lang has become much more polite to Yun Shang recently. Although he is not very respectful, he can talk to Yun Shang calmly, unlike before when he always spoke with thorns.
Yun Shang smiled slightly and said, "Nothing, I just came to see what General Qi is going to do?"
Qi Lang was silent for a moment, with a trace of struggle flashing in his eyes. After a while, he said, "I just called some craftsmen who are good at measuring to measure and choose the place for the opening. I will bring people to start carving the mountain at the end of tomorrow."
Hearing this, Yun Shang paused slightly and said, "General Qi, are you going to have people come to dig the mountain?"
"Huh?" Qi Lang seemed a little confused as to why Yun Shang asked like this, and said matter-of-factly, "Yes."
"General Qi thinks, when will Liu Yinfeng start taking action?" Yun Shang walked to the edge of the cliff, looked at the steep mountain wall below, and said softly.
Qi Lang was silent for a moment and then said, "Liu Yinfeng is a bold and careful person. He has been exploring the road by the Jing River these days. I am afraid that he has already made complete preparations and may start taking action in the near future.
.”
Yun Shang nodded and asked, "General, if we start carving the mountain manually, how long will it take to carve out the width we want?"
Qi Lang fell silent after hearing this, "If there are fifty craftsmen, it will take about ten days."
Yun Shang turned to look at Qi Lang and smiled, "General, have you ever thought about how many craftsmen there are in Kangyang City who know this kind of work? If all these craftsmen are brought to this mountain, there will suddenly be no craftsmen in the city.
, those who are thoughtful will see the clues. Moreover, craftsmen cannot do it all at once. They come bit by bit, and the water will leave the mountain bit by bit. I am afraid that in less than five days, Jing will be gone.
The river will slowly start to have water. General Qi also knows what kind of person Liu Yinfeng is. As long as the Jinghe River starts to have a little water, Liu Yinfeng will be suspicious. Liu Yinfeng will become suspicious.
, all the things we have done will be in vain.”
When Qi Lang heard the words, he frowned slightly and thought carefully for a moment. Although he didn't want to see Yun Shang before, but now he listens to her calmly, he also feels that her words are very reasonable. Qi Lang can do this
It was already very difficult to listen carefully to Yun Shang's words. It was impossible for him to lower his face again and ask Yun Sang if he had any ideas. He could only stand there with a bit of embarrassment and look at Yun Shang.
skirts.
Yun Shang never thought of asking Qi Lang to ask him, so he seemed to be talking to himself, "I also saw this method from a book, and I don't know if it is feasible, but now, I have to give it a try.
Yun Shang raised her eyes and said, "I heard that some craftsmen among the people occasionally have firecrackers to blow up things?"
Qi Lang didn't understand why Yun Shang asked about this, but he nodded honestly, "It is true, but it is rarely used. The craftsmen do all fine work, but the sand and gravel that have been left behind by the firecrackers are...
It’s very finely chopped, so most of the time it’s not used.”
Yun Shang responded, looking at the cliff in front of him and said, "It doesn't have to be so precise to cut the mountain. When you go back, find a secret place, buy a lot of firecrackers, take out everything inside, and then use things to pack it up."
, light it, and see if it is powerful enough to explode the stone. This is very dangerous, so you must be more careful."
After hearing this, Qi Lang thought for a moment and felt that the matter seemed interesting, so he agreed.
"Have the nearby people been settled?" Yun Shang asked again.
"After the arrangements have been made, I will send them to some villagers nearby," Qi Lang responded.
Yun Shang nodded and saw that Qi Lang was indeed unambiguous in what he did, so he felt relieved and returned to the camp.
The firecracker incident was unexpectedly smooth and the effect was very good. When Qi Lang came to report the progress to Yun Shang for several days in a row, there was a bit of surprise in his eyes. Yun Shang also went to see it and followed suit.
She was shocked. She found out that the method was indeed just from the book that Mr. Qing Cang gave her, but she didn't expect it to be so powerful. She was extremely shocked and felt a little relieved. Things were going in the direction she wanted.
As the situation progressed, Yun Shang just sent more manpower to monitor Liu Yinfeng's recent actions, just waiting for him to launch troops and give him a fatal blow.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and it is gradually approaching the end of the year. According to reports from spies, Xia Jun's troops are also mobilized very frequently. Liu Yinfeng discussed military affairs with Xia Houyan in the commander's camp for several days in a row, although the secret guards could not approach the commander.
Camp, but also understands that Liu Yinfeng can't wait any longer.
It was the New Year's Eve, and because they were afraid of the Xia army's surprise attack, even several generals stayed in the camp every day, waiting strictly.
Sure enough, on the night of Little New Year's Eve, just after midnight, the secret guard came in a hurry to report that the Xia army had sent troops and was heading towards Kangyang City along the Jing River.
Hearing this, Yun Shang hurriedly put on his clothes and put on a fox fur coat and summoned the generals to the camp. They had already discussed the strategy against the enemy these days, so they just made a few simple deployments, and then hurriedly left with their troops.
Got the camp tent.
Qi Lang and Yun Shang stayed, because many times, the commander only needs to sit in the camp and command, which is not wrong. However, after several generals led the army to leave, Yun Shang and Qi Lang quietly left.
We set up camp and headed straight for Longxia Mountain.
"Report, the enemy has marched three miles and is speeding up the march. The troops led by General Wang have been stationed in the forest and are ready."
"Report, the enemy has marched seven miles. The team led by General Liu has reached the middle of Chunfengdu. It will take about four hours to reach the enemy camp."
The road to Longxia Mountain was still very difficult. Along the way, there were constant reports from the army. It was not until dawn that Yun Shang and Qi Lang reached the top of the mountain. They hurried to the west of Yun Lake. Fortunately,
The craftsmen have been eating and lodging on the mountain these days, and are already waiting on the cliff.
"Have the firecrackers been buried?" Qi Lang asked hurriedly.
"Your Excellency, General, we are ready."
Yun Shang nodded, "If the Xia army is about to reach the highest point of the mountains on both sides of the Jing River, the secret guards will send a message with fireworks. When the time comes, we will light the firecrackers."
Qi Lang responded, with a bit of excitement in his voice. Although he did not personally go into battle to kill the enemy, he was familiar with military books. Naturally, he understood that if the Xia army could be destroyed in this way, they would not have to waste a single soldier.
Well, that's a great thing.
When the sky was about to dawn, a burst of fireworks suddenly rose in the sky. Although it was not very clear because Longxia Mountain was too high, Yun Shang had already confirmed that it was the signal of the secret guard and quickly asked everyone to retreat.
When we arrived at the place we were going up the mountain, which was quite far away from the cliff in the west, we had people light the firecrackers. The person who lit the firecrackers was also a first-class light kung fu expert. After lighting the firecrackers, they quickly flew far away.
After a while, a loud "bang" was heard, and the earth suddenly shook. Although Yun Shang was good at martial arts, he almost fell to the ground. It took a lot of effort to stabilize his body.
After the sound, Yun Shang heard a rumbling sound.
Everyone trembled in their hearts for a while before they stabilized their position and hurriedly ran to the cliff mouth to take a look. They saw that there was a large opening about three feet wide in the cliff mouth, and the water of Yun Lake came out of the cliff mouth.
The sound of pouring down and rumbling is exactly the sound of water flowing down.
When Yun Shang saw this, she knew that most of the matter was over, but she didn't know what the situation was in Qixialing, so she hurriedly led people down the mountain and rushed to Qixialing. The road down the mountain was very slippery, and everyone almost rolled over.
Although he was able to climb down the mountain, he didn't care about his embarrassment and hurriedly rode towards Qixialing.
As soon as I reached Qixialing, I heard the sound of rumbling water halfway up the mountain. When I reached Qixialing, I couldn't help but feel shocked again. The water poured down from Longxia Mountain and fell into the lake in Qixialing, splashing
A huge mist arose, and everyone was drenched by the mist, but they didn't care, so they walked to the original channel of the Jing River to take a look. They saw water rushing down along the original course of the Jing River in Qixialing.
The river flows downward.
"Hahahahaha!" Qi Lang looked up to the sky and laughed for a while, then turned his head to look at Yun Shang, his eyes filled with joy, "Sir, it's done!"
Yun Shang nodded, but her heart was a little trembling. She naturally knew that if the water was left like this, Xia Jun's hundreds of thousands of troops would really be buried at the bottom of the river. She could even imagine that
, the shock and fear on the faces of those soldiers when they saw the sudden pour of water from the river.
There was a bit of bitterness on Yun Shang's face. She was really not a kind person, but now she was carrying the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Those soldiers were also innocent people, but they were involved in the war and lost their lives.
.Yun Shang slowly closed her eyes, covering up the unbearable look spreading in her eyes.
After a long time, Yun Shang suppressed the discomfort in her heart, opened her eyes, and saw several secret guards hurriedly flying over using Qinggong and kneeling down in front of Yun Shang.
Before Yun Shang could ask, the secret guard kneeling at the front spoke, "Princess, my subordinates discovered that there were less than 100,000 people in the Jing River. Liu Yinfeng and Xia Houyan brought the remaining soldiers, but
We went along the bank of Jinghe River to Jingyang."
When Yun Shang heard this, her expression suddenly changed, "What did you say?"
The secret guard repeated the story again, "Princess, Liu Yinfeng and Xia Houyan went to Jingyang with an army of 400,000 people."
Yun Shang was shocked, how could this happen? Four hundred thousand troops! She was deceived by Liu Yinfeng's deception. She actually forgot that the Jinghe River runs from Kangyang all the way to Jingyang. She never thought that Liu Yinfeng
Will have the idea of Jingyang. There were already 250,000 Xia troops outside Jingyang City, and now Xia Houyan actually brought 400,000 troops there, a total of 650,000 troops, while the defenders in Jingyang City were only 20
It's only ten thousand. No matter how brave and skillful these 200,000 troops are, they can't withstand an attack with three times the strength.
Yun Shang hurriedly said, "Send a message to all the generals quickly and return to the camp!" After saying that, he hurriedly got on his horse and galloped towards the camp.
Back in the camp, Qian Yin was surprised to see Yun Shang soaked all over, "What's wrong with the princess?" She then pulled Yun Shang into the house to help her change clothes.
Yun Shang shook her head, feeling extremely anxious, and quickly called the secret guard to ask for details. The secret guard only said that Xia Houyan seemed to have frequently exchanged letters with the Seventh Prince in the past few days, but they all sent letters in code words. Before that,
The secret guard also intercepted two letters. After taking them back, Yun Shang had people look at them for a long time but nothing was wrong.
Last night, when the Xia army mobilized its troops, Xia Houjing sent people to disguise themselves as him and Liu Yinfeng, and led a hundred thousand troops out of the camp. The secret guards were attracted by the sight, and they all followed. But
After marching, they suddenly realized that the number of the army was obviously wrong, so they hurried back to the camp to investigate, only to find that the real Xia Houyan and Liu Yinfeng had led the remaining 400,000 troops towards Jingyang. The original Xia Army camp was now
It was already deserted, and all the necessary things had been taken away. Only then did the secret guard realize that he had fallen into a trap, and then he hurriedly came back to report.
Yun Shang felt cold all over her body and her teeth kept chattering. Liu Yinfeng, she had underestimated him after all.
Qi Lang looked at Yun Chang, who was a little embarrassed but extremely calm, and felt a bit of admiration in his heart. Although Ning Yunshang misjudged Liu Yinfeng's movements this time, he also understood that if it were him, he might not be able to do anything in a row.
These 100,000 people may not be able to win. Even though there was such a major mistake at this moment, she still didn't panic. Even though he claimed to be used to big winds and waves, he couldn't be so magnanimous.
Seeing Yun Shang's appearance, Qian Yin knew that something must have happened. Seeing that Yun Shang refused to change her clothes, she quickly took a dry handkerchief and gently wiped Yun Shang's hair, but she saw Yun Shang stood up suddenly.
He stood up and said, "Change your clothes." After saying that, he looked at Qi Lang and said, "General Qi, go and change your clothes too. We still have a big battle to fight. It would not be good if you are sick."
When Qi Lang heard the words, he quickly responded and hurriedly retreated with the others.
Yunshang closed her eyes and let Qianyin help her change her clothes, but she went through the events one by one in her mind, and intuitively felt that Xia Houyan's actions this time must be closely related to Xia Houjing.
Jingyang... these two words kept flashing in Yun Shang's mind. Compared with Kangyang, even if the Xia army captured Jingyang, it would be very difficult later. Why would they abandon Kangyang and take Jingyang?
Prince Jing is now in Jingyang City. Will something happen to him? Yun Shang bit her lip. When she thought of this, she felt as if her heart was being pulled by someone and it hurt.
"Princess, okay." Qianyin's voice suddenly came, with a bit of blame, "Why is the princess so unprotected? If the prince finds out, I'm afraid he will be angry again."
"Your Majesty..." Yun Shang murmured, but a thunderbolt struck in his mind, Prince Jing!
Yun Shang stood up suddenly. She understood that the reason why Xia Houyan abandoned Kangyang and took Jingyang City, which did not have any advantage, was because of King Jing!
After thinking about this matter, I came to understand some of the crux of the matter. Xia Houyan and Xia Houjing have been communicating frequently recently. It is probably because of Prince Jing and Prince Jing's life experience.
If Prince Jing's life experience is revealed, the person who poses the biggest threat is Xia Houyan. After all, Xia Houyan is now the eldest son of the Emperor and Queen of Xia Kingdom, but now that Prince Jing's life experience is revealed, Xia Houyan's identity as the eldest son may have to be given up.
The throne was given to Prince Jing. Based on this calculation, the person who should inherit the throne of the crown prince most is Luo Qingyan.
Xia Houjing knew about this, and naturally understood the truth, so he told Xia Houyan about it, just to sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.
How could Xia Houyan be willing to give up the position of crown prince that he had worked so hard to give to someone else, not to mention that this person was Prince Jing, whom he had always regarded as a strong enemy. Then, before the Emperor of Xia knew the news,
Kill Prince Jing. After all, Prince Jing is still the prince of Ning State and the enemy of Xia State. Even if the Emperor of Xia State knows about this in the future and asks about it, Xia Houyan will have reasons to evade it.
Because he knew that King Jing was in Jingyang, Xia Houyan could not wait to lead his troops straight to Jingyang, just to kill King Jing.
Prince Jing...Prince Jing...Yun Shang bit her lip and felt unspeakable pain in her heart. If it weren't for her taking it lightly, how could Xia Houyan have taken advantage of it and fall into Liu Yinfeng's blind trick.
Although Yun Shang was very confused in her heart, she also understood that this was not the time to blame herself. She must not mess with herself first. She hurriedly walked to the desk, wrote two letters, sealed them in a hurry, and handed them over.
The secret guard asked the secret guard to quickly send this letter to the imperial city and hand it into the hands of Emperor Ning and Concubine Jin.
She had to prepare for the worst. If Prince Jing's life experience was revealed and his father knew about it, Prince Jing's situation would definitely get worse.
Li Jingyan, as a first-class civil servant in the Ning Kingdom, turned out to be a spy of the Xia Kingdom. Such a blow to Emperor Ning was already very serious. If he knew that Prince Jing was actually the prince of the Xia Kingdom, it would be difficult not to do something bad.
Thinking about it, after all, Prince Jing was a child picked up by the late Emperor when he was very young. In recent years, he has held a large number of soldiers. Emperor Ning almost handed over the safety of the entire Ning Kingdom to his hands. If Emperor Ning decides beforehand,
Prince Jing is a person sent by Xia Guoan, so he will definitely kill Prince Jing.
In the past, Xia Houyan was looking at him with eager eyes, and in the future, Emperor Ning turned against him. I am afraid that by then, Prince Jing will really be in danger.
Yun Shang had to write a letter to explain the matter before the news reached Emperor Ning's ears. He also stated that King Jing had not known about the matter before, persuaded Emperor Ning to support King Jing in returning to Xia Kingdom to seize the throne, and told him
Emperor Ning, if Prince Jing becomes the Emperor of Xia, he will definitely not be an enemy of Ning State, but will bring certain benefits to Ning State.
She also told Concubine Jin about the matter at the same time, so that Concubine Jin could blow some wind in Emperor Ning's ear.
After the letter was handed over to the secret guard and sent away, Yun Shang asked the secret guard to go to Jingyang quickly to report the letter, tell King Jing about the matter, and told him that he would definitely lead troops to support him.
After everything was settled, Qi Lang had already changed his clothes and entered the camp.
As soon as Yun Shang saw him, he hurriedly asked, "General Qi, how many soldiers are there in the camp to dispatch now?"
Qi Lang responded quickly, "Less than one hundred thousand."
Yun Shang fell silent after hearing this, and stood up suddenly after a while, "I'm afraid I can't wait for them to come back. Now that all the Xia troops have gone to Jingyang, there is no danger in Kangyang. I will take them first
These less than 100,000 soldiers rush to Jingyang. I will leave Qianyin and half of the secret guards in the camp. If the other generals come back, I will trouble General Qi to order the eldest son of Qi to lead 50,000 people to stay at the Kangyang camp.
General Qi quickly came with other soldiers to support him."
Qi Lang was silent for a moment and then agreed. Yun Shang no longer cared about anything else. After leaving the camp, he asked his soldiers to go to the school grounds to take all the soldiers with him. He hurried out of the camp and rushed to Jingyang. (To be completed.)
