Liu Ming's eyes fell on Yun Shang, and after being silent for a long time, he said, "Princess Rui, tell me, now that the imperial guard deployment order is in the hands of Princess Rui, and Princess Rui has also found this place, there is no one who wants to say it or not."
Already."
Yun Shang smiled slightly, nodded, and told Liu Ming in detail what happened during this period. She also took out the map left by Luo Qingyan and handed it to Liu Ming, "The eldest princess's
The soldiers and horses were divided into nearly ten points, and they were hidden in these places. Each place had 20,000 to 30,000 people. There must be their own communication methods between these points. Once something happened in one place, they would quickly move towards other points.
Pass the signal and let the men and horses at other points either rescue or be on alert. Therefore, we must have enough men and horses to besiege these points at the same time and defeat them all in one fell swoop."
Liu Ming did not respond. He crossed his fingers on the map and looked at the map on the table intently. After a while, he raised his head and said, "It would be best if we can win it in one fell swoop as the princess said. But if we can't, we will
We must also find ways to prevent them from transmitting signals, so as to buy us time."
After Liu Ming finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Yun Shang, with a certain look in his eyes, "This map is here. Princess, let me tell you, if the princess were the eldest princess, what method would she use to transmit the signal, so that she could be in the same place at the same time?"
Time for everyone at other points to see?"
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and curled her lips slightly. This Liu Ming was not willing to suffer. Just now she took the token without saying a word and wanted to command the imperial guards. Liu Ming was polite to her, but
Because obeying the token in her hand is not obeying her. This time, it is a test of Yun Shang to see if she can really make the imperial guards surrender.
Yun Shang's eyes fell on the map. She had read it countless times and had almost memorized it firmly in her mind. However, she had never thought about how the eldest princess's soldiers and horses would attack.
connection.
If it is an ordinary method of communication, there are just a few types, such as fireworks, letters, pigeons, and some special sounds like she did with the secret guards, but these types have limitations. If the fireworks are in the daytime, they are almost invisible.
It cannot be seen. Letters and pigeons take a long time to transmit messages, and special sounds must be close enough to be heard.
These methods are obviously not ways for the eldest princess to communicate with her troops.
Yun Shang looked carefully at the several points marked by Luo Qingyan. Those points had no rules and were scattered around the Thousand Buddhas Monastery.
Yun Shang's hand trembled slightly. What did she think of just now? These dots were scattered near the Thousand Buddhas Monastery. Yun Shang narrowed her eyes. It was probably because the eldest princess usually visited the Thousand Buddhas Monastery in the name of believing in Buddhism.
There was more time, so these soldiers and horses were hidden near Qianfoyuan.
Yun Shang's hand fell on a point next to the Thousand Buddhas Monastery, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and a bright smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Fang raised his head, "I understand." Yun Shang said softly.
"Oh?" Liu Ming seemed to be looking at the tung oil lamp on the table in a daze, but when he heard Yun Shang's voice, he quickly turned his gaze and looked at Yun Shang, "Would you like to ask Princess Rui?"
Yun Shang smiled and pointed to a point near the Thousand Buddhas Monastery. Her voice was soft but somewhat confident, "This is the point near the Thousand Buddhas Monastery. I just discovered that although the other points don't look like much,
The pattern is basically centered on this point, scattered near or far around. And I found that Thousand Buddha Temple is built on the top of this mountain called Qilin Mountain, and Qilin is considered to be a hidden place.
Among these places of soldiers and horses, it is the highest place. Being at a high place, one advantage is that it can be seen from the surrounding low places, and it can also clearly see the situation of the surrounding low places."
Liu Ming nodded, "What the princess said is true, but she still didn't tell me how they communicated."
"Beacon fire." Yun Shang smiled slightly, with a calm face, as if he was confident, "Beacon fire messaging is actually used quite a lot on the battlefield. If the points near Qianfo Temple are attacked, all you need to do is light a damp fire high on Qilin Mountain during the day.
If you light the branches of the branches, there will be thick smoke. If you light the dry branches at night, there will be open flames. If you see the beacon fire on Qilin Mountain from these points around, you will know that something is wrong. If something happens anywhere around here, you only need to
If you light the beacon, you can see it from Qilin Mountain, and then pass the news to other places on Qilin Mountain, and then everyone will know."
After Liu Ming heard this, he smiled slightly after a long time, "I have always thought that the princess was outside Jingyang and Kangyang, which caused the Xia Kingdom's most knowledgeable military officer Liu to suffer losses. It was just a rumor in the market, and it was exaggerated. However,
I was surprised when I saw the princess’ response speed and ability just now.”
Yun Shang's eyes were still very calm, and she asked Liu Mingdao with a smile, "Then Commander Liu is willing to help me with this favor?"
Liu Ming knelt down on one knee and saluted Yun Shang with his hands raised, "I will be at the disposal of the princess."
Yun Shang smiled, stretched out her hand to help Liu Ming, smiled and said, "I am just a woman, I don't deserve such a gift from you, but this matter cannot be delayed. I know that it will take some time to gather the Imperial Forest Army."
Time, Commander Liu, can you tell me when we can take action?"
Liu Ming stood up, frowned and thought for a while before saying, "The princess can go out of the city tomorrow evening and wait for the general in the woods on the western outskirts."
Yun Shang was slightly startled, with a bit of surprise on his face.
Seeing this, Liu Ming hurriedly said, "If the princess feels it's too late, the general can go and gather people now, but since it's midnight, I'm afraid the slightest movement will attract attention."
Yun Shang quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, no, I'll do it tomorrow evening. I'm surprised that the time is so short. The actions of the imperial guards are really very fast."
Liu Ming seemed a little embarrassed to be praised by Yun Shang like this. He raised his hand and scratched his head and said with a shy smile, "The Royal Forest Army originally existed to protect the safety of Your Majesty and Jincheng. Although it is
They are in the dark, but they cannot be too far away. Therefore, the ordinary Imperial Guards actually live like ordinary people in Jincheng. During the peaceful times, they did not have a mission for several years, and they were really just like the common people.
, I go to visit with my neighbors to find some men who can make a living, and when I get older, I can get married and have children. Since they are all in Jincheng, it is not difficult to recruit them."
Yun Shang was stunned. As the saying goes, hiding in the city is the true meaning. Hiding soldiers and horses in the wild mountains and forests like the eldest princess did. Although it seems to be hidden enough, it is also extremely easy to find. Live like a common person.
, Yu Linjun is hiding in the market like this. I am afraid that ordinary neighbors who get along well will not believe it if they know that he is Yu Linjun.
Yun Shang smiled, cupped her hands towards Liu Ming and said, "In that case, the princess will wait for the good news from Commander Liu. She will wait for Commander Liu in the woods of the western suburbs tomorrow." After saying that, she stood up.
Farewell.
Liu Ming hurriedly sent Yun Shang out of the door. When Yun Shang hurried back to Qianshui Yiren Pavilion, it was already a little dark. Yun Shang washed up casually and had breakfast. Just as he was about to go out, he was stopped by Qianliu and Qianzhu.
He stopped her and said, "Princess, your health is not as good as before, and I'm afraid you won't be able to rest from tonight and will have to rush on the road. Princess didn't sleep all night last night, and we can't let you go out today no matter what.
You can just stay here and rest."
Yun Shang looked at the two of them helplessly, sighed, walked to the bed, took off her shoes and lay down on the bed, "Oh, I'm probably the first person to be so strictly controlled by a maid." She said.
He laughed, pulled up the quilt to cover himself, and whispered to Qianliu and Qianzui, "Please help me put down the bed curtain, it's too bright."
Qian Zui smiled and stepped forward to put down the bed curtain, and said to Yun Shang, "The maid from the mansion who came to buy things will be here in a while. I'll go take a look and ask how the mansion is doing."
Yun Shang responded softly, but also felt that her head was a little heavy. Once she closed her eyes, she could no longer open them and fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke up, it was already ten in the afternoon. Yun Shang opened the bed curtain, but did not see Qian Liu and Qian Zui, so she called out softly, and Qian Liu opened the door and walked in.
"Princess is awake?" Qianliu said with a smile, taking the clothes and waiting for Yun Shang to put them on, "These are the clothes that Sister Qianshui specially prepared for the princess. They are not like the wide robes with big sleeves that she usually wears, but they are also light and convenient.
action."
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "At times like this, I prefer men's clothes."
Qianliu was stunned for a moment before patting his head and saying, "I forgot that Sister Qianyin once said that the princess especially likes men's clothing when she goes out, so I will go and get ready. It's cold outside, so the princess should go back to bed and lie down."
.”
Qian Liu went out to have a drink and then walked in, "The maid who got up early today said that yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Liu went to visit the princess in the mansion. The housekeeper only said that the princess was taking a nap, and the doctor asked the princess to
You couldn't get out of bed at will, in case you might get pregnant, so Mrs. Liu sat down in the flower hall and left."
Hearing this, Yun Shang frowned and turned to look at Qian Zui, "Mrs. Liu? I have never had much friendship with her. Why would she come to Prince Rui's mansion to visit?"
Yun Shang was silent for a long time and then said, "Don't let your guard down at Liu Mansion these days. If there is anything unusual, order the secret guard to send a letter to report."
Qian Zui nodded and said, "I have heard that there are more and more rumors about Your Majesty in the streets today. Some people even say that Your Majesty is seriously ill and is no longer well. Some people also say that Your Majesty is missing and only
I'm afraid that something bad will happen. Because of these rumors, people everywhere are in panic, and there are frequent exchanges between officials..." (To be continued)
