After Yun Shang finished speaking, he told Luo Qingyan and Zhao Yingjie in detail about the thatched hut and the old couple in the thatched hut in Langya Mountain. Zhao Yingjie listened for a while, but still had a dull look on his face.
, somewhat confused and said: "From what the Empress described, there is nothing wrong with those two people? They are fifty or sixty-year-old old men who live in thatched huts and don't know martial arts. They should be ordinary people."
Yun Shang shook his head, "The two of them are definitely not ordinary people."
"I say this, and there are three evidences. One is that the old lady was choosing vegetables. I looked carefully. She picked a long section of the wild vegetables she picked. If she were an old lady from an ordinary family, and this was a time of war,
, it is definitely impossible to waste it like this, and it will be fried and eaten with the roots. Secondly, the old lady washes the vegetables and throws the vegetables directly into the bucket. There is still soil on the vegetables, and there is still some in the bucket she throws.
More than half a bucket of water. If you want to get water around that thatched house, you have to walk two miles to get water from a small stream in the mountains. How can the water that these two old people worked so hard to get be like this?
waste?"
Yun Shang raised her eyes and glanced at Zhao Yingjie before continuing: "Thirdly, if they are the people nearby, they must be familiar with Langya Mountain. I asked them which direction Lucheng is heading, and the old man pointed me to the north.
To the north is the country of Yelang."
Hearing this, Zhao Yingjie suddenly felt a bit of evil in his eyes: "Your Majesty saw through the spy, why didn't you just tie those two people down the mountain so that the general can interrogate them?"
When Yun Shang heard this, he shook his head: "I'm not sure how many people in the mountains are like them, hiding in the mountains as refugees to investigate the situation of our army. It would be a bad idea to act rashly and alert the snake."
"This matter still needs long-term consideration, but we must find out those details one by one as soon as possible and get rid of them all. Otherwise, even if the military defense map is not lost, our garrison points hidden everywhere will be extremely easy to be discovered.
Just like the old couple we found today, the thatched house they live in is only two or three miles away from one of our garrison points. I'm afraid that garrison point has already been exposed to Cangjue Qingsu's eyes." Yun Shang
He took out the map and pointed at the red dot that he had marked with his fingernail before: "That's it."
"General, I will send someone to evacuate the soldiers from this place." Zhao Yingjie said quickly.
Yun Shang nodded, and Luo Qingyan raised his eyes and ordered: "We must proceed quietly, but do not move the original camp. Leave seven or eight hundred people there to continue to guard, to confuse and work carefully."
Zhao Yingjie quickly agreed. Yun Shang lowered his head and looked at the long map on the table. After a moment of silence, he said again: "When I was checking the terrain today, I suddenly remembered that the Battle of Kangyang
At that time, because of that war, I also studied the formation method with Mr. Qingcang for a period of time. I felt that it seemed that this formation method was most commonly used on the battlefield by Xia Xia.
country, followed by Ning country. And Yelang country seems not to be good at this?"
Luo Qingyan said "Yeah", "The people of Yelang Kingdom feel that they have strong soldiers and horses, and all the soldiers are strong warriors, so they are invincible. Moreover, the minds of the people of Yelang Kingdom are slightly weaker than our common people."
Some, so they are not good at formations."
"Your Majesty, what do you think, let's use formations to defeat the enemy?" Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at Luo Qingyan, with light shining in her eyes.
Luo Qingyan laughed when he heard this: "Of course it's good, but it takes a long time to set up the formation..."
When Yun Shang thought of this method, she knew that Luo Qingyan would be worried about this matter, so she smiled and said: "Your Majesty can choose to have 20,000 elite soldiers, and I will arrange the troops. What do you think?"
Luo Qingyan's eyes were a little gentle, and she said with a smile: "I can't bear to have you so tired."
When Yun Shang heard this, the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up, and her face felt a little hot. She glared at Luo Qingyan, turned her head, and found that Zhao Yingjie had quietly left the commander's camp at some point.
"Your Majesty's ability to speak sweet words has improved a lot now. Since I came with your Majesty, I hope to contribute my own strength and end this war as soon as possible. Compared with the conspiracy and calculations in the court,
, I prefer this kind of battlefield."
Yun Shang had already said this, and Luo Qingyan had no reason to refuse, so he nodded and said: "I will ask Zhao Yingjie to prepare it later, but you have to promise me that no matter what, it will not affect you."
Get some rest, your health is important."
Yun Shang agreed with a smile, then walked behind the table, moved a stool and sat down next to Luo Qingyan. Looking at the map in Luo Qingyan's hand, Yun Shang found that in addition to the red dots before, and the Yelang Kingdom army
Luo Qingyan also used vermillion ink to draw a red circle on the top of the mountain where he was located, connecting the location of the Yelang Kingdom's army with the city guard's mansion in Lingxi City with a line.
Yun Shang was a little confused. She pointed at the line and turned to look at Luo Qingyan's side face: "Your Majesty, what does this line mean?"
Luo Qingyan laughed when he heard this: "Madam, look, how far is it from the city guard's house to the garrison point of Yelang Kingdom?"
Yun Shang carefully looked at the length of the line and frowned slightly: "It looks like it's less than five miles away."
Luo Qingyan nodded: "Madam is very smart, and she guessed right. It's almost five miles away, which is not far away. It's just because the cliff is steep and acts as a natural barrier. Cang Jue Qingsu calculated correctly that we can't
To cross that barrier and directly attack their camp, I feel so confident. I want to do something that sounds a bit ridiculous, but I'm afraid I need my wife's help for this."
"Oh?" The surprise in Yun Shang's eyes deepened. Luo Qingyan had been married to her for such a long time, and it seemed to be the first time that Luo Qingyan told Yun Shang in such a serious manner that he needed Yun Shang's help for something.
Yun Shang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please speak."
Luo Qingyan leaned close to Yun Shang's ear, lowered her voice and whispered a few words into her ear. A slight surprise appeared in Yun Shang's eyes at first, and the surprise became stronger and stronger. After a while, Luo Qingyan stepped away a little.
, Yun Shang turned her head and raised her voice a little: "How long will this take?"
Luo Qingyan raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "If there are few people, it may take about a month, but if there are many people, it can be done in more than ten days. I don't ask for more leniency or kindness, as long as it can barely accommodate two people walking.
That’s all.”
Yun Shang bit her lip, with a look of deep thought in her eyes.
After a long time, Yun Shang patted the table and said, "I am willing to do this."
Luo Qingyan laughed when he heard the words, with a bit of joy coming from the bottom of his heart in his eyes. He hugged Yun Shang's shoulders with a smile, and said with a slight tremor in his voice: "I know that only my family
Madam, I am willing to accompany my husband to go crazy, no matter how absurd and unbelievable things sound, I am willing to do it."
Yun Shang lowered her eyes with a smile. After a while, she remembered that Luo Qingyan said before that he wanted to move to the camp. Then he stood up and said: "I, it's time for me to return to the city to guard the mansion. I have been gone for a day today."
, he is also a little tired, and Bao'er has just moved to another place. The climate in Lingxi City is completely different from that in Jincheng, and I don't know if he can adapt to it."
There was a bit of reluctance in Luo Qingyan's eyes, but she nodded lightly: "Okay, be careful on the road."
Yun Shang nodded, glanced at Luo Qingyan, and whispered a few instructions before standing up and leaving the commander's camp, leading the secret guards to the city guard's mansion.
After returning to the city guard's mansion, Peilan hurriedly greeted him. Yun Shang threw the horse's reins to the soldiers guarding the door, then turned around and told the secret guard: "Go down and have a rest." Then he entered the mansion.
"Is everything okay in the house today?" Yun Shang asked softly.
Peilan responded repeatedly and answered Yun Shang's questions softly: "The things we brought have basically been packed away. I ordered people to clean the yard thoroughly, and it is now ready. The little prince is very good, although he wakes up
I didn't see my empress feeling a little disappointed after that, but she never cried or fussed."
Yun Shang was amused by Peilan's words: "Lost? Bao'er is so young, how can you tell that he is lost?"
Peilan was stunned, but couldn't answer.
After a while, he continued to report: "In the evening, a message came from flying pigeons."
Yun Shang paused slightly and asked, "What did the letter say?"
"I dare not break it," Peilan responded in a low voice.
Yun Shang nodded and walked faster.
After returning to the yard, Peilan quickly handed the letter to Yun Shang. Yun Shang took the letter and glanced at it quickly, but frowned slightly. Peilan looked at Yun Sang's expression carefully and did not dare to ask what happened.
What.
Yun Shang put the letter aside and snorted coldly: "This Xia Houjing is really good at looking for opportunities. As soon as we arrived at Lingxi City, he set off to sneak into Jincheng quietly and wait for the opportunity."
Peilan was startled and exclaimed: "The seventh prince has returned to Jincheng? Now that your majesty and empress are not in the palace, isn't Jincheng in danger?"
Seeing Peilan making such a fuss, Yun Shang couldn't help laughing, and slowly folded the letter paper again: "How can it be that easy? Isn't the King Xian here now? And the Duke of Hua is also here, and there are
Among the ministers in the court, after Your Majesty ascended the throne, he replaced many of his own people and placed them in important positions. Today's Jincheng is no longer a world that Xia Houjing is familiar with. It will be difficult for him to start an uprising."
"Qian Qianliu and Zheng Qiming are both here." Yun Shang narrowed his eyes, hoping that they would not betray Yun Shang's trust.
Peilan bit her lip and then asked softly: "My Lady, do you want to send someone to deliver this letter to your Majesty in the camp?"
Yun Shang thought for a while and shook his head: "It's already getting late, so forget it. Let's send someone there early tomorrow morning. There's no rush at this moment."
Peilan nodded, and Yun Shang turned around and ordered: "By the way, I'm afraid we have to live in this city guard's mansion for a while. I see that this city guard's mansion is quite big. I want to stay here."
A lake is being dug in the city guard's mansion. You can go and have a look tomorrow to see where it is more suitable to dig." (To be continued)
