Yun Shang left the garden and passed a stage on the way back to the yard. The stage was already a little worn out. Yun Shang pondered for a moment and then said, "Let's tidy up the stage."
Peilan turned his head to look at the stage and quickly responded.
After returning to the house, Hua'er hurriedly greeted him, and Yun Shang asked, "Has Bao'er fallen asleep?"
Hua'er nodded: "The little prince is already asleep. Madam, there is a flying pigeon passing a letter from Liu Cang." Hua'er said, and handed a small rolled letter to Yun Shang.
Yun Shang took it, opened it and took a look, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Very good, Qian Liu and Zheng Qiming had gained Xia Houjing's trust after returning to Liu Cang. But what surprised Yun Shang was that,
The letter also mentioned that Xia Houjing actually proposed marriage to Qianliu's uncle, hoping to marry Qianliu as his concubine.
The smile on Yun Shang's lips was a bit colder. She had heard before that Xia Houjing married many concubines in Liucang in order to win over the aristocratic families in Liucang, Nanyang and other places.
Yun Shang suddenly thought of Hua Yutong, wondering what kind of life she was living now. But after all, Hua Yutong's father still had an official position, and his reputation in those places was not low, so he should not be left out in the cold.
.However, even if the position of the head wife is kept, she will have to arrange happy events for her husband every once in a while, and watch one woman after another being married into the house, I am afraid that she will not be easy.
If she had known this, why bother. She had given Hua Yutong a chance more than once. If Hua Yutong had chosen to follow Yun Shang's arrangements, now Hua Yutong would have escaped, and maybe she would have already
A good match. But Hua Yutong insisted on it. Even so, she couldn't be blamed.
But now, Xia Houjing wants Qianliu to marry him as his concubine, but things are a bit tricky. And the letter has to be delayed for several days on the way. I don't know what the situation is now. If Xiahoujing wants to marry, he will definitely leave Liu before leaving.
She had married Cang before and would definitely not let Qian Liu have time to wait for her reply. Moreover, Yun Shang was not in Liu Cang City and did not know the details. She could not give any detailed ideas. Therefore, Qian Liu was
The letter only reported the matter and did not ask Yun Shang what to do.
But this matter is indeed a dilemma. If he agrees, it will be unfair to Qianliu. But if he doesn't agree, Xiahou Jing will definitely feel that Qianliu's uncle has no intention of forming an alliance with him and doing things for him.
Will be suspicious.
Yun Shang held the letter tightly in her hand for a few minutes, crumpled it into a ball after a while, handed it to Hua'er and told her to deal with it.
Yun Shang walked into the room and sighed softly, but she could only comfort herself secretly in her heart. Fortunately, it was Qianliu. Qianliu had a calm temperament and was someone who knew strategies and calculations. He would definitely be able to make the best decision according to the situation.
Good choice.
No matter how anxious Yun Shang was, now that the dust had settled, Yun Shang was worried that it would be of no use, so he simply put the matter out of his mind and rummaged around on the bookshelf.
Now after walking around the camp, Yun Shang also discovered that the situation on the battlefield was probably not too good. Fortunately, when she left Jincheng before, she thought that this time she would be marching for a battle, so she ordered Qian Zhui to carry out the previous battle.
She brought the formation book given to her by Mr. Qingcang.
Yun Shang searched for a while, then saw the books, took them down together and put them on the table.
Among all the formations, the most suitable for this battle is the ambush formation from ten sides. The ambush formation from ten sides is to lure the enemy to a designated place, such as the stone forest that Yun Shang found this time. After luring the enemy deep,
, use traps, poisons, or assassinations to fight the enemy, and then deliver a fatal blow when the enemy is exhausted physically and mentally.
The formation has no fixed form. It is set up according to the sky, earth, and people, usually with the help of special terrain. Only a few commonly used formations are drawn in the book.
Yun Shang curled her lips, "Excellent, this is it."
Excellent, excellent. Poisoning is what she is good at. Assassination is what secret guards are good at. As for traps, they are all very heavy and she knows them all. This formation seems to be tailor-made for this battlefield.
generally.
Yun Shang took the picture of the stone forest that he drew yesterday and started planning.
The layout of the formation is secondary. In fact, the most important thing about this ambush formation is the process of luring the enemy into the formation.
As long as the enemy enters that formation, everything will be easy.
Peilan walked in from the outside, frowning slightly, looking at Yun Shang with some worry and said: "My Lady, is there a fight? This slave can vaguely hear the sound of war drums and horns, as well as the cry of killing."
Yun Shang heard this and asked Peilan to push the window open. As Peilan said, the sound of horse hooves, shouts of death, and the sound of war drums, although only vaguely visible, made people feel a little worried.
The noise outside was heard all day and night, and Yun Shang could not sleep well at night. She woke up early the next morning, called Peilan, put on her clothes, and went out with the secret guard again.
Yun Shang went straight to the stone forest this time. After spending a whole day in the stone forest, she also made some discoveries. The fog in the stone forest will be stronger in the morning and evening, especially in the early morning.
, almost entered the stone forest, and could not see anything.
Yun Shang also set up one by one according to the situation of the stone forest, where to place poison, where to set up traps, and where to arrange assassinations. There can't be many people in the stone forest, just a few hundred secret guards. Yun Shang will do it.
The purpose of the tens of thousands of elite soldiers that Chang Qiu brought was to lure the enemy into the battle.
Yun Shang stayed in the forest until it got dark, and then took the secret guard down the mountain. However, before reaching the foot of the mountain, he heard footsteps faintly. Yun Shang winked at the secret guard and jumped up.
He went to the fork of a tree in the forest and hid.
Yun Shang heard voices coming from below, using the language of Yelang Kingdom.
Yun Shang could only understand a small part, which seemed to be saying that the terrain of Xia Kingdom was too complicated, the Phoenix Mountain was too high, and the road was too difficult to walk, so the army might not be able to come.
Another person retorted: "It is precisely because of this that Xia Guo could not have guessed that they would kill them from Phoenix Mountain, so that they could be caught off guard."
Yun Shang couldn't guess what the rest of it meant.
Yun Shang roughly guessed that the Yelang Kingdom wanted to make a surprise attack from Phoenix Mountain, bypass the camp, and directly attack the area behind Xia Kingdom's Lingxi City.
Yun Shang curled her lips coldly, and Cang felt that Qing Su was playing a good chess game.
But if Cangjue Qingsu had such a plan, it was exactly what she wanted. If the Yelang Kingdom's army entered the Phoenix Mountain, she would definitely make it impossible for any of them to get out.
"Cuckoo..." A voice came, and Yun Shang looked up, but it was the secret guard asking her if she wanted to take action.
Yun Shang shook his head gently. If Cangjue Qingsu knew that she was also secretly exploring the terrain of Phoenix Mountain, I'm afraid he would also think twice before deciding to march from Phoenix Mountain.
Below, the spies from the Yelang Kingdom gradually moved away. Yun Shang and the secret guard jumped down from the tree and returned to the city guard's mansion very quickly.
There was also a busy scene in the city guard's mansion. The west garden had been covered with cloth. From time to time, someone came out carrying a frame filled with soil and put the frame on the carriage.
Yun Shang didn't go to check and went back to the house directly.
Hua'er was coaxing Bao'er to sleep, but Bao'er seemed unwilling to cooperate. He kept crawling around on the bed. When he saw Yun Shang coming in, he became even more cheerful and stretched out his hand towards Yun Shang.
Come on.
Yun Shang laughed helplessly, patted Bao'er's butt and said, "Little naughty boy, I know how to torment your sister Hua'er."
Bao'er burst out laughing, Yun Shang shook her head, picked up Bao'er, patted her back gently and coaxed her, raised her head and asked Hua'er, "Is it better to be outside today?"
Are there constant sounds of war drums and horns?"
Hua'er thought for a while and then responded softly: "It was still there in the morning, but I didn't seem to hear it much in the afternoon."
Yun Shang nodded, feeling worried in her heart, not knowing what the situation was like.
Peilan prepared food for Yun Shang and brought it in. Yun Shang put Bao'er on the bed, walked to the table and sat down. Peilan thought about what happened in the garden, then excused herself to Yun Shang, and hurriedly
Busy out of the house.
Yun Shang suddenly stopped when she heard Peilan's footsteps, followed by a greeting: "Hail, Your Majesty."
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, then turned back to look at the door, and saw Luo Qingyan walking in. Her clothes were neat and tidy, and there was no mess in sight. Yun Shang breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and asked for Luo Qingyan.
He poured a cup of tea and asked, "How is the situation?"
After a pause, he said again: "Can we have dinner?"
Luo Qingyan smiled, nodded and said, "I used it in the camp, everything is fine."
Yun Shang understood that Luo Qingyan didn't want her to worry too much, but when she saw his appearance, which was neither injured nor haggard, Yun Shang's heart dropped. She just hoped that Luo Qingyan would be fine, and nothing else
Yes, if he wanted to say something, she would listen; if he didn't want to, she wouldn't ask.
"Why are you having dinner so late?" Luo Qingyan sat down opposite Yun Shang and asked softly.
Yun Shang raised the corner of her mouth and smiled and said: "I went to Phoenix Mountain today. I took a look and found that it is most appropriate to use an ambush formation from ten sides. I went to see which places are suitable for traps and which ones."
The place is suitable for assassination."
Luo Qingyan curled her lips: "Don't be too tired."
Yun Shang knew Luo Qingyan's worries, so she nodded in agreement, and after thinking for a while she said: "When I went down the mountain today, I met spies from the Yelang Kingdom, and it seems that they also came to inquire about Phoenix Mountain.
The terrain. I heard what they said, and it seemed that I wanted to go from Phoenix Mountain, bypass Lingxi, and directly attack the city behind Lingxi. I also wanted to find a time to discuss with Your Majesty how to conquer Yelang Kingdom.
The soldiers were led into Phoenix Mountain and joined the concubine’s House of Flying Daggers." (To be continued)
