Luo Qingyan returned to the city guard's mansion in the evening, and it was just in time for dinner. Yun Shang ordered the kitchen to cook more food and took Luo Qingyan into the house.
"Why did you suddenly decide to withdraw back to the city?" Yun Shang curled her lips and did not hide her displeasure: "With the situation in the mansion now, and the army has returned to the city, wouldn't it be easy for others to discover it?"
Luo Qingyan listened to Yun Shang's words with a smile, and then responded softly: "I know, just be more careful with your actions. But if you want to lead Cang Jue Qingsu to Fenghuang Mountain, you have to give him a chance."
Yun Shang frowned, not understanding what Luo Qingyan wanted to say.
Luo Qingyan smiled and continued: "If you were Cang Jue Qingsu, and you heard that I suddenly ordered the army to withdraw to Lingxi City, what would be your first reaction?"
Yun Shang frowned, with a bit of suspicion in her eyes: "You have another conspiracy."
Luo Qingyan nodded lightly: "Did you know that the news of the Emperor and the Queen Mother's arrival in Lingxi has been blocked. After the Queen Mother arrived in Lingxi, she only went to find Zhao Yingjie."
Yun Shang was silent for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Luo Qingyan: "Your Majesty, you think you have something to do?"
Luo Qingyan laughed: "There must be fine work, but the position of this fine work is crucial. A few days ago, I and Zhao Yingjie carefully recalled the situation when the Emperor and the others disappeared, and I felt that
, there must be a trick among several generals. Several generals have been with Zhao Yingjie for the longest time, and Zhao Yingjie said that the Supreme Emperor and Hua Ling were once encountered by those people."
"How could they tell the difference between the Emperor and the Queen Mother just based on which side they were in?" Yun Shang's eyes were filled with doubts.
Luo Qingyan laughed: "Almost everyone in the Xia Kingdom knows about the scar on the Supreme Emperor's face. I heard that at that time, the Supreme Emperor did not use any method to cover his face."
Yun Shang frowned. Since Xia Huanyu knew that the scars on his face were too obvious, but did not cover them up, she always felt that Xia Huanyu was not entirely the victim of the disappearance.
"Aren't there so many secret guards around Xia Huanyu?" Yun Shang lowered her eyebrows and asked as if talking to herself.
Luo Qingyan was silent for a moment before responding: "Zhao Yingjie actually said that after they disappeared, the leader of the secret guards around him came to find Zhao Yingjie and said that they had also been deceived. But the specific details were not disclosed.
To elaborate, I just said that they will try their best to rescue the Supreme Emperor."
"He never showed up again?" Yun Shang raised an eyebrow.
Luo Qingyan nodded.
"Your Majesty felt that there must be a spy among those generals, so he ordered the army to withdraw to the city, just to make Cangjue Qingsu feel that something was fishy. He contacted Xizuo to investigate the situation. In that way, he could
Are you going to find out the details?" Yun Shang tilted her head and looked at Luo Qingyan, her eyes full of curiosity.
Luo Qingyan nodded again and responded: "This is the first, second, next, I will let Xi Zuo think that I retreated into the city because I suffered some losses because of the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother, so I want to think about it.
The solution is to rescue the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother first before waiting for the reinforcements to arrive, and there is no need to look forward and backward, and be unrestrained."
"And this third one is for the Queen's ambush." Luo Qingyan turned around and looked at Yun Shang with a smile.
Yun Shang was stunned, raised her hand and pointed at herself: "My ambush from all sides?"
Luo Qingyan nodded, and his smile became brighter: "The reason why I withdrew my troops back to the city is to better resist Yelang's attack and wait for reinforcements. Cangjue Qingsu will definitely go back to check, and now Xia's reinforcements
Wherever they are, the reinforcements are almost at Lingxi. Cangjue Qingsu understands that if we get reinforcements, the situation on the battlefield will not be like this."
Luo Qingyan put his hands behind his back and walked to the desk and stopped. There, Yun Shang had recently hung a map on the bookshelf. Luo Qingyan looked at the map and said calmly: "Cangjue Qingsu is not sure that he can reinforce the army."
If we are destroyed before they arrive, we will definitely find ways to block the reinforcements, and Phoenix Mountain is an opportunity."
When Yun Shang heard this, he realized something. Luo Qingyan said yesterday that he would be the one to lead the troops into the battle. It turned out that withdrawing the troops back to the city was the first step.
Yun Shang nodded lightly and laughed: "I have ordered the secret guards to leave the city first and enter the Phoenix Mountain to secretly train the ambush formation from ten sides. We can capture Cang Jue Qingsu only when he enters the urn."
Luo Qingyan turned around, looked at each other and smiled at Yun Shang.
It took three or four days for the army to withdraw to the city. In these days, Yun Shang had been peaceful. Because Yun Shang was digging a lake in the city guard's mansion, Yun Shang did not allow Luo Qingyan to bring the generals back.
The generals discussed the war. The generals thought that Luo Qingyan felt that it was inconvenient to have women in the house, so they said nothing and only used the yamen in the city to handle official affairs.
Yun Shang had nothing to do, so she took Bao'er for a walk around the Yamen. Occasionally, some good meals were cooked in the mansion, and when they were looking at the food, they would also send some over.
The generals in the army also became familiar with Yun Shang.
Because there are almost no veteran generals before, this group of generals are new generals who have been promoted from the army. They are young, and the oldest is less than forty. A few of them are young, and they usually fight and fight, creating an atmosphere.
It's quite easy.
There are three generals in total, including Lin Shen, the vanguard general, Qian Jun, the right-wing general, Wang Yuan, the left-wing general, and Zhao Yingjie, the center leader.
There were eight lieutenants, but Zhao Yingjie said that there were only three generals who saw Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling that day, so the lieutenants were basically excluded.
As soon as Yun Shang entered the main entrance of the Yamen, Wang Yuan was already shouting: "What delicious food has the Queen brought us?"
Yun Shang smiled. Wang Yuan was twenty-five years old. He was the youngest among the three generals. However, he was the number one scholar in martial arts three years ago. He had fought several battles since then. The last battlefield in Lingxi was
Above, there is him.
When Qian Jun heard this, he frowned and patted Wang Yuan on the head: "You are also shouting like this in front of the Queen, and you don't know the etiquette. Why don't you hurry up and salute the Queen?"
As Qian Jun said this, he cupped his hands towards Yun Shang, and everyone else in the room also quickly saluted.
Yun Shang said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, General Wang is lively and has achieved such great things at a young age. He will definitely have a bright future. Today I made braised pork and gave it to everyone to try. This is a special trip for the secret guards.
Wild boar meat hunted on Langya Mountain."
"Wild boar meat is the most fragrant. We used to secretly go to the mountains to hunt and hunt for tusks. According to military regulations, generals must eat the same food as soldiers. I couldn't bear it, so I secretly went up the mountain. But I was not lucky, so I only caught
A pheasant. But our Xia soldiers already have the best food, at least they don’t just have batter every meal." Wang Yuan said with a genuine smile.
"I broke military discipline and yet I dared to say it out without fear of others laughing at me." Qian Jun said coldly.
Lin Shen laughed: "Why didn't you tell me that after you came back, you were punished by General Zhao and had to run around the camp fifty times."
As soon as he said this, everyone in the room laughed.
Wang Yuan also raised his hand, touched his head and smiled.
Yun Shang ordered someone to bring the food in, and then said with a smile: "You can continue to discuss the war, I will leave first."
Yun Shang said and left the Yamen.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Yun Shang raised her head to look at the dazzling sunlight hanging in the sky. She lowered her head and thought that it had been some time since the secret guards entered Phoenix Mountain. She didn't know how the training was going.
Well, I can secretly go up the mountain to have a look tonight.
After returning to the city guard's mansion, Yun Shang took a nap for a while. As she was reading a book, she heard Peilan coming to report that General Qian Jun wanted to see him.
Yun Shang frowned slightly. Qian Jun was thirty-seven years old and was the most stubborn and rigid among the generals. But as Luo Qingyan said, there must be such a general in the army, otherwise there would be many rules
Unable to stand up.
Yun Shang thought, she had just returned from the Yamen less than two hours ago, why did Qian Jun come?
He ordered Peilan to bring Qian Jun in. Qian Jun hurriedly saluted, and then hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty asked the future to fetch a map."
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment. There were many maps in the camp. Why would Luo Qingyan let Qian Jun come to the house to get them?
Qian Jun seemed to understand Yun Shang's doubts and said quickly: "The map that was hung in the commander's camp was damaged when the army moved, and it is no longer usable."
After hearing this, Yun Shang agreed and asked Peilan to take down the one hanging on the bookshelf and handed it to Qian Jun.
Qian Jun took it, thanked him, turned around and was about to leave. He walked to the door, but paused for a moment, then turned slightly and looked at Yun Shang: "Empress, General
When I led my troops on a night patrol the day before yesterday, I discovered that someone was transporting soil from the city guard's mansion. When the general entered the house just now, he seemed to see a lot of construction work being carried out in the city guard's mansion?"
Yun Shang smiled: "It's not that big construction projects are needed, but it seems that Lingxi City is much hotter than Jincheng. Summer is coming, and I thought I would have to stay in Lingxi City for a while, so I wanted to stay here.
It will be a little cooler if we dig a lake in the city guard's mansion."
Qian Jun frowned, his eyes filled with disapproval: "What your Majesty did was somewhat inappropriate. Now is the time of war. As the mother of a country, I shouldn't do this at such a time.
Untimely things. If others know about it, it will definitely give rise to some excuses."
Hearing this, the smile on Yun Shang's face faded a bit: "What General Qian said is absolutely true, but I don't understand something. I am using my own secret guards to dig the lake.
It didn’t cost any money. Even though it’s a time of war, I’m just doing something like this. It doesn’t hurt my money or my life, but it’s not harmful.”
When Qian Jun heard what Yunshang said, he stopped trying to persuade him. He just smiled and said, "It's just a small suggestion. Don't blame me." After saying that, he cupped his hands and walked out. (Not finished yet.
