The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 784 The reason why there is no news

Leaving aside the last fake Guishui, Su Yunduo naturally calculated her due date according to the expected date calculation method in her previous life, and knew that her due date should be at the end of August and the beginning of September.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he finally received a letter from Lu Mingyang after he arrived in Beibian City. At the same time, Su Yunduo also received a letter from Yang Aoqun that had been interrupted for nearly a month, and finally let Su Yunduo know the reason why Lu Jinkang hadn't heard from him and Yang Aoqun's letters had suddenly stopped.

It turned out that in order to break the stalemate war, after discussion, it was decided that Lu Jinkang, Lu Kun, and Ning Zhongping would lead a team of elite soldiers over the continuous Boni Mountains, across the Boni Lake known as the dead lake, and go straight to the rear of Beichen Kingdom.

The Boni Mountain Range stretches for hundreds of miles, and it is the common barrier between the two countries. The mountains are high and the forest is deep, and it is easy to get lost. Fortunately, Su Yunduo found out that Lu Jinkang would sooner or later become the guarding general of the northern city, so he found the telescope and the North Pointer. Needle, although compared with the telescope and compass in the previous life, the telescope and compass that Su Yunduo tried to find are really simple and simple, but they are rare and rare things in this era.

The telescope and compass were only delivered to Su Yunduo years ago. Seeing such a simple telescope and compass, Su Yunduo really wanted to make some changes, but it's a pity that although she knows medicine and medicine, she has the principles of mechanics and optics. She didn't know much, and even if she knew it, she couldn't say it openly, so she had to offer some suggestions with surprise and disgust.

Lu Jinkang attached great importance to these two things, and specially asked the people in the mansion who are proficient in mechanics to study these two things to see if they can be improved.

Because of the short time, when Lu Jinkang escorted the medical liquor to set off, only a few of these two things were imitated, and minor improvements were made.

The improved telescope and compass are not only more convenient to carry around, but the most surprising thing is that the function of indicating direction is more stable after the improved compass.

When Lu Jinkang went to the northern city, he naturally took the imitated telescope and compass to the northern city.

Lu Jinkang asked for orders to go deep behind the enemy's rear with the team. At the beginning, Lu Da reluctantly agreed. After all, Lu Jinkang was in charge of the future of the Duke of Zhenguo. However, under Lu Jinkang's insistence, he personally experienced the powerful functions of the telescope and compass. Coupled with the strong joining of Lu Kun and Ning Zhongping, in order to break the deadlock as soon as possible, they had no choice but to let Lu Jinkang go deep behind the enemy with the team.

It's just that Lu Jinkang and others went there, but there was no news for more than two months.

The battle for the northern city became more and more intense. Beichen Kingdom once again mobilized 10 troops, and the number of troops besieging the northern city increased to nearly 30. However, the Dongling Kingdom's army in the northern city and the reinforcements that came to it were only 20. number.

Because the northern city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even though Beichen Kingdom stepped up its offensive, the battle is still stalemate, but the situation in the northern city has become more and more serious.

At this time, for the safety of the people in the city and the safety of the family members accompanying the army, Lu Da had to consider temporarily letting the people in the city evacuate to Yongcheng, the second line of defense behind the northern city.

Yang Aoqun suddenly interrupted the communication with Su Yunduo, precisely because she was busy with evacuation and resettlement. On the one hand, she had to take care of the children, on the other hand, she had to appease Xiao Xu and Pei, who had never faced war before, and also took time to meet with other The family members of the generals of the same rank comforted the people who had evacuated their homes and other family members accompanying the army, and they were naturally too busy to touch the ground.

When Lu Mingyang personally escorted the war supplies, he suddenly realized that he had not written to Su Yunduo for a while.

Of course, there is another reason for interrupting the communication with Su Yunduo, that is, being unable to answer Su Yunduo's inquiry in the letter. After all, the reason why Lu Jinkang is not in Beibian City is unknown to her.

Even if Lu Jinkang gave her seven or eight letters before leaving Beibian City and asked her to deliver them to the capital in order, Yang Aoqun, who grew up in Beibian City, knew that she could only follow through but not talk about it.

It's just that when she sent the letter on behalf of Lu Jinkang, she still didn't see Lu Jinkang coming back, and even if Su Yunduo didn't directly ask about Lu Jinkang's situation in the correspondence with her, she began to ask more and more about the situation in the border town.

Although Yang Aoqun has a bit of a carefree temper, he is a smart person.

Although no one told her about Lu Jinkang's whereabouts, she could see some clues from Lu Jinzhen's tighter and tighter brows. The sudden disappearance of Lu Jinkang from Beibian City must be extraordinary.

In the past, Yang Aoqun always looked forward to receiving letters from Su Yunduo, but now Yang Aoqun is most afraid of receiving letters, because she doesn't know how to reply to Su Yunduo's letters.

Because Su Yunduo is too sensitive and smart, she is very afraid that Su Yunduo will notice the clue if she is not rigorous enough. After all, Su Yunduo's body is getting heavier and heavier now!

The war supplies escorted by Lu Mingyang arrived in Yongcheng, and he naturally met with Mrs. Xu and Yang Aoqun. Although it was still impossible to get definite news from the female relatives, he learned from the flickering words of the guards who protected these female relatives. He saw the clues in his dodge eyes, and the speculation since losing the news of Lu Jinkang was brought back to be confirmed.

The anger in Lu Mingyang's heart was really indescribable, he knew that Lu Jinkang must lead people to find a way to go deep behind the enemy's rear!
Lu Mingyang has been stationed in Beibian City for decades. In order to better attack the Beichen Kingdom, he sent scouts and elite soldiers to explore the Boni Mountain Range. However, the steepness in the depths of the Boni Mountains makes it almost a narrow escape every time you enter the mountain.

For this reason, when Lu Da took over the heavy responsibility of stationing in his hands, Lu Mingyang once solemnly warned Lu Da that he must not go deep into the Boni Mountains until he was completely sure. Lu Da actually sent Lu Jinkang to lead a team into the Boni Mountains. What made Lu Mingyang most angry was that Lu Da kept concealing the truth, and Lu Jinkang hadn't heard from him for two months.

Lu Da also didn't expect that there would be no news for two months after Lu Jinkang left, and the war with Beichen Kingdom would not change much except that Beichen Kingdom increased its troops again. Instead, he had to arrange for the people in the city and their family members to retreat to Yongcheng.

According to the plan discussed before departure, Lu Da only gave Lu Jinkang a month's time. Regardless of whether Lu Jinkang went into the Boni Mountains smoothly or not, he must return to camp within one month.

It's a pity that Lu Jinkang didn't hear from him after he entered the Boni Mountains with the team. As time passed, Lu Da's heart became more and more heavy, and with the arrival of Lu Mingyang, Lu Da felt that there were dark clouds over his head.

Lu Mingyang was indeed very angry. When he arrived in the northern city, he saw Lu Da with a disturbed face. He even wanted to give him a big slap. After all, he still had some sense in his heart. After all, he remembered that Lu Da was the commander-in-chief of the northern city, not the impulsiveness back then. children.

"Tell me, what's going on? Did someone send someone to look for Brother Kang and the others?" After sitting down in the handsome tent, Lu Mingyang stared at Lu Da and asked bluntly.

The old man came to the border town in person, so Lu Da dared to play tricks, so he informed Lu Mingyang of the decision made that day.

"Brother Kang won't let you send someone to pick him up, so you really don't care about it? You really are a good father in the world!" Lu Mingyang was concerned about the safety of Lu Jinkang and his group, and after hearing the report of helping Lu Da, he felt suppressed anger Burning again, the words that came out were ridiculed and resentful besides anger.

Lu Da remained silent. Seriously, Lu Jinkang and his group had no news for two months, so he was anxious and regretful. He should have thought of another way to break the battle, instead of allowing Lu Jinkang to cross the mud Of course, Lu Jinkang should not put himself in danger for the mountain range's strategy of penetrating behind enemy lines.

It's just that Lu Jinkang took out his treasured telescope and compass that day, which really made him unable to give up Lu Jinkang's scheme.

Those two things can be used to see things and scenes in the distance, and one can point out the direction, which is really easy to use!
It's just that I didn't expect that Lu Jinkang would go there for two months without hearing from him. The 200 people in Lu Jinkang's group are all elites in the army. In addition to Lu Jinkang and his personal guards, there are also Ning Zhongping and Lu Kun. Compared with Lu Jinkang, these two people have richer backgrounds That's why Lu Da agreed with Lu Jinkang to lead the team himself.

Lu Jinkang is the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Although he is highly regarded by the Holy Spirit, he still needs to have his own military achievements.

As for why he didn't send people into the mountain to respond, one is that Lu Jinkang did say something before he led the team into the mountain. For the safety of this trip, although Lu Jinkang only brought two binoculars when he set off, he took away everything he brought to the northern city this time. compass.

Without a compass, even sending someone into the mountain to respond will be useless.

Besides, with Beichen Kingdom dispatching troops and generals, Lu Da really couldn't spare any manpower to enter the mountain, so he could only follow the words Lu Jinkang left before entering the mountain, and focus on dealing with the war.

Lu Mingyang didn't know what Lu Da was thinking and the predicament he was facing, but he was really angry that Lu Daming underestimated the steepness of the Boni Mountains and the crisis in the depths of the mountains, and forgot what he had repeatedly told him. .

"I originally made an agreement with Brother Kang. No matter whether Brother Kang's trip is successful or not, he will return to the barracks at most one month, and Brother Kang also made proper arrangements before entering the mountain..." Lu Da was stared at by Lu Mingyang with hairs all over his body. Naturally, the more I speak, the more confident I become.

"A proper arrangement? Let brother Zhen's daughter-in-law send him a letter to the capital?! Why don't you just prepare the letters from the previous year!" Lu Mingyang scolded with a cold snort.

Lu Da was speechless.

He really wanted to tell Lu Mingyang the truth, but he had too many worries. Besides, before entering the mountain, Lu Jinkang warned him repeatedly that this matter must not be exposed.

Although Lu Jinkang took away two hundred elites, only a few major generals knew the purpose of Lu Jinkang's trip. It was thousands of miles away from the northern city to the capital. Absolutely safe, this is what Lu Jinkang wanted, and did not send letters to the capital.

Of course, he was also worried that Su Yunduo, who was getting heavier and heavier, would not be able to accept it, and would hurt the fetus in the womb, so Lu Da insisted on not sending the news back to the capital.

Only the three generations of Lu Mingyang, Lu Da, and Lu Jinzhen remained in the waiting account. Lu Mingyang yelled "kneel down" at Lu Da, and Lu Da knelt down in front of Lu Mingyang without saying a word.

Lu Da knelt down, and Lu Jinzhen, as a son, naturally couldn't stand, so he also knelt down in front of Lu Mingyang.

Lu Mingyang pointed at Lu Da and reprimanded him again. There was no news of Lu Jinkang and his party, which really made Lu Mingyang too angry.

Lu Mingyang understands better than Lu Da the reason why the Boni Mountains have become a natural moat. The depths of the mountains are too steep. If one is not careful, his bones may be lost. What's more, even if he has his life to cross the mountains, there is still a death on the other side of the mountains. The lake awaits!
Although Lu Mingyang failed to realize his great wish of crossing the Boni Mountains, he also went deep into Beichen Kingdom in plain clothes and saw the beauty of the Lake of Death. It was a strange lake that would sink to the bottom no matter what was thrown into the lake!

Lu Da was shocked when he heard this, and naturally became more and more worried about the safety of Lu Jinkang's team.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Lu Mingyang knows that no matter how angry he is, it will be useless. Now, only by breaking the deadlock in the war as soon as possible and defeating Beichen Kingdom, can he spare manpower to search and rescue Lu Jinkang and his party in the mountains.

Although Lu Jinkang and the others had carried dry food on their backs before entering the mountain, they did not bring much to lighten the burden. Now that it has been two full months, the dry food on their bodies must have been eaten up, even if there is no shortage of wild fruits in the mountain this season The wild animals are full, and they will naturally be more alive if they can be found sooner.

Lu Mingyang was already exhausted all the way, but now he didn't care about taking a break. Accompanied by Lu Da and others, he climbed up the city wall and personally observed the enemy's situation and the battle situation.

Lu Da handed over the telescope that Lu Jinkang left him to Lu Mingyang.

Although this telescope was only imitated by the skilled craftsmen of the Zhen Guogong Mansion, its clarity is quite good, and it can clearly see the movements of the soldiers in the enemy camp thirty miles outside the city.

The large tents of Beichen Kingdom stretched for several miles outside the city, and the tens of thousands of tents were indeed very imposing.

Of course, this aura can only bluff ordinary people, and it's only deaf to Lu Mingyang, who is used to wars. Of course, it's not so easy to break the deadlock.

As soon as the group of people came down from the city wall and sat down in the tent, they heard a noise outside first, and then there was a hurried "report" from outside the tent. Obviously, the messenger had already arrived in front of the tent.

"Broadcast!" Lu Da gave an order, and the reporter rushed in, bringing everyone an extremely unexpected news.

"Beichen Kingdom withdraws troops? How is that possible?!" Hearing the news, almost everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

So the group of people who had just sat down in the commander's tent hurried up the city wall again, and saw through the binoculars that the enemy camp thirty miles away was in chaos, but it didn't seem like they were withdrawing troops, it seemed that something had happened thing.

Then zoom out the camera to the distance, and I saw thousands of cavalry surrounded by a horse riding fast towards the capital of Beichen.

Lu Da, who was also observing with a telescope, naturally also saw the cavalry fleeing away, and the one in the middle was the Marshal of Beichen Kingdom!
The marshal who attacked Dongling Kingdom this time was the eldest prince of Beichen Kingdom. The fact that the eldest prince could directly leave the barracks and lead thousands of cavalry to drive back could only mean one thing, that is, something big happened to Beichen Kingdom!
