Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 716 No reinforcements

in the chamber.

Liu Xiaojie paced back and forth, hitting his palms with his fists from time to time, appearing restless.

As soon as Yu Qinghuan walked in, Liu Xiaojie came to greet him. He didn't even have time to say a word of concern and went straight to the point: "Princess, something bad has happened! Xirong, who has always surrendered to us, has rebelled, and General Xu Shixun has to suppress it first."

Yu Qinghuan frowned: "General Xu Shixun?"

Liu Xiaojie was very frustrated, even a little desperate: "Princess, General Xu was ordered to come to Guiyan City to support, but he lost Xirong, which means that we have no reinforcements...the reinforcements will not come!"

Yu Qinghuan calmly listened to Liu Xiaojie's words, her expression did not change much, but her fists were clenched tightly. All of this showed her inner panic and uneasiness: "Don't worry, there will be a solution!"

Liu Xiaojie shook his head and gave up any hope: "There is no way... no more. If there was a way, the Marquis would not have used that method to bring life to Guiyan City more than ten years ago."

Bai Jie's tone was also very sad: "Princess, Guiyan City is located in the dry north with little water. There is no way to grow any food. Everything is transported and sold by caravans from the south. But now the Northern Qi army has sealed the city. If the caravan's path is cut off and reinforcements don't come, what will we eat? The soldiers have nothing to eat, so why should we fight?"

Seeing General Liu's excitement, Yang Qian quickly stood between him and Yu Qinghuan: "General, please be patient. The current situation is not the same as it was more than ten years ago. More than ten years ago, both the Marquis and the Princess were imprisoned. Trapped in the city, but now although the princess is in the city, she still has many friends outside the city, and she will not repeat the same mistakes she did more than ten years ago."

Yu Qinghuan said solemnly: "General, don't leak this beforehand. I will solve the problem of food and fodder."

Her words have the power to calm people's hearts, like a ray of warm sunshine, calming the fear and panic in people's hearts.

Liu Xiaojie was half relieved, and then he remembered to care about Yu Qinghuan: "Princess, are you okay?"

Yu Qinghuan didn't want to say too much, but just said: "It's okay, I got there in time, and both girls are fine."

Liu Xiaojie and others looked at Yu Qinghuan with more than simple admiration.

I wonder who here can break into the enemy alone and rescue two hostages who were kidnapped?
In their hearts, the princess is almost the embodiment of omnipotence.

Only Yu Qinghuan knew that she was still standing here alive at this time, not because of how powerful she was, but because she was a little clever in calculating people's hearts.

If Wu Ti hadn't wanted to keep her alive to deal with Chang Sun Tao, no matter how good her Qing Gong was, she still wouldn't have been able to escape from the hands of thousands of elite soldiers.

However, after the twin sisters were kidnapped and no reinforcements arrived, the last trace of worry in Yu Qinghuan's heart was gone.

I can't get through this moment, and I'm still thinking about things that haven't happened yet. Isn't it hypocritical?

So, she slowly sat on the throne and spoke out her plan: "Everyone, I have decided to implement a plan that will nearly annihilate the enemy's army..."

Wu Tiyin once again let Yu Qinghuan escape, and almost mistook the bearded man for a young girl. He felt angry in his heart. He ordered to speed up the filling of the soil. In just two days, Guiyan City had already appeared in front of him. A flat avenue.

But at this moment, the eldest prince and the third prince came to take credit.

"Wu Ti, your soldiers and horses have been filling in the soil for several days and are exhausted. Let us brothers fight the next battle for you, and let your soldiers and horses have a good rest."

Wu Ti's lips sneered: "Eldest brother, third brother, after I finish all the dirty work, brothers, you come and take advantage?" The eldest prince said: "Brother, I thought you were in trouble at the hands of a little girl. , I’m so angry that I didn’t expect my brain to work. You’re right, that’s what we meant, and you don’t have to argue. There’s no room for change in this matter, it’s just decided.”

The third prince sneered unabashedly: "Second brother, is it because you have the blood of the Qin people in your body that you are so weak and incompetent? Since you can't even handle a mere woman, my eldest brother and I will help you! It's just a matter of time. If you can't hold your head up in front of my father, my brother, I can't help you!"

Wu Ti said coldly: "What? Have you forgotten, third brother, that our trip is to get Chixia back from Great Qin? Do you want to disobey your father's order?"

The eldest prince laughed and said: "Second brother, do you really want to save that girl Chixia? If you listen to your father like this, you may not be weaned? Okay, you don't have to worry about conquering Guiyan City. Have a good rest and don't go out. It’s embarrassing!”

Wu Ti was about to argue, but Yu Qinghuan's cunning, fox-like smile flashed in his mind. By some mistake, he did not stop the eldest prince and the third prince.

The two princes thought he was cowarded, so they laughed and left his tent to order troops.

Because Wu Ti's mother is from Qin, he has been taught Qin culture by his mother since he was a child. He knows etiquette, justice, integrity, and 36 strategies. He will use some means to get what he wants.

But the eldest prince and the third prince are different. For them, plunder and war are the right things to do.

Because since they were born, they have been taught to fight, rob, kill, and take captives. They have not been influenced by ethics and education, and they do not know that these behaviors are wrong.

Etiquette can teach people to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil. They are not bound by etiquette. Naturally, there is no distinction between right and wrong in their hearts, only strong and weak.

War is their way of satisfying themselves.

Just like a mouse stealing food, it doesn't know it is stealing.

And Wu Ti, a brother who was half Qin and was good at conspiracy, was also unacceptable to them and was despised by them.

Wu Ti's confidants cursed angrily: "The eldest prince and the third prince and these two robbers are clearly bullying His Highness, why do you have to tolerate them?"

Wu Ti said: "It's not that I swallow my anger, but that I don't want my people to die like this."

Wu Ti's subordinates were puzzled: "Your Highness, what do you mean?"

Wu Ti said: "My intuition tells me that Princess Qi, a fox, must have a way to deal with it, but I can't guess what this little woman is thinking. My eldest brother and my third brother are willing to explore the way for me, which I can only ask for!"

Wu Ti's subordinate said: "Your Highness is right. We kidnapped two girls that day, and Princess Qi was able to rescue them unscathed. This shows that Princess Qi is not a simple woman, and we should be more careful. "

Wu Ti asked: "Have you found their route into the city?"

Wu Ti's subordinates said: "My subordinates led people to move around this place with a radius of dozens of miles. There is a fast river leading to the city, but the current is too fast and the people and horses cannot pass at all. My subordinates I would venture to guess that Princess Qi is still outside the city."

Wu Ti said: "Keep an eye on that river. The prime minister's son Sumutu is in the city. Wherever he is, everything is possible."

Sumutu is exactly the name of Baili Wuxiang in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
