After reading the whole family's minds, the eldest daughter awakened

Chapter 39 Li Youwei defeated the Dongzhou Army
  The shocked Marquis Wen An didn't care about the pain in his butt and climbed up from the bed.

"Son, what nonsense are you talking about? Are you crazy?"

At this moment, Zhou Tengfei was a big fool in the eyes of Marquis Wen An.

"Dad, I'm not kidding you. I will do what I say this time."

Marquis Wen'an looked at Zhou Tengfei carefully and then nodded.

"Okay, then Dad wants to see how long you can hold on."

Zhou Tengfei didn't expect that his father would not obey him this time. He shook his sleeves heavily and left the room angrily.

As soon as he left, Butler Zhou was called in.

"Master Marquis, I saw that the young master has just arrived. Why is he feeling uncomfortable?"

Marquis Wen'an waved his hand, "He's fine. I have something for you to handle now."

From now on, you are responsible for keeping an eye on Li Youwei and Nalan Ling, and remember not to take your eyes off them for a moment. "

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Butler Zhou responded simply, but in fact he was a little frightened. Those two were not ordinary women in the boudoir, and he really couldn't deal with them.

But this was a task assigned to him by the Marquis, and he had to complete it even while kneeling.

After Zhou Tengfei returned to his room, he personally took all his food to the street.

This frightened the person who was serving him. Could it be that the little Marquis didn't hurt his butt, but his brain?
  The people were grateful for Zhou Tengfei's good deeds and kept kowtowing to him.

Originally Zhou Tengfei was only forced to do this by Li Youwei and Nalan Ling, but now looking at the simple and hungry people who were only skin and bones, he really wanted to do something.

After returning from the street, he started a hunger strike and said he would not drink any water.

A day passed, and Marquis Wen'an couldn't sit still. That was his lifeblood. If he had any shortcomings, who would inherit the huge family fortune.

But there was not much food left. After giving it to these people, he had no choice but to return to the court. He came here to perform meritorious service, and naturally he did not want to return without success.

Wen Anhou thought about it and finally came up with a solution.

He planned to fight again in the next few days, and he must avenge his shame.

In order for Zhou Tengfei to eat, Marquis Wen'an had to distribute some food, but it was only enough for each household to eat for one day.

Although it is not very much, Wang Yi is already very satisfied, and he will just think of a solution next.

With the lessons learned from the last time, Marquis Wen'an planned to sit in the rear this time. He called Zhang Ye to discuss strategies to defeat the enemy.

"Master Marquis, it's better to let Li Youwei and Wang Yi take the lead this time. If we win, the credit will be yours. If we lose, let them bury their bones on the battlefield."

After hearing Zhang Ye's words, Marquis Wen'an smiled.

"Your suggestion is good, but will Li Youwei and Wang Yi be willing to give up the credit to me?"

Although Li Youwei is only the daughter of a fourth-grade official, she has the eldest princess and the dean of Hongru Academy behind her.

Although these people had no real power, they still had some prestige, and Marquis Wen An did not want any surprises to happen.

"Master Hou, you don't have to worry about this. It's better to do this..."

Zhang Ye leaned close to Marquis Wen An and whispered for a while, then stepped away with a smile.

Marquis Wen'an gave him an appreciative look and said, "That's right. I'll do as you said. You can go down and make arrangements."

"Yes."

Li Youwei was practicing swordsmanship outside the room, and a group of soldiers were watching around him. They couldn't help but applaud when they saw the wonderful thing.

Nalan Ling sat aside and played the piano. Even though his body was shaking a little from the cold, he didn't make a sound.

Zhang Ye strode in, frowning and scolding the soldiers.

"After losing the battle last time, you still dare to watch the laziness and excitement here instead of going back to training quickly."

"Yes."

The soldiers were so frightened that they all ran away, leaving only Li Youwei and Nalan Ling. Li Youwei put away the knife and raised his eyes to look at Zhang Ye.

"Is there something wrong with Vice General Zhang?"

Ever since he found out that Zhang was also Marquis Wen'an's licking dog, Li Youwei's attitude towards him had completely cooled down.

The two sides were at loggerheads with each other, and there was undisguised hatred in Zhang Ye's eyes.

"Li Youwei, we will send out troops tomorrow, and you and Wang Yi will be the vanguard. This is an order from the Marquis. Do you have any objections?"

"Of course I have no objection, just give me the flag."

Zhang didn't expect Li Youwei to agree so readily. He snorted coldly and handed a command flag to her.

It was at this moment of contact that Li Youwei heard his voice.

[Even if you win this time, you won’t be able to come back alive. 】

Li Youwei lowered his eyes slightly and put away the flag.

"Be prepared. You can only win but not lose tomorrow."

After saying that, Zhang Ye hurriedly turned around and left. He was afraid of being beaten by Li Youwei again. After all, the memory last time was not a good one.

Zhang also left, and Nalan Ling came over.

"You Wei, Marquis Wen'an and Zhang Ye are definitely not good-hearted. I will go with you tomorrow."

"No, Sister Ling, you go find Zhou Tengfei tomorrow and make sure to keep him under control."

Although he didn't know how they would plot against her tomorrow, Marquis Wen An would not dare to act rashly as long as Zhou Tengfei was in his hands.

"Yeah, okay, I understand."

On the second day, Li Youwei and Wang Yi led the troops and set off, and Marquis Wen'an and Zhang also went up to the tower.

"Master Marquis, everything has been arranged, just wait and enjoy the success."

Marquis Wen'an glared at Wang Yi, "I personally charged into battle and won military honors. The injury on my butt is proof of this."

"Yes, my subordinate said the wrong thing."

"Humph, be sure to think carefully before speaking in the future."

Zhang Ye wanted to flatter him, but was scolded instead. He didn't dare to say anything more, so he blushed and stood aside obediently.

On the battlefield, Li You only had a broadsword and Wang Yi had a spear. Although it was their first time to fight side by side, they worked together flawlessly.

The two men each held an order flag and commanded Nanchen's soldiers to attack in an orderly manner.

The soldiers of Dongzhou Kingdom thought they were still the same fool as they were a few days ago, but they didn't expect that this attack was quite ferocious and very methodical.

After receiving Zhang Ye's notice, Li Youwei and Wang Yi formulated a combat plan overnight.

Since most of the opponents fight with cavalry, they would be at a huge disadvantage if they only used infantry.

In order to fight against the cavalry of Dongzhou Kingdom, Wang Yi deliberately raised a lot of war horses. Even if he was hungry and dug grass roots everywhere to eat, he was not willing to kill the horses to satisfy his hunger.

He trained a group of cavalry overnight, plus a long snake formation designed by Li Youwei. They were in groups of ten, holding horse tripping ropes, specifically to deal with Dongzhou Kingdom's cavalry.

Under the methodical command of the two men, Dongzhou Kingdom's cavalry no longer had the invincibility they had before.

Soon, the soldiers of Dongzhou Kingdom began to get into chaos.

Marquis Wen'an curled his lips as he watched from the tower, "It's not much better than this Marquis. I just underestimated the enemy before."

Zhang Ye hurriedly agreed, "Master Hou is right, they are just using trivial tricks."

Zhang Ye said this, but in his heart he had directly regarded Li Youwei and Wang Yi as strong rivals. People who are so powerful in fighting must not be retained, otherwise his status will be lost.

Nanchen Kingdom fought too fiercely, and Dongzhou Kingdom was directly defeated. Li Youwei and Wang Yi did not chase them far.

The two men returned victorious with their soldiers, but were blocked from the city gate.
