My wife has a secret

Chapter 213 Peace
Yang Caiyun is well-versed in military books, has discussed tactics with some elders in her family, and has simulated many battles between two armies.

Based on Liao's performance in local wars, Yang's younger sister felt that Liao was plagued by internal and external troubles, and even if it wanted to attack Qi, it would be a spent force.

Yang Caiyun continued, "Even if the war starts... as long as the war is delayed for a while, the Jin Kingdom and the Mongols will see that the Liao Kingdom is empty and wait for an opportunity to attack."

Although when Liao launched a massive attack on Qi, it was very likely that it had secret meetings with other neighboring countries and signed some shameful treaties.

However, no matter how well those agreements were written, they could not resist the temptation of fat meat falling into the mouth. As long as the Liao army showed signs of decline in the direction of attacking Huangling Pass, the Liao Kingdom would fall into an extremely passive situation.

This conclusion was not too different from what Yang Xianning and the second young lady of the Yang family thought. They both felt that their younger sister had grown up.

It takes time to train a wise general, and the situation on the battlefield is so complicated that it is not easy for a twelve-year-old child to analyze it to this level.

Xu Qing was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the little girl from the Yang family was so young but so intelligent.

"Then..."

Yang Xianning was about to call in the guards outside to give orders, but she didn't expect them to rush into the hall and report to her with a fist clasped, "General, there is news from the Liao Kingdom that part of the Liao army gathered in the border town has already headed towards Huangling Pass."

"what?"

The youngest daughter of the Yang family was not the only one who was surprised. The second daughter of the Yang family, Yang Qin, also looked puzzled and said in disbelief: "The Liao army secretly gathered under the cover of night. Those soldiers must have been tossed around all night. In such a tired state... why would they be ordered to launch a siege?"

The soldier who delivered the message bowed slightly and continued, "The Liao army's actions were extremely hasty, and they did not conceal their presence on the road. The passing caravans alone saw their marching column. It's just that most of the Liao army was on foot, so it would take them another two hours to reach the pass."

"Is Xiao Chong crazy?"

Yang Qin could no longer sit still, and stood up from her chair, challenging Yang Xianning who was sitting on the main seat: "Sister, after the war that year, only one in ten men in the Yang family survived, so I will fight this time!"

Compared with her two younger sisters, Yang Xianning also felt that Xiao Chong, who had experienced many battles and was praised by the Liao Kingdom as an undefeated general, would not be so reckless.

But the military intelligence and the eyes of many merchants could not be wrong; the war was imminent and it was time to gather the soldiers inside the pass to go fight.

The second sister is extremely strong and has excellent kung fu skills, so she is just the right person for the first battle.

It’s just… my second sister’s temperament is a little unstable. If I let her guard the border, she will most likely act recklessly for the sake of temporary gain. I have to find someone to restrain her.

Yang Xianning originally wanted to find someone from her personal guards to take on this responsibility, but suddenly she saw Xu Qing also stepped forward and took the initiative to say, "Let me go too."

"you?"

When Yang Qin heard this strange voice, he thought he had misheard it. He turned his head and glared at her, "Why are you, a person who knows nothing, joining in the fun? The Liao army's attack is fierce and their swords are merciless. Be careful that your life will be in danger!"

Xu Qing had anticipated Yang Qin's objection and replied calmly: "Although I am a playboy, the things in my head should be of some help in defending the city."

I thought I would have to spend more time convincing Yang Xianning, but I didn't expect that she would look at me deeply and agree to my request to go with me.

"Then let Marquis Guangping accompany the army as commander."

"Commander-in-Chief? Why?"

Yang Qin turned around and looked at her elder sister, and said, "Eldest sister, when will it be the turn of outsiders to point fingers at our Yang family's wars?"

Yang Xianning knew that Huangling Pass was in danger. If she had a falling out with Empress Dowager Xu's nephew, it would definitely affect the reinforcements that would be sent later. Although the military governor had great authority, Xu Qing had never been on the battlefield, and since he was defending the city, the role that the military governor could play was extremely limited.

More importantly, she had been alone with Xu Qing for many days and had a general understanding of his temperament. She knew that this man's personality was different from the rumors and that he was not the kind of second-generation rich man who would interfere and meddle in other people's affairs.

Giving Xu Qing a title that is neither important nor itchy can also restrain the second sister's excessive behavior.

Therefore, Yang Xianning bypassed the question and said directly: "The front line is extremely urgent. Do you still want to waste your breath on the matter I decided?"

Yang Qin was speechless and could only clasp his fists and go out to lead the horse.

Xu Qing had just followed him out when he felt someone pulling his sleeve and his body froze.

The fragrance on the other person's body is like the sweet-scented osmanthus in late autumn, quiet and elegant, making people intoxicated.

"Xu Qing..."

The person who chased out was Shen Shuangxu. She was extremely worried about her father's situation in the Liao Kingdom, but now the war was approaching and the border between the two countries would definitely be blocked.

Generally speaking, news between the two countries is not circulated during wartime, and some information may be transmitted back to Chengxuanfang via other borders, greatly reducing its timeliness.

Xu Qing naturally knew what she was worried about and pressed Shen Shuangxu's hand from her shoulder.

This was the first time he took the initiative to touch Shen Shuangxu. The skin on her hands was as delicate as silk, shiny and white. Holding it gently, it was like holding the temperature of the entire world.

"Don't panic. The second young lady of the Yang family and I went there just to confirm the extent of the war at the border with our own eyes."

Shen Shuangxu then realized that in her anxious state, she had forgotten to analyze the movements of Xu Qing, which was not in line with her usual style.

But what made her even more excited was that Xu Qing would take the initiative to climb the city wall for her.

Although the Yang family had guarded Huangling Pass for many years without any trouble and their garrison there had long been impregnable, that place was, after all, the forefront of the battlefield and carried unknown risks.

"My father-in-law is not a child. If he sees the war on the border, he will definitely find another route to return to Qi. Don't think too much about it."

"it is good."

Hearing Xu Qing's concern, Shen Shuangxu's face flushed slightly and he responded in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

Then she looked up again, and the eyes in her face were like a clear spring, bright and transparent, sparkling brightly in the sunlight, and full of determination.

"Then I will stay here and help General Yang. There is still a traitor hidden in Chengxuanfang. Although I cannot directly obtain intelligence from the enemy country, I can learn about the actions of the capital in advance."

Shen Shuangxu regained her state and resumed her status as an iceberg beauty. After a simple thought, she analyzed her role.

"Well...have a safe journey."

After saying the last sentence somewhat slowly, she turned around, opened the curtain, and continued to walk into the hall.

While Xu Qing was still immersed in this soft and delicate sentence, Yang Qin, who was not far away, had already become impatient and swung the whip while sitting on the horse seat, causing a loud sonic boom.
