The most beloved princess in the prosperous world

Chapter 94 Gamblers
On the third day of November, King Yi and his concubine Yi led an army to break through the Mianshui border city. The army of the king of Chu on the west road marched eastward from Weizhou along the river, and controlled the army of Lianzhou and Yuanzhou in the east of Chu along the way, cutting off the army of Lianzhou in the east of Chu. , Yuanzhou may block the army on the middle road, and the two generals on the east road, Lu Guanglin and Lou Kaiyu, who have always cooperated tacitly, also marched south and west from the east road, trying to fight with them who had already left Mianshuibian City and were quickly heading to Tong The Central Route Army from Andukou converged to overcome the [-] troops added by Eastern Chu after the Mianshuibian City of Eastern Chu was broken.

King Yi lived up to being the most trusted general of Emperor Yuanchang, and even more so as the general of the Tianxuan Army of the strong army of the Chen Kingdom. , King Yi has already led his troops to go south along the north bank of the river. The Eastern Chu army who had just experienced the destruction of the city and the loss of the three cities along the Mian River had not had time to react at all. King Yi ordered his subordinates to lead the ships to follow up and approach Eastern Chu. Hukou City, and passed through Hukou at the fastest speed, and continued to lead the troops southward before the reinforcements from Eastern Chu arrived. On the eighth day of November, King Yi led his army to raid Huangshui Village. In Linzhou, the army of the Chen Kingdom, who had successively and rapidly attacked the city and occupied the city camps of Eastern Chu, made Eastern Chu completely panicked. On November [-]th, King Yi and Princess Yi led their troops to attack at Tongling Ferry. Defeated the army of Eastern Chu, and obtained more than [-] warships of Eastern Chu at Tongling Ferry, and defeated more than [-] Eastern Chu troops at Tong'an Ferry. He also defeated more than [-] soldiers from the Eastern Chu army in Tangshi Town, captured nearly a hundred people from various military departments of Eastern Chu, and completely captured many key passes in the northern part of Eastern Chu.

When the news from ahead came back to Eastern Chu Capital, the sound of silk and bamboo in the Dongfang Qi Hall was still as lively as before. When he heard the news, he picked up an inkstone not far away and smashed it in the field on the spot. A dancer was smashed to the ground, and the news that the Chen Kingdom's army was in full swing, finally completely broke the flashy excitement and prosperity of the Eastern Chu Imperial City.

After Dongfang Qi was overwhelmed, he ordered the Zhenjiang Jiedu envoy to lead a [-] navy army, and [-] infantry to immediately go north to support them, blocking Yi Wang Yu Wuxiu's army going south, and the troops of both sides fought in the Yanzhou area. There was a fierce battle.

When the great war in Yanzhou was in full swing, the people in the capital of Eastern Chu were still living lively and bustlingly. The courtiers in the court of Eastern Chu were devastated, but the people from Dongfanglin and Dongfangqi also Arguing amidst the anxiety of the army breaking the city, there was even a faint intention of suppressing the ministers of Dongfang Qi's royalist faction.

The sound of rites and music in the palace finally gradually subsided, and the cloud hanging over the imperial capital of Eastern Chu seemed to be getting stronger. Some unknown news gradually spread from the palace. The Queen Mother was seriously ill. Dongfang Qi hurriedly summoned the young prince Dongfang Lin into the palace, and kept Dongfang Lin in the palace on the grounds that he needed to personally serve the Queen Mother during the chaos.

For this reason, while the great battle in front of Eastern Chu was still going on, it was said that the night when the little prince stayed in the deep palace, there was a chaos in the little prince's mansion that lasted two hours. Before opening the door to do business, I didn't notice what happened last night. I just remembered that there was a rare heavy rain in the middle of the night, which made the windows crackle and made people sleep uneasy.

On the wet street, the dealers in their respective stalls were swept clean, only when walking, they splashed some water carefully and splashed a little bit of water on the dress they were wearing. The cloud hanging over the Eastern Chu Imperial City has not yet dissipated. , The heavy rain last night seemed to be just a warm-up before a storm came. The day of Chenshi, without a ray of sunshine, was more like the weather before the time of day.

There was no one on the street yet, and in a farewell pavilion outside the Imperial Capital of Eastern Chu, Ruan Fu looked back at the Imperial City of Eastern Chu, where he had lived for a month, and sighed softly, "Your Majesty's movements are really fast. , I'm afraid Dongfang Lin will have no room to stand up this time."

The empress dowager was seriously ill, and Dongfang Lin entered the palace. It was only because of an extra hand that turned the clouds and rains that the battle that could have caused a sensation in the imperial capital of Eastern Chu ended in a dramatic way.

Yu Wujue looked calm, "Dongfang Qi will not give him a chance to stand up, not to mention, when Eastern Chu was in turmoil, and you disappeared, and the news of Wu and Han was blocked at the same time, Dongfang Lin should be aware of the situation." It's already out of his control, if he really had the courage to break the boat last night, he might not have no chance of winning, but unfortunately he didn't."

What the two of them seemed to say was normal, but in fact they downplayed a coup d'etat in Dongchu that should have been thrilling. Ruan Fu nodded, "Dongfang Linkong has ambitions but lacks determination. It's just...the lord knows better in his heart. If Dongfang Lin succeeds, I'm afraid Chen Kingdom will face even more difficulties."

"Ruan Er also knows me." Yu Wujue smiled, "In military terms, Dongfang Qi is indeed easier to deal with than Dongfang Lin."

Ruan Fu nodded calmly, "It's getting late, I should be on my way, the prince will send it here."

But Yu Wujue called her back, "Ruan'er, when the soldiers approach the Han River, the real battle begins, so be careful."

Ruan Fu took a deep look at Yu Wujue, saw his frown slightly, and finally didn't say the words that made him remember to be careful, but said, "I know."

After saying that, she got on the horse, Yu Wujue was tall and tall, standing in front of Ruan Fu's horse, before Ruan Fu put the rein in his hand, he led her horse to the side of the road, "Ruan'er, since you and I are both persistent people, let this bet between the world and the mountains convince each other."

He spoke naturally, leading her horse like a guard, as if he didn't care about the bet made by the old river in the imperial capital that night.Ruan Fu pursed his lips, not knowing how to respond to his words. In fact, it was that night, in his persistent words, in his throbbing and flaming eyes, in those eyes as deep as the night sky of Eastern Chu, For the first time in so many years, she listened to her inner voice so willfully, and made a bet with him that she was not sure whether she would win or not.

She thought, no matter what the result was, at least it was an explanation. The road ahead is still so long, and there are still so many unknown things. What is this moment?

Yu Wujue looked at the receding figure, the touch of green clothes on the horse's back gradually disappeared from his sight, and finally turned into a vague shadow, until it gradually dissipated at the end of the road.

Yu Wujue shook the hand behind his back, and the color of his eyes gradually darkened. In this cold winter day, it made people feel extremely cold. A gust of cold wind blew past, and the black hair tied behind him Raised slightly, the moon-white robe moved slightly with the wind, but couldn't move more.

His voice was as gentle as jade springs touching each other, floating in the cold winter wind, "Ruan'er, I don't want to bear the world or you. If you can't decide your own heart, let me decide for you selfishly." , but... if this heart is in my hands, I will never let it go."

When Ruan Fu arrived at the camp of King Yi's Middle Route Army, the fierce battle between the two sides in the area of ​​Yanzhou for several days finally came to an end. Concubine Yi and Concubine Yi's troops joined forces in Yanzhou, and quickly defeated the navy brought by Zhenjiang Jiedu envoy of Eastern Chu and the [-] infantry sent by Dongfang Qi. However, the Eastern Chu navy is famous for its strength. After the First Battle of Yanzhou, although [-] of the [-] naval troops brought by the Zhenjiang Jiedu Envoy were wiped out, the casualties of Chen Kingdom were not a few. And after the battle of Yanzhou, the shortcomings and lameness of Chen Kingdom in Jianghe battles became more and more obvious. After the successive battles, whether it was Eastern Chu or Chen Kingdom, after the Yanzhou War, both sides needed a short period of recuperation.

After the first battle in Yanzhou, Eastern Chu naturally discovered the shortcomings of Chen Guo's army in the water battle. Therefore, it mobilized the rivers behind to continuously reinforce the area around Yanzhou. , together forming a guarding trend, trying to block the army of Eastern Chu from Yanzhou, but on the other hand, they hurried back to Beijing, asking for Dongfang Qi's rescue, trying to increase hundreds of thousands of troops, even if they did not block the army of Chen Kingdom Going to the north, we can't let the army go south, otherwise, once the Chen Kingdom's army crosses the Han River, the capital of Eastern Chu will be in jeopardy.

Yu Wuxiu, the subordinates of the Central Route Army, and the two generals Lu Guanglin and Lou Kaiyu who had just met were discussing in the barracks to discuss the next battle plan. Fighting, the two are not very good at it. At this time, sitting in the big tent with Yi Wang and others to discuss matters, they are also staring at each other. A feasible method, but no one can come up with it for a while.

"My lord, are we really going to be trapped in Yanzhou by some Zhenjiang envoy?"

Yu Wuxiu glanced at him lightly, "Do you think this king wants to? Yanzhou can't get through, what can we do if we don't get trapped?"

"This..." Lu Guanglin and Lou Kaiyu who were speaking looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while, Yu Wuxiu leaned back in his chair, and his tone did not know what it meant, "Tell you, the reason why the previous army The whole road is like a broken bamboo, and it is not true how the king leads the troops, someone may plan a strategy and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away."

Lu Guanglin and Lou Kaiyu's eyes lit up, "His Royal Highness King Jin?"

"My lord, I don't know where King Jin is now?"

Where is Yu Wujue, it is naturally in the capital of Eastern Chu, but what can Yu Wuxiu say, of course he can't, he just sneered at the two generals who looked much older than him but looked forward to it .

Yu Wuxiu's expression also let the two understand that it is impossible for Yu Wujue to appear in the barracks at this time or to investigate the situation in Yanzhou in a short time and give them a good idea. The sadness in Lu Guanglin's eyes It slowly faded away, and at the end I don't know what I thought of, "My lord, don't you know the Tianxuan Army?"

"Tianxuan Army?" Yu Wuxiu raised his eyebrows and said, "The Tianxuan Army was originally formed to deal with the army in the north. Although the Tianxuan Army is invincible in the north, it is no different from the general army when it comes to Yanzhou , water warfare is not what our Chen Kingdom is good at, even if my King's Tianxuan Army comes, it will be useless!"

Lou Kaiyu sighed heavily, "The general thinks that if this is the case, we can only wait for the king of Chu to lead the army to meet up, and the three armies will attack together. With a large number of people, we can be more sure, but the best time is also in the Before the Eastern Chu reinforcements reach Yanzhou, at the latest, there are only five days left."

Yu Wuxiu frowned. It was impossible for Dongchu to really wait for five days, otherwise he would lose his fighting chance. At this time, Yu Wuxiu also sighed softly in his heart.

When the atmosphere in the big tent gradually became dark, there was a voice from outside the tent, "My lord, a young man named Meng came from outside the camp."

Yu Wuxiu stood up abruptly, but before he could go out, the respectful voice of the soldiers outside the camp sounded, "I have seen Princess Yi."

Princess Yi nodded, smiled and opened the door of the big tent, "Look, my lord, who is here?"

Following Princess Yi's words, Ruan Fu appeared at the door of the big tent after the rain, and King Yi's eyes lit up, "Ruan Fu!"

Several people in the big tent also turned their heads and looked at Ruan Fu who was dressed as a young man. Ruan Fu looked calm and nodded slightly, "I have seen the prince and the generals."

Yu Wuxiu's expression gradually calmed down, and he exchanged a glance with Princess Yi. The people in the camp had already heard about the fact that Meng Changqing was Ruan Fu, the prostitute of the right prime minister's mansion, but at this time Ruan Fu appeared in the In the large camp of the Chenguo military camp in Yanzhou, everyone present was a little surprised for a while.

However, Ruan Fu was normal. After entering the big tent, in a slightly strange atmosphere, he briefly but also explained in detail the situation in Dongchu before leaving and the people in the big tent. After Ruan Fu finished speaking , Lu Guanglin and Lou Kaiyu looked at each other, looked at Ruan Fu, wanted to say something, but didn't know whether to call her Mr. Meng or Miss Ruan.

Seeing this, Ruan Fu had no choice but to say, "I don't know if the two generals have any questions, but Ruan Fu knows everything they can say."

Since she already called her that, Lou Kaiyu also said, "It's no coincidence that Miss Ruan appeared in the barracks at this time."

Ruan Fu smiled slightly and nodded, "To be honest, I came to Yanzhou at the order of His Royal Highness King Jin."

Seeing that the faces of several people became more serious, Ruan Fu continued, "I just left from the capital of Eastern Chu, riding lightly on a fast horse, but on the second day after I left, Dongfangqi had already ordered [-] troops to reinforce Zhenjiang Jiedu Envoy to stop Chen Kingdom The army, there are still four days at the latest, and the reinforcements will arrive."

As soon as the news came out, the tense and anxious atmosphere in the camp immediately rose, and Lou Kaiyu looked anxiously at Yu Wuxiu, "My lord!"

Yu Wuxiu's expression was also a bit serious, he didn't doubt the news Ruan Fu brought, but he seemed to curl his lips, "I don't know that besides bringing this bad news to the king, Miss Ruan also Is there anything else?"

"It's bad news, but it's also good news." Ruan Fu said, "At least the reinforcements are still on the way, and there are still a few days left. I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are in the middle and east routes combined."

"[-]!" Lu Guanglin said an accurate figure. He didn't have so many prejudices. Since King Yi, Princess Yi, and even His Royal Highness Prince Jin trust Ruan Fu so much, and this person is the veritable Meng Changqing, as long as she can solve the problems in front of her. Lu Guanglin didn't care who this person was.

Ruan Fu nodded, "Eighty thousand is enough."

"Miss Ruan, although the 8 troops are far superior to the Eastern Chu army, there is a real problem that we are not good at water warfare. The [-] troops combined may not be able to deal with the navy army of Zhenjiang Jiedushi what."

Ruan Fu nodded, "General Lu is right. It is a real problem that Chen Kingdom is not good at water. In this battle, from Mianshui Biancheng to Yancheng today, the prince has been avoiding any conflicts with Eastern Chu. The army engaged in large-scale battles. Even the Tong'an Ferry used natural forces to avoid the losses brought by the water war to the Chen Kingdom. The method we chose was always to avoid it. Generally speaking, the difference in battle between the two sides is just caused by the difference between the north and the south. Chen Kingdom is not born bad at water warfare, it is just because of lack of experience in water warfare. The prince has thought about it. Taking advantage of this opportunity to attack Eastern Chu, we can train a group of water troops to defend along the river and coast in the east?"

Yu Wuxiu looked at Ruan Fu calmly, "Train a navy?" He squinted his eyes and repeated Ruan Fu's words.

"That's right." Ruan Fu nodded, pointing to the map on the big table and said, "After Yancheng begins, the water network in the south of Dongchu will become denser, and the battle between the two sides will be difficult for Dongchu The best battlefield is on the water, which is the most urgent situation right now. Then, on a larger scale, after we conquer the entire Eastern Chu, this area will be included in the territory of Kingdom Chen. I am determined to win, but how can I first have a navy with sufficient experience and then slowly expand it to form a defense line in the southeast, so that Wu, Han and even Nanhua dare not underestimate it? This battle against Eastern Chu is an excellent opportunity In other words, Chen Country can no longer find an opportunity to increase the combat capability of one army in a certain field and in a certain type in such a short period of time."

After she said such a long sentence, Lou Kaiyu and Lu Guanglin's eyes were full of shock. The two generals looked at Ruan Fu's quiet brows, paused and said, "It's just...where can we find the The soldiers who lead the water battle?"

King Yi seemed to sneer, and Princess Yi smiled, "It seems that you also have unique insights on water warfare?"

Ruan Fu shook his head, "I don't dare to share my unique insights, it's just that I have more certainty in my heart."

Lu Guanglin and Lou Kaiyu looked at each other, although they had many questions in their hearts, they didn't know how to speak, but Yu Wuxiu quickly made a decision, and immediately asked Ruan Fu to tell the next plan.

Ruan Fu only frowned for a moment, and seemed to have organized her words very quickly, and told everyone present the plan that had already been very clear in her heart. After she finished speaking, it was already an hour later.

On November [-]th, the cold north wind blew over and over again in Yancheng. Since the First Battle of Yancheng, the army of Chen Kingdom, who was blocked by the water of Yanjiang River from going south, has been depressed for a long time.

The sky is not yet completely bright, and the entire Yanjiang River is still covered with mist, which makes people see it unrealistically, but it is only faintly visible. On the north bank of the Yanjiang River, an army is taking advantage of the hazy fog. Ruan Fu stood on a high ground halfway up the mountain, compared to those who practice martial arts, her eyesight is naturally limited, and the mist shrouded her even more. A lot of sight, but even so, it didn't have any serious impact on her.

Wuqin stood silently behind Ruan Fu. Ever since he left the Eastern Chu capital, Wuqin, who had been secretly protecting Yu Wujue, was forced to separate from Wuqi. Coming from the city, along the way, I have seen a lot of Ruan Fu's excellence.

Also standing beside Ruan Fu was General Lu Guanglin in battle armor. Compared with Ruan Fu, his eyesight was much better. What a scene.

Regarding today's action, Lu Guanglin knew about it long ago, but it was because of knowing that he had to have a sincere admiration for the girl beside him.

The few people stood on the high ground halfway up the mountain until the fog on the Yanjiang River gradually dissipated, and their sight became clearer.

Soon, the scene on the Yanjiang River was fully and clearly reflected in front of their eyes after the thick fog cleared. The confrontation between the two sides was blurred and clear on the wide Yanjiang River.

Lu Guanglin looked at the river without blinking with a pair of tiger eyes. He saw that the army of Chen Kingdom had not yet crossed the river halfway. In a quarter of an hour, the sailor vanguard of Zhenjiang Jiedushi of Eastern Chu led the warships and headed straight for the Chen Kingdom's army that had not crossed half of the Yanjiang River. The battle between the two sides was clearly visible on the misty river surface However, Kingdom Chen didn't have any advantage, and in less than half an hour, the army that had already boarded the ship and went south had to retreat.

Such a situation seems to have been expected by the Eastern Chu army. For this, the Eastern Chu army seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and did not intend to let Chen Guo go. The water army behind the Chu water army's vanguard also launched warships, as if it was expected that after today's water battle, the defense ability of Chen country would definitely decline.

In this cold winter day, watching the fierce battle on the river, Lu Guanglin's forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, but when he looked at Ruan Fu in front of him, he saw the girl's expression was calm. Wearing a cloak with a fluff border, a gust of cold wind blew, slightly messing up the snow-white fluff around her neck, but on the contrary, she had an overly calm expression.

Lu Guanglin was originally anxious, but when he saw Ruan Fu's expression, he somehow calmed down, but he still couldn't help but said, "Miss Ruan, this... look at Dong Chu. It will take less than half an hour for the army to go on like this, and they will definitely be able to land!"

Ruan Fu shook his head, "General Lu, don't worry, it's not time for our army to counterattack."

Lu Guanglin turned his head to look at the intense battle on the surface of the Yanjiang River, but he did not ask the question "How should our army fight back under the current situation" in the girl's calm eyes.

"Mr. Meng, the Eastern Chu water army is coming fiercely. Almost the entire army is attacking. Our army crossing the river has retreated to one-third of the north bank of the Yanjiang River!" The soldier who reported was trembling. Bloodshot eyes, with deep desire and expectation.

However, Ruan Fu did not give him the expected answer.

"It's not time to send troops" A quiet voice clearly passed into the ears of soldiers who came to report bloody in the cold wind.

Lu Guanglin looked at Ruan Fu with red eyes, but soon, he was attracted by the sound of fierce fighting on the Yanjiang River again.

"How is the situation? Continue to report." Ruan Fu's voice came to the soldiers' ears again.

"Mr. Meng, after the Eastern Chu vanguard navy stopped our army, the main force has officially crossed the river. In less than a quarter of an hour, the main force will be able to cross half of the river!"

This soldier knew about Ruan Fu when he was still in the Mianshui camp. Mr. Meng still couldn't change his words even when facing the girl.

Ruan Fu nodded, his eyes returned to the river, but he didn't speak again.

Soon, within a quarter of an hour, soldiers continued to report.

"Mr. Meng, the main army of the Eastern Chu has already crossed half of the river. Our original army that attacked the river has all retreated to the north bank of the Yanjiang River. The pioneer navy of the Eastern Chu has already captured the docks on the north bank!"

The soldier who came to report was out of breath, and his messy hair after a bloody battle was pasted on his sweaty face, making it almost impossible to recognize his original appearance.

Ruan Fu tightly held and loosened the hand placed by his side, "Wait for another opportunity, don't fight back!"

"Miss Ruan!" Lu Guanglin shouted.

Ruan Fu raised one hand, and the aura exuding from his whole body contained the unquestionable majesty of a person who has been in power for many years, which made Lu Guanglin, who began to doubt Ruan Fu because of his anxiety, hold back his words again.

Lu Guanglin has dealt with the King of Jin more than once, and so far, the only one who can give him such a feeling, except for what the young emperor brought to him when he was on the battlefield with Emperor Yuanchang in his youth, is the current King of Jin Your Highness, but today, Lu Guanglin found out that there is another person.

Ruan Fu's brows are calm, and his autumn eyes are like waves, just like the water surface of the Yanjiang River when it is extremely calm, but everyone knows that even when the water surface of the Yanjiang River is calm, there is a dark tide surging at the bottom, but no one can clearly see those pair of eyes. What kind of disturbance is hidden under the indifferent autumn eyes.

Lu Guanglin stared blankly at the girl in front of him. He also had a son, who was ten years older than Ruan Fu, and had followed him in the army since he was a child. But at this moment, Lu Guanglin had such a son. Strong and profound regret for not being Ruo Nu.

Standing behind Ruan Fu, Wuqin glanced silently at Ruan Fu. Not far from their feet was the wharf on the north bank of the Yanjiang River. At this moment, they could clearly see that it was already a mess.

A rush of footsteps came again, "Mr. Meng, the Eastern Chu army is already landing!"

This time, what came out of Ruan Fu's mouth was no longer the anxious waiting and inability to fight back that made them anxiously waited several times before. The Eastern Chu landed on the shore, seized the ships and counterattacked in disorder, and the Eastern Chu army has already landed, don’t let any one go!"

Ruan Fu's voice is not necessarily harsh, and even has the indelible gentleness of a woman's voice, but at this moment, it makes people feel that the surrounding atmosphere seems to be frozen for no reason.

The army who came to report excitedly took the order and left. Lu Guanglin laughed excitedly and stood up with his sword, "Miss Ruan really has a clever plan! I will go to the battle too!"

But Ruan Fu stopped Lu Guanglin's movements, "General Lu stay."

Lu Guanglin looked at Ruan Fu in some puzzlement, only to hear Ruan Fu say, "Now there is one more thing that must be done by the general."

Lu Guanglin's face couldn't help being serious, "Miss Ruan, it's okay to say it!"

"I also ask the general to lead the troops to Huaidong Bridge immediately. Within two hours, we must take Huaidong Bridge!"

Shock flashed across Lu Guanglin's eyes, and then he said firmly, "Miss Ruan, don't worry!"

Ruan Fu nodded and watched Lu Guanglin leave the mountainside. The battle along the Yanjiang River had continued. Since Ruan Fu gave the order, the Eastern Chu army that was trying to land at the pier on the north bank of the Yanjiang River was killed by Chen from the flank. The national army cut off the team, and it was scattered for a while. Chen Guo's army took this opportunity to violently attack the warships of the Eastern Chu Navy. , facing the enemy from both sides, a water battle that was supposed to be their advantage, in the blink of an eye, pushed the advantage to Chen Kingdom.

Ruan Fu was still standing halfway up the mountain. This battle lasted for a long time. Today, there was no visible sunlight, and the cold wind gusts really made people feel strongly uneasy, especially the fact that Dongchu sent this time. The Zhenjiang Jiedu envoy who came here knew that he was doomed when he got the news of the battle report ahead.

Ruan Fu on the hillside squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the wide surface of the Yanjiang River. When the main army of Eastern Chu was forced to retreat back to the middle of the Daoyan River, a vague team suddenly led a group of warships from the flanks. Come out and deal the most fatal blow to the main force of Eastern Chu who was about to retreat.

She knew it was King Yi's army.

Ruan Fu's eyebrows flickered slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. She suddenly turned her head to look at Wu Qin who was standing not far behind her, and said in a relaxed voice, "If your master, this How will he fight the battle?"

Wuqin was taken aback for a moment, then lowered her head slightly, as if in deep thought, and then said, "No one can guess the prince's mind. Faced with the same situation and different people, the prince will have different ways to deal with it."

Ruan Fu nodded, shook his head and laughed, but no one knew his emotions, "It's true, if someone can understand his mind, how can there be such a situation?"

Wuqin paused, looked up at Ruan Fu, "The prince said that no one in the world can guess his mind, except for one person."

"Really?" Ruan Fu laughed, then turned to look at the respectful Wuqin, "Do you want to say that person is me?"

No piano and no sound, it is the default.

Ruan Fu shook his head, as if he was speaking to Wuqin, and seemed to be whispering softly, "It's not me, I also don't understand his mind, any smart person will always keep this paradoxical mystery, only the one who can't let it go When others catch you, you are the one who dominates everything."

Wuqin suddenly raised his head to look at Ruan Fu, a momentary shock flashed across his eyes, he still remembered, many, many years ago, when he accompanied his young master just entering the dangerous battlefield, at that time, the young and immature master In his mouth, he also said such a sentence.

But Ruan Fu didn't see Wuqin's shock, or even if she saw it, she wouldn't have any strong reaction.

Her gaze returned to the surface of the Yanjiang River. The army under the leadership of King Yi, the Eastern Chu navy that had already crossed the Yanjiang River, was retreating steadily. In the chaos, the Eastern Chu army may not have paid attention at all. It turns out that on the way they retreat step by step, there is always a retreat that is not strictly guarded.

A gust of north wind blew, and Ruan Phuc, who was standing halfway up the mountain, stretched out a palm that was already purple from the cold wind. After a while, the wind turned, but she suddenly hooked her lips and smiled. She rarely smiled like this, with a relaxed and freehand smile.

Slowly retracting his palm, Ruan Fu's eyes were on the river again, and sure enough, he saw the large sailboat of the Chen Kingdom's army gradually raising its sails. In the howling north wind, the sails were bulging. Yes, in the bulging sails, Ruan Phu saw wisps of thick white smoke rising, and then the golden flames became brighter and more eye-catching, and then the north wind that suddenly became stronger in the afternoon, loaded with The big boat of reeds that had dried up in winter headed towards the south bank of the Yanjiang River at an unstoppable speed.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the far south bank of the Yanjiang River was a raging fire.

"Let's go, we are also preparing to cross the river." Ruan Fu said to Wuqin standing behind him.

Wuqin took one last look at the south bank of the burning Yanjiang River, turned around expressionlessly and followed Ruan Fu to leave the place halfway up the mountain where he had been standing for most of the day.

From dark to bright, from late at night to now that the wind direction has changed again and again, the battle on the Yanjiang River has been fought for a long time, Ruan Fu did not cross the river immediately, after going down the mountain, she returned to the barracks, She felt a little regretful that she couldn't hold on to the cold wind all night, but the voices on the Yanjiang River were getting farther and farther away from her, and the entire barracks was almost empty.

It wasn't until the sun set and the sky was getting dark that the excited shouts sounded again outside the barracks. At that time, Ruan Fu had already had enough rest, and the fierce and high-pitched voices of the soldiers came to her ears. Ruan Fu already knew , King Yi captured the Yancheng of Eastern Chu, and the Jiedu Envoy of Zhenjiang of Eastern Chu was captured, together with many generals of Eastern Chu who were captured. This fierce water battle gave very few opportunities to participate in such a direct water battle While the soldiers had enough of their addiction, they also had infinite hope in their hearts.

Lu Guanglin came back to the barracks almost yelling fiercely all the way. I don't know if it was because of his agitation or the cold wind. Lu Guanglin's face was already red, and Ruan Fu greeted him with a smile, "Congratulations, General Lu, return."

Lu Guanglin smiled brightly, "If it wasn't for Miss Ruan's ingenious strategy, she seized the opportunity and asked me to wait to capture Huaidong Bridge, how could there be such a big victory today!"

Ruan Fu smiled and nodded, "Although I deployed it, General Lu captured Huaidong Bridge with only [-] troops, which is a remarkable feat."

Lu Guanglin smiled loudly, and his tone was relieved, "To be honest, Miss Ruan, I doubted you at the beginning of today's actions, but now my old Lu admires you so much, and the Eastern Chu Navy is such a difficult enemy. In front of you, it is nothing more than mediocre, after today, the world should know that our country Chen is not a landlubber who is not good at water warfare!"

Ruan Fu smiled slightly, but there was a glint of cold light in his eyes, Wu Jue... You still plotted against me after all.

On the other side, in a courtyard in the Eastern Chu Emperor's Capital, Yu Wujue put down the news he had just read, maintaining his usual expression on his gentle face. No one knew what he was thinking, and Yu Wuhen watched anxiously. Looking at him, "Fourth brother, how is Changqing?"

"Brother Dahuang has already led the army to capture Yancheng, Lu Guanglin led his troops to capture Huaidong Bridge, and the entire Eastern Chu water army was wiped out. Tomorrow, the Chen Kingdom's army will all cross the Yanjiang River." Yu Wujue said calmly, as if All this has long been in his expectation.

Yu Wuhen clapped his palms and smiled, "Great! It seems that in a short while, Brother Elder Emperor will be able to come to the Imperial Capital of Eastern Chu."

Yu Wujue didn't make a sound, but those eyes that were always hard to see his emotions were looking at the distant and dark sky, Yu Wuhen said to himself, "Whether it's the battle of Yancheng or the battle of Yanjiang Regardless of the war, after today, Changqing will be famous all over the world, and his voice will shake the country of Chen. Fourth brother, no one will gossip like this, right? Fourth brother..."

After Yu Wuhen said this with a little excitement, he found that Yu Wujue didn't react at all. After Yu Wujue glanced at him, he said without much emotion in his voice, "Tomorrow, go see Dongfang Qi."

　In the battle of the Kingdom of Chen destroying Eastern Chu, Xiqing referred to the battle of destroying Nantang in the Northern Song Dynasty. Of course, there are many differences. However, I think the defeat of the Southern Tang Dynasty in the Northern Song Dynasty is indeed one of the most famous water battles in history. Different versions of history books describe the process with different effects. If you are interested, you can go and have a look.
