Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 133 War
Xia Ziyan didn't know what Yue Jing'an was thinking, but she thought it was absurd when she heard it, and sighed: "Actually, there is nothing at all. Sister Zijin is outstanding in appearance and intelligence. It is natural for the son to admire her. Everything They are all involuntary, just like me, persuading him not to move is also involuntary..."

Yue Jing'an was silent for a long while, and she already thought of beating Xia Zijin hard, otherwise she would be so promiscuous, wouldn't it make Shengqing sad.

"Okay, don't think too much, just wait for the marriage with peace of mind. Even if Prince Rong has an idea in his heart, he doesn't mean that he can accept whoever he wants." Yue Jing'an comforted.

Xia Ziyan nodded, and could only take one step at a time. If Rong Yu insisted on going her own way...she really didn't know what to do.

The two of them were talking like this, but they heard the palace man hurried into the yard, panting and knelt down to report.

"Your Majesty, princess, something is wrong!"

"Why are you in such a panic." Yue Jingan frowned.

The palace man glanced at Xia Ziyan, and said with a sigh: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. The son just entered the court to report, and the scriptures were sent in a hurry at eight hundred miles from Guangzhou Bay, saying that the son was placed on the two gates guarding Qinglong Pass in Guangzhou Bay." The army of ten thousand elite soldiers was attacked by the local gangster forces, and now only half of the 2 people are left, and the gangsters are still pressing on, the situation is in danger!"

As early as more than a dozen days ago, Guangzhou Bay was in trouble, but the journey was far away, the messenger was intercepted and killed by bandits many times, and he escaped from death and hid in Tibet. It took half a month to safely enter Shangjing.However, [-] soldiers and horses were lost in a period of more than ten days. Ming Shengdi was furious at the court and said that he would wipe out all the rogues, and the court was panicked.

Xia Ziyan panicked, not because of anything else, but because the soldiers in Guangzhou Bay belonged to Rong Yu, and now something went wrong in Guangzhou Bay, it stands to reason that Rong Yu, the commander, was going to preside over the battle.But now that the two of them are getting married, it is unknown whether Rong Yu will return as scheduled...

"Father, did you say who to send to preside over the battle?" Xia Ziyan asked, clutching his veil for fear of hearing the worst answer.

Gong Ren said: "The emperor has already sent the little general Liu Anqi of the Liu family to go there quickly, but if General Liu goes to Guangzhou Bay to report that the situation is not good, the son of Prince Rong will definitely go there himself!"

really!

Xia Ziyan bit his lip, his heart was already up and down.

Yue Jing'an could see her thoughts, her sharp eyes rolled around, and an idea came out in her heart.

"Yan'er, think about it. It will take at least two or three days for the young general of the Liu family to get back the news. If you are worried, then think of a way to share the worries for Prince Rong. If he has a good strategy, he doesn't have to personally gone back."

Xia Ziyan felt that it was reasonable, so he agreed, thinking that Rong Yu would not be at ease after all.

And Yue Jing comforted her forehead, raised her eyebrows and said, it's time to go to Mo Sheng Garden.

Xia Zijin's unexpected appearance of Yue Jing'an in the Mosheng Garden was completely unexpected. She was just in the cold weather, and when she saw her in the hall wearing a blanket, her lips were inevitably pale.

"I heard that Princess Mingzhu is ill?" Yue Jing'an sipped the tea brought by Xiao Kui, her eyes fell on Xia Zijin's face, which seemed to be a bit deep.

Xia Zijin waved his hands and said, "It's okay, the left and right are just a little bit cold, and it will be fine after taking the medicine."

"However... Concubine Lian's sudden visit today is probably not just to exchange greetings with this princess, is it?"

Although her complexion was not good, her aura was not weak at all. Besides, she and Yue Jing'an were considered allies after all, and they just went about their own business. According to Yue Jing'an's temperament, she didn't have the leisure to express her condolences to her illness.

Yue Jing'an laughed, holding the teacup with her right hand, while pinching the lid with her left hand and gently scraping the rim.

"Princess Mingzhu also knows that I am the adoptive mother of the Seventh Princess. This adoptive daughter is worried every day. Now that Yan'er is getting married again, I still have to worry about her thoughts. It is really difficult."

She complained, but Xia Zijin didn't see how difficult it was, but the pet fight with Concubine Yue made Yue Jing'an even more upset, right?

Xia Zijin didn't say anything, and followed the words: "Concubine Lian has been working hard, it's only been a few days, and when the seventh sister marries into the palace, the empress will be able to breathe a sigh of relief."

Yue Jing'an saw that her face was normal, and there was nothing unusual about Rong Wang's mansion, she turned her eyes and said: "If this is the case, it will be fine, Yan'er has always been unhappy these two days, my mother and concubine She was also very worried. After careful questioning, she found out that it was the son who made her sad, and she fell in love with some woman before she got married. It was a sinful fate."

Xia Zijin's eyes did not move, but he could hear something in Yue Jing'an's words. Thinking of Rong Yu's warm attitude towards him in recent days, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"How does Seventh Sister know that Prince Rong's heart belongs to him?" She asked casually.

Yue Jing'an stared at her with a pair of red phoenix eyes, and naturally she would not miss the slightest reaction.

"I don't know about this palace, but I just dare to ask Princess Mingzhu, if this matter is replaced by you, what should I do?"

Yue Jing'an asked tricky questions, and Xia Zijin looked up at her, but he didn't see any other expressions besides a smile.

"This princess can't answer this question. My princess's fiancé is Shengqing, not Rong Yu's son. Shengqing is devoted to this princess and has never looked at other women, so this princess can't empathize with Seventh Sister's senses. " Xia Zijin replied with a smile, it was a watertight answer, but it was also from the heart.

Yue Jing'an sneered in her heart, even if Xia Zijin still had some self-knowledge, knowing that she had a fiancé, if she was still entangled with Rong Yu, she would make Sheng'er see her clearly!
"I made a random comparison." She pursed her lips and said lightly, raised her eyebrows, and asked again, "But Princess Mingzhu heard about the riots in Guangzhou Bay?"

This matter has only spread since the morning of today. Xia Zijin has recuperated at ease in the past few days, and Xiao Huanzi is also in charge of the yard, so he doesn't worry about other things. He was a little surprised to hear Yue Jing'an's talk at this time.

"Guangzhou Bay? Isn't that the place where Prince Rong's son stationed his troops? I heard that there are often pirates and land bandits harassing Guangzhou Bay. The advantage is that there are a large number of soldiers and horses guarding Qinglong Pass. I haven't heard of any major turmoil for a long time." Xia Zijin was thoughtful, and suddenly some memories flashed in his head.

riot……

Could it be the one in the previous life?
She remembered that there was an unprecedented riot at the customs gate in her previous life, but she couldn't remember whether it was Guangzhou Bay or not.At that time, the battle reports lasted for more than a month, and they were all news of defeat. Out of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, only 5000 people were left, trapped by bandits in the city guarding the pass, and vowed not to die.

In that battle, after an old general worked out and modified an excellent strategy to defend against the enemy, he won a reverse victory. Although tens of thousands of soldiers were lost, the last 5000 people were finally saved.

This was the case in the previous life, how about the present life?
Just listen to Yue Jing'an and said again: "This time the rogues in Guangzhou Bay came prepared, and the originally unfriendly forces also abandoned their personal grievances and joined forces. There are more than 2 troops stationed in Guangzhou Bay, and now the remaining More than 1 people are guarding Qinglong Pass, the situation is not optimistic."

Sure enough, it was very similar to the riots in the previous life, but I don't know if I can survive the disaster this time.

Yue Jing'an sighed, and seemed to be talking to herself, she took a sip of tea and said: "If I change my palace, I must first block the gate of Qinglongguan. Not a small number, no matter how cruel those rogues are, can they still cross the Qinglongguan city wall, which is taller than a hundred-year-old tree?"

Xia Zijin smiled and shook her head, Yue Jing'an is a woman in the deep palace after all, if she acts like this, she will kill herself.

"This princess thinks it's wrong. Although the city wall of the first Qinglong Pass is very high, it is not as high as the sky. As long as the enemy knows how to use long ladders and bows and crossbows, it will be a matter of time before the enemy's defense is broken. If the food and grass are divided into 1 people, how many days can they last?"

Yue Jing'an smiled, and asked again: "It seems to be true, so it is indeed Princess Ming Zhu, how should I defend against the enemy?"

What is she going to do?

Xia Zijin pondered, as if he had brought himself to the Qinglong Pass, where the enemy was coming down from the front and back, the food and grass were about to run out, and there was an evil enemy in front of him, what should I do?

She memorized the strategies of the old general in her previous life, but she also felt that there were a few things that were wrong. The battlefield was changing rapidly. In fact, there is no one strategy that is guaranteed to be foolproof, but if they can choose, everyone hopes to minimize casualties.

"If it's my princess... open the city gates and let the enemies in!"

Yue Jing'an almost spit out the tea with her mouth in her mouth, did she hear correctly?Let the enemy into the city?Isn't that tantamount to courting death? Originally, she was thinking of coming to Xia Zijin to set up a plan. She used many good plans to quell the Jiangnan plague and other trivial matters before, which won the appreciation of Ming Shengdi. I think Xia Zijin can also come up with ingenious ones. Ways to deal with Guangzhou Bay bandits.

But hearing this unruly words now, Yue Jing'an was a little disappointed.

"Isn't this...too cowardly?" Yue Jing'an laughed dryly.

"My princess hasn't finished yet." Xia Zijin smiled, "Opening the city gate to let the enemy in is just a cover. As the saying goes, soldiers never tire of deceit. Now that the situation is already very bad, the rogues will naturally become arrogance. If you fight hard Instead, it’s not good, it’s better to take a big step back and let it swell.”

Yue Jing'an raised her eyebrows, motioning for her to continue.

"Before opening the city gate, we must make a good deployment. The strength of the troops in Guangzhou Bay should be good. Choose a thousand outstanding soldiers from them, put on common people's clothes and mix with the ranks of the common people, and then pick out 2000 people who are not good enough to hide in the city. In the middle of the river. After the city gate is opened, the rogues will swarm into the city to plunder. They are vicious by nature, killing, wounding, looting and burning are commonplace, so before opening the city gate, we must ensure that the real people are hidden in a safe place. And take them into the city to be on guard When the guard is at its weakest, first let the remaining few thousand soldiers break out of the city, block the city gate from the outside, and then let the elite soldiers disguised as ordinary people carry out the next step."
