Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 134
Yue Jing'an heard this strategy, and couldn't help but look at Xia Zijin with admiration in her heart, what a soldier who never tires of cheating!
"Then what's next?" She asked with great interest.

Xia Zijin took a sip of tea and continued: "Before that, let the soldiers collect all the oil and wine in the city and pour them within a hundred meters of the city gate. The soldiers rose up and stirred up the rogues a little bit, and then set fire to the city at the right time, using the river within a hundred meters of the city gate as a boundary, and retreated to the river, so that there would still be fire outside to swallow snakes. The soldiers ambushing in the river raided and strangled, but how can people think about the surprise attack in the river when they are in danger of being engulfed in flames? As long as the rhythm is mastered, when the bandits enter the city, they will surely die."

At the end of the words, Xia Zijin's mouth was a little dry, and he picked up some tea to moisten his throat.

In fact, there are many precedents for this kind of strategy since ancient times, but most of them do not have such favorable time and place. A good strategy also needs to pay attention to good previous conditions. Even an unknown factor may cause major changes.

After listening to it, Yue Jing'an thought about it for a long time. Even though she was used to seeing many wise men and heard many wonderful strategies, she couldn't help but praise Xia Zijin's strategy.

"Listening to Princess Mingzhu's words is really better than reading a book on military affairs." She smiled, and the trip was indeed worthwhile.

"Concubine Lian's concubine has won the award, and this princess is just expressing my humble opinion. But the empress, how are you doing these days?"

Xia Zijin raised her eyes and saw Yue Jing'an's complexion was ruddy. She knew that it was because of Ming Shengdi's favor, but now Concubine Yue and her can be said to be equally divided. If the imperial concubine suppresses it, I'm afraid it will take many more days.

How could Yue Jing'an not understand what Xia Zijin meant by saying good? She rolled up her sleeves and said, "Princess Mingzhu, don't worry, it will take time to pile up the early stage, and it will only be a matter of time to replace it."

What she said was cryptic, but it reassured Xia Zijin's heart.

"In this way, I will wait for the good news of the empress."

The two looked at each other and smiled, the beauty was better than the peonies blooming in the pavilion.

Let's say that after Yue Jing'an returned to Yuehua Palace from Mosheng Garden, she sent someone to Lanzhi Garden to summon Xia Ziyan.

Taking advantage of the dinner, Yue Jing'an asked Xia Ziyan what he thought about the strategy of defeating the enemy in Guangzhou Bay.

Xia Ziyan is a woman, except for describing pictures or reading some trivial matters, she has not touched any military strategy.She thought about it all night before finally coming up with a solution, not knowing if it was a good idea, so she opened her mouth to Yue Jing'an's question.

"Yan'er feels that the current strategy should be to protect the remaining [-] soldiers. If it takes another day, it will be more risky. If the imperial court can allocate troops to support Guangzhou Bay, the rogues will not dare to go to Thailand." Arrogant."

"It's just like this...?" Yue Jingan frowned, everyone wanted this way.

Xia Ziyan paused and said: "There is also the need to cut off the suspension bridge outside the gate of Qinglong Pass. Without the suspension bridge, the rogues would not be able to fly over the hundred-foot-wide moat even if they had three heads and six arms. Then the imperial court will send support troops to clean up the rogues. Relief..."

After finishing speaking, Xia Ziyan carefully looked at Yue Jing'an's expression, and when she shook her head after seeing her sigh slightly, she knew that her method was not satisfactory.

"Your Majesty... It's just words that don't work, I can't think of a good way..." Her eyes dimmed, annoyed that she couldn't help Rong Yu.

Yue Jing'an held her hand and comforted her, "Forget it, I'm the one who made things difficult for you, how can you understand so many things as a boudoir girl. I've already thought of a plan for you, just listen carefully." After I finished speaking, I will go to present it to Prince Rong, do you understand?"

She raised her head in surprise, first she was stunned, then excited, and then moved into her heart.

"Your Majesty is so kind!"

Yue Jing'an laughed, beckoning her to come close to her ear.

"That's how you tell Shizi..."

Shuri's early visit to Guangzhou Bay was still the center of heated discussions. As the current general, Liu Anqi hurried to Guangzhou Bay, and immediately sent a letter to report the situation.When Ming Shengdi opened the emergency report again, his anger was even higher.

Originally, the remaining [-] soldiers have now been reduced by one-tenth, and the rogue bandits have become more and more arrogant. They even captured the soldiers alive and roasted them alive with charcoal fire to share the food. The cruelty is heinous.

Rong Yu's mood was extremely bad after he came out of the Golden Luan Hall. The riots had reached a fever pitch. It seemed that he had to go to Guangzhou Bay himself.

As soon as he walked out of the Zhu Yu Gate of the North Hall, he saw a beautiful figure standing on the palace road outside.

"Seventh Princess."

He nodded to her as a greeting, and was about to pass by.

"Your Majesty, stay!" Xia Ziyan called out, seeing his puzzled expression, bit his lips and asked in a low voice, "Is the situation in Guangzhou Bay getting any better?"

Rong Yu shook his head, looking very tired.

"It's terrible. This son can't watch the bandits continue to run rampant like this. He has decided to go back to the house immediately to pack his bags. There is no time to delay, so I won't talk to the princess first."

With that said, he was about to leave.

Xia Ziyan sighed, stretched out his hand to hold Rong Yu's arm, and felt that he was too reckless after he realized it, so he said softly with a shy face: "If the son has a plan to defend against the enemy, wouldn't he have to go to Guangzhou Bay himself?"

Although she didn't know what she meant, Rong Yu still nodded: "That's natural, going to Guangzhou Bay is also a helpless move. There are still many things in Shangjing that I have to deal with, but I have to go due to the current battle situation."

Xia Ziyan pursed her lips, her pretty lips were pink and lustrous.She raised her eyes and said timidly: "If the prince doesn't dislike my stupidity, I have a plan."

Seeing that Xia Ziyan didn't look like he was joking, Rong Yu had nothing to do, so he didn't mind listening to a few more words.

"You say it."

The breeze passed by slowly, and Xia Ziyan's words blew into Rong Yu's ears. She opened and closed her lips, from uttering the bold point of view of opening the city gate to let the enemy into the city, to explaining every word how to lay out the city and how to strangle the enemy , every detail is extremely detailed.

Rong Yu was amazed, he had never discovered that Xia Ziyan had such a delicate thought, this plan was novel and extraordinary, and the idea of ​​those disciples was a hundred times better!
"...In this way, as long as the layout is careful, the chaos of the bandits can be resolved."

After Xia Ziyan said the last sentence, he looked at Rongyu again, with an elegant and warm expression.

"What do you think, Shizi? If... it's not feasible, I..."

I have no choice, but I don't want you to go.

Xia Ziyan didn't say this sentence, but just stood there, quietly waiting for an answer.

Rong Yu didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment, he was overjoyed, and he was deeply shocked that women can also have shocking strategies.

"Seventh princess, thank you from the brothers of Guangzhou Bay in this generation!"

Before Xia Ziyan could react, she was already wrapped in a strong arm.Warm breath flows in the ear, and the body fragrance that does not belong to him lingers on the tip of the nose.

Rong Yu hugged her tightly, it was a warm hug from the heart, it had nothing to do with love or romance.

"Shi... son!"

Xia Ziyan's cheeks were flushed, and his heart was pounding non-stop. Although the two were already a fiancée, it was the first time for them to be so intimate.

His arms are so warm...

But before Xia Ziyan finished thinking about it, Rong Yu had already let go of him, his deep face like a jade carving was showing a big smile, as bright as the warm sun.

"My son will arrange it first, and when the matter is resolved, I will thank you very much!"

After finishing speaking, Rong Yu walked away quickly, blowing up the wind and drifting leisurely past Xia Ziyan's heart.

She smiled sweetly, such a generous back, will it be hers in the future?Thinking of this, I feel at ease.

On May [-], the Qinglongguan counterattack started.

The [-] soldiers in the city, led by Liu Anqi, relied on the strategy proposed by Xia Zijin and provided to Rongyu through Xia Ziyan's mouth, and wiped out the rioting bandits in one fell swoop. Among them, the shrill horn finally turned into scorched earth.

When the news of the great victory spread to the Golden Luan Hall, the cloudy and cloudy court hall was swept away. Ming Shengdi's laughter echoed in the hall, and he praised Liu Anqi, the leader of the army, and the honor of providing the strategy.

Rong Yu knew that the credit was not his own, and he generously said that the strategy of defending against the enemy was Xia Ziyan's idea.Everyone in the imperial court was amazed and applauded, and they lamented that the Holy Emperor of Ming Dynasty taught his daughter so well, a princess can have such an excellent strategy, and they also envied Rong Yu's blessings, and she was about to marry such a smart son concubine.

Ming Shengdi Longyan Dayue gave Xia Ziyan two plates of gold thousand taels of jewelry on the spot, plus other valuable things, and ordered Xiao Xiazi to send the rewards to Lanzhi Garden like flowing water.

It so happened that Xia Ziyan and the other princesses were all paying their respects in the Queen's Palace, so Xiao Xiazi went around to Kunning Palace again.

When everyone saw Xiao Xiazi leading a group of court ladies to send them in the palace with trays of rewards, they were all startled for a while.

"The servant sees the empress and the princesses." Xiao Xiazi saluted respectfully and said, "By the order of the emperor, the servant is here to present a reward for the seventh princess!"

The queen had heard about it a little before, and she understood it in her heart. She laughed and joked: "Grandpa Xia is serious about his work. I think he came to this palace after a waste of time in Lanzhi Garden, right?"

"That's right. The emperor told the slave to deliver it to the seventh princess in person last time. How dare the slave be negligent." Xiao Xiazi smiled kindly, and bowed to Xia Ziyan, "The seventh princess will accept the reward!"

Xia Ziyan himself was still in the dark, and he didn't quite understand why Ming Shengdi rewarded her, so he asked the palace people to pick her up last time, and asked, "Dare to ask Xiao Gonggong, why did the emperor reward me?"

Xiao Xiazi shook his fly whisk, covered his mouth and said, "Don't you know about the Seventh Princess? The riots in Guangzhou Bay are over! Tens of thousands of bandits were strangled by our army. The emperor is overjoyed!"
