Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 360 Night Attack
The two argued for a while, but they broke up in the end.

The second prince insisted on arriving at the border overnight and quickly caught Zhao Guolai by surprise and gave the other party a blow.

But Li Shang firmly disagreed, his attitude was extremely tough, and he just stared at the second prince in a stalemate.

The most taboo thing about leading troops into battle is sending troops hastily without knowing the opponent's strength.Although Zhao Guo still doesn't know about Qi Guo's actions.But they have been preparing for many days on display at the border, and they must be prepared.If you send troops rashly, who can predict whether the consequences will be good or bad.

Not to mention the strength of the enemy, just take their army as an example. After marching for dozens of days, they rushed from the capital to the border. Every soldier is now a little tired, but the second prince does not intend to take a rest Fan is about to attack Zhao Guo.The other party waits for work with ease, while our side is exhausted.Thinking about it this way, Li Shang felt that the night raid was absolutely unacceptable.He absolutely could not agree with the second prince's decision.

Thinking of this, Li Shang's expression became more and more determined.

Seeing that Li Shang did not agree for a long time, the second prince couldn't help feeling angry from his heart. He was not a very patient person. It was only because of Li Shang's status that he had the patience to discuss with him, but he had already accommodated him so much. , but he has always refused to agree with his proposal, not giving himself face, the second prince was instantly angry.

"Lord Li!" The second prince's voice sank, "You are a general, but you are so cautious in your actions. You must be clear that on the battlefield, we must seize every fleeting opportunity. Now is our However, you have been reluctant to agree to the opportunity. If there are any serious consequences, will you take responsibility?"

Li Shang's expression froze for a moment. He naturally knew that opportunities are fleeting. Can he seize the opportunity?

Fighting pays attention to the speed of soldiers.

Li Shang hesitated for a moment, he was not clear about what the second prince said, but opportunities often come with risks.The greater the opportunity, the greater the risk.

Now, if you think about it, it is still the most risky to send troops rashly.

The second prince hesitated when he saw Li Shang's expression, and the angry expression on his face eased, trying to suppress his emotions, the second prince said to Li Shang in a low voice: "Master Li, the most important thing in war is the speed of soldiers. Give them a hard blow when you don't react. I also know what you are thinking and what you are worried about, but this is a great opportunity. Do you have the heart to watch this opportunity disappear in vain? "

Li Shang originally planned to persuade the second prince to change his mind, but he didn't expect that he didn't persuade him to change his mind first, but he persuaded him to waver.

Li Shang frowned tightly, thinking carefully about what the second prince said, with a tangled expression.

The second prince watched quietly without making a sound.

In the end, Li Shang nodded hesitantly with a heavy expression, and looked straight at the second prince, "Just listen to what the second highness said."

The second prince said with a smile, "Lord Li, don't worry, His Highness acts properly."

Now that he has decided to rush to the border to attack Zhao's army, Li Shang has to make some preparations.

There is still some distance from the border area, so Li Shang simply let the army take a good rest here.

In the army, Li Shang's prestige is far greater than that of the second prince.So this matter requires Li Shang to deploy and prepare.

After two days of driving, it was already the evening of the second day when we reached the border.

The sun was setting.The second prince stood on the raised hill, looking at the border area between the two countries, his eyes sparkled.

Although Li Shang was still vaguely worried, seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and the soldiers were also ready for the night attack, he swallowed his worries in his stomach.

into the night.

When Shen Liang returned to the mansion, there were suddenly many soldiers in the border area recently, and there was also a general who came along with him.I heard that the general meant what the emperor meant.

Mentioning that general, Shen Liang felt that he was suffocated.He is a majestic champion in martial arts, and now he is an official again, so he shouldn't be subject to the face of others.But that General Han, as soon as he came to the border, had no good face towards him, and spoke to him in a cold tone, and the disdain he showed from time to time made Shen Liang feel angry.

But thinking that this General Han is higher than himself, Shen Liang could only swallow his anger.

Back in the mansion, because there are people from the capital, Shen Liang has been kind to Zheng Xiuning in the past few days, showing affection in front of outsiders.

After all, my father-in-law is the prime minister of the capital, if the bad news about how I treated Zheng Xiuning was passed on to my father-in-law by someone with a heart, that would be bad.

But being affectionate in front of outsiders is one thing, but returning home is another.

Shen Liang vented all the anger he received outside on Zheng Xiuning, tortured Zheng Xiuning on the bed, and Shen Liang turned over and fell into a deep sleep.

Feeling the pain in his body, Zheng Xiuning stared blankly at the curtain on the top of the bed, only felt that he had become numb now, he would cry silently before, but now he couldn't even cry.

Hearing the deep snoring sound from the man beside him, Zheng Xiuning closed his eyes and tried hard to fall asleep.

Half asleep and half awake, Zheng Xiuning suddenly heard a commotion outside.

The barking of domestic dogs, the cries of women and children... Zheng Xiuning was awakened, and suddenly heard a hasty knock on the door, and a servant's panicked voice came from outside the door, "My lord! My lord!"

Shen Liang had already been awakened, and hurriedly got out of bed and put on his coat, and opened the door while putting on the coat, "What's wrong?" He asked hastily.

"Qi State...Qi State sent people to sneak attack!" The servant's voice was full of weeping.

Shen Liang's face turned cold, and he strode away quickly.

Zheng Xiuning clutched the quilt tightly and shivered.

Shen Liang hurried to the city gate, went up the tower, and saw General Han looking out of the city with a serious expression.

Gongs and drums blared under the city, and the soldiers waved their flags and shouted, and the smoke filled the air.

"General Han, how is the situation?"

Shen Liang only saw that swords were clashing, more and more people fell down, the sound of the enemy's gongs and drums interlaced with ours, and the night was dark, Shen Liang only felt that the air was more oppressive.

General Han looked away and stared at Shen Liang coldly, "Can Master Shen not see what's going on?"

Shen Liang was about to speak, but General Han had already turned his attention back to the battlefield outside the city.

"The enemy came aggressively and unexpectedly. We were unprepared and forced to fight. The situation is not very good." General Han said in a heavy tone.

Shen Liang frowned tightly, and also saw that the situation on Zhao's side was not clear.

General Han suddenly turned around and prepared to go down the tower.Shen Liang quickly stopped him, "General Han, what are you going to do?"

"Lead troops to fight!"

General Han made up his mind. He wanted to lead the soldiers to fight from the beginning, but his lieutenant stopped him.It is said that he is the backbone of the soldiers, and there must be no accidents. If something happens to him, the soldiers will have no generals, so the lieutenant will lead the soldiers to fight, but he is commanding from the tower, watching the smoke below the city.
