Chapter 169: Practice is the Only Criterion for Testing Truth!

"What do you mean by that?" Emperor Mingwen frowned, he didn't understand the meaning a little.

Chu Yunning pointed to the location of the southern end of the map: "We are surrounded by the Three Kingdoms, and the abolished prince was to unite the Three Kingdoms to besiege us at the beginning, and a consensus was reached in private, Yunlan will not consider it for the time being, but Xihai and Tanglin have not withdrawn their troops." ”

"Isn't it just waiting for who will make the first move, we are not familiar with the terrain, once we shoot, the rear will definitely be vacant, I am worried that someone will pursue from behind, if you don't do your best, you may not be able to win. ”

Emperor Mingwen stared at the map closely, and when he was reminded like this, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

"What A-Ning means is that Tanglin is just a bait, deliberately attracting us to the bait and distracting us!"

"Yes!" Chu Yunning nodded, and said, "Yangcheng is defeated without a fight, and it may not be a good thing to vacate the city for us." ”

There are hundreds of miles of land at the border pass at the southern end of Yangcheng, which is equivalent to dividing the complete army into two parts.

Yangcheng was attacked, and the people in the border city would not be able to come for a while.

Similarly, the border city was attacked, and Yangcheng had no way to rush to it first.

"Someone was playing chess, and the next big game of chess was a big game, and we fell into it before we knew it. ”

The more Chu Yunning thought about it, the more he was afraid: "It stands to reason that the prince of Nancheng has been reluctant to return with his troops, and the Tanglin Emperor should send troops to collect it, but the Tanglin Emperor sent Chen Bi's father, and Chen Bi can come and go freely between the two countries, which is too weird." ”

Remember the URL

I didn't figure it out at first, but now Chu Yunning has come back to his senses.

Chen Bi's father was a disguise, and Emperor Tanglin didn't want to collect it at all, just for show.

Otherwise, what is the difference between Chen Bi's father and the prince of Nancheng?

Aren't they all leading troops and not returning?

Emperor Mingwen took a deep breath: "There is an agreement between the three kingdoms to attack the southern end, and the only thing that has not reached an agreement is whoever goes out first, and they all want to pick up ready-made." ”

"Yes!"

"Even the marriage of the West Sea is fake!"

Emperor Mingwen was suddenly angry, with a wave of anger in his heart, and he was played around.

Chu Yunning tightened his face: "Our strength is definitely more than enough to deal with one country, if the three countries unite, they will definitely suffer." ”

Emperor Mingwen stared.

The two of them looked around the map, and after a long time, Chu Yunning suddenly said: "Let's abandon Yangcheng, let's retreat to the border city first, the border city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, first keep the base, and then make plans for the rest." ”

Emperor Ming Wen immediately decided to retreat to the border city.

Everyone doesn't understand, why give up when they have already been defeated.

"That's enough, I've made up my mind, you don't need to say it anymore. ”

Half an hour later, everyone was ready to go, all the way to the border city, and returned to the southern end of the realm.

"From now on, 10,000 soldiers and horses will be drawn out, and they will start patrolling along the border city, three times a day, and if they encounter suspicious people, they must be arrested, and if the local county officials do not cooperate, they will kill the whole family, and they will not be tolerated!" Chu Yunning suggested.

When necessary, be ruthless!

Emperor Mingwen nodded in agreement.

"Send another 10,000 men to see the casualties in the village, men, women and children, all of them can take refuge in the border city, and we will accept them. ”

Many of the soldiers were children of ordinary people, and some of them came from border towns.

It is highly likely that the burned villages still have close relatives.

Therefore, the most important thing at this juncture is to appease people's hearts.

"Just use the 100,000 taels of gold of the abolished prince as a pension, and tell the brothers, don't be in a hurry to take revenge, Nanduan will not forget every innocent person, cheer up!"

Chu Yunning suggested to Emperor Mingwen that these people were going to deliberately provoke and constantly stimulate the southern end, so that the army at the southern end was excited to make some radical moves.

Emperor Mingwen turned to several lieutenant generals and commanded.

After five hours of travel, we soon arrived at the border city.

As expected, all the soldiers were angry, and they couldn't wait to find each other with their swords immediately.

Under the appeasement of several lieutenants, everyone's emotions slowly calmed down.

Inside the tent, Emperor Ming Wen looked at Chu Yunning: "When did you find out that something was wrong?"

"Tanglin shouldn't hurt the innocent this time, and it seems a bit deliberate to grab food. ”

Shen Bi had long followed Nanduan to learn, and the subordinates of the prince of Nancheng also buckled greenhouses and planted vegetables, and the land he occupied was very rich.

So there is no shortage of food yet.

killed people and set fires, blew up the entire village, and it was clear that they were deliberately stirring up public anger and forcing the southern end to fight Tanglin.

The purpose is too obvious.

In addition, Shen Bi kept saying that the prince of Nancheng would definitely be the emperor.

Chu Yunning had to think about it more, if he really wanted to be the emperor, would he expose the uprising?

It's better to conform to the will of heaven and come step by step, anyway, that position will be his sooner or later.

Chu Yunning bit his lip and pondered for a while: "I just have a strong intuition, these are all speculations. ”

Emperor Mingwen was silent: "There are some things that can't be careless, if you want to confirm whether it's true or not, just verify it." ”

"How to verify?" Chu Yunning raised his eyebrows.

"Hit!"

On the way back, Emperor Mingwen had already thought about it.

It's time for Huilu's line to close the net.

...

Tanglin

The prince of Nancheng looked at the large amount of grain that had been collected.

There are also some pots and pans, worn cotton jackets and bedding, and some patches on them, which are patched one by one.

Seeing this, the prince of Nancheng felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"What is the prince thinking?" Shen Bi changed his past gloom and stood beside him in a thick white coat.

Following his line of sight, Shen Bi sighed: "Shizi, there are no immortals in the war, wait for this battle to be over, and everything will return to normal." ”

The prince of Nancheng pursed his lips, sighed, and said, "If this is the price of winning the battle, it is really too cruel. ”

"The prince is kind-hearted, but if this war is not fought, more innocent people will be displaced. Now there must be a wise master to put an end to this troubled time. ”

Shen Bi's hand gently put on the shoulder of the prince of Nancheng, and softly reassured: "War is such a cruel ......"

But what's wrong with these people, they just want to live in peace. ”

The prince of Nancheng couldn't bear it, this was completely different from the killing on the battlefield.

These people are powerless, and they shouldn't have to suffer this.

Shen Bi pulled the prince of Nancheng to walk back, not letting him continue to watch, and comforted: "We have no other way to retreat now, the prince can't be soft-hearted, we have so many soldiers still waiting for you to preside, and they also have thousands of families waiting to go back." ”

Nancheng Wang Shizi took a deep breath: "Well, that's all it can be." ”

Half an hour later, a guard handed Shen Bi a letter.

The letter reads "The man is dead, and the Lord is relieved."

Shen Bi hooked her lips and smiled, and put the letter on the flame to burn.

From then on, she was left with a Shen Bi in this world.

The only one who can accompany the prince of Nancheng can only be himself.

"It's very well done, and this thing is not allowed to be exposed. ”

"Yes!"

Shen Bi came to visit the prince of Nancheng with tonic soup in his hand, and it happened that someone inside was telling the story.

"The Emperor of the South gave up Yangcheng and returned to the border city, and took out 100,000 taels of gold to appease people......"

When the words fell, Shen Bi's face became a little ugly: "Did someone leak the news, how could they return to the border city for no reason?"

Didn't they go back to visit the greenhouse just ten days ago?

That's not right!

Could it be that Chu Yunning is an immortal, and he can actually avoid it in advance.

The three kingdoms have united, gathering more than 100,000 people to prepare for a sneak attack on the border city.

The prince of Nancheng was not surprised at all: "No one can calculate at the southern end, so we should be more cautious." ”

His original intention was not to fight, but to guard the border.

"Shizi, you should think about the hundreds of people in the forbidden Nancheng Palace, we have no choice. ”

Shen Bi was a little dissatisfied in her heart, why could Emperor Mingwen obey Chu Yunning everywhere.

However, the prince of Nancheng has always been a woman and refuses to kill.

How can such a person be a good king of a country?

Therefore, she must exercise and exercise the prince of Nancheng.

The prince of Nancheng did not say a word.

"The Son of Heaven is angry, millions of floating corpses, if there is the slightest dissent to be perceived, what will the emperor think?"

Shen Bi said with some disappointment: "There must be a trade-off between the overall situation and the small situation. ”

"I know. ”

"Now we have to investigate who leaked the news, and I don't believe that the southern end can turn the crisis back and forth. "Shen Bi must find out who is hiding behind the scenes.

Otherwise, there will be endless troubles.

The contest between her and Chu Yunning had just begun.

"Also, the food and cotton jackets outside are not enough at all, this year is a big winter, and many people will freeze to death, so we must store more. Shen Bi said.

The prince of Nancheng has been in the border pass for more than ten years, and every year.

"Will you worry too much, our food is enough to cope with the winter, and it will be good when spring begins. ”

Shen Bi shook his head: "This year is different, it will definitely be a big winter, and no one can stop it." ”

Listening to her oath, the prince of Nancheng had no choice but to accept it.

....

"They took the grain and the cotton clothes and quilts?"

Chu Yunning fell into deep thought, remembered the vision of yesterday's hunting, and heard the soldiers complain that this year's winter was colder than usual.

"Hurry up and let people buy more food and quilts, as well as charcoal fires, and stock up on what was prepared before, these things are not afraid of more, the more the better. ”

She doesn't know history, but it's definitely right to follow Shen Bi.

"Dig cellars, dig a few more cellars, and store all the potatoes and cabbage that have been planted. ”

"Yes!"

Chu Yunning looked at the sky outside the window, gray, as if there was still a heavy snowfall.

Suddenly, Bixiu came in with a letter: "This is a snow pigeon that landed on our roof, and the letter is still tied to its legs." ”

Chu Yunning stretched out his hand to take it, opened it and looked at it, his face changed slightly.

"Miss, is something happening?"

Chu Yunning immediately said: "Let Vice General Li prepare a group of men and horses to follow me, and tell him that he is not allowed to wear military uniforms, be fast!"

Dozens of miles away, a group of people pretended to be soldiers from the border city, collecting grain and quilts from house to house.

Those people mistakenly thought they were soldiers from the southern end, so they poured everything they had, eager to dig out their hearts and lungs.

Despicable and shameless!

Vice General Li rushed to the scene as soon as he heard the news.

"Is this Vice Admiral Wen's handwriting?"

Just in case, she still handed the letter to Vice General Li to read.

Vice General Li recognized it as his former friend at a glance, and was a little skeptical: "Is this credible?"

After all, Vice General Wen betrayed the barracks and took in Xiuxiu.

Chu Yunning said: "I believe not, isn't Liujiacun from Vice General Wen's side?"

He really couldn't joke with the lives of his relatives.

"It's better to believe it than not to believe it, bring the equipment and let's intercept it!" Chu Yunning said.

Vice General Li immediately nodded: "This account should have been settled a long time ago, if I caught him, I would skin him as a human skin lantern!"

A group of people took advantage of the dark night to quietly rush to Liujia Village.

There are not many people she brought, but all of them are good hands with one enemy and one hundred, holding bows and arrows, hiding outside Liujia Village.

After a while, I saw people dressed in the clothes of the soldiers of the border city pushing donkey carts and collecting grain from house to house.

Damn it!

Chu Yunning clenched his fists: "Have you figured out how many people?"

"Vice Admiral Wen said there are about a thousand. ”

"The anesthetic arrow is ready, don't move too much, and quietly solve a group of people. ”

"Yes!"

An hour later, about 200 people were dragged in.

Chu Yunning immediately asked the painter to draw their appearance, and then taught everyone to make human skin masks as quickly as possible.

"Remember, if you can't open your mouth, don't open your mouth, I will put a batch of poison pills in the village, which will create the illusion of a broken throat. ”

"Yes!"

The human skin mask was done before they left.

Three hundred people mixed in, and in the end, before these people started to burn the village, Chu Yunning made people make a movement and scared off the gang.

When the people left, Chu Yunning took the people to the village and returned the grain door to door.

And explain the reason, and also left poison pill weapons for each family, which can paralyze the enemy in case of danger.

She also met Vice General Wen with a guilty face.

"This time, you will be considered guilty of meritorious service, and you will continue to stay in the village to protect everyone. Chu Yunning said.

"Yes. Vice General Wen burst into tears of excitement.

If it weren't for Chu Yunning's soft-heartedness, he would have died a long time ago, let alone come back to honor his parents.

"You and the villagers explain that don't easily trust people in military uniforms, the soldiers at the southern end will not ask the people for food, and you remind everyone that this year may be a cold winter, and you need to stock up on more food and prepare more cotton jackets and bedding. ”

Regarding Chu Yunning's words, Vice General Wen has always been convinced.

"Yes!"

When everything was arranged, she took the people back to the border city.

When he came back, it was already noon the next day, and Emperor Mingwen was standing in the tent with a cold face.

His eyelids jumped in the middle of the night last night, and he came to look for her, only to find that the person was gone.

I heard that she took someone to Liujia Village again

, I didn't close my eyes all night, and I thought about countless possibilities.

"Don't worry, I didn't startle the snake, I just arranged for some people to go over. Chu Yunning said.

Emperor Mingwen asked in a suppressed voice: "Can you tell me in advance about anything next time, so as not to make me afraid." ”

He was scared to death.

Chu Yunning supported his tired body and nodded, he was too tired to run around all night.

"Let's go and rest, I will take Beibei out for a walk. ”

Chu Yunning grinned: "Okay!"
