Chapter 16 The war is severe
Marshal's daughter? How can it be? Even Deng Chenglin himself was shocked. Look at her again, she is also a soldier's outfit, but she just looks alike?
"General Yue, he ......" In order to determine Shu Qingyue's identity, Deng Chenglin asked Yue Rongfei. However, as soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by Yue Rongfei.
"General Deng, why didn't you see the marshal and the second general?" Fortunately, Yue Rongfei reacted quickly, stopped what Deng Chenglin was about to say first, and diverted the topic. Otherwise, Shu Qingyue's identity that she had finally concealed was exposed because of Deng Chenglin's words.
When Yue Rongfei spoke, he glanced at Deng Chenglin, and even glanced at Ning Sichen, intending to tell Deng Chenglin that Ning Sichen was present, and it was inconvenient to say something now.
Deng Chenglin quickly understood, he skipped Shu Qingyue, and followed Yue Rongfei to another topic.
However, Deng Chenglin's shocked and suspicious expression when he saw Shu Qingyue, Ning Sichen still saw it in his eyes. As for why Deng Chenglin had such an expression, Ning Sichen guessed that Deng Chenglin might have seen Shu Qingyue before. According to Shu Qingyue, she and Yue Rongfei have known each other for many years and have a close relationship, it is not surprising that Deng Chenglin has seen her, but why is she so surprised? Is it surprised that Yue Rongfei brought a woman in the army? Or are you surprised by Shu Qingyue's identity?
The luster in Ning Sichen's eyes flowed, as if he was thinking about something, and then he looked at Shu Qingyue, and at this time, she was looking back and forth, as if she was looking for someone?
Shu Qingyue?
"General Yue, Ning, General, please follow me to the military tent." Deng Chenglin said. Since it was the emperor's will, even if Deng Chenglin was a little reluctant in his heart, he still called Ning Sichen General Ning.
Deng Chenglin led the way, and the group went to a military tent in the middle of the camp.
However, Shu Qingyue's father Shu Shengxuan and her second brother Shu Zhenxuan were still missing in the military tent.
There was a table in the tent, and there was a cowhide map spread on the case, Yue Rongfei and Shu Qingyue stood on one side of the table, and Ning Sichen and Deng Chenglin stood opposite.
"General Yue, the battle in Shan Yang City is a bit complicated." Deng Chenglin didn't cut directly to the topic, his face was solemn, and he said sternly, as if he wanted them to be mentally prepared in advance.
Deng Chenglin's expression, as well as his tone, made the others immediately feel that the battle of Shanyang City this time was bound to be extremely severe.
Shu Qingyue's heart was beating faster, and people were inexplicably nervous.
Yue Rongfei seemed to sense her uneasiness, and grabbed her wrist with one hand, her wrist was very slender, and the skin of her tentacles was a little cold.
"General Deng, let's talk about it in detail." Yue Rongfei said. No matter how cruel the situation is, he has to face it. And he grabbed Shu Qingyue's hand, but he didn't let go, but pushed harder. Her intuition has always been keen, and she must have had a premonition that this battle might be dangerous, and he was afraid that she might not be able to withstand what Deng Chenglin was going to say next.
Yue Rongfei's hand holding her was very strong, but a state of apprehension still spread uncontrollably in her body.
The position where Ning Sichen was standing happened to be facing Shu Qingyue, and he could clearly see that her frowning brows, slightly pursed lips, and her pale face, she looked worried, as if she was afraid. In addition, Ning Sichen could also see that Yue Rongfei's left hand was tightly grasped on Shu Qingyue's right wrist, and Yue Rongfei was so carefully guarding her side. Ning Sichen had long known that Shu Qingyue and Yue Rongfei had a close relationship, but it was the first time he had seen them act so closely, and at that time, a very strange feeling crossed Ning Sichen's heart.
Deng Chenglin also looked at Shu Qingyue, looking at her, his worry was even heavier.
Shu Qingyue didn't dare to look directly into Deng Chenglin's eyes, she was afraid that she would read some bad information from his eyes.
At this time, Ning Sichen had distracting thoughts, and he didn't notice the pity in Deng Chenglin's eyes when he looked at Shu Qingyue.
Returning to the war, Deng Chenglin, in order to save time, avoided the important and briefly explained the battle situation from the beginning of the war to the present.
As Shu Qingyue expected, there was something else behind the battle of Shan Yang City.
Although she had already predicted it, the battle situation in Shan Yang City was still far beyond Shu Qingyue's expectations, and even Yue Rongfei and Ning Sichen's expectations.
In the past few years, Liang Changguo has been showing weakness to Chu Huiguo, so as to paralyze Chu Huiguo, but he is secretly strengthening his troops and waiting for an opportunity to move. Just six months ago, Liang Changguo finally launched a fierce attack on Shan Yang City, and the real number of people besieging Liang Changguo was not the 100,000 originally reported to the imperial court, but 300,000, a full three times that of 100,000. Liang Changguo took advantage of his unpreparedness and did catch Chu Huiguo off guard, but unfortunately, Liang Changguo still underestimated Chu Huiguo's strength, and the quick battle of the plan finally evolved into a long war. On Chu Huiguo's side, although Shu Shengxuan was personally in command, he still suffered a big loss under the enemy's calculations, especially when the disparity in strength was so huge, coupled with the lack of food and grass and insufficient ordnance preparation, Chu Huiguo's army was forced to a desperate situation step by step.
Chu Huiguo's 100,000 troops resisted the onslaught of the 300,000 army of Liangchang Kingdom, if what Deng Chenglin said was true, it was absolutely unimaginable to ordinary people.
And under this isolated and helpless situation, Chu Huiguo's army could still hold out for six months, looking at the whole world, I am afraid that only Shu Shengxuan and the Shu family army under his leadership can do it.
This is also the reason why Shu Shengxuan will repeatedly ask the imperial court for support.
In fact, as early as a month after the war began, the imperial court received an urgent report of 800 miles from Shanyang City, and Shu Shengxuan wrote in the excerpt of the previous song that the enemy was fierce and asked the imperial court for support. However, the emperor thought that Shu Shengxuan was exaggerating and did not pay attention to it, and did not send troops to support. After that, a long time passed, and there was no urgent report from Shan Yang City, and everyone thought that the war in Shan Yang City was normal. It wasn't until five months later, after receiving the second eight-hundred-mile rush from Shan Yang City, that the emperor decided to send troops to support at the request of Yue Rongfei and others.
The battle in Shan Yang City is obviously extremely bad, and there is obviously a gap of five months between the two urgent reports, but why, no news has been received from Shan Yang City in the middle?
"The marshal sent a total of nine letters and eight hundred miles of urgency, but the arrival of reinforcements was delayed." Thinking of this, Deng Chenglin was also very angry.
Hearing Deng Chenglin's words, the faces of the other three people all changed, but Ning Sichen's surprise was slightly different from that of Shu Qingyue and Yue Rongfei.
Nine seals? But the imperial court received only two. Where did the seven urgent reports in the middle go?
Shu Qingyue calmed herself down, she lowered her eyes, analyzed various links, and straightened out the whole thing.
