Chapter 368, the Liao River is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he has a plan to defend against the enemy on the ice

After Situ Yan turned around and left, Dongfang Shuo curiously inquired about Situ Yan's past.

"What's so strange about this, as long as it is what Yan'er wants, I will arrange it for it! She stayed in the army for my sake, how could I refuse! Duanmu Xuan is also very conflicted, his sweetheart is always by his side, he is happy in his heart, but he is also worried about it.

"Ziheng, I have often heard people say in Beijing that the eldest lady of Situ Mansion is not only outstanding in piano skills, but even witty and strategic, not inferior to men, and even the emperor and Mr. Gongsun have a lot of praise. At first, I thought it was just a rumor, so I didn't care. It wasn't until the emperor gave you a marriage that I was curious to inquire about it. Now that the two armies have converged, I often hear the guards around you talk to you about Miss Situ, and now I can see that he is really extraordinary, but what I care more about is that your Li Yan, who joined the army, can help you defend the city and help the people all the way, and it is also Miss Situ's idea. It's hard to believe, but it's not an exaggeration! Dongfang Shuo is also a subtle observer, just after seeing Situ Yan, he already believes in her previous rumors.

"Xiwen, I don't want to hide Yan'er's affairs from you, but you also know that she has a special identity, and now she is also disguised in the army, only the iron-blooded guard and Li Yan brothers around me know about it, now you know it, don't tell others!" Situ Yan's matter, Duanmu Xuan didn't want to say more, and only whispered.

"It's nature, you can rest assured!" Dongfang Shuo understands that no female dependents are allowed in the army, although Situ Yan has saved many lives, but if the East Window incident happens, I am afraid that no amount of credit will be worth the guilt committed.

"Ziheng. It took us nearly two months to take Changli County, but now we can only see that the Turks are retreating to Liaodong County and it is difficult to advance an inch, what is your best plan? If you can't cross the Liao River before the heavy snowfall, I'm afraid that this battle will be held until the beginning of spring next year! ”

"I originally wanted to wait until the beginning of spring next year to fight, after all, the snow is coming, and it is not wise to raise troops at this time. But the emperor was seriously ill, and before he fainted, he ordered to continue attacking Liaodong County, even if I didn't want to fight, I had to fight, otherwise I would disobey the order. Only this article has made military exploits before will be turned into ashes, and it is a small matter, and it is a big thing to affect Jingzhong's father! ”

"Yes, fortunately, this year's Jizhou and Sizhou cereals have a bumper harvest. Nasizhou Rashi was originally the prince's person, but now in order to tie up with the seven princes, the grain and grass are transported in time. And Chongwen has nothing to say here, there is no shortage of grain and grass this winter. But many of the soldiers had chilblains on their hands and feet. Further north, if it catches up with heavy snowfall, it will be even worse! ”

"Don't worry about herbs, Yan'er has already prepared them in the autumn, and they have already been used by the soldiers with frostbite. He also bought a lot of cheesecloth for those rescued victims to sew gloves, shoes and socks for the army, not only to earn some food, but also to save some silver, to build a house to support their families in the future! ”

"Miss Situ is far-sighted, but she is more competent than me, who is a general!"

"If you like it. Even if you take it, Yan'er doesn't care anyway. She's doing this just to lighten my load, not for fame! Even these things cannot be mentioned in front of outsiders except for you and me! ”

"What do I want these fames for, you better keep it for yourself!" How could Dongfang Shuo compete with Duanmu Xuan for fame and fortune, but learning about these things deepened his understanding of Situ Yan, and he even had the urge to talk to him in detail.

After nightfall, Situ Yan took Chiyu into the Chinese army's tent, Duanmu Xuan and Dongfang Shuo set up the wine and food and were sitting on the side waiting for her.

"Heyang County Lord Situ Yan has seen General Dongfang!" Situ Yan saluted Dongfang Shuo first, and then sat down.

"Future brother and sister, I am commensurate with Brother Ziheng, this gift will not be done in the future. Otherwise, Ziheng's pair of knife eyes will stare at me with a chill all over my body! Dongfang Shuo had a rare opportunity to tease Duanmu Xuan, how could he let it go.

"The general of the East is not bound by common sense, which shows that he is bright and upright, and he is actually a great man's deeds. I'm doing five at home, just call me Xiao Wu like Brother Chongwen! ”

"Oh, it turns out that Chongwen has already met the little fifth sister, but I'm late!" People from martial arts backgrounds really don't like those daughters in the boudoir, twisting and pretending. On the contrary, a person with a hearty personality like Situ Yan is even more satisfied.

"Okay, if you go down politely, the food will be cold!" Duanmu Xuanyi pulled Situ Yan and let her sit beside him, and Dongfang Shuo consciously sat opposite.

"Yan'er, the Liao River has not yet frozen, I ordered someone to catch a few fish when I patrolled the river today, you can taste it!" Situ Yan likes to eat fish and seafood, this place is not near the sea, there is naturally no seafood, but it is close to the river, and the river has not yet frozen, it is a good time to fish.

"Well, this braised fish is full of heat, but it's hard for the guy, it's good that this marching and fighting person can eat and breathe, don't be so troublesome in the future!" Situ Yan ate happily, but she didn't want Duanmu Xuan to break the rules of the army for her appetite.

"It's just a fish to burn, you don't need them!" Duanmu Xuan's face was mysterious. Mo Feng couldn't stand standing behind Duanmu Xuan anymore, "Miss Situ, this fish was burned by the young master himself!" ”

"Mo Feng, you talk a lot today, go out to eat, I don't need you to guard here!" Although Duanmu Xuan's mouth was stern, Situ Yan could still see Mo Feng's happy smile, which showed that the master and servant were singing double reeds in front of her.

"Thank you!" But such a pampering Situ Yan was warm in her heart and was not debunked.

"Ziheng, Mo Feng doesn't say it, I don't even dare to move the chopsticks, which other dishes on this table are prepared by you personally for the little fifth sister, you first say don't wait for me to eat it, you have to shoot me in the eyes again!"

"You can't stop your mouth when you eat, except for this fish, everything else is made by the guy, you just have to eat!" Seeing that Duanmu Xuan was also deflated, Dongfang Shuo's face was happy.

"General Dongfang often lives in Beijing, he hasn't eaten anything good, how can he like these coarse vegetables and light rice in the Italian army, if you want me to say that Brother Xuan is not afraid to withdraw these food that is not on the table, and wait for the chef to be invited from Beijing to make a banquet and invite General Dongfang to have a full meal!" Seeing her sweetheart deflated, where would Situ Yan give up. smiled and ordered someone to bring down a table of food. Rather than give this man food, starve him.

"Ahh What did the little fifth sister say, this is really 'not a family that doesn't enter the door', is it my fault as a brother? I don't dare to make fun of Ziheng anymore in the future. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even stutter anymore! This is the first time Situ Yan has spoken to Duanmu Xuan in front of outsiders, and Duanmu Xuan was so happy that he drank three glasses in a row, which suppressed the ecstasy in his heart.

Situ Yan was just talking, and when she saw Dongfang Shuo begging for mercy, she motioned to Chiyu to put down the food and retreat.

"Brother Xiwen, five years younger is not sensible, and if you are offended, I hope Brother Xiwen will not be surprised!" Situ Yan picked up her wine glass. Toasted Dongfang Shuo, and this matter was over.

"Little fifth sister, I have doubts in my heart!" Dongfang Shuo has a lot of questions to ask.

"Brother Xiwen and Brother Xuan are brothers with different surnames. As long as Xiao Wu can say it, he will know everything! ”

"Okay, the little five girls are really refreshing!" Dongfang Shuo put down the wine glass, glanced at Duanmu Xuan, and saw that he didn't stop him, so he had doubts in his heart. "Little five sisters. Ziheng killed the enemy in front of the battle, but you asked the Li Yan brothers to build a 'wounded soldier village' in the rear, these have not touched the imperial court with a grain and a silver, not to mention a hundred thousand taels of silver, I refuse to know that Situ Mansion has only been in Beijing for three years, and the mansion was still a military household before, where did you get so much silver taels? ”

"Is this all Brother Xiwen wants to ask?" Judging from Situ Yan's view of people and Yu Wei, I am afraid that what Dongfang Shuo wants to know is not this matter. It's throwing bricks and stones.

"This~!?" Dongfang Shuo was really hesitant when he was asked. In fact, he wanted to ask Situ Yan how to know how to use soldiers. The principles of governing the country, but I am afraid that Situ Yan may not be willing to say it.

"Xiwen, Yan'er has already said it just now, as long as she can say it, she will tell you, you just ask. If she can't say it, she won't say a word even if you ask! Duanmu Xuan let go, and Dongfang Shuo dared to ask in detail.

"Although Situ Mansion has not been in Beijing for a long time, I have been in business since I left home at the age of six, but fortunately, the business of the shops is very prosperous, and I can still take out more than 100,000 taels of silver! As for Brother Xiwen's question about the principles of governing the country and the way of using troops, I can only say that I can only say that I read it from the book, as for what kind of book it is, and when I read it, please forgive me for inconvenience! Although Situ Yan is vague, every sentence is credible, which shows that she regards Dongfang Shuo as a friend, not intentionally deceiving.

"Okay, since it's inconvenient for the little five sisters to tell each other, and I'm not good at being strong, but I heard Brother Li Yan say that the little five sisters have unique insights into war games, I don't know if you can let me see one or two things later!"

"Brother Xiwen commands 100,000 soldiers and horses, I am just a little woman, how dare I get an axe! However, Brother Meng Xiwen values it, and Xiao Wu wants to ask Brother Xiwen for a lesson or two! Duanmu Xuan sat on the side, looking at Situ Yan with a faint smile, and there was another burst of pantothenic acid in his heart for no reason. But he also knew that Dongfang Shuo was just Aicai, not that he had no thoughts about Situ Yan, so he had to swallow this vinegar by himself.

After the meal, the three of them took out the map, and the wargame deduction was just talking on paper, but it was even more subtle to use the soldiers.

"Wonderful, really wonderful! Little five sisters, now that the Turks have retreated to the Liao River, the emperor has ordered to continue the attack, I don't know if the little five sisters have a good plan? Dongfang Shuo was so excited that he asked Situ Yan about the method of retreating.

"Xiwen!" Duanmu Xuan wanted to speak out to stop him, but he was already a step too late.

"Brother Xuan, I know you don't want to upset me, but seeing you getting thinner and thinner, I don't feel good about it!" Situ Yan understood that Duanmu Xuan didn't want her to worry about it, and he didn't want to bother her with these things.

"When you entered the barracks, we said that we would leave the war to me, but now we are bothering you with these things!" Duanmu Xuan didn't have an idea, but he hadn't thought it through yet, so he didn't send troops for a long time.

"Although I have not married you as a wife, my name has been decided, what is wrong with my husband and wife singing with my husband and wife!" Situ Yan's words are right to the point, Duanmu Xuan looked at his sweetheart with a happy face, if it wasn't for Dongfang Shuo's presence, I was afraid that he would have taken his sweetheart into his arms at this time.

"Ziheng, I'm in a hurry for a while, and I hope you're not weird!" Dongfang Shuo was also a little embarrassed, he was a big general, but he wanted to ask a little woman for advice.

"I understand!" Duanmu Xuan patted Dongfang Shuo's shoulder, even if he didn't care about it anymore.

"Brother Xuan should have a plan in his heart, you might as well say it, one person is short-minded, and two people are long."

"Although it has reached the dry period now, the water of the Liao River is still rushing down, and I am afraid that I will be ambushed by the Turks if I cross the river by boat! You can only wait until the river freezes in the middle of winter before crossing the river, and then you can do it without building ships and sailors! ”

"But now that the emperor's order is in his body, the emperor is unconscious, if he doesn't force the crossing, he will be suspected of resisting and disobeying the order!" This is what Duanmu Xuan is most worried about.

"That's what I thought before, the river freezes in the middle of winter, and it's a good time to fight. As for the emperor, Brother Xuan was not afraid to play a fold with Brother Xiwen, so he said that the battle across the river needed the support of sailors, and the river surface that came and went to the border city in Beijing would freeze, and even if he could not wait for the emperor's will, Brother Xuan could continue to crusade and fight in the north. That is, the fighter plane was not delayed, and the order was not disobeyed! ”

"Sure enough, it's a brilliant plan!" Before Duanmu Xuan could think about it, Dongfang Shuo stood up first, they only thought about how to hide it, but they didn't expect to take the initiative to take the lead.

"As for the details, it's up to Brother Xuan and Brother Xiwen to discuss, I'm too lazy to use my brain!" Situ Yan intended to mention something, and seeing that the two of them knew it, she didn't need to say more.

Sending Situ Yan back to his military tent, Duanmu Xuan and Dongfang Shuo drafted an excerpt of 800 miles overnight and sent it to the capital urgently. This night, Situ Yan's tent was burning silver charcoal in the fire cage, and there was a hand and foot warmer stove in the quilt, and the north wind whistling in her ears sounded like a lullaby. Duanmu Xuan is worried these days, she is not having a good time, it is rare that things have settled, she can finally sleep peacefully.

When the sky was white, Duanmu Xuan quietly walked in, and the snow wolf was guarding the tent, but he only moved his ears, and he didn't even open his eyes. And Chiyu slept on the couch outside the screen and woke up naturally. "Young master!"

"Shh Duanmu Xuan hurriedly made a silent action, listened carefully, and saw that there was no movement in the inner tent, so he was relieved, "Yan'er slept well last night?" ”

"Miss has been sleeping until the end of the day, waking up before dawn, but last night I slept sweetly, and I haven't seen any movement at this time!"

"You can sleep too, I'll go into the inner tent and take a look!" Duanmu Xuan nodded, and walked into the inner tent in a few steps, and a petite figure on the bed was curled up in the quilt, revealing only a head of hair and a thin little face.

"Yan'er, it's been a hard time these days!" Duanmu Xuan caressed the beauty's cool little face, and his heartache was red at the same time.

How could someone approaching Situ Yan be unalert, but the snow wolf did not howl, and Chiyu did not make a sound to stop, and he didn't need to open his eyes to know the identity of the person.

Stretching out the small hand hidden in the quilt, he grabbed Duanmu Xuan's restless big hand, "Fool, I don't know how to rest if I haven't slept all night!" ”

"How does Yan'er know that I haven't slept all night?"

"Guess!" Situ Yan hadn't slept enough yet, so she didn't want to say much, squinted her eyes slightly, gave Duanmu Xuan a light smile, turned over and fell asleep again.

Duanmu Xuan waited until Situ Yan fell asleep, and kissed the beauty on the forehead before getting up and leaving. (To be continued.) )
