Chapter 3: Conversation

"Lord Zuo Yan, if you have anything to say, just say it." Yu Qingling and Zuo Yan left the mansion and came to a small teahouse and sat down.

Zuo Yan put away his smile and looked at Yu Qingling with some seriousness: "Your Royal Highness's royal army is passing by here, but there is a war nearby?"

"It's a secret in the army, so it's inconvenient to tell others, but Lord Zuo Yan used to be a member of the Supervision Yuan, which makes me feel at ease, so it's okay to tell you." Yu Qingling picked up the teacup surrounded by mist and watched Zuo Yan's reaction.

The left diaphragm was very calm. Yu Qingling nodded with satisfaction, dealing with things in a hurry, and always questioning what others said. This is indeed the style of the Supervisory Yuan.

"Lord Zuo, I won't hide it from you, the city next to Luoshui Town was attacked by the Protoss soldiers, and only the left wing army on the border of Shui was struggling to hold on, but its strength was not good, and now it is trapped in the city of water. Our royal army was ordered to go to support, and because the city was under siege, we temporarily garrisoned in Luoshui. ”

Zuo Yan frowned when he heard this: "If the war breaks out, will it affect Luoshui Town?"

"Lord Zuo, I don't dare to promise you anything, if the war breaks out, no one can predict what will happen."

"Your Highness, Weichen has a doubt, it seems that Water City is so close to Luoshui Town, why don't we know that such a big thing happened?" Zuo Yan's expression became more and more nervous.

"Lord Zuo, this is a military secret."

Zuo Yan heard Yu Qingling say the four words of military secrets before he realized that he had overpassed, and hurriedly owed his body: "Weichen overstep, please forgive Your Highness."

Yu Qingling waved her hand and said, "It's fine."

When Zuo Yan sat up straight again, Yu Qingling slowed down her tone and asked, "It shouldn't be Mayor Chen who invited me today, right?"

Zuo Yan soothed his nervous demeanor, and his signature smile appeared on his face again: "Your Highness, if Weichen doesn't take advantage of Mayor Chen's prestige, how can he see His Highness."

Yu Qingling lifted the veil in half and took a sip of tea, the fragrance of tea soaked the entire mouth, making the tired mouth wake up instantly after talking too much. A burst of refreshment. Yu Qingling didn't know that when she lifted the veil, Zuo Yan, who was sitting opposite, was stunned, his lips were slightly open, his eyebrows were picturesque, he couldn't think of a good adjective for a while, and after a while, a word appeared in his mind - Fenghua peerless, yes, there is no more suitable word than this. A young hero, a pillar of the country, with bright eyes and bright teeth, ice muscles and snow bones. The girl in front of her has both man-like strength and rare beauty in the world.

"Lord Zuo?" Yu Qingling saw that Zuo Yan's eyes were a little confused, and shouted in confusion.

"Oh Your Highness, in fact, when I saw the army coming, I expected that there would be a war, but I didn't expect that it would be so close to Luoshui Town, and there will always be sacrifices in wars, I hope that Your Royal Highness's royal army can try their best to protect the safety of the residents of Luoshui Town, and not plunder in the city. On the other hand, we volunteered to provide supplies for His Royal Highness's royal army. ”

Yu Qingling sneered in his heart: It was natural for the army to collect food in the garrison, but it became a condition for negotiation in his mouth, and he was really a smart person. She felt glad that she hadn't let Xuanyu come to negotiate with such a smart person, and if she was not careful, she was afraid that the royal army would not even be qualified to collect food here.

"Of course, it is the duty of the army to protect the people of the Yu Clan," Yu Qingling's tone was meaningful.

Zuo Yan heard the meaning of Yu Qingling's words: Our army has spent troops to protect you, shouldn't it be natural for you to provide food?

Zuo Yan coughed embarrassedly twice: "Your Highness, although our Luoshui Town is not as luxurious as Yudu, it has always been lush and beautiful, if we suffer a war, our Luoshui Town will suffer a lot of losses!"

"Isn't it true that our royal army has no losses in bloody battles on the front line? I thought that Lord Zuo was a person who understood. Yu Qingling raised her voice and put on a majestic posture.

Zuo Yan felt a burst of oppression, it was the majesty of the royal family, the majesty of the ruler.

Zuo Yan wanted to say something more, but he didn't dare to say it. "Okay, Your Highness, as you said, our Luoshui Town will fully support the Royal Army and be the backup of the Royal Army,"

Yu Qingling softened her face and didn't say anything.

Seeing that Yu Qingling had no anger just now, Zuo Yan tentatively asked, "Can the materials brought by His Highness from Yudu be guarded by a special person?"

"Naturally."

"The materials that His Highness brought this time must not be a few, right?"

Yu Qingling didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said categorically: "Military secrets."

Zuo Yan smiled: "Your Highness, now we should be allies, Yudu is so far away from Luoshui, and the Military Justice Department of Yudu can't control it." However, the support of the royal army is in the hands of Luoshui Town, and if we don't know each other enough, I'm afraid it won't be enough to convince the public. ”

Zuo Yan was threatening her, threatening her with the royal army and Rushui City, she felt a burst of anger, and she suddenly thought that wouldn't it be better if she destroyed Luoshui Town first and let them obediently hand over the supplies? She knew that Mayor Chen was just a puppet, and what really controlled the entire Luoshui Town was the half-white-haired man opposite her, and Yu Qingling's side showed a murderous aura. The subordinates didn't feel comfortable touching the Bright Moon Sword on their waists.

Zuo Yan felt a heavy murderous aura enveloping him, and hurriedly showed a flattering smile, but what he said made Yu Qingling have to let go of the idea of killing him.

"Your Highness, if the negotiation is really not appropriate, all the people of Luoshui Town are willing to take up arms and fight with your royal army, anyway, when the Protoss comes, it is better to die than to fight with your royal army for their own survival, there is a dead end on the left and right, and we Luo Shui are not afraid!"

Speaking of which, Yu Qingling couldn't wait to kill him with a sword, when the foreign enemy was in danger, Luo Shui actually wanted to rebel! If you kill him, Luo Shui may really be the opposite. The royal army is not afraid of those people in Luoshui Town, but it is very stupid to fight with their own people when the big war is coming, which will not only waste a lot of troops, but also greatly reduce the morale of the army. In fact, it is more that Yu Qingling can't bear it, and can't bear to let the prosperous Luoshui Town become Xihe City two years ago, and there is no grass in the past.

For the sake of the country, Yu Qingling can take up arms, but these Yu people are the most innocent, and she can't meet them.

Yu Qingling suppressed her anger and made her voice sound as calm as possible: "Lord Zuo Yan is actually curious, so it's not a problem to tell you."

Zuo Yan took a deep breath, just now he was wandering on the line of life and death, a little bit wrong, not only his own life will be explained here, but also the people of Naluoshui Town will also be buried for him. When he thought about it later, he still unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat at this moment.

"Lord Zuo, there are indeed a lot of materials we have transported from Yudu, and there are also soldiers with special guards."

Zuo Yan regained his composure, and showed his trademark smile again: "Your Highness may wish to hand over the food to us for safekeeping, so as to save the troops escorting the grain back and forth, escorting the food, our militia in Luoshui Town can do it, please rest assured, Your Highness."

"Good"

Zuo Yan didn't seem to expect Yu Qingling to agree so quickly, so he was stunned for a second and stared straight at Yu Qingling.

"There is no suspicion in employing people, no suspicion in people, I have decided to promise you, then I will trust you 100%." Yu Qingling explained with him.

Zuo Yan was very moved, he had never been believed in this way. He was devastated by war since he was a child, and both his father and mother were mistakenly killed by war. Later, by chance, he entered the Inspectorate, and his most profound sentence was, don't trust anyone. Now that he has resigned from his high position and returned to his hometown Luoshui, he led Luoshui Town to prosperity, but he gave all the credit to Mayor Chen, his purpose is to make Luoshui Town peaceful, prosperous and healthy. Unexpectedly, he encountered war again, and the tragic scenes of the war when he was young emerged from his mind.

At the end of the negotiations, both of them exhaled deeply. Then they looked at each other and smiled.

"Your Highness, this negotiation is the most terrible I have ever experienced."

"Lord Zuo Yan laughed."

After ending this negotiation, Yu Qingling returned to the camp with ease, and Xuanyu hurriedly greeted him: "Your Highness, it's not good, the Protoss Army has reached a distance of six hundred meters from Luoshui."

Yu Qingling seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on her head, and the ease just now disappeared immediately.

"Is it the main force of the Protoss?"

"Your Highness, I'm not sure, the city is still surrounded by heavy troops, and these legions seem to have fallen from the sky."

"Send a few scout legions to find out the strength of the army." Yu Qingling looked at the military map on the table with a cold expression.

Xuanyu received the order, gave a military salute, and left Yu Qingling's room. The window in the room was ajar, and a gust of wind blew, and the broken hair between Yu Qingling's forehead was blown up. Yu Qingling sat motionless in her chair, staring at the military map.

On the second day, Xuanyu found Yu Qingling, who was inspecting the soldiers' drills, "Your Highness, the scouts have returned to report, those Protoss legions are ready to go, with high morale, strict discipline, high combat effectiveness, and a large number of people, they should be the main force of the Protoss." ”

"Got it."

Xuanyu experienced the war for the first time and was very excited, and Xiang Yu Qingling, regardless of his identity, analyzed the battle situation.

"Your Highness, the main forces of the Protoss have all gathered in Luoshui Town, at this time, the Encirclement of the Protoss must have loosened a lot, we can take this opportunity to reach the City of the Water and join the left wing army."

Yu Qingling did not interrupt her and listened carefully to the analysis of Deputy General Xuanyu. At the end, Yu Qingling nodded lightly at Xuanyu in agreement.

Xuanyu was very happy to be appreciated by Yu Qingling, and gave a military salute to Yu Qingling and left.

Yu Qingling looked at Xuanyu's light steps because of her happiness. Shaking his head, "What if it's just a ploy of the Protoss?"

At the royal army meeting, Xuanyu got Yu Qingling's permission to say what he had said before.

For a while, there was a discussion at the meeting, and the voices of the people seemed to listen to whoever had the loudest voice, and the voices of those generals were louder than the other. Yu Qingling did not stop, unlike the chaos of the meeting, she sat quietly in the middle without saying a word, as if she could not hear the noise around her.

This is Yu Qingling's habit of leading troops, and every time she holds a meeting, she will let all the generals present express their opinions. She knew that if they were not allowed to express their opinions, they would hold their words in their stomachs, and no one would obey anyone, and this scene would be difficult to control, even if the order was finally given, those generals would not work hard for a military order that they did not approve of, and their morale would be very scattered. When they are all done communicating, they will be able to discover some loopholes in their ideas, and finally unify a strategy that satisfies Yu Qingling.

But this time, there were two opposing thoughts, and Yu Qingling was not puzzled, because she had expected it a long time ago.

At the meeting, the generals of the royal army were divided into two factions, one of which agreed to take the opportunity to attack the city and join the left wing army. The other faction is worried that this is the ploy of the Protoss, to trick the royal army into the city of water, and then use the absolute superiority of the army to catch the turtle in the urn, which is also what Yu Qingling is worried about.

After the discussion, the whole conference room fell silent, and the sound of breathing could be heard one after another, and everyone was waiting for the decision of Yu Qingling, the supreme commander of the royal army.

Yu Qingling looked around at all the royal generals present, the voice was not loud but everyone heard it clearly.

"I think the proclamation analysis makes sense."
