Chapter 289: Enemy Prediction
"The elder brother is really far-sighted, and the younger brother is so admirable!" Wen Wen saw that his brother's teacup had been emptied, and poured it for him.
He paused, and then asked, "Just now, when I heard the lord of the country talk about the royal conquest, I felt that he was very reasonable. The presence of a king in front of the battle is certainly a morale booster, but it is also very risky. But if you think about it, didn't we also take the lord of the country to personally lead the army south? Brother must have thought of this, right? ”
A look of approval flashed in Wen Lan's eyes: "Gentle, you are indeed not good at marching and fighting, but after this palace curtain, I really can't hide anything from you......"
"Does my brother really have any plans?"
"You've guessed right, the lord of the country is still young, and he refuses to take care of the overall situation in some things. I took him with me just in case, if one day he pointed his blade at me......"
"Brother can find a way to get him to the front in person, and then borrow the hand of the enemy......"
Wen Lan glanced at Wen Wen and motioned for him not to say any more.
"But this is all a last resort, not to mention that Zhu Zhitong has to be given to him before that. With the crown prince between the two, the task of the lord of the country is completed......"
He asked gently, "My brother wants me to take Zhu Zhitong but doesn't send it over, what does this mean?" If the two of them were to get married as soon as possible, wouldn't the brother's plan be realized sooner? ”
Wen Lan shook her head and said, "This matter is urgent. There is an important reason why the lord of the country is helpless against me now is that he knows that only I can find Zhu Zhitong for him. He paused and changed his words: "Or maybe he has come to his senses and knows that only I can stop him from finding Zhu Zhitong." In short, if I don't send Zhu Zhitong to him for a day, he will have to be obedient and obedient. ”
"Then when does the elder brother plan to give the man to the lord of the kingdom?"
Wen Lan pondered for a while and said, "At least I won't hand people over to him until the Taiye City is broken." ”
Gentle puzzled: "Actually, I don't understand, why does my brother have to borrow the son of his two to stabilize the political situation in the future, if we can win this world, can't we still hold this world?" Why give away the fruit you have worked so hard to give away? ”
Wen Lan squinted at him and asked, "Gentle, I heard that you often love peonies, especially white peonies?" ”
Wen Wen was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Brother even knows this." ”
"You've seen so many peonies, have they all borne fruit?"
"Brother said and laughed, how could the peony bear fruit?"
"Then don't you want to plant peonies that don't bear fruit?" As she spoke, Wen Lan put down the teacup and stood up, glanced at the snowfall outside the tent and said, "Sometimes it doesn't bear fruit or the fruit falls into anyone's hands, I don't care, all I care about is the flowering process." Just like the white peony, if the country can be fragrant and beautiful, one season is enough. ”
Then he put on his cloak again and went out of the tent.
This is exactly what it is:
Thousands of miles of north wind condensed snow, and the cold of a city was exhausted.
While the Wen brothers were drinking tea and talking, the aunts and nephews of Su You and Hunying in the lord's tent were also whispering.
Hunying already knew that Su You was lying around him, and he was very familiar with Su You and sent He's second sister out.
"The lord of the kingdom did not punish the defeat of the previous battle today." Hunying said with a smile.
"Whom will be punished? Qi Lie? Or Wenlan? Su You asked rhetorically.
Hunying could sense that Su You was not in a good mood tonight, she could know that Su You didn't like Wen Lan, it was probably because Wen Lan had deceived him before, and I was afraid that no one would mind this kind of thing. But recently, Su You's hatred for Wen Lan seems to have risen to a higher level...... She vaguely felt that there seemed to be another reason. In addition, Su You's majesty as the lord of the country is also increasing day by day, and he is no longer the weak scholar who was humble and respectful when he first arrived in Dadu.
She couldn't help but smile and said: "The lord of the country is lenient, and those two should be grateful." ”
Su You sneered: "Auntie thinks I'm lenient? ”
Hunying became more and more unsure of how to answer.
"Auntie, Qi Lie lost, I really can't bear to be punished. But where is the old fox of Wen Lan to blame? Everyone in the tent tonight knows that he is in the Chinese army, and what does the defeat of the striker have to do with him? If I rebuke him, I will fall into his trap and become a lord of unfairness. And what about him? It makes people feel more magnanimous and selfless. ”
If these words were spoken by someone else, and in Hunying's ears, he would definitely feel that this was possible. But what Hunying is thinking about now is when this kid has become so cautious, and his thoughtfulness is no less than herself.
Is this Mu Yunyou's guidance, or Ye Zhiqiu's edification?
Seeing the puzzled expression on Hunying's face, Su You sighed and said, "Auntie, it's not that I'm suspicious, but I have to do this in front of Wen Lan, and my aunt has also mentioned to me before, don't trust the Blade Clan." I don't know about anyone else, I just think that the most important thing to watch out for in this blade clan is this Wen Lan. ”
Hunying nodded yes and said with a smile: "The lord's thoughts are right, although the lord of the country is still young, but since he has a big responsibility, there is nothing wrong with being careful in everything." Is there something you want to ask if the lord left me to speak tonight? ”
Su You looked around carefully, and then asked in a low voice: "Auntie, I want to ask, since Auntie's Divine Eagle Battalion can detect the enemy's situation, why did Qi Lie lose this time?" I heard that Qi Lie had released the sentry eagle before the war, and after looking at the entire ice field, he never found any hostile situation. Could it be that the sentry eagle also has a time when it looks away? ”
Hunying smiled: "The whistle eagle doesn't look away, but there is a time when it can't see." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"The sentry eagle flies high in the sky, looking down at a clear view, and nothing is missing. However, there are two situations in which the enemy may not be detected. The first is that the enemy is hidden in the forest or in the house, and with the shield, the eagle will naturally not be visible. The second is that the enemy knows the arrival of the Hawk in advance and lies in place and does not move at all, the Hawk can only recognize things that are moving, and if they do not move, they will think they are dead, so they can avoid it. ”
Su You frowned and said, "In this way, isn't it inaccurate to be a sentry eagle?" ”
"That's not the case, when Qi Lie marched this time, there were vast ice fields all the way, and if there were ambushes on the ice fields, the sentry eagles would definitely be able to detect it. Therefore, even if there were, it must have been an ambush in the city or in the woods south of the ice field, and as for the sentry eagle to stay still and hide from the sentry eagle, it is still possible for one or two people to be able to do so, and it is impossible for an army to be completely immobile. So this time the Whistle Hawk did not have a false alarm. ”
Su You thought for a while, and then asked, "So if my aunt puts the sentry eagle in the sky above Linzhou City, can she detect the enemy?" ”
Hunying shook her head: "My aunt has already tried, in the city of Linzhou and the suburbs in the south of the city, they have released sentry eagles to investigate, and there are ambushes everywhere they go." ”
"So much?" Su You was taken aback.
"No, my aunt just said, if the troops are hidden in the house or in the woods, they will not be able to see clearly. It is true that the soldiers of the Golden Feather Battalion are everywhere in the city and south of Linzhou, but the Sentinel Eagle can only see the soldiers walking outside the barracks tent, if the Ming Emperor knows that I will release the Sentinel Eagle, and in turn wants to use the strategy of suspicious soldiers, deliberately set up barracks everywhere to set up tents, then the Sentinel Eagle will not be able to distinguish the authenticity. ”
Hunying laughed to himself and said, "If it is really according to the report of the Whistle Eagle that there are people from the Golden Feather Battalion everywhere, I am afraid that the number of troops will already exceed 200,000 people, which is naturally impossible." ”
Su You also smiled: "I see, Emperor Ming is really a suspicious person, whether she knows that you will release a whistle eagle or not, she also put on such a maze, it can be seen that she is scheming." By the way, my nephew has another thing I want to ask my aunt, and I ask my aunt to answer me truthfully. ”
Seeing that he was solemn, Hunying also asked with a straight face: "Since my nephew called me aunt, I will definitely not deceive." ”
"Whether it is a blue sea or a blue sea, the south is a fertile land, and my aunt really hasn't thought about stepping into the southern region? You must know that Qi Lie and Rob are both eyeing each other and want to find another home. ”
Hunying let out a long breath and said, "What does my nephew want to ask, it turns out to be this." Aunt told you the truth, the blood clan is in the wilderness, and it is understandable that Qi Lie wants to find another place to live, not to mention the southern regions, that is, Wen Lan can really keep his promise and give him the Baodi City of the Blade Clan and the surrounding territories, which is enough for him to settle the clan, so the reason why he wants to follow the southern expedition can be understood by anyone with a discerning eye, and Luo Bu is lack of heart and swallows elephants, and climbs this branch and that branch. But my aunt is different from them, although our Eagle Clan's water and grass are not as rich as the Blade Clan, they also have their own unique places, unlike the Blood Clan, which often suffers from disasters and has no harvest, so I moved the idea of plundering. Moreover...... The most important reason is to follow the precepts of our Eagle Clan. ”
"Clan Training?"
"Yes, our Eagle Clan has had a clan motto since ancient times, and we can never leave Xitai Mountain, where the Eagle God lives, otherwise we will ......"
Su You was very curious and asked, "What else would have happened?" ”
"We will lose the protection of the Eagle God, and the warriors of our Eagle Clan will also lose the divine power to see far and hear deeply."
Su You heard it in his ears and felt a little strange.
He has never believed in any ghosts and gods, but it is difficult to say it directly in front of Hunying's pious expression, but the magical ability of the Eagle Clan is real, so he has to believe it. Could it be that there are really gods on Xitai Mountain? And it can only shelter the people who guard it?
Su You settled down, thinking that he didn't think about these things for the time being, and he had to choose the important questions. He asked again, "So, no matter what happens, my aunt won't take her people to the Southern Regions, right?" ”
"Not bad."
"If that's the case, then my aunt naturally wouldn't want to watch the soldiers of the Eagle Clan die in the battle of the Southern Expedition, right?"
Hunying didn't know what he meant by this, hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.
"But Qi Lie lost, and if Wen Lan plans to attack the city next, she will have to ask my aunt to transfer the strong crossbowmen and the Condor battalion of the Chinese army to the front line......"
