Chapter 229: Give it a go
A day later, Yuran entered Cuiyang City. At dusk, Yuran came to the border of Cuiyang City, that is, the western border of Ningguo.
General Peng Yue was the general of this war in the west, and he was also promoted by Yuran.
After learning of Yu Ran's arrival, Peng Yue first came forward to greet him, and when he saw Yu Ran, he suddenly knelt down on one knee and bowed his head to Yu Ran and hugged his fist, "Your Highness!" It is the last general's inability to make His Highness pregnant in August and rush to come, please punish His Highness! β
"You get up first." The bottom of Yuran's eyes has changed from the usual clarity to depth.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Peng Yue then got up.
Zhuo Lengyan was holding Yu Ran's arm on the left side, while Qin Xi was walking on the right back side of Yu Ran, obviously protecting Yu Ran very well.
A few people walked to the main tent, and Yu Ran stood in front of the terrain map and paused for a moment to observe, then turned his head and said, "What does the general think here now?" β
"Your Highness, there are spies secretly following the Chinese army and sending back the news, and the generals of the Chinese army now leading the army seem to be ...... Is it ......" Peng Yue was halfway through his words, paused again and again, and his eyes subconsciously seemed to want to look away, not daring to face Yu Yuran directly.
Seeing Peng Yue's hesitant performance, Yu Ran rarely condensed ice under his eyes, and for a while, it was like a cold moon, like a sharp sword. She lowered her voice and suddenly shouted in a deep voice, "Raise your head and look at me!" β
"Your Highness, I ......" Peng Yue knew Yu Ran's temperament, his body was stiff for a moment, he clenched his hands into fists, although he was leaning over, he still had the courage to raise his gaze and fall on Yu Ran's face.
"You're standing up straight!" Yu Ran let out a low voice, her willow eyebrows twisted together, and there was a sharp aura in her eyes.
She used this bright and eye-catching gaze to directly approach Peng Yuedi's eyes, but the expression on her face became more and more calm and profound, which seemed to make the people around her instantly feel the condensation of the atmosphere.
She said, "At times like these, you have to give me more toughness!" Don't forget, you are now the general in the western border of Ningguo, and all the soldiers below will look to you. But what about you? What are you doing and what are you saying? You don't even dare to shout the names of local generals? Murong Raid, Murong Raid, just these three words! Is it that hard to say?
"If even you, the general of the defending army, are cowering at the name of a Chinese general, what kind of system is it? What will the people below think of you? How can the morale of our army be boosted? How convincing are you?
"Yes, he Murong Xi is indeed my concubine and the father of the child in my womb. But General Peng, don't forget, I'm Helian Yu! At this moment, in my Helian Yu's eyes, the country is the country, and love is love, and I can tell it very clearly. All I want now is for you to keep my Ningguo territory from the wanton aggression of other countries! Do you understand? β
Yu Ran's words were loud.
She stood in the center, waved her hand, flicked her sleeves, and gave people a sense of heroic and sharp but gentle atmosphere.
Now Yu Ran is wearing a dark and white smoke skirt, and then look at her abdomen is even more rounded, she holds her simple hair, and the makeup between her eyebrows and eyes is a light rouge water color.
The beauty and qualities that a woman should have, it seems that she has all of them. But in the minds of everyone present, it seems that another appearance of the woman can emerge - that is, she is dressed in a man's * clothes, a brocade robe, a jade crown and her hair, and her heroic appearance.
Yes, in the hearts of many people present, especially for those generals, they are most familiar with the appearance of Yuran's son when he was the crown prince. At this moment, they looked at the jade dye, as if the jade dye in front of them was gradually overlapping with the appearance of the young man at that time.
They immediately reacted that the woman in front of them was none other than herβshe was the regent of the current Ning Kingdom, and she was the crown prince of the Ning Kingdom yesterday!
She did not have the blood of the Helian clan in her body, but she was affirmed by the ancestor Helian Qing with her ability and strength, and completely became a member of the Helian clan.
Moreover, it was she who gradually brought Ning Guo to a prosperous and strong future, and made Ning Guo jealous enough!
Although their men always say that women should raise their children at home, it should be their men who fight on the battlefield and fight for the country. But for Helian Yu, they had to obey, and they thought that they couldn't reach Helian Yu's kind of heart and talent.
"Your Highness! Just now, the last general was stupid, and I asked His Highness to punish the last general strictly to establish the prestige of the army! Peng Yue suddenly woke up.
He understood that Yu Ran was standing here now, representing her status as the regent of Ning Kingdom, and even more so representing the entire Ning Kingdom. Yu Ran now just wants to put himself in Ning Guo's shoes and put his love in the second place, but he hasn't thought about it yet, and he is obsessed with thinking that Rong Xi is Yu Ran's concubine, so he is worried about Yu Ran's mood and doesn't dare to speak.
He Peng Yue is really stupid!
"If you say strictly, the general's expectations will be disappointed. At this time, the western border of our Ning Kingdom still needs to be guarded by the general and the army. The general was given ten sticks for himself, and then keep in mind what you should do now. "There is a glow in the jade-dyed phoenix eyes. She raised her chin slightly, and there was a free smile on her face, as if the brilliance of heaven and earth was gathered in her eyes.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Peng Yue's eyes lit up, and he bowed respectfully towards Yu Ran, and his voice in reply was loud and firm, sweeping away his previous hesitation.
Peng Yue's back disappeared into the tent, and Yu Ran left the lieutenant general behind, and then dismissed the soldiers who followed in.
"Your Highness, do you want to sit down for a while?" It was Qin Xi who spoke up.
"No, I'm not tired yet." Tamazen's gaze was fixed on the terrain map that had been marked countless times, and she slowly raised her eyebrows as she watched. There was a moment of silence, and her mind seemed to be thinking, "There is a valley to the east of here?" She pointed to the side of the map and asked Xiao Yun, the lieutenant general standing beside her.
Xiao Yun glanced at the place where Yu Ran fingers, then nodded and said: "It is true that in order to prevent the Chinese army from going around the valley to encircling the western border, our people have already gone to that valley to investigate, and found that although it can pass people, the terrain is quite narrow, and it may not be easy for the army to cross it." β
"And what about the terrain on the west side?"
"To the west is a wilderness, with mostly forest roads and low-lying terrain, and there have been several heavy rains a few days ago, and there must have been a lot of water, and maybe the rivers will wash away." Xiao Yun explained.
"You sent someone to secretly observe the movements of the Huaguo army before, right? Did they come from the main road after they crossed the border of the merchant kingdom? The glow in Jade's eyes flickered like the thoughts in her heart right now.
Xiao Yun looked a little embarrassed when he was asked this, but there was Peng Yue's example just now, so although he was asked about the embarrassment, he still hugged his fist towards Yu Ran, and responded seriously in a loud voice; "Your Highness, our men just followed the Chinese army out of the Shang border. Because Hua Jun seems to be particularly sensitive to the surrounding environment, as long as we have an eyeliner, we will soon be discovered. β
"It's not surprising." Yu Ran's expression did not change, he just pursed his lips slightly, then turned his head towards Zhuo Lengyan and said: "Send two people who are more good at concealing their breath to take a look, if there is an internal trend in the Chinese army, report it in time, if not, then forget it." β
"Yes, miss." Zhuo Lengyan bowed his head in response, and then immediately turned around and walked outside the tent. Whether it's the response or the action of leaving, it's all clean and neat.
"So now our concern is that we don't know whether the Chinese army will go through the forest in the west, or from the valley in the east, or whether it will go from the main road openly after leaving the border of the Shang Kingdom." Qin Xi's gaze swept over the map, and then moved to the delicate side face of Yu Ran.
"In fact, there is another possibility, that is, their troops are divided into three routes, scattered from three sides, and are ready to surround our army from three sides, and give us a surprise." Yu Ran pondered for a moment, and the moment he turned his head, he happened to meet Qin Xi's gaze. Her eyes twinkled, and she quickly moved away.
"But in this way, we are faced with four possibilities." Xiao Yun also frowned tightly for a while, and his expression became more and more solemn.
Hearing this, Yu Ran nodded and said, "That's right, that's what they're for." If we don't have the courage to strike first at first, we will have to face the multiple possibilities that follow. In our current situation, there is no way to disperse our forces and go around, and this is the most difficult part for us. β
"But the Chinese army will arrive in less than one day, and if we think of a way at that time, we will have to fight hard." Qin Xi's tone remained calm, he held one hand in front of him, and there was a sense of clouds and mist rolling in his warm eyes in the past.
"Since no matter what we do now, there are risks to be taken, why don't we just give it a go?" Yu Ran suddenly raised his eyes, and there seemed to be a flash of brilliance under his eyes, this brilliance was as pressing as a blade, and it seemed that he didn't need any eyes to stop being angry.
"Your Highness, please speak." Xiao Yun turned around, leaned over and said.
"We have a thousand men each lurking in the forest road to the west and the valley entrance to the east, and the rest of the army is on the main road." Yu Ran said firmly.
Xiao Yun raised his head and seemed a little surprised, "Are there only a thousand elite soldiers in the west and east in the east, will it be too few?" β
Yuran opened and closed his eyes, shook his head and said, "No." Rong Xun's thoughts have always been similar to mine, and what I am doing now should probably have a general direction in his mind. Therefore, we are not for Rong Xian to see, but for his soldiers. Rong Xi was temporarily transferred to be a general, and the people under him must not be familiar with him. If you are not familiar with it, you will not have complete trust. All our men have to do is to make the momentum louder, so that the Chinese army will mistakenly think that we have a lot of people in ambush where they are going to appear, at least until they really understand, and make them waver. β
