"Report! The remnants of the Taiping thieves in the city have basically been cleared, and only more than 200 thieves escaped from the wall in small boats! ”

Standing on top of the tower of Jiangling City, looking at the corpse of his old subordinate Feng He, Liang Cheng let out a long breath. Suddenly, as if he had been shocked by something, he turned his head suddenly, looked at the herald in astonishment, and said in a condensed voice, "Hmm? ―What did you just say? The remnants of the Taiping Army in the city have basically been cleared? ”

It's no wonder that Liang Cheng was so stunned, after all, it was only half an hour for the Zhou soldiers to attack Jiangling City, how could they suppress the tens of thousands of Taiping troops in the city? In such a short period of time, it is not easy to even grab the other three walls.

"This ・・・・・・ General Huiyu, after investigation, the Taiping army in the city only has 5,000 people on the west side of the city wall!"

"What?" Liang Cheng was stunned.

The huge Jiangling City, could it be said that there are only the 5,000 Taiping troops led by Feng Xi?

"The other three walls ......"

"After verification, they are all people in the city!" The herald clasped his fists and replied, "It is said that under the coercion of the Taiping thieves, they put on thin armor and pretended to be guards, and when our army reached the city wall where it was located, the people surrendered one after another......

"......" Liang Cheng opened his mouth, dumbfounded.

I remember that when he first climbed the city tower, he glanced at the other three city walls, only to see the crowds on the city wall, and now he knew that it was actually unarmed people, in other words, the huge Jiangling City was only the 5,000 Taiping army led by Feng Xi before.

"丨Where's Ji Jiaoqing's team in the sky?" Liang Cheng asked in a deep voice.

"General Huiyu, according to the people in the city, the day after the rebel king Li Yan led 40,000 Jiangling soldiers to leave the city, Liu Qing led a large army to leave Jiangling, and he didn't know where to go, leaving only Feng Xi, the general in the army, to guard the city......"

"Are Feng Xi's 5,000 soldiers outcasts?" Liang Cheng's lieutenant Wang Huai frowned and interjected.

Liang Cheng shook his head when he heard this, and said with a sigh, "It shouldn't be an abandoned son, otherwise, there would be no small boat outside the northern city wall that will be used when the thief army withdraws・・・・・・"

"Hmm!" Wang Huai nodded, and suddenly his heart moved, and he said in surprise, "Huh? In this way, the second lady not only guessed that the rebel king Li Yan would transfer troops out of the city, but also guessed that the heavenly Ji Liu Qing would do the same? ”

"How so?" Liang Cheng asked suspiciously.

"General, you think, when the second lady sent our army to attack Jiangling, she said, for the sake of your life and death under the command of the concubine husband, you will give you a great merit this time...

"Isn't that just a casual remark?" Liang Cheng glanced at Wang Huai suspiciously, after all, in the army, it was said that giving someone a great credit meant that a very dangerous but crucial task was given to him.

"What if it wasn't just a casual statement?" Wang Huai reminded.

Liang Cheng was stunned, looked around in surprise, and muttered, "I see...... What a great credit to our army for nothing! ”

"It's just breaking Old Feng's ・・・・・・," Wang Huai sighed, and then, he looked at the corpse on the ground and sighed, muttering, "Old Feng, why are you so impulsive? The thief army originally planned to withdraw when the battle situation was unfavorable, why did you ...... Alas, it's really not worth it! ”

"Nonsense!" Liang Cheng glared at Wang Huai, and after taking a deep look at Feng He's corpse, he said in a deep voice, "If Feng He hadn't killed Feng Xi, the general of the thief army, how could our army have captured the city so smoothly?" And the losses of our army are more than 3,000 men? ―Even if there are only 5,000 thieves on the city wall here, if there is no Feng He, the number of soldiers killed in our army will definitely be more than 3,000! - How can it be said that his death was worthless? ”

As if noticing the angry look on Liang Cheng's face, Wang Huai didn't dare to say more, and sighed regretfully.

"That's fine・・・・・・" Perhaps sensing that his tone was too heavy, Liang Cheng calmed down and muttered, "Feng He, this guy will no longer regard himself as a living person since that day, but a powerful ghost who has returned to the world from the underworld to take revenge on the thief army...... Finally, he got what he wanted! ”

Wang Huai subconsciously looked at Feng He's head, looking at his relieved smile that had fulfilled his wish, and barely showed a smile on his face.

"Yes......"

With a solemn mood, the soldiers of the Great Liang Army collected the corpses of Tongze who died in this battle, and after erecting the banner of the Great Liang Army on the highest point of the city, on the eaves of the top floor of the Chu Palace, the Great Liang Army began to search the whole city.

Although the people in the city said that Liu Qing had led the army to withdraw from Jiangling, Liang Cheng, who was a steady person, still checked the whole city, after all, he had nothing to do when he was idle.

At present, there is still an ocean outside Jiangling City, and there are still floods rushing down the upper reaches, and with the shoddy warships, the Great Liang Army has no way to withdraw its troops back to the upper valleys.

Originally, Liang Cheng also planned to send an army to support the Fei State in Sichuan after the flood receded, but later he learned that before the flood came, Liu Qing had mobilized the people of the whole city and blocked the city gates with mud and stones.

What's worse is that by the flood, the mud and stones that blocked the city gate were all formed into a piece, hard as a rock, and by the time Liang Cheng cleared a road out of the city, the war between Chuan Gu Fei ** and Li Yan, the king of Chu, had already ended, and even, the Great Liang army couldn't even catch up with the next few battles.

And this is exactly one part of Heavenly Ji Liu Qing's plan.

"The Great Liang Army・・・・・・ no longer has a chance to play in this battle!"

In the northwest, about fifteen miles away from Jiangling City, on the peak of Nanling, Heavenly Ji Liu Qing looked in the direction of Jiangling City and sighed as if he had declared victory.

From the side, Yuheng Divine General Qi Zhi showed a little admiration on his face when he heard this, and said with a smile, "It is worthy of Her Royal Highness the Princess!" -- Most of the Zhou army thought that they had taken advantage of it and conquered the fortified city of Jiangling, but in fact, the Zhou army only got an empty city, and there was no grain of rice in the city, on the contrary, the 60,000 Liang army, an important combat force in the Zhou army, was trapped in Jiangling and could not move in a short time! ”

Liu Qing smiled faintly when she heard this, sighed lightly and said, "In fact, if I can, I don't want to give up Jiangling easily・・・・・・ Changsun Xiang's plan to flood Jiangling with rain is too ruthless, even if I rack my brains, I can only come up with this way out...... But it's okay, in this way, the 60,000 Liang army can have no scruples in a short period of time, and the only ones standing in front of our army are the 60,000 Zhou soldiers on the battlefield of Li Xian's northern front and the 20,000 Zhou soldiers on the southern front of Changsun Xiangyu...... The 60,000 Zhou soldiers on the battlefield of Li Xian's northern front cannot be mobilized at will, hehehe, in other words, the opponent of our army is only the 20,000 Zhou soldiers of Changsun Xiangyu! ”

"And our army still has 45,000 troops!" Qi Zhi picked up Liu Qing's words smoothly, his eyes full of awe for the latter.

No...!

What a great woman・・・・・・ yes, a chief!

In that desperate situation, he could still think of such an anti-guest-oriented killing move.

Qi Zhi couldn't help but think of what happened that day when he learned that the Zhou army planned to flood Jiangling, including him, Qi Zhi, the first thing that all the Taiping generals in the house thought of was to stick to the city.

It is true that the 50,000 Taiping army, plus Li Yan's 40,000 Jiangling soldiers, even if the Zhou army floods Jiangling, it cannot be said that there is no possibility of holding the city at all, but it is certain that whether it is Li Yan's Jiangling soldiers or their Taiping army, the losses will be extremely heavy.

The most satisfactory result is probably to pay 70,000 or 80,000 troop losses to replace the 60,000-strong Liang army of the Zhou army. What does this mean? This means that the Zhou army will still have 80,000 troops left, on the other hand, Li Yan, the king of Chu, and the Taiping army, but they are like burned candles, and they can no longer withstand even the slightest light wind.

But now Liu Qing used his wisdom to preserve the combat power of Li Yan, the king of Chu, and her Taiping army, and in turn trapped the 60,000 Liang troops of the Zhou army in Jiangling City.

It is undeniable that the 60,000 Great Liang Army still retains a strong combat power, but you must know that what is the difference between the combat power that does not play any role and the annihilation of the entire army?

Therefore, from a certain point of view, Liu Qing replaced the 60,000 Liang army with 5,000 troops, completely reversing the previous unfavorable situation.

Such far-sighted wisdom, this accurate grasp of the battle situation・・・・・・

Marvellous!

It's a stroke of genius!

Qi Zhi looked at Liu Qing with admiration, a little girl who was only about fifteen years old.

More importantly, Liu Qing also left a way out for the 5,000 Taiping soldiers, and in Qi Zhi's opinion, if the war went well, the general Feng Xi might be able to retreat to the hill here with two or three thousand troops who were actually not defeated, if that was the case・・・・・・

Qi Zhi didn't dare to think about it anymore, he couldn't imagine how Liu Qing could have this wisdom far beyond the world.

However, Feng Xi did not return......

"What? General Feng Xi died in battle? - Killed by a Zhou general who had his head cut off? ”

When the news of Feng Xi's death reached Qi Zhi's ears, Qi Zhi was stunned, not only him, but also Liu Qing, Yang Yu, Xu Le, Yan Shao, Jiang Pei, Chu Qi and others.

"How is that possible?" The most frightening thing is probably Yang Yu, the commander of the Tianfu Army.

Tianfu Army, an elite army of only 300 people in the Taiping Army, all of them were taught martial arts by Chen Bei, the third-generation commander of the Taiping Army, even if they were the lowest-ranking soldiers in the army, they all had the strength of a thousand generals, and the commanders and chiefs in the army were not even inferior to some deputy generals in the Taiping Army, not to mention Feng Xi, who was the former uncle.

Tianfu Army, a team of sergeants and soldiers with the strength of thousands of elites, but only three uncles, it is conceivable what kind of strength Feng Xi has.

In fact, Feng Xi did show his strength, in the face of the last swing of the knife of the Zhou general Feng He, who blessed all the strength of the whole body, Feng Xi still took it easily, and then saw the gap, and killed Feng He with a sword, this force is definitely not inferior to Ma Dan, Tang Hao and other fierce generals of the Zhou army, even against Fei Guo, the first fierce general of the Zhou army, there will be a steady defeat.

However, Feng Xi still died, died under the light enemy, or rather, died under the powerful resentment of the Zhou general Feng He, and died under the resentment of the ten thousand cavalry Feng He's soldiers asking for their lives.

"Unbelievable・・・・・・" Yang Yu let out a long sigh, he knew very well that Feng Xi was not only a fierce general, but also a general who was good at commanding the army, and this was what the Taiping Army lacked the most at the moment.

There is no shortage of fierce generals in the Taiping Army, counting from the commander Chen Bei down, Yang Yu, Feng Xi, Yan Shao, Jiang Pei, Chu Qi, Xu Le, Wei Hu, withered sheep, these Taiping soldiers who have been taught martial arts by Chen Bei, their personal strength is even more than that of the generals of the Zhou army, but among them, there are only a few commanding generals who know how to form soldiers, Yang Yu, Feng Xi, Chu Qi, withered sheep, and the rest of the generals like Xu Le and Wei Hu are at best just reckless men who advocate brute force and can only charge into battle.

It is precisely because of this clear understanding that Liu Qing's expression is not very good-looking.

She originally thought that Feng Xi would be able to come back, and it should be said that she hoped that the latter would come back alive, after all, this general with both personal martial arts and command skills would be indispensable in future wars, but unfortunately, Feng Xi died in battle and died in a completely unnecessary place.

This is the change that occurs from time to time on the battlefield, and it is also the most disgusting unstable factor of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and right now, Liu Qing has also tasted this suffering.

"General Feng Xi's remains...... Did you bring it back? ”

"Returning to the princess, bringing back ......"

Sighing slightly, Liu Qing said in a low voice, "Although I can't stand General Feng Xi・・・・・・ I will bury it on this mountain, from tomorrow and tomorrow, our army will have to go through many battles, and there is really no way to take him ......"

"Yes......"

The generals of the Taiping Army on the side bowed their heads one after another.

A general like Feng Xi died on the battlefield, this is the first time since the start of the army, and more importantly, Feng Xi's death proves that no matter how strong his personal martial arts are, once he is caught in the mouth of this devouring beast on the battlefield, he may not be able to survive.

“… Seeing Feng Xi for the last time, Yang Yu sighed and waved his hand to signal the sergeant to bury himself on the hill where they were, because the scenery here is the best, and in Liu Qing's words, a series of battles that will be fought in the next few days can be seen here, although it is quite far away.

Skimming his head and glancing at Liu Qing, Yang Yu noticed that Liu Qing was standing alone on the edge of the cliff of the mountain peak and looking at the southwest at some point.

After thinking about it, Yang Yu stepped forward and said softly, "When the flood waters recede, there will be a war on the Sichuan Gu side, right?" ――Is Li Yan, the king of Chu, worried about Chen Shuai ・・・・・・ about the Fei ** of Sichuan Gu? ”

"Hmm!" Liu Qing nodded and muttered, "That woman・・・・・・ I can't see through her..."

"The woman named Changsun Xiangyu?"

"Hmm......"

Touching his chin, Yang Yu chuckled and said, "I don't think there's anything terrible about that woman... At most, I was ruthless and came up with such a poisonous plan as flooding Gangneung! ”

Shaking his head, Liu Qing said with a straight face, "Yang Yu, maybe you didn't feel it, but I felt it, and this feeling was very strong...... I felt as if I was playing against the woman, playing a very big game, and on the chessboard, she could clearly see the pieces in my hand, and in turn, I could clearly see the pieces in her hand・・・・・・"

"Huh? What do you mean? Yang Yu asked in wonder.

"In other words, she knew that Li Yan and I would withdraw from Jiangling City・・・・・・ "A glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, Liu Qingshen said.!

"Know?" Yang Yu glanced at Liu Qing suspiciously, and suddenly his face changed slightly, and he said in surprise, "Won't it?" If that woman really counted, why did she send 60,000 Liang troops to Jiangling? According to Her Royal Highness the Princess, in this way, the Great Liang Army will seem to disappear in this war, and it will no longer play the slightest role......"

"She has to be sent!" As if noticing Yang Yu's expression, Liu Qing glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "My intention in leaving Feng Xi is to prevent the Zhou soldiers from only sending a small number of troops to attack Jiangling...... Therefore, if the Zhou army wants to capture Jiangling, it can only send a large number of troops! ”

"・・・・・・I see," Yang Yu nodded in realization, and suddenly wondered, "But what's wrong with this?" ”

Liu Qing frowned when she heard this, and said in a low voice, "It's not so much that our army generals are calculating, but that the eldest grandson Xiangyu forced me to give up Jiangling, because she knows that I can't fight to the death with the Zhou army for a city・・・・・・ and I can't figure it out, is it what she wants, or ...... It's just my plan......"

“… Yang Yu opened his mouth, but he felt that he couldn't interject.

"It feels like we're mixed up with our strategies...... It's as if we're working together to make this war happen......"

Looking at Liu Qing for a while, Yang Yu said as if he had woken up, "This is the reason why Her Royal Highness the Princess abandoned Li Yan, the king of Chu?" ”

"Hmm・・・・・・" Liu Qing nodded, then frowned, and said with a strange expression, "Or rather, it was the two of us who worked together to push this war to the most unfavorable situation for Li Yan, the king of Chu... I want to use Li Yan to seek a way out for my Taiping Army, and the woman of the eldest grandson, Xiangyu, wants to take this opportunity to eradicate Li Yan, one of the three kings......"

Yang Yu glanced at Liu Qing inexplicably, although he didn't understand, but he vaguely felt an inexplicable chill.

He never thought that he could fight like this.

"Well・・・・・・ you and that woman actually have a tacit understanding, right? -- Neither side can hide the thoughts of the other ......"

"I hate that woman!" Biting her mouth, Liu Qing said like a child.

"Hate? Why is that? ――You haven't met at all, have you? ”

"This kind of thing, even if you haven't met, you can feel it・・・・・・" Looking up at the slightly cloudy sky, Liu Qing muttered, "She is rain, I am sunny, it's strange to get along well!" ”

"What's the explanation?" Yang Yu listened to this seemingly childish reason with a smile, and he couldn't imagine that the same words had also come from the mouth of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, which was exactly the same as Liu Qing.

"In short・・・・・・ as soon as the flood recedes, Li Yan, the king of Chu, will start to march against the Fei ** of the Sichuan Valley, right?"

"Well・・・・・・ then Li Yan will be sandwiched by the Zhou army, if nothing else, aside from the 60,000 soldiers on the northern front under Li Xian's command who can't be moved lightly, the 20,000 soldiers and horses on the southern front that Changsun Xiangyu still has in his hands, will cooperate with Fei ** to trap Li Yan and annihilate him in one fell swoop! In other words, Nanying, that woman has no troops at hand! ”

Yang Yu's heart moved when he heard this, and he said in surprise, "I see・・・・・・ no wonder Her Royal Highness the Princess asked Li Yan to attack the Sichuan Valley, it turned out that she wanted to take the opportunity to attack Nanying?" ”

"If you really think so, then the purpose of Changsun Xiangyu not hesitating to let the 60,000 Great Liang troops off the battlefield has been achieved......"

"This ...... What do you mean? ”

"Don't be happy too soon... If I'm not bad, that woman can conjure up 20,000 soldiers! - That's her last card! As she spoke, Liu Qing raised her head and looked at the already cloudy sky.

"Conjure 20,000 soldiers out of thin air? How can it be? Yang Yu looked incredulous when he heard this.

Looking at the direction of the gourd valley from afar, Liu Qing Zhengse said, "The river valley in the west of the gourd valley and the valley in the east have mountain streams and rivers passing on both sides, and the terrain is relatively open, the only difference is that the river valley is easier to march than the valley, and there are not so many rugged mountain paths・・・・・・ but the gourd valley is different, this is a pure valley artery, which is also the reason why Li Shen, the king of Qin, focused his battle on the river valley, not the gourd valley."

―After all, once the battle situation was unfavorable, Li Xian ordered to block the Hulu Valley, Li Shen's previous efforts were in vain, but he was able to save 20,000 troops and transfer them to the Sichuan Valley, so Li Shen did not storm the Hulu Valley! ”

"What Her Royal Highness the princess just said, that woman can conjure 20,000 people out of thin air..."

"It's about Li Xian's team of 20,000 people!" Picking up Yang Yu's words, Liu Qing said in a deep voice, "Remember, the Great Liang Army is only temporarily out of the battlefield, at most three or five days, but it has not completely lost its combat power, if our army thinks that the strength of the South Battalion is empty at this moment, send troops to attack, the Zhou army can block the Hulu Valley at any time, with 20,000 people to block the offensive of our army, once the battle is stalemate, the days will drag on, and when the Great Liang Army attacks our army from the rear, at that time, our army will die without a place to be buried, and there is no possibility of retreat・・・・・・ this is the plan of Changsun Xiangyu!" ”

"Unbelievable・・・・・・" Yang Yu's face was shocked, shocked by the wisdom of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and also shocked by the wisdom of Liu Qing, who was not inferior to the former.

After all, after Liu Qing's careful analysis, Yang Yu realized more and more that the eldest grandson Xiangyu was a terrible woman who was scheming, and on the other hand, Liu Qing's wisdom was as high as being able to see through all the schemes of this woman.

A mortal like himself really can't get involved in it, and get involved in the schemes of these two women・・・・・・

Yang Yu secretly sighed in his heart.

"I'm not going to be fooled! Besides, you don't think I'm going to be fooled, do you? Looking up at the sky, a trace of inexplicable brilliance flashed in Liu Qing's eyes.

"Since it is no longer clear who is in the leading position between the two of us who are working together to promote the evolution of this war, then ・・・・・・ so far, I really want to see which of us can see further...... The chess pieces that are exposed to the chessboard before your eyes, and the chess pieces that are not exposed to the chessboard before your eyes......"

At the same time, in the tent of the commander of the southern camp of the Zhou army, the eldest grandson Xiangyu was lying on the soft couch with his eyes closed, playing with the jade folding fan in his hand.

Suddenly, she played with the folding fan, and the corners of her mouth raised a few smiles.

"What's wrong with my sister?" As if noticing the strangeness of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Qin Ke'er pretended to ask obediently, and said in a somewhat joking tone, "Sister Fei thought of that Liu Qing again?" ”

"Huh!" The eldest grandson Xiangyu smiled faintly and said indifferently, "Yes, the concubine was thinking about the upcoming battle in the Sichuan Valley, and that little girl somehow ran into the concubine's body......"

"You haven't seen ...... again," Qin Ke'er muttered in a low voice, and then said with a look of surprise, "Huh? My sister would care about the war in the Kawa Valley? ”

"Do you think the concubine body refers to Li Yan?" As if seeing through Qin Ke'er's thoughts, the eldest grandson Xiangyu smiled contemptuously, then slowly sat up, licked his lips and muttered, "Although it is a joint effort to promote the evolution of the war, the concubine body is still used to taking advantage of it・・・・・・ Chen Bei, or rather, Liang Qiuhao, so far the only opponent whose concubine body can't eradicate it with stratagem... Through the Battle of the River Valley, try again and get rid of this tiger in the Taiping Army! ”

"Huh? That's not the master's..." Qin Ke'er's face changed slightly.

"Since when did you care so much about our husband-kun?"

"I didn't ・・・・・・ ・・・・・・," Qin Ke'er retorted with a red face.

"It doesn't matter, the key is..............." Will you go to the snitch? ・・・・・・ to my husband."

"No・・・・・・" Qin Ke'er knew very well that the eldest grandson Xiangyu hated someone saying bad things about her in front of Xie An, and hurriedly shook his head when he heard this.

"Well・・・・・・ remember, don't do anything superfluous! ―At this moment, the concubine is the chief of the army, and Daifu-kun commands the army. When you return to Jijing, the concubine is still the sister you need to serve and hold the courtesy...... Got it? ”

The little slave understood, and the little slave just felt ...... That's not an opponent that can be defeated by stratagem, is it? ”

"Yes・・・・・・ eldest grandson Xiangyu let out a long breath, frowned, swayed the folding fan in his hand, and muttered to himself, "It's strange, count the days, it should be almost here・・・・・・ most of them won't be able to catch up with the battle of the river valley, it's a pity!" ”

"What do you mean, sister?"

"The chessboard of the concubine and Liu Qing's game, this is the chessboard of the Jiangling War, the chess pieces outside this chessboard!" Speaking of this, the eldest grandson Xiangyu glanced at Qin Ke'er with a smile, and said inexplicably, "As long as you are obedient, the concubine will keep you safe!" ”

"......" Qin Ke'er looked inexplicable and nodded obediently.

-- At the same time--

On a hill in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, a gorgeous woman holding a baby frowns at the rushing floodwaters.

"Although September and October are autumn floods, the water potential will definitely not reach this point・・・・・・

"Eldest sister, it is said that the upstream Great Zhou army dug the Yangtze River embankment and released water to flood Jiangling......"

"Digging the water of the Yangtze River to flood Jiangling? The Great Zhou army used such a vicious strategy? A little unhappiness flashed in the woman's eyes, and the two scars on her cheeks became more and more obvious, giving people a sense of distress and depression when they found that there were tiny flaws on the perfect white bi.

"It won't be a thief, a thief is soft-hearted, and he will never use such a cruel strategy! ――Is it Lee Hyun? Still is...... Is the eldest grandchild's sister? It should be ......" The woman sighed slightly, with a somewhat complicated look in her eyes, turned to several strong men behind her and said, "Have you found the boat?" ”

One of the men clenched his fists and said, "Sister, don't worry, the brothers have tried their best to negotiate with the nearby fishing village, and I think we will soon be able to buy a fishing boat and take us to the Zhou military camp upstream・・・・・・

"Hmm...... As soon as possible! ”

"Yes, big sister!"

-- At the same time--

In the waters of the Xiangjiang River in the Gangneung area, a small boat staggered to the south bank.

The young boatman, who was rocking his oars, then jumped out of the boat onto the shore and tied a tree with a rope.

"Dad, tie it up, please let that guest go ashore!"

"Hmm!" The old boatman who was ferrying at the stern of the boat entered the cabin, and not long after, a guest with a gray cloak came out of the boat, took out a few taels of silver from his bosom and handed them to the old boatman.

"Guest, you ・・・・・・ horse" The old boatman looked at the strong fiery red war horse in iron armor at the bow of the ship with palpitations, in fact, he was very worried about whether this horse would fall into the water during the ferry, after all, this horse knew at a glance that it was not an ordinary war horse, even if he ferried and picked up passengers by the river for a lifetime, he might not be able to afford to lose.

"Don't worry, old man!" The guest opened his mouth and said, it was a woman's voice, the voice was very good, but there was an inexplicable strong momentum.

"Shhh

The head and hat of the guest's cloak slipped off, revealing an extremely beautiful face.

"What a beautiful ......" the young boatman looked at the female guest dumbfounded.

As if noticing the young boatman's muttering, the female guest smiled slightly, politely but also a little distant, and said flatly, "I'm married・・・・・・

"Boom!" Afraid that the female guest would be angry, the old boatman angrily slapped his son's head, how could he, who was old and sophisticated, not understand the true meaning of the female guest's words.

"This guest, the old man dares to ask, are you going to Gangneung, right? But the old man heard that there was a war going on in Gangneung, and the guests would go here... ・・・”

"Don't get in the way, old man, it's because of this that I came all the way from Jijing to Jiangling!" Stroking the horse's mane, the female guest put an eight-foot-long war knife on her waist, looked into the distance and said in a deep voice, "...... for two family matters"

"Family matters?"

"Ah, my cousin who has committed a heinous crime, and it is up to me, as the head of the house, to clear the door! By the way・・・・・・" I saw a little annoyance in the eyes of the female guest, gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "By the way, I will persuade my husband who is messing with flowers and grass outside・・・・・・"

As if feeling the monstrous resentment of the female guest, the boatman and his son subconsciously shrank their heads, only to feel a chill on their backs.

"Anyway, thank you both!" The female passenger hugged her fists at the boatman's father and son, acting like a soldier, then turned on her horse and disappeared into the distance.

Looking at the female guest in the distance, the old boatman asked thoughtfully, "Son, I am Da Zhou...... Are there any female generals? Under the cloak of that guest, he was wearing armor... ・・・”

"Female general? I've only heard of one person, boy・・・・・・"

"Who?"

"One of the four towns of Jijing, the general of the Shenwu Battalion of the Eastern Army, the Marquis of Dongzhen, the Yanhu Ji Liangqiu Dance!"

"That's right・・・・・・" the old boatman nodded, and suddenly his heart was stunned.

His son seemed to realize something, and looked at his father in shock.

The female guest also said that she was from Jijing...... Do you say ・・・・・・"

"Shh・・・・・・ won't you? Dongzhen Hou ......"
