Chapter Seventy-One: New Possibilities
When Yun Shi was about to arrive at the Qingning military camp, he saw Shuyun greeting him from afar, Shuyun stayed in the military camp every day, in fact, he was also very depressed, and now with Yunshi's company, his heart was also much warmer!
Shuyun had already prepared wine and food in the camp tent, and waited for Yunshi to come, and he would get drunk and rest, originally it was forbidden to drink alcohol in the barracks, but because of Yunshi's visit today, Shuyun was really happy, so he made an exception to drink in the army.
However, Yun Shi politely refused, after all, he knew the importance of strict military discipline, if the soldiers were all loose in military discipline, it would definitely be a plate of loose sand in the end, and they would not be able to go into battle to kill the enemy.
If you want the soldiers to strictly abide by military discipline, first of all, he and Shuyun must lead by example, so no matter at any time, they must not break military discipline.
In the end, under the persuasion of Yunshi, Shuyun finally withdrew the wine and food, and the food eaten by the two of them was the same as all the soldiers in the barracks, and there was nothing special about it.
Yun Shi didn't see Shuyun for a few days, and found that he had really lost a lot of weight, "Shuyun, it must be very hard every day in the barracks, I haven't seen you in just a few days, and you have lost so much weight!" ”
"What's so hard, I've long been used to such days, but I can't sleep well every night these days, and I always dream of asking Jin, maybe I'm a little overwhelmed, so I look a lot thinner!" , Shuyun said with some lamentation.
Yun Shi understands Shuyun's feelings, because he is the same, he often dreams of asking Jin, and then insomnia all night, that kind of inner torment and pain, which only he can experience.
"If you know something, I don't want to see you like this, so you don't need to worry too much, after all, there are still many things waiting for us to do in the future!" , Yun Shi comforted Shuyun on the side.
"Well, I naturally understand this truth, but there are some things that are difficult for me to control, and it may be much better after a while. By the way, you asked Your Majesty for your life this time and came to the Qingning Military Camp, you already have a plan in mind! Shuyun said slowly.
In fact, Yun Shi didn't have a plan in his heart, although he was bent on revenge for Wen Jin, but he didn't have an absolute chance of winning in his heart when it came to leading troops against Northern Qi.
However, he also knew in his heart that in the past three years, although the Northern Qi and the Southern Tang Dynasty had repeatedly defeated the Later Han, they were all remnant victories, and while annihilating the Zhenxiao army, the Northern Qi army had actually suffered heavy losses, so it also needed to recuperate in a short time.
Therefore, Yun Shi concluded that within three years, there would definitely be no more wars, and this period was also the best opportunity for the Qingning army to become stronger.
Yun Shi then said: "Actually, I don't have any special plan in my heart, and the current plan is to expand the armament, so that the original Qingning Army soldiers are stronger, and at the same time, collect new troops from the people, especially to train powerful cavalry, so as to confront the Northern Qi Iron Cavalry!" ”
"Well, I understand, it's just that we still need to destroy the alliance between Northern Qi and Southern Tang, if Northern Qi doesn't have the supply of grain and grass from Southern Tang, its strength will be greatly reduced!" , Shuyun said next.
The two reached a consensus in this regard, and now the only way to defeat the enemy is to build a strong and invincible army.
In Yecheng, Gao Yan followed the idea provided to him by Wen Jin, and asked the forbidden army to search for suspicious people in the city in Yecheng, and then brought them back for interrogation, and finally gained something.
Among the nine people arrested, all of them were people of unknown origin, and after Gao Yan personally interrogated, it was learned that the purpose of three of them coming to Yecheng was to assassinate Princess Yunxi, so as to destroy the marriage between Northern Qi and Southern Tang.
There are four of them in a group, and the other one is the person who assassinated Wen Jin that night, and now he has escaped from Yecheng, the four of them do not know each other, but someone hired the four of them separately for the purpose of assassinating Princess Yunxi.
It's just that the person who hired them has been masked, and they don't know what the identity of the other party is, Gao Yan was indeed a little surprised, but he didn't expect that as Wen Jin guessed, the assassin wanted to assassinate Yun Xi, not Wen Jin.
But Gao Yan still felt unbelievable, because there were really too many doubts in it, the other party wanted to assassinate Princess Yunxi, but he found these four assassins who were not very good.
And the most bizarre thing is that if the purpose is to assassinate Yunxi, there is not even a portrait of Yunxi, is such an assassination a bit too child's play.
However, it turned out that Wen Jin's guess was indeed correct, so he went to the Floating Cloud Palace as soon as possible, and then told Wen Jin the results of his investigation.
Wen Jin was not shocked when she found out, because she felt that there was only one possibility from the beginning, so she always believed that her guess was right.
It's just that Gao Yan still has some doubts in his heart, so he hopes that Wen Jin can give him a reasonable answer, "Wen Jin, when I personally interrogated these three assassins, I found that their martial arts or skills are actually quite ordinary, if the other party really wants to assassinate Yunxi and destroy the alliance between Southern Tang and Northern Qi, why would you look for such a killer?" ”
"The other party's intention may not be to kill Yunxi, but just to create some chaos, imagine if the assassin's first target at that time was Yunxi, and Yunxi didn't know martial arts, in fact, it was easy to stab Yunxi. However, the Assassin's chosen target was me, and I managed to dodge his sword moves, and then with your help, I survived. ", Wen Jin replied.
"Well, I understand what you mean, if the other party just wants to stab Yunxi, there is really no need for a killer who is too good, it's just that what is the purpose of his stabbing Yunxi, but I still don't understand, why does he just want to stab Yunxi, instead of directly assassinating Yunxi, isn't it easier to create a contradiction between Northern Qi and Southern Tang?" , Gao Yan asked suspiciously,
"No, no, no, if Yunxi is really assassinated, then Li Houzhao is very likely to be angry and angry, no matter what the truth of the matter is, he will directly turn against Northern Qi. But if Yunxi was only injured, Li Houzhao might not be so nervous, and he might personally send someone to Northern Qi to find out why Yunxi was assassinated. Wen Jin continued to analyze.
"But in this way, at most, it will make Li Houzhao think that the Northern Qi does not protect Yunxi enough, and after the truth is finally investigated, it will be impossible to create a contradiction between the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Qi, didn't you say before that the other party's purpose was to break up the alliance between the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Qi?" , Gao Yan continued to ask.
"I did guess this before, but now I have a new possibility!" , asked Jin frowned and said deeply.
