"I know you're both having a hard time during this time." Qin Shuyao folded his hands and said, "But Lord Wang, he trusts you, and he is doing everything he can to hope that he can find a way that can allow the two of you to live well." ”

"Please also ask Miss Lin to believe in the prince, is it okay?"

Lin Jinxiu listened to Qin Shuyao's request and sighed: "Brother Yao, actually...... I believe in him. ”

"But because I believe in him, I know that I can't let him suffer between my country and me, and I can't choose."

She didn't want to be a disaster on Huai Yanqing's struggle, but wanted to be his stepping stone, and wanted to help him in her own way, instead of pulling him down.

"I naturally know that the girl has such a heart, and I also know that the prince doesn't want to embarrass the girl now." Qin Shuyao sorted out all the military books on the table and put them aside, so that they would not affect the conversation between them.

"But the girl should think about what it means to be miserable."

Lin Jinxiu didn't understand this sentence.

What does it mean to be miserable? Pain is pain, what else could it mean?

Qin Shuyao's finger pointed at the case: "Miss Lin, with my understanding of the prince, he has never taken such a fancy to a girl, including General Zhu, no one can influence his mood and practices like a girl." ”

This Lin Jinxiu knows.

She likes Huai Yanqing, this is a fact, and how much Huai Yanqing likes her, she can also see it, because this kind of feeling can't be hidden in a person's eyes.

"If the prince wants to take on this responsibility, then for him, this pain is not called pain, but can be called happiness."

Qin Shuyao's mouth is always a set of big truths, although he himself has never been in contact with love, but these words are from the perspective of a bystander, they may not sound so good, but they are definitely useful.

"In my opinion, the two of you don't have to worry about some things in yourself that you think are estrangement, there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain, and there will always be a solution."

Lin Jinxiu let out a long sigh: "Maybe...... It's one thing to say, but it's another to do. ”

"Just like now, when I face Brother Yao, I can say anything, but in the face of the prince, I really can't say it."

"I understand. So I'm just giving Miss Lin a little advice. Qin Shuyao looked at her happily, "A girl doesn't have to think about so many things, sometimes, it's okay to talk about it in her heart, a girl, a little willful, sometimes it's a good thing." ”

Do you speak from the heart...... Lin Jinxiu couldn't help but ask herself, what exactly is what she wants?

Is it a good life, a position to be able to stand on its own, or a happy family? Neither, it seems.

But......

She couldn't tell.

"Please rest assured, Miss Lin." There was a sentence that Qin Shuyao didn't intend to say, but after thinking about it, he decided to tell Lin Jinxiu as well.

"The prince has told me several times that he wants to disarm and return to the field after helping the emperor stabilize the regime, but he was very hesitant in the past, but the last time the prince mentioned it, his attitude was very resolute."

"The prince has already decided, so what about you, Miss Lin?"

Lin Jinxiu knew that Huai Yanqing once said that he would rather be a prodigal son in the rivers and lakes than be above the court, is it for her?

If it really is, it must be false to say that it is not moved.

"Thank you, Brother Yao, I'll think about it." Lin Jinxiu suddenly felt that something seemed to be untied in her heart, and even her breathing was much more relaxed.

Qin Shuyao's words were mainly to tell Lin Jinxiu that since he believed that he was happy with each other, he should not be afraid of trouble, let alone be afraid of causing a drag on the other party, because compared to the matter of "companionship", "trouble" is just a concoction.

"I'm sure you'll think about it." Qin Shuyao knew that Lin Jinxiu was a smart and transparent woman, and since he had said so, he would naturally really think about it.

"So we can continue?" Qin Shuyao nodded at the sand table on the table, "I will explain the plan and situation to you this time, and Miss Lin will see if there is anything that needs to be changed." ”

The depression in Lin Jinxiu's heart has dissipated a lot, and her attitude towards learning has become more serious: "Yes, sir!" ”

Under Qin Shuyao's narration, Lin Jinxiu also had a general understanding of the situation nearby.

At the junction of Yan and Zhou, there is a huge plain, the terrain on the plain is low, only a few woods are close to the foot of the mountain, if the person with good eyesight stands on a high place and looks down, maybe you can also see the city of Zhou, which is very unfavorable for hiding, so you can only use a clear plan.

"And what about here?" Lin Jinxiu pointed to an area on the sand table that didn't mark anything at all, "What's going on here?" ”

"It's a wasteland, and although the rivers are crisscrossed, there is no grass, and the banks are not solid mud, but yellow soft sand, which will sink if you are not careful." Qin Shuyao knew everything,

"No one knows why it is like this, I had the privilege of going there once, and the wasteland may be like a steamer because there is no tree to cover it, and even the water is warm, and I am only wearing a long robe, and I am sweating so hot, not to mention the soldiers in armor."

Lin Jinxiu said that he understood: "Land desertification ...... So here is completely unconsiderable, is it? ”

Qin Shuyao responded: "That's right, if you want to fight in this wasteland, you must first solve the scorching heat, and being in the water is a good way, but my Yan soldiers are not good at water warfare, so they can't come here anyway." ”

"I see." What appeared in Lin Jinxiu's mind was the sugarcane and mint that he had planted in the space and had not yet matured.

It seems that I have to find a time to test it, and if it really works, then wouldn't the entire army have more places to set up the battlefield?

Lin Jinxiu didn't tell Qin Shuyao that he had these two things for the time being, but looked at the battlefield that Qin Shuyao was preparing.

"The Zhou State has a very elite army, comparable to the Tiger Army, but our Tiger Army is at a disadvantage, because we have never been in contact with them, and they have never brought this army to the battlefield."

"We don't know if they are cavalry, spearmen, or heavy armor, if we know the type of troops, we can avoid danger and prescribe the right medicine."

Qin Shuyao put the complete set of war chess on the sand table: "Miss Lin, do you remember the configuration of our army that you told you the day before yesterday?" ”

"Naturally, I remember." Lin Jinxiu took the war chess, "The Tiger Xiao army has a total of 50,000 people, including 30,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry, each with its own strengths; And the Zhu family army is mainly cavalry, more good at guerrilla warfare, it is said that the old general Zhu came back from the north to learn the Hu people cavalry shooting? ”

Lin Jinxiu's memory is indeed no problem, and what she said is correct, but it is a bit of a waste of time to let her explain each of the troops in detail: "That's right, it's basically like this, now as far as we know, Zhou Guo brought an army of 70,000 people because of the presence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, that is to say, no matter how we fight them, their numerical advantage is always higher than ours." ”

Yan because of the yearning for peace, the army is more important for self-preservation, so when the emperor was alive, although the Yan country was very rich, but the strength was weak, often bullied, and later the emperor's two sons grew up, and the national strength of the Yan country gradually grew.

In this way, the surrounding small countries have no targets for plundering, but they have been annexed by the Yan State a lot.

Later, when Huai Yanqing's eldest brother succeeded to the throne, Yan Guo has completely become a representative of the country's wealth and people's strength, naturally he is hated, Zhou Guo is the first to bear the brunt, I don't know how many times he has been harassed, and he has been beaten back by Huai Yanqing.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhou Guo will point all the fingers at Yan State, and Yan State has no time to train his army, so he can only seek refinement and not more.

"That's why the Strategists exist." Lin Jinxiu is not afraid of fighting more with less, Yan Guo has been fighting such wars for several years, so naturally he will not be crushed casually.

The war chess pieces were already placed on the sand table, and the wooden villains were holding bows and arrows, riding horses, and some were on chariots, ready to be deployed at any time.

"I don't know how many people will be dispatched by the Zhou Congress this time." Qin Shuyao estimated and put some configurations at random, "But every situation has to be taken into account." ”

Lin Jinxiu also had an idea at this time: "I still don't know the strength of the Zhou army at all, right...... Is there a way to pull the line apart and break through one by one? ”

Break them one by one, if you can do it, it will naturally be the most cost-effective, but the person who commands the battle on the enemy side is Ning Ye, if it is a simple lure of the enemy to go deeper, they will naturally be aware of it, and then it will be worth the loss if they are counter-packed.

"My current plan with the prince is to use heavy armor and shield soldiers to attract their attention and form a turtle formation." Qin Shuyao began to arrange the positions of the troops on the sand table, "First test the intentions of his Zhou State, and then General Zhu will lead the Zhu family army to surround the rear." ”

"In other words, put most of the pressure on the side of the Tiger Xiao Army, as long as this side can be prevented, that side will definitely find a way to break through." Lin Jinxiu said.

"That's right." Qin Shuyao responded.

Lin Jinxiu looked at the war chess on the sand table: "I don't think Ning Ye should believe that we can only defend, and we must let people find General Zhu's team." ”

"Then it depends on how capable General Zhu is." Before Lin Jinxiu's words fell, a voice sounded behind him.

"Little ......"

"I'll go!" Lin Jinxiu was so frightened that she jumped three feet high, but because she suddenly jumped, her head hit something and bounced back, and she snorted at the same time as the voice behind her.

Qin Shuyao didn't have time to say "be careful" before he could say that the accident had already happened, so he had to silently put his hand back and let them deal with it themselves.

Lin Jinxiu covered her head and turned her head, and saw Huai Yanqing standing behind her...... Touch the blood on your nose.

"Miss Lin......" He looked at Lin Jinxiu with a resentful face.

Lin Jinxiu hurriedly took out his handkerchief to wipe his nosebleed, and his movements were so skillful that he completely forgot that the two of them shouldn't do this at this time: "Let you scare me, you deserve it." ”
