Chapter 317: A Little Gift
After listening to Li Yuanzhou's words, Zan Bi couldn't help but shudder, when he had just come into contact with several city lords, he felt that Li Yuanzhou had the most straightforward temperament, so he subconsciously got closer, hoping to use this "honest man" to enhance his sense of existence, at least not to be completely marginalized and excluded from several city lords. But after a long time of contact, he realized that Li Yuanzhou, who looked the most honest and honest, turned out to be the most treacherous and cunning one.
Li Yuanzhou and the others retreated happily, making it extremely uncomfortable for the imperial army to go up and down, as if they were ready to charge into battle with all their might, but the opponent turned around and left, which was really embarrassing.
Yue Xiaohan's eyebrows were furrowed, and he saw that the crossbowmen were ready: "The Yunnan army retreats, then we will pursue forward!" ”
"His Royal Highness King Rong, now that the Yunnan army has retreated, we should immediately repair the army, and we can't pursue it easily!"
"Yes, poor Kou Mo chasing, what if this is a trap set by King Ning'an's side and deliberately luring us to the bait?"
"Your Highness, focus on the overall situation!"
"Generals, how can you win on the battlefield if you are so timid?" Yue Xiaohan naturally knew their scruples, but he was suspicious of his father several times, his power in the court had been cut off, and his prestige was gone, and after coming to Yunnan, he lost several battles, which had swept him away.
"Your Highness, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, the important thing is to be improvised, not to be brave, Your Highness think twice."
"Since Your Highness led the troops, there has not been a single victory, so at this time, we should listen to the opinions of our people, maybe we can turn defeat into victory?"
"Yes, this is His Highness's first time on the battlefield, he has no experience before, this is like talking on paper, fluttering and groundless, naturally we must be cautious and not blindly rush."
Yue Xiaohan was furious in his heart, but he had no choice but to return to the camp angrily with these people.
Looking at the way he left, those generals all shook their heads and sighed: "Your Highness has no experience, and he is too impatient in trouble, so he should report it to the emperor to know." "In this way, when the emperor investigates it, they also have a reason to shirk. The others understood: "Yes, it's not a way to go on like this, you should let the emperor know the situation on the battlefield as soon as possible, and you can also make corresponding countermeasures." ”
Gong Yi Jin'er walked into the camp tent and saw Yue Xiaohan with a gloomy expression, with distress in his eyes: "Your Highness, it is clear that Li Yuanzhou did it on purpose, in order to completely disturb the general's heart, don't be fooled." ”
Yue Xiaohan closed his eyes, and Leng Mang was like a sharp sword with a cold chill: "My father doesn't trust me at all, although for the sake of your public loser's face, let me go to the battlefield, but he sent his own cronies to restrain him, I can't see anything on weekdays, once I disagree with them on the battlefield, my subordinates have no soldiers to adjust, you say, isn't it funny?" ”
Gong Yi Jin'er didn't know how to comfort him: "Your Highness, the matter is not so serious, you don't have to be so pessimistic, when the war is reversed, everything can be planned from scratch." ”
Yue Xiaohan sighed heavily: "I don't know what happened to Li Jing?" "The only chance to quickly turn the tide of the battle is the battle of Huya Pass, if you can successfully destroy Huya Pass and divert the Minjiang River, everything is okay, if this plan is broken by King Ning'an again, then the situation is really bad.
Gong Yi Jin'er bit her lip slightly, and did not speak, but she was secretly thinking to herself in her heart: Looking at the current appearance of the Yunnan army, I am afraid that Li Jing's side will not go well......
On the other side, Mu Yunlan followed the army under Liangyou to ambush in the mountains and forests north of Huya Pass, which is the upper reaches of the Min River, where mountains converge everywhere, and the terrain is steep, which is particularly suitable for setting up troops to ambush.
Liang You looked at the three hundred people under Mu Yunlan, and then looked at the soldiers on his side, and couldn't help but envy: "Princess, you are too good to your subordinates, brand new chain mail, extremely sharp weapons, and even a portable bow and crossbow, as the lord of a city, I want to be a soldier under you." ”
Mu Yunlan smiled slightly: "Their skills are not good, naturally they need more means to defend themselves, these people under the good city lord are all good generals who have experienced a hundred battles, so naturally they don't need so many cumbersome means." ”
"I've seen the heroic posture of the princess's subordinates, speaking of which, I heard that Li Yuanzhou was cheeky and begged for a lot of pills from the princess, I don't know if the princess doesn't have it yet, can you also give my people a little self-defense, you look at the deep mountains and dense forests, maybe there will be some poisonous insects, snakes, ants and the like......"
"The good city lord said that it was late, Li Cheng mainly left a batch, and the Duan city lord saw that he also wanted some, and the last remaining bit of the Zhou city lord and the Zan city lord were divided, so I really can't take out the excess in my hands."
"Ah, these treacherous villains, they even dare to make up their minds about the princess's things, and they will definitely let the prince punish them when they turn around!" Liangyou regretted it in his heart, why didn't he be embarrassed to speak before, he let Li Yuanzhou take advantage of them, hum, don't think about coming to yourself again to ask for a penny!
Mu Yunlan's sense of Liangyou has always been very good, when Zan Yuan tried to damage her reputation and persecuted her grandfather and second brother, he also secretly helped, she has always remembered this kindness: "Although the pills are gone, there are still some left from the previous research of the Hidden Blade, I don't know if the Lord of Liangcheng will dislike it?" ”
"Hidden Arrows?"
"Yes," Mu Yunlan said, turning her head and signaling to Tan Lao Liu on the side.
Tan Lao Liu smiled innocently, raised his arm and wrist and lowered it, and slammed his fist at a small tree more than a dozen steps away, and a black shadow shot out from his small arm with a whoosh, and slammed into the tree.
Liangyou was taken aback, and then his eyes lit up: "Princess, the power of this sleeve arrow is really not small." "I'm afraid I can penetrate people at close range!
"It can only be used for self-defense, although it has been improved, a sleeve arrow can only hold six short arrows, and the lethality is limited, however, the arrows are quenched with highly poisonous, the toxicity is a little strong, and the throat is sealed with blood."
"Does the princess have a few thousand Hidden Arrows left?"
Mu Yunlan choked, thousands of pays, she has a total of three hundred people, what do she do by making thousands of sleeve arrows?
"There are fifty payments left, and the good city is mainly too little......"
"Not too little, not too little," Liang You's always serious face had a rare smile, making his whole person look much gentler, "Princess, when this battle is over, how about you lend me the craftsman who makes the sleeve arrows?" "It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, and with a craftsman who makes sleeve arrows, his soldiers will have a few more lives!
"This ...... The good city lord said a little late, and he had already let the city lord Li borrow it. ”
Liangyou gritted his teeth violently: Li Yuanzhou, when he goes back, he will definitely teach him well, let him know what it means to respect the elder, and the three million taels of silver he borrowed, and ask for it back, if he doesn't give it, he will directly send someone to Longcheng and empty his city lord's mansion!
Xiu'er quickly ran back and reported to Mu Yunlan: "General, the enemy army has been found three miles away. ”
Mu Yunlan raised her hand and made a gesture, and the people under her immediately went on full alert, hiding their breath, and in the blink of an eye, they seemed to be one with the mountains and forests.
Liangyou blinked, looking at those people's eyes bright: They are all good players, at least this hidden kung fu practice is home, but I don't know what it is like to go to the battlefield?
He has been helping to arrange military supplies, so he only heard rumors that the princess's soldiers are particularly powerful, but he has never really seen it, and now he finally has the opportunity to see it with his own eyes.
After a quarter of an hour, the scouts under Liangyou came to report: "City Lord, the enemy has been found ......"
"I see, in terms of time, it should be a mile away, right?"
"yes, how do you know?" The scout froze.
"Let's go down."
Mu Yunlan raised the corners of her lips vaguely, and then stared intently at the road below.
Entering the mountainous area, the people led by Li Jing had no way to ride horses at all, so they could only dismount and walk, which made the speed undoubtedly much slower.
After Mu Yunlan saw the imperial court soldiers and horses led by Li Jing, she nodded at Xiu'er.
Xiu'er turned around and let out a few realistic birdsong sounds, which were inconspicuous in the mountains and forests.
Liangyou felt that something was gradually recovering, which made him a little creepy: "Princess, just now?" ”
"A little gift for the soldiers and horses of the imperial court."
After waiting for a while, the soldiers and horses of the court were already clearly visible, and Liangyou did not find out what the little gift Mu Yunlan said, just when he was puzzled, he suddenly saw a panic among the soldiers and horses of the court, and the wails kept sounding, and the voice was particularly poignant.
"Help, there are snakes, there are so many snakes!"
Liangyou looked at it intently, only to find that there were many poisonous snakes crawling towards the imperial army, densely packed, making people keep breaking out in cold sweat on their backs at a glance, this is the little gift that the princess said? Indeed, those poisonous snakes don't look big, but they are poisonous! Even if it is not poisonous, it is scary enough, the road on the mountain road is narrow, and the Huya Pass is known as the moat, and the people of the court have been walking carefully, but now it is chaotic, and under the chaos and pushing, people fall down the cliff like dumplings, and they lose a lot in a moment.
Mu Yunlan's gaze did not fluctuate in the slightest, seeing that the time was almost up, she made a gesture again, Tan Laoliu and the others quietly measured the direction of the wind, took out a long bamboo pole, and quietly poked one end out, blowing out a piece of white powder in the direction of the imperial army.
Liangyou was extremely curious: "Princess, is that?" ”
"A little gift." Mu Yunlan raised the corners of her lips, with a hint of cunning in her eyes.
Liangyou couldn't help but swallow his saliva, it seems that the princess has prepared a lot of small gifts for the imperial army, I hope that when the princess finishes sending the gifts, there will still be people to kill, otherwise they will be ambushed here in vain these days!
