Finally survived to the next court, and all the ministers secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as the empress's royal car left, the courtiers who didn't want to do much immediately followed the soles of their feet to anoint oil.

At the end of the line are Wang and Li.

Li Zhongming deliberately slowed down, and when Wang Xu came up, he put his hands in his sleeves and sighed: "Lord Wang, I'm really afraid that I will see you next time, so I have to go to your house to condole." ”

Wang Xulang smiled: "When did Lord Li become so timid?" It's not like you. ”

Li Zhongming continued to sigh: "It's not that I'm timid, it's really Lord Wang who is bold. ”

Wang Xu smiled for a while, slowly smiled again, and changed the conversation: "The eldest princess returned to the court, and Lord Li didn't even know about it?" ”

Li Zhongming knew what he wanted to say, but the matter of the eldest princess's return to the dynasty was indeed unknown to this day.

The two determined that this was not a problem with their intelligence network, but the eldest princess He Ruoyuanjia's return to the dynasty, which was really concealed.

Stepping out of the council hall, the sky above their heads, the wide hall square in front of them, and the departing civil and military generals all made the two adults have different ideas.

After walking a few steps, the two of them sighed in unison.

After a while, Li Zhongming said: "The matter of the eldest princess's return to the court, I have to hand over the news." ”

Wang Xu should be next.

……

In the territory of Sui, the Northern Liang army, which had just won Wacheng, was pacifying the people left behind in Wacheng while quickly resting and replenishing.

Lianyin's target is the third city that Sui Realm has entered, Wengcheng.

The urn city is in the southeast of Wacheng, and it is connected with Wacheng and the first border of the Sui realm, which happens to be an arc.

After studying the topography of the Sui Realm, Lian Yin immediately decided to take the three cities. As long as the three cities are in hand, she can organize the three cities into a joint defense line, and the dozens of miles including these three cities can only be owned by Beiliang in the future.

Standing on the high city wall, Lian Yin overlooked the urn city that was not visible at all. Occasionally, the wind blew from above, blowing a few strands on the side of her face, like tickling, scratching her cheeks. She didn't bother to reach out and brushes them away, so she let them run wild.

Along with the wind, there was also the smell of the remnants of the war in the nose, and among the mixed smells, there was the smell of blood, and there was also the smell of burnt wood after the flames burned the wood.

The flavors are diverse, but the truth tells the cruelty of a war.

Under the city walls, the occasional wounded walked by. Either with their arms bandaged or their heads covered, many of them were discouraged, but since they were not injured enough to get out of bed and have not yet died, they had to continue to do what they were supposed to do.

"General." At some point, Shen Fang walked behind Lianyin and called her softly.

Legato heard it, but didn't look back.

Under the experience of the two battles, Shen Fang has grown faster and faster.

Now as long as Lian Yin doesn't think about his age, he can forget that he is just a big boy.

His face was much more resolute, and even his eyes became deeper and deeper, like a general leading the troops.

Shen put it up to report on the situation in the army: "All the armies have been reorganized and can set off at any time." ”

Lian Yin finally nodded.

Shen Fang thought that she would issue an order immediately, but to his surprise, she suddenly asked him, "Shen Fang, do you think we can take down the urn city smoothly?" ”

"Absolutely." He didn't want to think about it.

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because it's the general who leads the troops."

When Lian Yin heard this answer, he couldn't help but purse his lips.

"Because I'm the one who leads the troops, can I definitely do it?"

"Yes." Shen Fang said: "The general said that he wanted to take the urn city, then he would definitely be able to take it." ”

There are not so many other reasons, just because Lianyin said to take it, then it can be won, and the answer is real, but the words are full of trust.

Lian Yin paused, and then asked, "Then do you know why I have to take Wengcheng?" ”

I don't know this.

Lian Yin didn't play dumb riddles, and told him frankly: "With the urn city, with the two cities that have been taken, our defense line against the Sui State will be stable, and our year's battle will not be in vain, and the soldiers who died in battle and were seriously injured and could no longer go to the battlefield did not pay in vain." In the next few decades, or even a hundred years, the peace will be stabilized. So the urn city must be taken. ”

Shen Fang eyes moved, so it was!

"General rest assured, the last general will do his best, and he will definitely take the urn city!"

Lian Yin said: "It's just that if you want to take the urn city, there may be many obstacles." The Sui State will not send us any more cities, and there may not be many reinforcements in our rear. ”

"No matter what, the last general will definitely take the urn city for the general."

Lian Yin finally looked back at him and shook his head at him: "You are not bad at anything now, but you are just a little bit, you love to force yourself too much." ”

Shen Fang didn't want to be preached again, and looked at Lianyin in a daze for a while.

seems to be digesting her words, and seems to feel aggrieved. Why does he say that he loves to force himself when he is so faithful? He didn't force himself, he really thought so. As long as it is ligato to do, he will do his best to help and will not give up.

Lian Yinguang could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his expression.

Inevitably, I laughed again.

She shook her head and said, "It's still small." ”

This sentence instantly touched a string that sank, and the expression on his face suddenly changed to unconvinced.

Where is he still young?

He's already a man!

It's just that he has the courage to think so, but he doesn't have the courage to refute it in front of the legato.

Of course, Lian Yin won't give him a chance to refute it.

She took two steps towards him: "I told you what I said just now, I didn't want you to force yourself, you are only one person, no matter how brave you are, you are only one person." I'm talking to you about that, one is to tell you what the next situation might be, so you are prepared. Second, I hope you can think about it, maybe come up with a clever plan? ”

He also said: "On the march to fight, a strong general has a lot to do." can be wise, and can get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Shen Fang seemed to understand.

Lian Yin wants him to be a wise general, not just a simple follow-up to orders, pointing out where to fight the generals.

Shen lowered his gaze and thought slowly.

Lian Yin didn't wait for him to recover from his contemplation, and turned around and walked towards the staircase of the city wall.

……

After resting for three days in Wacheng, the Northern Liang army sent troops again.

Go straight to the urn city.

Wengcheng got the news early in the morning, and closed the city gate in an instant, resisting while waiting for reinforcements sent by Emperor Sui.

The reinforcements of the Sui State were divided into two routes, and they came to Wengcheng from both sides.

What the Sui army didn't expect was that the Northern Liang army had long been familiar with their route, and had chosen the best ambush location early in the morning, waiting for their appearance.

The Sui army was careless, fell into an ambush, and immediately lost its troops, so it had to quickly turn around and retreat for dozens of miles.

Wengcheng did not wait for the Sui army, and the Northern Liang army made many surprise attacks, which made it more and more difficult.
