In the evening, Jing Ning was chatting with Ji Qing in the room, and Wen Xing suddenly trotted in, beaming with joy on his face. Jing Ning raised his eyes and scolded, "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Seeing that Ji Qing was also there, Wen Xing put a smile on his face and respectfully handed the letter in his hand to Jing Ning.

"Miss, the general has a letter."

Jing Ning's eyes lit up, and his face was a little excited. The mud seal has been opened, the old general and his wife have obviously seen it, and Jing Ning doesn't care that Ji Qing is on the side, so he unfolds the letter and reads it carefully.

It turned out that there had been a skirmish on the border three days earlier.

Originally, the national strength of Zhao and Qi was almost the same, and if they fought rashly, they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties, so Xiao Rin had been reorganizing and deploying since he reached the border, so that the soldiers could rest and recuperate, and he had been immobile in the face of Qi Guo's provocation. The Xiao family has a very high prestige in the army, so although the soldiers have doubts in their hearts, their military hearts are extremely stable.

On the other hand, the State of Qi would send a squad of cavalry to harass the State of Zhao almost every day, but there was no return, and the second prince was anxious when he saw this, so he wanted to directly lead the army to attack.

"Second prince, this must not be, right now the Zhao army is recuperating, then Xiao Rin must want to accumulate thick and thin, and our army's daily attacks have not yielded results, the army's heart is already unstable, if you rush to send troops at this time, our army will inevitably suffer great losses, and I hope that the second prince will think twice!" Li Shang's face was anxious, and he looked at the back of the second prince and said sincerely. Since the last successful surprise attack of the second prince, he has become more and more greedy and arbitrary, and Li Shangsheng is afraid that the second prince will be excited and bury the lives of the Qi army soldiers in vain.

"It is precisely because of the failure to attack Wei that we must launch a large-scale attack on them, if we allow Zhao to recuperate, wouldn't our army have even less chance of winning? Li Shang, think about the last time, if I hadn't seized the opportunity, how could our army have won? ”

The second prince turned around, his face was very complacent, and his words did not take Li Shang's suggestion into account at all. Li Shang frowned, and sighed secretly in his heart, these two princes are too arrogant.

"This ......" Li Shang opened his mouth and was about to say something, but was interrupted by the second prince waving his hand.

The second prince had a look of impatience on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "This matter is so decided, order Deputy General Zhang to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to burn the Zhao army's camp at night, and Li Shang, you will lead 50,000 troops to respond in the rear, this time it will definitely be able to deal a heavy blow to the Zhao army!" The second prince looked extremely confident, as if he had seen Xiao Rin running away in a hurry.

Although Li Shang disagreed in his heart, he still received the order to go down and make arrangements.

On the other side, in the Zhao army camp, Xiao Rin sat in the camp and discussed with the generals.

"General, the Qi army has attacked and harassed many times, although the number is not large, but it is very annoying, the soldiers are holding their breath in their hearts, if it continues like this, I am afraid that the army will be unstable." The expression on General Fu's face was a little worried.

Xiao Rin nodded, indeed, Qi Guo has been repeatedly disturbed in the past few days, and he is extremely tired in his heart, but the time has not yet come, so he must not act rashly.

"The Qi army has attacked many times but has no effect, and the second prince is an anxious person, he is afraid that he will not last long to carry out such an attack, so he ordered the generals and soldiers of the army to strengthen their night precautions and transfer the grain and grass." Xiao Rin's face was serious and his tone was low, and he kept assuming in his heart what kind of offensive means he would take if he was the second prince.

"General, if the grain and grass are transferred, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of the Qi army, but it will expose our weakness." There was some disagreement in Fu's words.

This time the two countries were at war, and Ji Feiyun, the eldest son of the military department, was responsible for the escort of grain and grass, but Ji Feiyun and Xiao Rin had never been at odds, so the time for the grain and grass to be transported was not timely, and it would always be eight or nine days later than the expected time, and the new batch of grain and grass had not yet been delivered, so for Zhao Jun, grain and grass were their biggest weakness.

"It's okay, I have asked the emperor for an order, and the court will send Lord Li to be responsible for the escort of grain and grass, and it is expected to be delivered in two days at the latest. At present, we must be careful of the night attack of the Zhao army. Xiao Rin knew what General Fu was worried about, he had been worried about the plan before he set out on the expedition, and sure enough, he deliberately delayed the baggage, so Xiao Rin asked the emperor for an order.

If Xiao Rin is the commander of the Qi army, he will choose to attack at night, first burn grain and grass, and then destroy weapons, so that the combat effectiveness of the Zhao army will be greatly reduced, and then it will be the best time to attack.

That night, the elite of 30,000 Qi troops attacked the Zhao army camp at night, but the Zhao army had already prepared, although it was a little panicked for a while, but it quickly calmed down and fought against the Qi army in an orderly manner under the command of Xiao Rin. Zhao Jun had already held his breath in his heart, and now that the Qi army was sent to the door, Zhao Jun was red-eyed, but in just a cup of tea, the 30,000 elite of the Qi army collapsed, and Li Shang saw that the situation was not good in the rear and immediately led the army to flee back to the Qi army camp.

In this battle, the Zhao army won a great victory, annihilating 30,000 Qi troops, and the Qi army was greatly injured and lost the most elite troops in the army.

Xiao Rin wrote down the battle situation in detail in the letter, and the words were full of joy.

Jing Ning breathed a sigh of relief after reading the letter, the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, but fortunately, Xiao Rin was thoughtful and could have this victory.

"Looking at my sister's expression, it must be General Xiao who has shown his might on the battlefield." Ji Qing looked at Jing Ning with a smile and took in Jing Ning's expression.

Jing Ning came back to his senses, raised a decent smile on his face, and said softly: "Sister guessed correctly, this is a good news." ”

Looking at Ji Qing with a smile on her face, Jing Ning's heart was a little dark, she still remembered that Xiao Rin mentioned in her heart that Ji Feiyun deliberately delayed the escort of grain and grass.

Ji Qing smiled more and more happily when he heard this, and said some festive words coincidentally, Jing Ning's face was harmonious, but there was a little estrangement in his heart, that Ji Feiyun, if he had the opportunity, he would definitely meet him.

At this time, the subordinates in the palace came to spread the word, saying that the emperor's reward had arrived. Jing Ning and Ji Qing glanced at each other and hurriedly walked to the front hall. After sending off the father-in-law who had announced the decree, it was already dark, and Jing Ning was a little tired, so he sent Ji Qing away, wanting to rest early.

"Miss, Wanxi is here, saying that she wants to congratulate Miss." Wen Xing showed a little annoyance on his face when he said Wanxi.

Jing Ning frowned, she was tired today and didn't have time to deal with that woman.

"Find a reason to send her away." Jing Ning waved his hand lightly, ready to rest under Bihua's service. Wen Xing answered and retreated. After a while, Wen Xing walked back again, followed by a person.

Jing Ning frowned, and said in a cold tone: "If you want to congratulate, come back tomorrow, Wen Xing, send off." ”

Wen Xing hesitated for a moment, leaned away, revealing the person behind him. Jing Ning was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw the visitor, and a little surprise flashed in his eyes. How did she come here at this time?
