The high-level cultivator was playing with him by his side, and Xu Yuan was already numb to this kind of thing.

But can you play this in a confined space like a horse-drawn carriage?

Getting in through the window?

Xu Yuan silently glanced at the rich and generous mind of the beautiful aunt beside him.

Look at this volume, coming in through this small window, it should be stuck.

Well, nothing is absolute.

After all, it's not a hard thing.

There was silence in the carriage for a while,

Li Qingyan seemed to be able to see Lou Ji's movements clearly, there was not much surprise in his eyes, and his voice rustled:

"This matter can actually make President Lou take time out of his busy schedule to come?"

There is no smell of gunpowder, it is very bland.

"Huh"

Lou Ji glanced up and down Li Qingyan with a slight scrutiny, and let out a chuckle from her ruddy plump lips:

"Your Highness said with a smile, I'm just here to see my parents."

“.” Xu Yuan.

"Look at him?" Li Qingyan's flat gaze swept at Xu Yuan.

Lou Ji bowed her head, and her voice was faint:

"Since Changtian was forced to leave Beijing because of that ridiculous thing, I haven't seen him as a sister for two years."

Saying,

Lou Ji pinched Xu Yuan's chin with one hand, forcibly broke his head, and said with a smile while rubbing the dog's head angrily:

"Giggles~ I haven't seen you for so long, our parents are handsome again~"

After a whirlwind, Xu Yuan struggled to break free from the old aunt's hands:

"Enough, bothered?!"

“.”

Lou Ji was stunned for a moment, and then said aggrievedly:

"Long Heaven You Murder Me"

“.” Xu Yuan rolled his eyes.

Li Qingyan sat quietly opposite and watched the two sisters and brothers fighting, there was no anger in a pair of heroic phoenix eyes, but flashed a funny look at Lou Ji opposite.

It's like looking at a naïve fool.

Lou Ji looked back at her gaze, a touch of boredom flashed in her eyes, she let go of her hand, and sighed helplessly:

"Changtian, you're really useless."

“.”

Xu Yuan snorted coldly and didn't speak, estimating in his heart that the old aunt beside him shouldn't be a demon.

After all, Li Qingyan is not a big ice mound.

From identity, to position, to marriage contract, it is completely different, this old aunt has no reason to be a demon.

And as a political marriage, after getting along in a carriage for a month, it is easy for lonely men and widows to fall in love with each other in the same room, and it is likely that one or both of them have bad looks at each other.

But that's how strange things happened.

A month ago, they respected each other like guests, and a month later, Xu Yuan and Li Qingyan were still in a state of respecting each other.

Xu Yuan's methods were ineffective against Li Qingyan.

As a person who has led soldiers in the army since childhood, Li Qingyan knows how to convince people's hearts.

Just like the military training in the previous life, the old NBA is a master.

See the moves, and meet the opponent.

The end result is standing still.

Lou Ji, an aunt, is a fun person, and if she doesn't have the fun of arching the fire, she will naturally not arch the fire anymore.

Slightly silent, Lou Ji returned to the point and brought the topic back to this war:

"Your Highness, Jiang He's old guy asked someone to bring it to you, but it is still well preserved?"

Li Qingyan restrained his eyes and returned to seriousness, and said lightly:

"In perfect condition.

"Chief Lou, it's been more than three months since the palace left the northern border, what is the current situation in the northern border?"

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and March is not a long time, but it is enough to change dramatically.

Hearing this question, a haze immediately flashed in Lou Ji's eyes.

As the leader of the Black Scale Guard, since she secretly arrived in the North, almost all the information will be gathered on her, and thousands of messages have led to an answer.

"At present, the battle situation is still stable, Wu Chenghou and Zong Qingsheng have built several large camps near Dali Mountain, and they are guarding each other's horns, but if this snow continues for another two months, the offensive and defensive momentum between us and the barbarians will change shape."

Li Qingyan understood the reason almost instantly:

"Because the logistics can't keep up?"

A touch of helplessness flashed in Lou Ji's green eyes:

"Now a large amount of ordnance, grain and grass are piled up in Guangyang Fucheng because the road is closed due to heavy snow, and the army on the front line of Dali Mountain and Dingman River can rely on the Sumeru Ring to transport supplies, which is still stable, but now the inventory in the North Closure City is about to bottom out."

Although a large amount of supplies are swallowed into the Beifeng City, the most important pass town in the north, every day, this is still a drop in the bucket compared to the daily consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line.

Wu Yuan's eyebrows frowned slightly when he heard this, and his heart sank.

Her worst fears before she left the North had happened.

Guangyang Fucheng, the transportation hub of the three continents in the north, is located at the junction of this blizzard in the north.

In order to prepare for this war against the barbarians, her father had secretly prepared a large number of supplies, but because of this sudden blizzard, seven or eight out of ten could not be transported to the front line.

In the silence of the carriage,

Xu Yuan suddenly said coldly:

"The transportation capacity of the war is not enough, it should be that the relief of the victims consumes too much military frame of the imperial court."

"Are you crazy?"

Li Qingyan immediately raised his eyes when he heard this, and looked at the man opposite with a touch of puzzlement in his eyes.

She was a little incomprehensible, and the person who was still worried about the soldiers just now said such cold-blooded words in the blink of an eye.

Lou Ji didn't speak, and looked at Xu Yuan's side face with interest.

Xu Yuan glanced at the two of them and said in a deep voice:

"Along the way, Wu Yuan, you also saw that the low-level frame did not dare to go north without the protection of the formation pattern, and along the way, we saw that most of the military frames were diverted to various parts of the three continents for disaster relief, if it continues like this, the emperor will most likely transfer the military frames to help the victims of the three continents in the north and forcibly supply the northern blockade."

The people are the most important, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light.

That's a nice thing to say.

In the ancient feudal dynasties of the previous life, few monarchs could do it, let alone this extraordinary feudal dynasty today.

The last madness of life, the sick attachment to a lifetime of obsession, this kind of thing the emperor of today has definitely done.

Li Qingyan was quiet for a while, did not say anything about it, looked at Lou Ji and asked:

"Uncle Mu, they are like this, what about the sect in the north, where is their army?"

Lou Ji glanced at Xu Yuan with a smile, and slowly leaned her body against the soft couch behind her back:

"This group of sects is all shrunk in the second line."

"Second line?" Li Qingyan frowned.

Lou Ji lowered her eyes and played with the Sumeru ring at her fingertips: "All of their nearly 300,000 elites are huddled near Houting County, listening to the propaganda or not. ”

"Houting County?" Xu Yuan muttered.

Li Qingyan thought about it and explained lightly:

"Uncle Mu built a military town fortress thirty years ago, which fell before, and has been used as a logistics transit station since it was recovered."

Xu Yuan shook his head and said:

"I mean they have so many troops all huddled together, and the logistics can keep up?"

"It's not too deep into the north, it's only three hundred miles away from the North Closure City, and you can use the official road to supply supplies."

“.” Xu Yuan was silent.

Dali Mountain and Dingman River are nearly 1,300 miles away from Beifeng City.

Three hundred miles.

This is the second line, these sects are directly shrunk at the door of the house.

Those mid-level and high-ranking military officials may go out in the morning and eat in the evening.

Rotten.

It sucks.

Lou Ji cocked Erlang's legs, looked at Li Qingyan and said meaningfully:

"It's true that you can use the official road to replenish it, and my spies report that they still have more inventory in the Northern Closure City."

If they didn't listen to the order, the imperial court naturally cut off the supply of food and grass to the army of the sects, but the problem is that these sects have been operating in the north for thousands of years, and the material inventory has already piled up, so it is not a matter at all.

In other words, if they were to be stabbed, the north would have enough supplies to keep the war going.

Glancing at Lou Ji, Li Qingyan shook his head slightly:

"The current situation can't move these moth-eaten things, and if they move, big things may happen."

Lou Ji spread her hands:

"I didn't say I was going to move them, I just gave His Highness a wake-up call."

While speaking, Lou Ji took out a few sealed paper rolls from the Sumeru ring:

"These are the information I have summarized the battle situation in the north, and the princess can take a look at it when she has time."

Li Qingyan stretched out his hand to take it, and after putting it into the Sumeru ring, he arched his hand:

"Wu Yuan, thank you Chief Lou."

"Okay, the family doesn't talk to each other, my subordinate Black Scale Guard will be responsible for escorting these goods to the front line."

Lou Ji smiled slightly, then looked at Xu Yuan, and said, "But since the princess thanks me, can you lend me Changtian for a day?" ”

Hearing this, Li Qingyan glanced at Xu Yuan opposite, pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled:

"Naturally, Chief Lou can use my colt casually."

"Princess Giggles is really generous~ Sister, I won't use Changtian badly~"

After a coquettish laugh, Lou Ji flew out of the carriage with Xu Yuan in her arms.

By the time Xu Yuan came back to his senses, he had already come to a boudoir.

The room was filled with the scent of poisonous flowers.

The dark green bed tent was a mess, and there were some miscellaneous bottles and jars on it, which should have been mixed potions.

On the other side of the desk, there are mountains of various documents, but compared to the mess on the bed, these documents are very neat and clear.

This old aunt has always been very clear, and there is a clear distinction between public and private.

Xu Yuan retracted his gaze, and finally landed on Lou Ji, who was sitting on the edge of the bed:

"Sister, why did you call me over?"

"Changtian, give it to me."

“？” Xu Yuan.

Lou Ji's beautiful eyes narrowed:

"Don't pretend to be confused, Xu Changge's Tianxun round crystal has been given to you, don't think I don't know."

The corners of Xu Yuan's eyes jumped, and he walked to the edge of the bed and sat down with a smile, and said:

"Sister, my father said this thing, it is for Wu Yuan, and it is not that you have no communication wafer when you stay in the city of Beifeng."

Lou Ji threw a wink and grabbed Xu Yuan's arm:

"I just borrowed it for two days, don't be so stingy for a long time~"

Xu Yuan rolled his eyes.

There is a high probability that borrowing it is a meat bun and beating a dog.

After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan took out a black box from the Sumeru ring.

Lou Ji's eyes suddenly lit up for a moment when she saw this scene:

"It's."

"Sumeru Ring."

Xu Yuan slowly opened the black box, and there were thirty-eight Sumeru rings neatly placed inside.

The Sumeru Ring cannot be put directly into the Sumeru Ring, but it can be placed by isolating it with a precious special material such as a black box.

Xu Yuan slowly handed the black box to Lou Ji and said:

"The space in these Sumeru rings is very large, and they have been filled with supplies in the imperial capital, if they are transported to the front line, my father said that it should be enough for Mr. Zong's consumption for two months, so I ask my sister to send it over."

Those sects 20,000 years ago were all local tyrants, and the content of hanging stones in each Sumeru ring was extremely large, even if it was worn out, it was still not comparable to the current Sumeru ring.

Lou Ji's eyes flashed, nodded, put away the Sumeru ring, and then said:

"Okay, sister is in charge of Changtian, let's continue to talk about Tianxunyuan"

The voice did not fall,

Lou Ji was suddenly silent, and looked at the south of the city with a touch of incredulity in her eyes.

During the negotiation with Lou Ji, several carriages escorting the "Yunqi Bullet" had already been bought by the Black Scale Guard's people.

After Xu Yuan and Lou Ji disappeared, Li Qingyan sat alone in the carriage and browsed the Black Scale Guard's intelligence summary of the war.

Very detailed.

There are some text descriptions, and there are also several maps.

A careful record of what has happened in the North over the past three months.

In short, because of the blizzard falling from the sky, Da Yan had to join forces to defend in one place, and the barbarians wanted to consume Da Yan's military strength as much as possible in the process.

This sudden blizzard can be said to be a direct occupation of the time and place for the barbarians who live in the bitter cold land all year round, like a fish in water.

Even if the Great Yan army is strong, under this kind of natural disaster, it can only choose to join forces and hold on.

In the early days of the snowfall, her Yulin army suffered a great loss.

The division of troops means that they will be broken one by one.

Around this point, Marquis Wu Cheng and Zong Qingsheng intrigued with the barbarian king for more than a month.

There were three large-scale encounters, and the losses on both sides were not small, but Da Yan completed the strategic goal of joining forces in one place.

And since Marquis Wu Cheng and Zong Qingsheng shrank their forces, the barbarian army has been cruising around, swimming without attacking.

After carefully reading the text description, Li Qingyan spread out a map on the tea case.

The army of the Great Yan Dynasty is stationed in the layout, and the transportation and supply routes are unobstructed on the map, the Black Scale Army, the Beifeng Army, and even the armies of the Zongmen side.

Next to each station are small letters such as the size of casualties and the status of food and ordnance reserves.

In addition to this, several reconnaissance barbarian strongholds are also marked.

Looking at the map, as time passed, Li Qingyan's phoenix eyes gradually narrowed.

Since the barbarians had only carried out small-scale attacks on Zong Qingsheng's camp more than a month ago to no avail.

She'd seen the blizzard in the depths of the North.

The snow is so deep that it can almost bury people, and ordinary seven-grade cultivation soldiers can't see things five feet away.

"The art of exhaustion?"

Li Qingyan realized what the barbarian king who ruled the northern realm wanted to do.

High-ranking generals can do without rest, but soldiers cannot.

Expeditions of thousands of miles, hanging alone in the north, attacking day and night, under the long-term fatigue of the army, it is easy to be broken by an abrupt blow.

Thinking of this, Li Qingyan frowned, and his slender fingertips gently swiped on the map.

Uncle Mu is not an ordinary general, and that Mr. Zong is not an ordinary person, with the ability of the two of them to command the army, the effect of this move on their command of the army can almost be reduced to a small amount.

The reason why the barbarian king insisted on doing this was what he wanted to do.

While thinking about it, Li Qingyan's phoenix eyes were slightly puzzled, trying to use empathy to push out the old opponent's idea.

I don't know how long it took,

"Boom !!"

A loud roar exploded from the direction of the south of the city, interrupting Li Qingyan's thoughts.

After a moment of silence, Li Qingyan got up and got out of the car and looked in the direction where the explosion sounded.

I saw a huge fire rising outside the city over there, and the protective array of the Northern Closure City had been automatically opened because of this explosion.

The next moment,

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

Three huge alarm bells rang in the sky of Beifeng.

Barbarians, the siege has begun.

It's early
