The Favoured Medical Princess: 577 Invincible
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
Amidst the uproar, Li Shoubei and City Guard Su Yuming, who were sitting next to each other, quietly communicated with their eyes.
The consensus between the two is that the prince definitely did not come up with this idea out of nowhere because his brain was crazy.
So, why?
Could it be that the prince did it to give the emperor face? Li Shoubei raised his right eyebrow at Su Yuming and expressed it with his eyes.
Su Yuming frowned and said: No way! According to him, most likely the prince had no choice but to compromise in order to prevent the emperor from suspecting that Southern Xinjiang was disloyal. For the sake of the overall situation, the prince actually let an outsider hold a knife to his neck!
Hey, the prince is so pitiful and it’s so difficult!
Thinking about it, Su Yuming almost wiped away tears for the prince. First, the prince was unkind and unfair to the prince and made things difficult for him. Now, the prince finally got the emperor's permission to return to Nanjing. Jiang, got rid of the embarrassing identity of a proton, but unexpectedly the emperor refused to let go, and sent An Yihou to supervise the army!
What supervisor? ! He is clearly monitoring every move of the prince and the prince!
In order not to cause trouble to Xiao Yi, they had been instructing the people below to be careful in their words and deeds and not to neglect the An Yihou. Unexpectedly, the other party was so aggressive that if the tiger did not show its power, they would think they were sick cats!
The more Su Yuming thought about it, the angrier he became. Unable to bear this tone, Huo Di stood up, clasped his fists and smiled at Guan Yu Baipi and said: "Master Hou, please forgive me for speaking so bluntly, Master Hou." Although you have experienced hundreds of battles and are wise and prodigious, the Marquis has just arrived in southern Xinjiang and knows very little about the topography, topography, customs and people of southern Xinjiang. I am afraid that..." You are not strong enough, right?
He did not spell out what he said next, but the doubts in his words were clear.
The hall fell silent again. All the generals' eyes were focused on Guan Yubai, wanting to see how he would respond. Their eyes looked like they were watching a good show.
Only Fu Yunhe cast a look of sympathy or emotion at Su Yuming. Su Yuming usually seemed to be a smart man, but why was he so impulsive today? He was stupid enough to provoke Guan Yubai. This was not natural. Looking for some smoke?
Guan Yubai slowly sipped hot tea.
Seeing that he was silent, Su Yuming snorted coldly in his heart and continued aggressively: "Master Hou, I would like to forgive you for asking me boldly. That day when the Nanliang army came to Yanding City, what if the person guarding the city was Hou? Sir, what should I do?"
His words were a naked provocation, and he was clearly trying to embarrass Guan Yubai.
All the generals present knew that the Nanliang coach led an army of 20,000 troops to attack Yanding City, but the Southern Xinjiang defenders in Yanding City only had 5,000 troops. There was a huge gap in the strength of the two sides. Sun Shoubei was able to hold on to Yanding City for three days and three nights because he had been an official in the city for many years and was very prestigious among the people. He was able to call on the people in the city to join forces with the defenders to defend the city, and finally got help for Huiling City. time.
No one present, even if they were in Sun's defensive position at the time, had no confidence that they could do better than the other party...
What can Guan Yubai do? !
The most he can do is repeat what Sun Shoubei did, but as anyone can tell, with Sun Shoubei’s feat in front of him, no matter what Guan Yubai says at this moment, it will seem pale and feeble...
Su Yuming looked at Guan Yubai mockingly, and was about to press him again, when he saw Guan Yubai put down the tea cup in his hand, looked at him, smiled faintly, and said: "Master Su, there is no basis for what you say. , how about we practice on the sand table?"
Except for Xiao Yi, no one expected that Guan Yubai would respond like this. There was a faint hint of a general's spirit in the light clouds, and the hall fell into silence for the third time.
Li Shoubei's brows twitched, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart. He couldn't help but think: If An Yihou dared to propose such a proposal, could it be said that he was already confident?
This idea came to Su Yuming's mind for a moment, but then he put it behind him.
How is that possible? The situation faced by Yanding City at that time was already a dead end. Even with the official language and white tongue and lotus flower, it was impossible for the guards in the city to suddenly have the magical power to fight one against ten! Is he just trying to be mysterious?
Su Yuming glanced at Xiao Yi subconsciously and saw that he was drinking tea by himself, with his eyes half lowered, but did not make any statement.
The prince must be hoping to take this opportunity to kill the majesty of An Yihou and make him retreat in the face of difficulties! Su Yuming said to himself in his heart, looked at Guan Yubai again, and said coldly: "It just so happens that Li Shoubei has a sand table in the Yanding City area, so the general will boldly ask the Marquis for advice!"
While speaking, Su Yuming's eyes were filled with sparks, and there was a cold and sharp murderous look in his expression.
In contrast, Guan Yubai's calm and gentle manner formed a great contrast with him.
The generals were whispering among themselves and waiting to see what happened. Not to mention Guan Yubai and Su Yuming's ability to lead troops in battle, the advantages of Su Yuming, who represented Nanliang in this battle, were too obvious. He didn't need to rely on any tactics at all. As long as he ordered his troops to attack the city repeatedly in batches in the form of wheel warfare like the Nanliang coach did, Guanyu Bai's side would inevitably die of exhaustion. He would definitely lose!
I don’t know why An Yihou wants to bring trouble to himself... Many soldiers thought sarcastically.
Fu Yunhe thought again and again, and whispered softly to General Zheng beside him: "Old Zheng, why don't you go and persuade Old Su?"
Zheng Shenjiang looked at Fu Yunhe suspiciously, his eyes seemed to say, what should I do to persuade him? People like An Yihou who don't know how to praise should give him some color!
Fu Yunhe felt helpless. This was really a chicken-and-duck talk. What he was worried about was not that Guan Yu would be frustrated in vain, but that Lao Zheng would be embarrassed! Guan Yubai, that was Guan Yubai. Although he was not a few years older than himself, the children of the royal capital who were born as generals had lived in his legend since childhood. Guan Yubai was almost synonymous with omnipotence!
Zheng Shenjiang looked at Fu Yunhe strangely and thought: Why is this child so weird today? Could it be that he and Guan Yubai had friendship before in the king?
Fu Yunhe immediately understood General Zheng’s thoughts and rubbed his forehead and heart tiredly. Forget it, you will know how powerful it is after you suffer.
After a cup of tea, a large mahogany case appeared in the center of the main hall. Then, two young men carefully moved a huge sand table over and placed it on the large mahogany case.
Li Shoubei stood up and stepped forward and said: "This sand table covers the terrain of fifty miles around Yanding City. I found it in this garrison mansion. It should be made by Sun Shoubei..." As he said this, Li Shoubei's eyes With a hint of appreciation, he said, "I have compared the maps of this area, and this sand table is very detailed and accurate." Even the surrounding mountains, vegetation, water flows, etc. are all simulated.
Su Yuming couldn't wait any longer. He rolled up his sleeves and cupped his fists and said, "Master Hou, please give me some advice!"
The two stood at opposite ends of the sand table, with Su Yuming on the offensive side and Guan Yubai on the defensive side.
However, this war has not yet begun, and Guan Yubai is already at an absolute disadvantage.
The surrounding generals were also a little unable to hold back, and wanted to gather around and watch, but after all, they were concerned about Xiao Yi's presence, so everyone sat quietly in their seats to watch the battle.
Only Li Shoubei explained in detail the battle situation half a year ago by the sand table, starting with the Nanliang army's capture of Dengli and Yongjia cities. Due to the surrender of Dengli and Yongjia cities one after another, the Nanliang army came to No news of the attack leaked out until it was forced towards Yongjia City. By the time the troops reached the city, it was already too late.
There was no trace of nervousness on Guan Yubai's face, and he said calmly: "In other words, it takes about three hours from the time Sun Shoubei learned that Nanliang's army marched north to the time when Nanliang's army approached the city?"
Li Shoubei nodded seriously.
Yes, it only lasted three hours. It was too late to call in reinforcements, and it was impossible to lead the people in the city to escape... In the end, the people sent by Sun Shoubei broke through the siege and rushed to Luoyue City, and Huiling City was finally relieved. Otherwise, even half a day later, even Huiling City would not be able to escape the massacre! By then, life will be in ruins again, and southern Xinjiang will be in danger!
The atmosphere in the hall became solemn, and every general was immersed in it, with uncontrollable indignation on their faces.
Guan Yubai glanced around the sand table and gave his first order as the garrison of Yanding City. He summoned 5,000 guards, organized the troops, and sent 3,000 guards out of the city to rush to the Yanlai River. in the middle and upper reaches, and then ordered the remaining guards in the city to gather the young adults in the city...
What? ! Su Yuming's eyes widened in disbelief. What did An Yihou want to do? There were only 5,000 guards in the city, so he first mobilized 3,000 guards, and the remaining 2,000 were added to the city's guards. How can a strong man defend the city?
Su Yuming calmed down and thought: No matter what tricks An Yihou wants to play, he has an army of 20,000, and he can't make any waves!
Su Yuming no longer thought too much, and calmly issued the order, reorganized the troops, marched according to the original march route of the Nanliang army, and sent spies to rush to Yanding City first.
The three thousand guards sent by Guan Yubai marched fifteen miles toward the southeast of Yanding City and arrived at the narrowest part of the middle and upper reaches of the Yanlai River to block the river...
"Blocking the river?" Before Su Yuming could say anything, Li Shoubei couldn't help but blurted out, "May I ask why the Marquis wants to block the river?"
Guan Yubai stretched out the index finger of his right hand, pointed to a spot on the sand table and said: "There is an old river here. The Yanlai River was supposed to branch here and split into two, but this old river is narrow. , floods are prone to occur during the rainy season. More than ten years ago, this old river overflowed several times and submerged the villages downstream. Later, the guards at that time simply blocked the old river and widened it slightly. The current river channel makes the river only flow through this channel..."
Guan Yubai talks eloquently, and it is obvious that he already has a plan in mind.
The surrounding officers and soldiers were a little careless about the sand table battle where the enemy and our forces were disparate in strength, but Guan Yubai unexpectedly took a wrong approach and suddenly attracted their attention. Everyone was in an uproar. Discussing among each other.
Zheng Shenjiang remembered something, touched his chin covered with curly beard and said: "So, in my impression, I have indeed heard that the Yanlai River flooded several times more than ten years ago. He has meritorious service and won the award from the old prince..."
As he said that, Zheng Shenjiang looked at Guan Yubai with a different look in his eyes. He didn't expect that An Yihou had already understood the situation around Yanding City so clearly even after he had been in Yanding City for less than a month. , and even what happened more than ten years ago has been investigated clearly...
Zheng Shenjiang suddenly remembered that he had heard several people mention it. After arriving at Yanding City, An Yihou had to take his servant and bodyguard out of the city every morning, leaving at sunrise and returning at sunset. Could it be that he has been carefully examining the environment around Yanding City these days? ...It seems that the Guanjiajun had such a prestigious reputation back then, and it was definitely not for nothing. This An Yihou, no, it should be said that this young general should not be underestimated!
At this time, there was another noise in the surrounding area. When General Zheng raised his eyes, he saw that the 20,000 troops led by Su Yuming were already approaching the city like the Nanliang army. At this moment, there were only 2,000 regular guards in Yanding City. Let's just say that it is absolutely impossible for Guan Yubai to survive three days and three nights like Sun Shoubei. It would be a miracle if he could survive for one day and one night at most.
In this regard, Guan Yubai was still calm and said calmly: "Three more hours are enough. Adding the previous time, five hours are enough for the Yanlai River to change its course. April is the month in southern Xinjiang. During the rainy season, it has been raining heavily for five consecutive days in the Yanding City area. The Yanlai River is at its most abundant and turbulent time. The old river channel is originally narrow and prone to siltation. Once the river changes its course, the water will flow all the way to Yanding. In front of the city..."
As he spoke, he smoothly pointed out the direction of the water flow with his fingers.
At this time, someone had already run over and quietly took the map from more than ten years ago, and compared it with the direction Guan Yubai pointed in, but they were all speechless...
Nanliang people are good at water. Even if the Yanlai River floods, it may not kill them, but it can destroy their morale and flood their food and grass. How can they fight without food and grass... I'm afraid Nanliang coach He had to give up this surprise attack and lead his troops back to Yongjia City to rest and recuperate. Once Yanding City defended this battle, there would be a chance for reinforcements to arrive!
The generals in the hall were all frowning and thinking, and their minds were unconsciously filled with thoughts, trying to imagine what choices they would make if they encountered such a situation...
Time flew by in a blink of an eye, and two cups of tea passed by in an instant.
The two people fighting were staring at the sand table intently, but one was calm and calm, with a sure victory, while the other was dumbfounded, as if he was in a never-ending nightmare...
Su Yuming stared at the sand table in front of him without blinking, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He did not expect that Guan Yubai would come up with such a clever plan. In just a few words, he forced himself into a desperate situation, and the 20,000-strong army collapsed in the flood. Broken, like a plate of loose sand.
Su Yuming's mind was in chaos. There was a voice in his heart saying that Guan Yubai should have come prepared, so he knew so much information that was not found on the maps and sand table, and he thought that They had the advantage in strength, but they came unprepared with a sense of righteous indignation. They were already at a disadvantage in the first step...
Su Yuming couldn't help but think in his heart, although this was just a game on the sandbox, if he really followed Guan Yubai's plan step by step, would Yanding City have been able to escape the disaster? Woolen cloth?
Yanding City's past has long been a foregone conclusion... Su Yuming didn't let himself think about it any longer and returned his attention to the sand table.
After a while, he clenched his fist vigorously and uttered the three words with difficulty:
"I...I admit defeat."
Su Yuming lowered his head dejectedly, his face turning blue and white. Although he was unwilling to give in, he had to admit that Guan Yubai was worthy of being the young general of the official army who had never lost a hundred battles. His strategy was beyond the reach of ordinary generals.
I was still too careless. Because of the other party's weak appearance, I unconsciously underestimated the other party, which made me lose so embarrassingly... I really felt sorry for the prince and embarrassed him!
Su Yuming thought regretfully.
"Process." Guan Yubai said calmly, clasping his fists, still as calm and gentle as ever.
Xiao Yi watched from the side with a smile from beginning to end. Originally, it was not his turn to take action on these trivial matters.
With Guan Yubai's ability, it couldn't be easier to convince Su Yuming.
For Xiao Yi, it is not only for Su Yuming, but also to give Guan Yubai a chance to shock other people present - he must let them see Xiaobai's power before they know how to obey!
Li Shoubei, General Zheng Shen and other generals also looked unhappy.
Even if they were asked to step forward to fight Guan Yubai instead of Su Yuming just now, they would never be able to capture Yanding City, so they would have no way and no position to question the other side.
All the soldiers were silent, their hearts filled with unwillingness but helpless.
The character of An Yihou is really difficult to deal with. He has the emperor and the court behind him. He can argue with reason, but cannot use force or power to force him. Otherwise, he will bring great trouble to the prince and southern Xinjiang. Trouble.
Although the generals are still unwilling and dissatisfied, now they can only let An Yihou temporarily take charge of the affairs of the three cities...
Among the generals, only General Zheng was thoughtful. At this moment, when he thought about Fu Yunhe asking him to persuade Su Yuming just now, it seemed that he had something to say. Could it be that Fu Yunhe already knew that Guan Yubai would definitely win? !
Zheng Shenjiang couldn't help but look towards Fu Yunhe, who nodded towards him.
It's really true... Zheng Shenjiang looked at Guan Yubai again. It seemed that this person might be more resourceful than he thought.
Such a person is a double-edged sword, which can be a blessing or a disaster in southern Xinjiang.
Thinking about it, General Zheng frowned tightly, and his heart felt heavy.
Xiao Yi didn't say much. He has seen people's hearts for a long time. When he and Xiaobai work together to defeat the Nanliang people, Su Yuming, Li Shoubei, and everyone present will naturally understand what Xiaobai is. What kind of person he is, and how amazingly talented he is.
Let time prove everything!
Xiao Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looked around at everyone in the main hall, and then said loudly: "Since everyone has no objections, let's all disperse."
After everyone left, Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai talked for a long time about the map and the sand table. They didn't leave side by side until it was almost Shen time.
Xiao Yi said goodbye to Guan Yubai and went to the yard where Lin Jingchen stayed temporarily, the smile on his handsome face fading.
Next, he must tell the smelly girl that he is leaving!
Every time, this is an extremely difficult thing for Xiao Yi.
He is the heir to King Zhennan, and it is his duty to lead the soldiers on the battlefield to defend his southern territory. Neither he nor Nangong Yue had any doubts about this.
But precisely because Nangong Yue was so considerate every time, Xiao Yi felt even more guilty.
When he married his stinky girl, he originally wanted to bring the best things in the world to her, he wanted her to live a carefree life, and he hoped that she would always have a smile on her face. His favorite smile...
And as long as he sees his bright smile, he will feel that he has no regrets in this life!
However, ever since he married the stinky girl, they have been spending less time together and more time apart.
Two years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he spent most of the time away from home for various reasons, unable to stay with her properly...
But she never complained, never got angry, and always greeted him with a smile, accompanied by that crisp sound——
"Ayi!"
Nangong Yue, Han Qixia and Lin Jingchen were sitting at the stone table in the yard chatting, laughing and talking. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone entering the courtyard, and Nangong Yue looked over. She didn't expect that Xiao Yi would come back so early just after Shenshi.
She felt happy, curled her lips and smiled, her eyes curled up as she looked at Xiao Yi, but her heart tightened.
Let’s talk about it in private later...
No matter what, he will definitely stay with her during these five days!
He will end this war as soon as possible!
Xiao Yi said in his heart, put on a nonchalant smile, and quickened his pace towards Nangong Yue.
