I smiled and said, "If you think about it carefully, I don't think it's feasible. Our grasp of the enemy forces in Beijing is far less than what they do on the battlefield. If we make random ideas, it is very likely that the soldiers will be in danger. , deploy reinforcements, and slowly map it."

Jingyan nodded slowly.

I feel that since I found out about my background, I can no longer be regarded as a qualified princess. All day long, he was either thinking about the best route to go far, or thinking about the auspicious day of flying high. The reason why he is willing to discuss politics with Jingyan is also based on the mentality of seeing him less than once. If compared to the past, the safety of the family and the country is always better than that of a small family and a small family, how can there be so many considerations.

But I always used to underestimate the emperor's younger brother.

The next day I just woke up when I was summoned to the palace by Jingyan. As soon as I stepped into the imperial study, I saw a familiar shadow sitting on the side seat. The man saw me coming, got up and saluted, "your Highness."

I opened my mouth for a while, "Big brother? Why are you here?"

Jing Yan smiled and said, "Sister Huang, why are you different when you meet my eldest brother? If it wasn't for the guards who went to the emperor's mausoleum yesterday and saw the elder sister chatting with a strange man, I'm afraid I'm still in the dark at the moment. where?"

I helped my forehead, and sure enough, after becoming the emperor, can you even be so blatant in monitoring this kind of thing?

Jing Lan hurriedly said: "This matter has nothing to do with the princess. It's the rude people who don't want to speak up. I hope Your Majesty will not take offense."

Jing Yan patted him on the shoulder, "You are my eldest brother. When I was a child, Huang sister and I were all run around with us. We are all a family. separated?"

Jing Lan smiled slightly, "Your Majesty said yes."

Instead of going to join their brothers, I silently picked a seat and sat down, took a bite of a piece of osmanthus cake, and asked, "My brother called my sister early in the morning, what happened?"

"That's right." Jing Yan turned back to the table, pointed at the map and said, "Just now I briefly described the recent battle situation with my eldest brother, and asked the eldest brother to make suggestions for me. The eldest brother just took a look and came up with a wonderful plan. If the main army can lure the enemy into the canyon of the Shili River, and then attack from the front and the rear, it may be able to defeat the enemy in the shortest time."

I almost choked on the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in my mouth.

Jing Lan said: "The rough people's humble opinion is just talk on paper, and the specific strategy should be adapted to local conditions. We can think of this plan, but I'm afraid the enemy generals may not be aware of it."

Jing Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "No, Big Brother's strategy is worth a try in my opinion, even if Nie Guang is scheming, if they don't come out in full force, they will not be able to compete with our army, and our main army is losing ground. , how could they let it go? Even if they were aware of it, they did not chase down the bandits and returned to their territory. As far as our army is concerned, it is not necessarily a loss. In this battle, you can also follow up with victory.”

Before I could say anything else, Jing Yan said: "Sister Huang has her concubine's heart in her heart, and I can understand it, but before the war is over, it is the common people of Li who suffer. I believe that the concubine also has this heart, so I can live up to my father's request that day. An important task. Don't worry, my concubine will be able to win this battle for me safely."

When I was stunned for a second, Cheng Gonggong, who was in front of the door, was already waiting outside, and Jing Yan signaled us to retire first, and discuss other matters later. The younger brother was tough and had to walk away.

Big brother is big brother, even if you have been away from home for many years, you can tell a lot of insights when you look back and glance at him. I suddenly understood the mentality of the royal father who drove him away with fear and sincerity. If such a resourceful eldest brother one day knew how his own mother died, the ten banquets combined would not be his opponent.

When Jing Lan saw me looking at him strangely, he smiled somewhat unnaturally, "Is there something on my face?"

I said, "No, I just feel like there is light behind my eldest brother."

he:"……"

The so-called crow-like sixth sense is that whenever I have a hunch that something good will happen, nothing good will happen; on the contrary, whenever I have an ominous hunch, something ominous will definitely happen.

Worse than expected, the communication between Zezhou and the imperial court was completely cut off, and the news disappeared like a kite with a broken string.

This shows that either the messengers of the three armies were intercepted and killed halfway, or the area around Zezhou was occupied, the river was cut off, and even the post station was blocked.

When Jing Yan told me the news, I was almost unsteady, he hurriedly stepped forward to help me sit down, and said, "What happened in Zezhou can't be concluded, please don't be impatient, I have ordered the military to fly. The book is adjacent to the counties, and will be able to deliver the news to Beijing as soon as possible."

I tried to take a sip of water to calm myself down, but my hands trembled while holding the cup, and instead I burned myself. Jing Yan was shocked, and was waiting for the maid to come forward to serve and compromise, I raised my hand and said, "Your Majesty. It is important to deal with state affairs, I will go back to the Princess Palace to wait for news from Your Majesty."

Without waiting for Jingyan to say more, I have bowed and stepped back. He should know that I have complaints against him. If he hadn't rashly ordered the army to meet the enemy, it would not have been possible to put Zezhou in danger in just a few days. I'm afraid, I'm the only one left in this world, Song Langsheng. If something happens to him, what should I do?

When I was at a loss, I thought of Mingjian Division. My father once said that Mingjian Division's businessmen and customers are all over the world, and the news network is very wide. Maybe they can find out the news that the court can't hear.

Sure enough, Tao Yuan sent a secret report within a day after receiving my order.

Song Langsheng was ordered by the emperor to lead a large army to raid the enemy. When the enemy's back-road army came one after another, our army retreated to the Shili River Gorge, but there was not a single soldier in Tongguan. Since then, he has been hiding his own strength. In addition to the 400,000 main army, another 100,000 soldiers have been reserved as a rearguard. Just when the 150,000 Tongguan army was willing to rescue their nests, the enemy soldiers had already taken the lead outside Tongguan. Although 100,000 soldiers and horses are not enough to attack the city, if the Tongguan army confronts the enemy head-on, it will greatly damage the strength of the army. The strength of the remaining soldiers will not be able to rescue the main army.

In other words, Song Langsheng and his army were trapped in the canyon by the Nie family's army at the moment. If they wanted to break through, they had to wait for the reinforcements to arrive and attack together, but the Tongguan army could not send troops at all. Compete with Nie Jiajun.

I was dazed for a while while clutching the secret report, and in a fit of rage, I went back to the palace to find Jingyan again.

The You Time has passed, and I didn't care about Eunuch Cheng's obstruction, so I just broke into the imperial study. When I entered the door, I found that Jing Lan was also present, her brows were furrowed, and she seemed to be discussing something important with Jing Yan. When Jing Yan saw me, she was obviously a little unnatural, and subconsciously covered the rice paper on the table, as if she was afraid of being caught. When I saw something, I smiled, "It's so late, why is Huang Si here?"

I said, "Why did the elder sister come, the younger brother knows best in his heart, isn't it?"

Jing Yan was stunned for a moment, "What should I say, Huang Jie?"

I sneered, opened the rice paper on the imperial case, and pointed to the brightly colored report: "Zezhou has never fallen! The station has not been blocked! It's not that the imperial court did not receive the battle report! It's that Your Majesty doesn't want to let I know how to fight!"

Jing Yan was shocked, "How did you know..."

I asked, "Your Majesty doesn't need to ask me how I learned about it. Your Majesty just needs to tell me that now that General Song and the army have fallen into the canyon, what is your Majesty's best plan to save the army?!"

He froze for a moment, "The court's reinforcements are on their way..."

"It will take eight days at the earliest!" I interrupted after his words: "I dare to ask Your Majesty, how can the army survive for eight days? There is no need for Nie Guang to send troops, as long as they block the way out of the canyon, our army will We died without a fight because of lack of food and water! Even if we have survived those eight days and waited for the imperial reinforcements to arrive, how could we have the strength to attack the Nie family's army together with the reinforcements?"

Jing Yan's face turned pale, "Then what should I do according to what the emperor saw?"

I said solemnly: "There are 150,000 troops in the city of Tongguan, and the Shuoyang counties closest to Tongguan can gather 50,000 troops and horses, first let the 130,000 troops break through the siege to rescue the canyon army, Tongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, two Wanjun and horses can defend the city for two days, and when Shuoyang troops and horses arrive at Tongguan, the city can be protected, and the army can hope to be rescued."

Jingyan shook his head and said, "Nie Guang has heard that there are only 20,000 defenders left in Tongguan, and he will definitely send more troops to attack the city. Once the city falls, the enemy army will lead the army all the way to the north, and then the disaster will be even more. of……"

I felt blood rushed from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, "Your Majesty is worried about endangering Your Majesty himself!"

Jing Yan stood up and said angrily, "You are presumptuous!"

I exclaimed: "I've always been so presumptuous, does Your Majesty know this now?"

The following crime has reached this point. It can be said that my reason has already flown out of the sky. When Jing Lan saw Jing Yan, his face was blue with anger, and he knelt down to dissuade him and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Word……"

"Whoever chooses what to say, what I say is from the bottom of my heart!" I turned my eyes to Jing Lan, "Big brother, you don't need to say more! If it wasn't for your advice to the emperor, would the concubine be in danger today? !"

I have never spoken to my eldest brother in such a tone, and my eldest brother was stunned when he heard the words. Jing Yan pointed at me with trembling fingers: "Sister Huang...you know what you said!"

I tilted my head slightly and looked at Jingyan quietly, "I only know that if the concubine dies in this battle, I will not live alone. Since the emperor is unwilling to risk sending troops, I have no choice but to go to the battlefield and collect his body for him. To be buried with him again!"

"you dare!"

Of course I dare.

So I stopped giving them a chance to speak after I finished speaking, and decided to leave. Jing Yan understands my personality, he knows that I will do what I say and do what I will do, and he is afraid that I will do something stupid, so he quickly ran out of the door and grabbed me: "I think more urgently than the emperor. To save the army, I can't take Wanmin's life as a bet..."

I shook off him and took a few steps. He didn't dare to provoke me, so he just followed me. I turned around and said, "Of course I understand your majesty's intention."

Jing Yan was stunned. The moment before, I had a gesture of breaking with him. The next moment, I suddenly said this. He was completely confused by the speed of my face change: "Understand?"

I whispered in his ear: "I fell out with Your Majesty for the sake of the concubine, and vowed to live and die with the concubine. This rumor will soon spread... Naturally, no one will doubt the real purpose of my going to the battlefield. Why..."

He looked at me in surprise, and I whispered: "If Song Langsheng can't survive this festival this time, our army will lose two generals and nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses, which will be a major blow to the court, even if If the reinforcements come to Zezhou, they may not be able to stop the enemy. If they don't turn the tide, they will attack the north all the way... Rest assured, Your Majesty, I have a special status. Even if Nie Guang wants to move me, Nie Ran will never be willing It is best to be captured by them, so I will risk my life to take out the cancer of the past in His Majesty's heart..."

Jingyan seemed to understand what I wanted to say next, "Sister Huang..."

I said, "At that time, it was because of my own selfishness that Nie Ran had such consequences. Although I don't have much confidence today, I can't do nothing and let this treasonous traitor destroy and trample my Daqing territory... "

Jing Yan's eyes were full of pain, he held my sleeve tightly, and said with a trembling: "Daqing Jiangshan can be guarded together, but you are the only sister..."
