Cowardly Stepmother Dressed As the Hero

Changling, outside the tent of King's Camp in Bei'an.

The letter eagle fluttered its wings, took a small piece of fresh meat thrown by Qi San, and then circled up and flew into the clear sky.

It is summer, and the sun hangs high above the sky.

Qi San's eyes followed the letter eagle, and soon the sun was burning.

He looked back, took a piece of cloth next to him, and wiped his hands stained with blood.

Immediately afterwards, he returned to the tent.

In the account, Qi You had read the news that was newly delivered, and said to Lei Li and Chen He: "...Luo Ke said that the king's account in the depths of the grassland is now in chaos. After the death of the eldest prince, other forces The man was busy dividing up his turf, and the Khan's two brothers, along with his four other sons, were plotting the heir.

"There will be no one to take over the city for the time being."

"That's great!" Lei Li slapped the table and said with great arrogance, "Your Highness, please send a letter to the imperial court, asking to send troops!

"Now there are only a few hundred people in Jurong City, let's kill them together and bring back Jurong City directly!"

Last autumn, Qi You took someone to Jirong City. He went into battle in person, with all his own soldiers.

For a long time, Lei Li had been brooding about the fact that he did not go with him.

It's not that Qi You doesn't want to take him, but that Qi You can't control him.

After all, Lei Li and Chen He were still soldiers of the imperial court, and their duty was to guard the border. On weekdays, they can follow Qi You's dispatch about guarding matters, but when it comes to leaving the border and taking the initiative to attack the outside world, they don't even have the right to decide.

In such a non-emergency situation, the dispatch of troops and generals needs to be approved and ordered by the imperial court before Lei Li and Chen He can move.

At this time, if Qi You wanted to take Lei Li to capture Jirong City, he had to write a letter first, and then he could act only after obtaining the approval from the above.

Qi You glanced at Lei Li, who was anxious, and asked, "Do you think the imperial court would agree to send troops?"

Lei Li didn't care so much, he waved his hand and said directly: "Hey! Blind people should know that now is the best time to attack!

"Unless the group in the courtroom are all idiots, how can they disagree?"

Qi You didn't respond, but Chen He couldn't help it.

He glared at Lei and said, "You think too simply. The imperial court still has to consider the consumption of food, grass and weapons, and whether the Rong tribe will lead people to counterattack after taking the city of Jurong."

Lei Li retorted: "Didn't Prince Fangcai say it? The Rong people themselves are in civil strife. Even if we regain all five cities, it is estimated that they will ignore us."

"It's not necessarily." Qi You said lightly.

He pointed to the map and analyzed: "Jurong City is the closest to Changling and the farthest from the grasslands. If we only take Jurong City, the Rong people will not care.

"Further north, the Anti-Rong City and Feng Rong City can also try to attack. I am confident that the Rong royal family will also put down their grievances and attack us because of this trivial matter.

"but……"

His fingers finally stopped at the two northernmost cities.

"Zhenrong City and Sirong City have already penetrated deep into the grasslands. Among them, Zhenrong City is even the fief of the uncle of the Khan today. As far as I can see, the Rong family will never give up these two places easily."

After listening, Chen He nodded in agreement: "Your Highness is right!"

He raised his head and looked at Qi You: "Actually... as long as we can find a way to solve the obstruction from the court, we can directly take back the three cities.

"It's just that it's been fifty years since the Five Cities fell, and I'm afraid... the above places don't care at all.

"According to the previous urine, those people above will only feel distressed about the loss of troops."

Thinking of the anger he had received before, Chen He couldn't help but say a foul language.

Lei Li gritted his teeth and slammed his fists on the table: "Could we just watch this opportunity pass by and wait for the Rong clan to relax?"

Qi You snorted coldly and said, "Of course not."

He didn't hide his plans anymore, and said directly: "If you don't submit a letter, this king will be able to take down Junrong.

"Jianrong City is now loosely guarded, and my people are hidden in it. With a thousand soldiers under my command, it is enough to take it down."

"That's right!" Lei Li reacted, his eyes lit up and said, "In this way, we don't have to write to the imperial court!"

"No!" Qi You said, "I still have to write a book."

"Ah?" Lei Li didn't react at all.

Qi You directly instructed Qi San who was waiting by the side: "Qi San, write a letter in my usual tone and send it to the capital.

"Let's just say that because of the aggressive provocation of the Rong people, we have already captured the city of Anti-Rong, captured 500 Rong soldiers, and some gold and silver. I ask the court to send troops, let me continue to lead the army, and go north to capture the city of Anti-Rong and Feng Rong. Form a solid line of defense to resist the southern invasion of the Rong tribe."

Qi San saluted without hesitation and replied, "Yes!"

Lei Li was already stunned, but Chen He frowned and thought. After a while, he said, "My lord, what do you mean..."

Qi You explained: "The imperial court will not send troops rashly without seeing the results. I must let the emperor know that we are really sure of winning, and he will let go.

"At that time, there will be a successful example of winning the city of Jirong first, and with my people operating in Beijing, the dispatch of troops will be guaranteed.

"It will take three or four months for the exchange of news here. This king will take advantage of this time to take down the Rong. After that, you can follow me to send troops and directly advance the sideline for dozens of miles north."

As a prince, Qi You has a limited number of personal soldiers under his control.

Because of the special nature of Liaozhou, he has expanded the number of personal soldiers to the limit of 2,000. Apart from Qi Liu and Zhang Sun Ling who had other tasks, there were about 1,200 personal soldiers he could lead out.

These people had no problem capturing the chaotic Jirong City, but after the fall of Jirong, it was a bit difficult to prepare the other two cities.

What's more, Qi You will definitely have to assign some of his staff to stay in Jirong City to defend.

If he wants to continue north, he must get more military support.

And after he finished speaking, Lei Li and Chen He also came to their senses.

In fact, Qi You's plan is obviously suspected of deceiving the king.

After all, at this time, he hadn't done anything against Jurong City at all, so how could he have already won Jurong?

Lei Li won't think so much, he has already cheered and started to flatter Qi You, and said repeatedly: "Your Highness is wise."

On the other hand, Chen He, who was more concerned, frowned, obviously still swaying.

But in the end, the idea of ​​recovering the five cities prevailed. He gritted his teeth and stopped thinking about Qi You's overstepping behavior in this operation. He nodded and said, "Your Highness is wise."

Qi You nodded.

He reminded: "You can go down and prepare, remember, it is not appropriate to make a sound at this time.

"Next, the king's personal soldiers will gradually withdraw from Fengping and Changling, and prepare for the expedition. You must arrange people to fill these loopholes."

This is the real purpose of bringing up the expedition with Lei Li and Chen He today - rushing to gather his own soldiers without saying hello to the two of them, which will definitely cause some confusion.

After listening to Lei Li and Chen He, they cupped their hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness!"

Qi You nodded and said, "Well, let's go first, I'll think about sending troops."

The two said "yes" and left the tent after bowing.

Lei Li couldn't contain his excitement at all.

He hated those Rong people very much. Although he couldn't follow Qi You to fight for the first time this time, three or four months later, as long as the news of the court came down, he would be able to go north!

Although Lei Li looks like a rough person on weekdays, he is very patient with this kind of thing. After all, he has waited for more than 20 years, and it is not less than three or four months.

For the next period of time, he excitedly stayed by Qi You's side, helping to improve the battle plan together.

On this day, Qi San handed over the memorial that had been polished several times to his subordinates, and instructed: "Let's go, be careful on the road!"

Several of his subordinates had already mounted their horses. Hearing that, they nodded to him, then rode their horses directly and left Changling.

Lei Li leaned over to Qi San and asked, "Huh? Has the memorial for sending troops been sent?"

Qi San saluted him and said, "Yes!"

"Hey!" Lei Li pinched his fingers and figured it out, "Okay! Good! In this case, in three months, I will be able to pull the soldiers out for a walk!"

Qi San nodded, smiled and congratulated: "The general will surely get what he wants!"

Lei Li was happy to hear it, he stretched out his hand and hugged him directly: "Let's go, the memorial has finally been sent out, have you been free these days?

"Come to my place for a drink tonight!"

Qi San waved his hand and said helplessly: "General, this is not possible, the lower official has other things to do."

"Huh?" Lei Li was a little surprised: "What? You just finished your work, right? Didn't the lord let you rest?"

Qi San explained: "Tomorrow I will take a bath, and I can rest for two days, but there is really something to do today. I'm afraid I won't be able to drink with General Lei tonight."

Lei Li nodded when he heard the words: "Alright, then you will come tomorrow night?"

Qi San nodded in response: "Yes, the next official will definitely attend the appointment when the time comes."

Lei Li was satisfied, touched the stubble on his chin and laughed.

He was about to leave first, but saw Qi San's eyes suddenly light up and he walked forward.

Lei Li followed his direction and looked outside the city gate, only to find that a convoy appeared at the end of the road.

He walked over directly and asked Qi San, "Are you waiting for that team?"

The next thing to do is not a secret. Hearing Lei Li's question, Qi San simply nodded and said, "Yes."

"What is that?" Lei Li asked again.

Qi San then explained: "It was the materials that the princess sent to reward the prince's personal soldiers."

Hearing this, Lei Li shouted in disbelief: "What? Is it the princess again?

"I remember at the beginning of last month, didn't the princess just send a batch to Changling? Why is it coming again now?"

He counted the time with his fingers, and then said sourly: "Dare the first batch of things arrive, the princess sent out the second batch?"

Qi San shook his head: "No.

"Isn't the cement road repaired to Huaitong now? It's much faster to deliver things between the two places. The princess should have prepared this batch of things to send after receiving the reply from the prince."

Lei Li scratched his head suspiciously: "Cement road? What is that?"
