Chapter 41: The Empress's Secret Order, Miss, I have an immature idea
"secret order?"
Looking at the secret order in Jinyiwei's hand.
Ning He frowned slightly and glanced at the tall personal soldier on the right.
This personal soldier.
It was Ning Yue, the deputy general of the Three Hundred Red Armors.
The main general is the woman on Ninghe's left.
Her name is Ning Yan.
Twenty years old.
His martial arts skills are comparable to Ning He's.
Similar to Ning He, all his military strategies and tactics came from Jiang Xuan's instruction.
He can be considered as half a disciple.
The only difference.
Ning Yan had followed Huo Qubing in the battles on the grasslands outside the Juman Pass in the past few years.
Participated in many battles.
Killed a lot of barbarians.
It also looks more stable.
There was a hint of evil in his eyes.
"General."
At Ning He's suggestion.
Ning Yue took the secret order from the Jinyiwei and presented it.
"Ok?"
Open the secret code and take a look.
Ning He hummed in surprise and raised his eyebrows.
The content of the secret order was very simple and only mentioned two things.
one.
Four days later, 80,000 soldiers will come from Linchuan, led by Linchuan garrison commander Zhou Yan.
Let her make her own arrangements.
At that time, Zhou Yan will serve as her deputy general.
Second.
It was stated that Prince Jin would rebel on the first day of the new year, and she was told to be careful of his attack.
Also, be careful, there is a small group of elite troops under the King of Jin heading west.
After seizing Yunzhou, they attacked from behind.
Of course.
The empress was not sure about this matter and just asked Ning He to be careful.
She has already let the Embroidered Uniform Guard take control of Weiwu Mansion, so it will be difficult for Prince Jin to accomplish anything.
But except for Weiwu Mansion.
Yunzhou, not far from Chongli Prefecture, is also a danger.
There is no guarantee that Prince Jin will choose Yunzhou to start his attack after knowing that Wuwei Prefecture is controlled by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
They formed a pincer attack from the front and back and broke through Chongli Prefecture.
Unfortunately.
The Empress is really short of manpower.
It is impossible to transfer more people to control Yunzhou, so Ning He can only be on guard.
And those 80,000 soldiers.
It is not just the garrison in Linchuan.
Instead, after discussing with Duke Wu, the empress ordered the Ministry of War to transfer elite troops from all over the country overnight.
Fortunately, from various prefectures to Chongli Prefecture.
There is a winding canal, and the soldiers selected are all from the south.
Familiar with water and not prone to seasickness.
Therefore, you can come here by water.
Otherwise, such a temporary troop deployment might not arrive before Prince Jin rebelled.
"Is there anything else?"
After reading the secret order in his hand.
Ning He raised his eyes and looked at the Jinyiwei under the tent.
The Jinyiwei shook his head upon hearing this and said respectfully, "Your Majesty did not mention anything else. Since the general has received the secret order, I will take my leave first."
Say it.
At Ning He's nod, the Jinyiwei retreated immediately.
Until I left the barracks.
He heaved a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead and murmured, "What kind of cultivation are those two soldiers beside General Ning? It's too scary!"
Being stared at by those two sharp eyes.
He felt like there was a thorn in his throat and was extremely nervous. After presenting the secret order, he wanted to leave immediately.
But he didn't dare to move without Ning He's nod.
Fortunately, the content of the secret order was not too long, and Ning He finished reading it in less than a cup of tea.
"Next time, just find someone else."
Looking back at the military camp, Luo Che was afraid as a tiger.
He just jumped on his horse and left.
Inside the account.
After the Jinyiwei left.
Ning He frowned, thinking about the contents of the secret order and those flawless slender jade fingers.
Tapping rhythmically on the table.
This habit.
She got it from the North. Jiang Xuan would do this unconsciously when he was thinking about something.
Over time, Ning He also developed this habit.
After a while.
Ning He then withdrew his thoughts.
He looked at Ning Yan on the left and asked, "Do you know anything about Linchuan's garrison commander Zhou Yan?"
"Zhou Yan?"
Ning Yan hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
He replied, "I do know a little bit about him. Zhou Yan is a talented general, brave and good at fighting, and a righteous man. He once served as a lieutenant under the old Duke and fought with him for many years. Later, he was transferred to Linchuan and served as the garrison commander of Linchuan."
"Father's old subordinate?"
Ning He raised his eyebrows again when he heard this.
He murmured in his heart, "It seems that His Majesty must have discussed this troop deployment with my father."
Now that you know this Zhou Yan.
He was a captain who once served under my father.
Ning He also breathed a sigh of relief.
If the person who comes is an arrogant and domineering person, he will secretly disobey her orders and not obey her.
Things are in trouble.
Now it seems.
But there is no need to worry about this problem.
Of course, even if Zhou Yan was not the captain under the old Duke.
No one would dare to commit suicide.
He secretly disobeyed her orders.
After all, everyone knows that she is the daughter of Duke Wu and a close friend of the current emperor.
With such an identity, if you still don’t want to die.
Who dares to provoke?
"Pass the order down." Ning He collected his thoughts and looked at Ning Yue on the side and ordered, "Tell the craftsmen in the city to speed up the process and make arrows and city defense equipment overnight."
"Here."
Ning Yue received the order and left.
Ning He continued, "Yan'er, do you think that with the 80,000 defenders in Chongli Prefecture, plus the 80,000 soldiers who will be transferred soon, it is possible to stop the offensive of Prince Jin?"
Hold on for a while.
Ning He is confident enough.
But if there is no reinforcement, she can't say how long she can hold out.
after all.
The food and weapons in the city are limited.
Once it's exhausted.
Chongli Prefecture will fall without a fight.
As for whether she could hold out until the food and grass of Prince Jin's army were exhausted, that was impossible.
The King of Jin has been preparing for this day for many years.
How can I not be prepared?
It is not advisable to fight a protracted war with the King of Jin.
Of course, if the treasury of the Dawu Dynasty was still full, the King of Jin could plan for hundreds of years.
It is impossible to outlast the imperial court.
But the problem was that the treasury of the Dawu Dynasty was empty.
"It's hard."
Ning Yan frowned when she heard that.
He shook his head and said, "This Prince Jin is not simple, he has a very deep strategy, even compared to the old Duke, he is not much inferior. Over the years, the only one who can suppress Prince Jin is the prince."
"Even Chongli Prefecture is easy to defend but difficult to attack."
"Even with 160,000 soldiers, it is difficult to hold off the attack of King Jin. It is just a matter of time."
I heard Ning Yan mention Jiang Xuan.
A trace of longing flashed in Ning He's eyes.
She murmured, "I don't know what the prince has been doing these days."
The murmur fell.
Ning He seemed to have thought of something, and a trace of sadness appeared on her pretty face.
He sighed and said, "Yan'er, do you think the prince will rebel?"
"This"
Ning Yan was asked this question.
After a moment of hesitation, he chose to remain silent and did not speak.
She is not Ning He.
It has nothing to do with the Empress.
Her life was saved by the prince, so she had to do whatever the prince asked her to do.
She does whatever she wants.
Even if one day the prince asked her to commit suicide.
She would also kill herself with a sword without hesitation.
"That's all."
Ning He thought about this.
It gives me a headache. I don’t know what choice I should make if such a day really comes.
Seeing Ning He's pretty face full of worry.
Ning Yan suddenly thought of something and her eyes lit up.
Lean forward.
He whispered in Ning He's ear: "Miss, I have an immature idea."
I have an immature idea.
