After a fierce fight, it was Zhou Meiniang who took the initiative to provoke the fight and kept begging for mercy.
"Your Majesty, the slave family is wrong. The slave family will never follow you again. The slave family will help you call Sister Shen Yue over!"
Qin Yun said with a straight face: "You little girl, do you know that the human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant?"
Zhou Meiniang spat out her sweet tongue: "Your Majesty, the main reason is that you are too..."
Qin Yun said for a moment that he would strengthen his foundation in winter, but Qin Yun felt that his ability in that area was indeed stronger. Of course, it is also possible that Tiejiacun's external skills were able to break through after being injured last time.
Qin Yun smiled: "Okay, I won't embarrass you! I'll talk to you about the business!"
Zhou Meiniang's legs trembled: "Your Majesty, what is a good thing?"
Qin Yun said seriously: "You said before that your Zhou family had spies buried in Fusang. Is this true?"
"Going back to your lord, there is something like this. He is a cousin of my Zhou family. His ancestor is Cao Shangfei, a famous grand master in the world." Zhou Meiniang replied truthfully.
"Flying on grass?"
This name Qin Yun seems to have been seen in the records of Dali Temple. Rumor has it that this man was so good at lightness that he could cross the Luochuan River with just a bundle of straw.
He was close friends with Li Fei, the successor of the thieves at that time, and he liked to steal the bellybands of women from wealthy families to show off his strength.
Later, Emperor Wu cut down the mountains and destroyed the temple, and the flying grass disappeared.
"How come your family is related to Cao Shangfei?"
Zhou Meiniang tilted her head and muttered a little: "Cao Shangfei lost a bet to one of my aunts, and has always been the protector of the Zhou family."
"Later, the Zhou family was walking on thin ice in Nanyang. It was that senior who brought most of the Zhou family to the Central Plains. But later, it was said that senior Cao Shangfei died in Fusang after a fierce fight."
"He left behind a son and a daughter. The daughter married the third son of the Hattori family, and the son also stayed in the Hattori family and became a retainer. However, they have been trying to return to the Central Plains."
"A few years ago, my descendants came to my Zhou family and decided to help me recover the country. It's a pity that my uncle and uncles died in that shipwreck..."
Qin Yun patted Zhou Meiniang's smooth and jade-like back and comforted her.
"Okay, it's all over. I promised Zhou Qianyu that he would have the opportunity to seek justice for your Zhou family in the future!"
Zhou Meiniang wiped away her tears: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Qin Yun smiled: "You and I are a family, so there is no need to thank you. By the way, I wonder if I can still contact the descendants of senior Cao Shangfei?"
Zhou Meiniang nodded slightly: "Yes, you just need to send someone to give him the Zhou family's token, and then you can contact him!"
Qin Yundao: "This time, don't bother, I will send someone there! You have done a good job in establishing the primary school and welfare work in Qiongzhou."
"Now that Daqin is newly established, I am going to appoint you as the president of the Women and Children Relief Society of the Qinyue Alliance. It mainly takes in orphans displaced by the war and helps poor women. Can you handle this?"
Zhou Meiniang's eyes were firm: "Your Majesty, I can!"
Qin Yun stroked Zhou Meiniang's smooth hair: "That's good!"
Zhou Meiniang bumped into something as soon as she raised her head, and her pretty face turned red: "Your Majesty, how about I help you in other ways..."
Qin Yun glanced at Zhou Meiniang's flaming red lips, but his heart moved.
However, before he could speak, the voice of urgent military information came from outside the palace.
"Report, the Wu army has arrived outside the Beiyin Fortress. The enemy attacked for three hours. We lost three bunkers and killed more than 200 people. We repelled the enemy's attack. His Royal Highness, the King of Yue, asked the prince to return to the Beiyin Fortress as soon as possible. "
Qin Yun immediately stood up and said to Zhou Meiniang with a smile: "Just give the token to Zuo Sisiang. As for what you mentioned, let's talk about it another day!"
Zhou Meiniang nodded slightly.
…
In Beiyin Fortress, Qin Yun walked into the war room with excitement.
At this time, all the generals, the generals of Qin and Yue, looked solemn.
As soon as Qin Yun arrived, Bai Zhanpeng was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, the enemy's attack is fierce this time. I'm afraid he is testing our strength."
Qin Yun glanced at the battle situation sand table: "How many troops does the opponent currently have?"
"Go back to your lord, counting the 200,000 troops that confronted us before, there are another 300,000 troops in the direction of Wu State. According to reports from our spies, Wu State is planning to use explosives to open a gap here in the direction of Eagle Mountain. .”
"And here, Longxukou, these two places are relatively weak places in Beiyin Mountain."
"But the two places are one hundred and twenty miles apart. If our army is divided into three, it may be difficult to stop the enemy's attack!"
Qin Yun nodded. The combined troops of Qin and Yue only had more than 100,000 troops.
In Qin Yun's conception, Qiongzhou's soldiers and horses are the best of the best and must not be lost in this war of attrition.
Their most important goal at the moment is to break up into groups and insert themselves into the Vietnamese army.
Change the old-fashioned military system into a three-level command system of divisions, regiments and battalions for more effective command.
But military reform is a complicated matter, especially involving the two countries. According to Qin Yun's idea, it took at least a month to prepare, but now the enemy seems to have got some news and is attacking with lightning speed.
Don't give him any chance to react at all. Qin Yun drew a line around Beiyin Fortress, Eagle Mountain, and Longxukou.
He mused: "The enemy's strategic intention is very simple. They hope to use their superior strength to pull us back and forth for reinforcements, thereby wearing down our troops!"
"Yes, especially when the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, our army's support speed is definitely not enough. We don't know in which direction the opponent will attack, so we can't deploy troops to defend in advance."
"But once our troops are dispersed, our army's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced in an instant, unless there is sufficient ammunition to support it!"
Qin Yun's expression condensed. Although Lu Ban had already led people to work overtime to expand the arsenal, it would take time after all.
Qin Yun suddenly said: "How many war horses do our army still have?"
Yue Qing said: "It's less than ten thousand. If the horses transporting supplies are called bullock carts, we can replace five thousand."
Qin Yun's eyes narrowed: "Fifteen thousand, that's enough!"
"Pass my order, the Qiongzhou 1st Division, plus the newly formed 1st and 2nd Battalions, with a total of 12,000 men, must immediately assemble in the direction of Eagle Mountain."
"Bai Zhanpeng, you will assume the unified command of the commander. I will give you three days to train. After three days, you will take the initiative to attack Haoshan City from Eagle Mountain."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. Faced with the encirclement and suppression of the opponent's army of 500,000, they did not retreat to defend but actually took the initiative to attack. Isn't this seeking death?
Bai Zhanpeng was about to open his mouth, but Qin Yun said coldly: "This is an order!"
"promise!"
Yue Qing was also extremely puzzled.
Qin Yun waved his hand to signal that all the troops would retreat, leaving only Bai Zhanpeng and Yue Qing.
Yue Qing then said: "Your Majesty, would it be too rash for me to do this?"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Offense is the best defense, but we will not attack Jiu Shan City!"
As soon as these words came out, the two of them were stunned. Bai Zhanpeng said: "What about the order that the prince gave just now?"
Qin Yun: "Do you still remember that I said that there are traitors in our army? Tingyulou is the best organization in the world at collecting intelligence, and our every move must have been exposed under the eyes of the other party."
"If we expand the arsenal, how can the other side wait for us to complete it? The most effective way now is to send a cavalry out, penetrate behind the enemy's rear, and open up the situation. If Lan Tian is here, I will leave this matter to him, but General Bai, your previous plans in Beiyin City made my eyes shine. I hope that you can take the initiative and contain some of the enemies."
"Let Yue have enough time to carry out war mobilization!"
Bai Zhanpeng said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will never betray Your Majesty's trust! But Your Majesty, where should we fight?"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "The plank road was built openly and secretly to Chencang, the Qiongzhou First Division was transferred to Longxukou, and the Qiongzhou Second Division climbed to the top of Eagle Mountain."
"As for the Yue army, they still stay in Beiyin Fortress. After all, the defense of Yue is more familiar here, and it will also be the main battlefield in the future."
Yue Qing nodded. Then she spoke again: "As for the traitors, I have sent people to investigate, and we did find some suspicious people!"
Qin Yun: "After passing through customs and being quarantined and reviewed, the vacant positions will be filled by people from Qiongzhou. Don't worry, I'm not trying to take away your power!"
Yue Qing smiled and said: "The entire Yue Kingdom is now in your hands, the prince. The people of the Yue Kingdom are the prince's subjects. How can I worry!"
Bai Zhanpeng bowed his hands and stepped back knowingly.
Qin Yun said: "If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for? Don't worry, I will give you a big territory in return!"
Yue Qing: "Your Majesty, I'm worried about something!"
"whats the matter?"
Yue Qing's charming eyes were as silk as silk: "I'm worried that my Yue country will have no successors!"
Qin Yun smiled: "You little girl!"
With that said, he picked up Yue Qing and walked towards the top of the mountain of the palace.
