Xu Yuan was almost numb when a high-level cultivator was playing tricks on living people beside him.
But can this be played in a confined space like a carriage?
Get in through the car window?
Xu Yuan silently glanced at the rich and generous mind of the beautiful aunt beside him.
Looking at the size, if you enter through this small window, you should be stuck.
Well, everything is not absolute.
After all, it's not a hard object.
There was silence in the carriage for a moment,
Li Qingyan seemed to be able to see Lou Ji's movements clearly, there was not much surprise in his eyes, and his voice was rustling:
"This matter can actually allow Mr. Lou to take time out of his busy schedule to come here?"
There is no smell of gunpowder, it is very bland.
"Ah"
Lou Ji looked at Li Qingyan up and down with a slightly scrutinizing gaze, and let out a chuckle with her plump red lips:
"Your Highness is joking. I came here just to see my parents."
"."Xu Yuan.
"Look at him?" Li Qingyan glanced at Xu Yuan with a flat gaze.
Lou Ji nodded and said in a faint voice:
"Since Changtian was forced to leave the capital because of that ridiculous thing, I, the sister, haven't seen him for two years."
Saying,
Lou Ji grabbed Xu Yuan's chin with one hand, forced his head off, rubbed the dog's head angrily, and said with a smile:
"Keke~ We haven't seen each other for so long, our parents have become handsome again~"
After a while, Xu Yuan struggled to break free from the old aunt's hand:
"That's enough, are you bothered?!"
"."
Lou Ji was stunned for a moment, then said aggrievedly:
"Changtian, you are cruel to me"
"." Xu Yuan rolled his eyes.
Li Qingyan sat quietly across from him and watched the two siblings playing around. There was no sullenness in his heroic eyes, but a hint of amusement flashed across his eyes as he stared at Lou Ji opposite.
It's like looking at a childish fool.
Lou Ji looked back and met their gazes, a hint of boredom flashed in her eyes, she let go of her hand, and sighed helplessly:
"Changtian, you are really useless."
"."
Xu Yuan snorted and said nothing, thinking that the old aunt next to him would not be a monster anymore.
After all, Li Qingyan is not a big Bingtuozi.
From her identity, to her position, to her engagement, it was completely different. This old aunt had no reason to act like a monster.
Moreover, as a political marriage, after being together in a carriage for a month, it is easy for a man and a woman to fall in love with each other in the same room. If there is no love, it is most likely because one or both parties are not good-looking.
But something strange happened.
A month ago they treated each other like guests, and a month ago Xu Yuan and Li Qingyan were still treating each other like guests.
Xu Yuan's methods were ineffective against Li Qingyan.
As someone who has led soldiers in the army since childhood, Li Qingyan knows how to win people's hearts.
Just like the military training in the previous life, the old NBA master.
When you see the move, you will find your opponent.
The end result is to stand still.
Auntie Lou Ji is a person who enjoys herself. Without the fun of cultivating fire, she will naturally stop cultivating fire.
After a slight silence, Lou Ji returned to the topic and brought the topic back to the war:
"Your Highness, is that old guy Jiang He still in good condition after someone brought it to you?"
Li Qingyan narrowed his eyes and returned to seriousness, and said quietly:
“Intact.
"Director Lou, it has been more than three months since I left the Northern Territory. What is the current situation in the Northern Territory?"
The battlefield situation is changing rapidly. March is not a long time, but it is enough to bring about earth-shaking changes.
Hearing this question, Lou Ji's eyes immediately flashed with a hint of gloom.
As the leader of the Black Scale Guards, she has collected almost all the information since she secretly arrived in the North, and all the information leads to one answer.
"The current war situation is stable. Wu Chenghou, his old man, and Zong Qingsheng have built several large camps near Dali Mountain to defend each other. But if the snow continues for another two months, the offensive and defensive relationship between us and the barbarians will be The situation will change.”
Li Qingyan understood the reason almost instantly:
"Because the logistics supplies can't keep up?"
A hint of helplessness flashed in Lou Ji's green eyes:
"Nowadays, a large amount of ordnance and food are piled up in Guangyang Fucheng because the road is blocked by heavy snow and cannot go north. The troops on the Dali Mountain and Dingman River lines can rely on Xumijie to transport supplies, which is stable, but now the inventory in Beifeng City has been It’s almost bottoming out.”
Although a huge amount of supplies are transported into Beifeng City, the most important pass town in the northern border, every day, this is still nothing compared to the daily consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line.
When Wu Yuan heard this, his eyebrows furrowed slightly and his heart sank.
The thing she was most worried about before leaving the North finally happened.
Guangyang Fucheng, the transportation hub of the three northern continents, is located at the junction of this blizzard in the northern border.
In order to prepare for this war of annihilation against the barbarians, her father had secretly prepared a large amount of supplies, but due to the sudden blizzard and natural disaster, most of them could not be transported to the front line.
In the silence of the carriage,
Xu Yuan suddenly said out loud:
"The lack of transportation capacity during the war should be due to the fact that relief to the victims consumed too many military vehicles from the imperial court."
"Are you crazy?"
When Li Qingyan heard this, he immediately raised his eyes and looked at the man opposite him with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
She couldn't understand that someone who was worried about the soldiers just now would say such cold-blooded words in the blink of an eye.
Lou Ji didn't say anything, but looked sideways at Xu Yuan's face with interest.
Xu Yuan glanced at the two of them and said in a deep voice:
"Wu Yuan, you also saw along the way that low-level carriages did not dare to go north without the protection of formation patterns. Along the way, we saw that most of the military carriages were diverted to various parts of the three continents for disaster relief. If this continues, Your Majesty, There is a chance that the military vehicles used to provide relief to the victims of the three continents in the northern border will be dispatched to forcibly supply Beifeng City."
The people are the most important thing, the country is the second most important thing, and the king is the most important thing.
This is a very nice thing to say.
In the ancient feudal dynasties of previous lives, few monarchs could do this, let alone this extraordinary feudal dynasty today.
The madness at the end of life, the morbid persistence of a lifelong obsession, this kind of thing is definitely possible for the current emperor.
Li Qingyan became quieter and did not express his position on this. He looked at Lou Ji and asked:
"Uncle Mu and the others are like this, but what about the sects in the north? Where are their troops?"
Lou Ji glanced at Xu Yuan with a smile, and slowly leaned against the soft couch behind her:
"These sects are all on the second line."
"Second line?" Li Qingyan frowned.
Lou Ji lowered her eyes and played with the Xumi Ring on her fingertips: "Their nearly 300,000 elites are all huddled near Houting County, listening to the announcement but not obeying the instructions."
"Houting County?" Xu Yuan murmured.
Li Qingyan explained softly while thinking:
"Uncle Mu built a military fortress thirty years ago. It fell before. After being recaptured, it has been used as a transit point for logistics."
Xu Yuan shook his head and said:
"I mean they have so many troops all huddled together, can the logistics keep up?"
"It's not too far into the north. It's only three hundred miles away from Beifeng City. You can use the official road to supply supplies."
"." Xu Yuan fell silent.
Dali Mountain and Dingman River are already nearly 1,300 miles away from Beifeng City.
Three hundred miles.
How can this be the second line? These sects are huddled directly in front of their homes.
Those high-ranking military officials might go out in the morning and have a meal in the northern part of the city in the evening.
rotten.
That sucks.
Lou Ji crossed her legs, looked at Li Qingyan and said meaningfully:
"It is true that we can use official channels to supply supplies. My spies report that they still have plenty of inventory in Beifeng City."
If they disobey the order, the imperial court will naturally cut off the sect's military supply of food and grass. But the problem is that these sects have been operating in the north for thousands of years, and their material inventories have already accumulated like mountains, which is not a problem at all.
In other words, if they were attacked, the North would have enough supplies to maintain the war.
Looking at Lou Ji, Li Qingyan gently shook his head:
"The current situation cannot touch these moth-like things. If they do, big changes may occur."
Lou Ji spread her hands:
"I didn't say I was going to touch them, I was just giving His Highness a warning."
While talking, Lou Ji took out several sealed tubes of paper from the Sumeru Ring:
"This is the information I have summarized about the war situation in the north. Princess, you can take a look at it when you have time."
Li Qingyan reached out to take it, put in the Sumeru Ring, and cupped his hands:
"Wu Yuan, thank you, Chief Lou."
"Okay, if one family doesn't talk to each other, my black scale guards will be responsible for escorting these goods to the front line."
Lou Ji smiled slightly, then looked at Xu Yuan and said, "But since the princess thanks me, can you lend me Changtian for a day?"
Hearing this, Li Qingyan glanced at Xu Yuan opposite him, pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled:
"Of course you can. Mr. Lou can use me as his consort as he pleases."
"Princess Kekeke is so generous~Sister, I won't use Changtian badly~"
After a burst of sweet laughter, Lou Ji took Xu Yuan and flew out of the carriage.
By the time Xu Yuan came to his senses, he had already arrived in a boudoir.
The room was filled with the scent of poisonous roses.
The dark green bed tent was in a mess, with some miscellaneous bottles and cans placed on it, which should be potions for preparation.
On the desk on the other side, there are piles of various documents, but they are classified very neatly and clearly compared to the mess on the bed.
This old aunt has always been very clear about things and distinguishes between public and private affairs.
Xu Yuan withdrew his gaze and finally landed on Lou Ji sitting by the bed:
"Sister, why did you call me here?"
"Changtian, give it to me."
"?" Xu Yuan.
Lou Ji narrowed her beautiful eyes:
"Don't pretend to be confused. Xu Changge has already given you the Tianxun Crystal. Don't think that I don't know."
Xu Yuan's eyes twitched, he walked to the bed and sat down with a smile, and said:
"Sister, my father said this is for Wu Yuan. It's not like you don't have a communication crystal when you stay in Beifeng City."
Lou Ji winked and took Xu Yuan's arm:
"I'm just borrowing it for two days. Changtian, don't be so stingy~"
Xu Yuan rolled his eyes.
If you borrow it, you will most likely be beaten by a meat bun.
After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan took out a black box from the Sumeru Ring.
When Lou Ji saw this scene, her eyes suddenly lit up for a moment:
"This is."
"Sumiru."
Xu Yuan slowly opened the black box, and thirty-eight Sumeru Rings were neatly placed inside.
The Sumeru Ring cannot be put directly into the Sumeru Ring, but it can be placed by insulating it with a precious special material such as a black box.
Xu Yuan slowly handed the black box to Lou Ji and said:
"There is a lot of space in these Sumeru Rings. They have been filled with supplies in the Imperial Capital. If they are transported to the front line, my father said that they should be enough for Mr. Zong to consume for two months, so I asked my sister to send them there."
The sects of 20,000 years ago were all wealthy, and the content of suspended stones in each Sumeru ring was extremely high. Even after wear and tear, it was still not comparable to the current Sumeru ring.
Lou Ji's eyes flashed, she nodded, put away the Sumeru Ring, and then said:
"Okay, sister will be in charge of Changtian, let's continue talking about the perfect sky."
Before the words fell,
Lou Ji suddenly fell silent and looked towards the south of the city with a hint of disbelief in her eyes.
During the negotiation with Lou Ji, several carriages escorting the "Yun Qi Bomb" had been bought by the Black Scale Guards.
After Xu Yuan and Lou Ji disappeared, Li Qingyan sat alone in the carriage and browsed the Black Scale Guard's intelligence summary on the war.
Very detailed.
There are some text descriptions and a few maps.
Carefully recorded everything that happened in the north in the past three months.
In short, because of the blizzard falling from the sky, Dayan had to unite his troops to defend one place, and the barbarians wanted to consume Dayan's military power as much as possible in the process.
This sudden blizzard can be said to have directly taken advantage of the right time and place for the barbarians who have lived in the bitter cold land all year round, making them like a fish in water.
Even though Dayan has a strong military, it can only choose to join forces and defend under such a natural disaster.
In the early days of snowfall, her Yulin army suffered heavy losses due to this.
Dividing the troops means they will be defeated one by one.
Around this point, Wu Chenghou and Zong Qingsheng fought with the barbarian king for more than a month.
Three large-scale encounters took place, and both sides suffered heavy losses. However, Dayan achieved the strategic goal of uniting forces in one place.
Since Marquis Wu Cheng and Zong Qingsheng reduced their forces, the barbarian army has been wandering around without attacking.
After reading the description carefully, Li Qingyan spread out a map on the tea table.
The military garrison layout of the Dayan Dynasty and the transportation and supply routes can be clearly seen on the map. The Black Scale Army, the Beifeng Army, and even the defenses of various armies from the sect.
Next to each station are small words such as the scale of casualties and the status of grain, grass and ordnance reserves.
In addition, several scouted barbarian strongholds were also marked.
Looking at the map, Li Qingyan's eyes gradually narrowed as time passed.
Since the barbarians launched a large-scale attack on Zong Qingsheng's camp more than a month ago to no avail, they have only carried out small-scale harassment.
She has seen blizzards deep in the north.
The snow is so deep that it can almost bury people, and ordinary seventh-level soldiers cannot see anything from more than five feet away.
"The art of tiring soldiers?"
Li Qingyan realized what the barbarian king who unified the northern territory wanted to do.
High-ranking generals do not need to rest, but soldiers do not.
After an expedition of thousands of miles, they were isolated in the north and harassed day and night. Due to the long-term fatigue of the troops, it was easy to be broken by a sudden attack.
Thinking of this, Li Qingyan frowned and gently traced the map with his slender fingertips.
Uncle Mu is not an ordinary general, and Mr. Zong is not an ordinary person either. With their ability to command the army, this move can have very little effect on their command of the army.
The reason why the barbarian king insists on doing this is because he wants to do something.
While thinking, Li Qingyan's phoenix eyes were slightly puzzled, trying to use empathy to deduce the thoughts of his old rival.
I do not know how long it has been,
"boom!!!"
A huge roar exploded from the south of the city, interrupting Li Qingyan's thoughts.
After a moment of silence, Li Qingyan got up and got out of the car, looking towards the direction of the explosion.
I saw a huge burst of fire outside the city over there, and the defensive formation of Beifeng City had automatically opened due to the explosion.
The next moment,
"Dong——"
"Dong——"
"Dong——"
Three huge alarm bells sounded in the sky of Beifeng.
The barbarians began to attack the city.
A little early
