She said it calmly, but her words were not arrogant.
You know, under the empire, there are countless vassal states and countless armies, many of which are elite divisions.
Xiao Yuan naturally didn't believe it at first, but soon he understood.
Because at this moment, there was an eagle hovering over the military camp. Mu Lianying didn't see any big movements, but the eagle seemed to have found its owner, falling quickly, and finally stopped on the ground in front of Mu Lianying.
The latter stepped forward, took a piece of cloth from the eagle's leg, unfolded it, read it, and handed it to Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan took it and saw it said: Followed the Xirong Army to the outside of Beiling.
Although it was just a simple sentence, it was enough to show that this was some kind of information. After reading it, Xiao Yuan also subconsciously asked: "When did this happen?"
"When I went down the mountain, I sent another person to follow the retreat of the Xirong army. Presumably, they have retreated to Beiling now." Mu Lianying said.
"In other words, the news has already arrived as soon as the Xirong Army returned to Beiling?"
"The time difference shouldn't be big." Mu Lianying returned.
Xiao Yuan pointed to the eagle on the ground again and couldn't help but said: "Can your Snow Clan control them?"
"Know a little bit."
"Haha." Xiao Yuan smiled, with a faint look in his eyes: "Okay, now I believe it. With the help of the girl, Beiling can be broken in just a day."
That was an era when words were still written on bamboo slips. With such an intelligence agency, how could it not be powerful?
After gaining the support of the Snow Clan, Xiao Yuan immediately began to convene the generals to discuss the troops.
"Sir." In the Chinese army's tent, all the generals clasped their fists together.
Mu Lianying was also among them. Xiao Yuan did not avoid her, but looked around, then directly drew out his sword, pointed sideways at the military map behind him, and said straight to the point:
"According to the information currently known to our army, within the next few days, the Xirong army may send troops from Beiling and enter the snowy mountains. By then, Beiling will be empty."
"As soon as the Xirong army moves, the Snow Clan's intelligence will be sent back, and our army will be able to leave the border and attack Beiling."
As he spoke, he pointed the edge of his sword at the Snow Mountain: "Based on the distance, when Xirong arrives at the land of the Snow Tribe, our army will also be able to reach the foot of Beiling City."
"Therefore, I want General Zhao Mu to lead 20,000 troops to cooperate with the Snow Clan to help them defend their homeland. Don't let the Xirong soldiers take a single step! Otherwise, come and see us!"
"I have the order!" Zhao Mu immediately clasped his fists.
Xiao Yuan continued: "Order Su Yi to lead 20,000 troops, leave Xiping Pass and attack Beiling!"
"General, take your orders!" Su Yi said in a loud voice, clasping his fists.
Xiao Yuan continued to draw on the map: "At that time, when the Xirong army goes deep into the snowy mountains and sees our Qin army outside the Snow City, they may be alert. In order to prevent their main force from returning for reinforcements, Beiling must be captured within three hours. Otherwise it will be dangerous.”
As he spoke, he added: "If the war goes well, when the time comes, the Xirong army will be in the snowy mountains. They will not be able to break through the snowy city in front of them, and they will not be able to return to Beiling. If there is an opportunity, our army can form a pincer attack and annihilate them here. His ministry!”
"Do you understand everything?"
"Understood!" All the generals responded in unison.
His orders were decisive, direct, and clear, and Mu Lianying couldn't help but glance at him.
Later, Xiao Yuan added: "In order to prevent Xirong from leaving Beiling tomorrow, Zhao Mu's troops will set off tonight to garrison the Snow Clan."
"yes!"
"Go down and get ready!" Xiao Yuan ordered again.
"No!" After all the generals clasped their fists together, they all bowed and retreated.
At this time, Xiao Yuan and Mu Lianying were the only two people left in the tent. He glanced at the latter first, and then said: "Zhao Mu led 20,000 troops and entered the snowy mountains at night. There may be wild beasts along the way. Miss Mu has some strategies to deal with these."
"I will send a letter to the tribe and ask them to take over General Zhao." Mu Lianying replied, and then immediately said: "Can you lend me a pen and ink?"
"Of course." Xiao Yuan turned sideways and stretched out his hand towards Shuai An.
Mu Lianying stepped forward, took out a small piece of cloth, then dipped her pen in ink, bent down and started writing.
Out of curiosity, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but come up and saw what she wrote, which was nothing more than asking the tribesmen to meet the Qin army on the edge of the snow mountain and fully cooperate.
Seeing her writing, Xiao Yuan smiled slightly and couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect that the girl's handwriting is as graceful and spiritual as people's."
I thought that his teasing would elicit some reaction from Mu Lianying, but the latter didn't even raise his head, didn't even pause the brush in his hand, and didn't say any words.
This cold beauty is somewhat interesting. Xiao Yuan said secretly.
After she finished writing, she picked up the small piece of cloth and walked out. Xiao Yuan followed curiously again.
After arriving outside the tent, Mu Lianying walked straight out of the military camp and then came to a deserted place. Xiao Yuan followed behind and watched with interest.
Not long after, a furry little animal ran over. It was a cedar tree with a cute appearance. After it appeared, it jumped directly to Mu Lianying's feet and squatted there with a pair of unblinking eyes. looked at Mu Lianying.
The latter squatted down, touched the cedar tree intimately, and then tied a small piece of cloth to its leg, apparently to send a message.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but asked curiously: "Why not use an eagle?"
"I want to see it." Mu Lianying continued to tease Xuesong, and finally there was a smile on her frosty face in front of the cute Xuesong.
Her smile was warm, as if the ice had melted, and she was extremely beautiful.
Xiao Yuan was in a daze for a short time. After coming back to his senses, he said sincerely: "You should smile more."
Mu Lianying did not respond to this sentence. After sending Xuesong away, she stood up and headed towards the military camp.
Xiao Yuan shook his head.
At night, there is a bright moon in the sky.
Mu Lianying looked in the direction of the snow-capped mountains, her eyes full of sorrow.
After a while, she raised the jade flute horizontally, put it under her lips and started playing slowly.
This piece of flute music does not summon any animals, but comes from her heart, with an inexplicable sadness, and the long flute sound is very touching.
She is such a young girl, but she shoulders the mission of the Snow Clan. No one can express her pain in her heart, so she can only express it through flute music.
When the sound of the flute fell, Mu Lianying put away the jade flute and sighed quietly. Just as she was about to return to camp, Xiao Yuan's voice came from behind:
"The girl's flute sound is very sad and inappropriate for the moment."
"Can you hear it?" Mu Lianying was slightly surprised and glanced at Xiao Yuan.
"I'm just a layman, I don't understand music, but I can hear the pain in the girl's heart." Xiao Yuan strolled forward, stood side by side with her, and also looked into the distance and said:
"Why bother so much."
Mu Lianying was silent, but she didn't leave either. The two of them just stood there quietly.
