Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that Zhuge Yu had guessed it right. She did not answer, and Zhuge Yu continued: "If we talk about using women on the battlefield, in the former Ji family, Princess Pingnan Qinji accompanied her husband on the battlefield, and in the land of Baiyue, Xiahou Yunzhao guarded the territory for the people. .What is Miss Fang doing now?"
"I do it for myself." Fang Zilan's voice was very low, but Zhuge Yu still heard what she said. He heard her say: "It doesn't matter that Mr. Zhuge refuses to recognize the name of General Fang Zilan today. One day I will Everyone will have to admit it." The momentum and brilliance in her eyes when she spoke made Zhuge Yu almost afraid to look directly at her.
It turned out that she had noticed a long time ago that his words about General Fang in the camp were not sincere, so she was not upset now that he was called Miss Fang, just because she had the confidence to convince everyone one day. Li Shengxuan's vision is indeed good, this woman is not simple.
"Zhuge Yu will wait and see." He said this, bowed respectfully, then turned and left. Seeing him leaving, Fang Zilan didn't stop much and hurried back to the military camp.
Leading troops to fight is not a simple job. Fang Zilan spent most of the day just figuring out the various positions in the military camp. As for the march process and the expedition plan, she has not thought about anything. Then she thought about Li Qiyou and Zhuge Yu's I don't know if the accompanying person is adding trouble or taking credit, and the Shangguan family in the north will not let her go easily. Don't be too troubled. You can only take one step at a time.
Fang Zilan couldn't help but sigh. In that world before, even though men and women were not absolutely equal, she never felt that the gap between men and women was that big, let alone that girls were inferior. Even girls could do whatever they wanted.
But now in this world, what she wants to do is to do something shocking, to be a woman on the battlefield and to be a high official. Can she really do it? No matter how firm she said it, she would actually feel uneasy in her heart, but she had no way out for a long time.
Not long ago, the army set off for the expedition. Li Shengxuan personally sent the army off at the city gate. Amidst the shouts of long live, Li Shengxuan helped Fang Zilan, who was kneeling in front of him, up, "It seems like yesterday that I set off for the northern border."
When Fang Zilan heard Li Shengxuan's voice, she smiled but was extremely determined. She raised her head and looked at the person in front of her. His expression was free and easy, as if he was not sending off the army, but just chatting with old friends to say goodbye.
"As the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, you must remember the important mission of going here. Only the death of Chakel can the peace of the people on the border be restored." Li Shengxuan said calmly, but Fang Zilan thought in his heart that Li Shengxuan was In front of everyone, they told their agreement, not only to quell the chaos in the north, but also to have Chakel's head on his neck.
"Fang Zilan will remember His Majesty's words and must go all out." Fang Zilan said, looking at the army behind him, and got up and mounted his horse.
"The great capital is due to you." Li Shengxuan's voice reached Fang Zilan's ears. She turned back to look at Li Shengxuan and saw that his expression was indescribably arrogant. This was his demeanor as the Lord of the World.
"When Fang Zilan returns from victory, I will personally come out of the city gate to greet you and show my courtesy to you." Since Li Shengxuan has made his promise as an emperor in front of the whole world, Fang Zilan will definitely do his best to achieve this promise. She raised her whip and started her own journey.
The soldiers were very fast. At dusk not many days after leaving Beijing, Fang Zilan saw Yanzhou City in front of her. She finally came again.
"The city of Yanzhou is ahead." Zhuge Yu's voice came from behind. Fang Zilan turned around and saw Zhuge Yu and Li Qiyou approaching on horseback.
"Yanzhou City is the territory of the Shangguan family." It was Li Qiyou who spoke. He glanced at Fang Zilan as he spoke. Fang Zilan certainly knew what he meant.
Although Li Shengxuan sealed Huang Fulin's mouth that day, the old fox had already quietly spread the news that she had killed Shangguan Yun. Not only the Empress Dowager and Li Qiyou knew about it, but the entire Shangguan family also knew about it. Yes, after entering Yanzhou City, I'm afraid she won't have anything good to eat.
"Finally we arrived at the Shangguan family's territory, so we allowed them to entertain us as we pleased." Fang Zilan looked indifferent, and Zhuge Yu's lips curled up slightly, "The Huangfu family in Pingshan City doesn't entertain much."
"General Huangfulin is unwell, and we can't disturb him." Fang Zilan answered casually, but secretly cursed Huangfulin as an old fox in his heart. He said he was ill and allowed them to go to Yanzhou City. What happened to Huangfulin on the Shangguan family's territory? Can be skimmed very cleanly.
"Miss Fang is kind-hearted." Li Qiyou said in a nonchalant manner, and Fang Zilan didn't take it seriously. Li Qiyou and Zhuge Yu were both quiet along the way, and she was already very content. As long as they didn't cause any trouble for her, and she could listen to them with an occasional sarcastic comment, there was nothing to lose anyway.
"Master Zhuge, is your health still okay?" Fang Zilan ignored Li Qiyou and turned to look at Zhuge Yu, who still just smiled, "Miss Fang, don't worry."
"How can I not be worried? Young Master Zhuge, as weak and delicate as you are, is now going on an expedition with me. If anything goes wrong, how can I explain it to Your Majesty and the Zhuge family?" Fang Zilan said with great worry, but the look on her face was different. It's obviously teasing.
Zhuge Yu suppressed a smile, "I'm not that weak yet, Miss Fang, don't worry." As he said this, he was secretly helpless about his image as a weak and noble young man.
Ignoring Li Qiyou and teasing Zhuge Yu, Fang Zilan felt a lot more relaxed and nodded: "In that case, let's go into the city."
"Wait a minute." Li Qiyou said and stopped in front of Fang Zilan's horse. Fang Zilan couldn't help but frowned, "What is your prince doing?"
"It must be dangerous for Miss Fang to enter the city. It's better for me to go into the city and find out what's going on for Miss Fang." Li Qiyou looked serious, not joking at all.
Fang Zilan reined in her horse and looked at the person in front of her steadily, "Does the prince really care about my safety, or does he want to go into the city and join forces with the Shangguan family to put me to death?"
"Miss Fang!" Zhuge Yu couldn't help scolding, but Li Qiyou was not displeased, "I know that Miss Fang can't trust me, but in the current national crisis, am I the kind of person who doesn't care about the overall situation?"
"I don't know if the prince is considering the overall situation, but since I know that the Shangguan family is here for me, naturally I won't let others risk my life for me." Fang Zilan said, patting his body and feeling a little restless. The restless horse signaled Li Qiyou to get out of the way.
"The Shangguan family dare not do anything to this king." Li Qiyou refused to give in, and Fang Zilan's hand tightened on the reins. "A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, so the prince is too confident."
"Why does Miss Fang have to think of things so badly?" Li Qiyou persisted, while Fang Zilan stepped aside and said, "This way we won't be too disappointed."
Fang Zilan's voice followed that figure in the sunset, making Li Qiyou feel a little annoyed. He is regarded as a prince, has been pampered since childhood, and feels that everything in the world is impossible. But since I became Fang Zilan's supervisor this time, I always feel that my hands are tied, and it seems that not everything is going as I want.
Fang Zilan suspected him, so he stayed calm all the way so as not to cause trouble to her. Zhuge Yu advised him not to be hasty, so he kept observing carefully before making any decisions. Now that he knew that Fang Zilan was not a foolhardy person, he wanted to try his best to help her, but was simply rejected.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry, Miss Fang just has such a temper." Zhuge Yu comforted him, "As time goes by, she will know your kindness."
"Master Zhuge knows how to watch fire, but I am not a stingy person." Li Qiyou rode his horse to follow, and Zhuge Yu followed closely behind, "That's natural."
Fang Zilan and his party took the lead in arriving at Yanzhou City. The Yanzhou City defenders just announced and opened the city gate. Soon a group of cavalry came out of the city to greet them.
The leading man nodded slightly after seeing the three of them, "King Yucheng, Master Zhuge is well." He turned a deaf ear to Fang Zilan among the three, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward for a moment.
"General Shangguan is well." Fang Zilan said leisurely, and the leading man frowned slightly, "Thanks to Miss Fang, I am not well." "Since General Shangguan knows me, why do you pretend not to see me? I came here according to your majesty's order. To quell the chaos in the northern border is for official business, and I hope General Shangguan will not stop him."
"I don't dare to stop him." The man looked a little colder, "It's just that the Jinren Rebellion has been causing trouble for a long time. I wonder if Miss Fang has any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"
"I dare not tell you a good strategy. It's just that the Jin people have repeatedly invaded our border, so we can't take it easy." Fang Zilan said and suddenly paused, "Even General Shangguan Yun died at the hands of the Jin people. I thought the Shangguan family should cooperate with me." It’s the same as the enemy’s anger.”
"What a common enemy." The man smiled coldly, "Miss Fang is so righteous and awe-inspiring, I admire her."
It turned out to be Shangguan Yun's uncle Shangguan Jing. Fang Zilan mentally reviewed the Shangguan family's genealogy: Shangguan Jing was the current head of the Shangguan family, and only one of his sons died in the battlefield, so he had high hopes for Shangguan Yun. But Shangguan Yun is dead, and Shangguan's family is so thin that he may not even be able to choose the next head of the family. Thinking like this, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful in her heart, and more importantly, she was worried that Shangguan Jing would not let her go easily.
"Miss Fang?" Shangguan Jing saw that Fang Zilan didn't respond, so he shouted, and then she came back to her senses, "I can't afford General Shangguan's admiration." She said, cupping her fists and saluting, "This is The military situation is urgent. I can't stay in Yanzhou City for long, so I will order troops now and set off early tomorrow morning."
"Now?" Shangguan Jing was stunned for a moment. He had already received the imperial edict. This time, the Shangguan family did not have to intervene, but the emperor wanted to requisition the Shangguan family's garrison in Yanzhou City. But he didn't expect that Fang Zilan would order troops as soon as he arrived. It seemed that she knew very well that she couldn't stay in Yanzhou City.
