"General, the battle report of Yonglin City!"
"Send it in!" The cursing in the tent stopped abruptly. Everyone looked at the soldier who came in with the report seriously, for fear of hearing bad news from him.
"General, the rebel army of King Li attacked the city for two hours this morning. At noon, the rebel army was defeated. Lieutenant Xia asked the general to rest assured that as long as there is a soldier in Yonglin City, the rebel army will never cross the city. "The soldier reported loudly.
"Great, these two boys are really good." Murong Shen was overjoyed. In fact, he was a little nervous about sending Yun Ting and Xia Shu to Yonglin City before. After all, they were too young, but there was no one to send in Shattering Snow Pass. He didn't expect that these two boys could win two days in a row. After thinking for a while, Murong Shen asked with some doubts, "King Li's army of more than 100,000 has been exhausted. How did Yun Ting and Xia Shu defeat them?"
The soldier didn't hide it, "We couldn't hold on at first, but suddenly many cavalrymen in black appeared out of nowhere and defeated the enemy. In addition, the governor of Yongzhou was also killed in King Li's army. "
Murong Shen was stunned. He couldn't figure out the identity of these cavalrymen in black, but it was a good thing that the governor of Yongzhou was killed. "Good! Go back and check the information of those cavalrymen. Send it to me as soon as possible. "
"Yes!"
"General, Lieutenant Yun Ting wants to see you."
"Yun Ting? Why is he here? Let him in! "Murong Shen frowned and waved his hand to order.
Not long after, Yun Ting came in in a hurry. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted to Murong Shen, "General, look who this is!" Murong Shen was about to reprimand Yun Ting for his impetuousness, but when he looked up, he couldn't say anything for a long time. Murong Shen didn't like to socialize in the capital, and Ye Li didn't like to go out either. But Murong Ting and Ye Li were really good friends. Therefore, General Murong, who loved his daughter as much as his own life, had seen this famous Princess Ding a few times. Although the other party was dressed in black and was dressed as a man, Murong Shen had a deep impression of her beautiful face and calm smile. "Wang..." Murong Shen tried his best to swallow the rest of the word, only to hear Ye Li salute him with a smile, "General Murong, how have you been since we parted in the capital?" After all, Murong Shen was a general who had been on the battlefield for half of his life. He quickly regained his composure and returned the greeting with a smile. "Thank you for your concern. I would like to thank you for your help in resolving the crisis of Yonglin." The black-clad cavalryman saw the Princess Consort of Ding who suddenly appeared here. If Murong Shen couldn't guess who saved Yonglin, he wouldn't be Murong Shen who had fought with Mo Liufang.
Although the generals in Shattering Snow Pass didn't know who the black-clad young man who came with Yun Ting who saved Yonglin was, they clearly sensed that General Murong knew this person, so they also relaxed their guard and looked at Ye Li curiously. Murong Shen looked at the crowd, waved his hand to let them leave, and then invited Ye Li to sit down. Ye Li didn't stand on ceremony. After thanking him, she walked to one side and sat down. "General, can Shattering Snow Pass be defended?" Ye Li knew Murong Shen's temper very well, and didn't want to waste time with him, so she asked directly.
Murong Shen looked deeply at Ye Li, sighed after a while, and said, "I won't hide it from you, Princess. If there weren't Prince Li's hundreds of thousands of troops behind me, Murong Shen dares to guarantee that the people of Nanjiang would never step into Shattering Snow Pass. But... once Yonglin City is breached... heh heh, Shattering Snow Pass may not be able to defend for even half a day. " There was no barrier between Shattering Snow Pass and Yonglin City. Once the rebel army passed Yonglin City, it was equal to leaving the defending army behind for the rebel army to attack. At that time, the defending army of Shattering Snow Pass would be wiped out without any effort from Nanzhao people.
Ye Li naturally understood that Murong Shen was telling the truth. She frowned and said, "In your opinion, how long will it take for the reinforcements to arrive?"
Murong Shen smiled bitterly, "If... at most two days, the reinforcements will arrive. But now... within ten days, we won't even see half a shadow of the reinforcements. "
Ye Li raised her eyebrows, "So you mean that Shattering Snow Pass can't be defended?"
Murong Shen gritted his teeth and said, "We have to defend even if we can't. As long as Murong Shen is still alive, Nanzhao people won't be able to pass through Shattering Snow Pass. "Ye Li was silent for a moment, and then raised her head and asked," How long do you think we can defend? "Murong Shen said in a low voice," That depends on how long Yonglin can last. How many Black Cloud Cavalry did Princess bring this time? "
Ye Li sighed, "This time it's purely a coincidence. The Black Cloud Cavalry only has two thousand people. General... if Shattering Snow Pass can't be defended, can we... retreat to Yun Lan River? "Murong Shen waved his hand and said firmly," Others can retreat, but Murong Shen can't! Since His Majesty has sent Murong Shen to guard Shattering Snow Pass, I can only live and die with Shattering Snow Pass! " Ye Li frowned and said, "Then, have you thought about what will happen if Nanjiang people take advantage of the situation and march north after Shattering Snow Pass is broken? The twenty thousand defending troops of Yongzhou have been wiped out at Yun Lan River. At this time, not only is Yongzhou in danger, Yongzhou also has no troops to guard it. "
Murong Shen laughed and said proudly, "Don't worry, Princess. After receiving the news of Commander Wu's death, I thought of this point. So I've ordered people to monitor Heng Hui Bridge at Yun Lan River day and night. If the reinforcements arrive first, then it's fine. But once Shattering Snow Pass is broken and the reinforcements haven't arrived, the people left there will destroy the bridge at all costs. No matter if Nanzhao people want to rebuild the bridge, cross the river by boat, or take a detour, the journey will be delayed for at least half a month. At that time... the reinforcements of the imperial court should arrive. But Princess, thank you for your help this time. Please leave Yongzhou as soon as possible for your safety. "
Ye Li stood up and saluted Murong Shen with admiration, "Since General has made up his mind, then... how about leaving Yonglin City to me?"
"Princess?" Murong Shen looked at her in surprise. Ye Li smiled and said, "Since I'm the Princess of Ding Country, how can I leave Yongzhou when it's in danger? Ye Li is also willing to live and die with Yonglin City, so as to live up to the name of Ding Country. Isn't that right? "
Murong Shen was silent for a long time before he finally said, "No wonder..." No wonder the Black Cloud Cavalry would listen to Princess Ding's command. She was indeed not an ordinary lady. Everyone thought that only Prince Ding and Princess Ding could command the Black Cloud Cavalry. But they didn't know that even among the past Princess Ding, there were only two or three people who could really command the Black Cloud Cavalry. Not to mention the former Princess Ding, even Prince Ding's birth mother, the Princess who was deeply in love with Prince Regent Mo Liufang, also never had the right to command the Black Cloud Cavalry.
Ye Li raised her eyebrows and waited for Murong Shen's words. Murong Shen just shook his head and didn't say anything. He just looked up at Ye Li and said, "So, Yonglin City will be entrusted to Princess. I can't help Princess with anything, so I can only send another ten thousand people to Princess. " These ten thousand people were supposed to be sent to reinforce Yun Ting and Xia Shu when they couldn't hold on anymore. It was also the only people he could send.
