When Yuan Xin acted, he really wanted Nie Xun to die.
After calming down for so many days, he was actually glad that the other party was still alive.
If Nie Xun died, this matter would be stuck in Lord's heart for the rest of her life. Yuan Xin would not be able to be put in an important position in the future.
Not only that, it might even implicate the descendants of Yuan Xin's bloodline.
With this thought in mind, when Yuan Xin learned that Nie Xun was gradually getting out of danger and that his wounds were starting to heal, he turned a blind eye and did not ask the military doctor to do anything. In the future, there would be many opportunities to find trouble with Nie Xun. There was no need to rush.
Yuan Xin's tiger eyes seemed to shine as he asked, "What else did you talk about?"
Hua Yuan smiled and said, "I tried to ask for guidance for a while, but the military advisor's energy is not enough. I can only take my leave regrettably."
Yuan Xin curled his lips in disdain and said mockingly, "He's quite refined. He only took a knife and made himself look like a woman within a month."
What was "within the moon"?
If Yuan Xin's words were heard by Nie Xun, wouldn't he go crazy with anger?
Hua Yuan listened quietly at the side with a faint smile on his face. His presence was so low that it was like a wall in the background.
Yuan Xin could not be bothered to mention Nie Xun anymore. He was more worried about the situation at the front line. He followed Hua Yuan's instructions, but the results were minimal.
The bait was set, but the big fish refused to take the bait.
When Hua Yuan heard about this, he asked in surprise, "Who is the enemy general? Why is he so cautious and difficult to deal with? "
Yuanxin said in distress, "This general doesn't know either. The scouts didn't find anything either. All they know is that it's a young, unfamiliar general."
He did not meet Jiang Pengji face to face. The scouts who went out to investigate did not know what Jiang Pengji looked like. Jiang Pengji was always dressed as a man in the army. Most of the time, she wore a heavy military uniform and armor. She wore a helmet that covered both sides of her face.
People who were not familiar with her could easily mistake her gender.
Everyone in the world knew that the Duchess of Lanting was the only female vassal, so it was impossible to link it to her.
Because of the mismatch in information, no one had discovered that the "seriously ill" Jiang Pengji had been wandering in the rear of Chenzhou for almost a month.
Hua Yuan shook his head. If it was a young general, it was even more impossible.
Yuan Xin asked, "What's wrong with that?"
Hua Yuan said, "General, put yourself in their shoes and think about it. If you were their general, would you follow up with a successful pursuit or retreat?"
Yuan Xin was stunned for a moment, then said decisively, "Of course it's to retreat in the face of danger."
Because of the omniscient view, Yuan Xin knew that it was a trap to strengthen the defense and clear the field. Of course, he would not say that he would foolishly "follow up on his victory".
Hua Yuan continued, "If you don't know anything, the advantage lies with you. You only need to follow the prescribed order and pursue the enemy, and you'll be able to increase the results of the battle by several times. In the face of such a huge temptation, will the general really give up the heavenly merit that is within easy reach at this critical moment? "
Yuan Xin blushed and said reluctantly, "Of course I'm unwilling."
No one would remain unmoved in the face of benefits that were easily obtainable.
Hua Yuan added, "Even a general is like this, let alone an unknown young general."
Young generals admittedly had their merits, but they also had many shortcomings, such as eagerness for quick success and instant benefits, instability, lack of experience, and so on.
Yuan Xin's character and character were flawed, but his combat experience was unquestionable. Otherwise, Huang Song would not have given him so many opportunities.
Even Yuan Xin would take the risk, let alone an impatient and immature young general, and an unfamiliar young general.
An unfamiliar face meant that he was not famous, and a young general meant that he was young and inexperienced. Logically speaking, this person's desire to achieve success was stronger than that of a normal general. But in the end? In the face of temptation, he was not moved, and he retreated in the face of danger without lingering to fight. How was he like a young and inexperienced fledgling?
Yuan Xin regained his composure and said, "According to what you're saying, the commanding general is someone else?"
Hua Yuan's expression was solemn as he said, "The general is experienced and knowledgeable. Who do you think this style resembles?"
Yuan Xin thought carefully under Hua Yuan's reminder. As he thought, he said, "There are only a few famous generals under Liu Xi. Each of them has their own temperament, and the way they do things are very different. This decisive style — it's not easy to guess. Perhaps it's a new face. "
Although he did not want to admit it, Liu Xi was already a feudal lord who dominated more than half of Dongqing and the northern borderline.
Even if she was a woman, she could bring benefits. As long as there were benefits to be gained, there would naturally be people who would rush to join her.
It was not unusual for a new face to join her camp.
Yuan Xin said, "Why, you don't agree?"
Hua Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "I am indeed a little narrow-minded. Do you think … this style is like the Lord of Lanting himself?"
Yuan Xin was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue.
What did he hear?
Liu Xi?
Yuan Xin shook his head and said, "Impossible, impossible. Liu Xi was seriously ill because of her grandmother's death. I heard that she almost lost her life. Why would she risk her life to come to Chenzhou? If she came to Chenzhou, who would be guarding the front line? This speculation is too absurd and ridiculous … "
According to a normal person's thinking, Yuan Xin's words were not wrong.
Jiang Pengji was out of her mind, but the people under her command should have brains. How could they allow their lord to leave the front line and enter the enemy's rear?
Hua Yuan saw Yuan Xin's confident expression and smiled embarrassedly. "You're right, Counselor … I was thinking too much."
Although there was no evidence, Hua Yuan still felt that it was Jiang Pengji.
He had studied the few battles that Jiang Pengji had led. Her distinct personal style left a deep impression. She had shown her decisive side since the first battle against the Tsing Yi Army. She was always so sober and calm, as if she was standing on the sidelines from the beginning to the end.
Would such a sober person really disregard the overall situation and risk running to the enemy's rear?
Yuan Xin said, "If the enemy doesn't take the bait, think of another way."
Hua Yuan came back to his senses and said with a smile, "I have a plan here. Counselor, please listen."
The two of them talked in low voices. Yuan Xin's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Jiang Pengji sneezed loudly and rubbed her nose. "I'm afraid Zixiao misses me."
Yang Si was speechless.
My lord, look down. That's because you're embarrassing yourself.
"I wonder how Huaiyu's preparations are going …"
Jiang Pengji planned to retreat after having enough fun. She had disturbed the peace in Chenzhou. Huang Song's head would probably hurt if he heard the news.
To prevent the enemy from suddenly becoming smart and running to fight a war of attrition, Jiang Pengji asked Feng Jin to be ready to support her.
As long as they crossed the gorge, the army would be safe.
Yang Si said, "The news has been spread. Huaiyu will make the appropriate arrangements."
Jiang Pengji was about to nod when she heard the sound of horse hooves. She saw two teams of scouts rushing back to the army.
"Report — traces of an ambush have been found ahead …"
Ambush?
Jiang Pengji frowned deeply and said unhappily, "It's not easy to fight on other people's home ground. They always set up ambushes."
If they accidentally stepped into a trap, Jiang Pengji would lose a lot of troops.
Yang Si asked the scout, "How many ambushes have you found out?"
The scout said, "According to the traces, there are about 10,000 of them."
More than 10,000 ambushes?
So much effort?
If the ambush gained the upper hand, even if Jiang Pengji's side was vigilant, they would lose nearly 10,000 troops if they really fought.
Seeing that they were about to leave Chenzhou, Jiang Pengji did not want to increase the number of casualties.
She turned her head and asked Yang Si, "Can we go around them?"
Yang Si was from Dingjun in Chenzhou. He was very familiar with the terrain. Otherwise, Jiang Pengji would not have dragged him here.
