What kind of courteous gift is this!
General Nie Jun was so angry that he almost vomited blood. His entire face looked like he had been constipated for many years.
He was unwilling to give the order to retreat, but he was thinking about how to explain himself. Because the two armies had only fought for a short period of time, the actual casualties on both sides were not high, so this battle could not be considered a defeat. There was one thing that could not be ignored. Jiang Pengji's continuous and coquettish actions were equivalent to a loud slap on Nie Jun's face. They could argue that Jiang Pengji was too shameless, but it couldn't change the fact that they were humiliated.
The Nie army had obviously chased Jiang Pengji's army into Zhanjiang Pass, but when they returned, they were like a group of defeated roosters.
The frontline military report immediately reached Nie Liang's ears. Before the Nie army's general arrived, he already knew the whole story.
Nie Liang's face turned pale after hearing this, but his expression did not change. Only the two people close to him could see that his fingers were trembling slightly because of his anger. Wei Dan and Fan Chen looked at each other. They could see the deep worry and criticism of Jiang Pengji in each other's eyes.
Although the other civil and military officials in the tent did not see it, they knew that the atmosphere in the tent was not right. For a moment, there was absolute silence.
Nie Liang took a deep breath and suppressed the roiling rage in his heart.
He would not fly into a rage because of Jiang Pengji's naughtiness, but he did feel uncomfortable.
If it wasn't for his excellent endurance, he would have been angered to the point of death.
After a while, Nie Liang asked.
"How's the weather and wind direction tomorrow?"
A man stepped out of the tent and cupped his hands. "Judging from the weather and wind direction, tomorrow should be a sunny day with a southeast wind."
There was little rain in the north, and it was currently summer. It was not difficult to speculate the recent changes in the weather with some knowledge of geomancy and geography.
"Now that the weather is dry, withered trees are easily flammable … The southeast wind is just right." Nie Liang lowered his eyes and said, "Order people to prepare dry wood, firewood, and black oil. Tomorrow, at the hour of the third day, send troops to attack Zhanjiang Pass. Liu Xi toyed with us today. Tomorrow, we will burn him to death. "
Fan Chen said in surprise, "All the trees in the forest near Zhanjiang Pass have been chopped down by Liu Xi's men until only wooden stumps are left. Burning them probably won't work."
Nie Liang said, "Smoke and Fire Scorching, I'll return the favor."
Everyone understood that this wasn't a proper attack. It was just a test of the enemy's strength, and at the same time, a way to get back at them for what had happened today.
However —
They never expected Jiang Pengji to be mischievous. How could being mischievous be enough?
"Report — there are hundreds of prisoners of war outside the camp …"
Nie Liang raised his eyebrows and felt that things were not simple.
Since he was a captive, he shouldn't have deserted during the battle. He was most likely captured by the enemy before the battle.
The enemy captured captives and then released them. What did this mean?
"Captive? What is Liu Xi up to this time? "
Fan Chen was subconsciously frightened. From Jiang Pengji to Sun Wen, none of her subordinates were normal.
The soldier stammered, "Those captives were all dressed in women's clothing. I can't describe them …"
Huh?
Everyone was confused.
When they went out to take a look, they were immediately embarrassed and angry. Their decades of self-restraint were all gone.
The captives were all elites of the Nie clan who had been abducted from the frontlines. Their battle robes embroidered with the emblem of the Nie clan had been stripped off and replaced with gaudy and extremely ill-fitting female clothes. Like prey, they were tied up in a row with a rope, and their feet were also shackled. According to the scout's report, they were chased here by Jiang Pengji's cavalry with a shepherd's whip.
The soldiers also found a brocade box hanging around the neck of one of them. The words on it were written in flamboyant calligraphy and looked imposing.
"Gift to Guangshan?"
For the lord, Nie Liang?
One of them took down the brocade box and secretly weighed its weight.
"Please allow me to examine it, lest there be filth hidden in it and hurt the lord."
A brave general stepped forward and opened the brocade box. He was almost blinded by the jewelry inside.
He took a closer look and saw a set of gorgeous jewelry. Underneath it was a set of complicated and gorgeous women's clothing, a sachet, and all kinds of accessories.
Everyone was silent. They were speechless, but the anger in their hearts was rising.
A set of women's clothing and jewelry was given to the Lord of Guangshan?
Immediately, a noble man fainted from anger. The crowd pressed on his philtrum for a long time before he woke up.
"She's going too far! She's going too far! "
The noble man was so angry that his fingers were trembling. He had an angry and aggrieved expression.
"A vicious woman with such filthy, vicious, vulgar, and vulgar thoughts. How is there even an ounce of gentlemanly demeanor in her every move?"
First, she sent people to attack Nie Liang's only son. The next day, she brought people to attack him. She did not fight properly and left after humiliating him. Now, she dressed the captives in women's clothing. She made them put on makeup and makeup. They wore eye-catching red buttocks, cheeks, and blushes. She also gave Nie Liang a set of women's clothing …
Each of these actions was enough to make one Buddha come into being and two Buddhas ascend to heaven.
At this moment, someone in the tent said angrily, "Why don't we give her a set of the Four Self-accomplishment Classics for Women and let her know what a woman's duty is!"
Come on, let's hurt each other!
Although Wei Yong did not look at the person, he felt some contempt in his heart.
He flatly refused. "No, we're at a disadvantage."
What was the Four Self-accomplishment Classics for Women?
It was a malignant tumor that had plagued Zhongzhao for many years. It was an evil thing that the Demon Empress created to harm Zhongzhao.
In the first few years, everyone was against it. However, there were still some who secretly regarded it as a standard. No one knew what they were after.
Jiang Pengji's mischief was indeed disgusting, but it was a normal method of confrontation. If one's side sent the Four Self-accomplishment Classics for Women to attack the other party's gender in order to disgust others, it was tantamount to offending all the women in the world. In essence, they were at a disadvantage and could easily bring shame to their lord, Nie Liang.
When the person saw Wei Yong speak, he was a little angry, but he did not dare to refute.
Someone else was not pleased. What did he mean by "at a disadvantage"?
"Could it be that Liu Xi, the traitor, humiliated the lord with a set of women's clothing is at a disadvantage?"
Wei Yong said, "You can send a set of men's clothing over."
Everyone was speechless.
They all knew that Jiang Pengji initially presented herself as a man. Later, when she became famous at the Huangshui Meeting, she changed to a woman. For her, there was actually no difference between men's clothing and women's clothing. If she gave him a set of men's clothing, she might even say thank you. In the summer, she would have an extra set of clothes to change into.
She could be shameless enough to say thank you. Could Nie Liang respond by thanking her generously for giving him a change of clothes?
Wasn't that nonsense!
Probably because he had been provoked previously, Nie Liang was quite calm in the face of the women's clothing and the women's hair.
He said calmly, "The goddess has the intention, but I have no intention."
Wei Yong was silent for a moment. He instantly understood Nie Liang's response.
