Jiuxi

Chapter 246 244 [Explanation]

"Grand Governor, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."

"The old miracle doctor said it's okay."

"Your chronic illnesses can be cured, but the damage caused to the body by years of accumulated injuries cannot be completely eradicated. Whether it is the golden needle technique of the two doctors or the prescription prescribed by the old man, even if there is a difference in effect, it is essentially the same. It can play a supporting role. The key is that the governor should reduce his workload and pay special attention not to worry about his mind."

Xue Huaiyi's words awakened Li Bingxue from her deep thoughts. She asked nervously: "Mr. Xue, is there really no way to completely cure my father's illness?"

Xue Huaiyi glanced at Li Tianrun with a slightly embarrassed look, noticed the deep meaning in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Captain Li, don't worry too much, I will do my best, and I will stay here for the next period of time."

Li Bingxue felt a little relieved and chatted briefly before the father and daughter said goodbye and left.

Walking in the corridor, Li Tianrun said gently: "Bingxue, what do you think of the discussion about the war just now?"

Li Bingxue suppressed the worries in her heart, and after thinking carefully, she said: "I agree with dad's idea. During this period of patrolling the border, I found that Niu Cunjie does have some real abilities. The defenses in the various cities of Puppet Yan are quite strict. If he does not follow dad's lead in deploying defenses across the entire line, but instead takes the initiative to abandon some cities and shrink the defense line again, it will be even harder for our army to find a breakthrough."

Li Tianrun showed a hint of approval.

Li Bingxue continued: "Right now, he is trapped by his own arrangement and unable to move. As long as Generals Fan and Huo rush to the predetermined position as scheduled and seize the lead with their superiority in military strength, Niu Cunjie will inevitably be in a dilemma."

Li Tianrun asked with interest: "So what's the next step?"

Li Bingxue pondered: "If I can open a gap on the western front, I can assemble the Feiyu battalion to break into the enemy's territory, clear obstacles on the march route for the infantry, and use this as a breakthrough to continue to expand the results."

Li Tianrun walked with his hands behind his back, shook his head and said, "That's not right."

"Please give me daddy's advice."

"In this year's battle, our Jingzhou Army is positioned to assist, mainly to cooperate with the actions of the Huaizhou Army. Even if Daqi's national strength can support a full-scale offensive, there will be great resistance from the imperial court, and His Majesty and the Right Prime Minister will also It will bear great pressure. Therefore, Governor Xiao and I have set the tone very early on that it is better to cut off one of the enemy's five fingers than to hurt him."

"The one finger that dad said refers to the Pseudo-Yan Dongyang Road?"

"That's right. Only by actually regaining a piece of territory, rather than entangled with each other on the border, can the people of Beidi Qi believe in my determination to expedition to the north. On this basis, you and Feiyu Camp's mission Just rush north from the east front."

The map of the north came to Li Bingxue's mind. According to Li Tianrun's instructions, she needed to lead the Feiyu Battalion on a long-distance attack, all the way north along the western foothills of the Shuangfeng Mountains, passing through Jianghua, Xunyang, Shiquan and other places, all the way to the northeast of Moyang Road Xinchang City.

It's not far from Panlong Pass.

At this moment, she finally grasped the crux of the problem and asked: "Dad, do you want me to lead the Feiyu Camp to scare the Yan Army in Xinchang City and create conditions for my colleagues in the Huaizhou Army to leave Panlong Pass from the north?"

However, Li Tianrun still shook his head and said: "No, I want you to lead the troops beyond Xinchang City and continue north, and cooperate with Lu Chen to win the most important victory in the Northern Expedition."

Hearing this name from his father again, Li Bingxue felt a surge of complex emotions in his heart, lowered his head and said, "Yes, daddy."

Li Tianrun sighed secretly and immediately told her the complete strategy. Li Bingxue listened carefully and occasionally asked some questions.

When she sent Li Tianrun back to her room to rest and then returned to her residence, she let out a sigh.

After talking to Gu Waner last time, she became more clear about her thoughts and no longer deliberately avoided her affection for Lu Chen, but she would still firmly continue on the path she chose.

Those romances in Yongjia City will be forever sealed in beautiful memories.

Until the sudden appearance of the miracle doctor Xue, and the gradual improvement of his father's physical condition, it was all due to that man's thoughts.

"You……"

Li Bingxue wrinkled the tip of her nose, but she didn't know whether she was talking about Lu Chen or herself.

Of course she knew that Lu Chen was not doing this to win her favor, otherwise he wouldn't have said a word in the past year, but it was this kind of cautious and cautious behavior that touched the deepest softness in her heart.

Jinghuai and Jinghuai are originally one body, and there will definitely be times when they will fight side by side in the future.

What will you say when we meet again?

"Miss Lin is far away in Baotai Mountain now. You will definitely not have the chance to meet in a short time. I guess you are not in the mood to think about this recently. After all, Governor Xiao has high hopes for you and entrusts you with many strategic planning matters. You must be under a lot of pressure. ?”

Li Bingxue's mind suddenly showed the pitiful appearance of Lu Chen, who had been thinking hard day and night, using all his energy to focus on his disheveled hair.

She couldn't help laughing, and murmured to herself: "I hope you take good care of yourself and don't work too hard."

……

"Mr. Lu, this is the Four Gods Soup I just made. It has the effect of nourishing the spleen and yin and clearing fire. Recently, you have been busy analyzing the battle situation every day. This Four Gods Soup may be of some use."

In the Luzhai of Lai'an Mansion, Wang Chulong walked into the study with Jin Shu.

Jin Shu placed the tray on the round table, bowed and left with a smile.

"Okay, hard work."

Lu Chen hung the pen on the pen holder, stood up, walked to the table and sat down, tasting the soup cooked by Wang Chulong himself.

Similar scenes have occurred many times during this period, so there are less unnecessary politeness between the two.

Wang Chulong walked to the big case, looked at the sketch drawn by Lu Chen, and at the same time calculated the numbers he put on the paper in his mind. After these days of getting along with each other, she was able to read the words Lu Chen put out at will, and she was able to put forward some opinions that were helpful to Lu Chen.

From a certain perspective, she gradually showed signs of becoming a qualified military advisor.

"There has been a big gap in the strength of the Yan army on Dongyang Road. According to your estimate, the strength of the Yan army on Moyang Road is roughly the same. Judging from the strength comparison between the two sides, I think your strategy is flawless. The only thing you need to worry about is It was Qingyu Huaijin who saw through your thoughts, pretended to be fooled, and prepared an ambush in advance."

Wang Chulong spoke leisurely, then turned around and asked, "How does it taste?"

Lu Chen held the spoon in his right hand and raised the soup cup with his left hand, making a gesture of showing the bottom of the cup.

Wang Chulong smiled and said, "Since you like it, I'll stew it again tomorrow."

"If you continue to take supplements, you will gain weight."

Lu Chen took a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, walked to Wang Chulong, looked at the sketch on the case and said: "There is no perfect plan in this world. Qingyu Huaijin suffered several losses in my hands and made progress." Not necessarily. However, victory or defeat on the battlefield ultimately depends on the strength of the soldiers, and I firmly believe that our army can achieve the final victory."

Wang Chulong said "hmm" and said with a slight smile: "From ancient times to the present, military generals have been paying attention to big shoulders and round waists. It would be better if you eat more."

"lets change a topic."

Lu Chen looked at the woman's soft brows and said bluntly: "I received a secret order from the capital this morning."

Wang Chulong heard the implication of his words and asked softly: "Is this secret decree related to our Wang family?"

"Yes."

Lu Chen nodded and said slowly: "His Majesty said in the secret decree that he will not pursue what Wang Zhai Lin did back then, and that he will properly arrange for your father and uncle Ling. After regaining the old capital in the future, your father can do anything for you. The mountain chief of the Fengya Academy in Daqi allows my uncle to enter the court as an official, and all the young heroes of the Wang family will be given actual positions if they enter the court or join the army."

Wang Chulong's heart moved slightly, and he said calmly: "I think Your Majesty will not let my uncle go directly to the center. He should be given a title so that he can be raised honorably."

Lu Chen looked at her steadily and sighed: "Miss Wang, you still have to hide your clumsiness in front of others, otherwise I'm really worried that some people will be too jealous of your intelligence."

Wang Chulong couldn't help laughing and said: "I understand, in fact, this is not a complicated mystery. After all, my uncle has been the prime minister of the Yan Kingdom. If he surrenders to Da Qi and then ascends to a high position, how can the powerful people in Yongjia City tolerate him? The Emperor This promise is far beyond my uncle’s expectations, he will definitely be overjoyed when he receives the news.”

"There's one more thing...well, I hope you can help me with the details."

This was the first time that Lu Chen showed a troubled expression in front of her. Wang Chulong couldn't help but be very interested, nodded and said: "You say it."

Lu Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty said a private matter in the secret decree. Although it is not a reprimand, it is still very serious. Your Majesty asked me to be honest and do my duty, and not to get involved with women anymore, let alone get involved with other women. I don’t know. Miss Wang, to be honest, I feel that I have been wronged. What does your majesty mean by this?"

When he was halfway through speaking, Wang Chulong's eyes already showed a bit of shame.

She resisted the urge to leave the place and looked into Lu Chen's eyes. After a moment, she finally confirmed that he did not mean to make fun of him. He probably just didn't understand the seemingly incomprehensible words of Emperor Da Qi.

Wang Chulong lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, and said softly: "I guess the emperor's intention is that he knows about you and Miss Lin, and also knows that I came to Huaizhou. In order not to embarrass you, maybe... maybe I will give him something in the future. You grant the marriage, so there is no question of status. But he is also worried that you will have good luck in love. If a woman appears who you can only marry as your wife, the emperor cannot give you several wives at one time. It’s a bit ridiculous.”

Even though she had always had a calm attitude, she was still holding back her shyness as she said this.

Lu Chen suddenly realized that he was not stupid at all. He just got into trouble after receiving the secret order, thinking that the emperor was just randomly finding an excuse to deliberately beat him.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh and said, "I see. Fortunately, Miss Wang can help me answer my questions."

"I...I'm going back."

Wang Chulong said slowly.

"and many more."

Lu Chen stopped her, coughed lightly and said, "Miss Wang, thank you for taking care of me during this time. Although you said before that you would not say thank you, my gratitude this time is sincere."

Wang Chulong remembered that he had deliberately avoided the topic of soup. His long eyelashes trembled slightly and asked, "Are you going to lead the troops into battle?"

Lu Chen replied: "Yes, I received the military order from Governor Xiao yesterday. Now the time has come and we don't have to wait any longer, so I say goodbye to you today."

Wang Chulong took a gentle breath, stared into the other person's eyes, and said carefully: "Chulong wishes Mr. Lu that the final battle will determine the overall situation, and may the gods and Buddhas in the sky bless you with a safe and triumphant return."

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Okay."

She immediately turned around and left, no longer lingering to say another word.

Early the next morning, Wang Chulong didn't go out to see him off, and Lu Chen didn't go out of his way to say goodbye.

Outside Lai'an City, thousands of tigers and warriors in the Rui Shi Camp were ready to go.

Lu Chen came on horseback with more than a hundred riders. After briefly reviewing the team, he turned his horse's head towards the northwest and said solemnly: "The target is Panlong Pass, let's go!"

This army, tempered by the flames of war, moved forward in silence. Whether it was generals like Li Chengen and Bao An, military officers like Wang Jun, or even the solemn-looking soldiers, they closely followed Lu Shen and moved forward.

That day, strong winds blew and torrents swept across the land.
