Chapter 141: Ruthless War
"Young lady!"

One of Haitang's feet was tied to a wooden board. When Wei Chi carried her into the yard with a gloomy face, Rong Peilan was feeding the youngest child in the yard.

Rong Peilan handed the small bowl to an aunt who was hired to take care of the child.

"Haitang!" She went to greet her.

Fengqing was the initial battlefield, and the situation was so tragic that Wan Lie only brought her out.

On the way to Yanhui, no matter how she asked, he was like a mute and said nothing.

Now seeing Haitang appear in front of her in good condition, she couldn't help but fill her eyes with tears.

Wei Chi put Haitang down. Haitang jumped forward on one foot and almost fell down.

Before Rong Peilan could reach out to hold him, Wei Chi quickly secured him.

Haitang blushed, took the young lady's arm, and jumped to the side twice as if to avoid suspicion.

"Thank you, thank you, Brother Wei..."

"The prince may need you there, go get busy!"

Rong Peilan glanced at Haitang, who looked a little shy.

He raised his eyes and said to Wei Chi, "Although my father-in-law has already sent a letter to the prince, please tell him that I am doing well now and I am very safe in the Northwest Camp."

"Let him rest assured. I will wait for him to come back."

"Also... swords have no eyes on the battlefield, so be careful."

"Yes." Wei Chi clasped his fists and handed a small bag to Haitang.

"This is the medicine prescribed by the military doctor. Miss Haitang, remember to change it every day."

Rong Peilan looked at Haitang with a smile and thanked her quietly. Wei Chi nodded and turned to leave.

She has always known Haitang's thoughts. She has feelings for him, but she doesn't know whether he is interested or not. But now it seems that there is a hint of interest in him.

Rong Peilan helped her sit on the stool and asked, "How are Amu and Axiu? Did they escape the disaster?"

Haitang nodded, "They are fine, and Amu's parents are fine too."

"It's just that... there are only about a hundred people left in the entire Fengqing now."

She raised her head and wanted to ask what grudge the young lady's father had with Da Qi that led to this.

But she also knew that the young lady also grew up alone in the Xie family.

I'm afraid she doesn't know why her long-dead father suddenly came back to life.

Rong Peilan lowered her eyelids.

It is an indisputable fact that she is Muchun's daughter. Although her father-in-law says that she is her, Muchun is Muchun.

But deep down she found it difficult to overcome her own difficulties.

A little girl over two years old staggered to Rong Peilan's side, tugged her dress with her little hands, and said in a baby voice, "Hug me~"

The little girl's chubby face is like a little sun.

Rong Peilan turned sideways and picked up the child.

A child who was only two years old originally grew up in a wealthy and warm family.

My family ran a teahouse business, but after the war, everything was gone.

The old slave who was protecting her also died after placing her at the gate of the northwest camp.

When the child was first brought in, she kept crying and was restless. Rong Peilan held her for several hours before she slowly calmed down.

Now I cling to her the most.

Baoer held her face with her two little hands. She frowned and leaned forward with her pouty mouth, "Hoohoo~"

All the tiny drops of saliva were on Rong Peilan's face.

The aunt who was feeding the baby nearby was startled when she saw this and hurried forward to take Baoer down.

Rong Peilan held Bao'er in one hand and stopped her with the other, "It's ok, auntie, feed the child first."

Haitang took out a handkerchief and handed it to the young lady, "Young lady, the child is worried about you."

Rong Peilan looked at the children in the yard and sighed. "This disaster destroyed the children's home."

"I, I am to blame..."

When she arrived, there were only a dozen children here, some of whom were children of fallen soldiers.

In just a few days, there are already more than thirty more children.

They are all orphans without parents.

If this battle is not ended soon, there will be more and more children like this.

-

The camp of the Western Jin Dynasty.

There was uncontrollable excitement in Moller's eyes.

The Western Jin army suppressed him all the way, and he had never felt so happy.

Now he had every reason to suspect that his father, the Khan, was a complete coward!

They were beaten by an army like Daqi's and were afraid to leave the capital for more than ten years!

Mu Chun looked at the map in deep thought.

Moller didn't get a response, and said impatiently, "The Tiger Guards suffered heavy losses, why did they stop the pursuit! You have wasted three days, what are you waiting for?"

Muchun turned his head and glanced at Moller, "There are 200,000 soldiers in the Northwest Camp. How can the Khan be sure of resisting?"

Moller raised his eyes, "Master Mu is asking me?"

"Western Jin has 100,000 troops, and the Northwest Camp has 200,000 troops. How can we use these 100,000 troops to fight against 200,000 troops?"

"What I want to see is your ability."

Muchun lowered his eyelids, then raised them again.

"The new gunpowder has been delivered intact, and the wooden bridge from Fengqing to Western Jin has also begun construction. Is the Khan ready for a long war?"

Moller laughed softly, "What I am least afraid of is waiting. I am only afraid that Lord Mu cannot give me a surprise that is worth waiting for."

Mu Chun looked at the map.

"Tonight, the troops will be divided into two groups. One group will interfere with Shiqiu, and the other group will go directly to Chengzhou."

Moller frowned slightly, he was a little confused, "Go to Chengzhou?"

The two cities closest to Shiqiu are Longhui and Sansha.

Now Muchun wants to go to Chengzhou?
Mu Chun "pretends to interfere, so they will rush after him without thinking."

"When Shiqiu is isolated and helpless, pretend to interfere and then attack the city! After taking down Shiqiu, immediately attack Longhui!"

"By the time the Northwest Army reacts, they will have already lost two cities in a row."

As he spoke, he slowly walked to the edge of the sand table and picked up two small flags, one black and one red.

"The Khan needs to lead the team to stay in Shiqiu, and I will lead another team to Chengzhou."

Moller looked at Mu Chun, and after a moment, a smile appeared on his lips, "I think Lord Mu is more suitable to stay in Shiqiu."

"Let Ben Khan do the legwork."

"I am waiting to see the good news from Lord Mu, and to plant the flags of the Western Jin Dynasty on the city walls of Shiqiu and Longhui!"

Mu Chun lowered his eyelids and chuckled, "Since the Khan wants to give the credit to me, I will be disrespectful to refuse it."

Moller looked at Mu Chun's smiling face.

"Master Mu, what if the Northwest Army does not follow me and only fights in Shiqiu?"

Mu Chun chuckled, "That's even better."

"The Khan can directly take Chengzhou and Jin'an. When the Northwest Army comes to support, I will go straight to Jin'an and join the Khan."

"However, I think General Ji of the Northwest Army would not do this."

"Therefore, the Khan will encounter many ambushes on the way to Chengzhou. This is the long-term strategy that General Ji is best at."
