Modern Couples' Life in Women's Society

Chapter 169 The Battle of Maoling

Xiao Tong was a little uncertain in his heart, looked carefully again, but found that it didn't seem to be an illusion.

After she knew Qiyou's feelings for her, she often saw similar complexities in his eyes, which she ignored before, but she always discovered inadvertently later.At this time, such similar and complicated eyes appeared in Yang Xuan's eyes, and they were looking at him...

She had never thought of such a possibility before. One was because he knew the former master's feelings for him, and he was extremely displeased. After she came, she was already married.According to common sense, such a situation will never happen, but common sense and absolute, it seems that this is rarely the case.

There seemed to be a reason for his change, such hopeless feelings should have caused him unbearable pain.The best solution seems to be to let time, let time dilute and forget.

So many thoughts flashed through Xiao Tong's mind quickly, and it only took a few seconds in reality, she seemed to reply unconsciously, "Mo Li is fine, but because he is already a general, he is busier than usual. I'm afraid that the Qi Congress will send troops again in the future, and if you don't worry about my safety, let me go back to Erythronia first."

"That's good, I still have something to do at home, so I have to say goodbye first." Yang Xuan forced a smile, and actually offered to leave early.

"It's still early, let's go back after lunch!" Of course Xiao Tong disagreed with him going back at this time, and hurriedly said.

Yang Xuan was very persistent, and left in a hurry, as if he came suddenly.Yao Yu, who came with him, was chatting happily with Qingsheng outside, but was also hurriedly taken away.Qingsheng was full of reluctance, but Xiao Tong didn't notice it because he had something on his mind.

Xiao Tong looked at the carriage going away, remained silent for a long time, then turned around and asked about Yang Xuan's recent situation, servant Yan told him that the Yang family had arranged a marriage for him last month.The target is He Jifeng, the second daughter of Yandu family He Jifeng (the third rank), He Chao, who just turned 20 years old this year and has already become an official. Because of his extraordinary skills, he is already at the fifth rank at a young age, and he is also a person with a bright future.If Yang Xuan can decide on this person, if the Yang family is not close to Prince Su, it can be regarded as a real high marriage.

Xiao Tong was silent after hearing this, but he just hoped that he could let go of his heart earlier and have a happy married life. Since He Chao can be selected by Yang Zhifu, he must be good in all aspects. The two of them have no pimples in their hearts, and they will be fine.

But I can only hope so, after all, the world of feelings cannot be controlled by others.

"You only found out today that Mr. Yang is interested in you, right? You are always so slow." Back in the study, Qiyou poured her a cup of tea and said.

"Yes, I only guessed a few points today. I never thought about it before, and I didn't pay attention to it. Maybe it was the last time." Xiao Tong can only think of this after thinking about it.

"I'm afraid it's because you're slow, I looked at him as if he just started." Qiyou didn't ask what happened last time, and it's inconvenient to say, otherwise Xiao Tong would say it all at once.

"No, you don't know. I heard that I liked him very much before I lost my memory. If he really liked me then, we...you know." Xiao Tong denied his statement.

"Really?" Qi You didn't continue this topic, but he knew in his heart that Yang Xuan might be the same as himself, and only fell in love with her after she lost her memory.Looking at her natural expression, she felt a little grateful that she was dull, but also a little helpless. She didn't know how different she was before and after, and how attractive she is now.

Of course, this is the best!Qi You couldn't help being secretly happy in his heart, looking at Xiao Tong who started to work seriously again, his eyes were full of doting.

Two days later, Qiyou left Zaitong, he had to go back to see the emperor's husband, it would not be good to delay it any longer.Qiyou is very reluctant to part, and Xiao Tong is also reluctant. For several months, he has been by her side. As long as she looks for it, the person who appears in her eyes will leave. It is normal to be reluctant and not used to it.

But I also know that even if he leaves for a while, they can think about the future between them.

The next day, she got the news that Maoling was attacked, and fought for three days. Because of the gap between the number of fighters and the value of force, Maoling was defeated, and Qi State also won miserably, losing many generals.

This is due to Mo Li's use of tactics. If not, Maoling would have been wiped out and captured by the entire army. After this battle, although he was defeated, Mo Li's prestige was raised to a higher level. Those who already admired him admired him even more, and those who were not convinced at first were already convinced.

In this way, Maoling's army has unprecedented unity, and its execution power has also risen sharply, making it more difficult for Qi to attack Maoling.

After the First World War, the next half-month of health and rest was a tacit understanding between the two sides. The Qi army, which was supposed to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, did not dare to act rashly after seeing the power of Mo Li's strategy. Countermeasures.

This time Qi State leads the army is Qi Hua Ying, the second princess Qi Huaying who is most likely to take over the throne. Many systems of Qi State are different from those of Yan State. It depends on the individual's ability to fight for it.The current empress does not even have an imperial concubine, because Qi State once had a foreign relative who was too powerful, interfered in political affairs and was almost taken over. In order to avoid such a thing from happening again, a rule was specially set. It has been guaranteed that their family has only a few decades of prosperity to prevent them from having unwanted thoughts and desires.

And the men of the state of Qi do not have the same hierarchical status as that of the country of Yan. Their status is all vain, and it is really useful only if they are favored by the queen.Qi Huaying's father was only a nobleman until his death, but at that time he was exercising the power of an imperial concubine. With such a capable father, and because he was already excellent, Qi Huaying is now very popular in Qi State. Influential, she has been regarded as a hidden princess, but she is still a little short of time, and this time she goes out in person, which also means to gild herself.

Qi State's attack failed last time, and Qi State was shocked by the news. After several months of preparation, Qi State dispatched troops again. This time, Qi State dispatched one-third of the country's troops. Negligence, Maoling, who she thought should be easily taken down, made her suffer a lot.

She is calm and knows the root cause of this. During the half month of recuperation, she recruited soldiers who understand strategy in the barracks, hoping to come up with countermeasures to deal with their strategies in the next battle. At this time They still dare not think of how to deal with it. First, they are not able to come up with good strategies, and second, they do not have such awareness.

On the Maoling side, the recovery was pretty good. Those disabled soldiers were not in a serious condition and had already recovered their fighting ability. This was also due to Sima Ling's medical skills and the goji berry sent by Xiao Tong. Because the quantity was sufficient, the medicine The effect is also good, and many wounded soldiers who lost too much blood or were physically weak recovered quickly.

These wounded soldiers were even more terrifying on the battlefield, and they played a pivotal role in subsequent battles.

After one battle after another was fought, all the soldiers knew about Xiao Tong, because of the goji berries, many people were grateful. In the later years, Xiao Tong gained a lot of convenience, and because of this, Xiao Tong had never expected such a result at this time.

Half a month later, Qi State attacked again. This battle lasted for two days, and Maoling won!
Apart from Mo Li's strategy, it was because Prince Su had brought soldiers from other places to support him. With Prince Su and Mo Li, Maoling was like a tiger with wings added, and Qi was defeated!
In May of the 17th year of Xiao Yuan, Qi State attacked twice again. It seemed that they were driven into a hurry. Ling lost twice in a row, and Qi Guo also perfectly interpreted the meaning of the word "miserable victory".

In the low pressure in the Qi State military camp, Qi Huaying's face became darker day by day, and the soldiers became more silent every day. In this low pressure, because of Maoling's unexpected counterattack, the pressure dropped again.

They were defeated, and Mo Li's unpredictable strategy and unexpected counterattack completely disrupted their position, and they had no choice but to retreat in the end. In this way, Mao Ling won a real victory in this contest with Qi.
