Leftover Girl Crossing: King Leng's Stand-in Concubine

Chapter 292
Qingqing just sat quietly and watched Murong Jin review the military books and kept looking at the parchment map. Murong Jin suddenly pointed to a place that seemed to be raised and asked Qingqing, "Qingqing, we are now far away from the canyon. It's very close, if the enemy army occupies this high ground, our army's life may be in danger."

Qingqing asked him, "Then why didn't the prince go and occupy that high ground first?"

Murong Jin said helplessly, "In the previous battle, the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain caused our army to suffer heavy losses. This time when the son-in-law returns, he hopes that he can remind the emperor to send troops to support as soon as possible."

Qingqing tentatively asked, "Is this battle difficult?"

Murong Jin nodded and said, "Actually, when I set off on the expedition, I felt that the chances of winning were not great. The Western Chu Kingdom has been eyeing the territory of the Central Plains all these years. They have been recruiting troops all these years. In the previous few battles, the generals sent by the emperor all died in battle. The battlefield, so it also boosted the morale of the Western Chu Kingdom."

Originally, Murong Jin was unwilling to talk to Qingqing about the battlefield, but he was just an ordinary person. In this precarious environment, he had suffered defeat and was somewhat unknown about the future. Although he knew that Qingqing couldn't help He, but he can talk to her, and his heavy heart can also be eased.

Suddenly, Murong Jin felt that he and Qingqing could talk to each other.

Hearing what Murong Jin said, it is naturally very difficult for a man as wise and calm as he to say such words, so he asked, "Then what is the situation now? Will the emperor send troops?"

Murong Jin said, "After the last battle, although our army suffered a disastrous defeat, they did not gain much and lost a lot of soldiers and horses. The spies sent there reported that there was a plague in the barracks over there, so we went west for the time being. The Chu army did not move, but I was afraid that this was their trick to lure the enemy, so I didn’t dare to act rashly. They were too quiet this time, which made people feel very abnormal.”
