Mrs. Leisurely

Chapter 34 Arriving at Yincheng
Zhanyan stayed at the old prince's place until after dinner, and then returned to Lixiangyuan to rest, and the day passed like this.While she was accompanying the old man, why wasn't the old man accompanying her? At this moment, she was as lonely as him and missed that person as much, but they didn't say anything.

News from the border towns kept coming back. It was heard that Yang Qi had broken through four cities in a row and was now rectifying in Seoul, preparing to continue attacking Yincheng the next day.On this day, after six days of traveling day and night, Zhong Liyu finally arrived at Yincheng, which had not yet been captured.

For several days in a row, Zhanyan went to have dinner with the old prince almost every day. They hardly mentioned the war. Only they themselves know that the worries in their hearts have only increased.

When Zhong Liyu arrived in Yincheng, it was already dark. He knew that Seoul had been occupied by the enemy and could not move forward, so he had to stop and organize his team, preparing to take back the lost city. The 30 troops have all undergone rigorous training, and they are all soldiers carefully selected by Zhong Liyu, and several lieutenants were also promoted by Zhong Liyu himself.

Liu An, the leader of Yincheng, waited at the city gate with his people. When he saw Zhong Liyu coming with soldiers and horses, he finally felt relieved. After all, the enemy broke through four cities in a row. He was not sure that he could hold Yincheng. Seeing him now Seeing Zhong Liyu, as if seeing a savior, his voice trembled with excitement, "Prince Chun, I'm looking forward to you."

"Thank you, General." Zhong Liyu said lightly.

"My lord has worked hard, please come inside my lord."

Zhong Liyu nodded.

"Take a rest tonight and prepare for battle tomorrow." Zhong Liyu said in a deep voice.

"Yes, my lord." The soldiers shouted, taking Zhong Liyu's words as an imperial decree.

Early the next morning, Zhong Liyu summoned all the generals to the meeting hall to discuss countermeasures.

"All follow the instructions of the prince." In front of King Chun, they did not dare to fight against each other. They only found out a few days ago that Zhong Liyu was actually the commander of the royal elite soldiers. This news almost shocked the world.In the past, I only heard that King Chun was very talented, unmatched in Dongling, and he was unwilling to participate in the government. The king's repeated persuasion was ineffective, so he had to give up. I never thought that King Chun was actually the commander of the elite soldiers of the royal family, training 30 elite soldiers.

Seeing that everyone was like this, Zhong Liyu was not humble, so he arranged the battle according to his own plan. After hearing his arrangement, the generals all secretly admired him.But half an hour later, the battle had been arranged, and the generals accepted the arrangement with an attitude of absolute obedience, thinking that they could fight back a victory and regain their own land.

Zhong Liyu came out of the meeting hall. The soldiers were all dressed up and stood vigorously, waiting for orders. Zhong Liyu nodded in satisfaction.

"Brothers, raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. The bandits in Xiyuan have broken through the four cities of Dongling, and they are trying to occupy our land in Dongling. We will never agree to it. Behind us are thousands of ordinary people in Dongling , so we must not shrink back. From this moment on, our fate will no longer be our own, but the lives of thousands of people in Dongling. , it's up to us." Zhongli Yu said loudly.

"Never say never, never say never..." the soldiers said in unison.

"Okay, let's go in the direction of Seoul." Zhong Liyu gave an order, and the soldiers rushed forward and went straight to Seoul.

And Yang Qi, who was preparing to attack Yincheng today, had already set off. As Zhong Liyu expected, he encountered the enemy on the way.Yang Qi brought 30 soldiers and horses, and Xiyuan broke through four cities in a row, boosting morale. Seeing that Zhong Liyu only brought [-] soldiers and horses, his confidence doubled.

"Brothers, kill me and break through Yincheng in one fell swoop." Yang Qi shouted loudly.

At this time, Zhong Liyu had already sent someone to set up an ambush, waiting for Yang Qi's people to come.Yang Qi never expected that Zhong Liyu had just arrived in Yincheng last night, so he would be able to set up an ambush here so soon. He thought that Zhong Liyu had just arrived and the army had not been reorganized, so he would be caught off guard.It's a pity that Zhong Liyu is not an ordinary person. He can think of things that others have never thought of. In this battle, Yang Qi is destined to end in failure against Zhong Liyu.

The news that King Chun defeated Yang Qi and recaptured Seoul in the first battle spread back to the capital within a day. Everyone in the capital rushed to announce the good news.The people were very excited, and they all happily talked about the good news when they met, as if the Xiyuan people had been driven out of Dongling.

The hanging heart of King Dongling also became much more at ease.

In Lixiangyuan, when Zhanyan heard the news, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, and her heart finally fell back a little. She should believe that he is not an ordinary man, and there is nothing he can't do.Winning battles is a matter of course.

Zhanyan hurriedly walked to the courtyard where the old prince was, the smile on the corner of his mouth was not put away.

"Girl, I'm glad you're happy." The old prince gave Zhanyan a loving look, he himself was overjoyed.

"Grandpa, just laugh when you're happy, don't hold back." Zhanyan said happily.

"Smelly girl, you're already making fun of grandpa." The old prince knocked her on the head.

"Grandpa, do you dare to say that you are unhappy?" Zhanyan gave him a sideways look with a cute expression on his face.

"Haha, I'm happy." The old prince finally couldn't help it, and laughed out loud.

"Grandpa, let's add more food tonight." Zhan Yan said happily.

"Okay, add more vegetables, add more vegetables, you can do whatever you want." The old prince smiled all over his face and treated Zhanyan like his own granddaughter.

"Qingyun, did you hear that? Hurry up and give orders." Zhanyan looked back at Qingyun.

"Yes, Miss." Qingyun cheerfully responded, with a constant smile on her face.

As for Seoul, Zhong Liyu had just taken back Seoul, and was busy rectifying it, so busy.It was not until late at night that they returned to the camp to rest.When I calmed down, I began to miss my wife deeply.It has been seven days since she left the capital. I don't know if she misses him. They have been married for a month and have never been separated. This time, I don't know when this war will end and go back to reunite with her.

Zhong Liyu was exhausted, but he still couldn't fall asleep. He stood in front of the tent, staring fixedly at the direction of the capital, thinking of the woman who made him fall in love with him.He didn't know when he began to fall in love with her, as if that feeling had been planted in his heart for a long, long time.

Maybe it started from the afternoon when I met her for the first time; maybe it started from that time when I sneaked to Orchid Courtyard to watch her pick pears; maybe it started from when he followed her secretly and saw her taking in poor homeless people ;Maybe it started when I saw her help the trafficked girl escape from the brothel; anyway, he didn't know when it started, he had already let her live in his heart, and he couldn't get rid of it.
