Mrs. Leisurely

Chapter 37
After Zhong Liyu regained Seoul, he worked hard for three full days before he finished rectifying the city. Although it could not be restored to the state before the war, Zhong Liyu had tried his best to settle the refugees.At sunset that day, Zhong Liyu summoned all the generals to discuss the plan to take back the next city.The next city from Seoul is the domain city sandwiched between Ningcheng and Seoul. There is Yang Qi's 30 troops. Before setting up an ambush between Seoul and Yincheng, Yang Qi's nearly 30 troops were wiped out. The soldiers and horses he lost by capturing four cities in a row, now there should be only 30 troops left.Zhong Liyu led 40 elite royal soldiers, plus Yincheng already had tens of thousands of soldiers defending the city, plus the soldiers who had retreated from the previous defeat, there were also 20 soldiers.It shouldn't be a problem to take back Yucheng, but I got the news yesterday that King Xiyuan has sent the former Dongling Town Nanwang Zhan Tianyi to come, and within three days, he should be able to reach Yucheng, and he brought [-] soldiers and horses, Therefore, before Zhan Tianyi arrived, he had to take back Yucheng and destroy some of Yang Qi's troops.

"Now that Seoul has been rectified, we must take back Yucheng before Zhan Tianyi reaches Yucheng." Zhong Liyu said in a deep voice.

"Follow the prince's instructions in everything." After the last battle in Seoul, the generals admired Zhong Liyu even more, and now, they obeyed his arrangements without reservation.

Zhong Liyu nodded, as if he didn't need to follow their advice, he was certain to win this battle, and he knew it well.He began to assign tasks to the soldiers in detail, and the arrangements were very appropriate.When he finished arranging the task, it was already dark.

"Everyone, take a good rest in the first half of the night, and leave on time at midnight tonight." Zhong Liyu said in a warm voice.

"Yes, the lord also rests earlier." The soldiers took orders and left.

Zhong Liyu sat quietly in the meeting hall by himself, closed his eyes, probably because he had been exhausted for the past few days, and soon he could breathe evenly.

Lihun walked in, looked at his young master who was sitting and sleeping, and sighed helplessly. Starting from the capital, he kept on driving day and night. Never had a good rest.How can the body cope with such a rush?He brought a thin blanket and covered him lightly. Although it was already summer, it was still a bit cold at night.

There was still a quarter of an hour before Zishi, when Li Hun walked in, wanting to see if Zhong Liyu had woken up, he didn't know if it was because he heard footsteps, or because he realized that the time had come, Zhong Liyu woke up.

"Is everyone ready?" Zhong Liyu looked up at Lihun.

"It's all ready, just wait for the son's order."

"Ah."

Zhong Liyu walked to the gate of the city with a brisk pace, and there was a crowd of soldiers waiting in line, Zhong Liyu nodded in satisfaction.

"Brothers, we will definitely take back the domain city tonight, let's go." Zhongli Yu said loudly.

"Yes." All the soldiers answered in unison, the voice was like thunder, shaking people's hearts. This is a powerful army, and they are full of confidence.

After an hour of rushing, Zhong Liyu and the others arrived at Yucheng. Obviously, the enemy was well prepared and did not panic about their arrival. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses fought bravely, with swords in hand and blood flowing Chenghe, in this battle, many passionate youths were buried here. According to historical records, the battle of Yucheng was more fierce than the previous battles, and countless soldiers died in this battle.

With Dongling's [-] troops and Zhong Liyu's strategizing, Xiyuan is doomed to be defeated.

In this battle, Xiyuan suffered heavy losses. Yang Qi saw the strength of the elite soldiers of the Dongling Royal Army, and couldn't help feeling chills in his heart. Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly withdrew his troops to Ningcheng. So far, Dongling has regained another city.

Zhong Liyu ordered people to take advantage of the victory and pursue them all the way to Ningcheng. Yang Qi's 30 troops suffered numerous injuries and were unable to fight any more, so they could only continue to retreat. Zhong Liyu successfully recaptured another city.

Zhong Liyu looked at the sun that had risen to the mid-heaven. It was already noon, and the soldiers had been fighting for six full hours. It must have been exhausting, so he had to order people to stop in Ningcheng to recuperate, and then take back Wangcheng after resting.As long as Wangcheng is captured again, all the lost cities can be regained. At that time, the Xiyuan thieves will be beaten back to Xiyuan and forced to write a letter of surrender. This battle will be over. Thinking of this, Zhong Liyu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, It seemed that victory was at hand.Eyes, involuntarily, looked towards the direction of the capital again, there was his unrelenting concern there, wondering how she is doing now?Soon, it's time to go back, he lowered his head, concealed the thoughts in his eyes, and walked slowly into Ningcheng General Military Mansion.

The soldiers were very excited after winning the battle, especially the elite royal soldiers. They have been training under Zhong Liyu for many years. This is the first time they have been on the battlefield. It seems that these years of training have been very effective.Those who survived were lucky. Fortunately, they didn't slack off during the training, otherwise they would have lost their lives today. They discovered for the first time that the battlefield is where the real risk is.After this time, the surviving soldiers all deeply realized that only if they are strong enough can they be qualified to live, because they are soldiers, soldiers who defend their home and country.

The news of Zhongliyu's recapture of the two cities in the first battle quickly spread back to the capital. The people of Dongling cheered endlessly, and some even lit firecrackers and set off firecrackers in front of their houses. It will bring them misfortune, they only know that Xi Yuan cannot defeat Tang Ling.

In Prince Chun's mansion, Zhanyan who received the news was also in a great mood. Although this was the result she had expected a long time ago, she knew that as long as he was the one to go out, there would be no reason for him to fail, but when he actually received the news of his victory, I was still very happy.At this moment, she is proud, proud that she married such a husband.When she calmed down, she realized that he had been away for more than ten days. She tried her best to restrain herself and not let herself think about him. She tried her best to find something to do and enrich herself as much as possible. First, she went to play chess, eat and chat with grandpa. , Later, she dealt with the affairs of Prince Chun's Mansion, then understood everything about Leisurely Pavilion, and then dealt with her own affairs. In short, she kept herself busy and hardly let herself be free during the day. She was afraid that once she was free, she would not be able to restrain herself. She kept thinking about him, wanted to go to the border town to find him, but she didn't know when he was already so important in her heart.

Every day, she kept herself busy and fell asleep when she was tired, but only she knew that when she dreamed back in the middle of the night and woke up in the middle of the night, her thoughts about him flooded like a tide, out of control.At this moment, she can only wait, waiting for his safe return, as long as he is safe, everything will be fine.

In Ningcheng, the soldiers who had won the battle were very excited, with smiles on their faces.Zhong Liyu ordered the National People's Congress to hold a banquet to celebrate the recapture of two cities by Dongling soldiers. The whole army celebrated together, and the banquet lasted until midnight.After the banquet was over, Zhong Liyu walked slowly into his accommodation in Ningcheng General Military Mansion.Before entering the room, he raised his head and took a deep look in the direction of the capital. Only he knew how much he missed his wife in this dead of night, how she smiled gently at him, and how much he wanted to be with her. Little things together, I don't know how she is doing well in the palace, is there anyone who makes things difficult for her?
