"The wounds on my face were all caused by you, Ayu. Hurry up."

Once the comfortable spiritual energy on his face gradually dissipated, Chishui Fenglong knew that the wounds on his face had healed.

He lowered his head and leaned down, then approached the crimson flesh he had longed for.

For the past few days, he had been searching for cold iron for sword-making on the icy plains, unable to get close to it at all. Now, he could finally express his desire without restraint.

His breath and skin seemed to be filled with a faint, subtle fragrance, which acted as a fuse, making the fire in his heart burn even more fiercely.

Chishui Fenglong pressed his ear tightly against the heart, listening to the rapid heartbeat, and then asked in a hoarse voice.

"Why does it sometimes not smell like peach blossoms?"

Tang Yu smiled, her eyes filled with affection, captivating all who beheld her.

"Is your nose like a dog's? You just change your scent occasionally."

Chishui Fenglong buried his head in the crook of her neck and couldn't help but laugh.

"Is it the kind of fragrance your daughter uses? Let me try it too."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yu tilted her head back and gently kissed the other person's ear.

"Then you'd better behave better today."

The person beneath him was graceful and beautiful, like a blooming flower. Chishui Fenglong smiled, then gently yet firmly carried her into the layers of hazy curtains.

In an instant, a blush spread across her face, and her temples were soaked with sweat.

And so, the spring scenery continues to be beautiful.

The next day, Tang Yu saw a letter from Xiao Yao; the sender had already left.

It wasn't until three months later that Xiao Yao returned.

At this time, the situation in the world had undergone tremendous changes.

After marrying into a clan in the Central Plains, Cangxuan began to fight even more fiercely with the Five Kings and Seven Kings in the imperial court.

I watched the plot carefully, and it seems that without Tu Shan Jing's money and supplies, neither Cang Xuan nor Chen Rong's army could survive and develop.

After some deduction, I concluded that Chen Rong's army had no choice but to launch a preemptive strike, otherwise they would run out of supplies. According to my calculations, the war would have to start earlier than planned.

I have no problem with Xiang Liu, but I feel that unless I travel back in time to when he was in the arena and save him, his ending is definitely death, because writing about him surrendering would be an insult to him.

Chapter 14 Longing 14

"If a war breaks out, it feels like Qingshui Town will become a battlefield."

After Xiao Yao returned, she said this worriedly, and Tang Yu nodded.

"Your brother, Cangxuan, is quite capable. He has stirred up the Western Yan court into chaos so quickly, but it's mainly because of your maternal grandfather's support."

"Perhaps they all have the ambition to unify the world, which is why my maternal grandfather valued Cangxuan so highly. What should we do now? Leave Qingshui Town?"

When Xiao Yao returned to Qingshui Town, she was mainly reluctant to leave and wanted to spend her life with her old friend, since her life was very long anyway.

But plans can't keep up with changes. Chen Rongjun is nearby, and things are definitely not going to be peaceful from now on.

"In the past, Chen Rongjun secretly colluded with those Central Plains clans to buy grain and fodder. The surrendered forces would also provide some grain and fodder, which was enough to barely sustain their survival."

If the political situation changes, these Central Plains clans will immediately become self-preserving and stop providing supplies. Then where will Chenrong Army get its supplies? That's tens of thousands of people!

An army without provisions will surely mutinied, so they will definitely go out to buy provisions. If the imperial court sends troops to besiege them at this time, and they cannot replenish their supplies, a major battle will inevitably break out.

Throughout his long life, Tang Yu had become quite skilled in military campaigns.

For an army, weapons and equipment are not even the most important thing; food and supplies are the foundation of life.

Historical experience tells us that soldiers with weapons, once they run out of supplies, will inevitably loot and plunder surrounding towns and villages, and will certainly steal food from the people.

If the surrounding people have no food and encounter natural disasters or man-made calamities, then the army can only eat each other's corpses and begin to kill each other.

This was the situation during the chaotic Three Kingdoms period. As the fighting progressed, natural disasters, man-made calamities, and plagues continued. Even with weapons, it was difficult to find enough food, so many armies eventually resorted to cannibalism.

There is only one army in the world that can be disciplined and care for the people, but only the army led by that person can do it.

Therefore, if Chen Rong's army does not receive supplies, one can easily imagine the bleak future that awaits them.

"Good advice is hard to persuade a damned ghost. You've lived here for so many years, so you have an obligation to inform them that Qingshui Town is very dangerous and suggest that they leave. That should be enough."

If they still don't want to leave, that's their own fate, and outsiders can't interfere. Let's go sightseeing instead.

They can fight for at most a few decades, then they can come back.

Tang Yu directly used an array to seal off the manor he had painstakingly built, and would return after the battle was over.

Xiao Yao also used an array to seal off the medical school she had built, and then told the people of Qingshui Town to leave as soon as possible.

She began to travel the world with her apprentices.

Instead of staying in Qingshui Town to teach apprentices, it would be better to travel around healing the sick and saving lives, and to teach apprentices through practical experience. In any case, Xiao Yao is determined to have students all over the world in this lifetime.

Therefore, Tang Yu and Xiao Yao eventually separated.

Being a doctor wasn't Tang Yu's passion. In the world of immortals with spiritual power, many secret realms held all sorts of treasures.

Therefore, Tang Yu was very interested in the hidden places of this world and devoted himself to playing in different places.

Xiao Yao, on the other hand, devoted herself to leading her apprentices to various villages to treat the sick and save lives.

As the saying goes, "Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles." When it comes to healing and saving lives, staying in one place makes it difficult to improve oneself and also prevents apprentices from making progress in their medical skills.

This kind of travel around the world is the true way to teach and spread medical knowledge.

Meanwhile, a chaotic war broke out in the Central Plains.

The five kings and seven kings wanted to get rid of Cangxuan, while Cangxuan painstakingly trained his army in order to seize military power, and the two sides fought each other endlessly.

Xiang Liu took advantage of the internal strife to develop Chen Rong Army and launch an attack, hoping to acquire cities and land for development.

Therefore, the five kings and seven kings pushed Cangxuan out to deal with Chenrong's army, wanting the two to kill each other.

Cangxuan knew this was a killing move, but it was his only chance.

If he can win and achieve merit, the future political situation in the court will completely favor him.

Tang Yu and Chishui Fenglong would meet several times a year. Sometimes Tang Yu would be out having fun and Chishui Fenglong would come to visit her, and sometimes she would come to Chishui Fenglong's place.

The situation in the Central Plains region has changed dramatically in recent years, so the affairs of the Chishui Fenglong family have increased, and now they have even had to go to the battlefield.

We can't let the Central Plains be destroyed by war, so the Chishui family must participate in the war.

"Has the Chishui family sided with Cangxuan?"

Because of the need to deal with Chenrong Army, Chishui Fenglong has now become one of the generals, working with Cangxuan to fight against Chenrong Army.

"This is not about taking sides, but a choice made out of necessity. The Central Plains region has always been governed by my father, but now the Chenrong army has risen to power, has already captured two cities, and has been developing for several years."

If our Central Plains clans stand idly by and let Cangxuan deal with Chenrong Army alone, the Chishui clan will be seen as having rebellious intentions and will be even more suspected by the court.

Besides, the Central Plains is the foundation of my family; I had no other choice.

"Now I finally understand why you, Ayu, yearn for a carefree life. Sometimes, circumstances force you to make a choice."

Tang Yu looked at the more mature and composed person in front of her and pulled him to sit down.

"You look so tired, let's spar again tomorrow."

Chishui Fenglong simply hugged the person next to him and lay down on the bed.

"I feel so tired. Let's lie down and talk. I have so much to say."

"What's wrong? You're usually so energetic, why do you look so tired this time?"

Chishui Fenglong pondered the situation in the Central Plains over the past few years, then turned to the person next to him and asked.

"I used to think that war was about deciding the outcome of battles with force on the battlefield, using sophisticated formations and powerful armies to fight against the enemy."

This will determine the battlefield situation and lead to a decisive victory.

However, Cangxuan saw through Chen Rongjun's weakness and only intended to adopt a defensive approach, waiting for Chen Rongjun to collapse from within.

I believe this approach can indeed maximize the chances of the army winning, which is perhaps why I can only become a general.

"Sometimes, warfare is about the big picture, and I was too naive before."

These words made Tang Yu laugh out loud. She turned around and kissed the forehead of the person in front of her.

"This shows that you've matured, which isn't a bad thing."

"So Ayu also saw Chen Rongjun's problem?"

To the people of the world, Chenrong Army had captured two more cities, seemingly showing signs of a resurgence and a possibility of successfully restoring the kingdom.

However, the reality is that after occupying two cities and regaining land and people, the biggest problem now is managing the crisis.

Governing this area well, collecting taxes, and ensuring the army has food and drink are extremely troublesome problems.

"Fenglong, today I will teach you a military strategy: when besieging an enemy, leave an opening..."

The strategy of "leaving a gap when besieging an army" can also be called "leaving one gap when besieging three," which is a brilliant tactic in military strategy.

If the remnants of the army are surrounded on all sides and driven into a corner, leaving them with no way out, it will only make them more united and determined to fight to the death with the enemy.

However, if only three sides are surrounded, leaving one gap, then this group will see a glimmer of hope for survival and will no longer have the courage to fight to the death.

"The remnants of Chenrong's army had nowhere to go before and could only hide in the mountains. At that time, food and drink were scarce and their lives were in danger at any moment. The army could only become more united and fight the enemy with all its might!"

However, although Chen Rong's army had captured two cities and gained land and population in the past few years, which excited them, it also made them complacent.

"To govern this area well, civil officials are indispensable. Managing such a large population requires people to collect taxes, people to maintain order, and people to manage warehouses. Civil officials are needed at every level."

Almost all the civil officials are with your powerful families. Therefore, the civil service system of Chenrong Army is in complete chaos, with corruption at all levels. Who embezzles more or less depends entirely on their position.

Once people have abundant food and clothing, greed is bound to grow, which will lead to injustice between superiors and subordinates and eventually dissatisfaction!

In the past, Chen Rongjun and his men were a group of brothers who had nowhere else to turn, but now they have become enemies with conflicting interests. Over the years, some people have been able to marry and have children, while others, due to poverty or insufficient connections, have been unable to do so. These are all contradictions!

Therefore, in just a few years, Chen Rongjun will fall apart internally. Brothers can share hardships, but they cannot share wealth.

It's impossible for Hongjiang and Xiangliu to ensure that everyone can marry and have children, and that everyone is well-fed and clothed, because in a situation where resources are abundant and plentiful, some people will inevitably gain more benefits than others.

If the two sides go to war in a few years, will those married men with children fight to the death? They will definitely surrender; that's the inevitable outcome.
