restaurant.
"Zhai Jingxuan" waited for a long time but no one came. Gradually, the attitude of the waiter and the store owner changed. They said that if she ate and no one came to pay, she would have to stay in the kitchen to wash dishes. Ten taels of silver, and she would have to wash dishes for three years!
"Zhai Jingxuan"'s eyes darkened, and she began to regret why she hadn't taken off Shangguan Qingyue's little shoes to pay for the silver. That little girl must have forgotten about it when she got home! !
Just as he was feeling regretful, a tall man came to the door. He was dressed in casual clothes but had a very impressive aura. The man asked as soon as he entered, "Do you have a man here who owes you eleven taels of silver?"
The waiter's grin narrowed again. He glanced back at the disheveled "Zhai Jingxuan" and replied, "Sir, we don't have any men who owe eleven taels of silver, but we do have a woman who does..."
The man frowned when he heard this. That’s not right. His Highness said it was a man!
The man waved his hand and turned away, "That's not it!"
"Sir..."
The waiter reached out to call him, but the man walked too fast and disappeared in a flash.
The waiter and "Zhai Jingxuan" who had not yet reacted looked at each other in bewilderment.
After a while, "Zhai Jingxuan" closed her eyes, tears of regret rolling into her heart.
How could he forget this!
"Zhai Jingxuan" made a mistake that brought him eternal regret. When he finally begged the shopkeeper to take him to the inn to ask for money, Zhao Ying and Shangguan Qingyue were gone.
Zhao Ying and Zhao Xi had a big quarrel, and Zhao Xi left Dali with a few guards overnight. So the next morning, only Zhao Ying set out with 20,000 troops.
Zhao Ying also brought Shangguan Qingyue along. The little guy was very tired these two days and slept a lot. Zhao Ying carried him into the carriage while he was sleeping.
It was three days later when the army marched to the northern border of Myanmar.
Zhao Ying, holding Shangguan Qingyue, Wen Ruhai, Liang Su, and several deputy generals, stood on a high place, looking at the turbulent Canglan River below. Behind them was the army's temporary camp.
Shangguan Qingyue exclaimed, "Wow!" "What a huge river!"
"Mom, are there durians across the river?" Shangguan Qingyue looked up and asked expectantly.
Zhao Ying nodded and patted the little guy's head, "Yes."
Then he said to Liang Su, "General Liang, map!"
Liang Su presented the blueprint respectfully. Several deputy generals beside him looked at each other with some contempt, as if they were doubting whether Zhao Ying, a woman living in the deep palace, could understand the military map.
Everyone has their own ulterior motives, but they all share one common thought:
How can a woman fight? Nonsense!
Wen Ruhai has discussed with Liang Su and others that they should obey Zhao Ying's orders during this expedition. They should not disobey or despise her just because she has no experience or achievements. After all, she bears all the responsibility.
We must also defeat the Burmese!
So when she makes a mistake, they will take back the military power. The credit will be theirs and the mistake will be Zhao Ying's.
The group of people had good ideas, but unfortunately, they met Zhao Ying.
An undiscovered, natural, fighting seedling.
Zhao Ying lowered her head to look at the topographic map she had memorized so well in her mind. The simple, abstract landscape on the map became three-dimensional and lifelike before her eyes. At first glance, it seemed incredibly vivid, and the more she looked, the more excited she became...
So, Zhao Ying came prepared.
She pointed to the Canglan River on the map. The river seemed to have an endless end, but there was a mountain not far away, through which the river flowed. The most difficult part of attacking the Burmese was not anything else but crossing the river!
After they prepared a boat to cross the river, if the Burmese army surrounded them on the other side of the river, it would be as easy as catching a turtle in a jar.
But if we go over the mountain, the terrain is steep and it will be very laborious.
For the Burmese army, the problems they encountered were exactly the same as those of the Great Chu. However, the Great Chu was located at a high altitude and was in a dominant position, which even gave it some advantages over the Burmese army. Therefore, the Burmese army and the Great Chu had always avoided fighting.
Liang Su asked, "Your Highness, are you going to cross the river or the mountain?"
Zhao Ying's slender fingertips slid along the Canglan River, straight to the back of the mountain. "A tributary of the Canglan River flows through the mountain to the Burmese capital..."
Everyone came over, even Shangguan Qingyue stood on tiptoe to look over.
Wen Ruhai: "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
"If we divert the river upstream and send it all to the Burmese capital, and if it happens to be the rainy season..." Zhao Ying smiled wickedly and ordered, "Ten thousand men will be sent day and night to divert the water from the valley to the Canglan River!"
After saying that, Zhao Ying picked up Shangguan Qingyue and carried him back to the tent.
Shangguan Qingyue's eyes twitched. [Mom, you need rain? Then I'll give you a torrential downpour like never before, hehe!]
At the same place, Liang Su and others looked at the drawings silently.
Deputy General Wang Yue was puzzled, "How could she come up with such a wicked plan? She wants to flood the Burmese capital. Does she want to turn the Burmese king into a water turtle?"
Ba Hao pinched his jaw, glanced at the map, then at the actual scene. The more he looked, the brighter his eyes became. He sighed, "I've studied border maps for so many years, and how come I didn't think of such a permanent solution!"
Wu Hongwu sighed, "This is what we call winning without bloodshed..."
Several people soon fell into silence.
It was not until Liang Su collected the drawings and ordered people to dig trenches and change the route.
The Burmese Royal Palace.
"Your Majesty, according to spies, the Chu army has reached the Canglan River and will likely reach our border someday!"
The Burmese king scoffed, "Don't worry, I've already sent troops to the border to encircle and suppress the Chu army. Haha, I really don't know if the Chu emperor was kicked in the head by a donkey to let a princess lead the troops. You and I will just wait for the battle report of the Chu army's defeat!"
"Hahahaha..." The entire palace burst into laughter.
The Prime Minister stroked his beard and laughed, "Although Myanmar is a tiny nation, it is not to be arbitrarily bullied. Princess Chu is so shameless as to ask us to offer the holy durian fruit as an offering. Such an arrogant tone! It's time to let them know the strength of Myanmar!"
