Chapter 215: Almost Being Calculated
The courtyard became quiet and no one dared to come anymore.
Although Yuwen You was busy going on the expedition as soon as possible, he still visited Xue Jiaer every day and finally took her with him.
After everyone left, Zhou Jirou was called into the palace by Queen Tianyao.
"I heard that he took Zhao Jing's new bride with him to the northern expedition without even performing the proper ceremony. How disrespectful! Why didn't you stop him?" the queen lectured.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already instructed us about this matter. He brought her along not out of favor, but because she has some abilities." Zhou Jirou replied hurriedly.
"What skill? The skill to charm the master?"
"That's not the case. It's for the Northern Expedition. Your Highness didn't tell me the specific capabilities." Zhou Jirou told the queen according to what Yuwen You taught her.
"I'd like to see what use it is! When he comes back, I will ask him. If he is a cunning guy, I will deal with him. You don't have to worry! These things picked up on the roadside can't be any good stuff!" The queen was very disdainful.
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Zhou Jirou replied.
She spoke and acted very appropriately, as if she was born to be a queen.
Before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left, he also lived in her courtyard. Although nothing happened between the two of them, she knew that it was because he felt safe and secure living in her courtyard.
She looked down on those girls from poor families. No matter how capable they were, she knew that her position would remain unshakable.
When he set out, Yuwen Youxian only brought 10,000 of his personal guards to the north.
Only half of the baggage was brought.
The deputy general in charge of baggage transport in the army was very worried, thinking that Yuwen You was taking a risky move in order to hurry.
However, he didn't know that Xue Jiaer wanted him to take only one-third, and this one-third was just to cover up his tracks.
But Yuwen You was also a cautious person. Although he saw Xue Jiaer collect a room full of weapons and a warehouse full of food in an instant, he still chose to take half of them.
Xue Jiaer knew his concerns. He put everything on her. If she became arrogant and wanted to control him, he would definitely rather destroy herself than let her go.
Lou Xinhui's punishment was for her to see.
So she always kept her head down, acted cautiously, and didn't talk much.
But soon, Xue Jiaer discovered that people are different, very different.
Mo Beiyuan often used tactics in battles to minimize the losses of his own people, and sometimes he could even win without fighting.
However, Yuwen You had no combat experience and only knew how to order his troops to charge forward and fight the enemy head-on, using a method that would hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt his own army by eight hundred.
The people in the north are tall and strong, and if they fight in hand-to-hand combat, the Tianyao people will not gain any advantage.
After several battles, although there were some small victories, the generals suffered heavy losses and discovered the problem.
Only then did he remember that Tianyao had not fought in many years, his men and horses were in poor condition, his formation techniques were backward, and even his weapons were behind those of the North.
They used the silver they earned from pearls and jade to build cities and houses, but they never thought of using it to build walls in exchange for swords.
Everything was not as easy as they thought.
Xue Jiaer saw that this was not going to work! If she lost, all her efforts would be in vain.
This Yuwen You is not as smart as he looks!
Now that I think about it, how could I not even kill a little Han Lang? It suddenly gave me a headache.
At night, while resting in the big tent, she gave Yuwen You a massage as usual, saying, "General, these ten thousand people you brought with you are all your personal guards. It would be a pity to lose even one of them."
"Yeah! The people behind are almost here, so my people don't need it for now."
"Actually, I have some ideas here. Just treat them as a joke and see if they work for you." Xue Jiaer probed his thoughts and knew that he already felt something was wrong.
Yu Wenyou's face sternly said, "You think I'm not as good as Mo Beiyuan, right? You want to use his methods on my battlefield?"
"No..." Xue Jiaer hurriedly knelt down and tried to explain.
"Are you saying that I and my generals are useless?" Yuwen You sat up.
"No, Your Highness, I just feel bad..."
"You don't have to feel sad. These soldiers will die if they want to. There are plenty of them! The result is to capture it! There is no war without casualties! " There was an unprecedented anger in Yuwenyou's tone.
"Yes." Xue Jiaer replied.
There's nothing wrong with that, as long as you can win.
"You just need to follow my lead and obey my orders, not command me. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Jiaer understands, Jiaer dare not." Xue Jiaer answered again.
"That's good," Yuwen You pulled her into his arms and hugged her, "I like good girls. I don't want bad girls."
Mo Beiyuan's ruthlessness was used on his opponents, but his was used on his own people.
Xue Jiaer knew that she couldn't control him, so she could only give up.
In the middle of the night, she quietly got up and replaced the weapons in the armory with Zhao Jing's. There were still some left in the space.
Yuwen You and Yan Qing watched her act in the dark.
"If you hadn't told me, I would have been tricked by her. I'm afraid our meeting was all part of her plan, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?" Yu Wenyou said coldly.
"Yes, Your Highness is wise." Yan Qing replied.
"She is afraid that I will lose. Since she can't help me openly, she wants to help me secretly. Starting tomorrow, the baggage camp will be reported empty, and she will be asked to fill it. I want to see how much stuff she has there." Yuwen You ordered.
"yes."
"Besides heading north, we can also go east and west. As long as there is an endless supply of energy there, we can reach anywhere."
"The king and the queen will definitely be proud of Your Highness." Yan Qingli said.
"I'm expanding the territory for Tianyao, so it's time for you, old man, to retire. At your age, why are you still occupying that position? Are you still thinking of waiting for the youngest to come back? Are you still thinking of competing with me or looking at me? Don't even think about it. When I return from this battle, if you don't give up your position, I will ask you to step down."
Yuwen You's face was full of evil and cruelty at this time.
The next day, Xue Jiaer was called to fill the warehouse.
She took out all the food and fodder for 10,000 people, but the warehouse was not full.
She knew that a lot of warehouses had been added overnight.
She could only go to Yuwen You.
"Your Highness, I have already taken out all the food and fodder we prepared for 10,000 people."
"Not enough, there are another 50,000 people approaching."
"Fifty thousand?! Why so many? Shouldn't it be twenty thousand? We only conquered Tailin Kingdom..." Xue Jiaer looked incredulous.
"I will use this place as a long-term base and prepare to attack Dongyue in the east and Jiubei in the west at the same time." Yuwen You directly told her his future plans.
"But, Your Highness, I remember telling you that food and utensils are easy to come by, but I can't create weapons and armor out of nothing!" Xue Jiaer said anxiously.
Things in this era will not be automatically replenished. You use as much as you collect. To put it bluntly, it is just a mobile warehouse.
Food can be taken from the supermarket and will be replenished automatically, but with such a large quantity, she doesn't know if it is really inexhaustible. Her biological space has never been used, and she doesn't want to grow anything because she always finds it too troublesome.
Yu Wenyou looked at her serious expression and knew her bottom line for using space.
