Chapter 240 Attack within three days?



Chen Luoyan and Miaoyin also looked at Du Guiyuan strangely.

This is not like Du Guiyuan's character!

"Are you sure you're right?"

Shen Luoyan stared at Du Guiyuan.

She even suspected that Du Guiyuan was someone else pretending to be him.

Du Guiyuan laughed and replied, "I am indeed here to make a bet with Your Highness."

"What do you want to bet with me?"

Yun Zheng was very curious.

Du Guiyuan chuckled and asked, "Your Highness, do you know when Beihuan will attack?"

"How would I know that?"

...

...

Yun Zheng shrugged, "Hasn't our people brought back any news yet?"

Du Guiyuan smiled and said confidently: "I know!"

"You know?"

Yun Zheng was curious, "How did you know?"

Chen Luoyan and Miaoyin also looked at Du Guiyuan in surprise.

They all knew that Bei Huan would definitely attack.

He also predicted the direction of Beihuan's attack.

But they really couldn't predict the timing of Beihuan's attack.

This matter itself is not something they can control.

They can only get the news as far in advance as possible.

Du Guiyuan smiled and said, "I will tell Your Highness later."

"So, you want to bet with me on the timing of Beihuan's attack?"

Yun Zheng understood Du Guiyuan's plan.

"right!"

Du Guiyuan nodded, "In my opinion, Beihuan will attack within three days!"

"Really?"

Yun Zheng looked at him with interest and asked with a smile: "How do you want to bet?"

Du Guiyuan said: "If my judgment is correct, I would like to ask Your Highness for a privilege."

privilege?

Yun Zheng was even more surprised.

How could Du Guiyuan, such a steady man, ask for privileges from me?

Du Guiyuan is really abnormal today!

"What privileges do you want?"

Yun Zheng asked with a smile.

Du Guiyuan smiled embarrassedly and replied, "It is a privilege to drink in the army."

"Why do you want this privilege?" Shen Luoyan tilted his head, full of curiosity.

Yun Zheng prohibited drinking in the army, and Yun Zheng himself did it.

Du Guiyuan is not a person who is addicted to alcohol!

Why did he suddenly want this privilege?

Du Guiyuan smiled awkwardly and replied: "My broken arm hurts a lot in the cold winter. If I could warm my body with a few sips of wine, it would be much better..."

I see!

The three of them suddenly realized.

"I haven't really thought about this. I neglected it!"

Yun Zheng apologized, "How about this! Whether you win or lose the bet, I will give you this privilege! But there is one thing, you are not allowed to get drunk!"

“No no!”

Du Guiyuan waved his hand and said, "If I lose the bet, I will not want this privilege anymore."

"No..." Miaoyin looked at him with a helpless look, "Why are you so stubborn? If you lose the bet, you will be the only one who will feel the pain!"

Du Guiyuan laughed: "I believe I can win the bet!"

"Okay, I'll bet with you!"

Yun Zheng smiled and said, "If you win the bet, I will grant you the privilege of drinking in the army. If you lose the bet, I will take back the privilege of not bowing to an official that my father gave you. How do you think?"

As soon as Yun Zheng finished speaking, Shen Luoyan kicked him lightly.

This bastard actually gambles with others!

Du Guiyuan was not addicted to alcohol, he was just disabled and used the wine to warm his body.

How dare he accept the privilege of not bowing to officials?

Does it matter whether Du Guiyuan salutes him or not?

Shen Luoyan felt sorry for Du Guiyuan, but Du Guiyuan was very happy and bowed quickly, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Okay, let's make it a deal then!"

Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, then asked curiously: "How do you determine that Beihuan will attack within three days?"

Du Guiyuan restrained his smile and replied seriously: "I will observe the celestial phenomena at night..."

"Speak human language!"

Yun Zheng interrupted Du Guiyuan with a frown on his face.

Still watching the sky at night?

He didn't believe that Du Guiyuan would observe the celestial phenomena at night!

Hearing Yun Zheng's words, Du Guiyuan couldn't help but laugh, "I did learn a little about observing the night sky from a man who was exiled to Shuobei from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, but it was mainly caused by this..."

Only after Du Guiyuan's explanation did they understand the situation.

Du Guiyuan's broken arm would hurt every winter, but the pain was not unbearable.

However, Du Guiyuan's broken arm was particularly painful today.

Even with his endurance, he could hardly bear it any longer.

In his experience, this was a precursor to a serious illness.

In the north of Shuozhou, once a strong wind blows, it will be accompanied by heavy fog.

However, this fog is not the common kind of fog.

This is ice fog!

That's what Yu Shizhong and others said was "so cold that it was smoking."

According to their experience, after the icy fog, there should be large-scale snowfall.

Therefore, Du Guiyuan judged that Beihuan would take advantage of this time to attack.

Whether it is ice fog or heavy snow, it can effectively hide the whereabouts of Beihuan’s large troops.

“No wonder!”

Yun Zheng looked at Du Guiyuan with sudden realization, and asked, "Will your broken arm get better if you warm it by the fire?"

"It will be better."

Du Guiyuan nodded gently, "But once you leave the tent, it's still the same."

Shen Luoyan looked at Du Guiyuan sympathetically, and then said to Miaoyin: "Don't you know medical skills? Please help him treat it!"

Miaoyin nodded: "Okay, but I can only try my best to treat it, and I can't guarantee the results."

"No, no."

Du Guiyuan waved his one arm repeatedly, "This is an old problem for me. I went to see a military doctor a few days ago, and the doctor said that there is no cure for my condition. I can only try to relieve the pain as much as possible..."

"I'd better help you heal it!"

Miaoyin said: "Although I am not sure I can cure you, I can still help you relieve the pain! The war is coming soon, and it is not a big deal for you to be in so much pain."

"this……"

Du Guiyuan thought for a moment and thanked her, "Thank you, Madam."

"Okay, then you treat him first."

Shen Luoyan pulled Yun Zheng up and said, "Go for a walk with me."

"OK."

Yun Zheng readily agreed and followed Shen Luoyan out of the tent.

As soon as the two of them came outside, Shen Luoyan glared at Yun Zheng in dissatisfaction, "Do you have the nerve to really gamble with others?"

"I knew you were going to tell me this."

Yun Zheng smiled and shook his head, "I don't really want to take back the privileges given to him by my father! I just don't want him to think that I sympathize with him! Some people don't need sympathy from others..."

For some people, what they want, they can get it by their own ability.

Instead of relying on others’ charity!

Du Guiyuan knew very well that as long as he explained his situation to him, he would be allowed to drink in the army.

But he insisted on betting with himself.

This is his stubbornness!

It is also his dignity!

I have no reason to deprive Du Guiyuan of his dignity.

"Is that so?"

Shen Luoyan tilted his head and thought about it, then said proudly: "You are right!"

"I was right!"

Yun Zheng laughed and hugged Shen Luoyan's waist again, "Let's go, let's go around the camp! We are about to fight with Beihuan. After this battle, I don't know how many people will never be seen again..."

As he spoke, Yun Zheng sighed silently again.

One general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers.

The wise words of the ancients are not without reason...
