Chapter 38: Beat them one by one

"Go to the border, Concubine Shu will meet you in the army. Follow her orders in everything." Lu Yanshi inspected the results and arranged her destination directly.

Song Yulan watched him leave in a trance.

She had only been confined to her room for a few months to practice calligraphy, and the world had already developed into this.

Is Concubine Shu on duty in the military camp?

Is the military so short of manpower that it doesn't matter whether you are male or female?

No one answered her questions, and early the next morning, she was packed up by Lu Yanshi's men and sent to the military camp.

Accompanying her were the two guys who lost on purpose yesterday, Lin Boyan and Fang Zhengyang.

Seeing Song Yulan dressed as a man, Lin Boyan approached and said, "Brother, where are you from?"

Before Song Yulan could speak, Fang Zhengyang pulled him back several steps and said in a low voice, "You are stupid, that's a woman."

Lin Boyan was shocked.

Oh my God, has the emperor become so deranged?

Even women have to be sent to the military camp?

"You two just mind yourselves and don't get close to this carriage." The guards responsible for escorting Song Yulan stepped forward and strictly forbade the two to say any more.

Lin Boyan and Fang Zhengyang nodded in haste and did not dare to talk to Song Yulan again along the way.

Song Yulan was in a daze the whole way. She had too many questions, but no one could answer them for her.

The point is, she also suffers from motion sickness!

Half a month later, she finally arrived at the border.

Concubine Shu Shen Liuzheng came out to greet her in person.

The first thing Shen Liuzheng said when she saw her was: "You should learn to ride a horse. This speed is too slow."

She looked at Song Yulan, who was late, and seemed a little dissatisfied.

"Shu..."

Song Yulan was about to explain when she interrupted him.

"Stop, in the military camp, call me General Shen." Shen Liuzheng looked serious.

"Since you are here, and it is still early, hurry up and rewrite this letter as I told you."

She dragged Song Yulan directly into the tent.

Song Yulan wanted to cry but had no tears.

She had just gotten off the carriage and was still dizzy, and she was about to start working.

Why didn’t I realize before that Concubine Shu was a workaholic?

"Write as I say." Shen Liuzheng stuffed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone into her hands.

Song Yulan had no choice but to accept her fate.

A higher-ranking official can crush a person to death. No matter in the harem or in the military camp, Shen Liuzheng's status is higher than hers.

She took a deep breath and wrote according to Shen Liuzheng's instructions.

The more I wrote, the more frightened I became.

After she finished writing, she couldn't help but ask: "Shufei..."

Shen Liuzheng glanced at her, and she immediately changed the subject: "General Shen, whose letter is this? What are we doing?"

She performed well, so Shen Liuzheng patiently explained to her: "The person you are imitating is Qi Yufeng, the Thirteenth Prince of Beiyong, and the person you are replying to is Huo Qing, the other party's chief general. What we need to do is to induce Huo Qing to change the battle plan and alienate the Emperor of Beiyong and the Thirteenth Prince. Do you understand?"

Song Yulan then realized that the emperor had asked her to practice the handwriting of important figures in the Beiyong Dynasty in the past few months.

It turns out that it was all for this moment.

She was excited: "If they become disloyal and start fighting among themselves, can we reap the benefits?"

"Of course. They are in chaos, so if we attack them again, we will get twice the result with half the effort." Shen Liuzheng smiled.

Song Yulan was so excited that she didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment.

It turns out that she can influence such national affairs.

"Can we?" she murmured.

"Why not? On the battlefield, regardless of gender, age or status, the winner is the king, and strength represents everything." Shen Liuzheng smiled faintly.

When she first came, many people did not respect her.

She simply beat them down one by one.

Even Ye Heting couldn't say anything about her decision now.

"From today on, you will be known to the outside world as... my family. You will live in my tent, eat and live with me. If I go to war, you will stay in the tent and don't run around." She arranged Song Yulan's destination.

After all, Song Yulan looked like a man no matter how much she wore men's clothes. As for her family, as long as she stayed within the tent, no one else could say anything.

Song Yulan's ability only needs to be known by a few people.

The military camp was a mixed bag, and she couldn't trust anyone, so it was better for her to keep Song Yulan by her side.

Thinking about sleeping in the same bed, Song Yulan actually felt a little shy.

"I understand." She responded hesitantly.

"You rest first. I need to discuss the battle plan with other generals." Shen Liuzheng turned around and left without saying anything else.

Song Yulan's heart was pounding, she felt like a whole new world was beckoning to her.

It must be said that Shen Liuzheng was a genius in the use of troops. She was not only good at fighting, but also good at tactical fighting. Not long after Song Yulan arrived, she not only recovered the lost cities of Daxia, but also captured the border city of Beiyong.

But she couldn't continue.

Because I have no money.

The good news was reported back to the capital, and everyone cheered.

But everyone is confused. Didn’t General Shen and the second son of the Shen family die in battle? Who is the current General Shen Zheng Shen?

Could it be a relative from the Shen family’s side branch?

But Lu Yanshi had no intention of explaining it to them, and they did not dare to ask. Anyway, they would be able to see General Shen when he returned to the court.

They are arguing about another topic now: whether or not to continue fighting this war.

"The situation is right now, why not fight?" Most of the military generals were in favor of war, and they couldn't help but stand up and argue with the civil officials.

The officials of the Ministry of Revenue argued: "The treasury is empty. We have no money. What can we use to fight?"

"That's right, we've already captured a city, so let's stop here. Let's take a break and recuperate, and we'll continue fighting after the taxes are collected next year!" another official echoed.

"Bullshit! You can rest and recuperate, but others can't. By the time you are not ready, they will counterattack and make a comeback. Your Majesty, Beiyong is a strong enemy. We must seize this good opportunity and take them down in one fell swoop!" The military generals could not reason with these civil officials, so they could only look at Lu Yanshi.

"It's no use talking about it, we have no money." The Minister of Revenue threw up his hands, refusing to agree to continue the attack.

[Why are you out of money? If each of you donates some money, then the Concubine Shu will have enough money to attack Beiyong! ]

[Empress Shufei is so powerful, maybe she can conquer Beiyong and make it our territory, expanding the territory of Daxia.]

Lu Li was secretly anxious.

The situation is so favorable, how can these people give up halfway?

She cares more about this matter than Lu Yanshi.

After all, the stronger Da Xia is, the greater her chances of survival.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.

Lu Yanshi felt that his daughter had given him a good idea.

However, will these cunning officials be willing to pay the money?
