Chapter 361 Epiphany



The space was filled with the secret guards who were so excited that they were speechless.

Su Chuan frowned, looking at the light in everyone's eyes, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pull Song Jinxiu's sleeve.

Only she, An Yi and two short ones, about 35 and 36 years old, were left outside. The master could try to make them disappear someday.

An Yi was also very depressed. Although he was feeling dizzy, he followed the scouts. In order to block the scouts' sight, when he passed the narrow gap, he kept sucking in his stomach, leaning against the mountain wall, and crawling over like a gecko.

He couldn't help but ask An Qi: "Did the master throw you here? Did he fly from the sky or pass from underground?"

"Puff"

An Qi couldn't help but laugh. To heaven and earth? The head is really imaginative.

The secret guards also laughed.

An Yi became even more depressed.

Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "Hurry up and get going. I'll show you how to go up to the sky and into the earth when I have time."

Sharing her secrets with the secret guards also made Song Jinxiu feel happy.

Since the day these people acknowledged their master, they have been connected to her. They cannot have love, cannot get married and have children, and all their actions, joys and sorrows are for her, the master.

This made Song Jinxiu, who lived in a society where everyone was equal, feel a little guilty. Now that she had shared her biggest secret, she felt relaxed all of a sudden.

They have no love, so let yourself love them.

Suddenly, Song Jinxiu's mind became clear, and she had an epiphany while walking.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and kept walking.

The scouts were confused.

But the treasure-hunting rat Junjun, under the cover of the darkness before dawn, swaggered into the barracks of the Tenth Route Army.

The camp was quiet and brightly lit.

"Hehe, your brother and the others must be sleeping soundly right now. If I crawl into their bed, will they be scared and run over here naked? Hahaha..."

Treasure hunting rat Junjun was mischievously thinking about how to make the scene more exciting after meeting Song Chunsheng and others.

However, as it walked, it found that the entire camp was empty except for the gatekeepers and patrolmen.

It looked at each tent one by one and found that they were all filled with wood.

Are these ten armies afraid that the wood will get wet and they will have no firewood to cook?

It looked at the twinkling stars in the sky. Doesn't it look like it's going to rain?

At dawn, the sky gradually turns white, and birds begin to sing on the branches, and a new day is about to begin.

"Junjun, have you found your elder brother?" Song Jinxiu communicated with its spiritual consciousness while traveling overnight.

As the scouts advanced, they beat the weeds on the roadside with sticks to prevent snakes.

If you travel at night, you have to follow the ridge, otherwise you will lose your way.

Junjun was still a little confused about the situation in the Tenth Route Army camp. It spun around in a circle, not understanding what was going on here.

It carried its legs on its back and paced back and forth using only its two hind paws. "It's so weird, it's like an empty city stratagem here. Except for the patrolling soldiers, all ten tents here are empty. What's even weirder is that there are no people living in the tents, they are just filled with wood."

Empty? Put wood?

Song Jinxiu frowned and asked the scout, "How many troops are there in the ten-route army?"

The scout said: "In the past, the Baiyue people were quite honest. The ten armies were patrolling together, with 5,000 people. But we have fought several battles with the Baiyue people recently. The Baiyue people suffered several losses, so we mobilized the elephant soldiers.

In order to fight against the elephant soldiers, the general sent 10,000 soldiers before your highness arrived, but casualties were inevitable in the battle, and now it is unknown how many are left. ”

The scout said, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "The former general was stationed in Bobo Mountain. He had been personally leading the troops to fight against the main force of the King of Southern Xinjiang. Later, the battle line was extended, and the general retreated to the rear in order to control the overall situation."

Song Jinxiu glanced at the scout, who quickly said, "Really? After the Baiyue people and the Ailao people joined the battle, the general..."

Song Jinxiu frowned: "Why don't you explain?"

The scout said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess has gone to the battlefield, but our general is staying in the rear. Some people say that Her Royal Highness has a problem with the general, so I will personally inspect it and write a letter to complain to Your Majesty."

Song Jinxiu was speechless.

How many days has she been here? Where there are people, there will be the underworld, and where there is the underworld, there will inevitably be gossip.

Su Chuan was immediately unhappy when he heard that they were gossiping about their master. He said coldly, "These people are just bored. When did Your Highness say that you wanted to file a complaint?"

The scout lowered his head. Over the past few days, Her Royal Highness the Princess had been easygoing and even personally grilled meat for him, so he dared to muster up the courage to explain on behalf of the general.

And this little guard was too cold. Her face looked even more serious under the moonlight, and her eyes were murderous. The scout secretly glanced at Su Chuan and said weakly, "Your Highness is the military supervisor, so why don't you come and find fault?"

Song Jinxiu: ...

Why does she always find fault? Is it normal for a military supervisor to find fault?

Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for military supervisors and commanders to be at odds with each other.

For example, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang used Bian Lingcheng as a military supervisor to kill Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, which allowed the "Anshi Rebellion" to end early and lasted for another year;

Also, during the Yongxi Northern Expedition, there was a dispute between the military supervisor Wang Quan and the commander Pan Mei and the deputy general Yang Ye. Wang Quan insisted, which led to Yang Ye's risky withdrawal of troops and his eventual death in battle.

Song Jinxiu didn't know much about the history here, but from the eyes of the scouts, she could see that the conflict between the military supervisor and the commander was the same.

Song Jinxiu also understood that the contradiction between the military supervisor and the commander-in-chief was mainly caused by the special duties and powers of the military supervisor. The military inspector was responsible for supervising the army and ensuring that the generals were loyal to the emperor.

This is because the military supervisors were mostly the emperor's confidants and possessed great power, including the power of life and death.

If he interferes with military command again... it will lead to tension and even confrontation between the military supervisor and the commander-in-chief.

Song Jinxiu is the military supervisor, she will definitely interfere in the war in southern Xinjiang.

But Song Jinxiu knew it all, and she wouldn't make random comments. She can give suggestions on strategy, but as for military tactics, it is better for her to listen to General Wei's unified deployment.

For the sake of the war in southern Xinjiang, she could also obey the command of General Wei. Without conflicts of interest, we can naturally live in peace.

As she climbed up the vine, she explained:

"At present, the battle in southern Xinjiang is not a war of advancement along a certain route, but a war of comprehensive defense along the border."

With her coming, this war is no longer about defense, but offense.

Song Jinxiu climbed up a big rock, turned around and pulled Su Chuan to let her follow, then continued:

"The general has been here for decades, and he knows everything about this place. So he can take charge of the overall situation from the rear.

The princess has just arrived. As a military supervisor, she should inspect all the troops on the front line and get familiar with everything here. Do you understand? This has nothing to do with the general, and don't worry, the princess will not complain to His Majesty. ”

What are you complaining about? If there is something, just solve it yourself. She is not a powerless eunuch supervising the army. She is the eldest princess and has the Dragon and Tiger Camp, as well as Su Mo's 40,000 Su family troops. Why does she need to write a memorial to complain to the emperor thousands of miles away?

Song Jinxiu quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests while patiently explaining that she had to convey her message through the scouts.

The war was approaching, and she didn't want any rumors to spread that the military supervisor and the commander were not in harmony. An unstable military morale was a big taboo.
