Chapter 113 Taking Control of Chongshan City
When everyone arrived outside Chongshan City on horseback, they saw soldiers cleaning up the battlefield.
Carry the fallen soldiers aside and choose a good place nearby to bury them. As for the enemy soldiers, dig a big pit to bury them or burn them directly.
In the summer heat, the smell of blood was very strong, and a gust of wind made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
However, their expressions were slightly gloomy and they remained silent.
"Greetings to Princess Wang, military advisor, Mr. Cui, and Mr. Jiang." The young general leading the team came forward to salute them when he saw them coming.
Cui Si asked him, "How were these soldiers arranged in the past?"
The young general said, "In reply to Princess Wang, according to the old custom, we should find a better place to bury him."
Cui Si thought for a moment and said, "Then we should find a good piece of land nearby and let the soldiers rest today. Tomorrow we can have them come and identify the people, take down their names, and bury them."
"Then have someone erect a loyalty monument and carve your name on it."
"This place is far away from our homeland. From now on, let the soldiers guarding Chongshan Pass go there to pay homage during festivals."
It would be bad if no one paid tribute to them after they died.
Upon hearing this, the young general responded immediately: "Thank you, Princess. I understand."
When the group entered the city, they saw the ashes and ruins on the ground after the fire was put out.
Cui Si took a quick glance and didn't look at it any further.
If she were still a young lady of fifteen or sixteen, at this moment, she might still feel touched and doubt whether what she did was right.
But she had experienced such scenes too many times and had gotten used to it.
In troubled times, especially for someone in a high position like her, one cannot be merciful to the enemy. She must keep her people alive and survive to the end.
"Princess Wang, Mr. Shangguan, the Lord is at the government office."
The Yanyun Guards came to invite them to the government office in Chongshan City to discuss matters.
When they arrived, Yan Xingchuan and others were already here. As soon as they saw them, they started to discuss matters.
Today they only wanted to capture the city, and they couldn't send too many soldiers to the other side to block Jiang Shao in a short period of time, so they could only let Jiang Shao leave with his army.
"After Jiang Shao leaves Chongshan City, he will likely abandon Yunzhou and head straight for Miaozhou, guarding the gates of Miaozhou and starting a war in Yunzhou."
Although Jiang Shao also has the ability to command battles, he cannot sit on the high platform to deal with the Northern Yan army. He has to go down in person to stop Yan Xingchuan.
After he lost his arm, he would most likely lose to Yan Xingchuan, so he needed time to adapt and also needed to arrange people to deal with Wu Tu who suddenly appeared in the Northern Yan army.
All of this takes time, and Yunzhou can just hold back the Northern Yan army for at least a month.
"Don't worry about him for now." Yan Xingchuan was very calm. "The most important thing right now is to rebuild Chongshan City and take over Yunzhou."
"Military Advisor, the reconstruction of Chongshan City's inner city is now in your hands."
Shangguan Tong had always been responsible for stabilizing the rear and managing the army. Upon hearing this, he responded, "I obey your orders."
"General Xu, you will stay in the city and await orders from Princess Wang and the military advisor."
"I obey your command." Xu Dazhi agreed.
"As for the rest of the people, this prince and Shen Sui will each lead 30,000 troops, split into two groups, and capture Yunzhou."
"Chen Sui, you take Wu Tu and Cui Jing with you, and Chen Mo, you follow me."
After that, he continued, "Princess Wang, stay in Chongshan City and work with the military advisor to resettle the people in the city and rebuild Chongshan City."
"yes."
He gave his orders one by one, and everyone took up their tasks one by one.
Finally, there is Jiang Cinian.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry to bother you these past few days. The heat is unbearable, and I need to prepare some cooling tea and medicine for the soldiers. I have already arranged for someone to help you."
Jiang Cinian naturally agreed.
"Rest tonight and tomorrow, and set off the day after tomorrow."
After the meeting, Shangguan Tong had already arranged accommodation for everyone, and soldiers took them there.
Cui Si stayed behind and did not leave.
Yan Xingchuan asked her, "Why, do you think I'm too anxious to leave the day after tomorrow?"
"It's not suitable to march and fight in such hot weather. We have no choice but to attack Chongshan City today."
"But right now, while Yunzhou hasn't reacted yet, it's easier to capture the city."
"Just think clearly about the pros and cons. You're not someone who knows nothing." Cui Si didn't comment on this. "I stayed because I have something to tell you."
"What is it?"
"It's been a while since I left Xianyang City. I promised my grandmother that I would return early. Now that Chongshan Pass has been taken, I should have nothing to do with the remaining attacks on Yunzhou, Miaozhou, and Laizhou."
Yan Xingchuan was stunned: "Are you going back to Xianyang?"
"Yes." Cui Si nodded. "After a few days, when Mr. Jiang has prepared the herbs for the soldiers, we will return."
"Get married when you get back?" he suddenly asked.
Cui Si was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Maybe it's time to prepare."
Yan Xingchuan suddenly stopped talking again.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Cui Si frowned slightly and asked, "Are you going to regret this?"
"No." Yan Xingchuan lowered his eyes and looked at the ground. "Since I promised you, I won't regret it."
Since she felt that they were both well, she would be happier. If he continued to pester her, it would be a bit inhumane.
"I'll see you off when you get married."
"No need." Cui Si rejected him outright. "You are very busy. I don't need to bother you with such a small matter."
If he goes, will the marriage still go through?
It would be ugly if he suddenly went crazy and disrupted the wedding.
This is her lifelong thing, how can she let him ruin it?
Besides, she didn't want to see him at the wedding ceremony.
Who wants to see their ex-husband at a wedding ceremony?
"Okay, since you said you won't go, I won't go either." Yan Xingchuan agreed again, "Then you should leave early the next morning. I'll leave all matters concerning Chongshan Pass to the military advisor."
"We agreed beforehand that I would conquer the world while you lived a stable and comfortable life in Xianyang. I can't let you suffer any more."
"Okay, I'll leave the day after tomorrow." No matter what he was thinking, she didn't have to worry about it, and she was happy to be free and easy.
After the matter was settled, Cui Si said goodbye and left, then went to find Jiang Cinian and told him that she would leave the day after tomorrow.
Jiang Ci Nian nodded: "It's better to go back early. The old lady must miss you. When I go back, I will also go to get some new herbs. It's time to open the clinic."
"I asked your uncle to help me buy a farm near the mountains. I need to go back and plant some crops and medicinal herbs. Next spring, I'll plant some fruit trees."
"In the spring, I brewed some peach blossom wine. We can drink it when we get back."
As Cui Si listened to him talk about these things, her somewhat restless heart gradually calmed down.
With loved ones by my side, I plant flowers, grass, and fruit trees, make wine in my spare time, have a few drinks when the season comes, and then slowly build my life.
"Then it's a deal. I'll drink the peach blossom wine you brewed when I get home."
