Chapter 223 Disguise
Xie Tingzhou said: "Just speak freely about military affairs."
"Yes." The lieutenant general said, "The problem lies with the Crown Prince's Consort and the Qingyun Guards."
Chen Yu didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
The lieutenant general continued, "The Crown Prince's Consort and the Qingyun Guards have no tacit understanding. We are all soldiers led by the Crown Prince and are used to his style of play. We are unfamiliar with the Crown Prince's Consort's style of play, so it is more difficult to cooperate with him."
Chen Yu understood that this was where the problem lay.
When you have an advantage in numbers, you tend to overlook the importance of tacit understanding, but to win with fewer people, every detail is very important.
"The Crown Prince's wife's fighting style..." The lieutenant general said stiffly, "It's too wild."
Everyone wanted to laugh, but they couldn't, after all, the casualties were there.
The lieutenant general hurriedly tried to make excuses, "But he won by being flexible. If the Crown Princess hadn't captured that birdman, and had him inform the rear that they had been defeated, and then go to the rear to shout that the front had been defeated, this battle wouldn't have ended so quickly."
The pigeon's cry caused the bandits to lose their morale and become defeated, with many of them escaping.
Xie Tingzhou only knew what was happening later, but he didn't know that the same strategy was used in the front.
"In fact, there is a shortcoming of Qingyun Guard that I have always wanted to solve, but I have never succeeded. They are already familiar with his style of play, and it is difficult to make changes. Even the deputy generals and lieutenant generals he brought with him have the same style of play as him."
"Your playing style is very good." Chen Yu said, "There is no need to make changes."
"If we encounter a team that knows our tactics very well, we will be at a disadvantage with this style of play." Xie Tingzhou looked at her sideways, "Perhaps you can become a variable for Qingyun Guard."
Shen Yu thought for a moment, then shook her head, "I can't lead Qingyun Guards. Their fighting style is engraved in their bones, and this fighting style suits them."
Xie Tingzhou tapped the table with his fingertips and said, "We'll discuss this issue after we return to Beilin. Let's solve the current problem first. How are the two brothers Fan Xingjian and Fan Xingwang?"
Xifeng replied: "Fan Xingjian said he would rather die than surrender, and Fan Laoer always boasted that they recruited refugees on the road and would fight against us on their behalf if they were given food. Forty percent of them are refugees, and the remaining twenty percent are other small gangs of bandits recruited."
"Many deserters escaped, and we captured some alive.
Please handle it, Prince."
Capturing these people alive would be of no use and would only increase the burden on their food supplies.
Xie Tingzhou frowned, "Let the refugees go, and kill the rest of the bandits on the spot."
The lieutenant general took a breath but dared not say anything.
Chen Yu noticed this, and she explained for Xie Tingzhou: "If we let them all go, they will continue to become bandits, and will lead other refugees. If their numbers are large, they may become a big problem. Today we kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, so that the refugees can weigh it clearly for themselves, whether they want to live or become bandits."
The lieutenant general nodded and said, "I am grateful for your advice. I will go to reorganize the troops later. I am afraid that we will encounter situations like today again on the road."
The lieutenant general had never had any contact with Shen Yu before. He only heard rumors that she used her body as a woman to manipulate the court and killed Li Yanchang, so he thought she was a ruthless character.
Looking at her these days, I don't see anything special about her except that she looks a little prettier than ordinary girls.
It was not until today's battle that he had to admit that she was no ordinary woman.
No wonder, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not chosen a Crown Princess in all these years. He originally wanted to find someone unique.
Xifeng moved the stool forward, so that his body just blocked the lieutenant general's line of sight.
The lieutenant general was stunned for a moment, and Xifeng patted him on the shoulder.
"Wait." Chen Yu had something to say. She looked at Xie Tingzhou and said, "Let's go separately. You take Qingyunwei back to Beilin, and I will come here by myself."
"No." Xie Tingzhou rejected it outright.
This battle was not actually necessary, but he chose to attack, which showed Beilin’s attitude to everyone.
Chen Yu was the person Xie Tingzhou was willing to protect with all his strength.
It is also equivalent to confronting Shengjing.
Chen Yu said calmly: "We can't go on like this. We won the battle today, but there will be more situations like this on the way back. In addition to the mob, there may be regular troops who will try to weaken us step by step. No matter how strong Qingyun Guard is, these six thousand people, no, now they can only be counted as five thousand."
"These five thousand men cannot stop wave after wave of sneak attacks and assaults. Even if we win every battle, we will be consumed in battle after battle, like a big tree being eaten away by ants."
Xie Tingzhou knew this truth very well.
If those people wanted to capture him or Shen Yu and seek reward from the imperial court, they could only do so when their military strength was at its weakest.
That is to say, they are on their way back to Beilin. Once they return to Beilin, he will have 100,000 Qingyun Guards behind him, and small forces like today will not dare to move at all.
Now the imperial court is attacking Chen Yu, and she wants to use herself to divert the flames of war away from the main force.
Once she was alone, those small forces would swarm in and capture her to seek credit for her to the court.
"I won't agree to it." Xie Tingzhou said coldly, "You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible. If you dare to run away by yourself, I haven't thought about the ending yet, but you can give it a try."
Shen Yu's way was blocked by him, there were many people here, and she couldn't talk about private matters with him.
The matter was left unresolved, but was implemented after Qingyun Guard was attacked for the second time.
Qingyun Guards won, but as Chen Yu said, every enemy attack weakened them. If this continues, they will be eroded to the point of being vulnerable.
However, Xie Tingzhou would never let her act alone.
It was finally decided that Qingyun Guard would be split up into small teams and return to Beilin in disguise, while Chen Yu and Xie Tingzhou would take their guards and set out alone in disguise as escorts.
In this way, those who have been paying attention to the movements of the main army will not pay attention to the small group of people.
Xie Tingzhou sat and let Chenyu help him change his clothes.
Xie Tingzhou's face is so eye-catching that it's hard not to notice him.
Shen Yu is already very good at disguise.
She stood between his open legs. Xie Tingzhou looked up, his eyes moving back and forth across her face.
That look was a caress, filled with habitual greed and wild possessiveness.
Chen Yu's movements slowed down under his heavy gaze, and she gently scolded him, "Close your eyes."
Xie Tingzhou closed his eyes obediently, but slowly put his hand on her waist and measured the thickness of her waist with his hand.
"The meat I raised in Hezhou is gone again. I have to raise some for you when I return to Beilin."
Chen Yu chuckled, "Chu Yao Wei Bin, this is the trend in the Great Zhou now."
"I don't like it." Xie Tingzhou said.
"So what do you like?"
Xie Tingzhou opened his eyes and looked at her, "I only like my prince's wife."
