Chapter 825 I Only Wish Your Heart Was Like Mine
Shen Shuyi read half of it and called Qin Xin: "Find Mo Yu here, and send a letter to Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, asking Bao Kun to help me check the strength of the 20,000 iron cavalry of Yuanxia Kingdom."
Although Shen Shuyi had never been on the battlefield, in his previous life, he helped Xiao Tingshan fight for the position of crown prince, so he had been exposed to many wars.
She guessed that among the 20,000 cavalry, most were light cavalry, and a small number were heavy cavalry. After all, although the heavy cavalry was better equipped and more lethal, it was too heavy for the soldiers and horses.
As a result, the requirements for war horses and cavalry are higher.
In addition, heavy cavalry has poor flexibility, insufficient endurance, and is very expensive, so although it is a rare and powerful weapon, countries usually do not equip too many of them.
However, this time, Yuan Xia sent heavy cavalry to the border, presumably intending for a bloody battle.
No wonder Emperor Qianwu had previously dispatched a large army to join the Tiger Army under the command of King Canglang, and raised food and soldiers and transported them to Liangzhou.
"Yes." Qin Xin agreed.
Shen Shu thought for a moment and said again: "Also send a message to my uncle, asking him to secretly collect food and military supplies, divide them into three batches, and transport them to the vicinity of Liangzhou in three routes."
Qin Xin was slightly startled, and looked at Shen Shuyi in surprise: "Yes."
"As for the silver...Jinzhu, go ask Nanny Fang to count the silver I have now and give it to my uncle first. If it's not enough, just owe it to him first."
Shen Shuyi said nothing, still thinking about the battle situation.
Now the Luo State has not yet withdrawn its troops. Lu Xiao has reached some kind of deal with the Luo State, and fled to the Luo State again, changed his name, and became a general of the Luo State.
My grandfather and my uncle were stationed in the Yancheng area and had always been entangled with them.
Judging from Baopeng's letter, after the Luo Kingdom did not gain any advantage in the recent military battle, it did not dare to send out a large number of troops again.
But even if a large army was not sent, the harassment continued, and people could not live in peace.
Shen Shu thought that Luo State might have some experts this time. With such frequent border disturbances, the trade in the Yancheng area would definitely be affected, causing the economy to decline.
At the same time, he was also tying down tens of thousands of Daqian troops there, which was costly.
But the more this happened, the more my grandfather dared not to come back, for fear that once he led his army back to the court, the Luo Kingdom would launch another massive attack.
After my grandfather reported the matter to Emperor Qianwu, he ordered him to continue to garrison Yancheng, at least until the Luo Kingdom could no longer hold on and withdrew its troops.
Shen Shu thought that Yuan Xia's sending of troops this time might be a conspiracy with Luo State, to attack from both sides and cause Daqian to suffer heavy losses.
Now in Yancheng, it seems like a war, but in fact... it is a competition between the two countries' food and economy, to see who can't hold on first.
Thinking of this, Shen Shuyi thought to herself, "I'll go to my brother again and ask him if he has any good ideas to get him to communicate with my grandfather."
Her brother is always better than her in this regard.
"Winter is about to begin. There are battles going on in Yancheng and Liangzhou. The soldiers' cotton-padded clothes and charcoal fires should be prepared early."
Shen Shuyi spoke in a deep voice. In her opinion, both sides would probably fight a protracted war this time.
Not only that, a lot of corrupt officials were purged from the court because of several major cases.
Shen Shuyi speculated that if Daqian could survive these three to five years, it would surely reach its peak.
Shen Shuyi retracted his thoughts: "Go first."
"Yes."
After the two maids left, Shen Shuyi continued reading the letter. At the end of the letter, he talked about what he had seen and heard on the road.
The climate in Liangzhou is not very good, with drought, little rain, and strong winds and sandstorms, but the fruits and vegetables are sweet.
Shen Shuyi read through the lines and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips. She couldn't explain it clearly, but she just felt a sense of satisfaction that someone cared about her and cared about her.
Maybe it was because she had never been cared for by anyone, but in this sense of satisfaction, she also felt a little swollen and sore, which made the corners of her eyes hurt.
After seeing the end, I changed my previous seriousness and just talked about numbers.
[I miss you so much that every night when it is quiet, I toss and turn, unable to sleep, I only wish you were by my side, I only hope to meet you, walk hand in hand, under the flowers and moon.]
Shen Shuyi stared blankly at the powerful handwriting on the letter, his cheeks slightly hot. After a while, he stood up and wrote a reply letter.
He wrote more about the situation in Beijing at the beginning. At the end, Shen Shuyi paused and wrote a love word like him.
[I only hope that your heart is like mine, and I will never let you down. 】
Shen Shuyi stared at the words in a daze.
She didn't know how to love someone, and she had never been loved in her previous life. But if Xie Jingchi was sincere, she would be willing to return the favor a hundredfold.
But in this life, she will never give up herself and devote herself to anyone again.
She must always leave a way out for herself and always hold power in her hands.
She must have the ability to withdraw at any time, and also have the confidence to turn against her.
Xie Jingchi, will you let me down?
*
Just as Shen Shuyi put pen to paper, the sword spirit beside him suddenly flashed out, leaped up, and disappeared into the night in an instant.
Shen Shuyi looked calm as usual. He waited for the letter to dry and then put it in an envelope.
After thinking for a while, she spread out the paper and planned to draw a picture to bring to him, but she was a little confused about what to draw.
Shen Shuyi thought about it and then painted a majestic scene of a general inspecting his troops.
Although he was not a general, he had a life-threatening journey to Liangzhou. Although he could not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, he could still contribute in the rear.
I just hope you have a safe journey and a safe return.
Shen Shuyi completed the entire painting in one go, and it took him two full hours to finish it before he felt satisfied.
By the time I put down my brush, it was already very late at night.
Jianpo came back from outside and whispered, "Madam, someone came to Xie's house at night."
"Did you catch him?" Shen Shuyi asked.
Jianpo shook his head: "No, the other party seemed to just want to find out what was going on, and acted cautiously, so... he was not caught."
Jianpo didn't say anything. The Lord asked General Fu Guang and Bi Cheng, along with a team of secret guards, to stay with the lady, but they still failed to catch the person just now.
"The other party is not interested in fighting, so it's normal that you can't catch him." Shen Shuyi did not blame him, but began to think about who it could be.
"That man was wearing a bamboo hat, which fell off during the fight. I saw that his face was painted with complicated totems, so I couldn't see his appearance clearly."
Hearing this, Shen Shuyi turned around and looked at Jianpo: "Totem?"
"Yes."
"Do you still remember what it looks like?" Shen Shuyi picked up the pen and asked Jianpo.
Jianpo recalled and had to tell the truth: "It was knocked out when Fu Guang fought with him. He saw it more clearly."
"Fu Guang? Didn't he go to Liangzhou with Xie Jingchi?" Shen Shuyi frowned.
"Yes... Sir... Sir left Fu Guang and Bi Cheng in Xie Mansion to protect your safety secretly." Jian Po spoke with a stiff face. After all, the master had said before not to reveal it to the lady.
"Nonsense, he is too bold! He doesn't know martial arts, how can he leave his two confidants with me!" Shen Shuyi scolded in a deep voice, his eyes always on Jianpo's face.
Jianpo felt so guilty that he didn't even dare to look up at Shen Shuyi.
Shen Shuyi seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't say anything. After a while, he said, "Call Fu Guang."
"Yes."
