Chapter 208 Taking advantage of the situation
Bai Chuxiao and a group of Changning soldiers stood not far from Fengyun Valley, looking quite refreshed.
"Princess, what if they don't come out now?" Shen Yiyu asked.
Bai Chuxiao smiled slightly, "Of course I will call them out."
These days, the Changning Army always challenged outside the valley. Zhang Yu's people were naturally arrogant at first, but later they found that the Changning Army was just testing the waters and did not enter the valley. They fled after the fight. After a long time, they felt that it was meaningless and did not want to pay any more attention to it.
Shen Yiyu touched his nose, not quite understanding the princess's intentions
Bai Chuxiao sat on the horse calmly and said with a faint smile, "Le'er, Xuanxuan, you guys come, we can't lose morale"
The two men in armor laughed and said, "Okay."
Song Le'er said with a smile, "Grandchildren across the street, what are you doing in there? Come out soon..."
Shen Xuanxuan was the same, "You guys, the turtles on the other side, hurry up and fight your aunt..."
The two of them talked, and the voices of the Changning Army rose and fell.
The imperial officers and soldiers guarding Fengyun Valley all had livid faces. How could they endure being humiliated by a few women? However, without orders from above, they could not go out to meet the enemy without permission.
On the opposite hillside, Zhang Yu and his two sons stood facing the wind.
"Father, His Majesty has issued an order to urge the battle. The other side actually sent a few women to challenge us. I guess we really have no way to deal with it. Otherwise, we should take the initiative to attack and wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop..." Zhang Shaoqi spoke slowly.
Zhang Yu frowned slightly. Lü Fengxian might get in his way, but that didn't mean he was a fool. According to Lü Fengxian, the other side might be plotting something, so he didn't move his troops rashly in the past few days.
But it was not enough to just defend Fengyun Valley. The Changning Army repeatedly provoked them. The battle report here was sent back to the capital. Even Chu Tianling issued an imperial decree to let him go to the battle to annihilate the army of Princess Yan.
According to his observations over the past few days, the main generals on the side of Princess Yan have been taking turns to fight, and there is really no way to deal with it.
While Zhang Yu was hesitating, Zhang Shaowei suddenly said, "Father, in my opinion, the Princess of Yan and the others want us to get out. There must be an ambush over there. We might as well take advantage of them and ambush them in advance, then try to lure them into the valley and destroy them in one fell swoop."
Zhang Shaoqi snorted coldly, "Second brother, do you think that the Princess of Yan is a fool? She would bring people into the valley so easily..."
Zhang Shaowei said confidently, "What if we withdraw the troops in Fengyun Valley..."
Zhang Shaoqi sneered, "You're withdrawing your troops for no reason. Do you think the other side will be fooled?"
Zhang Shaowei continued, "So we really withdrew our troops, but left an ambush hidden in the dark beforehand. As soon as they entered Fengyun Valley, we would rush out and block their way..."
Zhang Yu showed some interest on his face, "Tell me in detail..."
Zhang Shaowei's face lit up with joy, but Zhang Shaoqi immediately interrupted him, "Father, this plan is not feasible, and it's too risky. Instead of this, it's better to go out of the valley and take the initiative to meet the enemy. Even if we have a head-on confrontation, we still have a way out..."
Zhang Yu said in a deep voice, "Okay, Qi'er, I think what your second brother said makes sense. The Princess of Yan challenges us every day, and who knows what's waiting for us over there. I'm afraid that if we go out of the valley to chase the enemy, it will just suit their wishes. Now His Majesty attaches great importance to the annihilation of the Princess of Yan. If Wei'er's proposal works, we can indeed win a big victory..."
Zhang Shaoqi was stunned and wanted to refute, but Zhang Yu said sternly, "Either you stay and discuss and improve this plan together, or get out!"
Zhang Shaoqi lowered his head quickly and said, "I dare not..."
Zhang Yu regained his composure and said slowly, "Wei'er, please continue..."
Zhang Shaowei's eyes flashed with pride, "Father, they have challenged us these past two days, so we just go out to meet them and pretend to be defeated, and then we can set up an ambush..."
After some discussion, it was clear that Zhang Shaowei's proposal was approved by Zhang Yu.
With the order from above, the imperial army in Fengyun Valley naturally went out to meet the enemy. However, unlike the previous times when the Changning army was beaten badly, this time it was the imperial army that was in disgrace.
Whether it is true or false, I don't know.
Bai Chuxiao's eyes flashed with brilliance. With a wave of his hand, he led the Changning Army back to Mianzhou City.
In the government office, Yu Fengyang, Murong Xuan and Cui Hao were sitting and drinking tea.
Looking at the people who came back, Yu Fengyang crossed his legs and said leisurely, "Princess, it took a little long to deliver the military merits today."
Shen Xuanxuan smiled and said, "General Yu, you are wrong. Today, the other side is giving us military merits..."
Cui Hao's eyes lit up, "Oh? Could it be that the princess's plan worked?"
Bai Chuxiao returned to the seat and took a sip of tea. "Obviously..."
Murong Xuan clapped his hands and praised, "Sister Xiao is really very powerful. She can even make the other side really rearrange their defense according to your ideas..."
Cui Hao sighed, "Acting is a technical skill. It's finally coming to an end..."
Yu Fengyang smiled, "Acting? Cui Hao, I see you are covered in dirt after being beaten, it doesn't look like you are acting..."
Cui Hao gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't it the same for Master Yu..."
Bai Chuxiao waved her hands and said with a smile, "Okay, we'll only be performing for two more days. Cui Hao, prepare your stuff well..."
"Yes"
In Changcheng, Lü Fengxian was supposed to go to Jieyang, but after being beaten with dozens of sticks, he couldn't get out of bed for a while. Zhang Yu showed mercy and allowed him to stay in Changcheng for a few more days.
But today is the deadline. Inside the tent, Lu Fengxian, who had packed up, sighed helplessly.
"General, are we really going to Jieyang?" a young general said, looking as pale as a pig's liver.
It's fine if we don't let them go to Fengyun Valley, they can stay in Changcheng. What's so special about Jieyang, that remote county with no one around?
Lu Fengxian's face was calm, he had accepted the reality, "Military orders are hard to disobey, even His Majesty is urging us to fight, I have no other choice..."
The young general said, "But the soldiers of our Changzhou Guard sent news that the prince has changed his strategy and plans to lure the enemy into a trap. Our people are very worried about this. I hope the general can go and persuade the prince..."
Lu Fengxian slapped the table heavily, "This is just nonsense..."
What kind of bullshit plan is this? It's totally incomprehensible. He originally thought Zhang Yu was a smart guy, but who would have thought...
The young man continued, "General, could this also be His Majesty's intention? After all, His Majesty has repeatedly urged us to fight..."
Lu Fengxian sighed, "Your Majesty is only urging us to fight, but he won't give specific orders. This strategy was probably proposed by the prince himself..."
"Then what should we do? Should we go and persuade the prince?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an urging voice came from the tent outside, "General Lu, don't delay any longer, please return to Jieyang immediately."
Lu Fengxian frowned, bent over the desk and wrote something, then handed it to a confidant beside him and said, "Send this memorial to His Majesty by express horse. The prince will obviously not let me interfere. I can only explain the key points to His Majesty, and I hope His Majesty can stop the prince..."
"Yes"
With constant urging from outside the door, Lu Fengxian did not delay any longer and took dozens of his trusted followers and rushed to Jieyang.
