Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

Chapter 218 The War in the North (1)

 Gu Panxia got up and walked to the place where a small patch of echinacea was planted. He stopped, turned back and said to his frown: "It was Mr. Wen who sent you back last night. I saw it with my own eyes."

Hearing this, frowning, his eyes widened suddenly, and he stuttered: "You...you mean, it was Wen Shucheng who sent me back?"

 Gu Panxia nodded and said warmly: "Yes, so Mr. Wen is not as resistant to the princess as he appears. I believe that one day, Mr. Wen will accept you."

 Unless Wen Shucheng's heart is really hard-hearted.

The corners of his frown rose higher and higher, "Are you telling the truth?"

 Gu Panxia sneered, "Of course, I believe I'm not the only one who saw it. The prince and Dongcao Fuling should also have seen it."

Frowning, he lowered his head and pursed his lips. Gu Panxia only heard a burst of laughter like silver bells echoing in his ears.

 In the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were flames of war and chaos everywhere.

In the military camp area, Lu Yuan was wearing a deputy general's armor and holding a yellowed blueprint. What was depicted on it was the terrain map of the northern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

“Yuan’er, maybe you can guess where those barbarian troops are now?” Lu Yi asked with a frown.

Lu Yuan shook his head, "This is my first time to the north. I don't know much about the environment here yet, but..."

He pointed to the only river depicted in the picture and said: "If I guess correctly, they should choose to stop on both sides of the river bank."

 This river is the only river on the northern border. If you stop elsewhere, it will definitely be inconvenient to get water.

Lu Yi frowned, "Now that we are in the upper reaches, is it possible that they will be in the lower reaches?"

Lu Yuan said lightly: "It's not impossible, but this river has many branches and twists and turns. If you follow the river to find it, you will definitely have to waste a lot of effort. Those barbarian troops stationed in the north must be better than We understand the terrain here, and if we are accidentally ambushed, we will suffer heavy losses."

Lu Yi nodded and said thoughtfully: "Then what should we do now?"

Lu Yuan has always been smart and flexible, and Lu Yi always listens to what he says.

Lu Yuan shook his head slightly, "Currently I can't think of a way to get the best of both worlds. For now, I can only wait and see what happens."

Lu Yi disagreed and said worriedly: "Just wait and see what happens? Now that we have just arrived, we have already lost a thousand soldiers. If we don't attack, won't we let the other side be proud?"

 Speaking of this, Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly. As soon as they arrived in the north, due to a moment of inadvertence, they were defeated by the opponent.

He raised his eyes slightly, his jade-like face was calm, "What's the point of being anxious? We can't find where the barbarians live. If we move forward blindly, wouldn't we lose more?"

Lu Yi always had to be 100% sure before doing anything. The reason why he was in such a hurry now was naturally because he was ambushed by the enemy when he arrived and lost thousands of soldiers.

Lu Yi also found that his heart was a little too impetuous. He calmed down for a moment and suddenly sighed: "I didn't think carefully. Now my morale has been damaged before the war started. I'm worried..."

 After he finished speaking, he frowned, shook his head and sighed.

Having fought so many victorious battles, this is the first time I feel that this war is so difficult.

"What are you afraid of, father? You have fought more difficult wars than this one. This is just a mere tens of thousands of barbarian troops. What are you afraid of?"

They have 300,000 soldiers in their hands, while the barbarians only have a few tens of thousands. The most they can do is to set up ambushes and sneak attacks when they are not prepared. If they have to fight head-on, they have little chance of winning. nothing.

Many people don’t like to read backstage comments, so I’ll let you know here that I have something going on at home recently, so the update is very slow. Sorry, I’m still in the hospital. I’ll update it first and continue when I get back.
