Female General And Eldest Princess

Lin Wanyue rode Long Ran all the way back to the Marshal's Mansion. When the tension was relieved, the tingling pain in her hands became more and more obvious, making Lin Wanyue still sweating profusely in the already somewhat cool northern air.

Because of this battle, Li Xian had no way to go out of the city, Lin Wanyue jumped off Long Ran Baoju and entered the commander's mansion.

A servant had already rushed to inform Li Xian. Li Xian was sitting in the main hall with two cups of warm tea on the small case waiting for Lin Feixing to return.

Lin Wanyue stepped into the door of the main hall and saw Li Xian sitting there safe and sound, the words in her heart still came out uncontrollably: "Princess, are you alright?"

Li Xian looked at Lin Feixing who was sweating profusely, and stood up to greet him: "I'm fine, but the son-in-law has fought hard, sit down and drink a cup of tea, it's still warm."

Lin Wanyue and Li Xian both sat down, seeing the tea, Lin Wanyue really felt thirsty, the moment she picked up the teacup, the muscles on her face twitched, and with a "click", the teacup fell to the ground.

The servant girl guarding the door came in immediately, Lin Wanyue said with her arms hanging down, "You guys go down first, no one will be left to serve you."

"Yes."

Lin Feixing's pained expression did not escape Li Xian's eyes. Li Xian watched strands of sweat trickling down Lin Feixing's face. The weather in the north was no longer the time to sweat.

"Are you hurting your arm again?" Although it was a question, it was a statement.

Lin Wanyue grinned, seeing that she couldn't hide it from Li Xian, she simply admitted frankly: "Well, I hurt my arm when I drew the bow. You can ask Yushu about the specific process. I won't go into details. I have other things to ask you when I come back. explain."

Li Xian sighed softly, and couldn't help recalling three years ago: the appearance of Lin Feixing standing on the city wall and pulling his bow, and that stubborn side face, she still remembers it vividly. Thinking about the battle just now, this person must have committed a stubborn temper again .

Li Xian was a little emotional: such a stubborn person would willingly accept the stake he had placed.

"What's the son-in-law, let's talk after drinking the water." Li Xian pushed her cup to Lin Feixing.

He also thought that the man had just injured his arm, turned his head, and saw Lin Feixing's embarrassed face, he raised his arm with difficulty, the muscles on his face twitched, he just remained silent, gritted his teeth and held the cup with his hand.

Li Xian got up, walked to Lin Feixing's side, stretched out her catkin, and pressed Lin Feixing's hand.

Lin Wanyue only felt the back of her hand go soft, it was cold and comfortable, she looked at Li Xian's hand, and was stunned, since the last time she spoke, she hadn't been so "close" to Li Xian for a long time...

"Let me do it."

Lin Wanyue raised her head when she heard Li Xian's voice, and blinked at Li Xian, not understanding what Li Xian was going to do.

Li Xian pursed her lips helplessly at Lin Feixing's slowness.

Only then did Lin Wanyue realize the meaning of Li Xian's words, she stared blankly at Li Xian with disbelief in her eyes, and slowly withdrew her hand holding the cup.

Li Xian picked up the water glass and handed it to Lin Feixing's lips. She shouted so many words and shed a little sweat, which made Lin Feixing's lips dry and white. Kong felt that this water was the sweetest water she had ever drank.

Li Xian's sudden tenderness made Lin Wanyue at a loss, her mind went blank, and she could only hear her own heart beating like a drum.

She didn't recover until Li Xian sat back in her seat and called her several times.

"Consort?"

"Ah! Princess..."

Li Xian was a little helpless, she didn't understand why Lin Feixing refused to give up on her, let alone why she thought of feeding him water.

"What do you want to say, sir?"

"Oh, oh! Princess, I want you to write a letter and report it to your father. There are frequent wars in the northern border, so it is not appropriate to return to Beijing!"

Li Xian pondered for a moment, then replied: "I'm afraid it won't work. Brother Yong has been inactive for many days. It may not be appropriate to procrastinate any longer. Thanks to the crisp autumn weather in the northern border, otherwise... I don't think my father would want Brother Yong's soul to be homeless." Yes, if the son-in-law is worried, I will bring more people."

"No, you can't go no matter what. I don't feel at ease no matter how many people you bring with you on the road alone."

Li Xian didn't answer, Lin Wanyue was already used to this kind of Li Xian, so she calmed down and continued, "Listen to me, the matter is urgent, you can truthfully report the information I'll tell you later to Emperor Father, he will understand! Just now the Xiongnu The army invaded, roughly estimated to be at least [-], and four catapults appeared from the Huns!"

Li Xian's heart skipped a beat and she looked at Lin Feixing.

Lin Wanyue continued: "I have been in the army for five years, and I have never seen the Huns use a catapult as a siege weapon, and I have read many books. This is the first time the Huns used a catapult! This catapult is theirs. People don’t know how to create, and there is no need to create, and the war within the Huns is simply useless, what does this mean!?”

Lin Wanyue's voice came to an abrupt end, and the two looked at each other with the same mind: This means that there are spies from other countries in the Xiongnu, who provided them with the technology of catapults!

"The four catapults have been seized. I have ordered people to pull the catapults into the city. If the princess is interested, you can go and have a look and see how the Huns' catapults are different from mine. Fortunately, This time the Xiongnu came in a hurry, bringing only four catapults, and did not form a large-scale attack, but who knows next time? I know that Yangguan City may not be safe, but the Huns are so weird, I am afraid that the spies will learn about you Whereabouts, it’s not good for you on the way. Didn’t the emperor have already ordered Brother Qi to lead troops to reinforce? When you go again, I can personally escort you, or ask Brother Qi to escort you. In short, you Can't go now!"

Lin Wanyue finished speaking in one breath, and coughed heavily. She pulled the bow too hard just now, and it pulled to her chest. She thought that her internal injury would be healed after a few days of rest. There was a twitch in his chest.

Li Xian looked at Lin Feixing worriedly, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll write a letter to Father immediately to explain the reason, and let Father know about the catapult as soon as possible. "

Lin Wanyue managed to stop her coughing, her face turned red, and she continued: "That's right, I need craftsmen sent by the imperial court to make city crossbows to restrain the catapults. If you are caught off guard, next time the catapults will form a large scale, coupled with the ladders and siege logs, the battle will be even more difficult!"

"Don't get too excited, son-in-law, the matter will be resolved!" Li Xian poured another cup of tea and handed it to Lin Feixing. This time, Lin Wanyue held the cup with both hands and drank the water in the cup.

"Princess can go and see the catapult that was brought back later."

"Ah."

With a "snap", Lin Wanyue thumped the small case heavily, and said heartbroken, "I don't understand!"

"What is the son-in-law thinking?"

"I can't figure out who is helping the Huns! How can I help the Huns? The Huns and I have a deep blood feud! How much food is robbed of us every year? How many people suffer at the border? How many bloody soldiers died here On this piece of land? The Huns are bad wolves who don’t know how to raise them! I don’t know what conspiracy is behind this, but now the people behind this are disregarding the lives of the people in the northern border, and now they have taught the Huns to use catapults. Once people have tasted the sweetness, they will use more siege weapons to deal with Liguo in the future, and how many soldiers will be sacrificed in the next few years!"

The more Lin Wanyue spoke, the more excited she became, her chest twitched and she coughed again.

Li Xian bit her lower lip, her face was gloomy, she had to figure out some things.

"I don't care, I want to act first! Before the Huns' catapults are manufactured on a large scale, inflict heavy damage on the Huns, and it is best to smash their alliance!"

Lin Wanyue thoughtlessly dropped such a sentence, got up, and strode out of the main hall.

Li Xian watched Lin Feixing's back disappear, she sat silent for a long time, and called out, "Xiaoci."

"The servant is here, what is your Highness' order?"

Li Xian's eyes flickered, and she said coldly: "Ask Youqin to come see me."

"Yes."

……

Lin Wanyue walked into the big tent, and all the generals above the rank of general were present. There were two rows of stools in the big tent, and there were people sitting on them, and some were standing. The spacious big tent seemed very crowded at this moment.

"Big guy!"

"En." Lin Wanyue nodded, walked behind the big case and sat down.

The two chairs on the left and right of the first seat were Bai Ruida and An Chengbi respectively. Lin Feixing asked the two of them, "Have you explained the matter clearly?"

"Yes."

"Then let's talk about it, generals, don't hold back, and brainstorm, how do you think the next battle will be fought?"

An Chengbi took the lead and said: "Commander, the last general has joined the army for more than 20 years, and he has never seen the Huns use catapults. The subordinates think that this time the Huns coalition forces are very strange!"

Bai Ruida replied: "That's right, we have seen the power of this catapult just now. Fortunately, there are only four of them. If it becomes large-scale, the consequences may be disastrous."

After Bai Ruida finished speaking, the generals in the tent nodded in agreement.

Lin Feixing leaned back and said, "My father means that the Xiongnu's alliance is coming in a fierce manner. Now that the people in the northern border have retreated, my father hopes that our army can occupy the geographical advantage and focus on defense. Wait for the cold winter and reduce the number of unstoppable forces." The necessary damage is to defeat the enemy at the right time; but I think that at this time and at that time, the Huns did not have catapults before, and our army can still rely on the new city to defend for a while. The current situation is urgent, and the longer it is delayed, the more unfavorable it is to our army. Now that there are four catapults, it is not difficult to manufacture them in large quantities. We have given the Huns plenty of time. When we come back next time, I am afraid it will not be four, but ten or even more! The Huns do not have a fixed city, and we want to Taking the initiative to attack is like finding a needle in a haystack, but Yangguan City is here, we can't blindly be passively beaten!"

"The final general thinks what the commander-in-chief said is true!"

"That's right!"

"Fight to the death! There is no one in the northern border who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"The final general depends entirely on the command of the commander-in-chief!"
