Cang Ri Qing Lan

There are many political disadvantages to building a large army, and although it is not difficult to raise an army, it is not easy to mobilize and transport materials.To mobilize a large army, this must not be a small amount. Shen Haozhe is in charge of Changzhou's internal affairs, but it also requires the cooperation of all levels. For several days in a row, he has been liquidating money and food, secretly sending people to check warehouses and accounts in various places, and ordering transportation officials. Even so, he would rather be in vain than make these preparations come in handy.

Today's Yi Prince Haoxuan Canglan meets the conditions of a superior person in everything, the only shortcoming is that he acts too casually and takes his own life too lightly.Shen Haozhe frowned, thinking of Cang Lan's high spirits when facing a challenge, he turned into a wry smile, the more he thought about it, the brighter he seemed to be this kind of person, but it was too worrying...

Shen Haozhe stared unconsciously at the dancing candle flames, and before he sighed helplessly, he suddenly felt a vague figure cast by the moonlight on the window paper of the study room. The sword, just holding the hilt, the person outside the window suddenly spoke:

"Humble post to ask to see the general at night..."

Before the words were finished, Shen Haozhe had already opened the window,

"Punishment guard? What happened to the lord..." After a pause, seeing the surprise on Xing Ye's face, Shen Haozhe felt a little relieved, "That's right...you probably haven't seen him yet..."

"I'll go back to Your Highness when I see the general." The person outside the window looked dark, pursed his lips, and took out a glass-colored round card from his waist: "Sure enough, we found the army of the Hui Kingdom at the border. The Jing army fought against them... This is the badge of the Hui army obtained by taking advantage of the chaos."

After receiving the token, Shen Haozhe listened to Xing Ye's brief talk about the long-rumored overseas battle, and asked abruptly:

"The Prince of Jing, Ye Qingling...is he really Master Ye?"

Xing Ye was taken aback for a moment, before he could speak, Shen Haozhe said again:

"My lord asked you to help him?"

"No." Xing Ye answered quickly this time, but fell silent after finishing this sentence, but Cang Lan didn't personally ask him to help Qing Ling, but...

Shen Haozhe stared at Xing Ye's tired face, and found clues from those star-like black eyes. He frowned, and suddenly said:

"Please tell the lord that the criminal guards told the lord that my younger brother was lost before. The person who informed the lower officials that the younger brother is in the lord's mansion is not the emperor but Master Ye Qingling."

Bitterness and struggle flashed across his face, Shen Haozhe's reminders to Xing Ye are naturally familiar, but Cang Lan may not be unaware.However, although Xing Ye could roughly know what Cang Lan wanted to do, he didn't know why Cang Lan did it. Besides, he didn't have the qualifications to delve into it. All he could do was execute the order:

"I've made a note of my humiliation, so I'll take my leave."

"Wait," Shen Haozhe had already spoken before he felt a little abrupt, "...If there is a mistake in the battle, please protect the prince well by the criminal guards. I...the generals of Changzhou will definitely go to rescue."

"I will do my best for my humble duty." In an instant, his eyes were as deep as a cold pool, and Xing Ye's upright figure became more and more upright. It's good to be entrusted."

The obviously hostile words made Shen Haozhe startled, and he didn't know how to answer the words, the other party had already disappeared into the darkness.Of course he didn't notice that his words hit Xing Ye's sore spot. From Shen Haozhe's point of view, it was not easy to be Cang Lan's bodyguard. Can do it and regret it.

Yiyan arrived at the river a day earlier than the agreed time, and the march all the way was smoother than expected. Even so, he didn't feel the slightest relaxation. The ice field in Beiling was too cold, and the river surface was covered with layers of ice. Bing, it may be very difficult for Cang Lan's boat to come in from Haikou.And the rations carried by the army will run out. If Cang Lan's supplies can't arrive on time, then this army that goes deep behind the enemy's rear will face a desperate situation. Morale is a serious blow, so he can't reveal these worries to anyone.

Even if he had such worries, Tiangong was not so beautiful, and Xiaoxue continued to sleep intermittently.

"Your rheumatism doesn't seem to be better?"

Hao Lianyu got out of the cold before climbing into bed, but he still felt that Cang Lan's body temperature was higher than before.

"Really don't use medicinal wine..."

"No. It stinks."

"You..." Hao Lianyu gritted his teeth, "I understand, you haven't suffered enough!"

Only Cang Lan knew whether he had suffered enough, but after Xin Da and Xing Dan became the big water army, he basically didn't move much. In Hao Lianyu's words, he could seal the ice with less breath.However, the problem that should come will always come. One day later, I have arrived at the mouth of the Qinghe River. The wide and choppy waters, even Lei Jiao feels that something is not good. The reefs protruding from the water feel like there is a dam at the mouth of the Qinghe River, but the desire to step on the land has not diminished at all:

"Why did you stop?"

"It's useless to be anxious. The water here is too shallow for ships to enter the estuary, and this spring is extremely cold, and the snow in the upper reaches has not yet melted." Sinda's boat approached, effectively dispersing Lei Jiao's attention, "The reason why Beiling is negligent in guarding against this side is that the sea ships that came before have not been able to enter the inland river smoothly."

"So that's how it is!" Lei Jiao didn't know if he had listened, and his flattery on his face was definitely impure motives: "Boss, why don't you let me go to your side, your boat is so brisk, you can definitely pass it! "

"Lei Da is in charge, Xin Da is now the commander of the Great Water Army, it's not good to be called the big boss." Lu Dan took a step, just blocking Xin Da in an unbiased way.

"It's just a title, what's the point!" Sinda giggled, staggered the sheet, and said confidently, "My boat can barely get in, but if the prince's fleet can't get through, we can just go in." We can park nearby."

"That can't be done, the agreed place is on the bank of Qinghe River."

Before leaving the cabin, she heard a few people talking, Cang Lan stepped on the deck and saw Lei Jiao eagerly wanting to stop the boat, so she raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows.

"I guess so. The lower reaches of the Qinghe River to Haikou are almost full of cliffs and rocks, and there are only a handful of river beaches that cavalry can reach." With his blue eyes bent, Xinda laughed, and he was not surprised at all, "So I have sent a letter in advance to call The camp sent a river boat, and as long as we wait here for two or three days, someone will come to meet us."

"Unfortunately, I didn't have to wait for two or three days."

Cang Lan knew that rushing now would be half a day later than the agreed time, and if she was two days late, Yi Yan's burden would be even heavier. Yanqian, he really didn't believe that such people existed in the world.Of course he knows that Yiyan is not a fool, but the relationship between them is almost pious, and he doesn't think about getting hurt at all, so he sometimes even doubts whether this relationship is just a simple infatuation.

"My lord is going to go now?"

"It's not a plan, it's a must." It was almost predictable that Yi Yan would look excited but not good at expressing himself after seeing him, the look in Cang Lan's eyes changed, and finally reflected the extremely relaxed joy.

Following Cang Lan's order, the baggage on the ship had been thrown into the sea, everyone was startled, and then they saw that everything was sealed with wooden barrels and floated on the sea.

"It turns out that the prince has already checked."

He glanced at Xinda who did not hide his appreciation, and suddenly said:

"It's hard to get through this. Your ship is stronger than ordinary sea ships, but it's also heavier than ordinary ships. The draft itself is too deep."

"It's the captain who can understand the performance of the ship so quickly." Cang Lan smiled, "So I can only improve until I can pass it."

"How do you improve..." Lu Dan didn't speak, his face changed, because he heard the sound of something falling into the water was obviously different from before: "Could it be..."

"It's the ship's bottom stone." Xin Da was as surprised as Teng Dan, "You lost the ship's bottom stone as well?"

"My lord...you seem to have done something you shouldn't do?" Although Lei Jiao didn't understand clearly, he still knew how to read the faces of experts.

"...and...doing this kind of thing again..." Dan Dan finally recovered from the shock, "A slightly stronger wind can blow the boat over, how do you sail a sailboat that can't sail?!"

"I don't know that."

Cang Lan smiled, and the next sentence caused everyone to cast complicated glances:

"It's you who will take the helm, don't forget what you promised me."

"Prince Yi is really an interesting person!" After a brief silence, Xinda was the second to laugh, and he didn't forget to pat the stiff sheet: "That's great! Sheet! The prince trusts you very much." !"

If Shen Haozhe was present, he would definitely feel empathy for Zun Dan's feelings, but Hao Lianyuya also sympathized with nothing to do with himself:

"You can not only torment yourself, but also torment others."

However, according to Cang Lan's words, they made the best use of everything. In any case, although the fleet was full of dangers, it finally entered the seaport, piled the cargo into the bottom of the ship where most of the bottom stone had been lost, and the sailboat barely stabilized its center of gravity.Going upstream along the river that still has ice flakes, there are black and white cliffs all the way. After a day, I finally arrived at the agreed open shallows.Not long after the signal was sent out, Zhu Wu ran in front of the soldiers and came out from behind the pile of rocks.

"I didn't see my lover show up, are you worried?"

"..." Did not answer, Cang Lan was confident and did not reveal the slightest clue, but Hao Lianyuya was a little surprised that he could notice his wavering, and quickly came to the conclusion that he was too close recently, Cang Lan turned to Zhu Wu:

"only you?"

"General Yiyan set off in the morning with half of his troops, and he asked us to catch up with you as soon as Your Highness arrives." Zhu Wu said here, looked at Xinda and Lidan, hesitated, and said: "The general said to leave There is a pirate's lair not far from here, let us send some troops to escort you."

"Need not."

Cang Lan frowned, his words were very short, and the vague strangeness in his heart made him suddenly too lazy to explain anything.

Seeing Cang Lan's expression, Hao Lianyu didn't say anything after all, while Li Dan beside him was obviously so stunned that he didn't know what to say, but Xinda laughed out loud.

"It was discovered, what a powerful general. But don't worry, the prince will leave it to us to guard."

Zhu Wu was even more suspicious when he heard the words, but he didn't dare to ask anything, and carefully stepped aside to direct the soldiers to unload the supplies.

So far, the mission of the fleet has been successfully completed, and everyone on board is relieved, only Cang Lan looks thoughtfully at the busy people.

After the cargo on the ship was unloaded, Cang Lan ordered the fleet to return on the same route, and the "Wolf God" followed Xinda's ship and continued northward.Not long after the boat sailed, it encountered the fleet recruited by Sinda. Under Sinda's signal, it quickly dispersed to the coast and disappeared.

"No wonder they boasted so much before. It's not too much to say that this section of Qinghe is her fief." Hao Lianyuya's admiration seemed to be deliberately emphatic for someone to listen to.

That was naturally the man next to him. His strange silence from just now was undoubtedly because of the general who fought in front.But Cang Lan didn't seem to listen at all, so Hao Lianyu decided not to make any detours,

"Is your lover who is sad about you avoiding you?"

In front of this person, Hao Lianyuya would always say something that made him angry, so he would always hear some answers that made him even more angry. It seems that Haoxuan Canglan exists most of the time to make him angry:

"I'm sorry why you don't avoid me more."

"You...!" Hao Lianyu immediately choked and flew into a rage, "You really think you are a rare beast?! Aren't you looking forward to seeing him? Why don't you just chase him and ask him why he didn't wait for you for a long time?"

Hearing this, Cang Lan laughed. After laughing, she took a deep look at Hao Lianyu's teeth, and then she answered seriously:

"No, it's fine like this." After a pause, his deep eyes suddenly became as sharp as a blade.

"Also, Yiyan is my general, so let's just joke about lovers in private, don't mention it in front of others."

Hao Lianyu was stunned for a moment, he immediately understood that this was not just a warning to himself, but an indication of Cang Lan's position for Yi Yan, what is this?To leave a way out for that ghost clan, or——

"Are you still afraid that he will be despised?"

After saying this, Hao Lianyuya immediately knew and guessed right, the instant stiffness of the silver-haired man fell into his eyes, "So, if a ghost climbs to a high position by relying on your bed, even if you are protecting him It will also be the target of public criticism, and I am afraid it will not end well." He snorted coldly, his eyes were obscure, "Am I his shield? You are very thoughtful for him!"

"Why? Are you still afraid of being accused?"

Cang Lan couldn't see the slightest clue in a blink of an eye, and Cang Lan's smile was as cynical as ever:

"I think a scum like me is only suitable to be compared with a villain like you."

"You still know that you are a scum?" Hao Lianyu was so angry that he didn't know if he was angry, but Cang Lan's answer made him almost forget that he was angry.

"Didn't you say that? Selfish and cold-blooded scum."

Cang Lan still said with a faint smile: "I don't deny it, I'm afraid I won't be fascinated by anyone, and I don't deserve too much sincerity from others. Smart people should stay away from us." If the other party gives unconditionally It's really just an obsession, and it might be a good thing to get it back early.

Cang Lan didn't say the following words, but Hao Lianyu's teeth were already stunned, this person could speak such gentle words so coldly.

He never deceived himself, and he also knew that the people in front of him would play with him casually just because they didn't care about his feelings.But he didn't expect this conceited and arrogant person to be so clumsy in dealing with his feelings. He clearly wanted to protect the other party but still questioned himself. He hesitated because he felt that he was not devoted enough.

The gentleness on his surface is actually enough to seduce the ruthlessness that will never be restored, but the ruthlessness he lets go of is because of his tenderness.

If you are really ruthless, how can you be afraid that you are not affectionate enough?The sad thing is that his carefulness may not be understood by the people he values.

People are so contradictory, just like Hao Lianyuya wanted to grasp Haoxuan Canglan's sincerity so much before, but now he suddenly hopes not to understand him like this, his gentleness and slowness seem to only make him sink deeper, and therefore, even if he sees Haoxuan Canglan No matter how clear it is, don't tell the truth, otherwise, he really doesn't know where to put himself.

Naturally, Zhu Wu didn't understand what Cang Lan was thinking, but after passing what he knew to Yi Yan, the general frowned in a rare way:

"Why didn't His Highness Lan go back?"

"Yes, it's going up along the Qinghe River." Zhu Wu glanced at the bamboo tube in Yiyan's hand again as he spoke, and finally couldn't help it: "Your Highness...Although it is said that it can only be removed when it is critical, I don't know why. Didn’t there be some explanation in the letter?”

"...It's almost March, time is waiting..." As if talking to himself, Yi Yan gently rubbed the sealed white wax with his thumb, and put the bamboo tube into his arms: "How about the siege equipment?"

"Still preparing." A little disappointed, Zhu Wu withdrew his gaze: "General Yiyan, do you really want to attack Wangcheng first? What if Quzhuocheng sends troops to help at this time..."

"It's best if you can come. I have already sent someone to Quyao City to send a message that we are attacking the King City."

"What... next... afternoon?" Zhu Wu never expected Yi Yan to answer this way.

Seeing the stupid Zhu Wu, Yi Yan was also taken aback: "He sent someone to pretend to be the messenger of Beiling King City...it should be more effective than the afternoon letter."

"This subordinate is rude! This subordinate wants to help!" Zhu Wunen blushed, and secretly scolded himself for being an idiot. The general was obviously using a trick, so why did he think of it as those sour cutscenes, but to put it bluntly Also blame the general for his upright expression.

Speaking of which, General Yi Yan is also an upright person who doesn't play tricks, could it be because he has been with the unpredictable and profound Prince Yi for a long time?

Leaving aside the fact that Cang Lan sneezed for no reason when Zhu Wu was slandering him, Qu Zhicheng actually sent troops to rescue Wangcheng.Watching Beiling's soldiers running towards this side from a distance, the cavalry in front and the infantry in the rear forming a long snake, and the team of no less than [-] trampled the snow-covered ground into gray mud, Zhu Wu felt a little worried:

"General, the number of enemy troops seems to be about the same as ours. This layout...even if it can defeat the reinforcements from Quzhuo City, it can't stop their retreat..."

"I'm afraid that it will cause future troubles. Wouldn't it be better to directly attack Quzhao?" One general said, Yi Yan always took the lead and would not speak harshly to his subordinates. After getting along for a long time, he was quite critical at first. All the generals have a good impression of this taciturn general, and feel that he is better at speaking than Shen Haozhe.

Before Yi Yan could speak, Zhu Wu had already answered:

"This is too time-consuming, and the siege is too damaging to the troops, so it can only be taken by surprise. Now that it is won, Beiling should deal with it. Siege is the worst strategy. It is the best to encircle them here."

"In order to advance quickly, we don't have many troops. Even if we lure the enemy out of the city, it is impossible to wipe out the enemy." A pair of blue eyes are still staring at the approaching army, Yi Yan is like a beast, patiently waiting for the order to attack Timing, "It can only attack the heart." He finally retracted his gaze, but he drew his sword in his hand: "The enemy army is coming, prepare for a surprise attack."

The surroundings immediately became quiet, and the sound of hoofbeats could be clearly heard, and the Beiling cavalry at the front quickly ran down the slope where the Jun army was hiding.

"It's now!"

Yi Yan gave an order, and the cavalry who had been preparing for a long time rushed down the slope like a wave, breaking the infantry line that followed closely behind. Most of the soldiers in Beiling were equipped with leather goggles to prevent snow blindness, but because of this, their vision was even worse. It was narrow, and the cavalry in front had no time to turn their heads before being overtaken by the army from behind.

This battle can be said to have been one-sided killings. When the order was sent to withdraw, nearly one-third of the Beiling Army had left their bodies.
