289: Serious Men Are the Most Difficult to Deal With

Qin Guansheng put away his knife and spoke slowly, "If you don't have some skills, how can you come here?"

It seems so.

"Sir, are you going to take action today?" Li Shu has been with his master for many years, from a small soldier to a centurion, so he is naturally loyal to him and protects him.

Qin Guansheng is not very familiar with the Crown Princess, and doesn't know her temperament very well. Now he can't figure it out, so he just said: "Be prepared first..."

"Sir!" A soldier hurried over with sweat on his face, "Sir, I just got the news that the Crown Princess led people to set fire to the Tatar camp outside the outer city of Yulin Guard. The commander of Yulin Guard took the opportunity to send troops out of the city. The two sides attacked and defeated the Tatar army. More than half of the enemy troops were killed or wounded, and they retreated in embarrassment."

Qin Guansheng:...

Li Shu:...

Say it again?

The Crown Princess actually fought a battle on the way to meet them?

It's a bit outrageous. They have less than a thousand people. How dare they take action?

No wonder Yulin Guard is willing to borrow troops.

Li Shu looked at his master carefully, and sure enough, he saw that his master's expression was not very good.

If it were him, it would not be very good either.

Oh, the face of the Three Thousand Camp.

It hurts a little.

After they arrived at Yunxiangwei, they acted according to the plan of the Crown Princess. They harassed the enemy everywhere for the past two or three days, ran away when provoked, turned around and fought when there were few people chasing, and ran like a grandson when there were many people chasing. Compared with this, it is indeed a bit embarrassing.

The Crown Princess did not do this thing properly. Not only did she change the plan, but she also did a big deal at once. They detoured from Yulinwei. Although they did not meet the enemy troops besieging Yulinwei, the spies reported the situation of Yulinwei, which was quite pessimistic.

Qin Guansheng stood up, raised his head and stared in the direction of Yulinwei for a long time, then looked at Li Shu, "I don't want you to lose face in this battle of Yunxiangwei, do a good job."

It's enough to have a painful face once.

Li Shu: ...

The sky gradually darkened, Qin Guansheng asked the soldiers who were scouting to spy on the enemy again. They had just attacked the enemy this morning and were chased for a long time before they ran out. Now the Crown Princess is about to arrive, and he must grasp the latest enemy situation outside Yunxiangwei.

Li Shu prepared his troops and ran over in a hurry, "Sir, it's getting dark soon, why hasn't the Crown Princess arrived yet?"

According to the pace, they should have arrived long ago.

Qin Guansheng looked at Li Shu, "Why are you in a hurry? Let everyone wait quietly."

Li Shu responded and turned away. Qin Guansheng looked up at the night sky. There were only sparse stars tonight, and even the moon was half hidden in the clouds. They didn't dare to light a bonfire for fear of being discovered by the enemy. It was actually very dangerous for two thousand people to stay here. They were less than twenty miles away from the enemy.

Qin Guansheng seemed to feel something, turned around and looked towards the vast night.

Soon, there was the sound of horse hooves. When he walked in, he saw the Crown Princess turn over and get off the horse, and he immediately went to meet her.

"Your subordinate greets the Crown Princess." Qin Guansheng said.

"Lord Qin, there is no need to be polite." Su Xinyi looked at Qin Guansheng and smiled, "What's the situation?"

Qin Guansheng said, "The enemy has increased patrols tonight, and it seems that they are inclined to attack at night. We have been biting them for the past few days. I guess they are tired of it. They are either really attacking the city or trying to lure us out."

Su Xinyi didn't even take a breath to hear such news. She looked at Qin Guansheng and asked, "What plans does Lord Qin have?"

Qin Guansheng said, "Your subordinates will follow the orders of the Crown Princess."

After all, this person is the one who attacks the enemy troops of Yulin Guard at the slightest disagreement.

Su Xinyi felt Qin Guansheng's subtle tone and suddenly laughed, "Master Qin seems a little unhappy?"

Qin Guansheng said with a straight face, "Of course not."

Su Xinyi looked at the people around and waved her hand, and sat down first, "Everyone sit down, let's discuss the next action. Before that, let me tell you a good news, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will send 20,000 troops to Yunxiangwei."

Everyone was stunned, His Royal Highness sent troops?

That is to say, the battle of Yunxiangwei is not a small fight, it's like tickling, everyone immediately became energetic.

Su Xinyi said this, looked at Qin Guansheng and said: "After I met up with His Highness, His Highness knew that the situation in Yunxiangwei was not optimistic, so he decided to deal with the enemy forces in Yunxiangwei first. If we want to go outside, it is more concealed to leave from Yunxiangwei than from Yulinwei."

Qin Guansheng heard the Crown Princess mention that it was the Crown Prince's intention, so he nodded, "I have led people to walk around dozens of miles around here in the past few days. The situation in Yunxiangwei is indeed not optimistic. The first thing is the food and grass."

Because the enemy arrived before the summer harvest, many crops suffered. This year's grain harvest will definitely be greatly reduced, and it is hard to say how long the food in the city can last. It depends on the daily reserves.

Two years ago, the Tatars were seriously injured and defeated. Everyone must have thought that the Tatars would not make a big move in recent years, and they might not be able to prepare enough food.

Moreover, the Tartars trapped Yunxiangwei and sent soldiers to burn, kill and loot everywhere to replenish their food and grass. If this situation continues, the Yunxiangwei garrison will definitely not shrink their necks all the time. It is hard to say what will happen when that happens.

Su Xinyi listened to Qin Guansheng's detailed description of Yunxiangwei's situation. After he finished speaking, she said, "Lord Qin is very observant and what he said is very true, so Yunxiangwei must fight this battle, but not now. We have to meet up with His Highness's people. Before that, we should continue with the previous plan."

Qin Guansheng's mouth twitched. Harassment, sneak attack, and then escape?

Su Xinyi couldn't help laughing at Qin Guansheng's expression and said, "We have a little more this time, so we can set up a small ambush. What do you think, Lord Qin?"

Qin Guansheng hadn't expressed his opinion yet, but Li Shu's eyes lit up. This was really great. He didn't have to run for his life all the time.

Qin Guansheng had memorized the surrounding terrain in the past few days, so he told Su Xinyi where it was suitable for ambush and how to lure the enemy. Su Qi, Huang Kan and others occasionally gave some suggestions.

Su Qi really learned a lot these days. These are things that can't be learned from books or in the capital. Only when you really get to the battlefield can you understand them.

Based on his experience dealing with the Crown Princess during this period of time, Qin Guansheng thought that this might not be a small ambush, but he didn't object, so he nodded in agreement.

"Crown Princess, how do you want to lure the enemy?" Qin Guansheng asked. He wanted to see how the Crown Princess would do it.

Su Xinyi thought about it. When hunting, don't you always dig traps, and then make some noise from other directions to scare the prey and let it jump into the trap.

Then this principle can actually work on the battlefield. She carefully asked Qin Guansheng how he harassed the enemy these days. After asking, she found a problem. Lord Qin did things in a proper way. He was a typical general taught by military books.

But Su Xinyi was different. Her thinking was more jumping. Because of the different living environment, when she was young, she had to do everything she could to catch the prey she wanted, so she did whatever method was useful.

"Send out scouts to scout the enemy first." Su Xinyi said.

"I've already gone." Qin Guansheng said.

Su Xinyi was not surprised. She glanced at Qin Guansheng and continued, "Can Lord Qin draw a general map of the surrounding dozens of miles?"

Qin Guansheng paused, broke a grass stem and drew the road around Yunxiangwei on the ground.

Su Xinyi took a look and it slowly overlapped with the map in her mind. Because the map in her hand was a large one, it was not so detailed. Now that Qin Guansheng had drawn it, it basically matched.

"Your Highness's reinforcements came from Zhangping Prefecture, which is the east." Su Xinyi marked the direction of Zhangping Prefecture on the map drawn by Qin Guansheng, and then looked at everyone, "Then we can't let the enemy find the reinforcements, so we go west."

Huang Kan nodded slightly, "If we go west, there are many mountain roads here, which is just right for ambushes."

Su Qi and Li Shu also nodded, but Li Shu had more experience. He said, "If there are many mountain roads, there are also disadvantages, that is, the speed will be delayed when retreating, and it is easy to be caught up by the enemy."

The more dangerous the place, the more it tests riding skills. To a certain extent, they will have an innate disadvantage compared to the Tatars.

The Tatar cavalry is not a mountain bandit. They grew up on horseback since childhood. They are fierce, strong, and have superb riding skills. The soldiers of the Southern Qi Dynasty did suffer.

Su Xinyi looked at Li Shu and smiled, "Horses are just a means of transportation. It is people who decide the outcome. Fighting depends not only on brute force, but also on brains. If the enemy is a good rider, then let him have no horse to ride."

"No horse to ride?" Qin Guansheng seemed to have thought of something, and glanced at the Crown Princess again. Can the talent for fighting be inherited?

Su Xinyi nodded, "Yes, let them have no horse to ride. It would be a pity not to use such a good terrain."

Things like horse traps and trip ropes are really suitable for use in such places.

Qin Guansheng was silent for a while, quite annoyed. Why didn't he think of it before?

Su Qi glanced at his sister. She was completely different from her at home. Although the words were said in a gentle and amiable way, they made everyone excited all of a sudden. His sister was very good at mobilizing everyone's emotions.

Although Qin Guansheng did things in a conventional way, Su Xinyi quickly arranged them properly after discussing with him. It was really vigorous and resolute. Such a person would be very liked by any commander.

There was a fire burning in everyone's heart. Seeing the Yunxiang Guard trapped and the crops outside the city being trampled, anger burned in their hearts, and they wished they could drive these Tartars out immediately.

Su Xinyi was ready to go, and Qin Guansheng led the horse in front, "Crown Princess, I am willing to be the vanguard."

He didn't care if the Crown Princess of Yulin Guard took the lead, but here, he couldn't let the Crown Princess take risks. If something went wrong, he couldn't explain to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Su Xinyi:...

Tsk!

Serious men are really the most difficult to deal with.

Su Xinyi trusted Qin Guansheng's ability and didn't bother with him. He immediately said: "Okay, I'll take people to ambush in front and wait for Lord Qin to return."

Qin Guansheng thought it would be difficult to convince the Crown Princess, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. At this moment, his opinion of the Crown Princess really changed.
