Chapter 44: Who's More at Fault?

  "Alright, the mystery is about to be revealed, but don't rush to scold, this arrangement has some problems, but it's for future needs, bear with me ⊙﹏⊙"

  The man and two women were enthusiastically discussing poetry, which left the surrounding soldiers somewhat bewildered - were they fighting a war or appreciating poetry?

  Yun Jiajun did not know the true thoughts of Yun Zhong and Beishan Wuxue, nor did the Liao army understand the thoughts of the Qionghua princess. The two sides had tens of thousands of troops staring blankly at each other, waiting for the leaders to finish their talks before deciding whether to continue fighting or not.

  Yun Zhēn was anxious too, he was in a hurry to catch Xi Luo, so that he could get the antidote for Yun Gang. Although he boasted loudly, in reality he didn't know how to deal with poison and didn't have any friends who were experts at using poison. If he didn't quickly get his hands on the antidote that Yun Gang needed, if Yun Gang died, then this trip would basically be a waste!

  However, he had already seen the martial arts of the Lord of Qionghua County earlier, and although it was not necessarily better than his own, it was estimated to be about the same level. Moreover, there were two green-robed men on the opposite side, whose martial arts were also impressive. As for Xi Luo, although he had been injured in the left shoulder, his main strength lay in using poison, and the injury to his left shoulder would not have a significant impact on his use of poison. Calculating this way, they did not have the upper hand at all, so he could only hold back for now and wait for an opportunity to strike. As for Beishan Wuxue, she was originally just assisting Yun Ting, and since Yun Ting himself was not making a move, there was no need for her to be so proactive.

  The key is the mistress of Qionghua County, why is she so slow?

  Yun Cong suddenly felt that something was not quite right. Since the appearance of Qionghua Junzhu, the situation had already turned in favor of the Liao army, but she did not take advantage of the opportunity to attack or coerce Yun Cong. Instead, she came and went discussing poetry - this was strange!

  Yun Cong's heart suddenly tightened: Could it be that the main force of the Liao army is about to arrive? Although the scout's report said that the main force of the Liao army was only at Nantai Nan Mountain yesterday, if they hurried today, it wouldn't be impossible for them to reach Jiabi Gou. But there was something strange - why would the Liao army suddenly speed up their march? Unless... unless the main force of the Liao army had guessed that its vanguard would be ambushed at Jiabi Gou today!

  That's the only reasonable explanation. Yun Zhong secretly cursed his bad luck, it was no longer important how the Liao army's main force had guessed it, what was important was that if things were indeed so, then the Princess of Qionghua was obviously intentionally delaying time, so that she and Yun Gang's nearly 30,000 cavalry would be trapped in the Jiaxi Gou, which was actually not suitable for cavalry battles. Then the Liao army's main force would arrive, and they would be squeezed into the "ditch" to catch them off guard!

  Yun Cong thought to himself that his 30,000 Iron Cavalry had become a mere dish in others' eyes. He suddenly felt cold sweat on his back and glanced at the smiling and charming Princess Qionghua. He thought to himself that this woman looked delicate and gentle, but her actions were ruthless, actually planning to wipe out all 30,000 of his Iron Cavalry! It seemed she really intended to "invite" him to be a guest in the Imperial Capital!

  "The princess, there is something unclear below, and I would like to ask the princess to enlighten me." Yun Ting suddenly said with a smile.

  The county master's eyes rippled and she smiled: "Young Master, if you have any questions, just ask. If I know the answer, I naturally won't keep it private."

  "Haha, that's good." Yun Cong smiled and asked casually, "I wonder how many miles away the great army of General Xiao Tianzuo of Beiyuan is from here? Do you want to go and welcome them?"

  Qionghua Junzhu's pair of bright eyes stared at Yun Zheng, looking for a long time, until Beishan Wuxue's face showed some impatience, before suddenly smiling: "Zhicao is really curious, General Yun has already seen through the mystery, but why... doesn't seem to care at all?"

  "Does it matter? Hehe." Yun Zheng smiled leisurely and said, "You have Zhang Liang's strategy, I have the ladder to climb over the wall. Xiao Tian Su can indeed lead his troops to rush here and surround us, wanting to capture us all at once. But who has decided that my father cannot also lead his troops to rush here after Xiao Tian Su arrives, to put on a show for the people of the world, a play of the mantis catching the cicada, with the oriole waiting behind?"

  Jianghuang Junzhu's face changed for the first time since she appeared, but it disappeared in an instant and returned to her usual smiling expression. She smiled and said: "Although Shao Shuai said something so intimidating, as if all our actions are within Shao Shuai's prediction, but I don't know if Shao Shuai can explain one or two things for Zhijun. When did you get in touch with Yunshan Junzhu?"

  "This is a military secret, I'm afraid I have nothing to report."

  Qionghua Junzhu covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "I'm afraid it's not whether it's confidential or not, but rather that there's simply 'nothing to report', isn't that right, Yun Shaojun?"

  "The county chief understood it this way, and didn't mind at all." Yun Zheng chuckled and turned around leisurely, looking around and seeing Yun Xi's slightly anxious face. Yun Zheng secretly gave a signal with his eyes, stealthily stretching out two fingers, first together then apart. Yun Xi's gaze shifted, and he nodded lightly.

  Yun Cong turned back, continuing from where he left off, saying: "Anyway, it won't be long before the truth is revealed, and when that time comes, there will naturally be evidence to prove it. What do you think, County Master?"

  The King of Qionghua had not spoken yet, but the vanguard general of Liao, Orlon Wang Yelü Chirai, who had already bandaged his wounded hand, interrupted and said: "Can you see through the strategy of General Xiao? It's hard to say whether Yunlan has returned to the capital of Yan now, how can he lead troops to come? Are you fooling a child?"

  He interrupted, and Yun Zheng immediately saw the faint frown on the face of the Lord of Qionghua County. After he finished speaking, Yun Zheng looked at the Lord of Qionghua County and smiled: "Does the county lord also think so?" He had long seen that although Ye Lü Ci Lei was a royal uncle, he couldn't put on airs in front of the Lord of Qionghua County. Whatever happened within the borders of Liao, Yun Zheng didn't care to guess now; knowing the outcome was enough. Therefore, he didn't mind Ye Lü Ci Lei's words and instead asked for the county lord's opinion.

  But the Princess of Qionghua only smiled lightly, but never said yes or no. Yun Zheng smiled and lowered his head, his left hand made a gesture towards Beishan Wuxue in a position where the Princess of Qionghua and Yelü Chilie couldn't see. When he raised his head to look around, he saw that the Yun family army had already mounted their horses and formed up on one side, while the Liao army was still scattered about the original location waiting for the orders of the Princess of Qionghua and Yelü Chilie.

  Although the lord of Qionghua County was highly skilled in martial arts and cautious in thought, he wasn't from a military background after all. He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the current situation, nor did he have the leisure to think about why Yun Jiajun had quietly led his troops away to one side. With a smile on his face, he looked at Yun Ting, analyzing in his heart the possibility of Yun Lian leading the army to arrive.

  Yelü Chilu should have been able to detect that something was amiss, but since the arrival of the Junhua County Master, Yelü Chilu's gaze had hardly shifted from her, constantly revolving around her. As a result, he didn't even notice that the Yun family army had quietly withdrawn from the battlefield and reorganized their formation.

  Yun Luan heard the news and first sent Yun Ting to hurry back, while he himself had to report to the Emperor. At least by tomorrow, he could arrive in Yanjing. He couldn't possibly use his lightness skill to rush like Yun Ting, so even if he arrived in Yanjing, it would be at least yesterday. If he only arrived in Yanjing city yesterday, then today, no matter what, he wouldn't be able to bring a large army! Qiong Hua Junzhu finally calculated the time and shook her head: "Although Qiong doesn't understand military affairs, after calculating it out, she still feels that your father will definitely not arrive at this ravine today."

  Yun Cong burst out laughing: "Of course, it's too late to catch up - Yan Yun Qi, charge! - Miss Bei Shan, assist me!" Yun Cong's white robe fluttered as he suddenly charged towards the Princess of Qionghua!

  Division line

  Alright, a small mystery has been revealed.

  Some people say that war is about which side makes the fewest mistakes. Yelü Chiluayue made the first mistake, then Yun Zheng made a mistake, and then Quanhuajun Zhu made a mistake due to lack of experience and neglecting defense...

  Well, well, no more words, those who are still unhappy can go to the book review section to scold, haha.
