Emperor's Red Makeup: The Duke is too black

Chapter 345
Tabayu's chopstick-holding hand froze slightly, then sat down, and with the most dignified expression, said slowly: "Yu'er would like to ask Lord Hou, among the three cities of Jianshui, Linshui, and Tianshui, which one is farther away from us?" The nearest border town?"

Xue Yingchen didn't know why she would ask such a question, but she still answered, "Tianshui City. Although it is close to the border town, it will take at least two days."

"So which one is the farthest?" asked Tabayu.

Xue Yingchen lowered his eyes: "Jian Shuicheng."

"In this way, there is only one Linshui city left. As far as Yu'er knows, Jianshui, Linshui, and Tianshui exist in a triangular position on the border between the Kingdom of Jin and Dayan, and the closest to the border city is also far away from the city. Gu Gu Ridge is the farthest, and the emperor who wants to come to the Kingdom of Jin will not only send [-] troops to garrison, so in turn, Jianshui City is the farthest and closest to Gu Gu Ridge, which is their main supply city. few."

Xue Yingchen understood what she meant, but frowned and said, "Even Linshui may take three days to arrive. If the army marches, the other party's spies will definitely notice it. If so, it will be impossible to attack the city."

Ta Bayu nodded, "Yes, if the army marches, it will naturally be impossible to attack the city. Even if it does attack, it will be surrounded by the army of Jianshui, Tianshui, and Gu Guling. It is futile and will lose troops. But Hou Ye has Have you ever thought about ambushing them on the only way they must pass to deliver food and grass?"

"What does the princess mean?" Xue Yingchen looked at Tabayu suspiciously. Looking at the woman in front of him now, he felt as if he had seen another person. He was confident and calm, as if he had everything in his hands.

In particular, Ta Bayu looks a lot like her, but not that much.

Only the eyes are the most similar place, they are all so persistent and confident.

Tart Bayu was suddenly stared at by Xue Yingchen, her pretty face blushed slightly, "What is Hou Ye thinking?"

"I offended you, I was distracted just now, please forgive me, princess." Xue Yingchen thought about it.

"It's nothing." Ta Bayu didn't know what Xue Yingchen thought just now, but she always felt that the way he looked at her just now was weird, as if he was looking at another person through herself.

But who would it be?
She regained her composure and continued: "If you send someone to set fire to the grain and grass that Linshui City delivered to Gu Guling, the other party will definitely think that Hou Ye is going to attack Linshui City in the middle, but they are worried that what if Hou Ye just released smoke? Afterwards, the real target is actually the nearest Tianshui City. In this way, their main forces will be placed in the two places of Gu Guling and Tianshui, and the real target of Lord Hou's attack is the unexpected Linshui City. gone."

"Yes, Jianshui City is the closest to Gu Gu Ridge." Xue Yingchen said.

It's not that he didn't think about the target of the siege, but Jianshui is the closest to Gu Gu Ridge, if there is no way to take Gu Gu Ridge, their army will be wiped out.

Ta Bayu recalled the contents of the secret letter, and then said solemnly: "Then, if Jianshui is captured before Gu Guling's rescue arrives, Lord Hou will have a way to defend Jianshui City and wait for the counterattack of another [-] troops. surrounded?"

This time, Xue Yingchen fell into deep thought.

If Linshui City is really captured, he is sure to defend the city for [-] days, enough time for the other [-] troops in his hands to deal with Jianshui and Tianshui's [-] troops to join him.

At that time, as long as the large army in Gu Gu Ridge dared to come out, they would only be confronted by the enemy.

If they don't come out, they will also run out of food, grass and weapons.

However, such a simple truth, would Fu Yelan not think of it?
"The princess seems to have forgotten that the opponent's emperor, Feng Yelan, has already personally sat in Gu Gu Ling."

Tarbayu was startled, seeing Xue Yingchen staring at her closely, her palms could not help but start to sweat, she just covered her sleeves lightly, drank a glass of wine, and then said calmly: "This is what Lord Hou was worried about. I have also learned some techniques of spying on people's hearts. In fact, taking a proud person like Feng Yelan as an example, he doesn't think you will attack Linshui. Do what you can, so as to withdraw the army from the ravines and ridges, and wipe you out."

"The princess is right." With a flash of inspiration, Xue Yingchen understood what Ta Bayu meant.

"Oh?"

"If you lure Feng Yelan's army in Guguling out of the natural danger, then they will no longer be invincible. As long as I can take down Linshui in the shortest possible time, and send troops first in Jianshui and Tianshui before they can react. Attack, then they will not have time to pinch us, and finally Feng Yelan has to walk out of the ravine, and at that time, the competition is who can defend and who can attack."

Tabayu felt a little worried, thought for a while, and persuaded: "Actually, Lord Hou doesn't need to take risks now, maybe there is a more secure way? If Feng Yelan really captures Linshui, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

Xue Yingchen knew what she was going to say, so he couldn't help saying: "Princess, don't worry, before I make all the battle plans, I will definitely send someone to send the princess back to the imperial capital safely."

"Xue Yingchen!" Ta Bayu stood up suddenly, and even called Xue Yingchen's name directly.

She has always called him Lord Hou, but now she is really pissed off by this man.

"When did I say I was leaving? Have I ever been afraid? I'm just worried about you. I'm afraid that if you can't wait for rescue, you will...will... "

Even the emperor's elder brother said that this is a dangerous move, so the danger in it can be imagined.

Xue Yingchen didn't expect that Ta Bayu's mood changed so much because he was worried about himself, his cold heart warmed slightly, but he still kept a serious face, and said word by word: "Princess is the body of a thousand gold, once the war starts, she must leave. As for the safety of the minister, I am the marshal this time and the backbone of the 13 army, no matter what the outcome is, I will not back down in the slightest."

He was dressed in a military uniform, and his face was full of firmness and fortitude, which prevented Ta Bayu from saying a word of rebuttal for a long time.

Yes, this man is the god on the battlefield. His soul and body belong to the battlefield. What right does she have to ask him to be afraid and to retreat?
If that's the case, she doesn't deserve to like him.

"Okay." She suddenly smiled softly, "I will go."

Xue Yingchen thought that she would not get up so easily, but never thought that she would actually agree. He was overjoyed and raised his wine glass directly, "There is not much time. I wish the princess a safe journey and return to the imperial capital as soon as possible."

Bitterness appeared in the corner of Tarbayu's eyes, and then she picked up the wine glass in front of her and lightly touched it with his, "Master Hou cherishes it!"

After the words, let's go all out.And at the corner of her eyes, there is also a drop of crystal at this moment.

Whether to leave or not, this is no longer her decision, but her heart.

I won't be your burden, but you don't want to deprive me of the right to live and die with you.She secretly said.
