Chapter 160 One shot would be enough to send her flying.
Zhai Rongyu said calmly, "Whether His Majesty is joking or not, General Lu doesn't need to jump to conclusions in just a few words."
"Fighting a war isn't about talking. Instead of standing here saying all this, we should go inside and analyze the military situation. If I'm not capable enough, it'll be perfectly reasonable for the general to question me later."
"General Lu, don't you agree?"
She glanced at General Lu indifferently, her eyes calm.
General Lu was speechless for a moment, then snorted and walked towards the inner tent.
Well said.
He wanted to see what this little girl was capable of!
Seeing that General Lu was no longer making things difficult, Fucha Xiangming lowered his eyes, a dark glint in them.
Princess Yongning is Zhai Sangjie's younger sister. She looks gentle and harmless, but her demeanor and speech are not like those of an ordinary girl. She is probably not someone to be trifled with.
No, he has to act quickly!
Zhai Rong glanced at Fucha Xiangming, then took a step and followed General Lu into the inner tent.
Seeing that the two had gone inside, Fucha Xiangming beckoned his subordinates.
"What are your orders, General?" asked Li Yan, the military adjutant.
Fucha Xiangming whispered a few words in his ear, and Li Yan's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He said in a low voice, "General, rest assured, I will take care of it right away!"
Inner tent.
Zhai Rongyu stood in front of the sand table, listening to General Lu report on the recent military situation.
"That Nan Sang is such a damn bad omen! Taking advantage of General Zhai's absence, he actually sent Hu Lie Yunxiao to cause trouble!"
"Hu Lieyunxiao?" Zhai Rongyu lowered his head.
General Lu asked, "Does the Princess of Yongning also know him?"
Zhai Rong nodded: "I've heard a little about it."
This Hu Lieyunxiao is my brother's nemesis.
[After losing to his brother, he harbored some resentment and frequently harassed the border.]
Although it wasn't successful, it's like having rat droppings constantly appearing at your doorstep—it's disgusting just looking at it.
When Zhai Rongyu saw Fucha Xiangming walk in, she pointed to the flag representing Hu Lie Yunxiao on the sand table and said, "Hu Lie Yunxiao's army has amazing physical strength and is good at direct attacks and close combat."
"Your military rations were stolen, and your soldiers were exhausted, which is why you were repeatedly at a disadvantage, giving Nansang an opportunity to take advantage of you."
After she finished speaking, her gaze fell on Fucha Xiangming, scrutinizing his expression.
Fucha Xiangming's heart skipped a beat.
Military rations, again military rations.
It seems the imperial court does indeed suspect the theft of military rations.
He walked discreetly to General Lu's side, blocking Zhai Rongyu's view.
A look of surprise flashed across General Lu's eyes.
This little girl isn't completely clueless.
He nodded and said, "Before General Zhai returned to the capital, he left us with several brilliant plans for defending the city."
"It was supposed to be foolproof, but without military rations, the soldiers are like limp shrimps. How can they possibly hold on?"
"That Hu Lieyunxiao keeps coming to challenge us, it's really annoying!"
As General Lu spoke, he slammed the flag on the sand table into the ground with his fist, his expression indignant.
Zhai Rong chuckled softly.
General Lu is truly honest and straightforward.
"How did the military rations get lost?" she asked General Lu.
“It’s my fault too,” General Lu said, hanging his head with some frustration. “If it weren’t for my birthday that day, none of us would have drunk too much, which allowed Hu Lieyunxiao to take advantage of the situation.”
"I knew it! What's so great about celebrating this stupid birthday?" General Lu said angrily.
"But it's strange, there are plenty of people in the military camp who can drink a lot without getting drunk, so why did they all get drunk that day?"
General Lu felt guilty all the time.
Fucha Xiangming quickly comforted him: "General Lu, this is not your fault. We were just looking for an excuse to relax, but who knew such a mess would happen."
Zhai Rong knew exactly what was going on.
[It must have been Fucha Xiangming who tampered with the wine, colluding with Hulie Yunxiao to smuggle away the military rations.]
However, so much time has passed that it's probably difficult to verify.
At this moment, a soldier shouted back from outside the tent.
"Generals! Something terrible has happened!"
"That Hu Lieyunxiao has come knocking again!"
General Lu immediately started cursing: "Damn it, that persistent ghost is here again!"
"I'll go fight!"
As he was about to walk out of the tent, Zhai Rongyu said, "I will go with General Lu."
"You?" General Lu stopped in his tracks, his brows furrowed. "This is war!"
Princess Yongning looks delicate and pretty, but Hu Lieyunxiao could send her flying with a single spear thrust!
"Going together again? Aren't you just having fun?"
Zhai Rongyu ignored him and walked out of the tent on her own. General Lu hurriedly followed after her.
Fucha Xiangming gazed thoughtfully at Zhai Rongyu's retreating figure.
He took a step and followed them out to see what was going on.
The three men stood on the city wall and saw Nan Sang's general taunting them from below. "Long Yan cowards! You've been hiding for so long, and you still don't dare to fight? Have you all become cowards? I think you shouldn't be called Long Yan Kingdom anymore, Turtle Kingdom would be more fitting!"
"Hahahahahaha!!"
The soldiers of Nansang burst into laughter, their laughter echoing across the sky above Guanling City.
Hu Lieyunxiao sat on his fiery horse and saw a woman in red on the city wall in the distance. She had striking features and was very beautiful. Her fair skin was dazzlingly white in the sunlight.
Zhai Rongyu was also looking at him.
He was about the same age as Zhai Sangjie, with a broad chest, imposing figure, and deep, sharp features that seemed to be casually carved, yet surprisingly harmonious, exuding a rugged and heroic air.
[So he was Hu Lieyunxiao.]
Their eyes met, and Hu Lieyunxiao felt as if he had been suddenly electrocuted.
He frowned and asked his subordinate beside him, "Who is she?"
The subordinate glanced at Zhai Rongyu, shook his head, and then shouted, "Are all your Dragon Flame soldiers starving? You're even sending a woman out to fight now! Looks like you really have no one else left!"
"This woman isn't bad looking. Why don't we give her to Nan Sang, and we'll spare you today!"
"Hahahahahaha!"
The Nansang soldiers burst into laughter again.
General Lu clenched his fists. "Damn it, I'm going down there to deal with them!"
Fucha Xiangming quickly stopped him, "General Lu, wait!"
"With our current forces, how can we possibly defeat them? Going out would be suicide!"
General Lu frowned, somewhat disapprovingly saying, "Why are you boosting the enemy's morale while diminishing our own? The soldiers have already eaten the rations sent by the county magistrate, and their strength has recovered considerably. I refuse to believe we can't defeat them!"
He glanced down.
Although Hu Lieyunxiao has brought few men today, he is not without a chance of winning.
Looking at the arrogant Nan Sang troops, Zhai Rongyu suddenly smiled and said, "General Lu is right."
"They are so arrogant that they will surely underestimate us. Sending troops now will catch them off guard."
"General Lu, just go ahead, I'll cover for you."
Upon hearing this, General Lu excitedly stroked his beard and said to Fucha Xiangming, "Look, even the county princess has agreed! His Majesty tells us to listen to her, so I'll lead the troops down right now!"
His mind was filled with thoughts of "teaching Hu Lieyunxiao a lesson," completely forgetting that he had just looked down on Zhai Rongyu.
