Chapter 457 Individual Analysis
Since yesterday's victory, the morale of the soldiers has continued to be high.
During this time, Jiang Yue looked at his five senior brothers and asked them about some of their tasks last year.
Beiyan once tried to rob the supplies that the five senior brothers were escorting, but they did not succeed because of their intelligence and wisdom.
After being busy for a long time, she finally thought of asking:
"My horse is lost, isn't it?"
Xia Yuanchen said: "We found it when we were training outside. It was Brother Zhang who recognized it at the time."
"That's really lucky." Jiang Yue thought that she would never be able to meet Tianyi in this life.
At the beginning, when she was on a mission with Zhang Yan, she lost her warhorse.
"This war is very satisfying!" Xia Yuanchen imagined the scene on the battlefield and remembered it vividly.
Wu Fei, Xue Wen and other soldiers of the Xuanwu Army followed suit.
Xue Wen: "Nowadays, the population of Northern Yan is small and it can no longer make any big waves."
Wu Fei: "They are bound to lose this battle. If you know the situation, it is better for you to surrender as soon as possible so that we can save ourselves the trouble and effort."
Song Jie: "If we surrender, I'm afraid they will get the upper hand. Wildfires cannot be extinguished, they will spring up again with the spring breeze."
Xia Yuanchen agreed with what he said: "That's right, the heirs of the Northern Yan Dynasty must be eliminated!"
Wu Ding: "Northern Yan is so arrogant. I really want to see what their emperor will do after learning about this battle."
"The more miserable the better!" Xia Yuanchen thought of his deceased father.
He looked at Jiang Yue: "How did you come up with such a good strategy to deal with the enemy?"
Jiang Yue fumbled for the golden token in her hand and replied:
"It was inspired by fireworks and firecrackers, and Taoist alchemy. The success of this product is the result of the concerted efforts of Your Majesty and Taoist Chongyang."
She listened carefully to the generals' analysis and knew that they naturally had to make a concerted effort at this time.
At this time, Ling Yunxiao and Zhang Yan walked in at the same time, and the relaxed atmosphere among the troops became a little serious.
Ling Yunxiao stood in the center of the army and said to Jiang Yue and Xia Yuanchen:
"In a month, Taoist Chongyang will personally bring people here to make gunpowder."
His Majesty's letter asked him to gather a large amount of fuel as soon as possible to continue the future war.
So at this moment he was thinking about how to go to Xining.
After hearing this, Xia Yuanchen looked at Jiang Yue and said, "We are running low on gunpowder. Jiang Yue, do you know what other ingredients are needed?"
Jiang Yue simply replied: "I only know that a large amount of saltpeter is needed."
The use of saltpeter to make medicine has become an unfair secret in the capital.
"Saltpeter? Xining can help." Ling Yunxiao's words instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Xia Yuanchen did not participate in the last search for saltpeter, but he was aware of it.
After hearing this, he had the same idea as Jiang Yue and Ling Yunxiao.
He agreed, “We are short of fuel right now, so we definitely need Xining’s help.
After hearing this, Zhang Yan suddenly looked at the token in Jiang Yue's hand, his eyes flashing with understanding.
"Jiang Yue, you are not thinking..."
"Impersonating Princess Xining." Ling Yunxiao followed.
"That's right." Jiang Yue nodded in admission.
"Why would it be so troublesome?" Xia Yuanchen shook his head.
"Jiang Yue, since you saved Princess Xining, she must be devoted to you now. Wouldn't it be better if she showed up in person?"
Ling Yunxiao shook his head: "After all, she is the princess of Xining, and something unexpected might happen to her."
He felt that Princess Singh might commit suicide after the humiliation she suffered yesterday. "Perhaps she won't cooperate."
After all, they also coveted the land of Xining.
Jiang Yue heard this and said:
"Singer's current physical condition is not suitable for long-distance travel."
As soon as she finished speaking, the generals thought of the scene between Jiang Yue and the Singh River bank that day, and their eyes with deep meaning fell on her at the same time.
Even Ling Yunxiao and Zhang Yan were no exception. Although they did not see the situation at that time, they had heard Xia Yuanchen talk about the scene of Jiang Yue saving people in a dangerous way.
Jiang Yue shook her head and explained:
"You heard it too. We need her help."
The Xuanwu soldiers had no gossip to listen to, so they put away their curiosity.
Xia Yuanchen thought again of what he saw yesterday. Although he did not see it clearly, he still reminded Jiang Yue:
"We will have a war with Xining sooner or later, between you..."
"Don't get me wrong, Major General. When have you ever started to make unfounded accusations?" Jiang Yue herself felt that everything that happened between her and Singh would be misunderstood.
But she felt more that she was being treated as a laughing stock after dinner.
Xia Yuanchen smiled awkwardly at Jiang Yue's words, and couldn't help but stroke his hair on his forehead.
"They are the ones who are catching wind and making up stories."
He pointed at Jiang Yue's Xuanwu Army, but saw that Wu Fei, Xue Wen and others had already slipped away.
"Who are these people?" Xia Yuanchen held one hand frozen in mid-air, his smile becoming more and more awkward.
"When we were discussing yesterday, they all spoke vividly."
His expression made Jiang Yue speechless, while Ling Yunxiao and Zhang Yan beside her couldn't help laughing.
"Yuan Chen, don't spread rumors anymore in the future." This seemed impossible to Ling Yunxiao, and it was also because of Jiang Yue's age.
Zhang Yan's lips couldn't help but curl up.
"The Major General is different now."
Xia Yuanchen: "Why is it different?"
Ling Yunxiao nodded.
"It's definitely different."
Xia Yuanchen pointed at his nose, then looked at Jiang Yue, and saw that she also nodded.
"The major general has become much more cheerful, his aggressiveness has faded, and he is more approachable than before."
"Really?" Xia Yuanchen hadn't noticed that he had changed so much.
"Jiang Yue, you are still the same as before. No, it's different. You are now a second-rank general."
He thought that if he had not been unconscious, he would have followed Jiang Yue to enter the imperial city last year, and perhaps he could have been promoted to the next rank by now.
"People always have to grow up." Ling Yunxiao smiled and asked Jiang Yue:
"How do we proceed with the saltpeter mining?"
He wanted to hear what Jiang Yue had to say.
After hearing this, Jiang Yue thought for a moment and said:
"Before yesterday's battle, Xining would never have helped us. They even stepped on us from behind when we attacked Beiyan."
"But it's different now. The people of Xining must be in a panic right now, because they are afraid of my weapons in the east, and they will definitely not dare to go against us."
"But once we tell them we need their saltpeter, they will definitely think it's related to gunpowder. Not only will they not give it to us, but it will also expose our strength."
Ling Yunxiao listened to Jiang Yue's clear analysis and had a general idea in his mind.
He ordered:
"Tomorrow, the soldiers from Donglin will personally escort Princess Xining back to the country."
Xia Yuanchen tried hard to sort out his thoughts.
"But, this marriage matter..."
"It has long been invalidated." Ling Yunxiao smiled and glanced in the direction of Xining:
"We have done Donglin such a great favor in saving Princess Xining, so it is reasonable to exchange him for a border city."
"Besides, Xining doesn't know the strength of our Donglin Army, so they must be afraid of our army. I don't think they will refuse."
"But time is of the essence, so let's just capture the city!"
Xining is rich in resources, so in order to get more gunpowder, they had to mine saltpeter anyway.
