Chapter 429 Negotiating Countermeasures
Even if she didn't stay in the inn, Jiang Yue would kidnap people and create panic.
She thought that if she kidnapped the princess, she might be able to threaten the team.
As for how to deal with them, she hasn't figured out a solution yet.
The team continued to move forward, neither fast nor slow.
Continuing on their march around the county town, the army soon arrived at an open area.
The team stopped and there was no village or shop around.
Although the princess walked leisurely that day, her back and waist ached from the long journey and she didn't want to move at all.
Beside her, the envoys who followed her began to give orders to set up camp.
At the same time, they looked at Jiang Yue and other members of the Xuanwu Army, feeling somewhat gloating.
"I wonder how the general plans to rest tonight?" the princess spoke in a sarcastic voice.
Jiang Yue was neither anxious nor annoyed. "As a soldier, we have to endure hardships and hardship. This is also the nature of marching!"
"Pretending!" The woman sneered, "I want to have a good sleep. I have to travel quickly tomorrow morning!"
If Jiang Yue had not come to pick them up, and the people around her said that keeping the general would be useful, how could she have listened to her?
Jiang Yue and other Xuanwu soldiers were not in a hurry to go out, but they thought that it would only take a few days, and they didn't know if the real princess or the fake princess would appear.
So they traveled light and did not prepare any tents.
So at this moment, they prepared to find some caves to rest.
If there is no cave, we have to rest on the spot.
Before resting, Jiang Yue gathered all the troops at the foot of a mountain to discuss countermeasures.
The Xuanwu soldiers looked at the lights not far away and discussed in low voices.
After talking about it for a long time, they still couldn't come up with a definite solution, and they were inevitably a little overwhelmed.
Finally, Wu Fei suggested:
"Why don't we burn them all?"
After Jiang Yue heard this, a phrase flashed through his mind: burning the entire camp.
It sounds good, but after taking a closer look at the tent outside the cave, she shook her head.
"There are more than a thousand people on night patrol. We are too few in number, and burning the camp directly will not have any effect."
Chu Mo suggested a solution that was not a solution: "Let's pretend to be bandits and kidnap the fake princess!"
Jiang Yue shook her head: "Not right!"
Everyone also shook their heads.
Chen Yong sighed: "The enemy's team is several times stronger than ours, and we can't evacuate right now."
Wu Ding said: "Why don't we go back to the city overnight, gather all the troops in the city, and fight these people!"
Jiang Yue shook her head. She didn't want to confront him head-on.
"Right now, the city is not like the border. If we can defeat the enemy without sacrificing a single soldier, that would be the best strategy."
If there are any changes in the city, it will be temporarily handed over to Xue Wen and Mu Heng. Jiang Yue trusts them.
Lin Guo said: "We still have to take advantage of the night to kidnap their princess. I don't think it will be easy."
Following Lin Guo's words, Jiang Yue looked at the vast tent outside.
"They will rob people in the middle of the night, and then burn them after they are kidnapped. This will definitely cause panic, and we can also take the opportunity to kill the leader of their team. Then, we can rush to the capital under the pretext of arresting bandits."
"If this method is used to rob someone during a chaos, it is feasible!"
She thought that committing murder and arson at night would not go smoothly.
Wu Fei laughed.
"Isn't this what I said?"
Chen Yong patted Wu Fei on the back.
"How can that be the same? You said to burn them directly. Our main goal is to kidnap their princess and kill their envoys."
Jiang Yue: "This general will personally kidnap people, one team will create chaos, and another team will provide support in secret."
All the soldiers nodded, indicating that this plan was feasible.
Chu Mo asked: "General, when do we take action?" He couldn't wait any longer.
Jiang Yue didn't need to think and said directly: "Chou hour!"
If she didn't act tonight, she was afraid that she would never have the chance to act again.
At that moment, she thought the other party was really smart.
That princess is not a pushover either. Whether they will listen to her tomorrow is another matter. There might even be a fight between them.
But Jiang Yue would never engage in a head-on battle with them, as she would not be able to defeat them at all.
"While we are trying to act, the fake princess might be making some moves in secret. Maybe they are planning how to do it quietly, except for me."
After hearing this, the soldiers' eyes became solemn.
Wu Fei was the first to jump out: "Whoever dares, I'll kill him first!"
Lin Guo also said: "Take me with you!"
Wu Ding: "And me!"
"..."
The soldiers started talking again, and finally Jiang Yue said,
"Quiet!"
And stopped talking.
Jiang Yue continued:
"No matter what she says, she is still a princess. If anything goes wrong, we will have to bear the responsibility. Now, who will keep watch?"
After that, no one responded.
The soldiers all wanted to participate in the operation in the second half of the night.
Jiang Yue began to call out names:
"Chen Yong, Chu Mo, you two will take ten soldiers to keep watch. Just in case, remember to be careful!"
"Yes!" Even though the two were unwilling, they would not disobey military orders.
Jiang Yue gave the order, and the Xuanwu soldiers simply ate some dry food. Unable to find a cave, they found some dry grass and began to sleep.
The howling cold wind reminded them of the dangerous terrain of the border.
The situation seems to be a little better now.
Afterwards, Chen Yong, Chu Mo and twelve other Xuanwu soldiers walked into the rows of tents.
After going there, I wandered around.
The envoy and the princess did not say much when they saw this, which was understandable.
Chen Yong and twelve other Xuanwu soldiers guarded the night carefully, always paying attention to the movements around them.
At this moment, the woman and the envoy were standing outside the tent, not feeling sleepy at all.
"That young general can't be kept!" the woman said as she made a gesture of wiping her neck.
Whenever she thought of Jiang Yue, her eyes were filled with disgust.
"You are just a kid, don't be afraid of him!" The man dressed as an envoy, Zeng Guangren's biological son, Zeng Bufan, patiently explained:
"Princess Sheng'er, just because she brought us rebels to Lindu City personally, their Majesty will definitely misunderstand her and defect to us. Then, she can be used by us."
"What's the point of keeping her?" Princess Sheng'er had long wanted to kill Jiang Yue.
"Look at her cowardly appearance. She is totally useless!"
Zeng Bufan patiently explained:
"My father said that she holds the military power in the city."
"Her?" Princess Sheng Er sneered.
"If a man like that can be a general, it seems that His Majesty Donglin is a tyrant."
"He was originally a tyrant!" Zeng Bufan mentioned Zhao Chongxiu, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
He felt that Zhao Chongxiu's death was not far away.
"This princess must kill him with her own hands and make sure he has no descendants!" Princess Sheng'er spoke harshly, and Zeng Bufan agreed.
"Kill his entire family!"
