Yun Shang tossed the piece away and turned around, "come in."
A hidden guard came in, even with a bit of dew on his body, and bowed to Yun Shang, "Your Highness, we get the news that the army of the state of Xia reached outside of Jingyang city last night. His highness set an empty city trick and set a fire to Jingyang City, and now it's still in fire. Prince Jing took his soldiers and people to the south of the jing river, then the army of the state of Xia used the wood branches to make rafts, and tied them together to make a bridge. They just passed the Jing river six hours ago."
"Did you get in touch with his highness?" Yun Shang asked.
The secret guard shook his head. "It's in the woods all around. It will take some time to get in touch with his highness, and the other secret guards are still looking for his highness. There should be some clues soon. I'm afraid that you can't wait, so I come to report."
Yun Shang nodded and waved him out, but she frowned tightly.
"Look at you. You can almost kill a fly with a frown." Mr. Qing Cang shook his head and picked up the chess pieces on the table.
However, Yun Shang's frown didn't ease at those words. "Master, he is in danger." Without waiting for Qing Cang's reply, she added hastily, "now the army of the state of Xia has a force of 600 thousand people, while his Highness has two hundred and fifty thousand. He also brings people along. If all the army of the state of Xia go up the mountain, I'm afraid that the chances of winning are very small." After a pause, she suddenly thought of a key point. "No, if the army of the state of Xia were to go up the mountain, the prince would have the chance to win, but Liu Yinfeng definitely wouldn't take such a risk. He is now leading his soldiers to guard the Jing River, so he must have planned for waiting them to come and get water. The people in Jing city had been getting water from wells. But now they are outside the city, and they are hiding in mountains, so there is only water in Jing river that they can use. As long as the army of the state of Xia guard the Jing River, we can't let people live without water. Liu Yinfeng is just waiting for them to come to him first."
Yun Shang grew more panicked at the thought.
Mr. Qing Cang nodded and showed appreciation in his eyes. He said with a smile, "my disciple is not stupid. But Prince Jing dares to go up the mountain with his soldiers and people, which indicates that he is sure. Why is he so confident?"
Yun Shang kept silent for a while and then shook her head. She didn't know. She could not calm herself down at the thought of Prince Jing's current situation.
Mr. Qing Cang narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Well, you really care about him very much, you even lose your senses. His royal highness must have trusted you, so he dared to take the risk."
"Trust me?" Yun Shang was surprised. She pointed at the spot between her eyebrows in surprise.
Mr. Qing Cang nodded, "of course he trust you. Didn't you send the secret guards to inform Prince Jing about the movement of the army of the state of Xia and also say that you would lead your soldiers to help him?"
Yun Shang nodded slightly. Then Mr. Qingzhu continued, "you also know, no matter how brave and battleful Ning is, it's not completely impossible to defeat an army that is more than three times more powerful than Xia. Perhaps because of Prince Jing, he won't be completely annihilated, but also won't be too relaxed. There are countless casualties. Moreover, there were so many people in Jingyang city. If Prince Jing still had conscience, he would not take such a risk. So he knows it's impossible to resist, and he just simply delay the battle, waiting for your rescue. If you bring four hundred thousand soldiers out of the KY City, you will be able to defeat the army of
the state of Xia in number of people. By then, at least you won't be at a disadvantage by then."
Yun Shang sat still as if she was meditating. After a long time, she said, "but now, I only have less than a hundred thousand people in hand..."
