The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering
Chapter 256: Discussing the affairs of the world, the whip is penetrating into the inside, and the p
Gu Wangshu and He Lianhuan didn't waste any time and felt the tower without stopping.
I saw that the Nalan Army outside the city gate had already made preparations. Everyone was holding a torch to explain, and the firelight illuminated their faces. The expressions on their faces were a deep mockery of the Helian Army.
Gu Wangshu saw a woman tied to a wooden frame.
Because they were far away and the woman lowered her head, she couldn't see clearly who the other party was for a while.
Could it be Meng Ying?
Never her.
She kept praying in her heart.
When Nalan Jun saw Gu Wangshu and He Lianhuan arriving, they finally threw their torches onto the dry wood.
Soon the dry wood started to burn, the flame grew bigger and bigger, and the raging fire illuminated the woman.
It wasn't until this moment that Gu Wangshu saw the other party's appearance clearly.
Her pupils shrank.
Isn't this Meng Ying's personal maid Zisu?The Nalan army wanted to burn her to death. Where was Meng Ying?
Gu Wangshu was so anxious that he wanted to open the city gate and fight the Nalan army outside the city.
After a while, the fire burned the hem of Zi Su's skirt, and her feet were swallowed up by the flames.
She gritted her teeth to prevent herself from making any sound.
But the pain of fire is not something ordinary people can bear.
She bit her lip to pieces, bleeding profusely. In the end, she couldn't hold it back, screamed repeatedly, and began to struggle on the wooden frame, but she couldn't get away no matter what.
Even though Zi Su was a maid, after living in the Gu family for many years, Gu Wangshu couldn't bear to see her burned alive.
Anger rushed to the top of his head, and Gu Wangshu's calmness was on the verge of collapse at this moment.
She was about to shout outside the city, but He Lianhuan pulled her into his arms. He pressed her head hard into his arms and comforted her: "Gu Wangshu, calm down. Nalan Jun deliberately brought people to the city gate." They were burned outside just to anger us, and once we went out of the city to fight, we would fall into their trap."
Gu Wangshu clutched He Lianhuan's arm tightly, so hard that his nails almost dug into his skin.
Zisu's heart-rending screams echoed in her ears, constantly impacting her sanity.
He Lianhuan covered her ears with both hands, and the screams suddenly dropped.
At this moment, Gu Wangshu was like covering his ears and stealing the bell, as if he could ignore the tragic situation outside the city because the sound he heard was quiet.
The Helian army on the top of the city shuddered when they saw the scene of burning people outside.
Nalan Jun was a little discouraged when he saw that the people at Taicang Pass were unmoved.
They thought that the Helian army would come out of the city to challenge them for this detail, but they didn't expect that the people of He country would be so indifferent.
The flames continued to engulf Zi Su.
Her legs had been scorched, and the tongues of fire kept climbing up her body, from her feet to her knees, from her thighs to her waist, and finally climbed directly to her shoulders, neck, and head.
Zi Su was completely swallowed up by the fire and became a burning person.
The rope was burned by the fire, and Zi Su, who was covered in fire, finally fell off the wooden frame.
She kept rolling on the ground, but she couldn't put out the fire on her body.
The fire mercilessly robbed her of her life. The screams became smaller and smaller, and the strength of her rolling became smaller and smaller. Finally, she was unable to move and the sound disappeared.
The Nalan Army laughed at the Helian Army's cowardice outside the city. Their ridicules were like arrows, piercing the Helian Army's heart.
However, no matter how angry the Helian Army was, they would not dare to send troops easily. As long as Tai Cang Guan was there, it would be difficult for the Nalan Army to attack.
Nalan Jun yelled and cursed for a while and found it boring. He left Zi Su's burnt body and returned to the camp.
This incident severely slapped He Lianjun in the face, and Gu Wangshu also began to be wary, because this time she was very sure that Meng Ying was in the Nalan camp.
Now that Zisu has been discovered, Meng Ying may also be used as a hostage.
She had no idea how Nalan Jun would treat Meng Ying.
The less you know, the more uneasy you feel, and the easier it is to think in the worst direction.
Meng Ying is a weak woman in a military camp full of men. What will happen to her?
Nalan Jun will definitely not treat her well. How desperate should she be?
The more Gu Wangshu thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he could no longer be as calm as before.
On the way back, she felt restless.
Although they wanted to send troops to attack Nalan's camp, they were not completely sure that they could annihilate Nalan's army in one fell swoop.
She was worried that Meng Ying wanted to rescue her quickly, but he couldn't waste Gu Helianjun's life.
For a moment, Gu Wangshu was in a dilemma.
This is called caring, which leads to chaos. Gu Wangshu, who had always calmly analyzed the situation, was in a mess.
Along the way, she was like an ant on a hot pot, sighing and sighing constantly.
Compared with her, He Lianhuan seemed much calmer.
There was never a time when he was not calm. Sometimes, Gu Wangshu even felt that he was an emotionless puppet.
"Gu Wangshu, are you worried about Meng Ying?"
Gu Wangshu almost burst into tears.
She suddenly grabbed He Lianhuan's hands, looking like a savior.
"Your Highness, I want to save her. I don't want her to be ruined by the Nalan Army. I don't want her to be burned to death like just now, but I can't do anything. What should I do?"
"You calm down first."
"I can't calm down. As long as I think that Meng Ying will become a tool for the Nalan Army to vent their sexual desires, I can't wait to kill all the Nalan Army."
He Lianhuan sighed. People have weaknesses and emotions. Gu Wangshu was emotional. He could understand it, but on the battlefield, being emotional was the most useless, let alone solving the predicament at hand.
"Do you think Meng Ying will be bullied by the Nalan Army?"
"Is not it?"
"My opinion is exactly the opposite of yours. I think Meng Ying should be safe at the moment and living a good life."
This sentence gave Gu Wangshu some comfort in his restless heart.
A light called hope appeared in her eyes. She stared at He Lianhuan for a moment and asked eagerly:
"Why did Your Highness say this?"
Seeing that she finally calmed down, He Lianhuan began to analyze her.
"Zisu is Meng Ying's personal maid. If Zisu's identity is discovered, there is no doubt that Meng Ying will also be discovered."
"Since Meng Ying was discovered, why was Zisu the only one who was burned to death?"
Gu Wangshu thought for a moment and said, "Is it because Meng Ying is more valuable?"
"Yes, Meng Ying is valuable, that's why I kept her."
"But what value can Meng Ying have?"
Gu Wangshu thought about it, but couldn't figure out what value Meng Ying could have.
He Lianhuan promptly reminded her: "Meng Ying is just a weak woman who does not know martial arts. If she wants to enter the military camp, it is not feasible for her to disguise herself as a man. With her brain, she cannot be a military advisor. The only way she can The way to enter the military camp is..."
Here he paused.
Gu Wangshu thought of something and then said: "Beauty trap?"
He Lianhuan smiled.
"Yes, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a hero to be a beauty. Implementing a beauty trap for an unknown person is not enough for her to gain a foothold in the military. If she wants to gain a foothold in the military, she must be protected by Zhan Cangxue."
"Judging from the fact that Zi Su was only burned to death this time, Zhan Cangxue probably protected Meng Ying in order to give an explanation to the Nalan Army."
Gu Wangshu suddenly became enlightened.
Zisu is Meng Ying's personal maid. Zisu's identity is revealed, which means that Meng Ying is also exposed.
Zhan Cangxue was lenient with Meng Ying because she liked her.
But this does not mean that he can swallow this breath. The Nalan Army continued to provoke, but the Helian Army never came out of the city to fight.
As long as Helian's army does not leave the city, Zhan Cangxue will have nothing to do.
No wonder Zhan Cangxue wanted to burn Zi Su outside the city gate in order to stimulate her.
Through Zi Su's death, she will unconsciously think of Meng Ying's tragic situation. The more she thinks about it, the more scared she becomes, and the more worried she is about Meng Ying's comfort. In this way, her calmness will completely collapse.
When people are emotionally unstable, they are most likely to make irrational and wrong judgments.
Zhan Cangxue wanted to use this to force Helian's army to leave the city to fight.
If they want to rescue Meng Ying, the Helian Army must attack Nalan Camp on a large scale.
On the other hand, it is uncertain what the Helian Army will face. Maybe the Nalan Army has already been prepared and waiting for them to take the bait.
After thinking all this through, Gu Wangshu felt scared for a while.
Seeing Zi Su being burned to death, her emotions really got out of control.
But fortunately, there was His Highness beside her. Fortunately, His Highness had always been very calm and stopped her. Fortunately, she believed His Highness and listened to his opinion.
If she had not controlled her emotions at that time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Gu Wangshu calmed down completely.
As long as Meng Ying is safe, she will feel relieved.
"It seems that the purpose of fighting Cangxue is to lure our army out of the city to fight."
He Lianhuan nodded, agreeing very much with Gu Wangshu's words.
"We just need to defend Taicangguan. As long as Taicangguan is not lost, the Nalan army will be destroyed. There is a way to capture Helian, but this is only the most conservative way of fighting. If you want to win the Nalan Kingdom, you still can't just defend. , take the initiative.”
"The Nalan Army is strictly guarding outside the city. I'm afraid it won't be appropriate for us to go out and attack hard."
"Well, while Nalan's army hasn't attacked the city these days, let's think about a countermeasure first."
......
Nalan Camp.
After Zhan Cangxue put Meng Ying to sleep, he sat on the bedside and stared at her blankly for a while, laughing to himself.
He still remembered what Shen Shiyan once said to him.
As a commander-in-chief, the last thing he should not have is the relationship between men and women. Because he is too emotional, he can easily be taken advantage of by the enemy.
At that time, he said unswervingly: "My greatest wish is to strengthen the Nalan Kingdom. As for the love between children, I'm afraid I won't have it in my lifetime."
Shen Shiyan asked him: "What about Wen Zhu? You two grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. She likes you. You should be able to feel it, right?"
"She likes me. What does it have to do with me? I don't like her."
Not long after he said this, Wen Zhu was sent to the Helian Kingdom for marriage. In order to make her serve the Nalan Kingdom wholeheartedly, Shen Shiyan also gave her a bowl of medicine, which made her lose everything in her life. Motherhood.
He could now feel Wen Zhu's feeling of being in love but not being able to get it.
He couldn't help but fall in love with Meng Qingche and couldn't bear to give her everything.
However, she wanted to destroy Nalan, and he was not sure if she also wanted him to die.
Emotions can indeed make people indecisive. Isn't he like this now?
The more Zhan Cangxue thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He stretched out his hand to touch Meng Ying's face, but at this moment, someone came from outside the tent.
Hearing the sound, he took back his hand and walked out of the tent.
After he walked out, Meng Ying, who was "sleeping", opened her eyes.
Tonight's plan failed, Zi Su was burned to death, her mind was in a mess, how could she sleep.
Meng Ying did not get up, but lay on the bed and listened carefully to the sounds outside the tent.
Zhan Cangxue's figure was reflected on the tent, and a person stood in front of him, respectfully reporting the situation to him.
"General, according to your instructions, we burned Xizuo to death outside the gate of Taicangguan City, but the Helian Army just watched from the tower and had no intention of leaving the city to fight."
"The fine work was burned to coke, and the Helian army was indifferent."
"Okay, Ben will know."
"General, what can we do to lure the Helian Army out? They have been hiding behind closed doors. We can't do anything to them at all."
"Don't worry, we will definitely find a way."
Meng Ying heard the conversation between the two very clearly. She really wanted to know what kind of solution Zhan Cangxue had come up with, but Zhan Cangxue had no intention of revealing it in advance.
Meng Ying felt sorry for the dead Zi Su, but also felt lucky that the Helian army had not been instigated by the Nalan army's aggressive general Fa.
The mixed emotions in her heart made her feel even more tormented.
Zhan Cangxue spoke impeccably, and even though she said something, she seemed to say nothing.
The two talked for a while, and Zhan Cangxue returned to the camp again.
The moment she heard the noise, Meng Ying immediately closed her eyes and continued to pretend to sleep.
Zhan Cangxue stood in front of the bed and stared at her, her lips moving as she had something to say, but he swallowed the words as they reached his lips.
He lay back on the bed, and just as he was about to wrap his arms around Meng Ying's waist, Meng Ying turned her back to him.
As soon as Zhan Cangxue moved, hurt flashed across his face.
His arm was stiff in the air for a few seconds, and finally fell on Meng Ying's waist.
His chest was pressed against her back, and Meng Ying could feel his heartbeat, but their hearts were getting farther and farther apart.
Meng Ying did not open her eyes again and continued to pretend to sleep. The night became darker and darker, and Meng Ying fell into sleep in a daze.
Zhan Cangxue sensed that she was really asleep, and finally said calmly:
"You have to be good this time. After this battle, I will take you away, okay?"
"What about the Nalan Kingdom and the Helian Kingdom? I won't be a general, and you won't do the details. We will never get involved in the disputes between Nalan and Helian, and we will go far away."
He murmured softly, his words full of longing for the future.
Ever since Zisu was burned to death, both inside and outside Taicang Pass, there was a terrifying moment of silence.
The Nalan Army did not take the initiative to attack the city in the next half month, while the Helian Army still stood on the city wall.
For half a month, Zhan Cangxue stayed with Meng Ying. No matter what Meng Ying did, he followed her closely, saying that she was pregnant and he wanted to take care of her.
But Meng Ying felt that he was monitoring her to prevent her from delivering news to Taicang Pass again.
Meng Ying couldn't do anything. She either ate or slept every day, and occasionally took a walk in the military camp.
In the past, Nalan Jun treated her with great courtesy because she was Mrs. Zhan Cangxue.
Now, the soldiers were still very polite to her, but their eyes that glanced at her inadvertently showed obvious hostility and deep disgust.
Meng Ying knew why.
It's like a thief comes into your own home. This thief not only cooperates inside and outside to take other people's homes as his own, but also wants to kill all the owners.
What she is facing now is no different from when Concubine Wen was in Helian Kingdom.
Concubine Wen was protected by the old emperor, and no one dared to touch her.
And what about her now?Because Zhan Cangxue was protecting her, Nalan Jun would not do anything to her no matter how much he hated her.
Meng Ying is self-aware. Knowing that she has been exposed, she no longer makes excessive demands and rarely comes out of the camp most of the time.
Although Zhan Cangxue has been by her side, Meng Ying knew that he had made full preparations and was also thinking of ways to deal a fatal blow to Helianguo.
However, she could no longer get any useful information from him.
Just as she thought, Zhan Cangxue was hiding in secret and waiting for an opportunity.
This opportunity requires the right time and the right place.
He was making plans, and so were Gu Wangshu and He Lianhuan.
The two of them would go to the tower every day to take a look, and they would be relieved if they found no people or omissions.
At this moment, Gu Wangshu and He Lianhuan were discussing countermeasures in the study.
Gu Wangshu poured He Lianhuan a cup of tea and placed it in his hand.
He Lianhuan picked up the tea cup and tasted the tea, while Gu Wangshu said:
"Nalan's army has not attacked the city for a long time. It should be a secret plan. It is most likely to find a way to lure our army out of the city."
After He Lianhuan took a sip of tea, he put down the cup and asked, "Do you think they will succeed?"
Gu Wangshu thought for a while and said, "With Zhan Cangxue's ability, maybe we can really be forced to go out of the city to fight the enemy."
"Then what methods do you think they will use to lure us out of the city?"
Gu Wangshu hadn't thought of this yet.
Taicang Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack, which is the terrain advantage they occupy.
Attacking from the bottom up makes it easy to become a target for those occupying the top.
It is obviously much easier for the person above to attack the person below.
As long as Taicang Pass is not breached, Helian's army can stay in the city. Can Zhan Cangxue force them out of the city without breaching the city gate?
Gu Wangshu thought about it without thinking of the possibility.
She went to see He Lianhuan.
At this moment, He Lianhuan looked calm and seemed to have everything under control.
"Has your Highness thought of it?"
He Lianhuan thought of a possibility and couldn't help but feel worried.
"Taicang Pass is sandwiched between two mountains. It is indeed the best natural barrier. The mountains intercept the Nalan Army outside the city. This is our advantage, but it also has disadvantages."
"What disadvantage?"
“What’s the most popular thing on the mountain?”
Gu Wangshu thought for a moment and said, "Plants and trees?"
"Yes, the most indispensable thing on the mountain is vegetation. It is late autumn now. The weather is getting colder and colder, the air is getting drier, and the wind is getting stronger day by day. If there is a mountain fire, the Taicang Pass between the two mountains will be destroyed." It’s dangerous.”
After hearing what he said, Gu Wangshu couldn't help but become nervous.
The weather is dry and things are dry. If someone really ignites the grass and trees on the mountain, the wind will cause a large-scale lethality.
Zhan Cangxue is a person who really knows tactics, which is different from the Fu Shoucheng they met.
Two years ago, they fought against Fu Shoucheng in Taiping City. There was also a mountain as a barrier, but Fu Shoucheng only knew how to attack by force, losing troops and generals, and was repeatedly plotted by them.
On the other hand, Zhan Cangxue.
He will never conquer Taicang Pass with force, nor will he easily fall into their schemes.
Zhan Cangxue is a difficult person to deal with. From the incident of burning Zi Su to death, it can be seen that this person is good at controlling people's hearts and uses provoking methods to achieve his goals.
It's just that his method of provoking generals was seen through by He Lianhuan.
"Your Highness, if the Nalan Army really wants to ignite the vegetation on the mountain and cause a mountain fire, how will our army respond?"
"There is a saying that you can only be a thief the day before yesterday, but you cannot prevent a thief for a thousand days. If Zhan Cangxue really wants to set the two mountains on fire, we will be unable to prevent him, and the other party will definitely succeed."
Gu Wangshu agreed very much with what he said.
The two mountains are so big that it is impossible for the Helian Army to take care of every corner.
If Zhan Cangxue really wanted to take such a method, he would not give up easily.
"Just in case, we have to dig a fire isolation belt on the mountain in advance."
The width of the fire isolation belt is approximately between 20 meters and 40 meters.
Both mountains have to be excavated. This is a big project that will never be completed in a while. Since Zhan Cangxue wants to prevent Zhan Cangxue from igniting the mountains and forests, he must take action immediately.
"Your Highness, please rest first. I will immediately order the soldiers to dig an isolation belt on the mountain."
When she was done, she turned around and left.
He Lianhuan's dull eyes finally regained focus, his gaze fell on her thin back, and he couldn't help but sigh.
It seems that the exchange of fire between the Helian Army and the Nalan Army is inevitable.
Zhan Cangxue is a smart man. The reason why he has not attacked Taicang Pass must be that he can capture Taicang Pass with minimal casualties to the Nalan Army.
Since we want to capture Taicang Pass, we must deal with the Helian Army.
He could all think of using the power of mountain fire to launch a large-scale fire attack on Taicang Pass, and I believe Zhan Cangxue, who is familiar with military art, would also think of it.
The other party has not taken any action for a long time, perhaps making other preparations secretly to ensure safety.
Marching must be in uninhabited territory, and fighting must be on favorable terrain.
Zhan Cangxue should choose a place to fight the Helian Army. There is no doubt that this place has been ambushed by the Nalan Army. Only by fighting the Helian Army on a favorable terrain can the Helian Army be defeated as much as possible. Annihilation.
If the Helian Army led by Gu Wangshu can dig the fire isolation belt before Zhan Cangxue ignites the mountain fire, then Zhan Cangxue's plan can be interrupted.
If Zhan Cangxue had taken action before the fire isolation zone was dug, Taicang Pass would have been attacked by fire.
In order not to lose Taicang Pass, the Helian Army must go out of the city to fight with the Nalan Army.
In the past, He Lianhuan seemed very relaxed when facing the enemy, but this time it was different. They faced uiid that the opponent was too smart and powerful.
He Lianhuan had a [-]% guess at Zhan Cangxue's plan.
From this point, we can very intuitively feel how accurate He Lianhuan's understanding of people's hearts is.
If he were placed in modern times, he would definitely become an excellent psychologist.
He drank all the tea in one breath, and then leaned back in the chair tiredly.
Although he had guessed Zhan Cangxue's plan this time, unfortunately, apart from the fire isolation zone, he could not think of a better way.
The method of setting fire to the mountains is really too damaging, and large-scale mountain fires are not something he can solve if he wants to.
Wildfires are difficult to handle in modern times, let alone in ancient times when fire-fighting facilities were rudimentary.
He Lianhuan could only pray that Zhan Cangxue would light the fire slower. It was best to wait until they dug the fire isolation belt.
After Gu Wangshu handed over the task, he returned to the study and continued to think of countermeasures with He Lianhuan.
"If Zhan Cangxue's plan succeeds and our army is forced to leave the city to fight the enemy, where does Your Highness think Zhan Cangxue will confront our army?"
During the period when Gu Wangshu was not in the study, He Lianhuan had analyzed it and made a decision in his mind.
The outside of the city is flat and there is no shelter. If a battle starts there, the Nalan Army is not completely sure of defeating the Helian Army. Even if the Nalan Army is full of confidence, it will have to pay a huge price to destroy the Helian Army and injure the Helian Army. Zhan Cangxue would never do anything that cost a thousand people but eight hundred.
A wise general will choose to fight on favorable terrain.
"There is a mountainous area between Taicang Pass and the first checkpoint of the Nalan Kingdom border defense. This mountainous area is thirty miles away from us. The terrain inside is complex. Our army is very unfamiliar with the terrain there, but the Nalan Army is very familiar with it. If an ambush is set up there, the possibility of our army's victory is extremely low."
"If our army can defeat the Nalan Army this time and annihilate them all, then the Nalan Kingdom will have lost its last main force. At that time, the Nalan Kingdom will be like a tiger that has lost its claws and teeth, and there is no basis for it."
"It is very difficult for our army to annihilate the Nalan Kingdom without knowing anything about the terrain. This battle is destined to be very difficult."
Gu Wangshu was speechless for a moment.
As He Lianhuan said, once a mountain fire breaks out, if they cannot intercept the mountain fire, they will be forced to leave the city. Going out of the city means that it will be very detrimental to He Lian's army.
Is it true that we can only pray that Helian soldiers can dig the isolation belt faster than Zhan Cangxue can prevent the fire from burning the mountain?
This is simply too passive. All the initiative is in the hands of the enemy, which is very disadvantageous to them.
She must try her best to turn the situation to her side.
Judging from the current situation, it seems that there are no favorable conditions for them.
Gu Wangshu thought for a while and said to himself, "It would be nice if I had a certain understanding of the terrain."
Helianhuan heard this, recalled it in his mind, and said with some uncertainty:
"I know some about the terrain, but not much."
Gu Wangshu raised his head and looked at him.
"Your Highness, do you know the topography of Nalan Kingdom?"
"I don't know much about it. I just know that there are three mountain passes thirty miles away. It is said that one of the mountain passes was blocked due to a landslide. As a result, there are only two mountain passes left, and each of the two mountain passes leads to different places. direction."
After saying this, he paused and looked solemn: "If the Nalan Army wants to completely wipe out our army, it is unlikely that they will disperse their forces, so I think the Nalan Army will choose one of the two mountain passes. For an ambush, as long as we know their location, we can avoid them in advance, and then catch them from behind to catch them off guard and give the Nalan Army a blow."
"It's just that we don't know which mountain pass they will choose to set up an ambush. If we rely on guessing, there is only half a chance of guessing it. The most taboo thing when leading troops in war is to make assumptions. The lives of the soldiers are pinned on guessing. It’s very irresponsible.”
This is what troubles Helianhuan the most.
Something like this happened once.
Two years ago, he and Gu Jingli pursued Fu Shoucheng together.
At that time, they reached three forks in the road and faced the problem of choice.
To be on the safe side, they divided their forces into three and pursued them simultaneously on three routes. Only Gu Jingli chose the right direction and ended up fighting with Fu Shoucheng.
If they had not dispersed their forces and dealt with Fu Shoucheng together at that time, Fu Shoucheng would have been killed in that duel, and Tao Zhiyaoyao would not have been around. So far, it is not known whether he is alive or dead.
Having already missed one choice, He Lianhuan didn't like to make the same mistake on the same thing.
But he couldn't accurately guess which path the opponent would choose without understanding the enemy's layout.
He subconsciously asked Gu Wangshu if he was sure what choice Zhan Cangxue would make. In fact, he didn't hold out any hope.
But what he didn't expect was that Gu Wangshu actually said this:
"Does Your Highness know that the road is blocked due to a landslide?"
He Lianhuan was stunned and said: "I don't know, but since that road has been blocked, the Nalan people will definitely not pass through that road again. The road should be different from the other two roads."
Gu Wangshu nodded: "In that case, just pretend you don't know. In this way, this becomes a three-way choice without Nalan's army setting up an ambush. I am [-]/[-] sure to choose the right one." "
He Lianhuan was a little confused: "Shouldn't it be half the probability? Why do you say there is a two-thirds probability?"
Mentioning this, Gu Wangshu thought of the "three-door probability problem" he saw in modern times.
The problem is this:
There are three doors, behind one of which there is a car, and behind each of the other two doors there is a goat.
You randomly choose a door first, but the host knows whether the door you choose is behind a car or a goat.
The host will then open one of the doors without a car behind it and ask you if you want to change your original choice.
At this time, should you change the door?
At that time, a high 90.00% of the participants chose not to change because they agreed that the host had excluded one door and there were still two doors to choose from.
Regardless of whether you change your original choice, the probability of winning the car is 50.00%.
However, a woman named Marilyn gave the conclusion in the magazine: it must be changed.
The probability of getting a car is two-thirds if you change the door, and one-third if you don't.
At the time, the question sparked debate in probability.
But it turned out that Marilyn was right.
Suppose door 1 is sheep, door 2 is sheep, and door 3 is car.
Select door 1, the host opens door 2, and you can get a car by changing doors.
Select door 2, the host opens door 1, and you can get a car by changing doors.
Select door 3, the host will open door 1 or door 2, and no cars will be allowed when changing doors.
It can be seen that you can only win if you choose the right door with a car from the beginning, and the probability is one-third.
But if the right door with a car is not selected at the beginning, then the probability of the remaining two doors together is two-thirds. If the host excludes another door, the probability of the remaining door is still three-thirds. Second, that is to say, the probability of not choosing the right door is two-thirds. As long as you change the door, you can get the car behind the door.
If instead of three doors, there are infinite doors, there is a grand prize behind only one door.
When choosing a door for the first time, since the total amount is infinite, the probability of choosing the right one is infinitesimally small, and no one will have any hope of choosing a door with a prize.
When all the remaining doors without prizes are eliminated, only one correct door remains.
At this time, I asked you whether to change the door?
People will definitely choose to change, that is, the remaining door will 100% win a prize.
Gu Wangshu explained the three probability problems to He Lianhuan, and He Lianhuan seemed to have opened the door to a new world.
He thought he had a half chance of being selected, but it turned out that the chance was not even half, only one-third.
Gu Wangshu looked at him seriously: "Your Highness, do you understand?"
"Yes, yes." He Lianhuan nodded.
Gu Wangshu asked uncertainly: "Can you really understand?"
"You made it very clear and I can understand it."
Gu Wangshu: "..."
In modern times, many people don't understand. She only told him once and he understood?
How does this person's brain grow?So cool.
The truth brought him back to modern times to contribute to the motherland.
"Actually, this is all a matter of probability. When our army really wants to confront the Nalan Army, there is still a high probability of choosing the wrong path. By then..."
After saying this, Gu Wangshu's expression became solemn again.
He Lianhuan didn't say anything, and the two of them were silent for a while.
I originally thought that Zhan Cangxue would have to wait a few more days before taking action, but I didn't expect that his actions were very fast and did not give Gu Wangshu and He Lianhuan a chance to react.
The two were discussing the "three-door probability problem" in the study, and Zhan Cangxue had already ordered people to secretly light the mountains on both sides of Taicang Pass on fire.
The wind was very strong today, and the small flames began to spread around with the help of the wind, igniting the surrounding vegetation in the blink of an eye.
This time is also particularly good. It is at dusk, the sun is setting in the west, and the sunlight falls on the mountain with a fiery red color, which just covers the spread of the fire.
The fire and the red sunlight almost merged into one, and the tongues of fire kept swallowing up like huge waves, but no one noticed it at all.
When Helianjun, who was digging the isolation zone, found out, the fire was already uncontrollable. The flames were boiling, jumping and roaring in the mountains. The heat wave was so intense that it would almost cook people.
Helianjun was shocked when he saw this. He no longer dared to continue digging the isolation zone and fled down the mountain.
The flames followed closely behind them, as terrifying as a scourge.
When the Helian army on the mountain ran down the mountain desperately, the entire mountain was almost on fire.
The sun slowly dropped below the horizon, but Taicangguan was as bright as day, mixed in between the two mountains, and was being burned by the flames, as if it were in a furnace.
The firelight glowed redly outside the window.
Gu Wangshu and He Lianhuan, who were in the study, were suddenly shocked. They did not expect that what they were worried about would come so quickly.
Gu Wangshu stood up suddenly, rushed over, and opened the door.
I saw that the sky was dyed red by the flames, and the heat and cold were swept by the wind, as if it was not affectionate, but in the middle of summer.
Gu Wangshu's eyes were wide open and he was frozen on the spot.
Zhan Cangxue actually didn't give them any time to react.
The flames spread so fast that there was no time to make any defense, and everything seemed weak in the sea of fire.
Gu Wangshu panicked and hurriedly turned back to face He Lianhuan.
"Zhan Cangxue has begun to burn the mountain. Your Highness, we cannot continue to sit still and wait for death. I will lead the Helian army out of the city to respond to the enemy."
He Lianhuan stood up, walked around the desk, and walked toward her step by step.
At this moment, Gu Wangshu even felt that his eyes could see, not like a blind man at all.
He Lianhuan stood in front of Gu Wangshu and looked at her intently.
Gu Wangshu: "..."
"Your Highness..." She looked into his eyes and found that his eyes were not as dull as usual, but very lively, and her figure was reflected in his pupils.
"You don't even know kung fu, are you going to die if you go out?"
He Lianhuan rubbed her head very affectionately.
"I go."
Gu Wangshu completely ignored what he said, met his eyes and asked, "Has His Highness's eyes recovered?"
He Lianhuan paid attention to her expression and suddenly grabbed the back of her head.
Gu Wangshu: "???"
When Gu Wangshu was stunned, he lowered his head without warning and kissed her lips.
Gu Wangshu's breath hitched, his face full of disbelief.
This kiss was very light, just a touch of water, and it was gone at the first touch.
There was a doting smile on his lips: "If you don't pretend to be blind, how can I look at you openly?"
He Lianhuan pressed her head on his shoulder. Gu Wangshu wanted to resist, but couldn't. He was too strong.
"Listen, leave it to me to lead the troops out of the city to fight the enemy. Just wait in the city. I won't die."
"If I find you leaving the city without permission, be careful I come back to deal with you."
He gritted his teeth and said fiercely, but his words were full of concern for Gu Wangshu.
"Your Highness, this time is very dangerous. Zhan Cangxue will be difficult to deal with."
"Well, I will be careful. If you don't want me to worry about you while fighting outside the city, then don't leave the city."
Gu Wangshu nodded in his arms.
Seeing that she agreed, He Lianhuan let go of her.
"I will come back alive." He pinched her face and said, "See, you haven't seen enough. It would be a pity to die."
He Lianhuan took a deep look at Gu Wangshu, then pushed her into the door and closed the door with force.
The door blocked the two people's sight, and Gu Wangshu's heart suddenly lifted.
"Your Highness, you can't suddenly disappear like last time and make me worry about you."
"it is good!"
"Your Highness, you must return to the city smoothly."
"Okay-" This time the voice was a little far away, and Gu Wangshu knew that he was fading away.
After a while, she tried calling again: "Your Highness?"
There was no sound at all outside the door. Gu Wangshu carefully opened the door a crack. There was nothing outside the door. He Lianhuan was no longer seen. Only the heat wave continued to rage.
She closed the door, walked back to the desk, and sat on the chair where He Lianhuan sat.
There are many art of war on his desk.
Gu Wangshu knew that he liked reading, and she would never take his things without permission.
At this moment, Gu Wangshu, who was worried about He Lianhuan, unconsciously picked up the military book and flipped through it, but he didn't read a single word.
It seemed that this was the only way to feel that He Lianhuan was by his side.
Suddenly, the ink marks in the military book caught her attention.
There are four big characters written on it. These four big characters are:
Xiyue.
Help the light.
He actually wrote both of their words on the military book at the same time.
Gu Wangshu's heart suddenly beat violently, and a throbbing feeling suddenly emerged.
She was fascinated by the words written by the two people. For a while, she picked up the brush, flipped through a few pages at random, and wrote down one sentence:
[Your Highness, please come back safely. I have something to say to you. 】
I saw that the Nalan Army outside the city gate had already made preparations. Everyone was holding a torch to explain, and the firelight illuminated their faces. The expressions on their faces were a deep mockery of the Helian Army.
Gu Wangshu saw a woman tied to a wooden frame.
Because they were far away and the woman lowered her head, she couldn't see clearly who the other party was for a while.
Could it be Meng Ying?
Never her.
She kept praying in her heart.
When Nalan Jun saw Gu Wangshu and He Lianhuan arriving, they finally threw their torches onto the dry wood.
Soon the dry wood started to burn, the flame grew bigger and bigger, and the raging fire illuminated the woman.
It wasn't until this moment that Gu Wangshu saw the other party's appearance clearly.
Her pupils shrank.
Isn't this Meng Ying's personal maid Zisu?The Nalan army wanted to burn her to death. Where was Meng Ying?
Gu Wangshu was so anxious that he wanted to open the city gate and fight the Nalan army outside the city.
After a while, the fire burned the hem of Zi Su's skirt, and her feet were swallowed up by the flames.
She gritted her teeth to prevent herself from making any sound.
But the pain of fire is not something ordinary people can bear.
She bit her lip to pieces, bleeding profusely. In the end, she couldn't hold it back, screamed repeatedly, and began to struggle on the wooden frame, but she couldn't get away no matter what.
Even though Zi Su was a maid, after living in the Gu family for many years, Gu Wangshu couldn't bear to see her burned alive.
Anger rushed to the top of his head, and Gu Wangshu's calmness was on the verge of collapse at this moment.
She was about to shout outside the city, but He Lianhuan pulled her into his arms. He pressed her head hard into his arms and comforted her: "Gu Wangshu, calm down. Nalan Jun deliberately brought people to the city gate." They were burned outside just to anger us, and once we went out of the city to fight, we would fall into their trap."
Gu Wangshu clutched He Lianhuan's arm tightly, so hard that his nails almost dug into his skin.
Zisu's heart-rending screams echoed in her ears, constantly impacting her sanity.
He Lianhuan covered her ears with both hands, and the screams suddenly dropped.
At this moment, Gu Wangshu was like covering his ears and stealing the bell, as if he could ignore the tragic situation outside the city because the sound he heard was quiet.
The Helian army on the top of the city shuddered when they saw the scene of burning people outside.
Nalan Jun was a little discouraged when he saw that the people at Taicang Pass were unmoved.
They thought that the Helian army would come out of the city to challenge them for this detail, but they didn't expect that the people of He country would be so indifferent.
The flames continued to engulf Zi Su.
Her legs had been scorched, and the tongues of fire kept climbing up her body, from her feet to her knees, from her thighs to her waist, and finally climbed directly to her shoulders, neck, and head.
Zi Su was completely swallowed up by the fire and became a burning person.
The rope was burned by the fire, and Zi Su, who was covered in fire, finally fell off the wooden frame.
She kept rolling on the ground, but she couldn't put out the fire on her body.
The fire mercilessly robbed her of her life. The screams became smaller and smaller, and the strength of her rolling became smaller and smaller. Finally, she was unable to move and the sound disappeared.
The Nalan Army laughed at the Helian Army's cowardice outside the city. Their ridicules were like arrows, piercing the Helian Army's heart.
However, no matter how angry the Helian Army was, they would not dare to send troops easily. As long as Tai Cang Guan was there, it would be difficult for the Nalan Army to attack.
Nalan Jun yelled and cursed for a while and found it boring. He left Zi Su's burnt body and returned to the camp.
This incident severely slapped He Lianjun in the face, and Gu Wangshu also began to be wary, because this time she was very sure that Meng Ying was in the Nalan camp.
Now that Zisu has been discovered, Meng Ying may also be used as a hostage.
She had no idea how Nalan Jun would treat Meng Ying.
The less you know, the more uneasy you feel, and the easier it is to think in the worst direction.
Meng Ying is a weak woman in a military camp full of men. What will happen to her?
Nalan Jun will definitely not treat her well. How desperate should she be?
The more Gu Wangshu thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he could no longer be as calm as before.
On the way back, she felt restless.
Although they wanted to send troops to attack Nalan's camp, they were not completely sure that they could annihilate Nalan's army in one fell swoop.
She was worried that Meng Ying wanted to rescue her quickly, but he couldn't waste Gu Helianjun's life.
For a moment, Gu Wangshu was in a dilemma.
This is called caring, which leads to chaos. Gu Wangshu, who had always calmly analyzed the situation, was in a mess.
Along the way, she was like an ant on a hot pot, sighing and sighing constantly.
Compared with her, He Lianhuan seemed much calmer.
There was never a time when he was not calm. Sometimes, Gu Wangshu even felt that he was an emotionless puppet.
"Gu Wangshu, are you worried about Meng Ying?"
Gu Wangshu almost burst into tears.
She suddenly grabbed He Lianhuan's hands, looking like a savior.
"Your Highness, I want to save her. I don't want her to be ruined by the Nalan Army. I don't want her to be burned to death like just now, but I can't do anything. What should I do?"
"You calm down first."
"I can't calm down. As long as I think that Meng Ying will become a tool for the Nalan Army to vent their sexual desires, I can't wait to kill all the Nalan Army."
He Lianhuan sighed. People have weaknesses and emotions. Gu Wangshu was emotional. He could understand it, but on the battlefield, being emotional was the most useless, let alone solving the predicament at hand.
"Do you think Meng Ying will be bullied by the Nalan Army?"
"Is not it?"
"My opinion is exactly the opposite of yours. I think Meng Ying should be safe at the moment and living a good life."
This sentence gave Gu Wangshu some comfort in his restless heart.
A light called hope appeared in her eyes. She stared at He Lianhuan for a moment and asked eagerly:
"Why did Your Highness say this?"
Seeing that she finally calmed down, He Lianhuan began to analyze her.
"Zisu is Meng Ying's personal maid. If Zisu's identity is discovered, there is no doubt that Meng Ying will also be discovered."
"Since Meng Ying was discovered, why was Zisu the only one who was burned to death?"
Gu Wangshu thought for a moment and said, "Is it because Meng Ying is more valuable?"
"Yes, Meng Ying is valuable, that's why I kept her."
"But what value can Meng Ying have?"
Gu Wangshu thought about it, but couldn't figure out what value Meng Ying could have.
He Lianhuan promptly reminded her: "Meng Ying is just a weak woman who does not know martial arts. If she wants to enter the military camp, it is not feasible for her to disguise herself as a man. With her brain, she cannot be a military advisor. The only way she can The way to enter the military camp is..."
Here he paused.
Gu Wangshu thought of something and then said: "Beauty trap?"
He Lianhuan smiled.
"Yes, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a hero to be a beauty. Implementing a beauty trap for an unknown person is not enough for her to gain a foothold in the military. If she wants to gain a foothold in the military, she must be protected by Zhan Cangxue."
"Judging from the fact that Zi Su was only burned to death this time, Zhan Cangxue probably protected Meng Ying in order to give an explanation to the Nalan Army."
Gu Wangshu suddenly became enlightened.
Zisu is Meng Ying's personal maid. Zisu's identity is revealed, which means that Meng Ying is also exposed.
Zhan Cangxue was lenient with Meng Ying because she liked her.
But this does not mean that he can swallow this breath. The Nalan Army continued to provoke, but the Helian Army never came out of the city to fight.
As long as Helian's army does not leave the city, Zhan Cangxue will have nothing to do.
No wonder Zhan Cangxue wanted to burn Zi Su outside the city gate in order to stimulate her.
Through Zi Su's death, she will unconsciously think of Meng Ying's tragic situation. The more she thinks about it, the more scared she becomes, and the more worried she is about Meng Ying's comfort. In this way, her calmness will completely collapse.
When people are emotionally unstable, they are most likely to make irrational and wrong judgments.
Zhan Cangxue wanted to use this to force Helian's army to leave the city to fight.
If they want to rescue Meng Ying, the Helian Army must attack Nalan Camp on a large scale.
On the other hand, it is uncertain what the Helian Army will face. Maybe the Nalan Army has already been prepared and waiting for them to take the bait.
After thinking all this through, Gu Wangshu felt scared for a while.
Seeing Zi Su being burned to death, her emotions really got out of control.
But fortunately, there was His Highness beside her. Fortunately, His Highness had always been very calm and stopped her. Fortunately, she believed His Highness and listened to his opinion.
If she had not controlled her emotions at that time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Gu Wangshu calmed down completely.
As long as Meng Ying is safe, she will feel relieved.
"It seems that the purpose of fighting Cangxue is to lure our army out of the city to fight."
He Lianhuan nodded, agreeing very much with Gu Wangshu's words.
"We just need to defend Taicangguan. As long as Taicangguan is not lost, the Nalan army will be destroyed. There is a way to capture Helian, but this is only the most conservative way of fighting. If you want to win the Nalan Kingdom, you still can't just defend. , take the initiative.”
"The Nalan Army is strictly guarding outside the city. I'm afraid it won't be appropriate for us to go out and attack hard."
"Well, while Nalan's army hasn't attacked the city these days, let's think about a countermeasure first."
......
Nalan Camp.
After Zhan Cangxue put Meng Ying to sleep, he sat on the bedside and stared at her blankly for a while, laughing to himself.
He still remembered what Shen Shiyan once said to him.
As a commander-in-chief, the last thing he should not have is the relationship between men and women. Because he is too emotional, he can easily be taken advantage of by the enemy.
At that time, he said unswervingly: "My greatest wish is to strengthen the Nalan Kingdom. As for the love between children, I'm afraid I won't have it in my lifetime."
Shen Shiyan asked him: "What about Wen Zhu? You two grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. She likes you. You should be able to feel it, right?"
"She likes me. What does it have to do with me? I don't like her."
Not long after he said this, Wen Zhu was sent to the Helian Kingdom for marriage. In order to make her serve the Nalan Kingdom wholeheartedly, Shen Shiyan also gave her a bowl of medicine, which made her lose everything in her life. Motherhood.
He could now feel Wen Zhu's feeling of being in love but not being able to get it.
He couldn't help but fall in love with Meng Qingche and couldn't bear to give her everything.
However, she wanted to destroy Nalan, and he was not sure if she also wanted him to die.
Emotions can indeed make people indecisive. Isn't he like this now?
The more Zhan Cangxue thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He stretched out his hand to touch Meng Ying's face, but at this moment, someone came from outside the tent.
Hearing the sound, he took back his hand and walked out of the tent.
After he walked out, Meng Ying, who was "sleeping", opened her eyes.
Tonight's plan failed, Zi Su was burned to death, her mind was in a mess, how could she sleep.
Meng Ying did not get up, but lay on the bed and listened carefully to the sounds outside the tent.
Zhan Cangxue's figure was reflected on the tent, and a person stood in front of him, respectfully reporting the situation to him.
"General, according to your instructions, we burned Xizuo to death outside the gate of Taicangguan City, but the Helian Army just watched from the tower and had no intention of leaving the city to fight."
"The fine work was burned to coke, and the Helian army was indifferent."
"Okay, Ben will know."
"General, what can we do to lure the Helian Army out? They have been hiding behind closed doors. We can't do anything to them at all."
"Don't worry, we will definitely find a way."
Meng Ying heard the conversation between the two very clearly. She really wanted to know what kind of solution Zhan Cangxue had come up with, but Zhan Cangxue had no intention of revealing it in advance.
Meng Ying felt sorry for the dead Zi Su, but also felt lucky that the Helian army had not been instigated by the Nalan army's aggressive general Fa.
The mixed emotions in her heart made her feel even more tormented.
Zhan Cangxue spoke impeccably, and even though she said something, she seemed to say nothing.
The two talked for a while, and Zhan Cangxue returned to the camp again.
The moment she heard the noise, Meng Ying immediately closed her eyes and continued to pretend to sleep.
Zhan Cangxue stood in front of the bed and stared at her, her lips moving as she had something to say, but he swallowed the words as they reached his lips.
He lay back on the bed, and just as he was about to wrap his arms around Meng Ying's waist, Meng Ying turned her back to him.
As soon as Zhan Cangxue moved, hurt flashed across his face.
His arm was stiff in the air for a few seconds, and finally fell on Meng Ying's waist.
His chest was pressed against her back, and Meng Ying could feel his heartbeat, but their hearts were getting farther and farther apart.
Meng Ying did not open her eyes again and continued to pretend to sleep. The night became darker and darker, and Meng Ying fell into sleep in a daze.
Zhan Cangxue sensed that she was really asleep, and finally said calmly:
"You have to be good this time. After this battle, I will take you away, okay?"
"What about the Nalan Kingdom and the Helian Kingdom? I won't be a general, and you won't do the details. We will never get involved in the disputes between Nalan and Helian, and we will go far away."
He murmured softly, his words full of longing for the future.
Ever since Zisu was burned to death, both inside and outside Taicang Pass, there was a terrifying moment of silence.
The Nalan Army did not take the initiative to attack the city in the next half month, while the Helian Army still stood on the city wall.
For half a month, Zhan Cangxue stayed with Meng Ying. No matter what Meng Ying did, he followed her closely, saying that she was pregnant and he wanted to take care of her.
But Meng Ying felt that he was monitoring her to prevent her from delivering news to Taicang Pass again.
Meng Ying couldn't do anything. She either ate or slept every day, and occasionally took a walk in the military camp.
In the past, Nalan Jun treated her with great courtesy because she was Mrs. Zhan Cangxue.
Now, the soldiers were still very polite to her, but their eyes that glanced at her inadvertently showed obvious hostility and deep disgust.
Meng Ying knew why.
It's like a thief comes into your own home. This thief not only cooperates inside and outside to take other people's homes as his own, but also wants to kill all the owners.
What she is facing now is no different from when Concubine Wen was in Helian Kingdom.
Concubine Wen was protected by the old emperor, and no one dared to touch her.
And what about her now?Because Zhan Cangxue was protecting her, Nalan Jun would not do anything to her no matter how much he hated her.
Meng Ying is self-aware. Knowing that she has been exposed, she no longer makes excessive demands and rarely comes out of the camp most of the time.
Although Zhan Cangxue has been by her side, Meng Ying knew that he had made full preparations and was also thinking of ways to deal a fatal blow to Helianguo.
However, she could no longer get any useful information from him.
Just as she thought, Zhan Cangxue was hiding in secret and waiting for an opportunity.
This opportunity requires the right time and the right place.
He was making plans, and so were Gu Wangshu and He Lianhuan.
The two of them would go to the tower every day to take a look, and they would be relieved if they found no people or omissions.
At this moment, Gu Wangshu and He Lianhuan were discussing countermeasures in the study.
Gu Wangshu poured He Lianhuan a cup of tea and placed it in his hand.
He Lianhuan picked up the tea cup and tasted the tea, while Gu Wangshu said:
"Nalan's army has not attacked the city for a long time. It should be a secret plan. It is most likely to find a way to lure our army out of the city."
After He Lianhuan took a sip of tea, he put down the cup and asked, "Do you think they will succeed?"
Gu Wangshu thought for a while and said, "With Zhan Cangxue's ability, maybe we can really be forced to go out of the city to fight the enemy."
"Then what methods do you think they will use to lure us out of the city?"
Gu Wangshu hadn't thought of this yet.
Taicang Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack, which is the terrain advantage they occupy.
Attacking from the bottom up makes it easy to become a target for those occupying the top.
It is obviously much easier for the person above to attack the person below.
As long as Taicang Pass is not breached, Helian's army can stay in the city. Can Zhan Cangxue force them out of the city without breaching the city gate?
Gu Wangshu thought about it without thinking of the possibility.
She went to see He Lianhuan.
At this moment, He Lianhuan looked calm and seemed to have everything under control.
"Has your Highness thought of it?"
He Lianhuan thought of a possibility and couldn't help but feel worried.
"Taicang Pass is sandwiched between two mountains. It is indeed the best natural barrier. The mountains intercept the Nalan Army outside the city. This is our advantage, but it also has disadvantages."
"What disadvantage?"
“What’s the most popular thing on the mountain?”
Gu Wangshu thought for a moment and said, "Plants and trees?"
"Yes, the most indispensable thing on the mountain is vegetation. It is late autumn now. The weather is getting colder and colder, the air is getting drier, and the wind is getting stronger day by day. If there is a mountain fire, the Taicang Pass between the two mountains will be destroyed." It’s dangerous.”
After hearing what he said, Gu Wangshu couldn't help but become nervous.
The weather is dry and things are dry. If someone really ignites the grass and trees on the mountain, the wind will cause a large-scale lethality.
Zhan Cangxue is a person who really knows tactics, which is different from the Fu Shoucheng they met.
Two years ago, they fought against Fu Shoucheng in Taiping City. There was also a mountain as a barrier, but Fu Shoucheng only knew how to attack by force, losing troops and generals, and was repeatedly plotted by them.
On the other hand, Zhan Cangxue.
He will never conquer Taicang Pass with force, nor will he easily fall into their schemes.
Zhan Cangxue is a difficult person to deal with. From the incident of burning Zi Su to death, it can be seen that this person is good at controlling people's hearts and uses provoking methods to achieve his goals.
It's just that his method of provoking generals was seen through by He Lianhuan.
"Your Highness, if the Nalan Army really wants to ignite the vegetation on the mountain and cause a mountain fire, how will our army respond?"
"There is a saying that you can only be a thief the day before yesterday, but you cannot prevent a thief for a thousand days. If Zhan Cangxue really wants to set the two mountains on fire, we will be unable to prevent him, and the other party will definitely succeed."
Gu Wangshu agreed very much with what he said.
The two mountains are so big that it is impossible for the Helian Army to take care of every corner.
If Zhan Cangxue really wanted to take such a method, he would not give up easily.
"Just in case, we have to dig a fire isolation belt on the mountain in advance."
The width of the fire isolation belt is approximately between 20 meters and 40 meters.
Both mountains have to be excavated. This is a big project that will never be completed in a while. Since Zhan Cangxue wants to prevent Zhan Cangxue from igniting the mountains and forests, he must take action immediately.
"Your Highness, please rest first. I will immediately order the soldiers to dig an isolation belt on the mountain."
When she was done, she turned around and left.
He Lianhuan's dull eyes finally regained focus, his gaze fell on her thin back, and he couldn't help but sigh.
It seems that the exchange of fire between the Helian Army and the Nalan Army is inevitable.
Zhan Cangxue is a smart man. The reason why he has not attacked Taicang Pass must be that he can capture Taicang Pass with minimal casualties to the Nalan Army.
Since we want to capture Taicang Pass, we must deal with the Helian Army.
He could all think of using the power of mountain fire to launch a large-scale fire attack on Taicang Pass, and I believe Zhan Cangxue, who is familiar with military art, would also think of it.
The other party has not taken any action for a long time, perhaps making other preparations secretly to ensure safety.
Marching must be in uninhabited territory, and fighting must be on favorable terrain.
Zhan Cangxue should choose a place to fight the Helian Army. There is no doubt that this place has been ambushed by the Nalan Army. Only by fighting the Helian Army on a favorable terrain can the Helian Army be defeated as much as possible. Annihilation.
If the Helian Army led by Gu Wangshu can dig the fire isolation belt before Zhan Cangxue ignites the mountain fire, then Zhan Cangxue's plan can be interrupted.
If Zhan Cangxue had taken action before the fire isolation zone was dug, Taicang Pass would have been attacked by fire.
In order not to lose Taicang Pass, the Helian Army must go out of the city to fight with the Nalan Army.
In the past, He Lianhuan seemed very relaxed when facing the enemy, but this time it was different. They faced uiid that the opponent was too smart and powerful.
He Lianhuan had a [-]% guess at Zhan Cangxue's plan.
From this point, we can very intuitively feel how accurate He Lianhuan's understanding of people's hearts is.
If he were placed in modern times, he would definitely become an excellent psychologist.
He drank all the tea in one breath, and then leaned back in the chair tiredly.
Although he had guessed Zhan Cangxue's plan this time, unfortunately, apart from the fire isolation zone, he could not think of a better way.
The method of setting fire to the mountains is really too damaging, and large-scale mountain fires are not something he can solve if he wants to.
Wildfires are difficult to handle in modern times, let alone in ancient times when fire-fighting facilities were rudimentary.
He Lianhuan could only pray that Zhan Cangxue would light the fire slower. It was best to wait until they dug the fire isolation belt.
After Gu Wangshu handed over the task, he returned to the study and continued to think of countermeasures with He Lianhuan.
"If Zhan Cangxue's plan succeeds and our army is forced to leave the city to fight the enemy, where does Your Highness think Zhan Cangxue will confront our army?"
During the period when Gu Wangshu was not in the study, He Lianhuan had analyzed it and made a decision in his mind.
The outside of the city is flat and there is no shelter. If a battle starts there, the Nalan Army is not completely sure of defeating the Helian Army. Even if the Nalan Army is full of confidence, it will have to pay a huge price to destroy the Helian Army and injure the Helian Army. Zhan Cangxue would never do anything that cost a thousand people but eight hundred.
A wise general will choose to fight on favorable terrain.
"There is a mountainous area between Taicang Pass and the first checkpoint of the Nalan Kingdom border defense. This mountainous area is thirty miles away from us. The terrain inside is complex. Our army is very unfamiliar with the terrain there, but the Nalan Army is very familiar with it. If an ambush is set up there, the possibility of our army's victory is extremely low."
"If our army can defeat the Nalan Army this time and annihilate them all, then the Nalan Kingdom will have lost its last main force. At that time, the Nalan Kingdom will be like a tiger that has lost its claws and teeth, and there is no basis for it."
"It is very difficult for our army to annihilate the Nalan Kingdom without knowing anything about the terrain. This battle is destined to be very difficult."
Gu Wangshu was speechless for a moment.
As He Lianhuan said, once a mountain fire breaks out, if they cannot intercept the mountain fire, they will be forced to leave the city. Going out of the city means that it will be very detrimental to He Lian's army.
Is it true that we can only pray that Helian soldiers can dig the isolation belt faster than Zhan Cangxue can prevent the fire from burning the mountain?
This is simply too passive. All the initiative is in the hands of the enemy, which is very disadvantageous to them.
She must try her best to turn the situation to her side.
Judging from the current situation, it seems that there are no favorable conditions for them.
Gu Wangshu thought for a while and said to himself, "It would be nice if I had a certain understanding of the terrain."
Helianhuan heard this, recalled it in his mind, and said with some uncertainty:
"I know some about the terrain, but not much."
Gu Wangshu raised his head and looked at him.
"Your Highness, do you know the topography of Nalan Kingdom?"
"I don't know much about it. I just know that there are three mountain passes thirty miles away. It is said that one of the mountain passes was blocked due to a landslide. As a result, there are only two mountain passes left, and each of the two mountain passes leads to different places. direction."
After saying this, he paused and looked solemn: "If the Nalan Army wants to completely wipe out our army, it is unlikely that they will disperse their forces, so I think the Nalan Army will choose one of the two mountain passes. For an ambush, as long as we know their location, we can avoid them in advance, and then catch them from behind to catch them off guard and give the Nalan Army a blow."
"It's just that we don't know which mountain pass they will choose to set up an ambush. If we rely on guessing, there is only half a chance of guessing it. The most taboo thing when leading troops in war is to make assumptions. The lives of the soldiers are pinned on guessing. It’s very irresponsible.”
This is what troubles Helianhuan the most.
Something like this happened once.
Two years ago, he and Gu Jingli pursued Fu Shoucheng together.
At that time, they reached three forks in the road and faced the problem of choice.
To be on the safe side, they divided their forces into three and pursued them simultaneously on three routes. Only Gu Jingli chose the right direction and ended up fighting with Fu Shoucheng.
If they had not dispersed their forces and dealt with Fu Shoucheng together at that time, Fu Shoucheng would have been killed in that duel, and Tao Zhiyaoyao would not have been around. So far, it is not known whether he is alive or dead.
Having already missed one choice, He Lianhuan didn't like to make the same mistake on the same thing.
But he couldn't accurately guess which path the opponent would choose without understanding the enemy's layout.
He subconsciously asked Gu Wangshu if he was sure what choice Zhan Cangxue would make. In fact, he didn't hold out any hope.
But what he didn't expect was that Gu Wangshu actually said this:
"Does Your Highness know that the road is blocked due to a landslide?"
He Lianhuan was stunned and said: "I don't know, but since that road has been blocked, the Nalan people will definitely not pass through that road again. The road should be different from the other two roads."
Gu Wangshu nodded: "In that case, just pretend you don't know. In this way, this becomes a three-way choice without Nalan's army setting up an ambush. I am [-]/[-] sure to choose the right one." "
He Lianhuan was a little confused: "Shouldn't it be half the probability? Why do you say there is a two-thirds probability?"
Mentioning this, Gu Wangshu thought of the "three-door probability problem" he saw in modern times.
The problem is this:
There are three doors, behind one of which there is a car, and behind each of the other two doors there is a goat.
You randomly choose a door first, but the host knows whether the door you choose is behind a car or a goat.
The host will then open one of the doors without a car behind it and ask you if you want to change your original choice.
At this time, should you change the door?
At that time, a high 90.00% of the participants chose not to change because they agreed that the host had excluded one door and there were still two doors to choose from.
Regardless of whether you change your original choice, the probability of winning the car is 50.00%.
However, a woman named Marilyn gave the conclusion in the magazine: it must be changed.
The probability of getting a car is two-thirds if you change the door, and one-third if you don't.
At the time, the question sparked debate in probability.
But it turned out that Marilyn was right.
Suppose door 1 is sheep, door 2 is sheep, and door 3 is car.
Select door 1, the host opens door 2, and you can get a car by changing doors.
Select door 2, the host opens door 1, and you can get a car by changing doors.
Select door 3, the host will open door 1 or door 2, and no cars will be allowed when changing doors.
It can be seen that you can only win if you choose the right door with a car from the beginning, and the probability is one-third.
But if the right door with a car is not selected at the beginning, then the probability of the remaining two doors together is two-thirds. If the host excludes another door, the probability of the remaining door is still three-thirds. Second, that is to say, the probability of not choosing the right door is two-thirds. As long as you change the door, you can get the car behind the door.
If instead of three doors, there are infinite doors, there is a grand prize behind only one door.
When choosing a door for the first time, since the total amount is infinite, the probability of choosing the right one is infinitesimally small, and no one will have any hope of choosing a door with a prize.
When all the remaining doors without prizes are eliminated, only one correct door remains.
At this time, I asked you whether to change the door?
People will definitely choose to change, that is, the remaining door will 100% win a prize.
Gu Wangshu explained the three probability problems to He Lianhuan, and He Lianhuan seemed to have opened the door to a new world.
He thought he had a half chance of being selected, but it turned out that the chance was not even half, only one-third.
Gu Wangshu looked at him seriously: "Your Highness, do you understand?"
"Yes, yes." He Lianhuan nodded.
Gu Wangshu asked uncertainly: "Can you really understand?"
"You made it very clear and I can understand it."
Gu Wangshu: "..."
In modern times, many people don't understand. She only told him once and he understood?
How does this person's brain grow?So cool.
The truth brought him back to modern times to contribute to the motherland.
"Actually, this is all a matter of probability. When our army really wants to confront the Nalan Army, there is still a high probability of choosing the wrong path. By then..."
After saying this, Gu Wangshu's expression became solemn again.
He Lianhuan didn't say anything, and the two of them were silent for a while.
I originally thought that Zhan Cangxue would have to wait a few more days before taking action, but I didn't expect that his actions were very fast and did not give Gu Wangshu and He Lianhuan a chance to react.
The two were discussing the "three-door probability problem" in the study, and Zhan Cangxue had already ordered people to secretly light the mountains on both sides of Taicang Pass on fire.
The wind was very strong today, and the small flames began to spread around with the help of the wind, igniting the surrounding vegetation in the blink of an eye.
This time is also particularly good. It is at dusk, the sun is setting in the west, and the sunlight falls on the mountain with a fiery red color, which just covers the spread of the fire.
The fire and the red sunlight almost merged into one, and the tongues of fire kept swallowing up like huge waves, but no one noticed it at all.
When Helianjun, who was digging the isolation zone, found out, the fire was already uncontrollable. The flames were boiling, jumping and roaring in the mountains. The heat wave was so intense that it would almost cook people.
Helianjun was shocked when he saw this. He no longer dared to continue digging the isolation zone and fled down the mountain.
The flames followed closely behind them, as terrifying as a scourge.
When the Helian army on the mountain ran down the mountain desperately, the entire mountain was almost on fire.
The sun slowly dropped below the horizon, but Taicangguan was as bright as day, mixed in between the two mountains, and was being burned by the flames, as if it were in a furnace.
The firelight glowed redly outside the window.
Gu Wangshu and He Lianhuan, who were in the study, were suddenly shocked. They did not expect that what they were worried about would come so quickly.
Gu Wangshu stood up suddenly, rushed over, and opened the door.
I saw that the sky was dyed red by the flames, and the heat and cold were swept by the wind, as if it was not affectionate, but in the middle of summer.
Gu Wangshu's eyes were wide open and he was frozen on the spot.
Zhan Cangxue actually didn't give them any time to react.
The flames spread so fast that there was no time to make any defense, and everything seemed weak in the sea of fire.
Gu Wangshu panicked and hurriedly turned back to face He Lianhuan.
"Zhan Cangxue has begun to burn the mountain. Your Highness, we cannot continue to sit still and wait for death. I will lead the Helian army out of the city to respond to the enemy."
He Lianhuan stood up, walked around the desk, and walked toward her step by step.
At this moment, Gu Wangshu even felt that his eyes could see, not like a blind man at all.
He Lianhuan stood in front of Gu Wangshu and looked at her intently.
Gu Wangshu: "..."
"Your Highness..." She looked into his eyes and found that his eyes were not as dull as usual, but very lively, and her figure was reflected in his pupils.
"You don't even know kung fu, are you going to die if you go out?"
He Lianhuan rubbed her head very affectionately.
"I go."
Gu Wangshu completely ignored what he said, met his eyes and asked, "Has His Highness's eyes recovered?"
He Lianhuan paid attention to her expression and suddenly grabbed the back of her head.
Gu Wangshu: "???"
When Gu Wangshu was stunned, he lowered his head without warning and kissed her lips.
Gu Wangshu's breath hitched, his face full of disbelief.
This kiss was very light, just a touch of water, and it was gone at the first touch.
There was a doting smile on his lips: "If you don't pretend to be blind, how can I look at you openly?"
He Lianhuan pressed her head on his shoulder. Gu Wangshu wanted to resist, but couldn't. He was too strong.
"Listen, leave it to me to lead the troops out of the city to fight the enemy. Just wait in the city. I won't die."
"If I find you leaving the city without permission, be careful I come back to deal with you."
He gritted his teeth and said fiercely, but his words were full of concern for Gu Wangshu.
"Your Highness, this time is very dangerous. Zhan Cangxue will be difficult to deal with."
"Well, I will be careful. If you don't want me to worry about you while fighting outside the city, then don't leave the city."
Gu Wangshu nodded in his arms.
Seeing that she agreed, He Lianhuan let go of her.
"I will come back alive." He pinched her face and said, "See, you haven't seen enough. It would be a pity to die."
He Lianhuan took a deep look at Gu Wangshu, then pushed her into the door and closed the door with force.
The door blocked the two people's sight, and Gu Wangshu's heart suddenly lifted.
"Your Highness, you can't suddenly disappear like last time and make me worry about you."
"it is good!"
"Your Highness, you must return to the city smoothly."
"Okay-" This time the voice was a little far away, and Gu Wangshu knew that he was fading away.
After a while, she tried calling again: "Your Highness?"
There was no sound at all outside the door. Gu Wangshu carefully opened the door a crack. There was nothing outside the door. He Lianhuan was no longer seen. Only the heat wave continued to rage.
She closed the door, walked back to the desk, and sat on the chair where He Lianhuan sat.
There are many art of war on his desk.
Gu Wangshu knew that he liked reading, and she would never take his things without permission.
At this moment, Gu Wangshu, who was worried about He Lianhuan, unconsciously picked up the military book and flipped through it, but he didn't read a single word.
It seemed that this was the only way to feel that He Lianhuan was by his side.
Suddenly, the ink marks in the military book caught her attention.
There are four big characters written on it. These four big characters are:
Xiyue.
Help the light.
He actually wrote both of their words on the military book at the same time.
Gu Wangshu's heart suddenly beat violently, and a throbbing feeling suddenly emerged.
She was fascinated by the words written by the two people. For a while, she picked up the brush, flipped through a few pages at random, and wrote down one sentence:
[Your Highness, please come back safely. I have something to say to you. 】
