The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Outside the door, the two maids Caiyun and Caiyue leaned against the door frame, their eyes half closed, as if they were in a dream. Their rest was not peaceful, because from within the door, they could faintly hear faint whispers and moans.

"Ouch, that hurts a little..."

"Where does it hurt?"

"My whole body hurts!"

"..."

The next morning, at dawn, Duan Tianyang walked out of Yi Shuirou's boudoir lightly.

When I turned around, I saw Caiyun and Caiyue curled up by the doorstep, still looking a little tired in their dreams.

He closed the door carefully, fearing to disturb the tranquility, and then left quietly with the tiptoes, like a gentle breeze.

Stepping into the yard, Duan Tianyang stretched his arms and stretched himself, as if releasing the tension and worry of the past few days.

Ever since he heard that Yi Shuirou was infected with the soul-stealing poison, his heart had been tense as if hanging by a thread. But now that he saw that she was safe, the huge stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he felt relieved.

As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer came forward, bowed and called softly, "Brother Tian!"

Duan Tianyang responded with a smile and asked, "Did everyone have fun last night?"

Lu Jingyuan smiled and said, "It's more than just happiness, the party hasn't ended yet!"

"Still drinking?"

"No, it's just that all the guests are drunk and are sleeping soundly in the hall."

Hua Duoer, who was standing aside, looked towards the direction of Duan Tianyang and Yi Shuirou's room with a subtle expression, as if she had thousands of words to say.

Duan Tianyang smiled calmly and said leisurely: "We just won a big battle, so we should let the brothers relax."

Lu Jingyuan responded with a serious look: "Brother Tian, ​​the Jin army is fleeing towards Jinling Town. They may defend this place to the death."

Duan Tianyang chuckled and said confidently: "It doesn't matter. Jinling Town will fall into our hands sooner or later anyway."

After a short pause, he gave further instructions: "Send a message to the brothers in Tianyan Hall to gather information around Jinling Town. Once you find enemy reinforcements, be sure to report immediately."

Lu Jingyuan immediately bowed and replied, "Yes! Brother Tian!"

Then, Duan Tianyang turned to Hua Duoer and gently instructed: "Duoer, go to the front yard to wake up the brothers. The war is not over yet, and now is not the time for us to completely relax."

"Yes." Hua Duoer looked at Duan Tianyang again and then left.

On that day, Duan Tianyang, Yi Shuirou and the generals of the Hongxing Army and the Imperial Army gathered together to discuss the next strategic deployment.

Everyone had the same goal, heading straight for Jinling Town, but how to conquer this fortified city became a difficult problem facing everyone.

In the battle of Mucheng, although the Jin army suffered heavy losses, it still had 100,000 troops, while our side also had more than 100,000 troops, and the strength of both sides was equal.

The commander of the 15th Corps, Feng Sheng, frowned and said in a deep voice: "Our army and the Jin army are equal in strength. It is not easy to take Nanjing." After saying that, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Wen Dao Zun raised his lips slightly and responded confidently: "As a general rule, you need to have three times as many troops as the enemy to capture a city, but today's situation is no longer comparable to ordinary situations."

He changed the subject and continued, "The Jin army once besieged Mucheng with the strength of two legions, but why did they divide 50,000 troops to chase the 2,000 people under your command? General Feng, do you understand the reason?"

Feng Sheng was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, Wen Daozun spoke first: "Your Excellency led 2,000 elite soldiers to attack Jinling by surprise and burned their food and grass. This feat drove the Jin army crazy. Now, 100,000 Jin troops are trapped in Jinling and are running out of food and grass. They are like a hungry tiger trapped in a cage. How can they last?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

Feng Sheng turned to Duan Tianyang and Yi Shuirou excitedly and said, "Princess, Lord Duan, according to the current situation, our army should take action immediately to cut off the food supply to Nanjing and make the Jin army collapse without a fight. Once the food supply is cut off, Nanjing will be destroyed and our army will win!"

Yi Shuirou nodded her head lightly and was about to open her mouth, but Duan Tianyang had already smiled and said leisurely: "Before the banquet last night, I sent three regiments to quietly go to the vicinity of Jinling Town. They were divided into three groups and hid in the major roads. If the Jin army's grain transport team passed by, they would be killed without return."

After saying this, he turned his eyes slightly and glanced at Zheng Guang. This idea was actually proposed by the latter.

Feng Sheng was stunned at first, but then he was convinced. He bowed and praised, "Lord Duan is very wise and far-sighted. He is truly a role model for me!"

Yi Shuirou also smiled as beautifully as a flower, with a gleam of approval in her eyes.

The reason why Duan Tianyang didn't mention Zheng Guang at all was not because he was greedy for credit, but because he was afraid that Yi Shuirou would take Zheng Guang back again.

Yi Shuirou looked around and said loudly: "Since Lord Duan has made thorough preparations, our army should set out immediately and attack Nanjing directly for the final showdown with the Jin army!"

After he finished speaking, all the generals stood up, saluted, and said in unison: "I obey your orders!"

On that day, the two armies stopped in Mucheng to rest and prepare for war in full swing.

The next morning, the two armies marched out of Mucheng and headed straight for Jinling Town.

Soon, the two armies arrived safely and set up camp five miles outside Jinling Town.

Duan Tianyang and Yi Shuirou led the generals to the front line to scout the enemy situation.

The defense of Jinling Town is as solid as a rock. At this moment, the city gates are closed, the drawbridge is hanging high, there is a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps on the city wall, and patrol teams are constantly moving back and forth, which shows how strict the enemy's vigilance is.

Yi Shuirou asked her subordinates for a map of the Jinling Town area, slowly unfolded it, and examined it carefully. At the same time, she asked in a deep voice: "Are there any signs of enemy reinforcements around Jinling Town?"

The generals all around looked at each other, none of them saying a word.

The imperial army has not yet sent spies to explore this area; on the other hand, the Hongxing army has already sent spies all around Jinling Town, but they will not report the situation to Yi Shuirou.

Finally, it was Duan Tianyang who broke the silence. He said calmly, "There is no sign of Jin army reinforcements near Jinling Town. Recently, our army ambushed around Jinling Town and successfully intercepted two grain transport teams. Apart from that, there is no other enemy situation."

Yi Shuirou heard this, hesitated for a moment, turned her head and called out, "General Feng!"

Hearing the voice, Feng Sheng immediately rode forward, saluted, and said, "I am here!"

Yi Shuirou's eyes were firm as she ordered, "Immediately dispatch elite troops to clear out all enemy strongholds around Jinling Town. These strongholds are hidden dangers that cannot be ignored by our army."

"Yes, Princess!"

Yi Shuirou then added: "Also, our camp cannot be limited to the southern part of Jinling Town. We need to set up three more camps in the north, east, and west to prevent the enemy from abandoning the city and fleeing, and we will not be able to intercept them in time."

Feng Sheng looked embarrassed and reminded: "My Lord, our troops are limited and may not be able to support the camping around the city."

Yi Shuirou raised a faint smile, full of confidence: "The Jin army is not a god, how can they predict our army's movements? The camps are set up around the city, where the main force is, and it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. The Jin army dare not act rashly. This is a strategy to confuse the enemy."

Feng Sheng suddenly understood what was going on and praised from the bottom of his heart: "The princess is wise!"

On the side, Duan Tianyang watched Yi Shuirou's decision leisurely. This scene was also quite interesting to him.
