Qin Canglan and Su MO came over very quickly.
At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao was in Xiao Duye’s tent, treating the tool, Xiao Duye, for a cold.
Leng Kui wanted to chase this irksome little girl out, but other than her, Xiao Duye did not want to see any other physicians. He said that their medical skills were not as good as hers.
Su Xiaoxiao gave him a prescription. The list was filled with herbs. The medical official took the prescription and went to get the herbs.
When Qin Canglan and Su MO arrived at Xiao Duye’s tent, he had just finished a bowl of bitter medicine.
“Your Highness.”
Qin Canglan looked at his precious granddaughter and cupped his hands and bowed to Xiao Duye with Su Mo.
Xiao Duye frowned at the bitterness. He seriously suspected that this girl had deliberately prescribed such bitter medicine for him. It was so disgusting.
He nodded and held back the bitterness in his mouth. “How are the remnants of the Northern Yan?”
Qin Canglan said without changing his expression, “They escaped into Little
Phoenix Mountain.”
“Where is Little Phoenix Mountain?” Xiao Duye was not familiar with the terrain of the border.
Qin Canglan said, “It’s a mountain ten miles outside the southern gate of the barbican. The entrance is a canyon with mountains on both sides. There’s a very empty valley. Currently, the army of the Northern Yan is stationed there.”
Xiao Duye almost died at the hands of the Northern Yan army. He hated the Northern Yan deeply.
Qin Canglan looked at Xiao Duye’s expression and struck while the iron was hot. “The situation at the border is chaotic. With Your Highness presiding over it, the soldiers are much more at ease. I wonder why Your Highness suddenly came to the border?”
Xiao Duye was wearing tall hats tonight and felt a little smug.
He cleared his throat. “You don’t have to ask about my mission at the border. However, since I’m here, I won’t sit back and do nothing about the situation at the border. Northern Yan is too much. Old Protector Duke, do you have a good plan?”
Leng Kui was unhappy to hear this. He was the general at the border. Since he was commander-in-chief in all but name, he felt that King Liang should ask for his opinion first.
It would be strange if Xiao Duye asked him. If not for this guy giving up Jia County, he would not have had to hide in the cellar for so many days.
Qin Canglan said seriously, “I think we should fight a big battle with Northern
Yan and chase Northern Yan out of Broken North Pass!”
Leng Kui went forward and said, “Your Highness, there are 100,000 troops in Northern Yan. We don’t have enough troops. Fighting with them is no different from throwing an egg at a rock. Other than causing unnecessary casualties, it might also threaten Your Highness’ safety!”
The old rascal also knew to drag Xiao Duye into it.
Qin Canglan snorted. “What do you mean? Are you trying to say that His Highness is a coward? A mere 80,000 troops has frightened you so much. No wonder Northern Yan dares to attack. It’s because of a coward like you!
Northern Yan is fearless! If you don’t dare to hit Northern Yan, I’ll do it!”
“Qin Canglan!” Leng Kui was furious. He had been a general for too long and no one was suppressing him. He had long forgotten what it felt like to be stepped on and scolded.
Even when Qin Canglan came to the border this time, he had always listened to him. He really thought that Qin Canglan was afraid of him.
Heh, what was there for Qin Canglan to be afraid of!
He didn’t embarrass him in public because he didn’t want to mess up the morale of the army.
He really treated himself as the main dish!
“Stop arguing!” Xiao Duye had a headache. “One of you said that there are 100,000 troops in Northern Yan, and the other said that there are 80,000 troops. How many are there?”
Qin Canglan said, “Your Highness, my granddaughter destroyed 5,000 Beiyan troops in Jia County and 10,000 in Linzi. Including the 2,000 that she had exhausted previously, Northern Yan only has 85,000 troops now.”
Leng Kui’s expression turned ugly.
She had silently destroyed nearly 20 ,ooo troops. Even the men of the Leng family could not achieve such merit.
“How many troops do you have?” Xiao Duye asked.
Qin Canglan looked at Leng Kui and said, “If we include the 50,000 troops in General Leng’s hands, there are a total of 70,000 troops. Your Highness is guarding the rear, and the morale of the soldiers is high. I think that the difference of 10,000 troops is not a problem. Our chances of winning are very high!”
“Then fight!” Xiao Duye said impatiently.
Leng Kui said, “Your Highness! You can’t fight!”
Qin Canglan said, “Aren’t you waiting to be bullied by Northern Yan?”
Leng Kui said, “His Majesty…”
