Space farming: The evil mother relies on raising Zaizai to clear her name

Chapter 231- 240

Chapter 231, Deputy General Zuo
  Huaiyang, City Master, led everyone into the city, and the enthusiastic people lined the streets to welcome him. Except for Ning'er who was sitting on the horse and being led by Bai Hao, everyone else dismounted and moved forward.

  Some people secretly thought in their hearts that the God of War was really different when fighting, and he even had a child by his side, just like playing.

  Ning'er's status is so noble that even if someone is dissatisfied, they don't dare to show it.

  His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will arrive in two days, so it won't be a big problem.

  At this time, Zuo Huai, the deputy general following General Lin, came towards him with a group of lightly injured soldiers. Seeing Bai Hao, Mingyang and Ning'er, I felt a little confused.

  He received an urgent letter from 800 miles away saying that His Royal Highness the Prince was leading troops to support him. But why is a child coming? This child looks very similar to the prince. Could it be his young highness?
  "General Zuo Huai is here to meet Your Highness."

  Ning'er did not ask Zuo Huai to get up, but looked at the injured soldiers behind him.

  These soldiers have dark skin and tall postures, and their clothes don't seem to fit well? Showing a lot of muscles.

  Zuo Huai fled all the way to Anyucheng with the remaining soldiers, and he was followed by these soldiers at that time. He told the city lord that these were General Lin's personal soldiers. General Lin has died on the battlefield. He was injured and fell unconscious to cover General Lin. When he woke up, he found that General Lin was dead.

  Seeing that Ning'er didn't ask anyone to get up, Bai Hao laughed and said, "General Zuo, get up. It's really hard for you. You are still on patrol even though you are injured." Zuo Huai had a cloth wrapped around his left hand, and it didn't look like his injury was serious.

  Zuo Huai said: "This is what a general should do. I haven't seen Mr. Bai for a long time."

  It turns out that he and Bai Hao know each other. Bai Hao laughed, bumped Zuo Huai's shoulder slightly, and said, "Boy, you've gotten a lot darker after not seeing each other for a long time." The sun was shining brightly in Beijiang, so darkening was normal.

  Bai Hao's eyes swept over the people behind him, feeling something was wrong. Are these people really the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

  From the corner of his eye, he saw that Ning'er was silent and suppressed the doubts in his heart. The land and water support the people on one side, and it's normal for people on the border to look more or less the same as the people in the capital.

  "Let's go into the room and talk. Your Highness must be hungry too. Let's talk while we eat."

  Everyone sat around the table. "Has General Zuo seen the enemy's leading general? Who is he?" he asked. It's Long Yi. As a Dragon Guard, he followed the prince on several expeditions and had some knowledge of the barbarian tribes on the frontier.

  Zuo Huai said in a blink of an eye, "The general doesn't know much about this. The enemy's attack this time was very rapid and there is no trace."

  Ning'er's eyes flickered and she said nothing.

  Not long after, servants brought plates of delicious food. Saw a table of delicious and tasty meals. Ning'er immediately turned down her face. He said to Bai Hao, "Uncle, didn't you say that there is a drought in Beijiang? Why are there so many delicious foods? Are the people eating so well?" "

  This." Bai Hao was confused by Ning'er's question. He didn't say this to Ning'er. But now he knew in his heart that Ning'er was angry because she ate too much. The people are living in dire straits, and as parents, officials should share the joys and sorrows with the people.

  Bai Hao immediately said in a deep voice: "Your Highness is right, we need to eat the same food as the common people. They have no harvest due to drought. As a parent who seeks for the welfare of the common people, they should understand their difficulties. Withdraw and distribute to those Bring the food to the poor people."

  Ning'er nodded approvingly, and her peripheral vision fell on a soldier behind Zuo Huai intentionally or unintentionally. Just now when he was talking about whether the people were eating equally well, his eyes were unpredictable. Then there was a flash of calculation.

  It's so subtle that if you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all.

  While they were waiting for their meals, they heard Zuo Huai talk about the war, and Ning'er listened very carefully. Several vulnerabilities were discovered. He glanced at Bai Hao without any trace, and saw that he also frowned slightly.

  Zuo Huai said that General Lin was eager to win and rushed into the enemy camp alone to capture the king. At that time, he was outnumbered, but he bravely fought to save General Lin. General Lin did kill an enemy general, but he was seriously injured as a result.

  Nowadays, people are dead, and there is no evidence of death. Whatever Zuo Huai says, their surname will be whatever they say.

  Long Yi fell into deep thought. Whether it was for victory or to kill the enemy's leader, it was a taboo for military strategists to do anything without complete assurance. As far as he knew, General Lin was not that impulsive. There were definitely still variables in the situation at that time. Or did he get to the point where he had to do this?

  When Zuo Huai asked how many reinforcements were coming to support this time, Ning'er quickly answered: "Fifty thousand. Not long ago, due to the incident of the Second Emperor's Uncle, the number of troops was greatly reduced, so the number of reinforcements coming to support this time was There are only more than 50,000 soldiers."

  Hearing this, Zuo Huai looked sad: "Only 50,000? The disparity in this battle is too big."

  Bai Hao glanced at Ning'er and raised his eyebrows.

  How could a child know these important military matters? It was obvious that Zuo Huai took Ning'er's words as a joke. The actual number is much higher. However, he did listen to the sentence about the lack of troops due to the Second Prince.

  "I wonder when His Highness the Crown Prince will arrive at Anyu City." Zuo Huai said to Bai Hao.

  "Well, it's hard to say. The Crown Princess is a woman after all, and it's hard to bear the long journey."

  After hearing this, everyone looked unhappy.

  They really treat war as a child's play. Was he accompanying the Crown Princess on a sightseeing tour at such an important moment?

  City Lord Yang and some monks Zhang Er were confused. Didn't they say that they would arrive in just two days? Can't tell now? How will this battle be fought then? Shouldn't a child be allowed to lead the troops in formation?
  Zuo Huai was a little angry, but he didn't dare to show it.

  When Mingyang met Ning'er's gaze towards him, he was stunned and didn't understand what he meant. Sisi thought again and again and tentatively said: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether His Highness the Crown Prince can come in time or not. He has already transferred all the ownership rights." I have handed it over to His Highness, allowing us to fully obey His arrangements."

  After receiving Ning'er's approving look, Mingyang felt puzzled. Before he could figure it out, he heard Zuo Huai say angrily.

  "It's just nonsense." Zuo Huai finally couldn't help but get angry. "This is a war, not a game of house. The prince really does not take the lives of the people in his eyes."

  Bai Hao smiled slightly, comforted Zuo Huai, and said: "Why would General Zuo Huai be so angry? Your Highness is familiar with military books. , even though he is young, he is very smart, even the emperor is full of praises, and brings him to court every day. Whenever the emperor has problems that cannot be solved, it is Ning'er's ideas, and the saint wins the heart of the dragon. I think he is the prince. His Highness also intends for him to learn from it."

  So what if he goes to court? So what if you are familiar with the art of war? After all, he is a child.

  The left side of his face was very stuffy.

  As for what was going on in his mind, no one knew.

  Bai Hao cooperated with Ning'er because he felt something was wrong with the soldiers behind Zuo Huai. Then Mingyang relies entirely on guessing.

  In principle, children and women are not allowed to enter the military camp, but the Crown Princess and this little Highness named Ning'er not only receive the favor of the Holy Prince, but also the favor of the Prince. It is said that for the sake of the crown princess, even the rule that the harem was not allowed to participate in politics was abolished.

  It's really puzzling.

  Didn't he just save the prince twice? Isn't it just to help the prince get back his belongings? As for being so lenient?

  Zuo Huai was very unconvinced.
