I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Chapter 595: Falling asleep with Tu Que Ling

Shen Changgong said to Li Shanyue,

"Master Li, I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter. When I come with my army, I will bring the silver to you.

Dai Xing, arrange for two people to escort Master Li back."

"As ordered!"

Li Shanyue immediately followed the two guards with a smile.

He also knew that these two guards were there to monitor him and prevent him from secretly sending messages to the Wei army.

When it comes to military matters, he can only cooperate unconditionally. If he does the job well, he can save his head and make a fortune.

After they left, Shen Changgong took out the map again and said,

"Wei Bufan, you are familiar with this area. See if there is a road that can allow hundreds of thousands of troops to come directly here from the county seat of Zhengxiang."

When Shen Changgong and his men came here, they first went west and then went south along the river. If a large army was coming, they would have to go straight southwest, which would save the most time.

Zhao Bufan took the map, looked at it for a long time, and said,

"Your Highness, there's a country road here. Although it's not as wide as the official road, it's still passable. The section on the plain is fine, but it becomes difficult once you get into the mountains. It's only a short section that's steep, but otherwise it's fine."

"That's fine. After we go back tomorrow, let's take a walk along this road and see for ourselves."

At this time, Tu Que Ling hurriedly asked,

"Your Highness, if we don't go to the shipyard, where are we going to sleep tonight? It's in the middle of nowhere, there's not even a village."

"Go up the mountain and sleep under the trees."

Shen Changgong said calmly.

Zhao Bufan was shocked when he heard this. Common people like them who relied on their feet to travel were used to sleeping on the grass or under trees in the open air. But this prince was a daughter of a wealthy family, and he actually slept under a tree with them?

Can you endure so much hardship?

But he didn't say much. He was very sleepy now. He had been busy sending emails last night and hadn't slept for two days and one night. It would be great if he didn't have to travel all night tonight.

They walked eastward and came to a not-so-high hill. They cleared out some open space, picked up dry firewood to boil water, and had dinner together with some dry food.

Afterwards, the soldiers left a few people to take turns to keep watch, while the others went to sleep with their clothes on.

Shen Changgong and Tu Queling got some hay and spread it under a tree. They also took interest in weaving two pillows with some shrub vines, and then lay down together.

He took off his cloak and spread it on himself. Turning his head, he saw that Tu Que Ling was not covered with anything, so he said,

"Please squeeze in here. This cloak can cover two people."

Tu Que Ling's pretty face turned slightly red and she said,

"That's not good. It's a bit too much."

"It's okay. We're all family. Living away from home means limited living conditions. We can just make do with what we have. It's warm enough if we squeeze together."

"Ok."

Tu Queling's face was red as she lay down next to Shen Changgong. Shen Changgong covered her with his cloak and then closed his eyes.

Soon, Shen Changgong fell asleep. Although he was a little cold, he was not a pretentious person. Fighting outside, the conditions must be difficult.

Tu Queling couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Feeling the temperature around him, his face became hotter and redder.

She looked at the twinkling stars in the gaps between the leaves in the sky, and her mind was filled with the beauty of that night.

This time, I was still so close to him, but there were people everywhere around me, so I couldn't do anything shameful.

But if he is awake, I'm afraid he won't do anything to me, right?

After all, I am just a fallen woman, how can I be worthy of his attention?

When can I sleep with him openly?

Tu Que Ling was thinking and complaining to himself, which was completely different from the cold, ruthless and serious assistant of Lanling Wang during the day.

At night, the cold air intensified, and Tu Que Ling felt colder and colder. He curled up unconsciously and leaned towards the source of warmth beside him. Gradually, he turned sideways and hugged the warm body tightly, like a wild cat in the cold winter, instinctively moving towards the warm place.

She snuggled on Shen Changgong's shoulder and gradually fell asleep.

……

The early morning sun pierced the night sky, and the darkness dissipated at the edge of the west. Dewdrops hung on the leaves, and a naughty bird tapped lightly on the branches, and a drop of dew fell on the face of the man below.

Shen Changgong was extremely sensitive, and the coldness on his face instantly woke him up from his sleep.

He suddenly opened his eyes, looked around, and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there were no enemies.

He saw Tu Queling sleeping on his shoulder, hugging him tightly. Her expression with a slightly pouting face and a bit of grievance was so vivid that he didn't know what kind of grievance she had suffered in her dream.

A smile appeared on Shen Changgong's lips, and at this moment he actually felt a little sorry for Tu Queling.

This woman had a miserable life, but she was loyal to him and had always been his shadow, working hard and never complaining. It wasn't easy for her.

Unfortunately, he didn't know how to repay Tu Queling.

Give her gold and silver? She doesn't lack money, and it's useless for a lonely person to ask for too much money.

Giving her status? This is the highest we can offer her now.

Give her a home? Unfortunately, I don’t know what kind of man she likes or what kind of husband she wants to find.

It's really difficult.

Although he was awake, he didn't move. It was just dawn now, so let's all sleep a little longer.

He looked at the gradually brightening sky, and his mind was always planning the battle of crossing the river, wondering which legion to lead across the river to fight.

The Zhennan Army must contribute half of its troops, and the Zhennan Army is indispensable in charging into the enemy's main force.

In addition, to attack camps and positions, and to set up cannons on the shore to bombard enemy ships, a legion of 100,000 soldiers is needed.

On the Wei side, 300,000 troops were in Luoyang and 200,000 were deployed on the north bank. This was a tough battle. The enemy's morale had to be destroyed as quickly as possible, and they had to be wary of a counterattack from the enemy in Luoyang.

So we need an iron army with iron will.

Among the Yan army, the legion with the most battles and the strongest combat effectiveness was the Tianyu Army.

The Tianyu Army has 150,000 soldiers. If 100,000 are taken away, the remaining 50,000 can continue to march under the Tianyu Army's banner and confuse the enemy.

Let the enemy on the other side think that all the Yan army corps are still on the north bank.

Well, let’s do it this way and lead 100,000 Tianyu soldiers across the river.

Let Yu Yingjun stay. It’s better not to let Yu Ziling do such risky things.

When it was bright, Tu Queling woke up.

When she saw that she was pressed against Shen Changgong, her face flushed instantly. She quickly pulled back her arms and legs and whispered,

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I..."

Shen Changgong smiled and said,

"What's there to be sorry about? You'll be warm if you squeeze in. It was quite cold last night, but you're quite soft, so it's very comfortable to hug you."
