Reborn Lady - Chapter 354
Amid such increasingly dense and continuous drumbeats, Yin Hui’s hands gradually became unable to hold onto Wei Luo’s shoulders. Wei Luo just looked at her, observing her as all the worries in her at the moment were reflected in her dark phoenix eyes.
After a day of worrying and exhorting, Yin Hui was exhausted and fell asleep in his arms.
When she woke up, Wei Luo had disappeared, and the maid Yingchun told her that he woke up at dawn, and before he left, he told her that she shouldn’t wait for him for dinner.
Yin Hui sat on the bed in a daze, her mind full of Wei Luo’s eyes, as deep and silent as the night sky.
He hugged her after entering the room the previous night, and the two of them hardly spoke a word, but Yin Hui could feel that Wei Luo seemed to be in a good mood.
Going to war, and she and the children were so worried, but he was actually in a good mood? Was he a wolf already tired of dealing with the files of the Ministry of Punishment every day, eager to go to the battlefield to fight?
This heartless guy.
After tidying up, Yin Hui went to the main room.
The three siblings arrived one after another. That day was only the eighth day of the first lunar month, and the children were also enjoying their annual leave, so they didn’t have to study.
“Mother, my father came to see me before leaving,” Xiao Heng told his mother.
He was still asleep at the time, and his father sat down beside his bed. Xiao Heng woke up suddenly, and then his father told him that he was going to deploy the Imperial Army going south that day, and he would be busy until late, so he told him not to wait for him to come back at night with his mother like they did the previous night. His father also said that he was the Eldest Brother, and when his father was not at home, he would help his mother take care of his younger siblings.
“Father also came to see me,” Xiao Xun added after his brother finished speaking.
Xiao Ning blinked her eyes. At this moment, the nurse next to her smiled and said, “My lord also went to see the girl. She was sleeping soundly, so my lord didn’t have the heart to wake her up.” Xiao Ning was glad that her father had not forgotten her.
“I miss my father very much, so I told my wet nurse to wake me up when my father visits me tomorrow morning,'” Xiao Ning added.
The nanny responded with a smile.
Yin Hui looked at the three children. Except for Xiao Heng, Xiao Xun, and Xiao Ning didn’t know how dangerous the battlefield would be.
As the mother and children were talking and the breakfast was about to be served, the guard suddenly sent someone to announce that Ji Chang had arrived.
Ji Chang was Yin Yong, and Yin Hui hurriedly took the children out to welcome him.
When they arrived at the front yard, they saw that her grandfather had been invited in by the steward, but his expression was serious.
“Where is the Prince?” Yin Yong asked first.
Yin Hui explained, “The Imperial Court was going to send troops to the south, and the lord has gone out to work early in the morning.”
Yin Yong stroked his beard and said to Yin Hui, “I have something important to tell the lord. Ah Hui, please send someone to invite the lord to come back without delay.”
Yin Hui looked at her grandfather, not doubting him, and immediately asked An Shun’er to make arrangements.
Wei Luo was in the Ministry of War, and when he learned that Yin Yong wanted to see him at this juncture, Wei Luo guessed that the old man had something important to discuss, so he immediately put down what he was doing and went back to the palace.
Seeing each other, Wei Luo and Yin Yong went to the study to talk, and not long after, Wei Luo took Yin Yong into the palace again.
Emperor Yongping was fascinated by the map of Yu Kingdom.
Yesterday he was really annoyed by Yu’s invasion. A small frontier kingdom came to provoke him when he was in power. Emperor Yongping wished he could personally lead his troops to destroy Yu. But when he woke up that morning, Emperor Yongping suddenly felt that the decision to send troops made yesterday was a bit inappropriate. Although Yu Kingdom was small, it was located in a hot and humid southwest, which was different from the powerful grassland country in the north.
The first Emperor had given a warning that there was no need to send troops to fight against the Yu unless they took the initiative to provoke trouble.
Now that the Yu were provoking them first, Emperor Yongping would definitely fight. The question was, how to fight? Could the tactics used to deal with the grassland be directly applied to destroy Yu?
Most of the military generals in the court were his former troops from the Northland. All of them had experience in fighting the grasslands, but they were all new to the Yu Kingdom. Mu Cheng, the southwestern guard, was familiar with the Yu Kingdom. Unfortunately, he was far away and could not be called immediately to discuss strategies together.
At this time, Eunuch Hai reported that Prince Shu and Ji Chang asked to see him.
Emperor Yongping allowed them to enter.
Wei Luo often saw Emperor Yongping and bowed his hands to pay respects, while Yin Yong knelt down and saluted. Emperor Yongping smiled and said, “You don’t need to be polite. You’ve come to see me at this time, is it for the southern expedition? What’s your opinion?”
Yin Yong said bluntly, “The Yu have invaded the frontier of our Great Wei, and the Emperor is sending troops to retaliate. It is a just cause, and it aligns with the wishes of the people. However, the situation in the Yu Kingdom is complex, with numerous mountains and waters, and the summer there is long and oppressively hot. But in June, the intense heat facilitates the breeding of miasma. If our army were to become infected with miasma, it could spread rapidly, leading to numerous casualties. Therefore, I suggest that the Emperor’s directive for the southern expedition remain unchanged. However, we should gradually mobilize troops from various regions to fully prepare before engaging in battle. Once the weather cools down in July, our army can seize the opportunity to advance southward and conquer the Yu Kingdom in one go.”
Emperor Yongping pondered for a moment and asked, “Could it be that the Old Man has been to the Yu Kingdom?”
Yin Yong replied, “Exactly. When I was thirty-two years old, I led a caravan of one hundred people into there. However, more than ten people died of miasma and plague, and the journey was perilous. The local people were too poor to seek medical treatment, so they could only lie in the broken straw huts and wait for death. If you burn it, you can’t even keep the corpse.”
Emperor Yongping nodded and then turned to Wei Luo, asking, “What do you think?”
Wei Luo responded, “Your son has never been to the Yu Kingdom, and the military books he has read rarely involve them. However, I have heard of miasma. The army being densely populated, even a single infection can cause disaster for the entire camp, so we must guard against it.”
