Chapter 162: The Talk

The next day, early morning.

Two birds jumped on the branches, sipping the morning dew in the petals of peach tree.

The morning mist has not yet dissipated.

Huang Chengyan rode a donkey and slowly returned home.

There was a gourd serving wine on his waist, and a drunken blush on his face. As soon as he entered the door, he called Ah Fu to prepare for sobering tea. Huang Yueying was checking the map of Jingzhou in the house. When he heard the noise outside, he knew that his father had returned home, so he hurried out to greet him.

When Huang Chengyan saw his beloved daughter, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Ying'er, have you... been out of the army early?"

"I haven't even started the army."

Huang Yueying shook her head slightly and explained: "This time, just because I heard that there will be war in Jingzhou, the teacher who taught me ordered me to come and watch the battle, and then go back and submit a policy to see if I can apply what I have learned now."

"oh?"

Huang Chengyan hurriedly asked, "What do you think about this war?"

"If I'm not wrong..."

Huang Yueying stood with her hands behind her back and said lightly: "Sun Jian may take advantage of it after the war, but it will only end up in vain."

"how so?"

Huang Chengyan frowned and couldn't help but say, "Everyone said that Sun Jian is a general who is invincible and can defeat him. If he really came to raise an army, how could Jingzhou resist it?"

"The key to this battle is not Sun Jian, but General Yuan Shu."

Huang Yueying looked calm and said slowly: "Yuan Shu decided to attack Jingzhou, but he was so arrogant because Liu Biao refused to borrow food. Since this battle was not far-sighted, Yuan Shu's temperament would easily repeat. Once Jingzhou was unable to be defeated for a long time, he would definitely order Sun Jian to withdraw his troops."

Huang Chengyan asked, "What if Sun Jian won consecutive battles?"

“The result is still the same.”

Huang Yueying sighed leisurely and said lightly: "Sun Jian himself is already unstoppable, and he has a group of elite soldiers and generals under his command. Yuan Shu cannot be guarded against him. If Sun Jian tends to swallow Jingzhou, Yuan Shu will definitely be restrained from the back. He will never hope to get rid of Liu Biao, but instead will emerge a stronger Sun Jian. Sun Jian's food and grass supply is controlled by Yuan Shu, and once there is a problem, he can only withdraw his troops."

"So..." Huang Chengyan was shocked: "So Sun Jian really has no chance of winning?"

"The victory or defeat of this battle is destined before it even began."

Huang Yueying looked calm and nodded, "It's just that Sun Jian was blamed for choosing an incompetent master, but it's just that he was too hasty. Liu Biao was in charge of Jingzhou for several years and had won the hearts of the people. He also had the dangers of Xiangyang's high city. Even if Yuan Shu was not restrained from the rear, it would be no easy task to break the city."

Huang Chengyan thought for a while and finally sighed: "Before the war has begun, I have already understood its background. Ying'er, you... really don't disappoint my expectations!"

"These are just tricks, after all, the role of a strategist is to break the deadlock."

Huang Yueying shook her head slightly and remembered another thing: "Speaking of it, someone visited yesterday and wanted to have an interview with her father. The man claimed to be a foreign merchant, and the name was Roqi. What he asked for was a trivial matter, saying that he was to relieve his friends' difficulties."

Huang Chengyan picked up the teacup, raised his eyebrows and said, "...outside merchants?"

"Although he is such an excuse, it's not the truth." Huang Yueying smiled and said, "I think he is extraordinary in his words and deeds, and his demeanor is definitely not an ordinary businessman. But since he refuses to say it explicitly, his daughter is inconvenient to ask more questions."

When Huang Chengyan heard this, he couldn't help but wonder: "Will he have other plans to come to my Huang family?"

“No.”

Huang Yueying smiled indifferently and said, "After all, we don't have anything that can make people plan."

"I just thought about it for my father..." Huang Chengyan understood and couldn't help but smile freely and sighed: "It seems that you have not wasted your life in the past two years. You are so clever when you see people and things. It turns out that you are better than the blue!"

"My daughter is ashamed."

"Master." Ah Fu walked into the door with a bowl of soup: "The sobering soup is ready."

"Put it on the table first."

"Dad must have been a hangover last night, so it would be better to take a break." Huang Yueying stood up and said lightly: "With the weather this morning, my daughter wants to go out of the city for a walk."

Huang Chengyan comforted his fingers and said, "Ying'er wants to go out and relax?"

"That's right."

Huang Yueying looked at the dark blue sky outside and continued with a calm expression: "... By the way, there is still some idea to confirm."

Huang Chengyan looked at his daughter.

Suddenly at this moment, he felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. The pearl that had been holding in his palm for many years has finally begun to emit a shining brilliance.

And it's so dazzling!

And right in Xianshan, southwest of Xiangyang, Luo Qi was also looking up at the sky.

A black eagle hovered in the sky.

Then a feather arrow broke through the air and penetrated it in an instant. The sharp tip of the arrow brought up a few blood beads, like poppy flowers blooming in the air.

The black eagle fell down immediately and fell in front of Roche.

"Even as a predator, there will be disasters coming, and life and death are determined by strength and weakness. Is this God's will?" Roqi stared at the black eagle with a vague expression: "Just say that, Dan'er, do you believe in God?"

The girl put away the jade carved bow, curled her lips and said simply: "Don't believe it!"

“This is the best.”

Roqi smiled and said, "If you don't believe in heaven, you won't leave it to fate."

"Then do you believe in God?"

"I don't know." Roqi sighed first, and then said decisively: "But if there is really a so-called destiny in this world, only I can capture its intentions. At least now I have seen... Sun Jian will die here. And as long as I don't interfere, this is the destined ending!"

"That's why you want to stay in Jingzhou?"

"That's right." Luo Qi nodded and said lightly: "I want to see with my own eyes whether my prediction will come true."

"I see."

Roqi smiled and said, "We have already visited all over Xianshan, so let's go down the mountain now."

The girl acts as she says.

The mountain road in Xianshan is not wide, but there are many wild flowers blooming beside the road. As soon as they walked up the road, they saw a figure appearing in front of them, as graceful as Chang'e in the moon, which was Huang Yueying she had seen before. Now she was still covered with that gauze and was slowly walking up the mountain along the mountain road.

"What a coincidence."

Roche stopped and bowed and smiled, "Girl is here to admire the mountains?"

"Is it a mountain viewing or is it another way?" Huang Yueying smiled faintly and said with her hands behind her back: "Everyone has the same opinion, why bother to go around?"

"So……"

Roche paused and said in a shocking voice: "Miss also calculated that Sun Jian might die here?"

"The terrain is the help of the soldiers. It is expected that the enemy will win, and the plan will be dangerous and narrow, and the way of the general. Those who know this and use war will win, and those who do not know this and use war will lose..." Huang Yueying nodded slightly and said, "If Jingzhou uses this place to make arrangements, Sun Jian will indeed have no life."

"Topographic Chapter, tenth..." Luo Qi smiled bitterly and said, "This is Sun Tzu's Art of War."

Dan'er also changed her expression and stared at Huang Yueying fiercely.

"It's true that it's the same as I thought." Huang Yueying noticed her expression and couldn't help but smile: "I don't know the situation in the south, but I also know that there is a Yue country there. You can reach my east by patrolling the waterway along the South China Sea. I heard that envoys have been sent to my Eastern Han Dynasty now..."
