The ugly girl's nirvana, the disabled prince's love

Chapter 213: The Western Region Army is Cunning and Changeable

At this time, the sky was just getting light, and Jingfeng City was still shrouded in a thin layer of morning mist. Yu Gongyu and his group slowly returned, and their figures, under the reflection of the morning light, lacked some of the glory of their past triumphs.

Yu Gongyu walked at the front of the team. His figure looked a little lonely, his eyes were dull, full of distraction and worry.

He was always worried about Ren Jingzhi, who he had not brought back. He didn't know what his current situation was like and whether he was in danger. Every time he thought of this, his heart tightened.

Lin Bei and Lin Nan behind Yu Gongyu were in the same mood as him. They were also worried about their master's safety, but they had to obey their master's orders. They prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that their master would return safely as soon as possible.

The captives walked slowly behind the team, each of their faces filled with joy and excitement that were difficult to conceal.

Some of them raised their heads slightly, their eyes full of emotion and relief. They were glad that they could return safely after all this setback; some of them had tears in their eyes and were filled with gratitude, as if they couldn't believe that they were really on the road home.

Although their steps were a little heavy, they carried with them a new hope and rekindled their longing for the future.

When the soldiers on the city wall saw Yu Gong Bao and his men coming back, they excitedly pulled over a soldier beside them, pointed with trembling hands at a team walking towards the city wall and shouted, "They're back, that's great, they're back!" The sound echoed in the morning breeze, as if to convey this joy to every corner.

Soon, the news spread like wildfire in the city. Soon, the people spontaneously organized themselves to welcome the heroes back along the city roads. Everyone in the crowd was excitedly talking to each other.

An old man stroked his beard and said with emotion: "After all, the court still cares about the lives of our people! Look, they rescued the captives so quickly."

A young man next to him nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we are lucky to have such a court and such a general."

Another person said with a look of admiration on his face: "The King of Pingxi is so brave! With him, we have a backbone." Everyone echoed, and the praises for King Pingxi Yu Gongyu were endless.

At this moment, a woman cried out with excitement, "That's great, my son is rescued, he can come back..." She clasped her hands together and kept repeating words of gratitude.

The people around her comforted her: "Auntie, don't cry, your son is back safely, this is a great thing."

The woman wiped her tears and showed a relieved smile on her face: "I knew that the court would not ignore us. The King of Pingxi will definitely bring my son back."

Children in the crowd were also jumping up and down excitedly. Although they didn’t quite understand what the adults were saying, they could feel the joyful atmosphere.

Everyone was looking forward to the arrival of the heroic team, ready to welcome their return with the warmest cheers and applause.

At the same time, County Magistrate Xiang and his legal advisor were also waiting at the city gate early. Their faces were full of joy, and their eyes were shining with satisfaction and appreciation.

Seeing Yu Gongyu and others approaching, the county magistrates hurried forward, bowed and saluted, saying: "King Pingxi, soldiers, you have worked hard!"

Yu Gongyu returned the greeting slightly, his voice slightly low: "Master Xiang, please don't be polite. Although I brought these people back this time, they have gone through many twists and turns and are exhausted both physically and mentally.

I also ask Lord Xiang to make sure that the people we brought back are properly settled, so that they can recover from this ordeal as soon as possible and live a stable life again."

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Xiang's expression froze, and he immediately saluted and said, "Don't worry, Prince Pingxi, I will do my best to properly settle the people."

Yu Gongyu nodded slightly, but his eyes still carried a trace of barely perceptible worry. He turned and looked at the team behind him, and those tired but resolute faces made him feel deeply moved.

On both sides of the street, people waved their flags and saluted Umiyadama and his companions. However, Umiyadama only responded politely to everyone's welcome. He nodded slightly and managed a smile on his face, but that smile could not reach his eyes.

In this hopeful morning light, the bustle of Jingfeng City formed a sharp contrast with Umiya Tama's worries.

People were full of joy and anticipation for their future life. However, Yu Gongyu was filled with worry about Ren Jingzhi's safety.

At the same time, he was also deeply saddened by the soldiers who died in the rescue operation. Although he knew that war was cruel and ruthless, the heavy concern and sorrow still followed him like a shadow, weighing on his heart and making it difficult for him to let go.

In the main tent, Yu Gongyu stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the map hanging in the tent with a serious expression. He frowned slightly, constantly thinking of various strategies in his mind.

Yu Gongyu knew very well that the power of the Western Region Army should not be underestimated. Although his food supplies were burned last night, he also knew that their food supplies would not be stored in large quantities. In other words, their combat operations would not be affected by the burning of food supplies in the short term.

If you want to repel them in a short time, you have to plan carefully. His fingers gently slid across the map, his eyes resting on the key position of Yuancheng County.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Gongyu slowly said: "Now that the Western Region Army has occupied Yuancheng, we need to divide our troops into multiple routes. On the one hand, we will send out elite teams to sneak into the city in disguise to find out the enemy's deployment and look for opportunities to take advantage of.

On the other hand, we will set up an ambush outside the city to lure the Western Region Palace out of the city to fight. Once they fall into our trap, we will quickly recapture Yuancheng County."

After that, Yu Gongyu slightly turned sideways, looked at General Li with a sharp gaze, and said in a deep voice: "General Li, you have guarded the border for many years and have fought against the Western Region Army many times. What do you think of my layout just now?"

General Li was slightly startled, then he bowed his hands solemnly and said, "General, your plan is well thought out and well laid out. However, the Western Region Army is cunning and changeable, and is quite familiar with the terrain of Yuancheng County. When we act, we must be extra cautious to prevent the enemy from counterattacking."

Yu Gongyu nodded slightly, and said thoughtfully: "General Li is right. In your opinion, what else do we need to guard against?"

General Li stroked his beard, pondered for a moment and said: "First, the team that sneaks into the city must be selected from elite soldiers and strong generals, and must be fully prepared to ensure that they can play a role at the critical moment.

Second, the ambush outside the city must be arranged secretly and not be noticed by the enemy. Third, when uniting with surrounding cities, it is necessary to ensure that all parties cooperate well and avoid any incoordination.

In addition, we need to keep an eye on the enemy's movements so that we can adjust our strategies in a timely manner."

After hearing this, Yu Gongyu showed appreciation in his eyes and said, "General Li is indeed experienced and what he said is very true. Then we will further improve the plan according to the results of our discussion and make sure that this operation is foolproof."

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the tent, and Chen Yi walked in with a serious expression.
