After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Restaurant.

"Zhai Jingxuan" waited for a long time but no one came. Gradually, the attitude of the waiter and the store manager changed. They said that if she ate and no one came to pay, she would have to stay in the kitchen to wash dishes. Ten taels of silver, and she would have to wash dishes for three years!

"Zhai Jingxuan"'s eyes darkened, and she began to regret why she didn't take off Shangguan Qingyue's small shoes to pay for the silver. The little girl must have forgotten about it when she went back! !

Just as he was regretting, a tall man came to the door. He was dressed in casual clothes but had a very impressive aura. The man asked as soon as he entered the door, "Do you have a man here who owes eleven taels of silver?"

The waiter's grinning mouth retracted again. He turned around to look at the messy "Zhai Jingxuan" and replied, "Sir, we don't have a man who owes eleven taels of silver, but we do have a woman who owes eleven taels..."

When the man heard this, his brows furrowed. That’s not right. His Highness said it was a boy!

The man waved his hand, turned around and left, "That's not it!"

"Guest officer..."

The waiter stretched out his hand to call him, but the man walked too fast and disappeared in a flash.

The waiter and "Zhai Jingxuan" who had not yet reacted looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a while, "Zhai Jingxuan" closed her eyes, tears of regret rolling into her heart.

How could he forget this!

"Zhai Jingxuan" suffered eternal regret from one misstep. By the time he finally begged the shopkeeper to take him to the inn to ask for money, Zhao Ying and Shangguan Qingyue were gone.

Zhao Ying and Zhao Xi had a big quarrel, and Zhao Xi left Dali overnight with a few guards. So the next morning, only Zhao Ying set out with 20,000 troops.

Zhao Ying also brought Shangguan Qingyue along. The little guy was extremely tired these past two days and slept a lot. Zhao Ying carried him into the carriage while he was sleeping.

It was three days later when the army marched to the northern border of Myanmar.

Zhao Ying, holding Shangguan Qingyue, Wen Ruhai, Liang Su, and several deputy generals, stood on a high place, looking at the turbulent Canglan River below. Behind them was the army's temporary camp.

Shangguan Qingyue exclaimed, "What a big river!"

"Mom, are there durians on the other side of the river?" Shangguan Qingyue looked up and asked expectantly.

Zhao Ying nodded and patted the little guy's head, "Yes."

Then he said to Liang Su, "General Liang, map!"

Liang Su presented the blueprint respectfully. Several deputy generals nearby looked at each other with some contempt, as if they were doubting that a woman like Zhao Ying, who lived in the deep palace, could understand a military map.

Everyone had their own ulterior motives, but they all shared one thought, which was -

How can a woman fight? Nonsense!

Wen Ruhai has discussed with Liang Su and others that they should follow Zhao Ying's orders for this expedition and not disobey or despise her just because she has no experience or achievements, after all, she bears all the responsibility.

We have to defeat the Burmese as well!

So when she makes a mistake, they will take back the military power. Then the credit will be theirs and the mistake will be Zhao Ying's.

The group of people had good ideas, but unfortunately, they met Zhao Ying.

An undiscovered, natural, fighting, seedling.

Zhao Ying lowered her head and looked at the topographic map that she had memorized by heart. The simple and abstract landscape on the map appeared three-dimensional and lifelike in front of her eyes. At first glance, she felt it was very vivid, and the more she looked at it, the more excited she became...

So, Zhao Ying came prepared.

She pointed to the Canglan River on the map. The end of the river seemed boundless, but not far away there was a mountain through which the river flowed. The most difficult part of attacking the Burmese was nothing else but crossing the river!

After they prepared boats to cross the river, if the Burmese army surrounded them on the other side of the river, it would be as easy as catching a turtle in a jar.

But if we go over the mountain, the terrain is steep and it will be very laborious.

For the Burmese army, the problems they encountered were exactly the same as those of the Great Chu. The Great Chu was located at a high altitude and was in a dominant position, which even gave it some advantages over the Burmese. Therefore, the Burmese and the Great Chu had always avoided fighting.

Liang Su asked, "Your Highness, do you want to cross the river or the mountain?"

Zhao Ying's white fingertips slid along the Canglan River and went straight to the back of the mountain. "A branch of the Canglan River flows through the mountain to the capital of the Burmese king..."

Everyone came over, even Shangguan Qingyue stood on tiptoe to look over.

Wen Ruhai: "What does your highness mean?"

"If we divert the river upstream to the Burmese capital, and if it happens to be the rainy season..." Zhao Ying smiled wickedly and gave an order, "Ten thousand people will be diverted from the valley to the Canglan River day and night!"

After saying that, Zhao Ying picked up Shangguan Qingyue and carried him back to the tent.

Shangguan Qingyue's eyes rolled around, [Mom, do you want it to rain? Then I'll bring you a torrential downpour that never happens in a thousand years, hehe! ]

At the same place, Liang Su and others looked at the drawings silently.

Deputy General Wang Yue was surprised and asked, "How could she come up with such a wicked idea? She wants to flood the Burmese capital. Does she want to turn the Burmese king into a water turtle?"

Ba Hao pinched his jaw, looked at the map, then looked at the real scene. The more he looked, the brighter his eyes became. He said with a sigh, "I have studied border maps for so many years, why didn't I think of such a permanent solution!"

Wu Hongwu sighed, "This is called a bloodless battle..."

Several people soon fell into silence.

It was not until Liang Su collected the drawings and ordered people to dig trenches and change the route.

The Burmese royal palace.

"Your Majesty, according to spies, the army of Great Chu has already reached the Canglan River. I'm afraid they will reach our border someday!"

The Burmese king sneered, "Don't worry, I have already sent troops to the border to encircle and suppress the Chu army. Haha, I really don't know if the emperor of Chu has been kicked in the head by a donkey to let a princess lead the army. You and I will just wait for the battle report of the Chu army's defeat!"

"Hahahaha..." The whole court burst into laughter.

The prime minister stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Although my country is a tiny country, we cannot be bullied at will. Princess Chu is so shameless that she wants us to offer the holy durian fruit as an offering. What a big tone! It's time to let them know the strength of my country!"

A general stood up and said, "That's right. The Great Chu is too bullying. They actually sent out a little girl. I heard that there is even a baby in the barracks. They really don't take us seriously!"

The king raised his hand calmly to stop the officials and said calmly, "Since the winner has been decided, let's discuss what compensation we should ask Da Chu for!"

The prime minister laughed greedily, "The country of Chu is rich and the people are prosperous. I suggest paying one million taels of silver and one million dan of good rice as compensation... I heard that the women of Chu are all as beautiful as fairies. Your Majesty might as well ask for dozens of beauties to serve as maids!"

"Hahahahahaha..." the king laughed loudly.

"It's not good, it's not good!"

A guard rushed in in a panic, soaking wet, with mud on his clothes. Before the king and the officials could deal with him, they heard him say, "Your Majesty, the Canglan River has burst its banks!"

"what?"

The king's smile was still hanging on the corner of his mouth. "What did you say?"

The guards began to cry, "Your Majesty, the Chu army has diverted the tributary of the Canglan River, and it happened that Dali has been experiencing heavy rains. Now the water level of the lower reaches of the Canglan River has risen sharply, and the houses of the people in the capital have been washed away. The flood is heading towards the palace!"

"I beg the king to move out of the palace and seek refuge in a higher place!"

Upon hearing this, the king stumbled back two steps, fell weakly on the throne, and stammered, "What?"

"Shouldn't they be crossing the river?"

The guard replied, "They didn't cross the river, they diverted the river water to the capital!"

As he was speaking, the sound of the flood was getting closer and closer.

The officials who had been self-satisfied just now looked outside the hall nervously, and suddenly, they opened their eyes wide.
