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

Chapter 572 A Little Tenderness

On the way back, Shen Changgong met the Southern King Ma Ling who was carrying a big knife and walking back, so the two of them met up.

"Boy, how many did you kill this time?"

King Nan was covered in blood. He looked at Shen Changgong, who was also covered in blood, and asked with a sneer.

"Only about a hundred or eighty."

"You're such a boaster! I even claimed I killed over 200 people."

"I killed over five hundred."

"I killed over a thousand."

"I killed over 50,000 people with my own hands."

"Why aren't you dead tired, you son of a bitch?"

"Ha ha ha ha…!"

Shen Changgong and Ma Ling both burst into laughter.

It can be seen that both of them enjoyed this battle.

In one day, the three armies broke through the three lines of defense with great force, causing heavy casualties to the enemy, forcing them to retreat.

This first battle to unify the world can be said to be a great victory.

Because they had chased over mountains and hills, the horses were left on the other side of the mountain, and the two kings returned on foot.

Yu Ziling and Tu Queling also followed them, chatting in low voices about how many enemies they had killed and how brave they were.

After returning to Fengling Pass, it was also in a mess, with the corpses of the enemy soldiers all over the ground, as well as a small number of Yan army corpses. The Tianyu Army was cleaning up the battlefield.

This time the battle was too large-scale. It was a legion battle involving millions of people. During the battle and pursuit, nearly half of the enemy's troops were killed, and corpses were everywhere for dozens of miles.

The Yan army was also exhausted.

The Second King ordered the baggage train to move all the tents and other items to Yuling Pass and the surrounding areas, clear out an area, set up camp, light a fire, cook, and rest.

We will take a day off tomorrow to clean up the battlefield.

Arriving at the general's residence, all the generals sat down exhausted, drank tea, and reported on the day's kills and casualties of each legion.

After a brief report, Shen Changgong said,

"Everyone is tired. Let's go back and eat and rest. Tomorrow we will clean up the battlefield and scout the enemy situation. Then we will meet again to formulate tactics."

"As ordered!"

The generals stood up and walked out.

Including fish purple water chestnut.

"Marshal Yu, please stay. I will hold a private meeting with you."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ziling's face suddenly turned dark and she stopped.

The other generals all smiled ambiguously and left arm in arm.

After entering the general's bedroom, Yu Ziling's maids and guards also rushed over, busy helping her and Shen Changgong take off their armor, clean their armor, boil water for bathing, and cook.

Both of them were tired after a day of work and sat in their chairs, speechless for a while.

After a moment, Yu Ziling said,

"Tell me, what kind of meeting do you want to have with me?"

"Did you enjoy the fight today?"

Shen Changgong took Yu Ziling's hand, placed it in his palm, and asked with a smile.

"It's okay. I've always wanted to fight on the battlefield and kill the enemy. This time, my wish has finally been fulfilled.

You are quite sensible and did not stop me this time. I am very satisfied and will reward you with two taels of silver tomorrow."

Yu Ziling's arrogant look with her nose turned up in the air made Shen Changgong laugh. He pinched her nose and said,

"Forget about the two taels of silver. Can you replace it with some other reward?"

"What reward do you want, stinky man?"

Yu Ziling leaned sideways, supported her chin with one hand, and looked at Shen Changgong with a playful look.

The current Queen Yu is no longer the virgin who was just beginning to fall in love. After knowing Prince Shen for a year, she has become an experienced person and is proficient in all kinds of skills.

In addition, Queen Yu was in a good mood today, so she dared to tease Shen Changgong.

Shen Changgong also smiled mischievously and said,

"That depends on your Majesty's sincerity. What do you want to give?"

"Well... then I will reward you with this opportunity to give me a bath."

"Okay, thank you for your reward, Your Majesty. I will do my best to serve you."

"Humph."

Yu Ziling raised her nose, her eyes full of pride.

The cute little appearance made Shen Changgong's heart flutter, and he hugged her and started to bite her.

After a while, the food was ready and the bath water was boiled.

The maids came in with the food, put everything away, and then left.

After dinner, Shen Changgong and the Queen undressed and got into the bathtub together.

"Mm, it feels good. It feels good to wash off the blood and all the makeup."

Yu Ziling leaned on Shen Changgong, gently splashing water and scrubbing his body.

Prince Shen also tried his best to help her, washing her body with his hands.

Yu Ziling closed her eyes, enjoying the extreme comfort, but her mind was still on the upcoming battle.

"Now the enemy has completely retreated to Weiyang Mountain. They left in such a hurry that they didn't take any food or fodder with them. I don't think there's any water source on Weiyang Mountain, right?

I think we should send troops to surround the mountain early tomorrow morning, and then send a small number of soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

The enemy won't be able to hold out for long without water or food.

We don't need to attack the mountain by force, which can reduce casualties.

If the enemy commander reacts, he will immediately lead his troops south and enter the city to defend.

By then, with the help of the civilians and able-bodied men, it will be difficult for us to defeat them."

Shen Changgong hugged her from behind, feeling the softness of his palms while thinking,

"But if this happens, the war will be at a stalemate. Our goal is to quickly destroy Wei, then repel the coalition forces of Qian and Chu. After consolidating Wei territory, we will immediately march west to support Guan Shouchang and help him destroy Qin.

Although there was no food or water on the mountain, there was lush grass and trees, so they could survive for a long time by eating grass roots and tree bark.

If it takes ten days or half a month, by the time we reach Luoyang, the 400,000 central troops of Chu will probably have arrived there as well.

Add to that the local troops temporarily recruited by the Emperor of Wei, and then it will be another protracted tug-of-war.

We must quickly destroy this main force, then cross the Luo River and capture Luoyang, otherwise the situation will be disastrous."

Yu Ziling thought for a moment and said,

“But if we storm, with over 200,000 people defending a mountain, it’s so densely packed with troops that it’s impossible to fight.

Every step forward would result in heavy casualties.

Even if we use artillery bombardment, how many shells would it take to raze a mountain to the ground?

How to fight the next battle?

You have to think of a way to quickly eliminate the enemy, reduce the consumption of supplies, and reduce our casualties.

Our supply lines are too long, and every time we use them, they become less and less, making it very difficult to fight."

Shen Changgong thought carefully, with his eyes closed, his mind full of the lush mountain.

He didn't even notice that a small hand was already getting restless on his body.

Yu Ziling in front of him quietly moved her butt and did something naughty...

A sense of comfort came straight to the soul, and Shen Changgong suddenly had an idea and said,

"I figured out a way."

"Ah! What...what's your plan? Have you figured out how to get rid of the Wei army?"
