Biography of Qingwu

Chapter 75
The next day, the sun came in through the window and shone on Chen Qingwu's face. She turned over impatiently, and continued to sleep with the quilt wrapped around her.

The door was knocked again. This was the third time Gao Zhan came to knock on the door. Gao Zhan shouted outside the door: "Qingwu! Qingwu!"

Chen Qingwu was a little confused at the moment. He vaguely heard someone calling her, but without opening his eyes, he said impatiently, "Who, what are you doing?"

Gao Zhan also ignored the rules of not trespassing in a woman's boudoir, and pushed the door in. A crossbar was inserted inside. Gao Zhan did not stop doing anything, pulled out the sword from his waist, inserted it into the gap, and pushed the crossbar on the door. pick apart.

Chen Qingwu shuddered when he heard the sound of a sharp knife unsheathing, and immediately woke up. She grew up in the frontier for many years, and she was very sensitive to this sound. When Gao Zhan opened the door and came in, she had already drawn the sword in front of the bed.

Seeing that it was Gao Zhan who came, she breathed a sigh of relief, put down her sword and said, "It's you! Why did you force your way in!"

Gao Zhan didn't have time to talk to her, so he stepped forward and tied her bag on the table, and said while he was busy: "I have called you three times, and I received an urgent report before I arrived at Maoshi today. Hou's army is assembled in Jingcheng, Lianghou sent people to let us go there to help as soon as possible, now everyone has assembled, and we are waiting for you!"

While speaking, the luggage was fastened, and Gao Zhan took her out.

Chen Qingwu's head was gradually clear at this time, rubbed his eyes, and said: "If you can pinch and count, how does he know that we are going to attack Jingcheng?"

"Don't think about it, let's go!" Gao Zhan dragged her out with her bag on his back, without even closing the door.

Chen Qingwu broke free from him: "Armor! I'm not wearing any armor!"

"Oh, it's too late, wait until the next station to wear it!" Gao Zhan was anxious, dragging her to trot all the way.

Fortunately, the city lord's mansion was built next to the city gate, and you can see the city gate after running for a while after leaving the mansion. Gao Zhan didn't lie when he went to see it. There were a lot more than when he came. King Anjing was at the front, and a dozen forwards around him rode behind him, and they had been waiting for a long time.

"Sorry, I'm late..." Chen Qingwu tiptoed over, feeling ashamed. As the leader of an army, he was late for sleeping. He rode on an empty horse beside Jiang Mingyuan, and Gao Zhan tied his bags. Putting on the saddle, he joined the team.

"Why didn't you blow the assembly call?" Chen Qingwu asked Jiang Mingyuan who was on the side.

Jiang Mingyuan was still angry with her, and didn't want to answer her at all, so he took the lead and left in the dust.

King Anjing looked over with some dissatisfaction, and Chen Qingwu explained awkwardly: "He went to explore the way."

King Anjing frowned and shouted loudly: "Let's go to Jingcheng!"

This time the whole army was advancing at full speed, and the supply of food and grass was postponed. There was nothing to say along the way, and there was no time to rest. Chen Qingwu slowed down and looked back at the soldiers following him. They were getting more and more tired.

Not right.

This feeling passed by in a flash, but Chen Qingwu still grasped it.

He rode his horse to follow, ran to King Anjing, and shouted loudly, "Stop!"

King Anjing stopped the horse, and the soldiers behind him also had a little time to breathe.

"You can't run like this, the soldiers are getting more and more tired!" Chen Qingwu said.

King Anjing raised his left hand, made a stop gesture, and shouted: "Repair on the spot!"

Sitting down behind her, she gulped down water, and the water flowed down from the corner of her mouth, mixing with the sweat on her neck.

Chen Qingwu looked at the soldiers behind him repairing, and said to King Anjing, "Something is wrong."

"What's wrong, Liang Hou wrote a letter saying that Jingcheng's defenses have been strengthened, and he saw Wei Guohou with his own eyes. Wei Guohou is not a person who sticks to the rules. It is not his style to blindly defend. I am afraid he will take the initiative to attack." After getting off the horse, he took a sip of the water Chen Ling handed over to him.

"The Marquis of Wei's [-] soldiers and horses, plus Jingcheng's men and horses, can wipe out all the people led by Liang Hou in an instant. Where did Liang Hou get the time to send us a message?" Chen Qingwu also dismounted, hungry, Taking advantage of this time, he took out dry food from his bag and took a bite.

King Anjing pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because the Marquis of Wei didn't have all the troops, or maybe some of them went to Xiang'an?"

"No, according to the detailed report of Wei Guohou I read yesterday, Wei Guohou is a person who doesn't like petty gains. I guess, it is not easy for him to take down the troops brought by Liang Hou. Not very attractive." Chen Qingwu shook his head.

"You mean, Marquis Wei Guo is inviting you into the urn?" Gao Zhan interrupted after listening for a while.

Chen Qingwu nodded and said, "It's very possible, but it's also possible that part of the team will go to Xiang'an, and I'm not sure."

"Chen Ling, bring the map." King Anjing shouted

Chen Ling responded with a map and unfolded it on the spot. Chen Qingwu squatted down to look at it, and said, "Jinyang, Sichuan and Chongqing have not sent reinforcements at all. It seems that Marquis Wei has seen through our plan of disturbance and completely ignored it. , We know the importance of Xiang'an and Jingcheng, and he also knows, so, Jingcheng and Xiang'an, he must have sent troops to wait for us to go there."

"Then what should we do? In this way, both Xiang'an and Jingcheng cannot be attacked?" Gao Zhan asked.

Chen Qingwu ignored him, looked up at King Anjing, and asked solemnly, "Do we have to take down Jingcheng and Xiang'an now?"

"Yes, these two cities are too important. As long as we take these two cities, Zhao Huaining will be exhausted." King Anjing nodded, his determination to win these two cities is absolutely irreversible.

Chen Qingwu said: "I advise you not to act too hastily, Wei Guohou is much smarter than I imagined, his daughter is married to Zhao Huaining, he will definitely do everything possible to keep these two cities, no matter how we attack now , We cannot make up for the gap in numbers, and we have no chance of winning."

When King Anjing heard this, he was a little annoyed: "You shouldn't have left people to guard the city that you've already captured. If you bring them all, you'll be able to confront the Marquis of Wei."

"The city must be guarded by people, that is our way of retreat, otherwise what is the difference between us and the bandits in the mountains?" Chen Qingwu heard the blame in his words, it was her idea to keep troops to guard.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Qingwu didn't even give him face, and even refused to use a tactful tone, and refuted him loudly. Even though he liked her a little in his heart, he was tired of her being so ignorant.

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Gao Zhan tried to persuade him, "Now is not the time to quarrel. Qingwu, please say something useful."

King Anjing restrained his emotions and said, "Then what can you do?"

Seeing that his tone softened, Chen Qingwu was a little proud, but she was not being unreasonable, so she softened her tone a lot and said, "Let Liang Hou and Xu Hou withdraw their troops."

"What?!" King Anjing became anxious before he finished listening.

Chen Qingwu ignored him and continued: "Withdraw the troops to attack Qingli and Baicheng. In short, we will fight everywhere between Xiang'an and Jingcheng. Our people should be scattered. It is best to have a team of 3 people. I don't believe it. , the Marquis of the State of Wei can stand still!"
