Chang'an is good

Yuan Xiang slapped himself wildly in his heart a few times before he was able to say: "Since Mrs. Chang is concerned, this subordinate will send someone to contact the brothers in Luoyang City and ask them if they have any news about the governor."

Chang Suining nodded.

As soon as Yuan Xiang stepped back, Xiao Min walked up.

After the two chatted as usual and finished their respective affairs, Commander Xiao looked at the soldiers who were practicing on the deck not far away, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Can Xiao ask Madam Chang a question?"

Chang Suining gave a "hmm" and said, "Indeed not."

Coach Xiao: "What?"

Chang Suining: "Without eyeliner, I did deceive Coach Xiao back then."

"..." Coach Xiao's expression changed for a while. Although he didn't intend to ask this question, he was still afraid after hearing Chang Sui Ning's confession.

Fortunately, Xu Zhengye really left Jiangdu and attacked here. If Xu Zhengye hadn't come, but he and Chang Suining secretly led troops out of Huainan Road, once Huainan Road fell due to the lack of troops, it would be The great crime of beheading.

Seeing his reaction, Chang Suining couldn't help asking: "Didn't General Xiao want to ask this?"

"No..." Xiao Min's expression was a bit complicated: "Before coming here, Xiao also faintly noticed something."

After all, when Mrs. Chang talked about the "eyeliner" at that time, she seemed too impromptu, as if she was throwing out perfunctory words on the spot to stop his mouth and calm his heart...

The impromptu acting that General Chang was forced to echo was really not too brilliant.

Chang Suining was amazed: "General Xiao really has extraordinary insight."

Facing the amazement and admiration in the girl's eyes, Xiao Min coughed lightly, almost choking on his own saliva.

He wanted to say "I can't", but he heard her praise with extra seriousness: "The courage is also very comparable to others."

Faced with this compliment, Xiao Min is not humble, he admits that he is a bit courageous and has the ability to know people, especially the latter.

Chang Suining smiled with him: "Thank you General Xiao for trusting me, knowing that my words are deceitful, and willing to take the risk and lead the troops out of Huainan Road with me."

"It's because of what Mrs. Chang has done in the past, which is worthy of Xiao's trust and risk." Xiao Min said: "And since General Chang has approved and approved it, how can Xiao have any reason to question it?"

General Chang has won more battles than he beat his son at home.

In front of General Chang, he is a younger brother, no, he is the younger brother of younger brothers, referred to as the younger brother of younger brothers.

General Xiao believes that as long as he always recognizes the fact that he is the younger brother among younger brothers, and keeps this awareness, he will not make big mistakes. This is the first-class life experience he has accumulated.

If he followed in the footsteps of his predecessors, but still made a big mistake and capsized the ship, that would be bad luck, and there is no way around it, and thinking about it, if he did it himself, maybe the result would only be worse?
General Xiao, who is good at introspection, never tries to question and complain about those who are stronger than himself.

Facts have proved that sincerity is very useful, it is so useful that Chang Sui Ning has a rare conscience: "But I still have to apologize to General Xiao, it is always wrong to lie."

"But hasn't Mrs. Chang already given Xiao a huge 'amendment'?" Xiao Min said, pointing to the south with a smile.

That was the direction of Xu Zhengye's army.

Nowadays, there are countless voices of accusation outside, and the court is also holding them accountable, blaming Xu Zhengye for leaving Jiangdu and attacking Luoyang on them.

But it is impossible to imagine those voices of accountability. They arrived in Bianshui secretly ten days ago, and have been waiting here for Xu Zhengye for a long time.

Chasing after him in a hurry was just an illusion to confuse Xu Zhengye and everyone else.

It is false to pursue in embarrassment, but it is true to invite you into the urn.

Now, in this place where Luoyang's safety was at stake, they were the ones who took the lead, not Xu Zhengye.

"This battle is still undecided, so it can't be used as an apology." Chang Sui Ning said.

Xiao Min smiled and said, "Then we'll wait until this battle is won."

"Okay." Chang Suining also smiled: "Then I have to fight hard to win this battle."

He asked again: "So, what question does General Xiao want to ask me?"

"Xiao wants to ask... General Chang and Mrs. Chang ignored the court's repeated urging and insisted on refusing to start a war in Jiangdu, just to wait for Xu Zhengye to come here?"

"Yes."

"Can Xiao ask the reason for doing this?"

Xiao Min can probably guess some, but at this moment he wants to hear the complete intention and layout, even if it is just to understand the way of combat, to discuss and learn.

"There are two reasons." Chang Suining leaned on the fence with both hands, looked at the deepening twilight, and the soldiers who had finished their drills: "Yangzhou and Jiangning have natural barriers as barriers, and our numbers are not enough to ensure victory. , if you want to attack by force, it may not be able to shake Xu Zhengye's foundation in a year or so."

"If you can't attack for a long time, the face of the court will inevitably be frustrated, which will only fuel the arrogance of the Xu family's chaotic army, and those officials who are firmly at the top of the court don't bother to listen to explanations. They will only think that the army has spent a huge amount of money and food. It is really a big mistake to take it back to Jiangdu late and hurt the face of the court."

Xiao Min frowned slightly when he heard this, he knew it was the truth.

Especially now that the national treasury is empty, those officials have been forced to donate their family money to support the war, and those who spent money naturally feel that they have more confidence to question them.

"What's more, if we ignore natural dangers and attack for a while, at least 17% of our soldiers will be killed or injured." Chang Suining said: "There are [-] soldiers, [-]% means [-] lives."

She looked at the soldiers who returned to the cabin one after another after the drill, and said: "As soldiers, they can die, but they must not die in vain, and it is best not to die."

They were not her soldiers, they belonged to the imperial court and the Empress, but now that she was their head coach, she couldn't take their lives to fight a war that was "not worthwhile".

Xiao Min was stunned for a moment.

He thought about many reasons why the Chang family's father and daughter planned this way, and guessed all the military strategies he could think of, but all the unpredictable military tactics suddenly became pale in front of this sentence at this moment—— You can die, but you can't die in vain. It's better not to die.

"Once this battle starts, there is no possibility for both sides to stop easily. It will be difficult for Xu Zhengye to leave Jiangdu at that time, so we must not start fighting before." Chang Suining continued: "This place is more suitable for fighting than Jiangdu. It’s a quick win, and it can greatly improve our chances of winning.”

She said: "Although we can't compare with the elite sailors, we have never slackened in practicing water warfare these days. No matter what, we are better than the army temporarily recruited under Xu Zhengye's command."

"Yes." Xiao Min said: "Thanks to Mrs. Chang's foresight, she stepped up to practice water warfare before the Shangyuan Festival."

He also looked at those soldiers, every soldier was practicing hard every day.

As for the river channel that is easy to hide traces like here, Mrs. Chang has chosen no less than ten places.

Therefore, their warships are far more than the dozens of nearby ones, but scattered.

In addition, they have sentries on all main roads, and have been closely monitoring the movement of various river sections.

In other words, this seemingly calm Bian Shui is actually under their control all the time.

"In addition to combat capabilities, we have the upper hand, and we are also able to minimize casualties by using strange and cunning tactics." Chang Suining looked at the river: "One more thing, it is also very convenient..."

Xiao Min listened very carefully the whole time. Hearing her words now, he couldn't help but look at her, not hiding the look in his eyes asking for advice.

"After killing the enemy, just throw the body into the water, so as not to have to clean up the battlefield." Chang Suining said, "It's just used to feed the fish. The fish in Bianshui are going to eat meat for the Chinese New Year this time."

Knowing that she said this deliberately to ease her mood, Xiao Min was silent for a moment before nodding: "...Yes, the whole fish in the Bian River and their descendants should all be grateful for Mrs. Chang's kindness."

"Well, it can be offset by the crime of killing." Chang Suining let go of the hand holding the fence, and turned back to the cabin: "Okay, it's time to get ready for bed."

In order to hide their tracks, they seldom lighted lights at night. Except for night patrols, everything had to be done during the day, so they rested very early.

When the night was floating above the water, the world fell into a deep sleep, and there was no trace of being disturbed by human smoke.

……

The sky cleared for three consecutive days, and Xu Zhengye finally led his army to move on.

They were already able to leave, which meant that the pursuers behind them had resumed their journey again, so there was no delay.

During the more than ten days when he was trapped by the heavy rain, Xu Zhengye, while anxious, had repeatedly discussed the next marching route with his staff, and finally decided to attack Bianzhou by water.

This is the fastest, most feasible, and least resistance shortcut.

The army's lack of experience in water warfare cannot be ignored, but they have recruited troops from Yangzhou and Jiangning, and many of them are good at water warfare. Before deciding to come to Luoyang, Xu Zhengye also asked them to practice the army.

Moreover, they have the most superior warships and weapons in Jiangning, far better than Bianzhou.

There are only tens of thousands of Bianzhou defenders, even if they are dispatched to intercept them on the waterway, there is nothing to fear.

As for the Xuance Army outside Luoyang City...

No matter how intimidating Xuan Ce's army is, as far as Xu Zhengye is concerned, since he chose to come to Luoyang, he would not be so naive as to think that he could take Luoyang into his pocket without much effort.

What he did was the most risky thing in the world, how could he retreat just because there was Xuan Ce's army ahead?If you see the danger in this way, you will retreat, and what kind of soldiers are still raised, just go back to the countryside as soon as possible to pick up dung.

Since ancient times, who has achieved great achievements, who has not fought in a sea of ​​blood one after another?
What's more, there are still pursuers in the rear, and it is not so easy to retreat.

And if he faced the [-] Xuan Ce army and fled without fighting, he would become the laughing stock of the world.

And from Xu Zhengye's point of view, even if it is against the Xuance army, it is not certain whether it will win or lose.

As far as he knew, it was Li Xian who led the Xuan Ce army this time. Xu Zhengye was not familiar with this man, and temporarily had reservations about his ability to lead the army, but what was certain was that this man was definitely not as good as Cui Jing.

And the Tuoshi clan in Luoyang City have been secretly in touch with him, and they can cooperate with him internally and externally when necessary...

Therefore, the immediate plan is to quickly capture Bianzhou, use Bianzhou as a camp, and then plan to take Luoyang!

Xu Zhengye stepped onto the board, his scarlet cloak fluttering in the wind.

After traveling on the waterway for two days, Xu Zhengye received a secret letter from Luoyang City, saying that Li Xian had no intention of sending troops to Bianzhou, and from the current point of view, his intention was to stick to Luoyang.

Xu Zhengye laughed: "It seems like a rat who looks forward and backward!"

Some aides also made fun of him: "This Korean man, is he also like Li Yi?"

"I don't care whether he is capable or not, what is his intention on earth—" Xu Zhengye looked forward, his eyes were filled with the look of certainty: "If he doesn't come, then I will accept Bianzhou first."

Rows of warships slowly move forward on the water, like swords splitting waterways, and the battle flags with the word "Xu" fluttering in the wind, with great momentum.

……

"……Not coming?!"

Hu Lin, the governor of Bianzhou, heard the story from Luoyang, and his face turned pale for a while.

Xu Zhengye has led his army to Bianshui and is attacking Bianzhou!

The general Li Xian was unwilling to send troops to support Bianzhou. The reason was that they were ordered to guard Luoyang tightly to keep Luoyang safe. When the battle situation was unclear, they were not allowed to leave without authorization.

This statement is certainly not wrong.

It is rumored that there is Xu Zhengye's internal response in Luoyang City, the situation is unpredictable, so don't be careless.

But the city of Luoyang cannot be lost, so isn't their Bianzhou not worth mentioning?

Their soldiers are also living lives, and the people in their city are also the people of Dasheng!
Hearing the anger of the officials below, Hu Lin raised his hand to stop them from continuing.

It is useless to say more at this moment.

"Master Li from the capital really doesn't like our little Bianzhou!"

"If you don't come, you won't come. I really think I'm something!" A general stood up and said angrily with red eyes: "Without them, I can still defend Bianzhou!"

"Go, follow me to order troops to kill the enemy!"

Seeing his subordinates leaving in a huff, Hu Lin clenched his fists and closed his eyes. For a moment, he suppressed the grief, anger and unwillingness in his heart.

The holy order to let them "die" to guard Bianzhou is the order of the emperor, and the courtiers should obey it!
After a while, Hu Lin also got up, and immediately made people put on armor and sword for himself.

When he was about to lead people out of the governor's mansion, he suddenly heard the cry of a girl behind him.

"Father, where are you going?"

Hu Lin immediately stopped. This is his youngest daughter, and he loves her the most. No matter how busy he is every day, he always wants to give her a hug.

But at this moment he didn't even dare to look back.

He was afraid that once he turned his head, his breath would be dissipated, making him lose the courage to go out again, and thus become a deserter who resisted the order.

"Seventh Sister is not afraid, Father will be back soon..."

Hu Lin's eldest daughter chased after her, hugged her crying younger sister, and comforted her softly.

However, when she looked at her father's back, her eyes were filled with tears of anxiety, she bit her lips tightly and dared not let them fall.

Hu Lin suppressed the tears from the corners of his eyes, resolutely crossed the threshold, got on his horse and left.

……

"Refused to send troops?"

Chang Suining frowned slightly, Li Xian's appearance as a teenager flashed in her eyes, she tried to get the impression of Li Xian from her memories, but there were too few.

Although they were cousins ​​in the past, they didn't have much contact with each other.

But she can be sure that this person is definitely not Li Yi's generation.

At this juncture, the Ming Dynasty will not hand over the safety of Luoyang to useless people.

If you are not a timid and useless person, if you refuse to send troops to assist Bianzhou at this time, then you have ulterior motives.

"Yes, regarding the matter of Bianzhou, it is said that this person is using an excuse to wait for the governor to come, or to wait for the sage to show him..." Yuan Xiang mentioned the word "supervisor", and his eyes were full of worry at the moment.

At this point, they can already conclude that the governor encountered an accident on the way to Luoyang.

As for the specific accident, it is still uncertain now, but when thinking of the worst outcome, Yuan Xiang felt out of breath, with unprecedented panic and uneasiness in his heart.

If the governor is safe, it is said that a letter will be sent to him...

"Marching outside, he is the commander-in-chief at the moment, so he has the right to take advantage of it. If you ask the saint for everything, what do you want him to do?" Chang Suining's tone became cold: "He wants to be a fisherman in the future. Bianzhou's blood, come to give yourself a sure chance of winning."

The other party may not see Bianzhou fall, but with such an attitude, even if they make a move, they will wait until Bianzhou is bloody and invincible, and they will both lose and lose with Xu Jun, and then come forward to "turn the tide".

"The fact of this person's behavior is vicious." Yuan Xiang asked Chang Suining for instructions: "Do you want my subordinates to send a letter to the brothers in Luoyang City, asking them to send troops? My subordinates remember that Mrs. Chang has the bronze talisman of the great governor here." -"

"No, if you act in disobedience to the commander's order, you will be used as a fuss afterwards."

Chang Sui Ning said: "Besides, how can I let this person take advantage and credit for nothing."

At first when she heard that Xuan Ce Army came to Luoyang, although she felt it was unnecessary, but Xuan Ce Army was her own child after all, and she didn't mind giving half of the credit to them.

But now it seems that this Li Xian does not have such a blessing.

Does Bianzhou really need Li Xian to protect him?

If she and Xiao Min are not here today, it may be necessary.

But at this moment, she doesn't need and will not allow a vicious villain to share the credit that belongs to her and her people.

She will keep Bianzhou well.

In Chang Suining's own opinion, those voices asking for guilt outside, she was not wronged.

Xu Zhengye was indeed provoked here by her, so she has the responsibility to protect Bianzhou and Luoyang. If there is a death or injury in Bianzhou this time, it is all her fault and guilt.

But since she dared to lure the jackal here, she was sure to kill the jackal, and would not give the jackal a chance to hurt people.

Therefore, she is bound to guard this place.

This time, she will call Xu Zhengye back and forth.

As for Li Xian who only wanted to be a fisherman——

"Since he likes to wait so much, let him wait."

Chang Suining walked down from the upstairs boat, hurried to see Xiao Min, and said to Yuan Xiang: "Also, send more people to find out the whereabouts of Chief Cui as soon as possible."

Now, she has changed from being a little worried about Cui Jing to being very worried about Cui Jing.

No one wants to see their friends have an accident, especially a very important, very important friend.

Aside from the word "best friend", Cui Jing is also an extremely rare military general, and there is only one in a hundred years in this world. When the world is in turmoil, Dasheng must not lose Cui Jing again.

She also doesn't want to lose Cui Jing, whether as a friend or otherwise.

Now, she doesn't need him to do anything for her, she just needs him to come to see her safely.
