Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, An Chuxia didn't let it go, but what she said surprised the eight generals even more.

"There will be fewer soldiers outside Nanning City, that's because Lingnan Kingdom has been attacked."

"What???" Several generals couldn't help exclaiming.

They all looked at An Chuxia who said this in disbelief.

"When I came, His Royal Highness Taisun wanted to prevent Nanning City from being breached, and the people and soldiers were massacred or tortured.

He personally led the troops to attack Lingnan, so that the Lingnan army could return to the defense and rescue, so as to relieve the difficulties in Nanning City. "An Chuxia spoke sincerely, with deep worry on her face.

"You, you mean the grandson of the crown prince, in order to relieve the besieged city of Nanning, he personally led troops to attack Lingnan Kingdom."

An Chuxia nodded slightly.

There is no reason to take the moon and lead troops to go deep into Lingnan to fight, help Nanning City out of the predicament, and hide its merits and fame.

At least these generals must know who the people who rescued them said.

"This is too risky. His Royal Highness is the orthodox crown prince. One day he will return to the capital to get back what belongs to her. How can she be allowed to take risks." Several generals said with disapproval.

Although the generals were guarding the city at the border, they all got the news that the second queen was proclaiming the emperor, but there was no official imperial decree to announce it to the world.

Even if these generals were not as thoughtful as the civil servants, they would have guessed that the throne of the second queen might not come from the right path.

There was also no news of the death of Emperor Qing'an, which made more people unable to agree with the false emperor of the second emperor.

Unlike Lanyue, the crown prince, but after he was conferred the crown prince, the imperial court issued a formal official document, announcing it to everyone in the whole country.

Even the common people's seasonal agricultural tax was halved in the name of the crown prince, as a show of benevolence.

Because Lanyue was formally established as the next crown prince, no matter whether he was a civil official or a general, he would recognize Lanyue as the orthodox heir to the throne.

That's why these generals were so anxious when they heard that Lanyue, the prince, went deep into the enemy's army just to relieve the difficulties in Nanning City.

Xue Dagui stood up suddenly, "My lord, the last general will retire, I will go to prepare right now."

Xue Dagui, who wanted to understand, knew that His Royal Highness Taisun was leading troops to attack the Lingnan Kingdom, and realized the importance of their ambush to stop the attack and return to Lingnan for reinforcements.

Don't dare to delay for a moment, go out and prepare.

After Xue Dagui left, An Chuxia looked at Song Chunlin, "General Song, go to the barracks and pick fifty soldiers with relatively strong strength for me."

"Yes!" Song Chunlin didn't ask An Chuxia what he wanted these people to do, and went out to do so.

Satisfaction flashed in An Chuxia's eyes.

She then asked the remaining six generals present, "In addition to the five thousand soldiers that General Xue took away, there are also people who are inclined to Zhao Jing'an.

How many soldiers can listen to our orders. "

At this time, a middle-aged general surnamed Wang came out and cupped his hands and replied: "General Zhao took office not long ago, and most of the people who followed him were his former subordinates when he was General Anping.

Even after he becomes the commander-in-chief, there are generals who are close to him, and the relationship is not so close. I am afraid that something will happen, and those people will not be too close to him.

Now the number of troops retreating into Nanning City is estimated to be more than 5, and Lao Xue took away 5000 of his men.

Zhao Jing'an's previous position as General Anping was higher than ours, and he commanded 1 soldiers.

The remaining seven of our generals add up to more than 3 to less than [-] soldiers. "

An Chuxia nodded. This general who looks like a king has clearly explained the distribution of personnel in the army.

"Then tell me, if Zhao Jing'an rebels, will all the subordinates he led when he was General Anping rebel with him?"

Several generals were silent for a while, and one of the generals surnamed Li shook his head, "Probably not."

"How did you see it?!" An Chuxia asked.

"A lot of people follow Zhao Jing'an because they want to be promoted by him, and they don't have the heart of rebellion. They are all from Tangling.

Close relatives and old friends live here, and they may have some impure thoughts in order to climb up.

But if Zhao Jing'an really wanted to go out of the city and join the Lingnan Army, some people might not necessarily follow him. "

When An Chuxia heard the general's analysis, it coincided with what she thought, and her eyes showed agreement.

"General Li's analysis is very reasonable."

"In the past few days, I've heard people say that I can't tolerate Zhao Jing'an, the former commander in chief, and I'm already thinking about how to deal with him.

He also said that the official wanted to arrest and deal with him on the grounds that he condoned his subordinates to rob the people. "

"I'm afraid that General Zhao will listen to the rumors and do something, and I hope General Li can persuade him at that time."

General Li was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking it over, he nodded with a smile, "Yes! My lord."

An Chuxia has deep eyes and a smile on her lips. As for how the rumor came about, no one knows better than her.

"Now you all go back to eat! Only when you are full will you have the strength to do the next thing."

"Yes!" Several generals also knew that Zhao Jing'an had been acting abnormally these past few days, and that he might defect based on rumors.

Based on what they had known about Zhao Jing'an for so many years, this person was narrow-minded, insidious and cunning, and he must hate this Mrs. An who robbed him of his military power, so how could he catch him without a fight.

Based on the fact that Mrs. An had been assassinated several times in the barracks in the past few days, one could imagine how much Zhao Jing'an wanted her to die.

At this time, several generals thought about sending more than a dozen carts of grain to the barracks today, and asked curiously: "Where did your lord get so much grain?
Let me wait until I am trapped in Nanning City and starve to death. "

An Chuxia couldn't help but smile when he thought of that Uncle Wu who delivered the food with a painful face, which was comparable to her own shelter.

"Who is sending charcoal in a timely manner to supply food for the people in the city and the army? It's inconvenient to say now, but you will know later."

"It's a big deal, I'm really curious, who has such a large financial resources, can supply a city with food for about ten days.

Even if it is gruel, it will cost hundreds of thousands of catties of grain. "Several generals couldn't help sighing.

But An Chuxia didn't sigh like this, because she knew that the real financial resources of that shrewd and fox-like businessman were much more than that.

If the transportation is convenient, the food can be shipped out casually, and his wealth may be able to supply a city, and food for a year will not be a problem.

What's more, this is just the grain he secretly stored in several granaries in Nanning City.

This not-so-generous merchant was able to produce so much grain at once this time to supply a city.

I'm afraid it's more about gaining a good name for his son and paving the way for him to sit in that position in the future.

An Chuxia doesn't talk about this topic anymore, even if she doesn't talk about it, that Boss Su will reveal this matter cleverly in the future, put it on his son's head, and win a good reputation as a kind-hearted man.

"After eating, you, General Wang and General Li, take people, secretly organize all the people in the city, and send them to the north of the city, which is farthest from the city gate, to hide.

We will act tonight. No matter what, we can't sit still like this. Taking the initiative is the best defense. "
