Brother Wanfu

Chapter 89 Abacus
War is imminent.

In the evening of the same day, the imperial army raided the northern edge of the Suzheng army.

Qin Shen fought overnight.

Sun Wenjing still had lingering fears, but fortunately they went and returned quickly according to the original plan, otherwise they might encounter unexpected things.

The people did not return to the camp in Yanzhou City, and simply stationed here temporarily.

The new general Qian Feng sent by the imperial court was indeed not the old general Zhang. Not only did he sneak attack at night, he even opened fire on the Suzheng army in four places at the same time.

Fortunately, Qin Shen sent scouts to report their previous actions of dispatching troops and generals. This time, there were smoldering wars everywhere, and the Suzheng Army was able to deal with it appropriately.

This battle lasted from midnight to noon of the second day. Qin Tian almost stayed up all night. This was the first battle she fought after she came to the Suzheng Army. Sweat, and the good news came in the next noon.

The imperial court failed to take an inch of land from the Suzheng army, and the soldiers retreated like a tide.

When Qin Tian heard it, he couldn't help clasping his palms together and recited the Buddha's name.

However, although the imperial court failed to repel the Suzheng army, it burned down a granary on the border of the Suzheng army.

The border of Yanzhou was washed away by the flood this year, and the food output was greatly reduced. The food and grass of the Suzheng army had always been tight. It was Qin Guanzhong who secretly supported some, and bought some from the merchants one after another until Qin Shen sent out a soldier. Only after taking down the Daming Mansion, the matter of food and grass can be eased.

But right now a granary was burned, and Sun Wenjingfu heard that the road was not good.

"The imperial court will definitely continue to fight. It is hard to say that the remaining food will survive the twelfth lunar month."

Once the food and grass were cut off, the Suzheng army was defeated without a fight.

"For the current plan, as agreed by the three armies, taking Xuzhou Mansion as soon as possible is the best way."

The boundary of Xuzhou has always been an important place for the imperial court to garrison troops, and there will never be a shortage of food and grass. Moreover, the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou this year are much better than Yanzhou.

Moreover, the imperial court would not have thought that Suzheng's army, who intended to go northward, would suddenly turn around and enter Xuzhou City, south of the palace.

The people discussed the matter again.

At the place where the two armies were fighting, the general Qian Feng attacked the Suzheng army for three consecutive days like a new official took office, but was blocked by Qin Shen's army.

Both armies were exhausted, especially the foreign soldiers who had just been transferred by the imperial army, it was difficult for them to adapt to such a fierce battle, and many of them showed signs of acclimatization. General Qian Feng had no choice but to withdraw his troops for rectification Fearing that Su's army would counterattack, more soldiers were deployed to guard and suppress.

Qin Shenguan's style of play is the one used by the frontier to deal with foreigners, but this set is not necessary for the Suzheng army, and the "weakness" of the Suzheng army that Qian Feng is trying to attack is also different from the previous one. The imperial army led by General Zhang Lao has practiced repeatedly.

Qian Feng couldn't find a way to defeat Su Zhengjun for a while, but Qin Shen saw him clearly, adjusted the affairs in the army, and took some time to meet Sun Wenjing.

As soon as Sun Wenjing mentioned the matter of Xuzhou, Qin Shen nodded.

"Taking Xuzhou can indeed alleviate the food shortage, but the suppressing army led by Qian Feng cannot retreat. If the Suzheng army wants to attack Xuzhou Prefecture under such circumstances, it must fully assist the other two armies. Otherwise, we will suffer from the enemy. gone."

If Xuzhou cannot be captured smoothly, Yanzhou will be invaded by the imperial army from the north instead, and the Suzheng army will be in danger.

Of course Sun Wenjing was aware of the danger, but this was a necessary step. It was impossible for the Suzheng army to stand in Yanzhou for a long time, and sooner or later it would be swallowed up by the imperial court, and it would have to expand continuously, and then go north to destroy the imperial court. Just turn the whole thing over.

"I will set up a time with the leaders of the Guangsu and Nancheng armies as soon as possible. Once the time is set, the three armies will send people to the villa, and the general will immediately free up his hands to fight the quick battle in the south. "

Qin Shen nodded.

"I know."

The war is imminent, and he has to leave again while speaking.

As soon as the man walked quickly to the tent, he saw the little girl who probably heard about his coming, walked over quickly, seemed to see that he was about to leave, and trotted forward again.

"The general is leaving now?"

In front of everyone, Qin Shen saluted the princess.

She didn't like him saluting her, and her slender eyebrows were frowned, like ripples formed by the spring breeze floating on the water.

Qin Shen's heart fluttered, he looked at her, and said softly, "An Xin is here, I am always outside."

These words made Qin Tian's heart feel a little sour. The safety of her princess is for him to protect with his life.
But why is he doing this for her?
Is it because she is a princess, or because she was a younger sister, or, is there anything else?
She didn't ask, but Qin Shen saw Wei You behind her.

"Protect the princess."

"Yes!"

After Qin Shen finished speaking, he took one last look at her.

"gone."

Together with the others, Qin Tian sent him out of the camp.

Sun Wenjing invited Zhang Daochang to discuss how to finalize the time to attack Xuzhou with the two armies of Guangsu.

This matter has nothing to do with the princess. Wei You originally wanted to mention to the young master what happened to the cook Juanzi at the Secret Talk Villa, but his own young master really had no time, and the princess didn't have to go there again, so Wei You didn't. Pay attention to this.

Within a few days, Sun Wenjing made an appointment with the two armies.

Among them, the Guangsu Army agreed as soon as they heard Sun Wenjing's proposal. The Nancheng Army did not lack food and grass, and there was no disturbance from the court for a while, so they were not in a hurry. However, the leader Jiang Shan was a straightforward warrior and would not respond. He refused to do what he wanted to do, so he overcame all opinions and agreed to Sun Wenjing.

After five days, the three parties will each send "hostages" to the Secret Talk Villa to restrain each other.

Qin Tian was deeply glad that he didn't have to go, and even brought the Suzheng army to prepare the cook, and kept Juanzi from it.

Juanzi didn't dare to disturb the princess, but went outside the princess's tent and kowtowed three times.

Qin Tian didn't even know about it, and it was Su Ye who told her when the guards mentioned it.

Within these five days, the Suzheng army raided the imperial army twice in a row. For the first time, it severely damaged a camp under the imperial army. An elite force.

However, Suzheng's army had already made preparations, which instead attracted Qian Feng to go deep into the encircled area. In this way, part of the imperial army that had penetrated was also hit hard by the Suzheng army.

In this battle, the Suzheng army did not lose a single soldier, and beat the imperial army to pieces.

General Qian Feng, who hadn't really taken this rebel local rebel army seriously before, couldn't help being extremely vigilant, and became obviously cautious in his actions for a while.

This is exactly what Qin Shen wanted.

Qin Shen had two sides. It would be great if he could capture Qian Feng directly at that time. Even if Qian Feng escaped temporarily, it would make him cautious, and he would not dare to move the Suzheng army again in a short time.

And this time was exactly the time for Qin Shen to turn south and take Xuzhou.

As "hostages", Mr. He and Zhang Shouyuan left the barracks, and the news that Zhu Hanchun, the only son of Zhu Siwei of the Guangsu Army, and Jiang Mu, the youngest son of Jiang Shan of the Nancheng Army, had arrived at the Mitan Villa also reached the Suzheng Army. place.

After Qin Shen got the news, he calmed down and left the powerful Jin Yao under his tent to continue guarding the front line with the imperial army in the north. He sent troops overnight, crossed Nansi Lake, and headed straight for Xuzhou City.

The army is like an arrow leaving the string, and Qin Shen is that sharp arrow with a cold light.

Qin Tian couldn't help with the matter of marching and fighting. He could only listen to Sun Wenjing talk about the battle reports outside.

If the Suzheng Army wants to fight the battle of Xuzhou quickly, the Suzheng Army's sudden dispatch of troops is one aspect, and on the other hand, the other two armies must also send troops to contain them, so that Qin Shen can win the battle quickly before ensuring that he is caught between two sides. .

Qian Feng, the court general in the north, obviously hadn't reacted yet, but at this moment, only one of the two armies that were supposed to send troops to help sent troops.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shan, who did not want to send troops before, sent troops to restrain him as promised, but Zhu Siwei, who had agreed early, stood still and sent another letter to Sun Wenjing.

When Sun Wenjing arrived outside Qin Tian's camp, the little girl was sitting at the desk copying scriptures.

Right now, the only thing people outside the battlefield can do is pray.

Qin Tian was very surprised when he heard that Mr. Sun was coming, and quickly invited him into the tent.

She glanced briefly, and saw the anxiety on Sun Wenjing's face.

"Why, sir? Is something wrong?"

The war has already started, and Sun Wenjing dare not delay at this time.

"The Guangsu Army did not send troops in time to contain our army, and the general's quick attack on Xuzhou added variables to the battle."

Qin Tian was taken aback, "How could this be?"

Sun Wenjing explained with an ugly face, "Na Guangsu Jundao was kidnapped by the imperial army recently. It is too risky to send troops to contain the imperial army for the Suzheng army. He said that he had already sent his only son to the spy villa, and he had to fulfill the contract. Yes, but considering that the people Suzheng Army and Nancheng Army sent as "hostages" are not as important as his only son, especially since we only sent the old man there, they thought our army was not sincere enough, so they felt it was a risk It's not worth it, at most, after five days, we can transfer a small number of soldiers to help the Suzheng army."

Five days later, transfer a small number of soldiers to help?
Qin Tian was surprised, "Isn't this a quick battle? Why wait five days?!"

She, a person who does not fight wars, can see the doorway here, why can't Sun Wenjing see it?

Sun Wenjing had no choice but to say, "I don't know what kind of thinking the Guangsu Army has. In fact, it is common for the three armies to have their own plans, but the general has already dispatched troops, so we can't be trapped at this time."

Qin Tian couldn't imagine what kind of situation it would be if the eldest brother failed to take Xuzhou quickly, but fell into a fierce battle, and Qian Feng reacted at that time, and the Suzheng army was attacked by the enemy.

However, Zhu Siwei of the Guangsu Army did indeed send his son to the villa where he was secretly talking, and he didn't mean to put Suzhengjun to death.

"Then what do they want?"

At this moment, Sun Wenjing glanced at her.

"Zhu Siwei, Guangsu Jun, once said that he wanted to serve the princess for Su Zhengjun."

When he said this, Qin Tian was taken aback for a moment.

Seeing this, Sun Wenjing quickly said, "Of course, we will not send the princess to the other army! But if only our army holds the position near the princess, it is not impossible for others to be dissatisfied. This time, I think Zhu Siwei's The meaning is that I want the princess to also go to the villa where the secret talks are held, sharing risks and benefits."

At this point, Qin Tian understood.

The Guangsu Army had their own little calculations in mind and didn't say it out for a long time, but chose to make a request after her elder brother dispatched troops, using it as a coercion.

Sure enough, the coalition forces are not so easy to join together.

Sun Wenjing wanted to explain to her again, but Qin Tian motioned him not to explain.

She just stood up slowly and asked a question.

"When are we going?"

The words in Sun Wenjing's mouth evaporated in an instant. He looked at the young girl and looked up for the first time, as if he was really looking up at a princess who was above ten thousand people.
*
Qin Tian lived in the secret villa again, and Wei You came to tell her about it at noon the next day.

"The Guangsu Army has dispatched troops, and there is no further delay."

Qin Tian heaved a sigh of relief.

Yesterday, she arrived overnight, it was already late when she entered the villa, and she didn't see anyone except Mr. He.

But since he has already come, he cannot meet people.

When Zhang Shouyuan mentioned the dinner, Qin Tian didn't have any objections, but in the next afternoon, he suddenly saw a face that shouldn't be here - Juanzi.

Qin Tian was surprised, and glanced at Wei You who brought her here.

Wei You had no objection to Qin Tian's earlier intention to prevent the cook Juanzi from coming to the villa with the army.

Who would have thought that after his son dispatched troops, the Guangsu army would ask the princess to go to the villa as a "hostage".

The young master is fighting outside, maybe he doesn't know about it, if he knows, he doesn't know how to react?

But it would definitely not follow the Guangsu Army's wishes and let the princess come.

But fighting is more important. Neither Mr. Sun nor the princess wanted to interfere with him. They could only weigh the pros and cons and sent the princess over.

I don't know what Guangsu Army is planning, but the last time someone dared to touch Su Zhengjun's cook, the truth has not yet been revealed.

Wei You didn't dare to be careless about the safety of the princess. He secretly found Juanzi and brought her here as his bodyguard. Last night, he asked her to quietly pay attention to the person who dragged her last night. people.

When Qin Tian heard what Wei You said, he couldn't help asking Juanzi.

"Are you afraid?"

After all, there are not many women who dare to return to the place where the incident happened after encountering such a thing.

Juanzi was obviously a little scared, but she said, "This is what women should do! The princess treats women with great kindness, and women can't just let the bad guys hide beside the princess!"

These words made Qin Tian's nose sour.

To her, it was just a matter of effort, but to Juanzi, it had a completely different meaning.

"Then did you find anything last night?" Qin Tian asked someone to pour her a cup of tea.

Juanzi thanked her repeatedly, "The woman didn't find anything last night, but today she heard the voice of the person who dragged me last time! I'm not sure, but I'm [-]% sure!"

Qin Tian paused.

The people in the secret chat villa this time are not exactly the same as last time, but the person from before is still there this time!

But Juanzi only heard the voice, but did not see the speaker.

Qin Tian couldn't help but think of the sticky gaze sticking to the bead curtain, wondering if the owner of that gaze is also there?
She asked Juanzi a few more words, and let Juanzi go down first.

Then he called Wei You over.

She didn't tell anyone about the sticky eyes, but after thinking about it this time, she told Wei You.

When Wei You heard this, he was almost in a cold sweat.

He couldn't help thinking to himself, if the young master knew about this, he would really not let the princess come here again.

But the young master doesn't know that the princess has also been sent here, and there will be a dinner to meet everyone in the evening.

Wei You's heart tightened, he thought about it, and whispered a few words to Qin Tian.

　good night.
