Qin Xiao stood beside King Taihu, looked at him with a surprised look, and chuckled: "King Taihu seems to know me very well."
"Qin Shaoqing's reputation in Kyoto has spread. It would be strange if I didn't know." The King of Taihu smiled slightly.
Qin Xiao thought for a moment and then said: "If the princess leaves Suzhou, there will indeed be a lot of trouble, but what will happen if she stays in Suzhou? The reinforcements from the imperial court will arrive sooner or later. Even if the princess stays in Suzhou, the Shence Army will pacify it by then.
If there is a rebellion, the princess will still lose Jiangnan."
"So the only way for the princess to protect Jiangnan is to personally put down the rebellion before reinforcements arrive." King Taihu said in a calm voice.
"It makes sense." Taihu King actually nodded slightly: "It's not necessarily, but definitely. If we add up together, we will definitely not be the opponent of Suzhou Camp in a head-on confrontation."
Qin Xiao was a little surprised when the King of Taihu said this.
In fact, he knew very well that the combat effectiveness of a formally trained soldier would never be comparable to that of ordinary people. The purpose of training soldiers is to make them murderous weapons on the battlefield. A group of such soldiers together would definitely have a combat effectiveness of
Very scary.
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "To be honest, the princess does have this idea, but in my opinion, it is not realistic."
"oh?"
"King Taihu, the only people the princess can use now are the defenders in the city." Qin Xiao said seriously: "Although the people in the city have been mobilized and gathered thousands of people, the actual available soldiers are only a few hundred people.
The common people can barely do enough to defend the city. If they go out for a decisive battle, they are actually just a bunch of rabble. It will take at least a few months to train these common people into usable soldiers. By that time, the Shence Army has already arrived.
Jiangnan. Of course, now that the King of Taihu is leading reinforcements, the two or three thousand people under your command are naturally trained, but there is still Suzhou Camp in Suzhou City. I am not destroying my prestige. Even if the two groups of people on our side join forces,
Even though they are here, they may not be the rivals of Suzhou Camp."
The King of Taihu smiled and said: "It depends on man-made things. Our opponents at the moment are just a group of rabble from the Queen Mother Society. The only strong enemy is the Suzhou Battalion. Compared with the Deathwing Cavalry under Li Tuo in Xiling, it can be said to be a world of difference. If you and
Princess can't even pacify such a rabble, I really can't think of how you can regain Xiling in the future?"
Qin Xiao's heart trembled.
He knew very little about King Taihu, but King Taihu obviously knew a lot about himself.
Moreover, Suzhou has become the territory of the Queen Mother Society and is full of followers of the Queen Mother. These believers may not have much fighting power, but they cannot bear the overwhelming number.
Therefore, no matter in terms of military strength or combat effectiveness, it is simply a fantasy for She Yue to rely on the little power she has on hand to make a comeback.
"In this case, how does King Taihu think that the princess can put down the rebellion before reinforcements arrive?" Qin Xiao knew that with Linghu Xuan's identity, it was impossible for him to lie to him. Since he said this, he must have some plan.
"Waiting for the Suzhou camp troops to arrive at the city." Wang Dan of Taihu Lake
He said calmly: "I said that our biggest enemy is the Suzhou Battalion. The Queen Mother Society hastily raised troops. They are proficient in conspiracy and conspiracy, but they have no real generals. Suzhou is full of Queen Mother followers.
, seems to be in great momentum, but it is just a bluff. Their rebellion this time has loopholes everywhere. As long as you have patience, you can kill them with one sword.
Qin Xiao felt extremely excited when he heard these two words. He knelt down and said, "What does King Taihu mean by saying that as long as the Suzhou camp is annihilated, the Queen Mother of Suzhou will become useless?"
"What is the King of Taihu going to do?" Qin Xiaowei pondered, knowing that the King of Taihu was a local leader in the south of the Yangtze River and knew the situation in the south of the Yangtze River very well. Since he said this, he should be confident, so he respectfully asked for advice at the moment.
The King of Taihu said calmly: "Wait!"
"wait?"
"Is the King of Taihu so confident?"
"It's not self-confidence." The King of Taihu shook his head slightly and sighed: "The Jiangnan Aristocratic Family is pursuing the princess because they only hope to gather rebels from all walks of life in the name of the princess. They have no intention of taking the princess's life. If there is someone in the Jiangnan Aristocratic Family in this world,
If there is only one person who can quickly get rid of me, that would be me, Linghu Xuan."
Qin Xiao didn't say anything, but he quite agreed with what the King of Taihu said.
"Master Qin hit the nail on the head." King Taihu said with a smile.
"I have two questions to ask." Qin Xiao said solemnly: "First of all, how can the Taihu King be sure that the Suzhou Battalion will definitely reinforce this side? Secondly, if the Suzhou Battalion really comes to the city, how can the Taihu King annihilate it?"
The King of Taihu looked at Qin Xiao and smiled lightly: "If I am here, Suzhou Camp will definitely come."
Qin Xiao nodded and said: "Okay. King Taihu, you haven't told me how to annihilate the Suzhou camp yet."
"I am planning." The King of Taihu said calmly: "Master Qin only needs to defend Shuning City, and the Taihu fishermen will stick to Xixia Mountain." He put one hand behind his back and stared at Qin Xiaodao: "The success or failure of this battle depends on whether you and I
We can defend our respective places, so if the rebels attack the city, even if Shuning City is in danger, I will not be able to go to reinforce it. If the rebels attack Xixia Mountain, no matter how critical the situation is, you will not need to go out to reinforce it."
Qin Xiao didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Taihu King's gourd, but Taihu King had already looked at the sky and said: "It's almost dawn, and there will be no adults left here. The Neiku cavalry will follow you to escort the Neiku officials into the city, and send them off."
When we get to the city gate, your Excellency will have the Neiku cavalry return here." He just smiled slightly, but said no more, turned around and walked away with his hands behind his back. Looking from behind, he couldn't see the majesty of a hero at all.
"I'm on Taihu Island. They don't have the strength to attack the island. They can only look at me from across the lake and have no choice." The Taihu King smiled and said: "Now that I have finally landed on the shore, do you think they will miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"
"
Qin Xiao's body trembled and he realized something: "King Taihu, you personally led the troops here this time. Is it to lure the snake out of its hole?"
King Taihu did not answer, but slowly stood up and said: "The rebels who besieged the city have withdrawn to Funiu Mountain. They dare not go down the mountain until their reinforcements arrive, so it is still safe outside Shuning City for the time being. Mr. Qin,
You can take the civil servants from the inner treasury to Shouning City, but the inner treasury cavalry can stay here. If the cavalry enters the city, their advantages will not be brought into play. If this cavalry team stays here in Xixia Mountain, they will always fight against the rebels.
The army's flanks pose a threat. Even if the Suzhou Battalion arrives, they will divide their forces to deal with this side and dare not attack the city with all their strength."
Jiang Xiaochun was a little confused and said: "Sir, the Taihu Army has no intention of protecting the troops heading to Hangzhou. What am I doing here?"
"Even if we want to escort the princess to Hangzhou, at this time, the princess will not leave the people of Shuning City." Qin Xiao said: "The rebels are already afraid of your cavalry, so they stayed in Xixia Mountain.
They always have fear in their hearts, so if you stay here, you will pose a greater threat to the rebels."
Jiang Xiaochun hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
When Qin Xiao returned to Tu Kuohai's side, Tu Kuohai had already taken the lead and said with a smile: "Master Qin, I believe the leader has already made it clear to you."
Qin Xiao thought that the King of Taihu had said a lot, but he really didn't understand it very well. He just nodded slightly and said to Fei Xin: "Master Fei, please summon the officials from the inner treasury and come back to the city with me."
Jiang Xiaochun said: "Commander Jiang, you escort everyone back to the city, but you don't have to follow us into the city. Send them outside the city gate, and then return to Xixia Mountain."
"Commander Jiang, what do you mean...?"
"Of course it's what we asked for." Jiang Xiaochun patted Fat Fish on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Yu wanted to kill the enemy with us several times before, but he shouldered the responsibility of protecting Master Fei and others and failed. Now that Master Fei has entered the city,
Brother Yu can naturally charge into battle with us in the future. With Brother Yu’s help, my team will be even more powerful."
Fat Fish hurriedly smiled and said, "The commander is joking."
"Sir, my riding skills are just okay." Fat Fish, who had been silent next to Jiang Xiaochun, suddenly said: "If Commander Jiang is willing to take you in, I want to stay with him and be with the cavalry brothers, so that I can contribute to some extent.
"
Qin Xiao knew that Fat Fish was Yu Wen Chengchao's best warrior at the beginning. He was good at riding and shooting, and his skills were definitely not weaker than any of the Neiku cavalry. He smiled and said, "You don't want to defend the city with me?"
"I don't dare." Fatty smiled and said, "I just think I'm more suitable for riding a horse and killing people."
After sending someone to report, the princess summoned them, and then they entered the courtyard where the princess lived.
"Qin Xiao, you went out of the city last night?" She Yue had just packed up, and before she could even come out from behind the screen, she said angrily: "You are so brave, you didn't tell me in advance when you left the city, you should have
What crime?"
When she came out from behind the screen, she was wearing a light cyan long skirt. However, the long skirt was obviously a bit tight on She Yue, which made her busty breasts and hips appear, and her waist became more slender.
Without further delay, Feixin summoned all the officials from the inner treasury, and Jiang Xiaochun also gathered his cavalry. The group bid farewell to Tu Kuohai and followed Qin Xiao to Shuning City.
Although the rebels withdrew, just in case, Jiang Xiaochun still sent scouts to explore the road, and the road was smooth. When everyone arrived at the city, it was already dawn, and the defenders opened the city and let Qin Xiao and others in. Jiang Xiaochun then
He bid farewell to Qin Xiao and led the cavalry back to the Xixia Mountain.
After entering the city, Qin Xiao asked the officials to settle down first, but Feixin insisted on going to see the princess first. Qin Xiao also had something to report to the princess, so the two of them rushed to the county government office. When they arrived at the county government office, it was already dawn.
When the dawn first appeared, Qin Xiao didn't know if the princess had already gotten up. After all, the princess came to him for dinner at midnight last night. Even if she went to bed, she would definitely have slept very late.
The rebels were besieging the city, and the situation was tense. Of course, it was impossible to find someone to make tailor-made clothes. I don’t know where Dong Guangxiao sent people to find clothes for She Yue. The material was considered high-quality in this small county town, but after all, it was not
Tailor-made, Her Royal Highness has a plump figure, and it is inevitable that the long skirt will be a little tight.
Of course Qin Xiao knew that the princess had an exquisite and convex figure, but at this time he did not have the courage to appreciate it carefully, and said respectfully: "Princess, do you see who is here?"
