Chapter 220 The eunuch leads troops to suppress the rebellion?
During the night, Lin Yiqiu had already traveled hundreds of miles with his troops.
So a group of people rested on the spot and built a bonfire.
After walking for such a long time, we were exhausted.
Although the situation was indeed urgent, Lin Yiqiu was not an iron man and did not have wings, so he could not fly over at once.
At this time, a dark shadow came out of the night and quickly approached the tent of Lin Yiqiu and others.
Cang Hong was the first to react, and the long sword was already unsheathed!
"who!"
The next second, a long knife was placed on the neck of a man in black!
At this time, the back of the man in black was already cold! His whole body was shaking with fear!
When Lin Yiqiu saw this, he quickly stopped him!
"No! Be careful! This is the spy I sent out!"
"Spy?"
Cang Hong looked confused.
Lin Yiqiu looked speechless and said: "I can't really wait until later to investigate the situation, right? So I arranged spies in advance to find out the news!"
"Tell me, what is the situation in Shiye City?"
Seeing Cang Hong put away his long knife, the man in black breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he wiped his sweat and said: "Reporting to the Governor, the situation in Shiye City is indeed urgent!"
"Although the prefect's mansion has not been captured yet, the gates of Shiye City, the mansions of various wealthy families, and the streets have all been occupied by rioters!"
"Now they control the entry and exit of Shiye City! Unless they are refugees, old, weak, sick or disabled, it is impossible to leave!"
The man in black spoke solemnly.
"Is there any news about Tang Zhaoyi and Gu Jinglan?"
Lin Yiqiu asked again.
The man in black shook his head when he heard this.
"This...it's true that we haven't found it yet."
Lin Yiqiu could only sigh.
For two women who don't know martial arts, it's extremely difficult to protect themselves from riots!
Lin Yiqiu now just hopes that the two of them can be smarter, such as hiding in a certain place and waiting for reinforcements!
Soon, the man in black left and continued to explore information.
At this time, Xia Nianqiao smiled and spoke.
"Yes, Lin Yiqiu actually knows that the first priority in marching and fighting is the need for intelligence!"
"I see that even though you are a eunuch, you seem to understand the principles of war!"
As the daughter of King Pingnan, although Xia Nianqiao has not personally experienced war, under the influence of her father, she still understands some basic principles of war.
Lin Yiqiu's performance now is almost the same as what his father, King Pingnan, said.
Lin Yiqiu shrugged.
"Although I am a eunuch, many of the things I do in battle are similar to those in the palace."
"To serve His Majesty for such a long time, of course you have to master all kinds of information, otherwise you won't know how to lose your head!"
"So this set of rules is naturally applicable to wars! The so-called troops and horses should go ahead with food and grass before they move. In fact, it is not accurate enough. Information should also be sent out first!"
After Xia Nianqiao listened, he rarely looked at Lin Yiqiu with admiration.
"Very good! You really have a talent for fighting!"
"Okay, stop flattering and go to bed early!"
Lin Yiqiu stretched out!
We have to continue marching after daybreak. This is absolutely impossible without sufficient physical strength!
It will take about two days at the earliest to reach Shiye City.
Lin Yiqiu could only pray in his heart now that nothing would happen to Tang Zhaoyi and Gu Jinglan!
A deep night.
By the time it was clear the next day, Lin Yiqiu had already started off with his people.
At this time, they were inside the imperial palace in the capital.
Emperor Qian, who had just entered the morning court, saw that Prime Minister Li Yan had already spoken first before he could speak.
"Your Majesty, the riots in Shiye City cannot be dragged on any longer! Changes will happen later!"
"Follow my suggestion! Let the eldest princess immediately send troops to quell the rebellion! This is the safest choice!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately aroused the echoes of other ministers around him!
"That's right! The only one who can stop the riots in Shiye City now is the eldest princess!"
"Your Majesty! Please let the eldest princess lead the troops to help immediately!"
A group of ministers were already kneeling down to plead.
Hearing this, Emperor Qian's expression did not change at all.
Then she spoke calmly.
"My dear friends, don't worry about this, I already have a solution!"
"Huh? Your Majesty has sent a decree to notify the eldest princess?"
Prime Minister Li Yan was slightly stunned.
Emperor Qian just shook his head and continued to speak.
"That's not the case. The Prime Minister guessed wrong."
"Xia Qingwu has heavily guarded the border between Northern Qi and Dagan. If he is easily mobilized, Northern Qi may take advantage of it!"
"So unless there is an extremely critical moment, Xia Qingwu must not be allowed to lead troops to Shiye City to rescue the siege!"
As soon as these words came out, the ministers present were basically stunned.
Li Yan didn't expect this, so he quickly continued: "Your Majesty, isn't this an extremely critical moment?"
"Shiye City is an important town! If it falls, I'm afraid those rebels will be able to drive straight into the hinterland of my Daqian!"
"By then, even this capital! Even Your Majesty will be seriously threatened!"
There is actually nothing wrong with what he said, and Li Yan does make sense.
But after hearing this, Emperor Qian just continued to smile.
"Haha, of course I know this."
She did not give a specific reason next.
Nonsense, the reason why she didn't send Xia Qingwu there was because she suspected that Xia Qingwu was responsible for this!
So how could it be possible to agree to let Xia Qingwu go quell the rebellion? Isn't this just what he wanted?
After a while, Emperor Qian continued: "My dear friends, don't worry, the people I sent have already set off."
"He is Lin Yiqiu who has just returned from a mission to the Kingdom of Wu. I asked him to take thousands of Forbidden Army troops to Shiye City to quell the riots!"
"Lin Yiqiu?"
Hearing this, the minister below was stunned again!
The eunuch led the troops to quell the rebellion. This kind of thing is unique in the entire history of Qian Kingdom!
For a moment, everyone thought it was a problem with their ears and they heard wrongly!
But Emperor Qian confirmed this matter again and again!
"Although Lin Yiqiu is an eunuch, I am quite moved by his ambition to serve the country!"
"Besides, judging from what he did on his mission to the State of Wu, he really doesn't deserve the title of brave, resourceful, wise and courageous!"
"Leave the counter-insurgency to him this time. I can rest assured, and all of you dear friends should also rest assured!"
A few words made the ministers below completely speechless.
At this time, even Prime Minister Li Yan could not say a word.
Although it sounds ridiculous for a eunuch to lead an army, he is leading a forbidden army, so it will definitely not be a problem to deal with a riot.
Besides, there was no need for Li Yan to object.
This kind of counterinsurgency is full of dangers, and it would be best for Lin Yiqiu to die there!
If so, you don’t even need to do it yourself! Wouldn’t it be perfect?
After a long while, I saw a minister who seemed to have difficulty understanding, and was ready to step forward to persuade.
As a result, Li Yan took the lead and bent down directly.
"Your Majesty has foresight and foresight. Now that arrangements have been made, I will no longer interfere. I believe that this rebellion will be successfully ended!" This chapter has been completed!
