Chapter 68: Convergence (I)

A total of 60,000 elite soldiers from Dongjing and Western Qin, plus 80,000 soldiers and horses reinforced by Nan Chen, set off to Zhaocheng together, accompanied by Chu Li, the third princess of Nan Chen. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The purpose of info Gong Chuli this time is to appease the people of several cities near Zhaocheng, and it is also to stabilize the soldiers who are fighting to the death on the front line.

This errand can be good or bad, and if it is done well, it will not only win the support of the people, the support of the soldiers and the trust of the imperial court, but will also lay a solid foundation for ascending to the throne. If you smash it...... At best, the second princess was thrown into the well and lost her power, and at worst, she was accompanied by Gong Xuelian.

And with the "help" of the second princess and others, Gong Chuli's situation this time is worrying. Gong Chuli naturally understands that her current situation is worrying, but Empress Nanchen may not understand, so she not only has to do her errand well now, but also proves that her means are higher than the second princess.

Because the battle in Zhaocheng was tight, everyone was speeding up, and the elite soldiers from Su Qingluan and Dongjing were good at long-distance battles, so there was no discomfort for six or seven days in a row, and Gong Chuli insisted on enduring it although he was not used to it, although he was already a little haggard after only a few days.

At this time, the gap between the soldiers of Dongjing and Western Qin was revealed, and the 30,000 soldiers of Dongjing who had been running around for days were still full of slaughter and their eyes were full of excitement. And most of the soldiers in Western Qin were already disparate and depressed, obviously not adapting. Gong Chuli didn't say anything in his eyes, and treated the two countries equally. On the contrary, Fu Mingyue was a little embarrassed, and in the end she could only find an excuse to perfunctory.

When I arrived at Zhaocheng, I found that the battle was not as fierce as I imagined, and this time Empress Nanchen sent General Zhenhai to have some skills, and she had already rescued Zhaocheng for half a month after taking over, and drove the Japanese army to Philadelphia, which was a hundred miles away. Philadelphia was one of the three cities taken by the Japanese army before, and now General Zhenhai is stationed ten miles away from Philadelphia with Nan Chen's 100,000 soldiers and horses.

It seems that the Japanese army knew that Nan Chen's side was coming to reinforce the army, and their side was no longer arrogant, but they were sending scouts to constantly observe the movements of Nan Chen's army.

Su Qingluan and a few people followed Gong Chuli to the tent of the commander of the Nanchen army, because they received the news that they would come, General Zhenhai and several non-commissioned officers in the army were waiting in the tent, and when they heard that they had arrived, they all came out to greet them.

"General Chen is exempt from courtesy, how dare he bother the general to greet him personally. Seeing that General Zhenhai was about to salute, Gong Chuli hurriedly turned sideways and moved out of the way.

Although Gong Chuli was not courteous to him, General Zhenhai still stubbornly saluted, "The last general, Chen Mo, has seen the third princess. He hugged his fists and saluted Su Qingluan and the others, "The eldest princess of Jing'an, the ninth prince, and the eleventh prince." ”

Su Qingluan and the others were also polite: "General Chen doesn't have to be polite. ”

A few people entered the tent after a few polite words outside, Gong Chuli, Su Qingluan, and Fu Mingyue walked in front, but Su Qingyu walked behind General Huwei. General Zhenhai took a few steps behind, and said to the shoulders of General Huwei of Dongjing and General Xihai of Western Qin, "Welcome two brothers, and I will ask the two brothers for more help in the future." ”

General Huwei is only in his early thirties, and his experience in leading soldiers alone is not as good as Chen Mo, the famous Zhenhai general in Southern Chen, when he heard Chen Mo so politely and hurriedly said, "Don't dare, I have to ask General Chen for more guidance this time." ”

And General Xihai of Western Qin didn't have much expression on his face, and said lightly, "General Chen is polite." ”

The interaction between the three of them here was seen by everyone, seeing General Xihai's attitude, the face of Non-commissioned Officer Chen in the tent was a little unpleasant, although Fu Mingyue was annoyed by General Xihai's attitude, he couldn't say anything at this time.

General Zhenhai didn't seem to care about General Xihai's words, and still invited a few people to sit down with a smile, but nodded secretly to Su Qingyu in his heart, I heard that the Nine Emperors of Dajing and the eldest princess of Jing'an had a very good relationship, so although the status of his biological mother was not high and he died early, Emperor Dongjing thought that he would be as delicate as an ordinary prince because of the eldest princess of Jing'an, but he was impressed. Standing behind General Huwei, like an ordinary lieutenant general, he was not dissatisfied at all because of his status as a prince.

Everyone sat down, and General Zhenhai began to explain the current situation to Su Qingluan and the generals. "Now the Japanese army is besieged in Philadelphia, and although it seems that our side has won for the time being, Philadelphia is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Because there is a natural barrier outside Philadelphia, most of the outside of Philadelphia is hilly, and the hills are full of flowers and trees, which is not suitable for large-scale marching. And I think the Japanese army seems to know that reinforcements are coming from our side, and launched a large-scale charge three days ago, and after being repulsed by our side, Liao was silent, as if they were planning something. ”

Because in the past, the Japanese army would basically take the initiative to launch small-scale battles every day, and there would be a large-scale charge in about three days, but yesterday and today there was no movement, which is very abnormal.

What General Zhenhai meant was that if the Japanese army had not moved before dawn tomorrow, then Nan Chen would strike first and send a small force to test it.

"I don't know what the eldest princess and the eleventh prince think?" General Zhenhai politely asked Su Qingluan and Fu Mingyue's opinions.

Both said that they did not understand the war, and that the soldiers of both countries were arranged by the commander this time. Although neither of them can understand it, but almost everyone knows that Su Qingluan grew up in the military camp with the Duke of Dongjing Fuguo since he was a child, who is the Duke of Fuguo? It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the god of war of Dongjing, how can he not understand it since he was a child, it is just modesty! And Fu Mingyue may really not understand.

When General Huwei heard this, he said, "We are here to assist Nan Chen this time, so we naturally obey General Zhenhai's arrangement, and if there is anything, the general can only dispatch." "Before coming, the emperor instructed him to take Su Qingluan as the main thing in Nanchen, but on the way, Su Qingluan let him not have to be in the limelight when he arrived in Nanchen, as long as he assisted Nanchen's army and did some less important tasks.

General Huwei was polite. Although Chen Mo said it, he was still very satisfied with General Huwei's decision.

"Our army is also at the disposal of General Zhenhai. General Xihai also said lightly, in fact, he was very disdainful of being called by Chen Mo, but just now he was about to speak but was glared at by Fu Mingyue, so he had to reluctantly say what he said just now.

Everyone discussed some details before ending the meeting, it was already lunch time when they got out of the tent, and the food in the barracks was very simple, although the status of Su Qingluan and the others was only two meat and two vegetables, and they really didn't dare to compliment their appearance.

In fact, the barracks meals in each country are similar, Su Qingluan has no opinion on this, and finishes lunch with a calm face. And Gong Chuli and Fu Mingyue didn't have such a good psychological quality, they just ate a few bites and let people take them back. After all, the two of them are not like Su Qingluan, who soaked in the barracks all day long, and it is understandable that they are not used to eating clear soup and tasteless barracks meals.

What was surprising was that General Xihai not only didn't move, but also got angry because of it, which made Fu Mingyue, who was already in a bad mood because of the bad food, even darker. I couldn't help but curse in my heart, who recommended this Xihai general, it was simply stupid.
