Chapter 187: A Hundred Battles
"You!" Sheng Wang Li Qi heard Li Yi say this, his face changed suddenly, and he was shocked and angry. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Yi smiled lightly: "Your Highness doesn't have to be so angry, Bai Chengxing will go to Yangzhou tomorrow, and His Highness will either return in vain or ......"
Qin Nuan also understood at this time, as soon as Bai Chengxing came, he would control the military and political power of Yangzhou in his hands, and this Bai Zhonglang would be the younger brother of the prince's biological mother Bai Zhaoyi and the prince's blood uncle, so His Royal Highness King Sheng, as the prince's opponent, would naturally return in vain.
Of course, returning without success is the best ending, Gao Teng left Yangzhou with heavy troops, Yangzhou troops are thin, and Kang Lushan across the river will definitely come to attack Yangzhou, the so-called rebels can't spare troops to attack Yangzhou, that is the Wei family and the Bai family fooling the emperor's rhetoric, their real purpose is just to take control of Huainan Road. The previous festival made Gao Teng, who was an imperial party, and would neither favor the crown prince nor the third prince, King Sheng.
Once the rebels come to attack the city, they will definitely not be able to resist the 20,000 Jiangnan soldiers who have never been on the battlefield scattered along the river, and Yangzhou will definitely be besieged, even if there are 5,000 elite soldiers brought from Shanzhou, they may not be able to defend Yangzhou.
It is a great achievement to hold on, if you can't hold it, Bai Chengxing can escape with the generals first, and then fight back when the reinforcements come, in short, the rebels come to attack Yangzhou, a lonely city across the river, and it will not be defended for a long time, let alone go deeper, most of it is to loot and seize what you want to capture, and eventually you have to retreat.
So if he lost Yangzhou and then "recaptured" Yangzhou, Bai Chengxing could be regarded as a merit and demerit, and it was not a violation of the oath he made to the emperor, and the most important thing was that there were still people in the court to help him speak, and he would not be punished much.
As for whether Yangzhou will be bloody, whether the people will be ruined, and whether the prosperity of the port will be ruined by the war, they will not care, and no one will chew their tongues in front of the emperor.
And if King Sheng doesn't leave, in such a war, it is not too easy to make him lose his life...... No matter how he died, it was the rebels who did it!
As for the reason why the rebels crossed the river to attack Yangzhou despite the Jiangnan battlefield, it can be attributed to the fact that this highness is in Yangzhou, so the rebels want to attack the city.
What Qin Nuan can figure out, His Royal Highness King Sheng, who has been immersed in the power field since he was a child, can naturally figure it out.
However, seeing that His Royal Highness's face was pale, his lips were closed tightly and he did not speak, he knew that he was unwilling to return in vain and wanted to stay and fight.
The county lord of Li Yi unfolded the sandalwood and painted gold folding fan and shook it leisurely, very calmly.
However, Qin Nuan knew that everything was just because she heard about this holy decree one day earlier than others.
In fact, Li Yi's mood was much worse than that of His Royal Highness yesterday, she was so angry that she threw the pen in her hand to the ground, splashed the ink, and threw the teacup in her hand to the ground, and finally turned around several times in the big garden behind the study before she was deflated.
His Royal Highness King Sheng was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Lone wants to stay in Yangzhou!"
The corner of Guangling County Lord Li Yi's mouth hooked slightly, folded the fan, and said, "The foolish sister will do her best to help His Highness!"
King Sheng grinded his tooth socket fiercely, "If he wants to go back to the capital, he can't go back to the capital!"
Li Yi smiled slightly, and said to Qin Nuan: "Ah Nuan, you go to the door and guard!"
Qin Nuan immediately walked out of the study silently under the corridor, and the personal attendants who had been following King Sheng also came out closely, standing on the other side, and the two little attendants retreated far into the courtyard.
Ding Yin, who was originally leaning on the pillar in front of the corridor, grinned when he saw Qin Nuan coming out: "Xiao Nuan, are you going to see the excitement tomorrow?"
"What's the excitement?" Qin Nuan asked.
Ding Yin pouted and said: "It is said that Bai Chengxing is good-looking, and some people in the capital call him 'General Jade Face'!"
Qin Nuan said: "I just heard the county lord say that he is a woman!"
A bright smile immediately bloomed on Ding Yin's face: "That's it! You say a man, what kind of jade face he looks like, and what kind of general he is! Could it be that he went to the battlefield to compare his beauty? It would be better for both the enemy and me to call a group of beauties to come out and compare, and it would be over!"
Qin Nuan couldn't help laughing, Ding Yin's mouth, if it was someone else's damage, it was still very pleasant.
Ding Yin waited for Qin Nuan to finish laughing, lowered his head and gently instructed: "Xiao Nuan must go to see the excitement tomorrow!"
The guards of King Sheng over there were originally standing under the corridor with a solemn face, but when they saw Ding Yin laughing so unscrupulously, they couldn't help but look at him in surprise.
Qin Nuan didn't wait long under the corridor, His Royal Highness King Sheng left in a hurry as when he came, and when he left, he also took the hand-painted "one and the other".
Li Yi sighed, so he had to ask Qin Nuan to draw another picture, and then instructed Qin Nuan to take Li Kun's father and daughter into the palace after finishing the drawing, and live with Qin's mother and son.
Qin Nuan responded silently, it seems that from now on, the rebels on the other side of the Yangtze River will come over at any time.
The next day, Bai Chengxing really entered Yangzhou with 5,000 elite soldiers.
Li Yi naturally wouldn't greet her, but Qin Nuan changed into a hat and a straight jacket, and quietly followed Yang Yun to the city gate to watch the excitement, she was not only curious about the battle-hardened elite soldiers in Shanzhou, but also curious about what the jade-faced general Bai Chengxing, who was poisoned by Li Yi's poisonous tongue, was like.
However, Qin Nuan stood in front of the window on the second floor of the teahouse, looking at the soldiers who entered the city, and really couldn't see the difference between the elite soldiers of a hundred battles and ordinary soldiers, but it could be seen that they were generally much darker and rougher than the Yangzhou soldiers that Qin Nuan saw, most of them were bearded and scumbersome, and they didn't look as clean as the soldiers in Jiangnan, and their clothes and armor were not neat, and they couldn't even be clean......
This group of elite soldiers in Shanzhou has probably never been to a place like Yangzhou, Jiangnan, and has been struggling for their lives in the bitter cold and remote outside the fortress, although they are carrying swords, guns, swords, and halberds, they are very curious to look left and right on both sides of the street, with a new look, and some people seem to be still talking......
Qin Nuan's imaginary "elite soldiers in a hundred battles" is definitely not like this, no matter how neat the military appearance is, the eyes do not squint, the face is serious, and the temperament is cold and cold......
However, the general under Shuai's banner looked very decent, wearing a phoenix winged hood, a bright armor, very delicate facial features, a fair complexion, and a neatly trimmed mustache, probably not yet thirty years old.
Maybe as a general, he really doesn't look powerful enough, but he can't see a sissy.
Qin Nuan was disappointed, and couldn't help but ask Yang Yun: "This elite soldier from Shanzhou, why can't I see the difference?"
Yang Yun only said: "There is a big difference when you go to the battlefield! Of course, there is not much difference in ordinary times!"
Qin Nuan replied with little interest, I don't know why Ding Yin asked her to come and see the excitement just because this group of people entered the city.
