Chapter 80: No one is more suitable than me
Time passed quietly in the busyness, and soon it was time for the New Year.
Although at the end of the year, the flavor of the New Year is strong, but whether it is Qin Youan's army or the Red Lotus Army, because of the tense war situation, they still pay close attention to drills and actively prepare various materials, and they have no intention of celebrating the New Year at all.
Qi Wu and Qin You'an were on the territory, and in a short period of time, they had already caused frequent wars and fought many times.
Although neither of them dispatched the main force, it was just a small friction between the borders, which could only be regarded as an appetizer before the big meal, but no one took it lightly, and they clashed several times, winning and losing each other.
Moreover, the current form is also quite unfavorable to Qin Youan.
You know, he is now dual-minded, King Ze has not completely solved it, King Ze's fierce generals are like clouds, Wuzhou was built by him like a turtle shell, and he can't shrink out, the troops, grain and grass are sufficient, and he can't capture it at all in a few months.
In addition, Fu Jingshan's situation there is not very good, although he occupies a large territory and has a large number of troops, unfortunately, there are not too many generals under him who can show their hands, most of them are promoted from within the White Lotus Society, let them fool people, let them lead the army to fight, forget it!
They don't do business every day, they only know how to fight for power and profit, all kinds of guns and arrows and calculations, all of them are aimed at their own people, not unanimously to the outside world, although there are many soldiers under their hands, but they are scattered sand, unbearable, they are defeated and retreated by the imperial army, the situation is critical, Fu Jingshan had to send people to Qin You'an, asking him to send troops to relieve the siege, and promised him many benefits, such as giving him the title of king, giving up various benefits, etc.
After getting Fu Jingshan's request for help, Cui Yuanjia tried his best to dissuade him, refusing to let Qin Youan send troops to rescue him, thinking that the army should not be taken lightly, not to mention that King Ze has not yet solved it, and Qi Wu is watching from the side.
I heard that Qi Wu had personally led a part of his troops to Jiangxi, and Jiangxi had already been occupied by him, I am afraid that he planned to outflank the lord from the west and south, and further north of Jiangxi, it was Lianghuai, that is, Huaidong and Huaixi, which the lord first occupied, and Qi Wu had already run to the back door of their house, and he might break into the door at any time.
In case the lord sends troops to rescue Fu Jingshan, Qi Wu takes advantage of the situation to attack, and the lord has no way out, but he will be in trouble, which is very unfavorable to them!
Of course Qin Youan knew this, not to mention, it was his lair that was being targeted by Qi Wu, how could he not be in a hurry! Although he left a lot of troops in his hometown, he was not vulnerable at all in front of Qi Wu.
If he wanted to stop Qi Wu, he could only lead the army in person.
However, he still really wanted to take over Fu Jingshan's power and expand his influence among the people, so he still had to use the influence of the White Lotus Society, even if he didn't want to help him, at least he had to make an appearance on the surface, otherwise, wouldn't his previous efforts be in vain?
From a military point of view, after Fu Jingshan was defeated and the territory was captured, there was a thick barrier in front of Ying Tianfu, and the firepower of the imperial army would definitely be concentrated on him.
But who should I send?
It stands to reason that it would be better for him to go to the rescue in person, but the reality does not allow it, he has already been dragged by Qi Wu, and this should be Tianfu, and it also needs reliable generals to guard it.
Let others go, and it doesn't show that he attaches importance to Fu Jingshan.
The most important thing is that he is going to send someone who is very reliable and trusting.
It's a pity that Qin Gui and Liu Si, who he trusts the most, were left in Wuzhou to attack Pan Heze, although Zhao Sheng is loyal and reliable, but his individual combat is okay, but the talent of the general is worse, but he will not give too many troops to him, Zhao Sheng has little effect, he doesn't want to let his soldiers go to death.
He thought of several candidates in his heart, but they were all a little unsatisfactory.
Until the evening, when Qin Youan and Qin Shu had dinner together, they hadn't made up their minds.
Although Qin Youan is very good at controlling his own feelings, he has always been very relaxed in front of Qin Shu, and he rarely hides anything, so he will inevitably be noticed by Qin Shu.
After eating, Qin Shu waved his subordinates away, and asked him: "You'an, I see that you are frowning, and you were also absent-minded when you had dinner just now, and the amount of food is much less than before, is there something to worry about?" โ
Qin Youan came back to his senses and originally wanted to shake his head, but when he saw his mother's worried gaze, he still nodded and said, "It's a little something, I can't make up my mind." โ
"One person counts short, two counts long, it's better to tell me and let me make an idea for you." Qin Shu said with a smile.
During this time, when he was free at night, Qin Shu either read the book of war, or asked Qin Youan for advice on the art of war.
Qin Youan was already a military genius, and he had decades of experience accumulated in his previous life, in this regard, Qin Shu was like a child who hadn't grown up compared to her.
Qin You'an is very eloquent, his explanations are simple and infectious, and he often uses examples to illustrate that Qin Shu has benefited a lot every time, and he also has a deeper understanding of training and leading soldiers.
Of course, Qin Shu also has some unique views on the military art of war, which also makes Qin Youan feel novel.
The mother and son exchanged and discussed with each other, but they both gained something.
Qin Youan is naturally extremely trusting and close to his mother, if so, his mother doesn't know the art of war, even if he is close to her and respects her, he will not say a word in front of her, but his mother is not, even she has an army of tens of thousands of people under her hands, and she is also very aware of the current situation, he will definitely not underestimate her, so in official affairs, he will rarely hide anything from her, and this time is no exception.
Thinking of the combat effectiveness of the Red Lotus Army, Qin You suddenly moved, but he still suppressed this thought first and told Qin Shu about the matter from beginning to end.
After Qin Shu listened, her brows furrowed at first, and then she didn't know what to think, she suddenly laughed, looked at him and said:
got up, looked at him and said, "You'an, if you want me to say, this matter is very easy to do." There are such good candidates in front of you, why can't you see them? โ
Qin You Anxin had already guessed who she was talking about, but he pretended not to understand, pretended to be puzzled, and said with a smile: "Mother, don't sell it, my son is stupid, I really can't guess who my mother is talking about." โ
Qin Shu hugged her arms, looked at him for a long time, raised her eyebrows and said, "Silly son, far away in the sky, close in front of you!" He just pointed to his nose and reminded him.
Qin Youan frowned tightly, glanced left and right, and said, "Where is the person my mother said?" Why didn't my son see it? โ
When Qin Shu heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, she didn't believe that she hinted so obviously, he would not know.
"You're enough, it's not fun to pretend any longer, my son isn't that stupid." Qin Shu said unceremoniously.
Qin Youan laughed at this time and said, "Of course I know that person is my mother's mother, but does my mother really have to think clearly?" This time to lead the army to rescue, I am afraid it will be very difficult and dangerous, this danger not only comes from the imperial court, but also from Fu Jingshan, although I know that my mother is a good choice, but I can't bear to see my mother go on an adventure. โ
If his mother must go on the expedition, he would prefer to let his mother be with him, at least, he will protect her no matter what, and he will definitely not let his mother get hurt.
However, if his mother goes to support Fu Jingshan, he must be separated from himself, he is really not at ease, after all, his mother has only gone on the expedition once, and she was still with him that time, although she has been working hard to learn the art of war, she has this talent, and even now it has been fruitful, in the end it is just a paper talk, which makes him feel at ease.
Because of this, he subconsciously ignored his mother and her Red Lotus Army, and did not list them as his choice.
Thinking of this, Qin Youan couldn't help but sigh.
Although he told him intellectually that his mother was the most suitable person, and he knew that he should believe in her abilities, he could not accept it emotionally, and he was worried that she would be hurt, and he could not make up his mind to let him go.
He has always been resolute in his work, but when faced with things related to his mother, he is always a mother-in-law.
Isn't this the so-called "care is chaos"?
Seeing this, Qin Shu also understood her son's concerns, a somewhat faint smile appeared on her face, she looked at him sincerely and said, "You'an, you should have more confidence in me, I shouldn't be so useless." โ
"Mother, I didn't mean that......" Qin Youan hurriedly explained.
Qin Shu chuckled and shook her head and said: "Of course my mother knows what you mean, you just attach too much importance to me and worry too much about me, but, just like a fledgling always has to learn to fly, I can't always live under your protection, in this way, my Red Lotus and I will never really grow up, which is contrary to my original intention and purpose of establishing the Red Lotus Army." I don't want the Red Lotus Army to keep rubbing on your credit, it will make me feel embarrassed and lose the meaning of establishing the Red Lotus Army......"
Qin You'an listened to her, his expression gradually calmed down, and the whole person completely regained his composure.
He has to admit that he has never taken the Red Lotus Army seriously in Zhenjiang, in his eyes, the Red Lotus Army is just a toy for his mother, but his mother obviously does not regard the Red Lotus Army as a toy, she is serious about running and building her own women's army, definitely not for fun or anything else.
If he still has this attitude until now, I am afraid that he will break his mother's heart and laugh at his mother's hard work.
What's more, gradually, he also began to change his opinion of the Red Lotus Army.
Whether it was the last expedition or the last few exercises, he was a little impressed.
If this time, Mother can handle this matter, then the Red Lotus Army will really grow up and become a real army, a real elite.
Perhaps, he should really give his mother more confidence.
Thinking of this, Qin Youan said: "What the mother said is that the son is wrong. โ
Qin Shu couldn't help but show a smile of relief on her face.
"It's just, mother, with only the Red Lotus Army, I'm afraid it's not enough." Qin Youan said again, "The Red Lotus Army only has more than 10,000 people in total, and the number is small, and the experience is also insufficient, so we must also send more people. โ
Qin Shu nodded thoughtfully, she was not so arrogant that she thought that her Red Lotus Army was invincible in the world, and with only more than 10,000 people, she dared to rush to the battlefield to fight against the huge imperial army and Fu Jingshan, who seemed to be an enemy and a friend.
"I'll give you another 30,000 soldiers, and send a few more soldiers to assist, what do you think?" Qin Youan asked.
Qin Shu pondered for a moment and said, "Thirty thousand is too many, only give me 20,000 is enough." Now is the time for you to employ people, we are suffering from many enemies, and our forces are scattered, so you don't need to give me so many troops, but it is just a waste. โ
Qin Youan didn't insist, and it was impossible for him to lose too many of his own lives in order to rescue Fu Jingshan.
He sent 30,000 people to the rescue, which was already interesting enough.
Besides, there are too many people he has sent, maybe it will cause Fu Jingshan to be vigilant, thinking that they are plotting against him, after all, it is easy to invite God and difficult to send God, although he does have bad intentions.
"It's okay, as for those soldiers, in my opinion, I will send Cheng Zhicai, Wan Xiong, Sun Tianlai, Huo Xin, as well as Mu Dai, Wu Tang and others to assist you, they all have their own abilities, and the most important thing is that they are all familiar with their mothers, and they will not be unconvinced by you, and they will actively assist your mother." Qin Youan said.
Cheng Zhicai is Cheng Qiuyu's second brother, proficient in the art of war, brave and good at fighting, compared with his eldest brother's old scheming, he is more suitable for leading troops to fight, and has made countless achievements. And he and Qin Shu are very similar to each other, and they have always been brothers, although they haven't seen each other for a long time, it has not affected their friendship. Not to mention the original relationship, just to say that Qin Shu personally led the army to rescue them at that time, which already made the Cheng family very grateful.
It's exciting.
Cheng Zhi is a die-hard fan of Qin Shu.
Not to mention Wan Xiong, at the beginning, the person he took refuge in was Qin Shu, Qin Shu also instructed him in martial arts, and he was not stingy with medicine to treat him, Wan Xiong has always regarded himself as Qin Shu's person, Qin You'an gave an order, he must have rushed over.
Sun Tianlai is Sun Xiaohong's elder brother, both brothers and sisters were rescued by Qin Shu, and they have been reused, they are Qin Shu's henchmen, and then Sun Tianlai was sick and dying, thanks to Qin Shu's medicine, he survived, if Sun Tianlai was allowed to choose between Qin Youan and Qin Shu, he would definitely choose Qin Shu, and he would not hesitate at all.
In his opinion, Qin Shu is the one who gave him two lives, who is he loyal to if he is not loyal to her?
Huo Xin is one of Qin You'an's first three righteous sons, Qin Shu's godson, clever, brave and good at fighting, he is very respectful and filial to Qin Shu, and has a good relationship, he will definitely do his best to assist Qin Shu.
And Mu Dai and Wu Tang, the two young generals, are also capable, one is more scheming, the other is calm and has a sense of the overall situation, they are both types of people who can write and martial arts, and most importantly, they also had an intersection with Qin Shu at the beginning, Qin Shu also gave them medicine, and they are usually very grateful and worship Qin Shu.
Choosing these people is enough to see Qin Youan's intentions.
If it were someone else, he might not obey Qin Shu's orders and arrangements.
Even if Generalissimo Qin Shu's mother is what, who made her a woman, there are many people in this world who look down on women! Most of the generals under Qin You'an are unruly, how can they succumb to a woman?
Besides, although the Red Lotus Army has begun to show its edge, it is slightly impressive, but in the end it has not made much contribution, and it has not been able to have enough achievements to convince people, even the last time Cheng Qiuyu went on the expedition, most people also think that it is their credit.
If you want them to be convinced, you have to speak with facts.
And these people sent by Qin You'an to Qin Shu are all very young, although they are excellent, they are not the top ones, they can only be regarded as middle-rated, second- and third-echelon talents, even if the Red Lotus Army wins this time, it will not make people feel that the Red Lotus Army has rubbed their credit.
If Qin You'an sent first-class strategists such as Chen Xiuyuan, Cui Yuanjia, and Mr. Zhu to Qin Shu, or sent those marshals on the commanding side to give Qin Shu a hand, it would be noisy and deliberate to make people dissatisfied with the Red Lotus Army!
Therefore, the people arranged by Qin Youan are really just right.
Qin Shu was also very satisfied with this.
This matter has finally been negotiated, and after the Chinese New Year, Qin Shu will probably leave.
As soon as she thought of going on the expedition, Qin Shu was a little eager to try, and her mood was surging.
Qin Youan probably set out at about the same time.
It's a pity that the mother and son sent troops in opposite directions, one to the north and the other to the south.
"You'an, you go back first, rest early." Qin Shu calmed down and said to Qin Youan.
Qin Youan nodded, then got up and saluted Qin Shu and retired.
Out of Qin Shu's courtyard, Qin Youan went directly to Xiao Ruxuan.
In addition to the feelings in her previous life, Qin Shu's appreciation for Xiao Ruxuan is also one of the reasons why Qin Youan looks at her differently, and he likes to go to her to sit there when he has nothing to do.
The attention of Mrs. Tai and the generalissimo made Xiao Ruxuan's transcendent status more stable and unbreakable.
It is useless for others to be envious and jealous.
Xiao Ruxuan happened to have not rested yet, and she was naturally very happy about Qin Youan's arrival, although the two were not intimate enough when they got along, they were not so cold that they had nothing to say. Although Xiao Ruxuan does things in a decent manner, she is not one of those sluggish wooden people, she doesn't talk much, but she has something to say, she is respectful and close to Qin Youan, Qin Youan also understands her temperament, and she will not be cold when she gets along.
It's just that when Qin Youan said that he would stay overnight, Xiao Ruxuan looked embarrassed, saying that his body was not very convenient, and he was afraid that he would not be able to serve the generalissimo, and he could still watch Qin Youan leave.
After the figure of the generalissimo disappeared into the night, Qiu Rui said with some pity: "Those little hooves in the cheap East Garden." โ
Xiao Ruxuan looked indifferent, she was really unwell, otherwise, she would not push people out. Although she admires her husband, she will not have that kind of exclusivity, she has never even had this kind of thought, she will not expect those things that do not belong to her, as long as she sticks to her duty and does what she should do in a down-to-earth manner.
How many things are caused by a lack of greed.
The most important thing for people is to be able to see their own position.
"Why can't you go to Sister Liang?" Xiao Ruxuan said with a smile.
Because the closest to her here, except for Liang Shilan's courtyard, is the East Garden.
Liang Shilan is closer.
Qiu Rui pouted lightly and said: "Aunt Liang has not been very favored, she was sick again some time ago, but now she is not thorough, the whole person is as thin as a paper man, how can the generalissimo go?" โ
"It's just you." Xiao Ruxuan said a word, and then ordered his subordinates to serve him and rest without mentioning it.
Qin Youan really went to the East Garden as Qiu Rui guessed, and then went directly to the main courtyard.
I didn't have a preference, I just walked around aimlessly, and when I saw that the lights were still on, I came in.
Later, I remembered that Xin was pregnant, it seemed that her health was not good, and she almost had a miscarriage some time ago, so she planned to take a look, but he was busy at that time and didn't take much care of it, but fortunately, the child was saved, and Xiao was there, and he was relieved.
Regarding Xin's miscarriage, in fact, it was Zhou Zhen'er who caused it.
Xin asked Zhou Zhen'er to greet her, but Zhou Zhen'er was angry and accidentally pushed her, Xin almost fell, and when he was frightened, he had a fetal gas.
This matter was immediately stabbed to Xiao Ruxuan.
After Xiao Ruxuan understood the whole story, she first reprimanded Xin's family, because she was too arrogant and too capable, how could there be a reason to let a concubine of the same level give her a morning and dusk province? Who she thought she was.
Even the last time I talked to Wu
The last time she had a conflict with the Wu family, she almost had a miscarriage, and she was the first to find fault, but this time she still didn't learn a lesson.
In addition to her, Zhou Zhen'er is also at fault, but it is still a big mistake, it has just stopped for a long time, and there is a moth again, why can't she settle down!
Therefore, Zhou Zhen'er's punishment was heavier, with a cane of fifteen years, confinement for half a year, and kowtow to the Xin family to admit his mistakes.
And Xin's is pregnant, and she has fetal gas, and she looks sick, so she really has no way to punish her, in case the fetus falls, who can be responsible?
I can only mean that I was fined a little monthly money and grounded for a month. Let her be proud first, wait for her to give birth, and then settle accounts with her.
Therefore, the Xiao family suppressed this matter for the time being, since nothing major happened, there was no need to alarm the generalissimo and Mrs. Tai because of this matter, after all, they were too busy.
Qin Youan just knew that there was such a thing, and it was not clear how it was, and it was impossible for him to go out of his way to investigate, he didn't have that time.
A man's vision must not be limited to the back house, staring at those trivial things all day long, watching women fight for themselves and be jealous, like this, the mind and vision will only become narrower and narrower, and the personality will become calculating, mother-in-law.
The back house is a gentle township, a place for men to relax occasionally, and it is the responsibility of the wife to manage the back house.
At least, for Qin Youan.
He just came to have some fun and relax after he was tired.
Since I've come to Xin's here this time, it's okay to take a look at her.
