Chapter 298: Reinforcements
"But if there is a rout ahead, the consequences will be even more unimaginable." Xia Hanqiu stood up with Lan Yu's hand, pacing back and forth with his stomach straight, "Although Bai Yu is young, he is cautious by nature, not aggressive, he doesn't need a defeat to suppress his sharpness at all, he is now the one who is being replaced and pushed on the bright side, in other words, he is the one who will sit in that position in the future, this battle can be lost to anyone, but he can't." ”
"Where you lose, then stand up from where you are, Duan Baiyu is not so useless."
"It's not that, what he wants is to grow step by step, and there can be failures in his growth, but not at this time, senior brother, you said that if he is like a bamboo at this end, he has suffered defeats on the other side, how can people's hearts be balanced? Many people's hearts belong to the king is the prince, if such a situation occurs again, Bai Yu will definitely leave a pimple in his heart, this is definitely not a good thing, you say I think too far I admit it, but now everything we are trying to do is not for the future? Knowing that such consequences will occur in the Dao, of course I have to put an end to it, it is better than losing harmony in the future. ”
Chen Chen stopped talking, he still didn't agree with withdrawing the only troops in the pavilion to reinforce Duan Baiyu, but he also had to admit that the little junior sister was right, if the prince was standing at the top from beginning to end, then what he didn't say, how to benefit the prince.
But the problem is that the fourth prince didn't want that position at all, and it was another person who would sit in that position in the future, so he had to think more.
"Princess, Yu Longbow asks to see."
"Come in." Xia Hanqiu sat back, and when he saw someone coming in, he asked Blue Butterfly to hand the letter over.
Yu Chang bowed a suit of soft armor. After bowing down, he took the letter, and his face changed when he saw it.
"What does General Yu think?"
At this time, Yu Changgong already had the courage of a famous general, and after a few turns of his mind, he said: "Your Highness needs reinforcements, and there are no troops to come out of the pavilion, if the Min State really plans to march in a big way, I am afraid it will not be able to hold it." ”
"So I'm going to send reinforcements."
Yu Changgong didn't want to refuse, "The minister is against it, the princess, the pavilion is the most important thing." ”
Xia Hanqiu didn't need to convince him with the argument he had just said to the second senior brother, but put a bunch of data on him. "When Bai Yu attacked Bajing City, there were only 20,000 horses. Eight Views City was easy to take, the soldiers were rarely injured, and most of the soldiers and horses of Eight Views City were incorporated into the army, and Bai Yu had nearly 50,000 men at that time. Nearly 10,000 people were lost in the attack on Leye City and Baosheng City. But later, nearly 40,000 were added from the two cities. Addition, subtraction, Bai Yu should now have about 80,000 in his hand. ”
"With all due respect, among the 80,000 people, only the 20,000 that can be trusted are the ones brought from the pavilion."
"General Yu probably forgot. Leye City and Baosheng City were once the cities of the Liang State, and at least half of the soldiers there were once Liang people, and they may not have been loyal to the Liang State. ”
Yu Changgong frowned, he really missed this.
Xia Hanqiu glanced at him and continued: "At the beginning, we had a total of more than 30,000 people, Bai Yu took away 20,000, and there were more than 10,000 left, and a lot was added later. ”
"Yes, the minister knows that he said, don't say that those homeless people have been severely trained, even if they don't, the prince can also use them like an arm."
Xia Hanqiu couldn't help laughing, when it comes to the crazy fans of the exchange, Yu Longbow and Zheng Duoxin are among the best.
"In other words, there are still 20,000 soldiers in the pavilion, did I miscalculate?" Seeing Yu Longbow nodded, Xia Hanqiu continued: "There are a lot of nobles in the city, and the sum of the guards is not a small number, if something really happens, these are all available people, so my idea is to increase the army by 15,000 and leave 5,000 people to defend the city, in addition, send reliable people to Renxing and Shuangfeng, and let them quietly send people to support...... Wait a minute. ”
Xia Hanqiu motioned to Lan Yu to spread out the map and looked back and forth in several places, "Sending elite soldiers to support is one of them, in addition, they should be able to do something else, General Yu, I am just a layman in the war, and it is not good to point fingers, you must know better than me what to do is the best." ”
When Xia Hanqiu said, Yu Changgong had a score in his heart, and when he heard the words, he said: "Please give the princess a little time, and the minister will give an answer as soon as possible." ”
"Go ahead."
Waiting for Yu Longbow to retreat, Chen Chen, who had been listening silently, sighed and said: "If the little junior sister is a man, she will fight for the capital of the world." ”
"I'm a woman, aren't I doing my part for the world now?" Moving his gaze from the map to Chen Chen, Xia Hanqiu raised his eyebrows, "Second Senior Brother still thinks that I am useless as a woman?" ”
"If you're useless, there won't be many men in the world who are useful." Chen Chen looked distressed at her obviously pregnant but only had a big belly, her face was not half round, and she changed the topic and said, "What do you want me to do?" ”
"I want my senior brother to go to Bai Yu's side."
"Nope." Chen Chen categorically refused, "You said that you want to increase the troops, I don't object, but I must not leave the pavilion, it's not that I think highly of myself, if I'm not here at this time, there is a mess in the pavilion and there is no one who can help you out, you don't always think that you can do anything, little junior sister, those things outside, you can't do it, you can't even run now, if something happens, you can still lead the troops to fight!" ”
Xia Hanqiu's mouth opened, but she found that she had no argument, she had to admit that although the second senior brother's words were sharper, she was no longer right.
The matter was quickly settled, and 15,000 troops were added to Leye City, and Yu Changgong ran this trip, and the people were sent and returned quickly.
The two cities of Renxing Shuangfeng also sent appropriate people to deliver the letter.
"Second Senior Brother, you sent someone to Qi Zhensheng for this letter."
Chen Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise, if he could think of the little junior sister's decision before, this time it was beyond his expectations.
With the grievances between the little junior sister and Qi Zhensheng, he thought that it would not be too much to hate for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect her to let go at this time.
"Look at what I'm doing like that." Xia Hanqiu touched his stomach and smiled indifferently, "If I don't have a good time now, I may still hold on to my past grievances and not let go, but I am obviously better off than them now, why do I have to worry about this?" He is a smart person, he will not refuse my suggestion, in the final analysis, he is also a Liang person, and he is already close to him in the heart, to put it in the long run, it may not be impossible to eat his power smoothly in the future. ”
Chen Chen didn't ask any more questions, as long as the little junior sister of Zhilu Dao was not embarrassed to do this, it was enough.
An autumn rain and a cold, if you start the wind again, you can put on your winter clothes.
"Princess, Weichen asks to see."
Xia Hanqiu rarely had a moment of leisure today, and he was struggling with the end of the shocking world, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the unfamiliar voice, why wasn't it informed by Mingde or Blue Jade Blue Butterfly today?
Clearing his throat, Xia Hanqiu raised his voice and said, "Come in." ”
The one who came in was a middle-aged man who looked less than forty and had a mustache, not tall, and his eyes were very bright, "Weichen Song Jiang greets the princess." ”
Seeing that he was going to make a big salute, Xia Hanqiu hurriedly spoke, "It's enough to talk about things in the yamen, you don't need to do these false courtesies, but there is something wrong with coming to me?" ”
Song Jiang made a move, but he couldn't bow down in the end, and made a calculation, "Princess Qiqi, there are many homeless people outside the city, and I still ask the princess to decide how to settle them." ”
"Aren't there also homeless people coming here on weekdays? What was done in the past is still how to do it now. ”
"If it's the same as before, Wechen won't dare to disturb you, it's really that there are too many people coming back this time, Wechen looked at the city tower and roughly calculated, I'm afraid there must be thousands of people."
"Is this a wave of people?"
"Yes."
No wonder they came to her, Xia Hanqiu frowned, there were thousands of people when they came, this is too unusual, "Don't rush them into the city, first find out where they came from, but what happened, in addition, let people set up a shed at the gate of the city, one bowl of porridge per person, and draw out a few teams of soldiers to maintain order, don't make a mess." ”
"Yes." Song Jiang was elected by a group of people to report back to the matter, although he heard a lot of rumors about the princess, but it was the first time he really saw it, but he didn't expect it to be as assertive as the rumors, but it was too kind of a woman.
Xia Hanqiu's words are not finished, "If it is clear that there is no problem, it will not be used to reply to me, let people from the same place identify each other, and only those who have no problem can be put into the city, those of unknown origin, give them a little food, and let them go farther to Wuyang City." ”
"Yes, Wechen will do it."
Song Jiang just went out, and he took a look at the maid who came in, this is Ziye, who has a very good reputation on their side recently, and Liu Zhuan, who is in charge of farming, is extremely capable.
Ziye bowed to him and quickly entered the house, and Song Jiang pricked up his ears to listen to the movement inside as he walked outside.
"Slave and maid see the princess."
"Excuse me, I haven't seen you for the past few days, aren't you staring at the work in the field? Why did you come back all of a sudden? ”
Ziye stood up and hurriedly replied: "The slave maid came back for this matter, Lord Liu said that the rice will be harvested in a few days, I heard that many homeless people were stopped outside the city, send the slave maid back to ask you, can you let them help then, as long as you ensure that they are fed, they will be willing to contribute." ”
"You're well-informed." Xia Hanqiu didn't refuse, "When you find out, you will naturally let people into the city, and I don't care if you want to ask someone to help or do anything, but Lord Liu seems to be in a hurry?" ”
"Yes, Lord Liu said that this day is unstable, and it is better to harvest the grain quickly, so as not to suffer losses."
I see, Xia Hanqiu nodded slightly, "I'll go back and let the master do the trick, so as not to catch up with the rain." ”
Ziye has been running outside these days, looking a little darker, but her spirit is better, and when she heard this, she immediately smiled and squinted, "The slave and maid thank the princess for the people." ”
"Why do you thank you, I can't run around in my current situation, you and Zishuang are outside to pay more attention to me, be my ears, and report anything to me immediately."
"Yes, slave and maid obey." (To be continued......)
PS: Happy holidays, everyone.
