After resting for two days, the army set out again towards the city of Donglai.

After the surrender of his soldiers in front of the battle, and under the repeated persuasion of Fang Yanzao, Qu Tutong finally agreed to go to Donglai City together, but he had not yet made a final decision on whether to join the Allied Army, saying that he would first investigate the people and things in Donglai City before making a final decision.

Fang Yanzao didn't care much about Qu Tutong's statement, and was even a little secretly funny.

As long as you get to Donglai City, with the means of the marshal, can you still escape?

Didn't General Li Jing also be reluctant to join the Allied Army? In the end, he was not tied up by the marshal... Well, I was invited to Donglai City, and now General Li Jing is not the same as being loyal to the marshal.

In fact, he also had an idea in his heart, this time in order to rescue Qu Tutong lost thousands of soldiers, this is not a loss in vain, when Qu Tutong still insists on not going to Donglai City, he plans to learn from the marshal's practice and tie Qu Tutong up... Well, please come to Donglae City!

As for what will happen and what will happen after Qu Tutong is invited to Donglai City, it is not something he needs to care about.

However, now that Qu Tutong voluntarily went to Donglai City, Fang Yanzao was even more happy, after all, now these soldiers are Qu Tutong's former subordinates, if Qu Tutong is forced, it will easily cause them to misunderstand.

Along with them, there was also the original Hedong City guard Yao Junsu. However, Yao Junsu went to Donglai City this time, not intending to join Su Shang's command.

Like Qu Tutong, even though Fang Yanzao repeatedly persuaded him, he still insisted on his loyalty to the Great Sui, and he was also unwilling to join the Allied Army.

He originally planned to leave alone, but later Fang Yanzao told him that Princess Yunyang was about to give birth, and since Yao Junsu considered himself a loyal minister of the Great Sui, he should visit on behalf of Yang Guang, and Yao Junsu changed his mind and agreed to go to Donglai City.

Fang Yanzao was very happy about such a result, and even had a little excitement in his heart, wanting to watch a good show. He wanted to know if Yao Junsu could still stick to his original intention under the means of the marshal.

……

In recent days, Su Shang has been particularly busy, busy with the military and political affairs of the Allied Army, and also busy with family warmth.

Five days ago, the population of Su Mansion increased again, and his second wife, Princess Yunyang, gave birth to a white and chubby boy for him, who was named Su Xin.

These days, Su Shang has hurried back home after taking care of the important affairs of the Allied Army every day, and there are two babbling little ones waiting for him every day.

As soon as the two little ones open their eyes every day, they will cling to him, staggering all over the house to find him, and if they can't find him, they will pout their little mouths and be unhappy, more clinging to him than their mother, and now there is a smaller guy, but this little guy doesn't like him very much, and always loves to stick to his mother.

In the Donglai camp, Su Shang packed up his pen and ink and other things, and was about to skip work again and go home early, but Du Ruhui walked in quickly.

"Brother Ruhan, look at your face full of spring breeze, is there joy in the family?" After Du Ruhui saluted, Su Shang asked with a smile.

"Yes, there is joy! It's just a happy event for the marshal, a happy event for our allies. ”

Du Ruhui handed Su Shang two small notebooks and said with a smile: "These are the two messages I received in the morning. Two days ago, General Li Jing had taken over Pengcheng County in its entirety, and he sent a letter asking if he needed to enter Jiangdu County immediately. ”

After successfully taking over Langxi County, Su Shang arranged for Li Jing to take full responsibility for the military expansion of the Allied Army in Langxi County in the name of the local rebels, so as to get as close as possible to Jiangdu County before the Jiangdu Mutiny.

Li Jing's military expansion has progressed very smoothly, in the past few months, he has successfully taken Donghai County and Xiapi County, plus the current Pengcheng County, in the past year, Li Jing has successfully taken the land of the three counties, expanding the actual scope of the Allied Army by nearly one-third, and successfully pushed the scope of the Allied Army's jurisdiction to the edge of Jiangdu County.

"The second news, Lord Fang Yanzao has successfully persuaded General Qu Tutong to lead the army to come to Donglai City, accompanied by Yao Junsu and other generals, but neither of them has yet decided whether to join the alliance. Three days earlier, they had repelled an interception and siege by the Tang army, capturing 25,000 Tang soldiers, who at this time had a total of 13,000 cavalry officers, of whom 3,500 were wounded. ”

Su Shang nodded, took the notebook and read it carefully, and said with a smile after a while: "I successfully took over Xiapi County in more than two months, Brother Jing is really powerful!"

Du Ruhui also nodded in agreement, "In less than a year before and after, he has won the land of three counties in a row, and General Li Jing can be called a military wizard!" ”

Su Shang pondered for a moment, and then summoned the secretary room to join the army, and said: "First, inform General Li Jing to temporarily train and rest on the spot, and prepare 100,000 soldiers to be ready to send troops at any time."

"Second, order General Xie Yingdeng to go to Pengcheng County immediately, take over 50,000 soldiers from General Li Jing, and immediately enter Xucheng County, ready to enter Jiangdu County at any time."

"Third, mobilize 50,000 cavalry from Donglai City, led by General Zuo Qiong, immediately stationed in Lianshui County, and be ready to enter Jiangdu County at any time."

"At the same time, order them that once there is a mutiny in Jiangdu, the three armies will enter Jiangdu County at the same time, and they must take over the entire territory of Jiangdu County in the shortest possible time..."

Du Ruyan couldn't help but be a little secretly frightened when he heard this, he originally wanted to remind the marshal that General Li Jing now controls nearly 150,000 soldiers, which is far beyond the upper limit of the allied army.

Unexpectedly, the marshal immediately came to draw a salary, divided the soldiers under General Li Jing into two, and at the same time mobilized 50,000 elite cavalry from Donglai City. However, the marshal's handling method is very clever, and the problem will be solved perfectly with a division of troops to prepare for war, which will neither hurt face nor feelings!

After writing the order for the army to be joined in the memory room, Su Shang said to Du Ruhui again: "Brother Ruhui, you will send a letter to General Su Dingfang and ask him to arrange for the soldiers to pick up Fang Yanzao and them."

"Yes! Subordinates understand. ”

Du Ruhui replied, and was about to retreat, but suddenly remembered something again, "Marshal, Yu Xiangguo's second son, Yu Xi, is in Donglai City, he asked his subordinates to send a letter to his subordinates yesterday, saying that he came on his father's order and wanted to see the marshal!" ”

"Where is this man now?"

Su Shang was a little surprised, although he was also the general of the town army of the imperial court, Lai Guogong, but he had never had much friendship with the court ministers, nor did he have much contact, and he was only famous for Yu Shiji. At this time, what is the matter with Yu Xi coming to find himself?

"Marshal Hui, this person temporarily lives in Nancheng Zuixiang Building!"

Su Shang pondered, "Let someone bring him to the barracks, and I'll meet him later!" ”
