Chapter 289: Besieging Suzhou

"My lord, my lord, wake up, Suzhou has arrived," the car stopped, and Wang Meng woke up Zhang Fan, who was sleeping.

Slowly opening his eyes, Zhang Fan felt a little uncomfortable, after all, he ate something when he got into the car, and slept when the car was driving, the bumpy feeling was conceivable, and now he was woken up, naturally he was a little unhappy.

"It's here, why is it so fast," Zhang Fan said with a slight complaint, "Let me sleep again," it seems that he is really tired, otherwise he would not be in such a hurry to come over, and when he arrives, he will have to sleep again.

"Your Excellency...... Your Excellency......" Wang Meng lowered his voice this time, pushed Zhang Fan and shouted, "General Qi is waiting for you here,"

"General Qi, just let him wait for a while, wait until I sleep well......" Zhang Fan was sleepy, so he said casually, suddenly, he seemed to react to what Wang Meng said, this time, he immediately woke up, quickly sat up, and asked Wang Meng, "You mean...... General Qi is waiting for me,"

Wang Meng nodded.

"Now,"

Wang Meng nodded again.

"Right here,"

Wang Meng nodded for the third time.

"How long have I been sleeping," Zhang Fan asked Wang Meng as he straightened out his clothes and smoothed out the wrinkles that had been made when he slept just now, "I mean, I didn't ask General Qi to wait longer, did I?"

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, the humble duty is on the road to meet the scout sent by General Qi, and I have asked about the humble position, and as soon as the car arrives, General Qi is already standing outside the camp to greet the adult, and the humble duty is coming to call the adult immediately,"

Hearing Wang Meng say this, Zhang Fan relaxed a little, at least he knew that he didn't delay much time, and most importantly, he didn't let Qi Jiguang wait too long.

After tidying up his clothes, Zhang Fan patted his cheeks with his hands, as if he wanted to drive away the drowsiness on his face, and then stepped out of the carriage.

"Lord Qi, it's been more than half a year, don't come unharmed," After Zhang Fan got out of the car, he saw Qi Jiguang standing not far ahead, looking at himself with a smile, and he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Lord Zhang, I'm really okay, but Lord Zhang, I haven't seen you for half a year, and if we meet again, I'll have to call myself an official," Qi Jiguang still smiled and said to Zhang Fan.

"General Qi is exalting Zhang Fan too much, this is all thanks to the emperor's blessing, Zhang Fan is just acting in accordance with the emperor's will," Zhang Fan hurriedly said.

"Hey, why should Lord Zhang be arrogant," Qi Jiguang said, "At the beginning of the year, you went to Mobei, although it was because of His Majesty's will, but Xiaguan has also heard a lot of rumors about you here, you can do this now, it is well deserved,"

"General Qi, let's stop quickly, Zhang Fan has not been in the official career for a few days, and he is praised by the general like this, I'm afraid his tail will go up to the sky," Zhang Fan said this, but there was also a smile on his face, and then said, "General Qi, let's go into the camp and talk again,"

"Alas, please please, look at me, patronizing and talking, but I forgot to invite guests into the door, this is not the way of hospitality," Qi Jiguang hurriedly led Zhang Fan into the barracks.

"The eunuch Wan Zhong, who was the supervisor of the army, is not here now, but he is going to rest," After entering the military tent, Qi Jiguang beckoned Zhang Fan to sit down and said, "Lord Zhang, I don't know if there is something wrong with you coming to Suzhou in the middle of the night,"

"This, Lord Qi, isn't Zhang coming here this time for the sake of those people who are now occupying Suzhou City," Zhang Fan said, "Although it is said that now that Lord Qi's people are here, this matter can be said to be the overall situation, but Zhang Fan still has some things to worry about in his heart,"

"Oh, what is Lord Zhang worried about, can you tell me about it," Qi Jiguang immediately became interested when he heard Zhang Fan say this, and hurriedly asked.

Seeing Qi Jiguang's appearance, Zhang Fan sighed in his heart, he knew that what he was going to say next was not something that would make people interested, and it was estimated that it would disappoint Qi Jiguang very much.

"The siege of Yangzhou has now been lifted, and the widows who occupy Huai'an Mansion, Songjiang Mansion, and Ningbo Mansion have made us pay a great price, but they have finally been wiped out by the whole book," Zhang Fan said, "Now there is only a group of Fusang troops entrenched in this Suzhou City, although it is only a matter of time before they are annihilated for Lord Qi, but Zhang Fan advises Lord Qi to understand this matter earlier,"

"......" After listening to Zhang Fan's words, Qi Jiguang was silent for a while, and then said, "Are you worried that if this matter drags on for too long, the DPRK and China will ......."

"Yes, this is exactly what Zhang Fan is worried about," Zhang Fan said, and he didn't wait for Qi Jiguang to finish speaking, and then spoke.

"Well, this is really a trouble," Qi Jiguang thought about it and said, "If it drags on for a long time, I'm afraid that not only Lord Zhang will be implicated at that time, but even I have trouble here, I myself am not afraid of those messy things, but I am afraid that they will make such a fuss, it will harm my subordinates and my jurisdiction, and now I am stationed in that place in Jizhou, in case something happens to Mobei at that time, and there is no one to defend there, let those Tartars break into there, They'll be able to get straight to the Jingshi,"

"What Lord Qi said is exactly, what Zhang Fan is worried about is this matter," Zhang Fan nodded and said, but he was a little embarrassed in his heart now, he just thought that this matter would drag on too late and bring adverse effects to many people, but Qi Jiguang was thinking about the overall situation, in comparison, he felt that he was really a little selfish, but he also comforted himself in his heart, in his opinion, he was still too immature.

"Then, do you have any way there," Qi Jiguang asked, "You must know that the group of Fusang troops is now stationed in Suzhou City, with the city gate closed, I also sent people to reconnoitre, and found that the four towers of Suzhou City have their people patrolling, I am afraid that it is not easy to raid, if you insist on attacking, our army's casualties will inevitably be very serious, so it is too cost-effective to deal with a group of enemies who have no way to retreat,"

"Well, this is also a trouble," Zhang Fan pondered, "Now it's up to the enemy soldiers in the city to open the door and come out by themselves,"

"This, aren't you kidding," Hearing Zhang Fan's words, Rao is Qi Jiguang has fought and killed countless enemies in his life, but after he heard Zhang Fan's words just now, he was still very surprised, "I have led troops to fight for so many decades, but I have seen a lot of strange things, and I have no morale, and I took the initiative to come out and surrender; There are also those who are in danger and fight to the death, but now, these enemies lock themselves in Suzhou City and don't come out, obviously knowing that they are not defeated by us, but they still want to live, so how can they take the initiative to open the city gate and come out?"

"What Lord Qi said is, but there are no absolutes in the so-called world, there are many things that seem impossible, but they really happened," Zhang Fan said with a smile, "Lord Qi can think about it, although Fusang is in the midst of war, and there are many forces on all sides, fighting each other, but in fact, in our opinion, they are simply fighting between gangs in the rivers and lakes, and even more than a thousand people can become a force of their own."

"Lord Qi can think about it, now that the war in Fusang is chaotic and cannot be unified, this group of enemy troops must have been sent by one of the forces, and if the place of that side of the forces learns the news, knowing that they are now short of manpower and sending troops to attack, then that side will inevitably be tired of fighting, and at that time, Lord Qi thinks they will not find this 10,000 army to go back to help the war,"

"You mean......" Qi Jiguang understood what Zhang Fan was going to say, but there were still many things he didn't understand, "I have also heard about the situation in Fusang that you said, and it is really like what you said, but how can you be sure that their main guild has been attacked by their place, and where did you get the news over there?"

"Hehe, Lord Qi doesn't know anything," Zhang Fan smiled and began to explain, "Here's the thing, this has to start from the time I first came to Jiangnan......

Zhang Fan said very quickly, and what he said was all about the point, and some irrelevant things were also skipped by him, and Qi Jiguang also listened very seriously, and while he listened, he was also thinking in his head.

"So that's what happened," after listening to Zhang Fan's explanation, Qi Jiguang said, "This Liu Shan really deserves to die, he is corrupt and perverts the law, the scale is so large, he should have been cut with a thousand knives, but he dared to cast a gold medal privately, pretending to be a saint, and dared to go to other countries to cheat, everything suffered in this land south of the Yangtze River should be counted on his head, but unfortunately, he actually cut himself, if not, he should really ask the saint to reopen the punishment of Ling Chi, so that he suffered enough. Anyway, being a eunuch is not a good thing, and the same is true of Liu Jin back then, if you want me to see, this eunuch is not a good thing,"

Zhang Fan listened to Qi Jiguang's words, a little speechless, it seems that Qi Jiguang's resentment against the eunuch is really not small, but now is not the time to discuss these, there are still many important things to consider at the moment.

"My lord, now that you know about this situation, should you have prepared early?" asked Zhang Fan.

"Well, you're right," Qi Jiguang said, "If it's really as you say, they must want to go back to Fusang when they open the city gate, so I'll send someone there to get their ships, and then let my men and horses guard there, and then we'll give them a two-sided attack, and the enemy will be attacked on the back,"
