Chapter 211: Counting is Counting
Sun Beiji, who entered the palace again, was a little gasped.
As soon as he entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, Lu Dou intimately moved a wooden pier, and Zhang Shouzhong helped Sun Beiji to sit on it.
Listening to Sun Beiji's somewhat difficult breathing, Chen Yicong asked people to bring tea again.
Sun Beiji drank tea and sat there in silence again, and it took a while for his face to turn from white to red.
"So Elder Ge walked all the way back from the north gate?" Chen Yicong asked with a frown.
Sun Beiji was a little ashamed, "Yes." β
"Why are you running around like this at this age?" Chen Yicong looked at Zhang Shouzhong with some reproach, "You should shout the sedan chair." β
"Lao Chen is happy," Sun Beiji smiled...... "just forget it." β
Zhang Shouzhong was also a little embarrassed, "The minister also forgot." β
Chen Yicong laughed half angrily, and several other scholars in the Heart Cultivation Hall couldn't help laughing, and the hall was full of happy air.
When was the last time it was so easy? Even Zhang Shouzhong couldn't even remember, he looked at Chen Yicong on the dragon chair, and felt sincerely happy in his heart.
He still remembers his worries and anxieties when he heard that Chen Yicong personally led troops to exterminate the Qingpao bandits. After leaving Jiangzhou, this kind of news came from the secret letter of the military department again and again.
Chen Yicong's northern tour was full of variables, the original plan for this northern tour was only two months, after all, it was only to send a batch of armaments to the north, but because Chen Yicong was unwilling to be idle along the way, it took a month to walk from Pingjing to Jiangzhou.
When they arrived in Zhuozhou, Chen Yicong sent a message back, saying that he might stay longer, Zhang Shouzhong and Sun Beiji really mentioned it in one breath - because according to Chen Yicong's previous performance, the meaning of this sentence is basically equivalent to "I want to try it in person, and I will talk to you first."
However, it didn't take long for Chen Yicong to suddenly change his mind and return from Zhuozhou quickly.
Sun and Zhang's mood stumbled, happy for a while and sad for a while, especially a few days ago, they suddenly learned that a large number of gold thieves appeared in Jiangzhou and Chuzhou, and Chen Yicong happened to lose contact at this time.
But look at this radiant young man sitting on the dragon chair right now...... Sun Beiji's eyes were a little moist again.
The officials present began to report to Chen Yicong one by one the important matters that had been waiting for approval for nearly half a month.
Obviously, in these days outside, although Chen Yicong only drew a circle on the opinions given by Sun Beiji and others most of the time, and rarely gave a clear reply directly, he obviously spent every report from the north and did not relax.
When it was Zhang Shouzhong's turn, Chen Yicong stood up and moved the confinement for a while, and asked the others to temporarily retreat, leaving only Sun and Zhang in the palace.
After everyone left, Zhang Shouzhong talked to Chen Yicong about the strange "defending the city" a few days ago.
"I know a little bit about this." Chen Yicong replied calmly, "The soldiers of Chuzhou are not allowed to move by order of me. General Xue is not a protester, but just a secret order from me. β
Zhang Shouzhong was stunned for a moment, "The emperor has long known that there will be a fake siege in Pingjing?" β
Chen Yicong shook his head, "When I gave him the secret decree, it was still the end of May. At that time, it was because I met Shin Jichuan and Chang Sheng, and I felt that the movement of the gold thief this year was a little too quiet. In addition, the gold thieves have been going west since last year, so I wonder if they will break in from other places. "Feilu
Sun Beiji frowned, "The southwest and northwest are steep mountains, and it is still difficult for people to pass, let alone cavalry?" The golden thief suddenly led an army of 300,000 from the sky, which-"
"There are no 300,000," Chen Yicong interrupted, "and those people are not Jinren, from soldiers to horses." β
Sun and Zhang were in an uproar.
ββ¦β¦ Is it to see Ange? Zhang Shouzhong reacted first.
Chen Yicong half-lowered his eyes, and the smile on his face was a little mocking and cold, "Yes." β
He paused for a moment, then added, "Those people are just mountain bandits who have changed their skins, and the total number is less than five thousand. β
As soon as the words "five thousand" came out, everyone was stunned again, and the entire Heart Cultivation Hall was silent for a while.
"But the number reported by the Jiangzhou Ram is 300,000." Sun Beiji was a little puzzled, "Three hundred thousand, five thousand...... That's not far from it. β
"Ram En is not wrong, they are just estimates, from the county to the province, everyone is afraid of being killed by the gold thief, and after exaggerating layer by layer, the total is so much," Chen Yicong said, "Because the people who have really fought this group of people head-on, that is, only the garrison of Jiangzhou Mansion." β
"What!?" Zhang Shouzhong was dumbfounded, but quickly reacted, "This is what the emperor saw with his own eyes?" β
"Pretty much." Chen Yicong replied.
This answer obviously did not satisfy Zhang Shouzhong, he frowned and said solemnly, "The news that the military department has received in the past few days has always been that our army is fighting fiercely with the Jin soldiers between Jiang and Chu, and the number of troops lost every day and the number of gold thieves exterminated are also tens of thousandsββ"
"It's just a matter of calculating." Chen Yicong said softly, "Didn't you also fight fiercely with the rebels of Jian'an Pavilion for a few days a few days ago? β
Zhang Shouzhong's throat moved, and he was speechless for a while.
"If you want to fool others, first fool yourself." Chen Yicong smiled, "There happened to be a straw bale pioneer under Li Ran, the guard general of the Jiangzhou Mansion garrison, who was fighting with these 'golden thieves' in the area of White Snake Ridge. β
ββ¦β¦ Be...... Is it fake? β
"Fake." Chen Yicong said in a low voice, "But it's good, I also specifically told Li Ran not to break it, and he will report whatever he says." The combined barracks of Jiang, Chu, and Qin had nearly 800,000 troops, and this surprise attack was not painful, so there was no need to worry about it at all. β
Sun Beiji's eyes narrowed slightly, "Then the emperor...... Do you want to do what you want? β
"Yes." Chen Yicong nodded, "When I saw Chang Sheng in May, I learned about some new movements in the Arslan Division, and with the group of blue-robed bandits I met in Jiangzhou earlier, I feel that this year may be different from previous years. β
Zhang Shouzhong and Sun Beiji both held their breath, and the two of them really realized at this moment why Chen Yicong wanted to retreat from others.
Chen Yicong said softly, "I think that the gold thieves, or the traitors who saw the Ange, probably want to see us transfer the army back and forth in the past half a month, exhausted, and finally concentrate in the Jiangzhou area...... In that scene, we also cooperated with a false shot, which is the best.
"Although the person of Ram En is straight, he is not stupid, although he has reported 300,000 now, but in half a month at most, he will also find some clues, this year's battle between the gold thief and us is by no means in the hinterland of my Great Zhou."
"Still in the North?"
"It is also possible to take Heikyo directly, and the Arslan tribe conquered an island country to the west last year." Chen Yicong said softly, "They have warships." β
