Looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, An Chuxia didn't sell it, but what he said surprised the eight generals even more.

"There are few soldiers outside Nanning City, and that's because Lingnan Kingdom has been attacked."

"What ???" Several generals couldn't help but exclaim.

They all looked at An Chuxia who said this in disbelief.

"When I came, His Royal Highness Taisun was slaughtered or abused in order to prevent Nanning City from being breached.

He personally led the troops to attack Lingnan, so that the Lingnan army could return to the rescue to relieve the siege of Nanning City. An Chuxia said sincerely, with a deep worry on her face.

"You, do you mean the crown prince's grandson, in order to relieve the trapped Nanning City, he personally led troops to attack Lingnan Kingdom."

An Chuxia nodded slightly.

There is no reason for Lanyue to lead the troops deep into Lingnan to fight, help Nanning City solve the predicament, and hide his merit and fame.

At the very least, these generals should know who the rescuers are.

"It's too risky like this, His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun is the orthodox crown prince, and one day she will return to the capital and get back what belongs to her, how can she be allowed to take risks." Several generals said with disapproval on their faces.

Although the generals guarded the city at the border, they all got the news that the second emperor was the emperor, but there was no formal holy decree to announce to the world.

Even if these generals are not as delicate as civil officials, they have guessed that the throne of the second princess may not come from the right way.

I haven't heard of Emperor Qing'an's death, which makes more people unable to identify with the puppet emperor of the second princess.

is not like Lanyue, the crown prince, but after being canonized as the prince, the imperial court issued a formal official document to inform everyone in the country.

Even the people's agricultural tax in the current season was halved in the name of Lanyue, who became the crown prince, to show benevolence.

Because Lanyue was officially appointed as the next prince, whether it was a civil official or a military general, Lanyue would be more recognized as the heir to the orthodox throne.

Therefore, these generals were so anxious when they heard that Lanyue, the prince, had penetrated deep into the enemy army and only wanted to relieve the siege of Nanning City.

Xue Dagui suddenly stood up, "My lord, the last general will retire, I'll go and prepare." ”

Xue Dagui, who wanted to understand, knew that His Royal Highness Taisun was leading troops to attack Lingnan Kingdom, and realized the importance of their ambush and resistance this time and returning to Lingnan to reinforce the troops.

Don't dare to delay for a moment to go out and prepare.

After Xue Dagui left, An Chuxia looked at Song Chunlin, "General Song, you go to the barracks and select fifty soldiers with relatively large strength for me." ”

"Yes!" Song Chunlin didn't ask An Chuxia what he wanted these people to do, so he went out to do it.

An Chuxia's eyes flashed with satisfaction.

She asked the remaining six generals present, "In addition to the 5,000 soldiers taken away by General Xue, there are also people who are inclined to Zhao Jing'an.

How many soldiers will listen to our orders? ”

At this time, a middle-aged general surnamed Wang came out and replied: "General Zhao has not long been in the post of commander-in-chief, and most of the people who follow him are his subordinates when he was General Anping in the past.

Even if he becomes the commander, there are generals who are close to him, and the relationship is not so close, I am afraid that if something really happens, those people will not be too oriented to him.

Now the strength of the retreat into Nanning City is estimated to be more than 50,000 people, and Lao Xue took away 5,000 people under him.

Zhao Jing'an's previous position as General Anping was higher than ours, and he commanded 10,000 soldiers.

The remaining seven generals combined, led by more than 30,000 and less than 40,000 soldiers. ”

An Chuxia nodded, this general who was like a king made the distribution of personnel in the army very clear.

"Then tell me, if Zhao Jing'an rebels, will the subordinates he led when he was General Anping rebel with him?"

Several generals were silent for a while, and one of them, surnamed Li, shook his head, "Probably not." ”

"How so?!" An Chuxia asked.

"Many people follow Zhao Jing'an because they want to be promoted by him, and they don't have the heart to rebel, they are all from Tanglin.

The dearest and deceased all live here, and in order to climb up, there may be some impure thoughts.

But if Zhao Jing'an really wants to go out of the city to join the Lingnan Army, I'm afraid that some people may not necessarily follow. ”

An Chuxia heard this general's analysis, which coincided with what he thought, and his eyes showed approval.

"General Lee's analysis is very reasonable."

"In the past few days, I have heard some people say that I can't tolerate Zhao Jing'an, the former commander, and I am already thinking about how to deal with him.

He also said that the official was going to arrest and dispose of him on the grounds that he connived at his subordinates to rob the people. ”

"I'm afraid that General Zhao will really do something after listening to the rumors, and I hope that General Li can persuade him at that time."

General Li was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he nodded with a smile, "Yes!" My lord. ”

An Chuxia's eyes were dark, and there was a smile on the corner of her lips, as for how this rumor came about, no one knew better than her.

"Now you all go back to dinner! Only when you are full can you have the strength to do the next thing. ”

"Yes!" Several generals also knew that Zhao Jing'an had been acting abnormally in the past few days, and it was possible to listen to rumors and defect.

With their understanding of Zhao Jing'an for so many years, this person is narrow-minded, insidious and cunning, and he must hate this An Nujun who robbed him of his military power, how can he be arrested.

In the past few days, An Taifu has been assassinated several times in the barracks, and you can imagine how much Zhao Jing'an wants her to die.

At this time, several generals thought of the dozen or so carts of grain sent to the barracks today, and asked curiously: "I don't know where the adults got so much food?"

So that I won't be trapped in Nanning City and starve to death. ”

An Chuxia couldn't help but smile when he thought of Uncle Wu, who sent the grain with a painful look on his face, comparable to that he had taken him in.

"Who sent charcoal in the snow to supply the people of the city and the army with food, it is inconvenient to say now, you will know later."

"It's a big deal, I'm really curious, who has such a great financial resource to supply a city and eat food for about ten days.

Even if it is gruel, it will cost hundreds of thousands of catties of grain. Several generals couldn't help but sigh.

However, An Chuxia did not have such an exclamation, because she knew that the shrewd businessman was far more than that.

If the transportation is convenient, the grain can be transported out at will, and with his wealth he may be able to supply a city, and food for a year will not be a problem.

What's more, this is just the grain he secretly stored in a few granaries in Nanning City.

This big businessman, who is not generous, can take out so much grain at one time this time to supply a city.

I'm afraid it's more about gaining a good name for my son and paving the way for him to sit in that position in the future.

An Chuxia doesn't talk much about this topic, even if she doesn't say it, that Boss Su will skillfully reveal this matter in the future, press it on his son's head, and win a benevolent name.

"After you have eaten your fill, General Wang and General Li will take people and secretly organize all the people in the city and send them to the north of the city, which is the farthest away from the city gate, to hide.

We're going to act tonight, we can't sit back and wait anyway, it's the best defense to take the initiative. ”
