Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Wisdom of the Western Night
Even though Liu Qing now holds the control of the army, he has long been unconscious, and believing in Xiye, a little girl, is better than believing in himself.
After all, he really didn't think of the excellent idea of going directly to Luzhou City to ambush just now.
Next, he just needs to listen to the deployment of the West Night.
Taking advantage of the gap when the rebels had not yet arrived, Xiye directly led 20,000 people to Luzhou City.
In less than half a day, the army directly arrived at the city of Luzhou, like this kind of city, located in the hinterland of the Dragon Dynasty, there are no defenders in the city at all, even if there are, they are all secondary troops such as the box army.
On weekdays, it's no problem to be in charge of security in the city.
When they saw the menacing Red Armor Army, the officials and soldiers in the city were shocked, and the local prefect hurriedly went up to the city tower to ask.
"You are...... What for? ”
Xiye glanced at Liu Qing, and then handed him the python knife in his hand.
"This is His Highness's personal sword, it will definitely be able to scare him, just say that we are sent by His Highness to garrison to prevent the rebels from entering the city to do evil."
"Oh...... Good. ”
Liu Qing rode slowly forward, looking at the python knife in his hand, and then thinking of Xiye's words to explain himself, he couldn't help frowning, how could he ...... Do you always feel familiar?
After some negotiations, Liu Qing tied the python knife to the rope and was hung up, and when the prefect saw the knife, his heart suddenly felt a lot more relieved.
Immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.
However, when he entered the city, Xiye, who was riding on a horse, directly ordered: "Tie up all the officials in Luzhou."
As soon as he heard this, the prefect's face suddenly froze.
"You...... Aren't you people sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? What do you want to do?! ”
Xiye fell off the horse in one step, and then walked to the prefect and said: "Don't worry, my lord, we are indeed His Royal Highness the Prince's people, and we will never hurt you in the slightest, but now something will happen in Luzhou City, so I have to let you disappear for the time being."
"Hold it down!"
Next, in addition to the local officials, Xiye directly sent people to control all the leaders of the warrior clan in the city, and there will be a big drama soon, and there are inevitably people among these people who are in a gang with the rebels, once it is leaked, it is bound to fall short.
There are some things that Xiye has to guard, and the generals who watched the whole process on the sidelines were also shocked by Xiye's decisive temperament.
Especially Liu Qing, looking at the python knife in his hand, he felt more and more that he had been deceived, the prince had never changed the order at all, this Xiye was afraid that he had not only deceived himself, but even deceived the prince.
Everything is planned at the moment, and she is in charge.
But I'm only fifteen years old, so why do I have such brains?
But now that things have come to this point, he Liu Qing is indeed incapable of taking the lead, so let's wait for her to arrange it.
"Next, clear all the people at the gate of the city and lay an ambush."
"Liu Qing, go and put on the prefect's clothes."
"Control the castle tower, and if someone approaches this side later, kill it directly!"
Under the constant command, Xiye also felt a great sense of accomplishment in it, and the luckiest thing in this life was to meet His Royal Highness the Prince.
As for the second luckiest thing, that is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not keep himself by his side as a maid who couldn't get through the room, but served as a soldier.
Soon, when everything was ready, the West Night came to the top of the castle tower and waited quietly for the rebels to arrive.
It's approaching the afternoon.
But in the distance outside the city, the birds and finches looking for food in the snow began to fly in fright, and the next moment a large group of people and horses rushed towards this side.
The black pressed piece suddenly contrasted with the silver and white all over the ground.
When Liu Qing saw this scene, a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his back, this number was about thirty or forty thousand people, and the army that came was not those refugees, but thirty thousand fully armored regular troops!
Even if the 20,000 people under his command are all the top infantry transferred by the prince from Xiliang, 20,000 and 30,000 fight hard, even if they win in the end, it will be a heavy loss.
"Husband...... Madame, what shall we do next? ”
Xiye squatted behind the city tower, carefully looked at the troops coming by, and then said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, you can follow his words later, and then directly kill the leader, these 30,000 people are a plate of scattered sand, what are you afraid of?"
"Open the gates and welcome them in."
These guys are in the Yangzhou area, and everywhere they go, the local scholars open the city gate to welcome them, so ...... They will never doubt us. ”
Liu Qing nodded, and suddenly felt that what Xiye said made sense.
"But then again, madam, how can you know so much about the battlefield? It feels like you've been leading soldiers for many years. ”
Xiye smiled proudly: "That can't be helped, Your Highness is too partial to me, and gave me a divine book."
"What book?"
"The Art of War."
"Huh?"
When Liu Qing heard that it was this book, he couldn't help but scratch his head, he had read it himself, how could it ...... Are you still so stupid?
Soon, the army was pressed directly in front of the city gates.
Liu Qing followed what he had been taught in the previous night, and said tremblingly: "You ...... What do you do? ”
Jin Long stepped forward and shouted: "Jin Long, the second leader of the Yangzhou Righteous Army, will open the city gate, pay enough food and money, and ensure the safety of the people in the city, otherwise the city will be attacked immediately."
Seeing this, Liu Qing hurriedly panicked and said, "It turned out to be Master Long!" What are you doing in a daze! Hurry up and open the door! ”
Seeing this scene, Jin Long immediately smiled smugly, but he didn't want his name to make the prefect of a place so awe-inspiring one day.
Even Luzhou City was so easily occupied by himself, so the remaining cities on Huainan West Road would not be much to say, and it might not be long before the entire Huainan West Road would fall under his control.
Soon, the city gate was opened, and Liu Qing respectfully ran to the golden dragon horse.
"Oh, speaking of which, the lower officials and the families in the city, I hope that the dragon master will be here for a long time, so much land has been taken by the prince, just wait for the dragon master to ask for an explanation for us, the dragon master can come here, it is really expected!"
A series of horses were patted down, and suddenly the golden dragon fluttered, he was just a businessman, who would have thought that one day he would be able to enjoy the praise of these officials.
"Haha, don't worry, your land will definitely help you recover it."
"Don't talk about it, Master Long, the lower official will lead the horse for you, and he will definitely serve you well today."
Seeing that a generation of prefects was going to lead a horse for him, the vanity in Jin Long's heart suddenly rose to another level.
"Okay, the prefect is really good at being a man, the army is camped in place, you go into the city with me."
After all, Jin Long was still more cautious, and after carefully assessing the strength of the defenders of Luzhou City, he brought a thousand elite armor soldiers into the city.
When the west night above the city tower saw that the golden dragon was only carrying a thousand people, and even brought in all the high-ranking military commanders, leaving the whole army outside the city, he was overjoyed.
