Chapter 50: I'll Solve It!
Yingxuan galloped out of the south city gate, and finally successfully crossed the river before sunset and reached the south bank of Huaishui.
At this moment, it is already considered to have officially entered Jiujiang County.
In view of what Wang Cheng said, there had been various obstacles when the army was supporting, and Ying Xuan could not judge whether there would be rebel scouts around.
So he ordered everyone to reduce the movement as much as possible.
Approach the garrison at a slow pace and understand the situation before making plans.
The people who were sent to lead the way were not very bold, and they were all rough paths, although they were difficult to walk, but they were all smooth along the way.
After crossing a river again, the crowd really approached the vicinity of Shouchun.
On the bank of the river, the leader pointed to the camp with a fire not far away.
"That's Shao.bei or Quรจ.Bฤi, where the army of Huaiyang County is stationed!"
After speaking, he ran back without looking back, and he didn't even ask for the promised reward, for fear that Ying Xuan would arrest him.
Ying Xuan, who was originally going to give money, reluctantly withdrew his hand.
Said with a smile on his face.
"It seems that the locals really don't trust my Qin army soldiers very much!"
Zhang Han was a little dissatisfied, feeling that the other party's move was a bit insulting to Yingxuan's identity, and he lost his reputation when he spread it, and wanted to arrest him back and reward him before leaving!
Who knew that he was severely reprimanded by Yingxuan!
"What do you think? Is money so easy to earn? โ
"What kind of face? Does face make you full? Can I promote Di Bao? โ
"I didn't look at the Juyang County Order, and my head was about to be lost for some money!"
"You're so good you want me to spend it! People don't want that to be kind! You don't have a conscience! โ
Ying Xuan led the team to walk forward while muttering a lesson to Zhang Han.
Zhang Han replied helplessly.
"Didn't you say you were going to go on silent?"
Ying Xuan was stunned.
"Oh! Oh, yes! โ
I can only shut up!
The quieter group moved much faster.
It was not long before they approached the camp, but before they could show their heads, they heard the whistle sound, followed by the dull sound of drums.
The barracks immediately became agitated, and in just a few breaths, a group of soldiers in black armor and spears rushed out, followed by crossbowmen and sword-wielding sharp soldiers, their movements in an orderly and layered manner.
Zhang Han knew that this was discovered in advance by the surrounding secret sentinels, and immediately stepped forward to hold the dragon order to indicate the situation.
The county guard of Huaiyang County, who led the army, saw the token under the firelight and sent someone to fetch it to watch.
Immediately overjoyed after confirming that it was a dragon order.
"Disperse quickly and welcome the imperial reinforcements!"
When the soldiers heard this, they all took torches to make way, and Yingxuan led people forward.
Before he could get to the front, the county guard of Huaiyang greeted him and saluted.
"I didn't expect the imperial court to be so fast, and the secret letter asking for help from the lower official was sent out only one day later, and reinforcements were dispatched!"
"I don't know how many people Yushi brought with him?"
Ying Xuan was stunned.
Reinforcements? What reinforcements? Here are 30,000 soldiers mobilized by Huaiyang, plus tens of thousands of people in Sichuan County in the other direction, is it possible that they can't suppress this rebellion?
Huaiyang County Shou saw Yingxuan's puzzled look, and immediately understood something.
"Didn't you come to help?"
Ying Xuan could only say.
"We have come to help put down the rebellion on the orders of His Majesty, but our first task is to capture the mastermind of the rebellion alive and recover the important secrets that he has stolen."
The Huaiyang County Guard understands now, no wonder it wasn't the reinforcements he expected so soon!
He looked at Yingxuan's two hundred people as if he was unwilling, and he asked again.
"You're traveling light? Didn't bring more food and grass? โ
Ying Xuan didn't know how to respond, and in the news he got along the way, even the most pessimistic Wang Cheng had no doubt that the army of the two counties could easily suppress the rebels composed of chaotic people.
Not to mention that it will get to the point where you need to call for help!
Ying Xuan could only give him a comforting smile.
The county guard's face drooped on the spot and he sighed.
"Gotcha! The soldiers were already difficult enough, but now there are hundreds of more mouths! โ
Even so, for the sake of Ying Xuan's royal history, he still led Ying Xuan into the camp.
And vacated a few already empty tents for them.
These camp tents are low, small and very damp, how did Ying Xuan live in this kind of place, Zhang Han was afraid that he would not be able to stand it, so he wanted the county guard to let out the camp tent of the Chinese army, but was stopped by Ying Xuan.
"People didn't target us, this place is close to Anfengtang and the water vapor is great, and everyone else lives like this."
"We just came, and we used our power for personal gain without doing anything, which will only disgust the soldiers!"
Zhang Han had no choice but to nod, but he still whispered a few words to several forbidden soldiers.
Yingxuan, who didn't care, took Zhang Han into the military tent in the center of the barracks after being settled.
Under the oil lamp, the county guard in the camp frowned.
"Shouchun, as the old capital of the Chu State, has tall walls and a moat, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack."
"If it is tens of thousands of armor soldiers defending the city, it is understandable that the attack is so difficult, but the other party is only tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers and civilians!"
"It's really incomprehensible that we and other offensives have been easily extinguished a few times, so that the stalemate has lasted so long!"
The county lieutenant on the side was dissatisfied with the county guard's remarks.
"You don't know how to command troops, the person behind the other side is definitely a general who is very good at commanding troops, and he has been impermeable in defense several times, and he knows the direction of our attack clearly!"
"Coupled with the advantage of the terrain, it is difficult for anyone to take it!"
But the county guard doesn't care about that.
"It was said that the disaster that had been calmed down in a few days is now more than half a month, and not only is there not enough grain and grass to carry."
"Even the soldiers were killed and wounded nearly 10,000! In the other camps, there are already wailing all over the field, and if it drags on, I am afraid that the army will be disheartened, let alone attack the city at that time, it is good that you and I will not be punished by the imperial court's military law! โ
The county lieutenant was also anxious, but he didn't have much to do.
"Why should we be dealt with, even if Shouchun is difficult to attack, is it difficult for him to attack Sichuan County in the face of several small cities?"
"With his impatient temperament, there has been no news until now, and you don't have to think about it to know that he must be in the same dilemma as us!"
The county guard gritted his teeth and sighed.
"So what? Isn't it bad luck if he can't attack it? Pull him up, can we be spared by the court? โ
"Do you think Your Majesty doesn't blame the public?"
Seeing that the two top officials of Huaiyang County were about to quarrel.
The lieutenant and the lieutenant hurriedly spoke out to ease the relationship!
"The top priority is no longer to attack the city or not, but to ensure food abundance first!"
"The morale is already poor, and once the soldiers run out of food, the consequences are unimaginable!"
The county lieutenant also knew that the grain raising order had been issued for a few days, and the two nearest counties in the southwest, Anfeng County and Shen County, had not responded so far, and they had also sent people to supervise, but they were robbed and killed by a small group of rebels before they reached the halfway point!
As soon as the army moved, they scattered again into the river and into the reeds.
It's a headache for everyone!
Ying Xuan, who heard this, frowned, he didn't expect the matter to be so serious!
For now, it is better to stabilize the morale of the army.
"Grain and grass, this official can solve it for you, and you will tell me in detail about the recent battle situation!"
A few people in the tent looked up, and when they saw Yingxuan coming in, they immediately frowned.
I don't know where he got his confidence.
