Chapter 98 The surprise attack on Suzhou (4)

"You, go over and knock her out." Qingwen ordered softly as soon as she returned to the tent. Li Hu was stunned and turned around and looked at the girl who stood respectfully two meters away.

"Didn't you hear this palace's order?" Qingwen said coldly again.

Li Hu was shocked and responded quickly. Then he stepped towards the girl and stretched out his big hand and slashed away without hesitation. The girl fell down with a hump. Li Hu hesitated for a moment and still reached out to help her.

"Hold her there, hurry up." Qingwen ordered, Li Hu didn't dare to hesitate, so he carried the girl and put it on the grass in the tent.

After he walked back, Qingwen whispered: "She will be your woman from now on."

Li Hu looked at Qingwen in surprise, and Qingwen waved her hand and said, "Go out and stand up."

"No!" Li Hu responded quickly and stepped out.

Lu Qi calmed down and quickly walked to the camp gate. He saw outside the camp gate from a distance. It was said that it was a camp. In fact, the soldiers were resting in the open air. There was no camp fence around him. They were just stationed in different parts. Lu Qi came here and could not bring marching objects. Lu Qi's commander's tent was obtained from Huating County.

"The lower official Hong Xiufeng, welcome the king's envoy." Lu Qi arrived at the camp gate and greeted him respectfully.

The person who came was a eunuch, about forty years old, with a good facial features and fair skin. There were ten soldiers behind him. The eunuch looked at Lu Qi and said, "Which army are you from,"

"The Xiaguan is the subordinate of Wu Shengjun. According to the order of the Jiedushi, he led Qi Qian to Suzhou quickly." Lu Qi answered calmly with his waist.

"Wu Shengjun, why didn't you hand over Zhiwen first when you came?" the eunuch asked in a soft voice.

"The officials who were informed of the literature, but because they had not come back, they dared not enter Wuxian County. The soldiers were tired and stationed here. The officials planned to go to Wuxian County to respond in person tomorrow morning." Lu Qi responded respectfully.

The eunuch nodded, and Lu Qi said respectfully again: "The king's envoy comes to night. Please go in and rest. The emperor and the king's envoy set off tomorrow morning."

The eunuch hesitated and stepped into the military camp. While walking, he looked at the soldiers resting dozens of meters away and walked into Lu Qi's handsome tent. As soon as he entered the handsome tent, Lu Qi was stunned for a moment. It turned out that Qingwen did not leave, but sat in the innermost place. Next to her was the girl from Kunshan County, with her back facing out.

The eunuch naturally saw two women. He just glanced at him and turned around, then said, "What is General Hong's official rank?"

"It is the Zhaowu lieutenant, the Wusheng Army's Left Camp Commander, and now he is ordered to lead the army to Suzhou." Lu Qi responded respectfully.

"Are you just a captain Zhaowu? Why isn't the leader of the regiment army?" the eunuch said in surprise.

"It was my brother who said that no one was willing to come to Suzhou, so he ordered his subordinates to come." Lu Qi explained why he did not say that he was a high-ranking official. First, he was too young, and second, his military armor in his tent was not a coach armor, and details were most likely to be missed.

"What is your brother?" asked the eunuch.

"My brother is the marching of Wu Shengjun, Sima Hong Xiuzhang." Lu Qi replied respectfully.

The eunuch nodded and immediately thought he understood. He asked a commander to bring a large army to Suzhou, so he naturally came to seek promotion. No one wanted to come to Suzhou. It was simply the marching of the Wusheng Army, Sima Renren.

"We are looking at your army, and the military equipment is still OK. How many of them are wearing armor?" asked the eunuch.

When Lu Qiyi heard this, he felt half relieved. He said respectfully: "My Lord Hui, 90% of the new soldiers in the county are wearing armor, which is the few new soldiers in the county. Master Zhou, the governor of Wusheng Army, attaches great importance to this Eastern aid. He said that Suzhou is the granary of the Yue Kingdom and cannot be lost. If the troops are insufficient, as long as the court allows it, he can send another 10,000 troops to the east."

The eunuch smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, our family will report to His Highness the King of Trustees, and we will also speak for the Emperor Hong Du. I believe that the Emperor Hong will be General Hong tomorrow."

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord." Lu Qi responded with respectful military salute.

"Okay, we're back." The eunuch said with a smile.

"It's not suitable for adults to rest here, but it's a hard work for me." Lu Qi responded respectfully.

The eunuch nodded and turned to an amateur. Lu Qi kept sending him out. While walking, he asked the eunuch's surname was Zheng. He was the palace supervisor of the inner palace of King Xin. If he could become an envoy, he was naturally the confidant of King Xin.

When Lu Qi returned to the tent, he saw Qingwen standing alone on the pavilion. He smiled and stretched out his arms to hug his soft body. He was very satisfied with Qingwen's wisdom and cooperation. The details of the existence of a woman in the tent would greatly reduce the eunuch's suspicion. He even believed that Lu Qi could command the army because of nepotism.

"She's dizzy?" Lu Qi asked with a smile.

"Yes, when she heard the words, I made Li Hu knock her out and promised her to Li Hu." Qingwen replied softly.

Lu Qi was stunned and nodded, "You did the right thing, and it's only suitable for you to do it on my behalf."

"It's good that the master can understand." Qingwen said softly.

Lu Qiyi smiled, leaned over and kissed her, and then whispered: "General Yu is behind the tent, let's go to Taihu Lake together in the future."

Qingwen nodded shyly, Lu Qi let her go and asked Yu Huaxuan to enter the account.

Yu Huaxuan walked into the tent and said naturally: "The Lord, the one who came to Zheng Gongjian, was the confidant of King Xin. He came mainly to observe the military situation, and he should have no doubts."

Lu Qi nodded, and General Yu said again: "The current military power of Wu County should be mainly the three thousand Hu Ben Guards of King Xin. After the departing tomorrow, you can ask the scout to go to Wu County to see it. If the Hu Ben Guards guard the city, it means that the military power of Wu County has been transferred to Changshu County, which means that the military power of the guardian King Xin’s mansion will be very weak."

Lu Qi nodded, General Yu continued, "Even if the defense is weak, it is difficult to capture it. Because there will be no more than 200 troops allowed to enter the city, there are two plans. One is to enter the East City Gate first, and turn to the South City Gate to serve as an internal supporter. After the South City Gate's military force enters, the South City Gate combines four hundred troops to seize the South City Gate, and then the army enters the city. The other is to only have two hundred troops to enter to meet King Xin, and then capture King Xin."

Lu Qi thought for a while and said, "Using the first solution, it is difficult to win the Souvenir King with 200 military forces, but it will alert the enemy. It is better to unexpectedly enter the city."

"I also think that the first plan is better, and the second plan is very passive, because I may not be able to meet King Xin. Even if I see him, King Xin's Wuwei will be difficult to deal with. It is better to control the situation after the army enters the city." Yu Huaxuan responded.

Lu Qi nodded and asked, "Is it possible for those Tiger Guards to surrender?"

"The Lord should not have that hope. The Hu Ben Guard is a noble military. They may be afraid of death, but it is difficult to be cared about by the fields. The subordinates suggest that they be taken to Changzhou as serfs in the future." Yu Huaxuan replied.

Lu Qi nodded in a daze. Changzhou needed Tian Li very much because it was difficult for the brave army of the Central Government to disperse and farm. In fact, once the soldiers leave the army and reunite into an army, their combat power will be greatly reduced. That is, the combat power of the government system is not as good as that of the recruiting military system, and the key is full-time.

"Master, if there is nothing to do, my subordinates will surrender." Yu Huaxuan said tactfully.

"Okay, General, go and rest." Lu Qixiao said, Yu Huaxuan left after the military salute.

The next morning, the army set off. What surprised and relieved Lu Qi was that Xin Qiner and Xiaoqing stayed outside for a night but did not find a single escaped. But in fact, Lu Qi was soon reported that forty-seven people died at night, all of whom were absconding or instigating rebels who were spontaneously killed by soldiers. After Lu Qi heard this, he realized that these five thousand surrendered soldiers would actually support him. While he was relieved, he felt a little confused.

The army arrived ten miles away from Wuxian County in the morning. As Yu Huaxuan said, Wuxian County was almost three thousand Hu Ben Guards guarded by King Xin, and all the conventional military forces were transferred to Changshu County to participate in the war.

No wonder King Xin went crazy. His most beloved son, the heir to the throne, was actually lost and became a prisoner of the Tang Kingdom. He could not seek return in a low voice. Therefore, he wanted to break through the defense line of the Tang army and fantasize about joining the prisoners of war. Then the army entered Runzhou and forced Jiangning. He used victory to wash away the shame and took back his son with his army.
