Suzhou, Changye City.
The second prince stood on the city wall, looking at the high country troops
in the distance-after several battles, their number became a bit more. The
continuous camps lined up on both sides of the official road, and you can see
everywhere around the city. Fluttering flag.
Obviously, Gao Guo has surrounded the city on three sides.
"I'm here for the first time, can you please explain to me the situation of
the battle?" Ning Qianshi turned around and looked at the three people behind
him-two of them were the chief officials in charge of garrisoning here. They
were Suzhou Mu Li An and Feitian General Zhou Shikai. Although the third
person was wearing a uniform and was not a Daqi official, all the officials on
the scene treated her respectfully-this person is the Fei family in charge,
Fei Chuxiang.
"Although I'm not good at leading soldiers in battle, I can still say a few
words from the emperor. If there is any need, you can just speak up."
The Prince's remarks in Nuan Pavilion were not a joke.
His memorial invitation soon received the approval of his father-as to how it
was obtained, Ning Qianshi did not know the process. According to the order,
the Shangyuan Privy Council will mobilize more than half of its forces to
support Suzhou in order to prevent the situation from further deterioration,
and Ning Qianshi is also on this list.
In order to inform him of the trip, Ning Weiyuan even went to the greenhouse
with the approved memorial in person.
When I arrived in Suzhou from Shangyuan City, it was already early November.
"His Royal Highness is humble." Li An smiled and stroked his beard. "You can
take the Privy Council alchemist to reinforce Suzhou. That is great news for
us."
"That's the case." General Feitian echoed, "Don't look at the enemy's
publicity, in fact, there is no way to take the Suzhou Iron Triangle. When
January comes, when the earth is snowing, the more they collapse, the faster
they will collapse. ."
"Oh? But the news I received is that Suzhou has lost four places and the
situation is precarious."
"This..." General Zhou paused. "The final general hasn't found out what's
going on in the west \- but he didn't hold on to it for a month. It's really
unreasonable. But please don't worry, your Highness. It will definitely be
reversed here, and I will dare to guarantee my life in the end!"
Ning Qianshi smiled, but did not expose the other party's remarks.
Except for the border, all other states have unified troops. Now Suzhou has
been swallowed by more than half. Zhou Shikai, the commander of the local
garrison, is still shrinking in the city of Changye, which explains the
problem.
"Can the general take it seriously? There is no joking in the army."
"Look, your majesty," the other party pointed towards the north and south,
"there is Tianxin City in the south and Weibei City in the north? Plus this
Changye City? The three places are horns to each other. This is also the case
that the other party only dared to encircle three sides, but did not dare. The
reason for the rash decision. Once they have the intention of crossing our
side and going straight to Youzhou? Our army can take the initiative to
attack? Cut off his backup and flanking the two wings? The enemy will be
defeated!"
"What if the opponent storms?" Ning Qianshi pretended to be quite interested.
"Hahaha... Please rest assured, your Highness. Siege has always been a
difficult task. The high country's offensive pace is too fast? Lack of siege
equipment? Now that it is logging and building, it will be next year. Besides,
Changye City still has Fei family. Sit down, don’t be afraid of the opposing
alchemist’s conspiracy. In short, you can reciprocate to the sage, the high
country’s offensive is at the end of the force? Unsurprisingly, the next thing
should be settled at the negotiation table."
"It was the Fei family's duty to defend the Suzhou area? I just solved a few
gangsters who wanted to attack Changye at night, so I shouldn't be in
trouble." Fei Chuxiang wrote lightly.
"Master Li! Master Zhou!" Suddenly a soldier ran up the city wall and reported
loudly, "The high country army sent an envoy and said that they wanted to talk
to the two!"
"Let the messenger come in." There was a hint of joy in Li An's eyes? But it
quickly returned to normal. He bowed his hand to Ning Qianshi, "Sure enough?
They also know that they can't hold on for long."
Leizhou and half of Suzhou are both in rivals. Can you hear the news of the
envoy's visit? The city guard's first reaction was joy. The second prince
calmly looked to the west, it seemed that the stability of the past hundred
years had worn away their due spirit.
"Huh...it would be best to end early." He said leisurely? "After all,
Shangyuan still has more important things waiting for me to go back and deal
with it."
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed. Fei Chuxiang said with a blessing? "His Royal
Highness wants to go back to wave the green hair and indulge in ink painting?
Don't be so eager? You have just arrived at Changye City, so I have to wait
and do my best. Fei's family has prepared a dust feast. I hope you can admire
it tonight."
"Oh? Do you know what I like?"
Ning Qianshi couldn't help but glanced at her twice.
As a rare woman in the family in charge, Fei Chuxiang will never be too young,
but in appearance, she is actually similar to a woman in her thirties.
As far as he knows, this person is not an emotional one.
"Of course," Fei Chuxiang covered her mouth, "Fei's custody will not
disappoint you."
...
That night, the Fei family mansion.
The lobby is brightly lit, and the lights are staggered. Even if the high
country army is stationed not far outside the city, it will not affect the
holding of this dust washing feast. After ten days of siege, Changye is still
safe and sound. This has allowed the upper class to form a consensus that
enemy forces lacking siege methods cannot truly threaten the Suzhou Triangle,
and the reinforcements of the Privy Council let them put down the last trace
of worry. .
"General Zhou, did the envoys sent by Gao Guo say anything?" Ning Qianshi's
expression was already a little drunk after the third round of drinking, he
patted General Feitian on the shoulder and asked.
"Haha... Your Highness, this is a military secret, so I won't be able to
disclose it." The other party also said with a sullen expression.
"I can't do it? If it were your Royal Highness, you would have said it?"
"Ah, this... is the rule." Zhou Shikai scratched his head, and finally sighed,
"Hey, just say a few words at the end, you can go to other side of the story,
anyway, other people in Gyeonggi will know. They are. I have a great appetite,
saying that I want to cedicate Leizhou permanently. Is this something that the
future will be able to do? I still have to report it, and wait for the person
above to decide."
"Oh, do these thieves think that no one in Qiguo can fight?" Ning Qianshi
thumped the table.
"The final general feels the same way~www.mtlnovel.com~ After all, they will
have less than 100,000 people, and they will have to return to the Leizhou
line in winter. By next year, even if the garrisons in other places toss
again, they should be able to come here. At that time, it’s not always the one
who will die!" General Zhou had another drink, "His Royal Highness, can the
general ask you a question too?"
"you said."
"At the end I heard... Your Majesty's body didn't seem to be very good before.
I wonder if it has recovered a little now?"
"You are also very bold about this question." Ning Qianshi smiled
disapprovingly, "Don't worry, the state of the father is much more stable than
before, not to mention that His Royal Highness is also fully prepared, and
there will be no trouble in Gyeonggi. "
"That's good, so good." General Zhou showed a lucky expression.
After everyone was full of food and drink, Fei Chuxiang led the second prince
to a side hall in the Fei family courtyard.
"This is a gift prepared by Fei's family for you. I hope that your Highness
will not dislike it." She made a gesture of request, "I will be placed next to
this hall for the entourage you brought. There are also maids in the hall. Do
you have any Just ask them directly. Then, take a good rest and I will retire
first."
