Brother Wanfu

Chapter 97

The imperial army retreated very quickly. If Qian Feng hadn't reacted swiftly, the imperial army would either be trapped under the city of Xuzhou at this moment, or be trapped by the empty city plan in the city.

But right now, the imperial army retreated quickly and left Xuzhou City without any damage.

Obviously, it was a pity for the Suzheng army, and they mobilized troops from several other nearby battalions to chase and intercept the imperial officers and soldiers.

Qian Feng avoided it cleverly, and led his army back to the court's camp after dawn the next day.

The officers and soldiers were not injured much, and his subordinates breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear, and had to admire General Qian's cautious approach.

"If it wasn't for the general's order to evacuate quickly, in this battle between the imperial army and the Suzheng army, we would probably lose out."

It's good that they came prepared, but Su Zhengjun had expected more earlier.

Just looking at the chase last night, one can tell that this is a deployment that was ordered in advance.

Qian Feng was cautious and quick to react, but the silver face of Su Zhengjun was even more predictable.

It's just that it is inconvenient for the soldiers of the imperial court to build up the ambitions of others and destroy their own prestige in front of their own masters.

It was Qian Feng himself who muttered, frowning.

"Silver face, is it really so easy for us to withdraw?"

The soldiers below were confused. If they retreated successfully, they retreated. Can they still lie?

They saw that Qian Feng's brows tightened even more.

"The Suzheng army didn't just deal with the officers and soldiers of the imperial court last night, it also dealt with the Guangsu army of Zhu's father and son."

Thinking of this, he suddenly looked in the direction of Guangsu Army.

".No way?"

*
Guangsu army camp.

Zhu Siwei didn't like to stay in the camp, but preferred to stay in the city.

The city is surrounded by walls, which is much safer than a camp with wooden fences.

But after the death of the original leader of the Guangsu Army, the army came into his hands, and he had to live with the generals just like the leader, so he could only send more people to guard the camp gate, so that no one could open the door easily. .

He thought, it would be great if he could win Xuzhou City. Xuzhou is a battleground for military strategists. If Guangsu Army wins Xuzhou City, he can justifiably live in Xuzhou City.

Su Zhengjun held onto the princess who didn't know the truth and refused to let go. If he couldn't get it back, forget it. It would be a good way to establish himself as a king.It's just that it's too conspicuous, and it's easy to attract a violent counterattack from the court. It's best to let Su Zhengjun absorb the firepower of the court for him in front, and he will act steadily in the back.
Zhu Siwei couldn't help thinking about the future.

As for his only son Zhu Hanchun, he thought that under his strategy, the Suzheng army and the imperial army would have to fight, and Zhu Hanchun must have won Xuzhou in this gap.

Counting the time, it's almost time for news.

Before he lost his thoughts, he heard shouting "Report--" outside and rushed to the door of the tent.

"Is it good news?!" Zhu Siwei raised his eyebrows.

But I heard the person who came to report panting.

"Boss, it's the young boss who led the troops back!"

"Huh?" Zhu Siwei was surprised.

If the son successfully occupied Xuzhou City, he would only come to welcome him.

Now that the man is back, it can be seen that he has lost the battle.

Zhu Siwei still cared more about his only son, "Is the young leader not injured?!"

But the people below said, "Looking back at the leader, the young leader is really injured and cannot ride the horse alone, and needs help from behind!"

Was it a serious injury? !
Zhu Siwei couldn't stay still for a while, and hurriedly greeted him outside the camp, and ordered loudly, "Call the military doctor, open the gate of the camp, and quickly let the young leader in!"

While shouting, the gate of the camp guarded by the Guangsu Army slowly opened.

Zhu Hanchun sat on his war horse at the head, supported by the guards behind him, before he sat up straight.

Zhu Siwei only had his son in his eyes. Seeing his son lowered his head halfway, he couldn't even raise his head to see his expression clearly, so he could only see the general appearance.

"Why did you suffer such a serious injury?! Doctor! Doctor!"

He couldn't wait for the doctor, so he rushed forward in a hurry, not wanting to get close to Zhu Hanchun's horse. When he saw the son on the horse, Zhu Siwei's mind went blank instantly.

He saw that Zhu Hanchun's face was pale to blue, his eyes were open, but when he looked at his pupils, the pupils dilated, and he was already lifeless.

"Ah!" Zhu Siwei took three steps back.

But it was already too late, he saw behind the so-called Zhu Hanchun's horse, there was a man wearing a silver mask, riding a horse slowly out of the crowd.

"First, we changed our minds on the spur of the moment, causing our Suzheng soldiers to injure more than [-] innocent people, and then it was the villa's plan to forcefully snatch the princess."

There was a pause at this point, and Zhu Siwei saw the coldness in the eyes beyond the silver face.

Yin Mian told him that the heavy wooden box that the Suzheng army transported to the junction of the wilderness at that time was indeed filled with ammunition.

The Suzheng Army fulfilled the contract, and gave the Guangsu Army as much as it gave to the Nancheng Army, and there was nothing tricky about it.

"Suzhengjun did what he said, and there is no hypocrisy."

After hearing these words, Zhu Siwei knew that it was too late to regret. He was terrified to the extreme, seeing that the camp was full of the Suzheng army he had let in with his own hands, he also knew that it was useless to counterattack.

For his current plan, he can only say that he was deceived by lard, and ask Su Zhengjun to be magnanimous and not take it to heart. In the future, Guangsu Army will only listen to Su Zhengjun's dispatch.

He wanted to let him go, and he would never be an enemy of Su Zhengjun again.

Isn't Su Zhengjun a loyal and generous teacher? !

But none of these words could be uttered, Zhu Siwei heard the man on the horse, and opened his mouth without any ups and downs under the silver face.

"It's not that Su Zhengjun can't tolerate you, it's me that can't tolerate you."

Zhu Siwei's heart trembled, seeing him draw out a sword full of cold light, and step forward on his horse.

*
Suzheng barracks.

The sedan chair for Princess Luan was ready, and Sun Wenjing and Mr. He told the princess about various things about meeting soldiers and civilians in the city in a few days.

The appearance of the princess is a big event, and for Su Zhengjun, it means rebelling against the imperial court, which has become a legitimate thing.

The princess not only needs to prove the innocence of the former prince, but also wins people's hearts for herself.

At that time, tens of thousands of people will come to Yanzhou City, and the princess will parade on the street for at least half an hour.

Qin Tian could almost imagine the scene at that time, how many people should have rushed in front of her, they wanted to pay their respects to the princess, and she wanted to accept their worship.

Of course, after this, the court soldiers and horses will not spare Su Zhengjun lightly.

Right now there is only one general, Qian Feng, who is here, and there will probably be more than twice as many troops dispatched in the future. Of course, there will be many assassins coming to attack, and even other methods against the princess will emerge in endlessly.

The dirty tricks that Zhu's father and son used against the princess before were just the beginning.

But these are all things that must be done as a princess, and no one can replace them.

Mr. He looked at the little girl beside him, who seemed to be younger than his youngest granddaughter, but what she had to go through was many times bigger than ordinary girls.

But she wasn't frightened, she just held her hands silently and listened carefully to what they said.

Mr. He secretly sighed.

At this moment, Daoist Zhang arrived suddenly.

He quickly stepped into the camp, but facing Sun Wenjing, Qin Tian and Mr. He who were all looking at him in unison, he did not make a sound for a while.

"What's the matter, Daoist?"

Zhang Shouyuan opened his mouth but was speechless, Mr. He simply let Sun Wenjing take the letter in his hand.

Sun Wenjing was also stunned when he saw it, and he muttered after being taken aback.

"The general merged with the Guangsu Army in one day and one night?!"

Zhu's father and son were killed, and the Guangsu Army was merged.

Not to mention Zhang Shouyuan and Sun Wenjing, even Qin Tian and Mr. He were speechless.

Originally, the Suzheng Army had just won Xuzhou City and doubled its territory, and they were already overjoyed. Now that they have merged with the Guangsu Army, they have expanded their territory and greatly increased their strength.

The whole tent was strangely quiet.

It was Sun Wenjing who came back to God first.

"It's really a magic weapon, the general really turned his soldiers into a magic weapon!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help turning his head and said to Qin Tian, ​​"With so many soldiers and horses in the city, the princess can feel at ease. The most important thing is that there are generals like generals!"

Sun Wenjing almost jumped up excitedly.

Qin Tian suddenly thought of what that "big brother" said to her before he left——

"Don't be afraid, soon, you will have more soldiers and horses."

Are these the city soldiers he laid down for her?

The little girl was stunned and didn't make a sound.

Only Zhang Shouyuan came back to his senses and glanced at her quietly.

Ten days later, Qin Shen led his troops back in triumph.

It's winter in the north, and the generals of the Suzheng Army were still worried about food and grass, but now they don't have to worry at all. In order to celebrate the Suzheng Army's victory over the generals of the Guangsu Army, Sun Wenjing slaughtered pigs and sheep, and gave them to the crowd. The soldiers and generals all added meat for three days, and it was like New Year's for a while.

When Qin Shen came back, he saw that everyone's faces were all glowing and red.

Before he got off his horse, Sun Wenjing and others had already arrived at the gate of the camp.

This was an astonishing event like a drama, Qin Shen got off the horse and was dragged to his tent by Sun Wenjing.

Qin Shen laughed softly, "I'm covered in dust and dust, Mr. allow me to clear my face and change into clothes."

It's not like going from Xuzhou to Yanzhou. It's a long way to come from the previous Guangsu Army's garrison.

Qin Shen took care of the Guangsu Army's previous soldiers and horses within ten days, and returned to this place. After thinking about it for a while, he realized that it took more than a little effort.

"General, hurry up! Then at night, I will clean up the dust for the general!"

Qin Shen nodded with a smile, and returned to his tent.

A lot of people came and went to the princess's camp, but the princess was not among them. The servant girl said that the princess was probably walking outside at this time, taking the rabbit for a stroll.

As soon as Qin Shen heard it, she knew that it was her stupid rabbit, Hui Fat, who was talking about teasing the bird and walking the dog, but she slipped up the rabbit instead.

He could almost imagine a man and a rabbit in a daze in the wild.

There was a touch of softness between Qin Shen's eyebrows and eyes.

It can be seen that she has gradually adapted to the current life.

He made up his mind and returned to his tent.

But Qin Tian, ​​who was wandering outside, also heard the news of the general's triumphant return.

She was stunned, and for a moment she didn't care about being gray and fat, she turned her head and ran towards the camp where the two were next to each other.

The personal guards are guarding in front of the tent, and others are in the tent.

As soon as Qin Tian went over, she saw the guard salute her, "The princess is well, the general is changing."

These words blocked the little girl's footsteps outside the heavy curtain of the tent.

She didn't come close for a while, but followed the crack of the door blown open by the wind, and just saw the person in the tent.

He turned away from the hanger.

His slender figure is now in the gap between the curtains. His lower body is wearing dark green trousers and black boots, but from the waist up, it is completely different from the lower body.

The young man's delicate waist was bare, and his strong back was connected upwards, but was bound obliquely by a white cloth belt. He lowered his head and picked up the white coat and was about to put it on. He seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly said something.

"Why don't you come in and see?"

The voice passed through the door curtain to Qin Tian's ears, and only then did she realize that she had been spying on him a few times and was caught by him.

After rubbing it for a while, the little girl's ears seemed to be covered with oil and caught fire, and her ears burned instantly.

Not only that, but a pair of eyes were also a little hot.

She turned away hastily.

Qin Shen heard a series of rattling sounds, and saw that Shui Lingling's big eyes outside the curtain had disappeared, leaving only a little familiar scent of medicine rushing in along the wind.

The corner of Qin Shen's mouth couldn't help curling up.

Compared to when she was in Liefeng Shanfang, she opened her eyes wide, ready to watch him apply the medicine, but now she knows how shy it is.

But she was still a little girl.

Qin Shen shook his head with a faint smile, and put on his clothes.

Qin Tian ran away, although there was only a few steps away from his tent to her own, but she was so hot that she was sweating.

She wanted to find a fan to fan herself, but in this cold weather, she didn't know where she had received it for a long time.

Qin Tian could only drink half a cup of herbal tea to "cool off the heat". Hearing the wind blowing outside, he thought he could go outside to cool off. When he went outside, he remembered that she had just run away in a hurry and threw the gray fat outside up.

The nearby guards all knew that she had a gray rabbit, so they wouldn't catch it and roast it, but that didn't mean that Hui Fei wouldn't run off to other places.

Qin Tian hurriedly went to find the stupid rabbit. The rabbit had just arrived from Qingzhou not long ago, and he would be in trouble if he encountered a bad eagle who was not familiar with the place.

She went to the place where the rabbit was just walking, and saw the gray rabbit at a glance. The rabbit was still in the same place, and she got a handful of vegetable leaves from somewhere, and was devoting herself to eating.

Qin Tian walked over and saw the cook Juanzi coming from the side, and stepped forward to salute her.

She raised her hand and heard Juanzi say.

"The princess's rabbit is really fat. If it was in our former home, it would be sold for a good price."

Juanzi looked at the fat rabbit with a smile, and realized something was wrong after saying this sentence. The princess's rabbit was kept for fun, so how could it be sold at a price?

"Don't blame the princess, it's a woman talking nonsense."

Of course Qin Tian would not blame her, but just asked with a smile.

"You used to raise rabbits at home?"

Juanzi replied that he had nothing to do and had been raising it for several years, "Speaking of which, at the beginning, it was a female rabbit with a big belly that the husband of a peasant woman saw in the field. He didn't bring it home, so he just stuffed it to me and asked me to take it. I went home to raise them, and later raised more and more, earning a small half of the dowry."

Qin Tian listened, "It seems that you have known each other very early."

Speaking of her husband, Juanzi talked a lot.

She said that she had known each other for a long time, "My husband's family and my aunt's lived in the same village. I often went to my aunt's house. I met him when I was seven or eight years old. I never thought of marrying him."

Juanzi laughed.

It's been a long time since Qin Tian heard others talk about the happy past in her memory, so she asked.

"Then how did you get married?"

Juanzi bit her lip when she asked her this question.

"It's a little embarrassing to say that marriage is the order of my parents and the words of the matchmaker, but I was always with him at that time. I was happy when I saw him, and sad when I couldn't see him. Sometimes when I think of being with him I couldn't help but blush and heartbeat when we were together. If it was in front of him, I wouldn't know what to say
"It's the same with him. He always sneaks into my village. Once, he gave me the peach hairpin I lost. He ran back and forth in the rainy day. I took the peach wood hairpin and stood under the eaves that day. He was smirking in the rain, and I knew that I might not be able to marry someone else, I only have this one person in my heart, how can I marry someone else?"

Juanzi talked about her husband in memory.

Qin Tian hugged Hui Fei and listened carefully.

At first she was just listening to a story, laughing with Juanzi as she recalled, but the little girl stopped laughing.

Juanzi was still telling her story, but Qin Tian thought of himself inexplicably.

　Good evening! Goodnight.
