Chapter 58 Support
When Zhu Sanlang and his party rushed back to the capital, Xu Shu and his party also waited for the belated support from Fucheng - there were not many people, only about 2000 people, led by two thousand-man inspectors. One is named Tian and the other is named Zhou.

At this time, although Xu Shu was quite dissatisfied with Fucheng's contemptuous attitude, she had to admit that 2000 more people were also 2000 people, which was still somewhat useful.

And according to her inquiries, both of them were young generals whom Governor Feng of Taizhou had been promoting in recent years.

Generally, those who can be reused at this age either have military talents, or have family backgrounds and connections in the military.

No matter which one it is, it will not be a person who is thrown over to die alone.

At this time, Xu Shu had already relied on the timely warning of the Al clan's deployment and the achievement of holding the small killer weapon of the Al clan's third prince, so she was able to participate in the meeting with Zhou Keping, Meng Xiaowei and others.

I have to say, this step is really not easy.

Although Xu Shu was far taller than them in terms of status, she seemed to be able to order any official in a county at will.

But really wanting to participate in political affairs, Xu Shu still realized that the bonus that status can bring is not that big, and more depends on actual achievements.

In the past, Xu Shu would be so busy that the county government would throw out any security issues, and she would not be able to interfere with the most important military affairs.

But now, although Xu Shu is more of a spectator, she is able to listen at least.

No, she was sitting opposite Captain Meng, listening to him yelling at the time, shaking off the private affairs of the generals in Fucheng.

Especially Dujun Feng, he looked like a baby who had just been stripped naked and bathed, which made it easy to see.

Xu Shu knew that Governor Feng was extremely lecherous and would always bring female prostitutes and male actors with him when he went to war. In the words of Captain Meng, he was "busy and busy" - of course, as soon as he said this, Zhou Keping Stopped.

Xu Shu also knew that Governor Feng liked to be extravagant, and he was the most ruthless in intercepting military equipment.

Xu Shu asked curiously:
"Then how did he secure his position as warlord?"

Captain Meng was silent, and then reluctantly admitted:
"It will be a little bit of a war."

Zhou Keping added:
"I only know how to fight a little bit. Governor Feng once pursued Hu soldiers for hundreds of miles, but he never got lost. This ability of knowing the way is far better than most generals."

No matter how dissatisfied the people in Chengyang County were, they still warmly welcomed the two lieutenants Tian Zhou.A banquet was specially organized for them, and Xu Shu also kindly provided fine wines—of course not those brewed by Cheng Fei.

Even for the two thousand soldiers they brought with them, the county government recruited support from various major clans and treated them to a full meal with meat.

After drinking and eating, the soldiers rested in the camp outside Chengyang County, waiting for dispatch tomorrow.

Zhou Tian and the others were led by Xu Shu and the others to the main hall of the princess mansion where guests were served tea.

That's right, this banquet was held at the Princess Mansion. In Captain Meng's words, it was necessary to shock them, in case they didn't listen to the command and make a fuss.

And Xu Shu, and even Pei Peng, who was far away in the capital, became tiger skins torn.

Captain Tian was kind and Captain Zhou was upright, but no matter which one, their cooperation was surprisingly good.

As soon as they sat down, they asked about the current situation:
"His Royal Highness, County Magistrate Zhou, Captain Meng, the specific situation has already been introduced in the letter from Guixian County half a month ago, but the battle opportunities are changing rapidly, and Hu people are especially good at short attacks, so what's new now? I still need you to introduce the situation in detail."

Xu Shu turned to look at Colonel Meng, who was drinking and had a red face, and was a little worried that his current state of mind could not explain the situation well.

But, that's why she was worrying too much.

Lieutenant Meng drank and drank, but not on his face, but not on his head. His mind was still clear. He quickly introduced the current battle situation clearly and clearly:
"In our previous report to Fucheng, we mentioned that the people who went south this time were the Albanians, because of the internal change of royal power within them, and maybe the lack of food after the beginning of spring. In short, well, they went south.

I originally thought they would plunder and then leave, but it has been about a month now. Maybe they were in a hurry to plunder, but they did not attack the city with all their strength. Maybe their offensive was weak, and they took advantage of us to defend the North Gate with all our strength. , go around to the west side and try to break through the defense. "

Colonel Meng glanced at Xu Shu and continued:
"Fortunately, Her Majesty the Princess found out in time, dispersed their advance army, and gave us a timely warning, so we were able to prevent it."

Zhou Tian and the others just took a formal look at Xu Shu. They thought it was Chengyang County officials who let Xu Shu attend as a show of respect for Princess Chengyang, but it turned out to be meritorious?
Although they all know that whether it is a war or an early warning, it is more likely that the people under the princess are responsible.

However, it is normal for subordinates to be credited to their superiors, and it is also a skill to know people and make good use of them.

Xu Shu smiled at the two people looking over and explained:
"It's mainly because the guard chief Cheng behind me discovered the Hu people's movements in time, and the trilogy raised by my mother worked hard to protect them, otherwise it would be very difficult for me to escape."

Tuen Chang Feng was found that same day. He had his arm chopped but no other serious injuries. He is now recuperating at the place arranged by Xu Shu.

On the contrary, the soldiers under his command suffered heavy casualties, with not one out of ten left. The few remaining soldiers were cut down to the ground on the spot. The barbarians thought they were dead, so they did not continue to kill them.

Xu Shu told the casualty situation, and there was no lack of worry in her words. In a head-on confrontation, their soldiers from the Central Plains were indeed not as brave as the Hu people, especially if they fought immediately.

Tian Xiaowei was not pessimistic, but comforted Xu Shu:
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. The Hu people are good at fighting on horseback, but they are not as good at infantry as our soldiers. What's more, we have a city wall to defend ourselves. As long as we guard the city gates, we will have an advantage."

After talking to Xu Shu, Tian Xiaowei joined Meng Xiaowei and Zhou Xiaowei in their analysis of the Al tribe's intentions and the subsequent arrangements for defending the city.

On these matters, Xu Shu was just a student who needed to listen carefully. She looked at Magistrate Zhou and calmed down her worries. She began to concentrate on listening to the exchanges of several generals and silently memorized the things she didn't understand clearly. Next, prepare to go back and read the military book.
