Chapter 340 Convergence(1/2)
Lin'an City, July is filled with fire!
After that heavy rain, there was no more rain in Lin'an City. As long as the sun rises, the scorching sun burns. Under the bright sunlight, it looks like a furnace between the sky and the earth.
Su Laosi and others were able to basically shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the city.
However, the King of Zhennan never sent troops south.
At the beginning, King Zhennan was preparing to lead his troops south personally, and cooperated with Su Zhengfa and others who occupied Kangshou City to completely wipe out Linan.
But planning is not as good as change.
Before the King of Zhennan led his troops south, the army of Li Nan Kingdom was already at Lin'an City. After a sneak attack, he almost captured the southern gate of Lin'an City.
Then, the two sides fell into a confrontation.
The army of Li Nan Kingdom sieges for several days, but they were all repelled by the King of Zhennan. However, after several days of fierce battle, the troops who were preparing to go south were completely destroyed.
If it weren't for Su Laosi and the others who were recruited by the toughest recruitment in the army, Lin'an City might have been captured.
As the first counselor under the account of King Zhennan, Qin Shiyu stood in front of King Zhennan again, with an extraordinary serious expression.
"Prince, if we cannot send people south to contact Captain Su and the others as soon as possible, we will completely lose hope of victory."
"I know!"
The King of Zhennan looked very serious.
He is not a rookie without a battle formation, he is also a veteran on the battlefield. This time, if it weren't for this heavy rain, he would have returned in triumph, unlike now, who was forced to this point by a small country.
"What's your idea?"
"Prince, now the army of Li Nanguo is outside the city. If we want to win, we must find another way."
"Su Xiaowei was born in Yashang Village, Changping Town, Pingyuan County. During this recruitment, there were people from Changping Town, and nearly a hundred people from Yashang Village."
"The subordinates thought that these people could form a partial army, bypass Lin'an City, sneak into Linan Kingdom, and meet with the men of Su's servant."
Qin Shiyu couldn't think of other ways to break the enemy, and the only thing he thought of was this.
Since they could not send a large army south, they would send small groups of people to the south. As long as they gathered together Su Zhengfa and brought all the lords and subordinates of Li Nanguo outside Lin'an City, it would still be a situation of internal and external cooperation.
"Prince, this is our last chance!"
"In a few days, the military information here will inevitably be transmitted to the capital. Once the emperor gets angry and the will comes down, there will be no chance of turning defeat into victory."
"Can it work?"
King Zhennan looked hesitant.
"Now Lin'an City is besieged by the army of Li Nanguo. It is really not easy to send people south. Those newly recruited people have only been trained for a few days, but they are just a group of farmers holding swords and guns!"
"Prince, even if it doesn't work, at least we'll try it!"
"You can take less responsibility when you arrive at the saint!"
Qin Shiyu was really a good strategist who thought about the King of Zhennan. Under such circumstances, he was still planning for the King of Zhennan with all his heart and responsibilities.
"Besides, it's just a group of farmers, and they'll die if they die!"
"Prince, I can't hesitate anymore."
Qin Shiyu looked at the King of Zhennan solemnly, "If they are lucky and can arrive at Kangshou City safely and soundly, then we can turn defeat into victory!"
"Although the army was damaged, the Linan Kingdom was taken down, which was a contribution to expanding territory. At that time, even if the merits and demerits were offset, the merits would still be greater than the demerits!"
"you're right!"
"I am pedantic!"
King Zhennan pondered for a moment and finally recognized Qin Shiyu's suggestions.
Things have reached this point. If he cannot turn defeat into victory, he will lose everything. But if he can turn defeat into victory, although he will still receive scolding from the court, he will at least be able to save everything now.
"I'll leave this matter to you!"
The King of Zhennan looked at Qin Shiyu meaningfully, "If it succeeds, I will be rich and prosperous one day, and you will be prosperous one day!"
...
After defending the city for several days, Su Laosi's natural power has kept him energetic.
Su Yaoming, Su Laoer, Su Yaocheng and other people from Yashang Village are now headed by Su Laosi, and even the young and strong people in Changping Town are respected by Su Laosi. After all, Su Laosi is not only very strong, but also Su Wu's biological father.
However, Su Laosi did not deliberately promote his identity.
During the days when I came to Lin'an City, Su Laosi had accumulated a lot of military achievements for several days.
When the war ended, Su Laosi felt that he might be able to get a title.
"Brother Yaoshun, you said, when will we go home?"
Another day of defense of the city ended, Su Yaoming's arms were trembling, and he was about to completely lose his strength.
"have no idea!"
Su Laosi sighed, "But no matter when we go home, we have to work hard to survive."
"Yes, live!"
Su Yaoming smiled and said, "My wife should have given birth. I don't know if it's a son or a daughter. I really want to go home early!"
"Don't worry, it will be soon!"
Su Laosi smiled, "Our Daxia is very powerful. Besides, King Zhennan is so powerful, he will definitely win. Maybe in a few days, reinforcements will arrive and we will be able to go home!"
As those who are forced to recruit, they can go home as long as reinforcements arrive without waiting for the war to end.
But Su Laosi and the others didn't know that King Zhennan did not issue a letter asking for help.
...
That night, Qin Shiyu took the guards of Zhennan King to find Su Laosi and others, and issued a secret order to them, asking them to leave the city at night, bypass Lin'an City, bypass the army of Linan Kingdom, lurk into Linan Kingdom, and go south to Kangshou City, and gather together Su Zhengfa and others from Kangshou City.
When a person is in a military camp, he must abide by military orders.
Even though Su Laosi and others were dissatisfied, they had to act according to the order.
In the end, the guide of the guards around Zhennan King, a total of 3,000 young and strong people from Pingyuan County quietly left Lin'an City, entered the dense forest outside the city, sneaked south, and entered the territory of Linan Country.
After waiting for Su Laosi and others to set off for most of the day, they were injured by Su Yaotian and others who were left in Lin'an City and told Su Laosi's identity and soon reached the ears of King Zhennan.
"What did you say?"
When the King of Zhennan heard from the guards that Su Wu's father was lurking into the team of Li Nanguo, he was in a bad mood.
He has lost a 100,000 army and will inevitably be attacked by many people. Under such circumstances, he urgently needs someone to speak for him.
But now, if Su Yaoshun has anything to do, even if he turns defeat into victory in this battle, he will never have a good life.
"Qin Shiyu, if you brought people back from Pingyuan County, don't you know that Princess Changping's father is also among them?"
The King of Zhennan found Qin Shiyu and killed the other party.
The King of Zhennan, who just expressed his desire to share wealth with Qin Shiyu yesterday, really wanted to kill Qin Shiyu at this moment.
Although the King of Zhennan has been staying in Lin'an City, he can receive news in the shortest time what happened in the capital. The queen accepted an adopted daughter, and the queen mother was named a princess. Emperor Xuanwu also recognized this princess, which shows that this Princess Changping is the one who is a holy family.
Of course, that's not the only thing.
Princess Changping is the former lord of Changping County, and how did the title of Changping County Lord come from? That was what Mr. Zhou asked the emperor to ask!
Mr. Zhou’s prestige in the Daxia army is incomparable to his father, the old king of the old town.
This time, his conquest to the south of Li Nan Kingdom was causing a loss of 100,000 troops. If Mr. Zhou came forward to help plead with his mercy, his guilt would definitely be much less.
But now, the King of Zhennan can only pray that Su Laosi will be fine after he goes there.
After Qin Shiyu knew what had happened, he was also confused. He did not dare to resent King Zhennan, but he held a grudge against Su Laosi.
Daughter of the princess, why are you here to join in the fun on the battlefield?
OK, if you want to come, you can say at least.
You put yourself and an ordinary farmer together without saying a word. Who are you trying to kill?
Qin Shiyu felt that she was really wronged.
However, the road was already completed, and he could only pray that Su Laosi would return safely.
...
Su Laosi didn't know how much harm he had caused to King Zhennan and Qin Shiyu. He was following the guards of King Zhennan who were leading the way and quickly moved forward in the dense forest.
The climate in Linan has always been humid, dry and hot, but after that heavy rain, it had been more than half a month since it had not rained, and the moisture in the dense forest has been reduced a lot.
Otherwise, if they walk through the forest, the moisture alone will cause them to lose their troops.
As everyone walked forward, these personal guards also knew Su Laosi's identity, and they all looked very careful, fearing that there would be something wrong with the road.
After walking in the forest for six days, the group finally came out of the forest. In front of them, there was the largest river in Linan Kingdom, Longyou River.
It was this big river that ruined the 100,000 troops of Daxia.
"Along the Longyou River, you will see Kangshou City in at most half a day!"
