Chapter 88 Hiding in the Darkness(2/2)
That is to capture the triangular middle zone formed by the three armies. Even if we capture only part of it, the dilemma that the three armies cannot truly join forces will be able to resolve a lot.
The Suzheng Army is in the north, the Guangzhou Army is in the west, and the Nancheng Army is in the south. In the middle of the three armies, there happens to be a battleground for military strategists of all ages, Xuzhou Prefecture.
If we can capture Xuzhou Prefecture, this matter will be half achieved.
And the one closest to Xuzhou Prefecture is the Suzheng Army in Yanzhou.
The leaders of the three armies agreed here that the Suzheng Army would be the main force to send troops to attack the Xuzhou area, and the Guangzhou Army and the Nancheng Army would put pressure on the Imperial Army from the west and south to help the Suzheng Army capture Xuzhou as soon as possible.
Among them, the nearby Guangzhou Army is also very important.
It's just that although the secret strategy agreed upon by the three parties at this time is effective, if anyone fails to respect the agreement, it will cause the coalition forces to join forces to deal with the imperial court's cooperation and fall into an embarrassing situation.
In order to ensure that the three armies will abide by the agreement, before the war begins, each of the three armies sends a hostage to the villa where they have secret talks to control and supervise each other.
Jiang Shan of the Nancheng Army has decided to send his youngest son here, while the Suzheng Army has sent Sun Wenjing's wife-uncle Mr. He Lao here. At the same time, Daochang Zhang will also come. In this way, Zhu Si of the Guangzhou Army will be here.
He reluctantly agreed to send his only son Zhu Hanchun.
The secret conversation ended smoothly, and there was nothing that required the princess to come forward again. After noon, when Qin Tian and Su Zhengjun left, there was still an unreal feeling.
The carriage left here quickly. The further away, the more Qin Tian's mood eased. When she arrived at the territory occupied by the Su Zheng Army, she saw the Su Zheng Army flag standing high on the road from the window of the carriage and flying in the wind.
It feels like you are about to arrive home.
She looked up and saw the military flag getting closer and closer, and suddenly she saw a figure riding a horse from under the military flag.
The silver mask reflected the white light of the sun, and Qin Tian's heart was trembling. When she saw the man coming in front of her, she almost couldn't help but call out "big brother".
Her mouth was opened wide, and when the first word reached the edge of her throat, she realized something was wrong and quickly took it back.
But her expression was in place, but her voice was stuck, making her look particularly strange and a little funny.
Qin Shen's eyes softened instantly, his eyes fell softly on the little girl's eyes on the veil, and he whispered at the window of her carriage.
"Call me when you get back."
The little girl's eyes were bent like crescent moons, and her sweet voice sounded very beautiful under the high autumn sky.
"good!"
Qin Shen greeted him here early. Mr. Sun was surprised and happy. He stopped at the nearby camp and told Qin Shen about the secret conversation.
Zhang Shouyuan also said, "The battle in Xuzhou must be unexpected and decided quickly."
He asked Qin Shen, "Are you sure?"
Qin Shen thought for a moment and said, "If the two armies really fulfilled their contract and were there to contain the imperial forces, the Su Zheng Army would still be quite confident that they would kill those in Xuzhou City."
He asked specifically, "Is this really feasible?"
Sun Wenjing said it was feasible, and also mentioned the "hostages" of the various factions in the tripartite agreement to restrain each other.
"The two leaders sent their sons here. I only invited my uncle to go, which I felt was not appropriate. Taoist Zhang also said he was willing to go, so the two of them didn't say anything more."
Qin Shen listened and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the princess. He calmed down and asked some specific questions about the three armies' discussion on joining forces. He talked with everyone for a long time before leaving.
The little girl was resting in the tent he had prepared for her. Qin Shen went to the door and cleared all the people.
He walked in and saw her standing in the center of the camp. She had already changed out of the princess's brocade dress and put on the aqua coat and pea green pleated skirt that she often wore in the academy.
It looks like a rare green peony.
As soon as she saw him, she called him softly and crisply.
"Brother!"
Qin Shen's eyes were filled with warmth, and she asked someone to serve tea, and sat down at the coffee table with her.
He didn't have time to see her off when she left. He had been waiting here early today and was relieved to see that she was safe and sound.
"Nothing happened on this trip, right?"
Everything was basically carried out according to the process Sun Wenjing and the others had told Qin Tian before. Qin Tian did it meticulously, and even a few unexpected responses exceeded Sun Wenjing and the others' expectations. Just now, Qin Shen had already heard Sun Wenjing's praise.
Afterwards, Mr. He also said that the princess was extremely intelligent, and even Master Zhang Shouyuan, who had a strict temper, nodded to the princess's behavior.
Now Qin Shen looked at the little girl and heard her say nothing happened.
"The leaders of the two armies are respectful and there is no excess. I am sitting inside the bead curtain and I don't have to meet them directly."
As expected, everything went according to the previous prediction. Qin Shen asked her some more questions and heard that although she was sitting inside the bead curtain, she was carefully distinguishing what the people outside were saying, and could vaguely hear some clues, so she temporarily
The response is very appropriate.
Qin Shen finally felt relieved after hearing what she said.
As she talked, she drank tea. Qin Shenze looked at her quietly while she lowered her head to drink tea.
I haven't seen her for only two or three days, but somehow, she seems to be blooming quietly like a bud waiting to bloom.
Good night.
