War is about to break out.

That night, the imperial army raided the northern edge of the Suzheng Army's stronghold.

Qin Shen fought all night.

Sun Wenjing was still frightened, but fortunately they went back quickly as planned, otherwise they might have encountered something unexpected.

Everyone did not return to the Yanzhou City camp, and simply camped here temporarily.

Qian Feng, the newly sent general from the imperial court, was indeed not in the style of General Zhang. Not only did he make a sneak attack at night, he actually opened fire on Su Zheng's army in four places at the same time.

Fortunately, Qin Shen sent scouts to report on their previous actions of deploying troops and generals. Now that there was smoke everywhere, Suzheng's army was able to deal with it appropriately.

This battle lasted from midnight to noon of the next day. Qin Tian almost stayed up all night. This was the first battle she fought after coming to Suzheng Army. She pinched the "big brother" in her hand.

I was sweating, but in the afternoon the good news came.

The imperial court failed to capture an inch of Su Zheng's territory, and the soldiers retreated like a tide.

When Qin Tian heard this, he couldn't help but clasped his hands and chanted Buddha's name.

However, although the imperial court failed to repel the Suzheng Army, it burned a granary on the border of the Suzheng Army.

The territory of Yanzhou was washed away by floods this year, and the grain output was greatly reduced. Suzheng's army was always short of food and grass, but Qin Guanzhong secretly provided some support, and bought some from merchants one after another, until Qin Shen came out with troops.

Only after taking Daming Mansion did the food and grass issue ease.

But now a granary was burned down, and Sun Wenjing said something bad when he heard about it.

"The imperial court will definitely continue to wage war, and it is hard to say that the remaining food will be able to last through the twelfth lunar month."

Once they run out of food and grass, Suzheng's army will be defeated without a fight.

"For the current plan, it would be the best way to capture Xuzhou Mansion as soon as possible as agreed upon by the three armies."

Xuzhou has always been an important place for the imperial garrison, and there will never be a shortage of food and grass. Moreover, the prefectures and counties under Xuzhou's jurisdiction have good weather this year, which is much better than Yanzhou.

Moreover, the imperial court would not have thought that Su Zheng's army, which intended to go north, would suddenly turn around and enter Xuzhou City south of the palace.

Everyone discussed the matter again.

At the place where the two armies were fighting, General Qian Feng, like a new official taking office, attacked Su Zheng's army for three consecutive days, but was blocked by Qin Shen's troops.

Both armies were exhausted, especially the foreign soldiers who had just been transferred from the imperial army. It was difficult for them to adapt to such a fierce battle. Many of them were acclimatized. General Qian Feng had no choice but to withdraw his troops and reorganize.

Afraid of a counterattack by Suzheng's army, additional soldiers were deployed to guard and suppress the attack.

Qin Shen believed that his style of play was the style used by border guards to deal with foreigners, but this style of play was not very necessary for the Su Zheng Army, and the "weaknesses" of the Su Zheng Army that Qian Feng tried to attack had also been dealt with before.

The imperial army led by General Zhang had practiced repeatedly.

Qian Feng couldn't find a way to defeat Su Zheng's army for a while, but Qin Shen saw him clearly, adjusted military affairs, and took some time to meet with Sun Wenjing.

When Sun Wenjing mentioned the incident in Xuzhou, Qin Shen nodded.

"Capturing Xuzhou can indeed alleviate the food shortage, but the suppression army led by Qian Feng cannot retreat. If the Suzheng Army wants to attack Xuzhou Prefecture under these circumstances, it must get the full assistance of the other two armies. Otherwise, we will be attacked from both sides.

Already."

If Xuzhou cannot be successfully captured and Yanzhou is invaded by the imperial army from the north, Suzheng's army will be in danger.

Of course Sun Wenjing knew the danger, but this was also a necessary step. Suzheng's army could not just stand in Yanzhou for a long time, otherwise it would be swallowed up by the imperial court sooner or later, and it would have to continue to expand, and then go north to conquer the imperial court.

Just flip the whole thing over.

"I will tell Na Guang again as soon as possible. The leaders of the two armies in the south will set a time. Once the time is set, the three armies will send people to the villa, and the general will immediately free up his hands to fight this quick battle south.

"

Qin Shen nodded.

"I know."

The war was imminent, and he wanted to leave again as he spoke.

As soon as he walked quickly to the tent, he saw the little girl coming quickly, probably after hearing about his arrival. Seemingly seeing him about to leave, she trotted forward again.

"The general is leaving now?"

In front of everyone, Qin Shen saluted the princess.

She didn't like him saluting her, and her thin eyebrows frowned, like ripples on the water surface caused by the spring breeze.

Qin Shen's heart was filled with excitement. He looked at her and said softly, "Anxin is here, I'm here outside."

These words made Qin Tian feel a little sad. He had to protect the safety of her princess with his life.

But why is he doing this for her?

Is it because she is a princess, or because she was a younger sister, or is there anything else besides?

She didn't ask, but Qin Shen saw Wei You behind her.

"Protect the princess."

"yes!"

After Qin Shen finished speaking, he took one last look at her.

"gone."

Qin Tian and others sent him out of the camp.

Sun Wenjing invited Zhang Daozhang to discuss how to determine the time for the attack on Xuzhou with the Guangzhou and Suzhou armies.

This matter had nothing to do with the princess. Wei You originally wanted to mention to the young master what happened to the cook Juanzi at Secret Talk Villa, but his young master was really free and the princess did not need to go to that place anymore, so Wei You did not.

Pay attention to this.

Within a few days, Sun Wenjing made an appointment with the two armies.

Among them, the Guangzhou Army agreed as soon as they heard Sun Wenjing's proposal. The Nancheng Army was not short of food and grass, and there was no interference from the court for the time being, so they were not in a hurry. However, the leader, Jiang Shan, was considered a cheerful warrior and would not agree.

Sun Wenjing refused to do anything, so he agreed to Sun Wenjing's request despite all opinions.

Five days later, the three parties will each send "hostages" to Secret Talk Villa to restrain each other.

Qin Tian was deeply glad that he did not have to go, and even though Su Zheng's army wanted to prepare a cook, he also kept Juanzi behind.

The cuckoo did not dare to disturb the princess, so he only dared to kowtow three times outside her tent.

Qin Tian didn't even know about this, but Su Ye told her after hearing the guards talking about it.

In the past five days, the Su Zheng Army raided the imperial army twice. The first time severely damaged a camp under the imperial army, which made Qian Feng angry and accepted the fight. He wanted to seize the opportunity to detain the Su Zheng Army soldier who came for a sneak attack.

An elite force.

The Suzheng Army had already made preparations, which led Qian Feng to go deep into the encircled area. After all, Qian Feng was a general who had experienced hundreds of battles. Just before going deep into the encircled area, he realized what was wrong in advance and temporarily turned around.

In this way, some of the imperial troops that had penetrated deeply were also hit hard by the Su Zheng army.

In this battle, Suzheng's army did not lose a single soldier and defeated the imperial army to a pulp.

General Qian Feng, who had not really paid attention to the rebellious local uprising army before, could not help but be extremely vigilant, and for a while he became obviously cautious in his actions.

This plays into Qin Shen's heart.

Qin Shen had two sides. It would be great if he could capture Qian Feng directly at that time. Even if Qian Feng escaped temporarily, he would be cautious and would not dare to attack Su Zheng's army again in a short time.

And this time was exactly the time for Qin Shen to turn south and capture Xuzhou.

As "hostages", Mr. He and Zhang Shouyuan left the military camp, and the news that Zhu Hanchun, the only son of Zhu Siwei of the Guangtong Army, and Jiang Mu, the youngest son of Jiang Shan of the Nanchang Army, had arrived at Mitan Villa also reached the Suzheng Army.

at.

After receiving the news, Qin Shen calmed down and left Jin Yao, who was a capable man in his tent, to continue to guard the front line with the imperial army in the north. He sent troops overnight, crossed Nansi Lake, and headed straight for Xuzhou City.

The army is like an arrow leaving the string, and Qin Shen is the sharp arrow with cold light.

Qin Tian couldn't help much with the matter of marching troops to fight. He could only listen to Sun Wenjing talk about the battle reports outside.

If the Suzheng Army's attack on Xuzhou wants to be fought quickly, Suzheng Army must send troops suddenly. On the other hand, the other two armies must also send troops to contain them. This way, Qin Shen can win the battle quickly before ensuring that he is attacked from both sides.

.

Qian Feng, the general of the imperial court in the north, obviously hadn't reacted yet, but at this moment, only one of the two armies that was originally scheduled to send troops to help actually sent troops.

What is unexpected is that Jiang Shan, who had not wanted to send troops before, sent troops to contain it as promised, but Zhu Siwei, the Guangzhou Army who had agreed early, did not move at this time and sent another letter to Sun Wenjing.

When Sun Wenjing arrived outside Qin Tian's tent, the little girl was sitting in front of the case copying scriptures.

Right now, the only thing people outside the battlefield can do is pray.

When Qin Tian heard that Mr. Sun had arrived, he was very surprised and quickly invited him into the tent.

She took a brief look and saw the anxiety on Sun Wenjing's face.

"Sir, why are you doing this? What happened?"

The war had begun, and Sun Wenjing did not dare to delay at this time.

"The Guangzhou Army did not send troops in time to contain our army, and the general's rapid attack on Xuzhou added variables to the battle."

Qin Tian was startled, "How could this happen?"
