The Golden Age Chapter 6: Shuning

Musk Moon’s unparalleled elegance was originally an advantage that everyone in the world dreamed of, but now it has become her weakness.

"Princess, Caomin thought for a while. There is only one way to avoid the Queen Mother's Club." Yuwen Chengchao said softly: "Zuo Shenjiang trusts Caomin very much, and gives Huqiu County to Caomin. There are now thousands of people who have been taken over by Caomin. All of them are commanded by Caomin, and they are now stationed in Huqiu County. Many villages in Huqiu County have been attacked by the people of the Youshen General, so in order to protect those people It is safe. The grassroots temporarily opened the Huqiu county town, and many people in the surrounding area ran to the Huqiu county town to seek refuge."

She Yue understood instantly: "Are you asking my palace and Qin Xiao to also go to Huqiu County for refuge?"

"Huqiu County, under the control of Caomin, can be easily taken care of. Even if something really happens, Caomin can provide protection at any time." Yu Wencheng pointed towards the southeast and pointed out: "If you go to the southeast, just walk up. One hundred miles away, you can reach Huqiu County. As long as you enter the city, the grassroots can make arrangements in secret. At the moment, it is much safer to go to Huqiu County than to go to Hangzhou through Shuning County."

Musyue pondered, her slender willow-like eyebrows clustered slightly, thoughtfully.

For a while, She Yue looked at Yuwen Chengchao and asked: "Can you have a way to make us reach Shuning County safely?"

Yu Wencheng was taken aback, somewhat surprised: "The princess insists on going to Hangzhou?"

"You are right. With the current situation, it is more difficult to go to Hangzhou than to climb to the sky." Musk said slowly: "My palace temporarily dismissed the idea of ​​going to Hangzhou, but hopes to reach Shuning city smoothly. ."

Qin Xiao was also a little surprised, and asked softly: "Why did the princess choose Shuning City?"

"It is not easy for Yuwencheng Dynasty to enter the Queen Mother's Association, and it is not easy to have the current identity in the Queen Mother Association." Musk said with a serious face: "Yuwencheng Dynasty, you are the one buried in the heart of the Queen Mother Association by the court. When the dagger comes to a critical juncture, we will be able to make amazing achievements. How the situation in Jiangnan will develop is still uncertain for the time being. If we go to Huqiu County, but there is negligence, it is very likely that you will be implicated, and you may even be suspected. Although the Queen Mother’s followers are a group of ignorant people, the leaders are not fools. They can be deployed in the south of the Yangtze River for many years without being noticed by the court. This group of people should not be underestimated, so to ensure your safety, Qin Xiao and I cannot go to Huqiu. County."

Yuwen Chengchao immediately said: "The safety of the princess is the most important thing, the grassroots......!"

"The heart of this palace has been decided, so there is no need to say more." She Yue is very decisive: "Do you know how many people and how many defenders there are in Shuning County?"

Yuwen Chengchao nodded and said: "Shuning County ranks third among the seven county towns in Suzhou. There are more than 6,000 households in the city, with a population of less than 40,000. The princess also knows that after the saint became the throne, the local prefectures The battalion has shrunk, and there are not many guards in the counties. The county towns are all guarded by government officials under the county lieutenants. The government officials under a county lieutenant add up to 40 or 50 people. One part is responsible for guarding the city gate, and the other part is for maintaining order in the city."

Qin Xiao thought that there are 6,000 households in a county. This is considered extremely prosperous in Xiling. Among the counties under the three counties of Xiling, counties with a population of more than 5,000 households are very rare.

Suzhou has three counties under its jurisdiction, but only seven counties. Compared with Xiling, it is a whole

Suzhou and no Yuwen County have a vast land, but this is a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River. It is not as sparsely populated as Xiling, with developed commerce and dense population. It is extremely common for a county to have five or six thousand households.

"After the grassroots took control of Huqiu County, they read the archives of Huqiu County Yali." Yuwen Chengchao said: "There are 5,470 households in Huqiu County. There are fifty-two people. These fifty people take turns guarding and patrolling the city. Usually there are only a dozen people guarding the county government office. So as long as you sneak into the city and attack suddenly, it is not difficult to win the county government."

Sk Yue secretly sighed in her heart that when the saint enthroned, because of the rebellion in the three states and seven counties, the court was scrupulous about the presence of heavy troops in the place. So after putting down the rebellion, the saint mainly did two things. The first was to eliminate All opposition forces, including the royal family of Li, who threatened the throne, and another thing was that it took several years to shrink the local establishment.

Although this is the case, it is difficult for the officials in the frontiers to have powerful soldiers and horses. The threat to the court is greatly reduced, but at the same time, the defense of the local states is greatly weakened. This time the Queen’s Association can be carefully planned. , Easily seized several counties under the jurisdiction of Suzhou, the weak defense force of the county is naturally an important reason.

"The Caomin thinks that the strength of Shuning County must be much more than that." Yuwen Chengchao said softly: "Before the Ghost Golden Goat moved, the lurking Queen Mother's congregation in Shuning County was about a hundred people, and they were all Guijinyang’s men are brave and capable of fighting.” After hesitating, he continued: “After the Caomin sneaked into the Queen’s Club, he spent a lot of time in the Yongzhou area at first. He was transferred to Suzhou more than two months ago. I was actually appreciated by the left **** general more than a month ago, and then made me a star general. At the beginning, he didn’t tell me anything, just let me take more than a hundred people to train in the mountains secretly until a few days ago. , I knew that I was going to take this group of people to take Huqiu City according to the plan. From this, it can be inferred that before the action, the Ghost Golden Goat should also take the group of people to secretly train and carry out countless actions in the course of the action. Times of practice."

Qin Xiao naturally knew what Yuwen Chengchao meant, and said in a low voice: "The old man said that there are more than 100 people in the ghost golden sheep, and after training, even if Dong Guangxiao noticed in advance, all the government officials in the county will be ambushed. In the yamen, but fighting head-on, the ghost golden sheep will not be annihilated?"

"That's what I mean." Yuwen Chengchao said, "In fact, most of the government officials in the city have nothing to do. They just eat a lot of food. If you really want to fight, those government officials can be said to be vulnerable.. ...!" Speaking of this, I felt a little offended Her Royal Highness.

After all, Yacha is also a soldier of Datang, and he said to the face that those Yacha of Datang were wine bags and rice bags. As a princess of Datang, Sheyue was inevitably unsightly.

She Yue didn't seem to care, and said lightly: "Jiangnan has been in peace for too long, and there are many incompetent generations, it is natural, but you can say it is OK!"

"Caomin meant that Dong Guangxiao must ambush a lot of people in Shuning City, and the fighting power is definitely higher than that of the Guijinyang gang, otherwise the Guijinyang gang will not all be chopped off their heads. On the head of the city." Yuwen Chengchao said sternly: "After this incident, Cao Min also inquired about Dong Guangxiao as a person. It is said that this person liked to make friends and met many people in the rivers and lakes before serving as Shuning County magistrate, and this Dong Guangxiao himself is a man. Takeo, it is said that he also joined a certain sword school and practiced swordsmanship."

Qin Xiao understood in an instant, and smiled: "I understand, the ghost golden sheep did not die in the hands of Yachai

It is very likely that he died in the hands of people in the rivers and lakes. Since Dong Guangxiao had been aware of it in advance, he was likely to find some friends from the rivers and lakes to help out. Even if the Queen Mother believers are brave, in the final analysis, they are just a mob. "

Yuwen Chengchao nodded and said: "I have exactly this idea, probably because Dong Guangxiao has a lot of friends from the rivers and lakes to help out, so I have the confidence. Princess, how many defenders there are in Shuning City, it is not possible yet. It's absolutely certain, but after Dong Guangxiao killed the ghost golden sheep, he quickly closed the city, and he must have thought about the next situation. If I didn't guess wrong, there must be enough money and food in Shuning city, and he is ready to defend the city. Prepare and be confident to wait until the court’s reinforcements come over."

"My palace wants you to do me a favor." She Yue's beautiful eyes showed a hint of brilliance: "There are Queen Mother believers in Shuning county. So can you find a way that can avoid the Queen Mother’s congregation to reach Shuning City? No matter how many people there are, the Queen Mother’s believers cannot prevent Shuning County from being splashed with needles, as long as you can find a safe road. , Let us enter Shuning City, you are a great achievement."

Qin Xiao thought that She Yue was going to Shuning City, and it seemed that he had thought about it carefully.

Since it is already difficult to travel to Hangzhou, it is far better than wandering around Suzhou instead of going to Shuning City to be protected by Dong Guangxiao.

Although Yuwen Chengchao was a star general and offered to protect the two of them to Huqiu, Musk was not wrong. Yuwen Chengchao’s men were all the congregation of queen mothers, and they were in awe of Yuwen Chengchao, just because In their hearts, Yuwen Chengchao was regarded as the brother of the Queen’s Mother Association. If they were aware that Yuwen Chengchao was suspicious, or even the imperial court was lurking in the nails of the Queen’s Association, then Yuwen Chengchao would also be in trouble.

The most important thing is that when the officers and soldiers calm the chaos, the Yuwen Chengchao lurking in the Queen’s Club will play a greater role and must not be easily exposed at this time.

Yuwen Chengchao thought for a while, and then said: "Princess, give me two days. In these two days, I will try my best to find a safe way to Shuning City." Frowning: "But these two days... ...!"

"Do the people in this village agree to go with you?" Musk asked.

Yu Wenchengchao nodded and said: "They are worried that Kuimu Wolf will send someone to retaliate, and they dare not stay here. Those who have promised to follow me to Huqiu will take them away as soon as daybreak."

Sk Yue said: "It is so good. My palace and Qin Xiao have been waiting for your news in the past two days, find a safe route, and report immediately."

"It may not be safe to stay here."

"It's okay." Sheyue glanced at Qin Xiao and whispered softly: "Qin Xiao is by the side of this palace. With him, this palace will be safe and sound."

Qin Xiao couldn't help but glance at Musk Moon, wondering when the beauty princess would appreciate him so much?

Yuwen Chengchao thought for a while, and finally he said: "Since the princess has decided, the grassroots knows what to do." Xiang Qin Xiao said: "Brother Qin, you protect the princess, within two days, I I will definitely send a message."
