The Golden Age Chapter 722: Desperately desperate
Presiding over Faming brought tea, it was already late at night, and the old monk didn't bother him, and after a few words, he withdrew.
The guards watched around the monastery. Liang Jiangyuan poured tea for Qian Guanghan and respectfully said: "Old lady, Song Jiande is very brave. A band of pirates from Taihu Lake will surely be repelled."
"Linghuxuan seems to be hitting the west." Qian Guanghan sighed: "He took people to Shuning County, just to attract the attention of the old man, so that the old man feels that the main force of Taihu Pirates is going to strengthen Shuning. , But the real main force in Taihu Lake is planning to attack Suzhou City."
Wei Tairan said solemnly: "Taihu Lake is only a hundred miles away from Suzhou City, and we marched overnight, we have no time to detect their whereabouts."
"Linghu Xuansheng is not terrifying." Qian Guanghan frowned: "But the Taihu Pirates have such a cavalry, but the old man unexpectedly."
Wei Tairan looked at Liang Jiangyuan and asked: "Master Liang, how many cavalry are there who tricked the gate of the city?"
"I heard that there are at least four to five hundred horses in the humble position." Liang Jiangyuan said: "The humble position leads people to recruit young men in Nancheng. Suddenly, I heard the sound of killing from the south gate. Seeing what was going on, they happened to ran into a few guards running from the south gate. They told the humble post that the second son and the cavalry suddenly appeared outside the south gate. The soldiers who wanted to guard the gate opened the door immediately. There was emergency military information...!" Looking at Qian Guanghan, he cautiously said: "Second Young Master's words, naturally I dare not listen, so the soldier guarding the door opened the door, and then the cavalry rushed into the city and slashed with a knife. The soldier guarding the door couldn't resist it. It collapsed in a moment, and the south gate fell into the hands of the cavalry. According to them, there were a large group of cavalry outside the city with four to five hundred horses."
Wei Tairan and Qian Guanghan looked at each other and didn't speak.
"The humble post...the humble post was trying to take people over to see what was going on, so...they saw a group of cavalry passing by from not far away." Liang Jiangyuan said: "They are wearing Refined armor and horses are also very strong, they are all good horses...!"
Wei Tairan stopped and said: "So they also have at least four or five hundred horses and hundreds of armors?"
"That is natural."
"Old lady, it is impossible for Taihu Pirates to have so many war horses." Wei Tairan said solemnly: "The court has always strictly controlled war horses. Even if it is a folk horse, every horse must be registered. The court's decree, As long as the movement of war horses exceeds 30 horses, Taipu Temple’s documents are required, and even the local government has no right to mobilize them without authorization. The court is scarce war horses, and if some people dare to sell horses privately, they must be decapitated. It has always been strictly inspected.” After a pause, he continued: “According to Lord Liang, the horses of the cavalry entering the city are all good horses, and there are hundreds of them. With so many horses, Linghu Xuan is even interested. , And unable to get to Taihu Lake smoothly."
Qian Guanghan nodded slightly: "The roads in the south of the Yangtze River are under our control, and we are very clear about the goods that pass. As long as the goods such as war horses appear on the ground in the south of the Yangtze River, we can immediately detect it. Cannot be transported to Taihu Lake."
"Old lady, aren't the cavalry from the Taihu Pirates?" Wei Tairan thought for a while, and finally said softly.
Qian Guanghan was shocked and realized something.
Liang Jiangyuan has also reacted and said in surprise: "Master Wei, is it...Is it Hangzhou Daying...!"
On the ground in Suzhou, apart from the Suzhou Camp, there is indeed no man and horse that can have such a large number of horses and armor.
But in Jiangnan, there are Yangzhou Daying and Hangzhou Daying.
Compared with Suzhou Daying, Hangzhou Daying's equipment is even better than that.
Sun Yuanxin, head of the Hangzhou Daying Camp, was highly regarded by the princess. When Taipu Temple allocated the horses to the war horses, of course the best horses were sent to Hangzhou first. Many people knew that there were 800 cavalrymen in the Suzhou Daying Camp. There are thousands of riders in Hangzhou Daying.
"Come from Hangzhou, Shuning County is the closest." Liang Jiangyuan's face was already pale: "If they are really cavalry from the Hangzhou camp, why don't they reinforce Shuning City but come to Suzhou City? They turned out to be.... .Even here quietly...!"
He has a cold back.
If the Taihu Army entered the city tonight, the defenders in the city may not be defeated by the opponent.
After all, the Qian family secretly prepared for many years, hoarding a large number of ordnance weapons. After the incident, the young men in the city quickly received knives and guns, which were only stronger than the Taihu Pirates' equipment.
Even if the Taihu Army came out in full force, after all, thousands of people went to Shuning County. The maximum number of people who could enter Suzhou City was only a few thousand. There were also thousands of defenders in the city. Too big.
But if the cavalry entering the city is really the fine cavalry of the Hangzhou Battalion, then the guards in the city will only have to be slaughtered.
Wei Tairan seemed to understand something, her face was awe-inspiring, and he muttered: "We are in the plan, we are in the plan." Looking at Qian Guanghan, he smiled bitterly: "Old lady, in the end, we still fell in Linghuxuan. The trap of the dog thief."
Qian Guanghan is scheming, and of course he has understood it by this time, his expression is extremely solemn.
"Ling Huxuan led his troops to Shuning County. It was not for reinforcement of Sheyue at all. His real purpose was to lure the Suzhou camp to pass." Wei Tairan sighed, "We thought that the main force of the Taihu Army was in Shuning. It now appears that the main force that Linghuxuan brought to Shuning County is not the main force of Taihu Pirates. The real main force has stayed in Taihu Lake, staring at Suzhou City. He deliberately appeared in Shuning County to make us mistakenly believe that he is the main force of Taihu Pirates. After taking it over, he knew that if we found him landing, we would not miss the opportunity, and we would definitely send a Suzhou camp...!" Thinking of this, the back is already cold.
Before using the Neiku case to lure Sheyue to Jiangnan, it was only because the Jiangnan family recognized that Sheyue was concerned about Neiku and seized the weakness of Sheyue and successfully attracted her.
Now Linghuxuan uses the other way to return to the other side, using himself as a bait, and also deceived the Suzhou camp, because he also knows that the Qian family will not miss the great opportunity to get rid of him, and he also catches it. Lived with the weakness of Qian's family.
If Suzhou Battalion is still in the city and Qian Guiting is still in the city, it is of course impossible for the enemy to succeed in passing the money back to the court, and thus cannot deceive the city gate.
Because the defending army knew that the second son was leading the army, a cavalry in good armor appeared outside the south gate. Naturally, he would really think that the second son was returning with the cavalry, and Qian returned to the court. Of course, no one was there. If you dare to delay, you can only open the door immediately.
Otherwise, with the strength of Suzhou City, even if it is besieged by tens of thousands of troops, it will not be possible to easily break the city.
The other party regarded the Suzhou camp as a deadly death, and completely regarded the Suzhou camp as a tool for breaking the door.
The faces of several people are extremely ugly.
The Suzhou battalion was deceived, not only allowed the opponent to easily deceive the city gate, but there was no Suzhou battalion in the city, and the Hangzhou cavalry had no rival in the city.
"The old man was wrong." Qian Guanghan sighed and closed his eyes: "Changling was also worried that Linghuxuan would have a conspiracy in Shuning. Now it seems that he was really expecting it. The Hangzhou cavalry entered the city. Even if Jiande gathers all the men and horses
It's not a rival at all...! "
Wei Tairan was also very upset.
For so many years of painstaking planning, and even successfully lured Musk Moon to Suzhou, who would have thought that a lot of mistakes would be lost, and a good situation would end up with the current result.
"Old man, now I only hope that the second son can succeed." Wei Tairan smiled bitterly: "Since the main force of the Taihu Army is deployed to fight Suzhou City, then the Taihu Army in Shuning County is not their main force. The second sons are united. The left and right armies will attack the city with all their strength. As long as we can take down Shuning City, we still have a chance to comeback."
Liang Jiangyuan hurriedly said: "Yes, old lady, as long as Sheyue is captured by the second son, the Hangzhou camp can only be obedient."
"The general trend is gone." Qian Guanghan shook his head. At this moment, he seemed to be ten years old and looked depressed: "Suzhou City fell into the hands of Hangzhou Camp. After Musk Moon, it’s already difficult to reverse the situation. The imperial court’s reinforcements will soon arrive in the south of the Yangtze River. As long as the Hangzhou Battalion controls the city of Suzhou, when the reinforcements arrive, Ting'er can only be trapped on Shuning’s side and can no longer get logistics. Replenishment can't resist Tang Jun at all."
Liang Jiangyuan said: "Old lady, doesn't Tang Jun care about the life and death of She Yue?"
"Do you think the Demon Empress cares about her life and death?" Qian Guanghan sneered: "These years, the Demon Empress has used Musk Moon again, but it is because Musk Moon holds the three states in the south of the Yangtze River. Now her soldiers and horses are directly here. By the way, once the Jiangnan is controlled, Musk Moon will be of no use, and she will never allow Musk Moon’s banner to be raised. From the beginning, we only hoped to use Musk Moon's banner against the demon queen, but never thought of using it. She Yue's life threatened her, because the old man knew that in the demon empress's heart, no one's life or death in the world was worth her care, and it was impossible for anyone's life to threaten her."
Liang Jiangyuan's forehead oozes cold sweat, he hesitated, then said: "Grandma, then...what should we do?"
"Tai Ran, Jiang Yuan, this is the end of the matter. The old man can't help you." Qian Guanghan sighed lightly: "There is chaos in the city right now. You may leave by the north gate now, maybe it's still too late."
Liang Jiangyuan looked at Wei Tairan with a flustered face, but Wei Tairan still seemed quite calm, and said: "Old lady, let's leave now and leave from the north gate to Yangzhou. Maybe we can still fit in there." /
"Don't go to Yangzhou." Qian Guanghan didn't panic, and said calmly: "The surnames have been waiting for us to catch the moon before acting, fearing that if we act rashly, we will die without a place to be buried. But they forgot. In the eyes of the Demon Empress, the seven surnames from Jiangnan are one. The day we started, they actually had no retreat. They thought that the Demon Empress could not find evidence of their rebellion and would not kill them all, but they did not want to think about it. It has always been the long-cherished wish of the Demon Empress and Xiahou rebels to catch the Jiangnan aristocratic family in one go. Now that they have the opportunity, no matter whether they do it or not, there will be no good results." Watching Wei Tairan said, "If you go to Yangzhou, those two are very likely. In order to invite credit and wash off the relationship, I took you to the court, so I must not go there."
"Old lady, I have no worries about the green mountains and no firewood. Let's not go to Yangzhou. After we leave the city, we will find a hidden place to temporarily hide." Wei Tairan said: "After the Taihu Army enters the city, they will inevitably search for the old lady everywhere. Although Linghui Temple It’s a place of Buddhism, but...we can’t hide here forever."
Qian Guanghan looked calm, leaning on a chair, shook his head and said, "The old man has nowhere to go. Suzhou is the old man’s home, and he is at this age. I would rather die at home than to die in a foreign land. You go quickly. Leave me alone."
"Nether!" Liang Jiangyuan suddenly thought of something, his eyes flashed: "Old lady, is General Nether in the city?"
