Vol 3 Chapter 7: Break three cities in a row (one more)

It was found that the King of Xiangjun had been to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he went south without stopping 20 days ago. He must have gone to Jiangnan.
Su Fengnuan immediately repaired a book and sent it to the capital as a bird. At the same time, he instructed Lian Lian to send people to continue tracking along the way, going south along the direction where the King of Xiangjun left, to see what his purpose was.
Lian Lian never stopped, and led people out of the Yanbei Palace, and followed them all the way south.
Two days later, news came out of the Western Region. Ten days ago, General Su led an army to attack Yucheng in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After Yucheng was broken, General Su ordered people to block the news and continued to attack Yancheng in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The general did not stop because of this, and attacked Lancheng in the Northern Zhou Dynasty with all his energy, and Lancheng was broken.
Su Che broke through the Northern Zhou Dynasty City and killed tens of thousands of soldiers in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The Northern Zhou Dynasty retreated steadily. After hearing the wind, the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was in desperation.
The king of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was horrified, afraid that the second prince Chu Han would lead his troops to rescue him.
After Chu Han got the news, he was also shocked. He didn't expect that Su Che could really dared to attack Beizhou because of internal and external troubles in Nanqi and the dilapidated military and national strength. He immediately withdrew from Yanbei and returned. When he arrived, Su Che did not. Continue to conquer another city. Instead, he will repair and live up to the three-city deployment, and personally bring heavy troops to garrison Lancheng, defending Lancheng like a golden soup, it seems that he is waiting for Chu Han to seize the city.
Chu Han rushed for a few days before arriving at Lancheng. When hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horsemen approached Lancheng, he saw that Lancheng had already easily changed its flags, and the city was kept tight by hundreds of thousands of troops, and there was no gap to drill. .
Chu Han was furious.
Shan Zhuo persuaded, "Second prince, the general situation is gone. We came a step late. I didn't expect that Su Che was so fast. He had already captured Lancheng. Our soldiers and horses marched all the way and were exhausted. Su Che led the Southern Qi army. The stationed in Lancheng seems to be no less than 400,000. If you immediately seize the city, you will be defeated. Let's take our troops to the Qingfeng County station fifty miles away, take a rest, and then try to seize the city."
Chu Han also knew that it was not a good time to siege the city, but he was really unwilling to watch the city change its ownership, unable to regain it for the time being, and he didn't answer the word with a gloomy face.
The military doctor persuaded,
Second prince, because of a rush on the road, you rushed around the night, and the injury was not carefully repaired. The wound is now suppurated. If you don’t pay attention to bandaging and healing your wounds, your arm will be useless! You know, Chengchi There is still a way to get it back. If your arm is useless, the old man can't do it anymore."
Shan Zhuo immediately lowered his voice when he heard the words, "Second Prince, if your arm is broken and you are disabled, then you will have no relationship with Dabao. You must not give up your spirit for a while. It is too late to regret."
Chu Han was startled, and said, "Withdraw the troops! Qingfeng County is stationed fifty miles away."
Shan Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and immediately passed the order.
The Northern Zhou army did not attack the city immediately, but stationed at Qingfeng-kun.
When Su Fengnuan got the news, she pulled the corners of her mouth and couldn't help but smile, thinking to herself that there was finally something to be happy about since the busy days.
After Xu Yunchu heard this, he said to Su Fengnuan, "General Su really lives up to his prestige!"
Su Fengnuan said, "Now my eldest brother and second elder brother should have returned to the West, plus the soldiers and horses they brought back. There are millions of soldiers and horses stationed in the three cities of the West. It is not so easy for Chu Han to retake the three cities. ."
Xu Yunchu said, "Now that we have captured the three cities, Chu Han should plan to retake the cities after a few days of recuperation. If this battle is fought in a tug-of-war, it will take a long time. How long will it last for the winter?"
Su Feng Nuan said, "Two months!"
Xu Yunchu pondered for a while and said, "Two months is probably not enough!"
Su Fengnuan said, "It's really not enough. I think this battle will be enough! At least it will last a whole winter to let Bei Zhou know that although our military reserves are weak in Nanqi, our soldiers will not be weak. Let them This time I paid the price of blood, and I will not dare to re-emerge troops easily in the future." After a pause, she said, "As for the military material reserves, I will think of a solution."
Xu Yunchu said, "In recent years, I have also operated a business privately. If it is used for military supplies, I can use it for a month or two, but it is not enough to support the entire winter. It really needs to think about ways."
Su Fengnuan looked at Xu Yunchu with a smile, "Yeah, why did I forget you? The Guozhang Mansion has a solid foundation over the years, and naturally has some background. Since you said so, I'm not welcome, thank you in advance."
Xu Yunchu laughed, "What do you thank me for? I am deeply ashamed in front of you. As a man of Nanqi, defending his family and defending the country, it is only natural to do something within my power. General Su Da is me to fight for the power of the Southern Qi. The emptiness of the treasury is not enough to support it. The dynasty is full of civil and military affairs, and everyone is responsible. When I return to Beijing, I will be the temple memorial, the ruling and the opposition will go up and down, collect the army's salary, and fight the Northern Zhou Dynasty!"
Su Fengnuan heard the words and touched his palm, "This is a good way. The power of one person and two people is not as strong as the power of the ruling and the opposition. For many years, Nanqi has not been rich, but the military is not strong. The rich and powerful officials and gentry are rich. If the country is broken, there will be no eggs under the cover of the nest? They also suffer. Nanqi is strong, and they will naturally earn it in the future. Under your leadership, half of the government and the public will respond. If the emperor makes another order, Then it is the power of the whole country."
Xu Yunchu nodded, "I think so."
Su Fengnuan said, "How are the preparations for dry firewood and other items?"
Xu Yunchu said, "I'm afraid it will take another seven or eight days."
Su Fengnuan said, "In seven or eight days, the Beijing Lu Army sent by the emperor should also arrive. As soon as the Beijing Lu Army arrives, you will return to Beijing." When the words fell, she suddenly remembered, "I remember it will be the Queen Mother soon. It’s a birthday! Ye Chang’s birthday is two days apart from the Queen Mother’s birthday.
After the words fell, she pinched her fingers and sighed,
There is still half a month, I’m afraid this year will not be able to keep up with his birthday. In half a month, you can leave Yanbei, but I may not finish dealing with Yanbei."
Xu Yunchu heard the words, "The Northern Zhou Dynasty invaded Yanbei and Yanbei was charred. Now it is devastated, and the Western Region has launched troops to attack the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The two old cases of the DPRK and China have not yet been completed, and other officials are being investigated one after another. If you have to make a happy event, the birthday of the Queen Mother should not be celebrated."
Su Fengnuan said, "The emperor has already ordered all vassals to enter the capital to celebrate the empress dowager's birthday a month and a half in advance. Although so many things have happened, there is no reason to take it back below the imperial edict. It will always be lively."
Xu Yunchu nodded, "I wonder if the King of Xiang County will be called to Beijing."
Su Fengnuan thought about it, "The fox, the king of Xiangjun, always shows his tail. If he enters Beijing, why should I leave the Yanbei incident and go back to Beijing to meet him, take the opportunity to be in the capital, and let the emperor go Take him away. If he doesn't enter Beijing, it will be more troublesome if you want to take him away."
Xu Yunchu said, "Although the king of Xiangjun has been well-known for many years, he always has the feeling of being silent. I really didn't expect to do these things secretly."
Su Fengnuan laughed, "The sage name in the East is bigger than the emperor, and it's not silent, but it's not as famous as your national palace. Over the years, it has been covered by your palace. ."
Xu Yunchu laughed when he heard the words, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and sighed with a deep sense of reason, "Fortunately, the Guozhang Mansion has lost its way and knows how to return. Grandpa now looks away."
Su Fengnuan felt amused for a while when he thought of the livid face when he had crooked his nose in the palace.
After stating that he was able to get out of bed, he was an idle master, so he asked Su Feng Nuan to do something.
Su Feng Nuan looked at him. In a catastrophe, he lost a lot of weight, but he had no desire to die. After looking away, although he was seriously injured, but looked very energetic, he agreed and gave her a study room. He opened up a place and asked him to help her organize and arrange the pensions for the remaining half of the guards.
She freed her hands to deal with the backlog of Yanbei official business.
The statement was sitting in the corner of the study, watching Su Fengnuan expertly read and arranged the affairs of the entire Yanbei. The people who came in and out of her study, everything went through her hands, were very simple and straightforward, and he admired for a while. Convinced again.
King Yanbei was well ill. After he was able to get out of bed and walk around, he also took over a lot of affairs. Originally, the old prince had retired for many years. In order to find a time to wait for Su Fengnuan to take over as King Yanbei, he pushed most of the matter. To her.
Now Yanbei is in dilapidated condition and the manpower is urgent. Su Fengnuan has not been able to rest due to internal injuries. He feels distressed and feels that only she can continue to support Yanbei.
So, the old mansion took the time to make a memorial to Su Fengnuan, and asked her to ask the royal family to seal the North King.
When Su Fengnuan came to Yanbei, he talked to Su Zhen about it, but he never discussed it with the old prince. Hearing Yan shook his head decisively to King Yanbei, and said to King Yanbei what he had said to Su Zhen.
After hearing this, King Yanbei frowned, pondered for a while, and sighed, "Fate, you make sense. But if the Northern Zhou Dynasty didn't invade Yanbei, it's fine. Grandpa will do whatever you want, but now Yan Bei is all devastated. For only a few years, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get rich. Hundreds of thousands of people in Yanbei, your second uncle has talents, but no literary talents. Who can use Yanbei except you?"
Su Fengnuan heard the words, "Grandpa, how come my second uncle's two sons can't be used anymore? After studying at Lushan Academy, they will definitely be useful. Inheriting the Yanbei King should be a serious descendant."
King Yanbei sighed, "If it works, how can I do everything possible to make you recognize your ancestors? Although they are not mediocre talents, they are not powerful. I don't worry if Yanbei gives them to them. Our Yanbei Su family, Living in Yanbei for generations, your father has the ability of Wenzhi martial arts, but you don’t want Yanbei, you want to be a general of Southern Qi. Your second uncle is only a military commander, not a literary man. Fortunately, you are here. Cheng, if you give it to your second uncle’s two sons, I really don’t know if Yanbei will go down in the future."
