Dong Guangxiao nodded and said: "The fishermen of Taihu Lake are a serious problem for the Jiangnan family. Even if their rebellion succeeds and controls Jiangnan, if the fishermen of Taihu Lake are not eradicated, it will be a dagger in their hearts, making it difficult for them to sleep and eat. Now that they have found an opportunity to get rid of Ling

Hu Xuan, Qian Guanghan will naturally not miss it."

Tu Kuohai smiled disdainfully and said: "An important part of Master Gu's plan is to lead the Suzhou Camp out of Suzhou City, because only in this way can we have a chance to open the city gate."

“How do you say this?” Jiang Xiaochun was a little surprised.

Tu Kuohai smiled and said: "In the whole of Suzhou, there is only a team of hundreds of cavalry, but the Suzhou Battalion. Although Commander Jiang's cavalry is invincible, the number cannot be compared with the Suzhou Battalion."

Jiang Xiaochun nodded. The total number of Neiku cavalry was less than 200, which was indeed not comparable to the Suzhou Battalion in terms of number.

"After the Suzhou Battalion leaves the city, if the soldiers guarding the city suddenly see a group of hundreds of cavalry outside the city gate in the middle of the night, and under the banner of Qian Guiting, claiming to report an urgent military situation to the city, how will you react?

?" Tu Kuohai glanced at everyone.

Feixin couldn't help but said: "Of course it's the Suzhou Battalion cavalry who returned." Then he said with some doubts: "What Tu Jiujiang means is that there are cavalry pretending to be Suzhou Battalion cavalry to trick them into opening the city gate? Is there such a large number of people in Taihu?"

Huge cavalry?”

 These words were actually doubted by everyone present.

If there really is such a cavalry in Taihu, although it has made great achievements, it is also a violation of national law and will definitely arouse the vigilance of the imperial court.

The imperial court strictly prohibited the trade of war horses among the people. Trading war horses without authorization was tantamount to treason. If Taihu had trained a cavalry team of hundreds of people, this was not a trivial matter. If we really wanted to pursue it, we would be in big trouble.

She Yue was quite calm, her beautiful face was calm, but her beautiful eyes stared at Tu Kuohai very sharply.

"Of course there will not be such a cavalry in Taihu." Tu Kuohai said immediately: "The imperial court has an explicit order prohibiting the private trade of war horses. The few horses in Taihu are only used for pulling goods. They have never traded war horses with anyone, nor have they ever traded war horses with others.

Possibly a cavalryman."

When everyone saw Tu Kuohai's righteous words, they felt funny in their hearts. They knew that Tu Kuohai's words were not entirely true. There must be war horses in Taihu, and there must be people who are good at riding and shooting. However, Linghu Xuan should not be training a cavalry on Taihu Island.

Such courage.

Jiang Xiaochun was born in the cavalry, so he was naturally very interested in this matter. He immediately asked: "Jiujiang, since there are no cavalry in Taihu, where will the cavalry come from to pretend to be Suzhou camp cavalry and trick them into opening the city gate?"

 “Hangzhou Camp!”

 Tu Kuohai spit out three words.

　　Everyone present changed their color. Even She Yue, who was as calm as water, her face changed slightly. She frowned and said: "Hangzhou Camp? Tu Kuohai, do you mean to say that Hangzhou Camp arrived in Suzhou City last night?"

  Qin Xiao and Dong Guangxiao looked at each other and were both very surprised.

The purpose of She Yue's coming to Shuning City was to hope that Sun Yuanxin, the commander of the Hangzhou Battalion, would lead his troops to help after getting the news. However, even the Taihu Army arrived for several days, but there was still no news from the Hangzhou Battalion.

 Qin Xiao once thought that the eldest son, Yuanxin, had not received the order from the Ministry of War to mobilize troops. He was worried that he would be punished later if he mobilized troops without authorization, so he did not move.

After all, mobilizing local soldiers and horses without authorization is a serious crime. Even if it is to rescue the princess, there is no problem in reason, but according to the laws of the empire, it is a serious crime. If someone in the court really wants to pursue it, the national law is like a mountain, and the eldest grandson Yuanxin will definitely

It will also cause big trouble.

 Even Musk Moon was once disappointed.

At this time, I finally understood that Changsun Yuanxin did not stand still, but went directly to capture Suzhou City.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Commander Changsun should have led the cavalry to open the city gate last night. The main force of Taihu fishermen also rushed to the designated location overnight. After Commander Changsun deceived the city gate to open, Mr. Gu will personally lead the Taihu fishermen to rush in.

Inside the city, seize Suzhou City." Tu Kuohai said respectfully to She Yue: "However, no one from Suzhou City has been sent to report, so the people are not sure what the situation is now. According to the plan, if everything goes well

, Suzhou City has returned to the hands of the officers and soldiers."

 Everyone present was very excited when they heard this.

The Battle of Funiu Mountain and the annihilation of the Suzhou Battalion were indeed an amazing victory, but everyone knew that this was only a staged victory. As long as Suzhou City could not be captured, the Suzhou Rebellion would not be considered quelled.

Once Suzhou City is closed and defended, it will be even more difficult to break through.

 For She Yue and Qin Xiao, their thoughts were deeper.

The only way for She Yue to reverse the situation and maintain his position in the court was to personally recapture Suzhou City before the Shence Army arrived in Jiangnan.

 For the empire, it makes no difference whether She Yue or the Shence Army captures Suzhou City. The Jiangnan Rebellion will be put down.

 But for She Yue personally, whether he can capture Suzhou City by himself is of great importance.

She Yue breathed a sigh of relief after the victory in the Battle of Funiu Mountain, but when she thought about Suzhou City, she felt unhappy.

At this time, he heard that the Hangzhou Battalion had joined forces with the Taihu Army and had probably recaptured Suzhou City. She Yue's beautiful eyes immediately showed brilliance.

Hangzhou Battalion is not the Shence Army. Behind the Shence Army are eunuchs and even the Xiahou family. However, the Hangzhou Battalion still belongs to She Yue’s strength. The Hangzhou Battalion recaptures Suzhou City, which is equivalent to She Yue taking it personally.

But she was thinking about how Gu Baiyi coordinated the cooperation between the Hangzhou Battalion and the Taihu Army when he made the plan. How could the eldest son Yuanxin follow Gu Baiyi's orders and take Suzhou directly, regardless of Shuning City?

city?

 She Yue was thinking in her mind, but Feixin had already asked: "How did Mr. Gu get in touch with Commander Zhangsun?"

"The princess was surrounded, Mr. Gu immediately formulated a counter-rebellion strategy." Tu Kuohai explained: "The common people just said that to capture Suzhou City, we cannot attack it forcefully, we can only outsmart it. To outsmart Suzhou City, we must naturally open the city gate.

, but it is not easy for them to open the city gate. In addition to luring the Suzhou Battalion out of the city, they also need a cavalry to pretend to be the Suzhou Battalion cavalry. Such cavalry cannot be found in Suzhou. The only way is to go to Hangzhou.

The camp asked for help. Mr. Gu personally wrote a letter and sent people to go to Hangzhou day and night, and told Commander Changsun the plan."

“Just a letter to get Changsun Yuanxin to cooperate with your plan?” She Yuehu asked.

Tu Kuohai said: "Master Gu said in his letter that whether he can capture Suzhou City depends entirely on Commander Changsun. If Commander Changsun misses this opportunity and tries to capture Suzhou City again, he will pay a huge price. Yesterday at noon

, Brother Linghu received a letter sent by Master Gu, telling Brother Linghu that Commander Changsun has been traveling day and night and has arrived in Suzhou, and will launch an offensive against Suzhou City last night."

She Yue nodded slightly and said: "So yesterday morning Linghu Xuan sent someone to say that the Taihu Army would launch an offensive on Suzhou City last night, but he did not mention the Hangzhou Battalion. Is it because he was not sure that the Hangzhou Battalion would arrive in time?"

"Yes." Tu Kuohai said: "Although Brother Linghu believes that Commander Changsun will focus on the overall situation, he is not sure that the Hangzhou Camp will appear in time, so he dare not directly tell the princess that the Hangzhou Camp is involved."

She Yue smiled faintly and said: "If the Hangzhou camp did not arrive on time yesterday, last night's plan would have been in vain."

Jiang Xiaochun said solemnly: "Princess, although Master Gu's plan is dangerous, it is also the most ingenious strategy."

"Not bad." Feixin also praised: "The fishermen from Taihu Lake came to Shuning County, led out the Suzhou Camp, and then used the Hangzhou Camp to pretend to be Suzhou Camp cavalry, deceived the city gates, and successfully entered the city. This series of steps was exquisite. At first glance,

It seems that there are many variables, but as long as you have insight into people's minds and anticipate the enemy, every step is actually an inevitable result. Sir Gu's strategizing is really amazing."

Qin Xiao didn't speak until he finally said: "Princess, if the Taihu Army and the Hangzhou Battalion join forces to capture Suzhou City, it shouldn't be a big problem. However, there is one thing that I think cannot be ignored."

“Oh?” She Yue looked at Qin Xiao: “What’s the matter?”

"Ten years ago, the Queen Mother Society of Qingzhou was pacified by the imperial court, which shocked the country for a while." Qin Xiao said slowly: "Both the government and the public thought that the Queen Mother Society had been eradicated in that battle, and even if there were fish that slipped through the net, it would not matter. But.

Ten years later, the Queen Mother Society actually revived in the Jiangnan area, the hinterland of the empire, and even won over the Jiangnan family. If the princess had not escaped from Suzhou City in time, the situation in Jiangnan would have been a different story."

 Everyone's expressions became solemn, and She Yue also frowned.

Everyone naturally knows that the biggest turning point for the rebellion in Jiangnan to be put down in such a short period of time was actually She Yue's escape from Suzhou City. If she had not left in time and was controlled by the Qian family, then the entire Jiangnan would indeed have been destroyed.

Another situation.

"As far as I know, the leaders of the Queen Mother Association are three generals, Haotian, Kuhai and Youming." Qin Xiao looked at Yuwen Chengchao and said: "The eldest son also said that the real leaders of the Queen Mother Association in Suzhou are,

It’s General Netherworld.”

Yuwen Chengchao immediately nodded and said: "Exactly. The Zuo Shen General mentioned to me that he joined the Queen Mother Association and developed his power in Suzhou under the guidance of General Netherworld. The Queen Mother Association has two people in Suzhou

The divine general and a prime minister were all single-handedly promoted by General Netherworld. Over the years, they followed Netherworld's instigation to secretly develop the congregation. However, as the name suggests, Netherworld people are like ghosts under the underworld. After I entered the Queen Mother Society,

, and also looked for opportunities to inquire about this person's situation, but although many people know the existence of General Netherworld, they have no idea who this person is and where he is."

"The Queen Mother Society moved from Qingzhou to Jiangnan. In just ten years, Jiangnan almost fell into a huge and irreversible disaster." Qin Xiao said solemnly: "Now that we have annihilated the Suzhou camp, the two divine generals are also dead.

I also know that the Suzhou Qian family is the backbone of the Suzhou Queen Mother Association, but they know nothing about Netherworld. I am only worried now that the Queen Mother Association is gone in Jiangnan, and people like Haotian and Youming will quickly withdraw from Jiangnan, but they are definitely
