Chapter 429 What evil is the young master holding back?
"Your Majesty, isn't fifty thousand too little?"
The other ministers frowned when they heard that Baozhu only took 50,000 people to the Eastern Region.
"Although 50,000 elite troops are a little less, the military situation is urgent and delaying the military aircraft will make the entire war situation passive."
Jiang Mubai stood up at this time: "Your Majesty, Baozhu's concerns are true. Let Baozhu lead 50,000 people to set out from the Eastern Region first, and then order people to gather another 50,000 people to support Baozhu within a month."
Jiang Yingxiong lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and finally decided to accept Baozhu and Jiang Mubai's suggestion.
…
"My sister is leaving here. I don't know when I will be able to return to Beijing. As a brother, I can't help you with anything, so I can only stay in Shangjing."
The prince said with a look of reluctance.
It's just a reluctance, but the situation in the Eastern Region is tense now, so it's not the time to talk about the personal relationship between children.
"Brother, are you saying these things because you want me to be jealous of you? Then you can go on the expedition in my place?"
Baozhu didn't appreciate it at all and rolled his eyes: "You should give up on this idea. As the prince of Daxia, you will never be able to leave and go to Beijing in this life."
"Besides, who said you can't help me in Shangjing? The stability of the court is the biggest favor you can do to me and my father."
After his sister ruthlessly revealed his thoughts, the prince could only smile and said: "Don't worry, sister, I will handle the affairs of the court and I will never drag you back."
"Brother Prince, thank you for your hard work."
Bao Zhu patted his shoulder and said with a smile.
The prince was speechless and could only watch as Baozhu led an army of 50,000 people and set off for the Winter Territory.
Ye Yunzhou cannot leave Shangjing for the time being. He needs to stay in Shangjing to raise supplies and troops for another 50,000 people.
Situ Moyu suddenly transformed and became Baozhu's deputy general.
Accompanying Baozhu to the Eastern Region was Rong Zhao.
After the last poisoning, she rested for a few days. Although her body had not fully recovered, it did not affect her recovery.
Along the way, she and Bao Zhu stayed in the carriage to recover from their injuries. Forsythia put on the soft hedgehog armor of the Detachment of Women and stayed close to serve Bao Zhu in his daily life.
"Does the young master have any general plans for the Eastern Region?"
At the inn, Situ Moyu and Baozhu looked at the temporary sand table. This was the situation of the surrounding towns in Wengcheng.
"Based on our current marching situation, we can reach Wengcheng in ten days at the earliest."
Baozhu took out the latest military aircraft information and asked Situ Moyu and others to pass it on.
"Now the people of the King of Shanghai have successively captured Xia County, Mo County and other places, and are approaching Wengcheng." Baozhu pointed to the location of Wengcheng: "Wengcheng is sandwiched between two mountains. The mountains here are high and the water is dangerous.
, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is the only way to the southern region."
From a geographical point of view, how important Wengcheng is.
"We all know what the young master said. According to the current marching speed..."
Another person frowned: "The general who defends Wengcheng is called Liu Yuanqing. He was a Jinshi in the third year of Emperor Hui's reign. He is a scholar. We dare not judge his ability to defend the city."
"Are you worried that Liu Yuanqing won't be able to defend Wengcheng and will delay our support?"
Bao Zhu expressed his concerns, and his concerns were not unreasonable.
"Solid gold!"
Baozhu raised his head and looked at Jin Zishi: "You will lead five hundred tiger and wolf soldiers, march through the night, and arrive at Wengcheng before us. Help Liu Yuanqing defend Wengcheng. Remember..."
"The Wengcheng is here, and the people are here."
Baozhu looked at Jin Zishi, and she always valued Jin Zishi's abilities.
"Don't worry, young lady, my subordinates will definitely not disgrace the reputation of the Tiger and Wolf Army."
Without much hesitation, Kaneko received the order immediately, turned around, selected 500 people, and set off overnight.
"Young lady, don't you worry about Liu Yuanqing?"
Rong Zhao frowned and asked.
Baozhu shook his head: "No, I don't know Liu Yuanqing very well."
This person is a scholar, and she has no intention of looking down on scholars.
There are also strong and good generals among scholars.
Baozhu raised his head and looked at Situ Moyu: "Do you know this Liu Yuanqing?"
"I have met this Liu Yuanqing once, but only from a distance. He is about thirty years old. According to his seniority, I am afraid I have to call him uncle."
Situ Moyu said seriously.
"Good guy, you have so many relatives in your family."
Bao Zhu couldn't help but complain.
"It's quite common for a wealthy family to use in-laws to build a network of relationships. Liu Yuanqing's family was poor in his early years, so he received funding from his grandfather to study, and married his seventeenth aunt to him. It was also a way to win over and build a network of relationships."
Situ Moyu has long been accustomed to strange things.
He had never even seen this Aunt Seventeen.
However... he once heard his mother-in-law say that Seventeenth Aunt's biological mother was just a concubine of his grandfather.
Even she has never seen it, which is really ridiculous.
Baozhu shut his mouth completely.
This kind of thinking has long been commonplace for them.
Not even those wealthy families in previous lives were like this.
Baozhu couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the court allows concubinage. If not, how can we divide the property of aristocratic families like you? You can't always find a reason to confiscate your family and exterminate your family, right?"
Situ Moyu was speechless now.
The young master's head is full of money, and he even wants to seize the family's money and exterminate the family. How much he loves money.
"It's true that a well-fed man doesn't know a hungry man is hungry. Money is needed everywhere in the government. Even for my tiger and wolf army, so many people need money to open their mouths every day."
She is too difficult.
At a young age, he shouldered the heavy burden of feeding 50,000 people.
"The Tiger and Wolf Army are the female master's personal soldiers. It is really a waste of money to raise such a large number of people."
Rong Zhao smiled lightly.
Female gentlemen are the best at complaining about poverty, and there are many ways to make money.
"Alas!" Baozhu sighed helplessly, as if he had endless sorrow.
Situ Moyu didn't know what to say. In short, nothing could be said about her, so he simply said nothing.
"No, last time I went to dig for treasure, I couldn't find the treasure. I even lost my wife and lost my troops. My father is happy, but I am not."
Bao Zhu thought about it and still regretted the previous exchange of treasures with Jiang Yingxiong.
"Female Young Master, shouldn't the most important thing you should be thinking about right now be how to deal with the King of Shanghai?"
The people on the side reminded in a low voice.
I'm really worried that the young lady will stop to hunt for treasure on a whim.
They had heard Baozhu repeat these words frequently in the past few days.
I always feel like the young lady is holding back her bad feelings lately.
"It's okay, it's okay. We can defeat the King of Shanghai and get rich at the same time."
Bao Zhu waved his hand indifferently, already having an idea in his mind.
Rong Zhao and Situ Moyu looked at each other, what did the young master want to do?
"How does the young master plan to fight back?"
Along the way, they often sat down and discussed how to fight against the King of Shanghai.
"I haven't thought about it yet."
Baozhu shook his little head.
