"Wuhu County, how many soldiers and horses are there in Wuhu now?" Cui Yingying had just stepped onto the Yangtze River ferry. The Wuhu County Magistrate came into the city. The Wuhu County Magistrate, who was originally prepared to give a grand welcome, now also had a nervous look on his face, and had already prepared those preparations.

The common people, gentry, etc. who greeted the Queen rushed back. But I was sweating profusely and waited carefully. On the one hand, it was because a small county magistrate might rarely see the Queen in his life, and he was extremely nervous.

, But on the other hand, it was because of the incident on the Yangtze River. After all, it was within its own jurisdiction, but something like this happened. The Queen was almost assassinated on the river. If this was traced, it would be difficult for the Wuhu County Magistrate.

He was trying to escape the crime of exterminating his family, so he served him more carefully.

"I want to tell you that Wuhu is one of the rice markets in the south of the Yangtze River and is an important transportation route. The Jiangnan camp has 800 soldiers here." The Wuhu County Magistrate heard Cui Yingying's questioning voice and did not dare to neglect, so he quickly reported:

"It is led by Du Yue, the captain of Wuhu, and has fifty government officials under him."

"General Wang, how long will it take to mobilize people from the Jiangnan camp?" Cui Yingying frowned. What role can more than 800 people play? Cui Yingying didn't know, but she also knew that if the other party took the opportunity to cause trouble, 800 people would basically be responsible.

If it doesn't have much effect, Wuhu County will definitely be defeated in an instant. However, I also brought more than a thousand guards. These are Royal Forest Army soldiers and horses, brave and good at fighting. With these people guarding Wuhu, they should be able to sustain it for a longer period of time.

"If we go back to Yangzhou, I'm afraid it will take six days to arrive." Wang Xiao calculated it carefully and then said: "If we are on the way to the Jing Army, we can save money by putting aside the heavy supply of grain and grass pulleys from the prefectures and counties along the way.

Half of the time. Madam, have you summoned the Jiangnan camp to come and escort you?"

"The Jiangnan camp does not have a marching general manager. Although it is called a camp, the troops and horses are actually scattered." Cui Yingying frowned slightly and said: "Even I don't know who should be mobilized to come to the rescue?"

"I heard that Yin Bupo, a senior fellow in the second term of martial arts, was appointed as the captain in Jiangning, and Cheng Tieniu, a senior fellow in the third term, was also appointed as the captain in Hezhou. These two places are the closest counties to Wuhu. Why don't the empress issue an edict to let these people

The two came to rescue him." Wang Xiao thought for a moment and then said: "Both Captain Yin Bupo and Captain Cheng Tieniu have become famous generals. Their commanding ability is far superior to that of the ministers, and the soldiers and horses under their command are also elite and strong.

There are three to four thousand generals. If they come to rescue, they will definitely prevent the enemy from coming to offend. It will be easy to support the soldiers and horses to march to the south of the Yangtze River to suppress the rebellion. Then the empress will appoint a marching general manager and order the camp to the south of the Yangtze River.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are at your fingertips, how can the enemy stop the Queen?"

"It is feasible to recruit two generals to come to the rescue. As for the appointment of the military commander of Jiangnan Province, I am afraid it is not my power. Military matters cannot be decided unless your Majesty, or unless I and Xuande Palace join forces to decide.

." Cui Yingying thought for a while, shook her head, and said, "After I write a letter in my hand, I will send the two generals first, and then send people to Xuande Hall to appoint a new Jiangnan Road marching commander to sit in Jiangnan and wipe out the rebels one by one. Hum.

Humph, "Jiangnan is far away from the imperial court." It is the soil for those people to survive. After the general pacified Jiangnan, His Majesty's focus has been on Guanzhong. In the Shandong area, it is inevitable that some oversights have been made about Jiangnan. Humph, if it is not rectified this time,

Maybe in a while, Jiangnan will no longer be the Jiangnan of the Tang Dynasty."

"Yes, I will do it now." Wang smiled and nodded.

"Wuhu County, do you know the reason why such a big thing happened in Jiangnan?" Cui Yingying asked as she walked.

"This, this." The Wuhu County Magistrate was a short, fat middle-aged man. Hearing this, his fat face showed a trace of oil, and his eyes showed a hint of fear. After a while, he said: "Reply to your Majesty, my lord.

I don’t know the reason for this. I think Jiangnan has always been peaceful, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and His Majesty is in power, and the corvee and taxes are very low. I really can’t find a reason for the thieves to cause trouble, and I really can’t find where these people come from.

.”

"According to what you say, could it be that these people jumped out of the cracks in the rocks?" Wang Xiao snorted in a stern voice: "They all say that people from Jiangnan are cunning. Hum, today it seems that people from Jiangnan are not just cunning.

, you are so courageous that you actually dare to plot rebellion."

"Okay, send someone to find out where the rebels have arrived." Cui Yingying frowned and waved her hand. She never thought that such a thing would happen during her trip to the south of the Yangtze River. It seems that the world has been peaceful for a long time.

It was a good thing that the local government knew nothing about such a big thing happening among the people. She could imagine that if this kind of thing was not planned in advance, there would be no such momentum. Since it was pre-planned, it must be something

If the local officials paid a little attention to the clues, they would be able to discover this kind of thing. But now, the rebellious people are rushing toward Wuhu in such a large size. The local officials don't know about it, and they actually found out about it from a traitor.

It's really surprising to know this news. If the other party hadn't wanted to reduce their losses as much as possible and sent a traitor to pretend to be a Jin Yiwei to lure me into the opponent's pocket, I'm afraid I still wouldn't have known that there was a large group of people.

Heading towards Wuhu...

"Yes, yes, I will go now." The Wuhu County Magistrate was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he was even more depressed. He thought that he had never made any mistakes when he was in Wuhu County. After a while, he was inspected by county officials.

Now, according to my political achievements, it is possible to be promoted to the governor of a state. Now that I encounter this kind of thing, my career has come to an end. When I think of this, I can't help but curse those traitors.

.

"I heard there are many temples in the south of the Yangtze River?" Cui Yingying glanced at the crowd that had not yet dispersed, and saw four or five monks among them, walking slowly among the crowd.

"Back to the empress, during the Southern Dynasties, there were four hundred and eighty temples. In fact, there were more than that and countless temples in the south of the Yangtze River. Even now, Buddhism is still very prosperous in the south of the Yangtze River." Wuhu County

Ling said: "In Jiangnan, many people are Buddhist believers. Buddhism is prevalent in Jiangnan and the people are honest." Wuhu County suddenly thought of something, his face changed, he lowered his head and stopped talking.

If the folk customs in Jiangnan were simple, this kind of thing would not happen. The magistrate of Wuhu County would not dare to boast.

But fortunately Cui Yingying didn't care about this." She just said lightly: "Back then, His Majesty ordered that Buddhist, Taoist and other religious temples and Taoist temples must be registered with the local government. Regardless of the number of people, fields, etc., all must be documented.

,Has Wuhu County ever done this?”

"That's natural." How can you disobey His Majesty's imperial edict?" Wuhu County heard this and said quickly: "It's just that among the people, many people consider themselves Buddhist laymen, and some people strictly control the monks in various temples because of His Majesty's imperial edict.

Those who get tonsured should simply get tonsured at home. Even I admire this kind of piety. Therefore, I think that although there are a few chaotic people in Jiangnan, most of them are good people. Please be aware of this." said the words.

, a faint sound of prayer can be heard.

"You don't have to worry. As you said, most people are good people. Only those scheming villains are like this. These people are in the minority after all." Cui Yingying waved her hand and said: "It just so happens that you can borrow it.

We will seize this opportunity to cleanse Jiangnan and return it to a peaceful and prosperous age. Alas, Jiangnan is far away from the imperial court, and the imperial decrees play a much greater role here, which is why we have the situation in front of us."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Wuhu County Magistrate felt relieved when he heard this. If he could gain the Queen's understanding, his official position would be saved. A big stone suddenly fell in his heart. "Now he can only pray angrily that the Queen can return safely.

Chang'an, this is a blessing. Maybe I can even use this merit to advance to another level!

Cui Yingying now lives in the garden of a gentry in Wuhu County. The gardens in the south of the Yangtze River are full of the characteristics of the south of the Yangtze River. The pavilions and pavilions are extremely exquisite and have the atmosphere of the water town of the south of the Yangtze River. "It is very different from the buildings in the north. People who are used to living in the north

Cui Yingying felt something different in the tall building. A smile gradually appeared on her face. If it weren't for the rebels gathering outside the city, Cui Yingying really wanted to have a good time in Jiangnan.

"The last general Yin Bupo, Cheng Qianli, and Wang Xiao pay their respects to the empress." At this moment, three generals with powerful expressions walked in outside, none other than Yin Bupo. With the arrival of Yin Bupo and Cheng Qianli,

The number of guard soldiers in Wuhu County has reached 7,000, which is more than enough to guard Wuhu. In addition, Wuhu is a famous rice market in the south of the Yangtze River and has sufficient food. The food problem of the 6,000 soldiers can also be well solved. The only disadvantage is that

The news was that tens of thousands of rioters outside the city surrounded the entire Wuhu. What was surprising was that they did not attack, but were only building siege equipment. This surprised everyone. However, even so, everyone also

Don't dare to take it lightly. After all, the person living in the city is the queen of the empire and the mother of a country. It is not a trivial matter. Once something goes wrong, the dead Yin Kaishan and Cheng Yaojin who are fighting in Goguryeo and others will have to follow suit.

"Three generals, how is the situation outside the city?" Cui Yingying looked calm and elegant, with no trace of nervousness on her face, as if there was no sign of a siege outside the city.

"Returning to the empress, it's still the same as yesterday. Tens of thousands of people are motionless outside the city, without any sign of attack. It's very strange." Yin Bupo frowned and shook his head. He has been a general for such a long time and has never been able to do so.

I have never seen anything like this, only besieging the city, not attacking.

"When will the troops from the Jiangnan camp arrive?" Cui Yingying frowned and said, "At this time, there should be news from the Jiangnan camp!".

"Empress, without His Majesty's imperial edict and the documents from the General Staff, it is impossible for anyone to mobilize the army. Even if the Empress can mobilize the army, there are certain limits." Cheng Qianli cupped his hands and said: "Jiangning, Hezhou Liwuhu

It's relatively close, so it's barely enough for me to come here, and the people in the world won't say anything. As for other places, I'm afraid it won't be so fast."

"So, we can only mobilize the troops to rescue the siege after the new marching director of Jiangnan Road arrives? How long will it take? From Guanzhong to Jiangnan, it will take at least half a month to arrive." Wang Xiaoren said.

He couldn't help frowning and said: "More importantly, are there any respected generals in Chang'an City now? Let these people come to mobilize soldiers. It is better to let the Queen personally appoint a general to lead the Jiangnan camp and defeat the troops outside the city.

Defeat the rebels. As for the rebels outside the city, I can destroy them without any effort to protect the safety of the Queen."

"Your Majesty, if things were so simple, I wouldn't be waiting here." Yin Bupo heard the words and smiled bitterly: "I think these traitors dare to do this, there must be someone behind them, and what they are planning is definitely not what is in front of them.

It's so simple. I think it's better to be careful."

"That's right. If it weren't for this," these people wouldn't have said that Wuhu was surrounded and stopped attacking. They were obviously waiting for something or had other conspiracies." Cui Yingying nodded and said, "It's a pity." Wuhu was surrounded.

I don’t know what conspiracy they have.”

"Humph, Madam, these people are just chickens and dogs. They don't treat ministers like they go out to fight. Maybe we can see a little bit of truth in them." Wang Xiao showed a trace of disdain on the corner of his mouth and said: "Madam, I

The Royal Forest Army followed His Majesty in his expeditions east and west. They are all the best among the elites of the Tang Dynasty. The men and horses under the city are no match for us." After waiting for the ministers to charge and kill, they escorted the Queen south to play. "Hmph, hum, the Royal Forest Army Mo Dao Shou is not there yet.

Have you ever tried your best? My Majesty, I will finally invite you to fight."

"It's not impossible." Cui Yingying seemed to have thought of something. She glanced at Yin Bupo and Cheng Qianli and said, "What do the two generals think? You must know that the Mo Swordsman of the Royal Forest Army is also quite powerful."

"Since the empress wants to attack, then attack." Yin Bupo and Cheng Qianli looked at each other after hearing this, nodded and said: "Perhaps we can open a gap in the opponent's siege. In this way, we may be able to disrupt the situation.

The other party's plan may not be known." At this time, anyone who is not a fool knows that the other party must have a conspiracy, otherwise they would not give up such a good opportunity. After all, capturing a queen alive is a godsend for the rebels.

It was a big thing, and for Datang, it was a big shame. But the other party didn't attack, and there was something evil in it.

"Come and make arrangements now." Wang Xiao's face showed excitement. "Although he is the commander of the Royal Forest Army, he has never commanded an army to attack and participated in the war to suppress rebellion. This time he has this force

Naturally, he had to seize the opportunity. More importantly, he believed in his brothers. The number of Mo Dao Shou may be very small in other troops, but there are many in the Royal Forest Army. There will be hundreds of Mo Dao Shou in each battalion.

Swordsman. Now among his troops, there are 300 Mo Swordsmen, who are advancing like a wall. They are unstoppable. He does not believe that there is any army that can resist the powerful Mo Shou.

"Let's go up and take a look." Cui Yingying suddenly said: "If we can take this opportunity to break through the opponent's well siege, the stagnant water in Jiangnan will be revitalized, and the opponent's calculation will be ineffective, unless they have a backup plan. I

Let’s see what they want.”

"I will protect the empress." Yin Bupo and Cheng Qianli said with their hands raised.

"General Yin, Mo Daoshou is extremely powerful. Although the opponent has a large number of people, they will definitely not be Mo Daoshou's opponent. General Wang will definitely be able to break through the opponent's defense line. When the time comes, you can lead a cavalry and charge into the formation.

If we can expand the results of the battle, we can defeat the invading enemy." Although Cui Yingying has never commanded a war, she is extremely smart. She follows Lu Zhaoci and understands some basic things. She still understands the principle of taking advantage of the situation to expand the results of the battle.

Got it.

"The last general takes orders." Yin Bupo did not dare to neglect, and quickly led more than a thousand cavalry to follow Wang Xiao, and slowly pressed towards the main camp under the city.

"Hey! Why hasn't there been any movement for so long?" Cui Yingying, escorted by Cheng Qianli, looked at the camp below the city. Facing the attack of the Tang army, not only did the opponent not make any move to counterattack, but even ordinary archers

There is no precaution, this is obviously unreasonable.

"Mother, in front of Mo Dao Shou, any resistance is of no use. Unless they also use Mo Dao Shou or use heavy cavalry, it will be impossible to withstand Mo Dao Shou's attack." Cheng Qianli shook his head.

He shook his head and said: "Even if the opponent uses archers, they can't resist our army's attack."

"It seems that the opponent is also vulnerable!" Cui Yingying said, but her eyes were fixed on the camp opposite. Subconsciously, the enemy soldiers on the opposite side could not be easily killed by Mo Dao.

broken by hands.

Sure enough, just when Wang Xiao was about to attack, the gate of the opposite camp opened wide, and a group of soldiers wearing shining armor slowly walked out. These soldiers were wearing armor, but only their eyes were exposed, and the weapons in their hands were exposed.

The ring-hand knife shimmered with a cold light, like the cold wind in the twelfth lunar month, making people's skin feel cold when they saw it. They didn't dare to look at it a second time.

"Armor?" Cheng Qianli's expression changed, he was shocked, and said: "Remnants of the former Sui Dynasty?"

"General Cheng, what do you say?" Cui Yingying's face also changed and she asked in surprise. If this matter really involves the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty, then it will be a serious matter.

"The armor was left over from the former Sui royal family and was used as heavy infantry. It was very expensive and not much was left from the former Sui Dynasty. Later, after His Majesty ascended the throne, he abandoned this kind of armor and used more modern ones.

The Mingguang Armor of the Tang Dynasty is lighter and holds a Mo Dao. Although the defensive ability of the armor is good, it loses its offensive power. The Mingguang Armor of the Tang Dynasty is more lightweight. Although the defensive ability is much worse, it is offensive.
