At this time, the Tianquan County town was brightly lit and filled with densely packed city defenders, holding various torches in their hands, observing the chaos and chaos of the Chu army's camp and the fireworks.
Su Xingran led the escort to stand on the edge of the moat, looked at the soldiers on the wall, and shouted loudly, "Who is your commander? Come forward quickly. I have something to say!"
After a long time, a soldier's voice came from the city wall, "Who are you? Our General Xu said, if you want to fight, we will fight. We don't have so much nonsense to tell you!"
"Damn it, who are you talking to, do you know? She is Princess Qingfeng of Zheng State!" Zhong Xin, who was standing next to Su Xingran on horseback, yelled!
"Haha, did you all hear that this guy said that the girl just now is Princess Qingfeng of the Zheng Kingdom? Are you asking us to open the city gates to welcome Princess Qingfeng into the city? Ah, bah, you deliberately opened the gates of the city to welcome Princess Qingfeng into the city? Set off some fireworks in the camp and create some chaos to deceive us. Am I so easy to deceive? Get out of here quickly, or I will order an arrow to be released and shoot you to death, you little turtle!"
"You little bastard, I'll shoot this bastard to death with an arrow first!" Zhong Xin was furious in the city! Turn around and look for the archer to get the arrow.
"General Zhong, don't be impulsive! Let me do it." Uncle Sun grabbed Zhong Xin.
Zhong Xin gasped in anger, "Okay, okay, come on, you better understand the situation in the city. I didn't know you were already there, which made me angry to death by these little bastards."
Uncle Sun ignored him and shouted directly to the top of the city, "I am Sun Degui. Call Xu Daqing here. I want to talk to him." "
After Sun Degui shouted, no one said anything on the city for a long time. Chen Xiaomu was anxious, and the opportunity to fight was fleeting. He expected this group of people to fight and he even doubted whether he had taken the wrong medicine. It seemed that if the Zheng Guo army did not do well, If we clean it up, it will be a matter of time before the country is destroyed.
Finally, someone on the top of the city called out again, "Excuse me, are you the commander of the imperial capital, Mr. Sun?"
"Exactly, General Xu, open the city gate quickly, your Majesty's Princess Qingfeng is back!"
As soon as Sun Degui finished speaking, the suspension bridge on the moat at the city gate creaked and lowered!
Just in case, Chen Xiaomu asked Lu Yi to lead his army to turn around and charge towards the Chu army camp. Li Gui led his scouts to follow Lu Yi and set fire to throw explosives. Wang Wu led his troops to guard the suspension bridge on the moat and put these After everything was arranged, he, Su Xingran, Sun Degui and others rode into the city!
During the seven or eight days of being surrounded in Tianquan County, Emperor Zheng and Su Chengxuan suddenly lost more than twenty kilograms. After hearing that Xu Daqing sent someone to report that Su Xingran was back, he was overjoyed and hurriedly came over with a few guards around him.
As soon as the father and daughter met, and there was no time to express their feelings of separation, Chen Xiaomu stepped in and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, please quickly order the city defenders to take something to light the fire, even a handful of grass. Kill them." Go out of the city and attack the Chu army in their camp!"
Su Chengxuan was startled and said angrily: "Who are you? What a loud tone!"
"Father, he is the sixth prince of the Chen Kingdom, Chen Xiaomu. Please give the order quickly, and the whole garrison in the city will be dispatched to attack the Chu army outside the city!"
Su Chengxuan was stunned again, "Isn't the sixth prince of the Chen Kingdom called Chen Hong?"
"Oh, father, there are twists and turns in the details. After the Chu army camp is broken tonight, can my daughter explain it to you in detail tomorrow morning?" Su Xingran was also anxious.
"Daughter, are Chen Guo's reinforcements arriving?" Su Chengxuan asked Su Xingran excitedly.
Before Su Xingran could say anything, Chen Xiaomu hurriedly intervened, "Yes, Your Majesty, my father has dispatched an army of 150,000 to attack the Chu army at the Chu army's camp. I hope that your Majesty will send out the army in the city to attack from inside and outside, and annihilate the besieging enemies in one fell swoop!"
Su Chengxuan listened carefully, and sure enough, there were shouts of killing outside the city, and the Chu army's camp was full of flames. He was immediately refreshed, "Come here, pass the order of the alliance, and all the officers and soldiers in the city will come out with flammable objects." Go to the city, and the reward for capturing the enemy chief Guo Huai will be 5,000 taels of silver, and the reward for capturing the deputy vanguard Meng Da will be 10,000 taels of silver, no matter life or death!"
Su Chengxuan gave an order, and all the city gates in Tianquan County were opened wide. Each of the tens of thousands of defenders in the city was holding a knife and a gun in one hand, and some hay, torches, and even linen torn from their own clothes in the other hand. , rushing to the Chu army camp to kill people and set fire!
Su Xingran was so excited that she picked up a spear, got on her horse, and was about to go out of the city to kill the enemy. Chen Xiaomu, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed her horse's reins and laughed, "There are so many soldiers attacking the Chu army's camp, so many There are not many of us, and there are not many of us. Besides, as for the princess who goes to battle to kill the enemy in person, it is better for us and my wife to watch the battle here!"
Su Xingran was riding on the horse and looked at Chen Xiaomu in surprise, "'Husband, how can you say that! One more person, more strength!"
Chen Xiaomu shrank his neck and said smoothly, "I'm afraid of death!"
Su Xingran burst into laughter, "Are you afraid of death, yet you dare to break into the Chu army camp and blow up Guo Huai and others? Are you afraid of death, yet dare to tell lies and lie to your father?"
Chen Xiaomu rolled his eyes, "Isn't there nothing we can do? I don't want to see you crying all day long!"
Su Xingran turned over and stepped off the horse, hugging Chen Xiaomu, "Thank you, husband!"
"Hey, why are you so polite to your husband!" Chen Xiaomu put his arms around Su Xingran and began to touch Su Xingran's body with his hands!
He was so sleepy that he hardly slept for two days and two nights. Chen Xiaomu actually fell asleep under the city wall of Tianquan County while holding Su Xingran in his arms. Although the killing sound from the Chu army camp across the river was loud, but He was still sleeping while holding Su Xingran, snoring like thunder!
I don't know how much time passed, but Chen Xiaomu and Su Xingran were awakened from their dreams by a violent cough very close to them. When they opened their eyes, they saw that it was already bright and there were a circle of unfamiliar faces standing around them. One of them was forty years old. The thin middle-aged man with three strands of beard on the left and right was glaring at him fiercely.
Su Xingran was startled and hurriedly stood up from Chen Xiaomu's arms. He lowered his head and shouted in a mosquito-like voice, "Father."
The middle-aged man ignored her and asked Chen Xiaomu coldly, "Sixth Prince, where are your Chen Kingdom's reinforcements?"
Chen Xiaomu said nothing, stood up and patted the dirt on his butt, took out a piece of linen cloth from his arms and handed it to Su Chengxuan, "Has your Majesty's Chu army's camp been destroyed?"
"So what if it's broken?" Su Chengxuan still looked cold!
Chen Xiaomu breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, this piece of linen cloth was left by a warrior of Zheng Guo who killed Guo Huai. Please give five thousand taels of silver to his family. As for Meng Da? He was killed by me. My wife Su Xingran can testify. If you don’t believe it, you can also ask General Zhong Xin and Simon Song to confirm it. I don’t want this bounty anymore. I lied in front of you, so I can make up for it!"
"Haha, you kid, do you know any rules when you call my daughter your wife?" Su Chengxuan looked at Chen Xiaomu's scoundrel look and finally couldn't help laughing. In fact, he He had already found Zhong Xin, Ximensong, Lu Yi and others to learn about the whole thing in detail. At that time, he felt that he could get Chen Ruchang's sixth prince, which was much better than Chen Ruchang's reinforcement of hundreds of thousands of troops. !
Su Chengxuan smiled, and Su Xingran and Chen Xiaomu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Su Chengxuan held Su Xingran's hand with one hand and Chen Xiaomu with the other, and said gently: "It's so cold to sleep outside today, come with me back to the city to find some warmth. Go to sleep somewhere, and when the celebration begins, I will have someone call you two.
"Father, didn't Uncle Sun say that the food and grass in the city are almost exhausted, so why are we holding a celebration party?" Su Xingran asked doubtfully.
Su Chengxuan smiled and said: "Daughter, we just seized the grain and grass they had hoarded at the Chu army camp. This grain and grass is enough for us and the people in the city to eat for a year!"
Chen Xiaomu said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, I think it is better to change the celebration party into a small-scale reward party, and reward the officials who have made great contributions in this battle. Don't forget that there are hundreds of thousands of Chu troops from Han Fei in Xinjing, the capital. , plus the Chu troops stationed in various places in Zheng State and part of the Chu army that defeated and fled this time, the Chu army can easily gather more than 200,000 troops for counterattack. Maybe the Emperor of Chu will add some more reinforcements. , then we will still be passive!"
Chen Xiaomu's words made Su Chengxuan frown. It's not that he hasn't thought about these things, but with the few troops he currently has, there is no way to solve this problem!
"Husband, why don't we evacuate Tianquan County first and spread out and hide in various parts of Zheng State? This way at least we won't be surrounded and eaten by them all at once!" Su Xingran put forward an idea that he had thought about for a long time! "
Chen Xiaomu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This happened to be defeated by the Chu army one by one. The main factor to win a war is nothing more than concentrating our troops! But how many troops do we still have to concentrate now?" Chen Xiaomu helplessly asked. Open your hands.
"Then what should we do now?" Su Xingran stared at Chen Xiaomu and asked.
Chen Xiaomu bowed his hand to Su Chengxuan and said, "Your Majesty, Xingran and I are going to have a rest first. We will not attend either the celebration party or the reward party. Please allow me and Xingran to accompany you tonight." dinner."
Su Chengxuan sighed, "You kid, how can you be so kind when the whole family has dinner together? It's a pity that Ran'er's mother and Yu'er are still in Xinjing and they don't know whether they are alive or dead?" Su Chengxuan Wiping his eyes, he waved his sleeves and said, "Forget it, let's not mention these sad things. Yun'er and I will wait for you two at the Tianquan County Yamen in the evening."
Chen Xiaomu and Su Xingran were arranged by Su Chengxuan to rest in an inn in Tianquan County. The room was warmed by a pot of charcoal. Su Xingran took off his clothes and took a bath with Chen Xiaomu in the shower room for the first time in more than ten days. After a pleasant hot bath, the two of them wiped off the water stains on their bodies, hugged each other and lay down on the bed. Su Xingran hugged Chen Xiaomu and whispered softly: "Husband, we must have a baby as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid we won't have another chance in the future!"
Chen Xiaomu smiled secretly, turned over and lay on Su Xingran, "How could there be no chance? I still expected you to give me at least five or seven children!"
