After Jiangxia was captured yesterday, Ji Shu rushed to Dangtu overnight after receiving an urgent report from Dangtu. Taishi Ci was appointed by Ji Shu to temporarily supervise all affairs in Jiangxia, so today he is handling official affairs in the governor's mansion in Jiangxia.
"Brother Ziyi, has Brother Gan already led the army and set off?"
Wasn't this already discussed at the military meeting last night?
Looking at Huang Yueying who hurriedly walked to the front, Tai Shici nodded in confusion and affirmed.
"It's natural. Soldiers are valuable and quick. Xingba led his troops to conquer Xiakou early today."
"Sister Yueying, didn't you say you were going to meet your parents and then rushed to Dangtu to see that brat Han Zong? Why are you back again?"
Yueying hesitated and hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"Brother Ziyi, can you please send more scouts to investigate the surrounding areas of Jiangxia?"
Taishi Ci frowned and slowly stood up.
Upon hearing such a request, some people might say, "Women's nonsense!", but Taishi Ci would not think so.
In fact, Tai Shici didn't know Huang Yueying very well. She is Ji Shu's wife, and Taishi Ci's understanding of her is limited to etiquette. But he had heard of her talent name Tai Shi Ci for a long time, and he believed that it was definitely not a joke that his lord appointed Huang Yueying as the deputy general of the Yulin Army and one of the military advisors in the conquest of Jingzhou.
"what happened?"
Taishi Ci asked seriously.
As if giving up, Yueying knew that she could not give Taishi Ci an explanation, so she sighed and said.
"The Jiangdong family can't tolerate their lord, how can the Jingzhou family tolerate it? Alas, I hope I'm overthinking it."
······
Early that morning, Huang Mansion in the south of the city became lively.
"Master, I'm back! I'm back! The eldest lady is back!"
Huang Chengyan and his wife Cai were having breakfast when the housekeeper ran in excitedly to report.
Behind the housekeeper, Huang Yueying timidly poked out her little head and walked into the house with small steps.
"Dad...Mother..."
"snort!"
Huang Chengyan snorted heavily through his nose and said nothing with a cold face.
The beautiful woman looked surprised. She knew that Jiangdong's army had captured Jiangxia, but she didn't expect that her daughter would also go home with the army. She quickly pulled Yueying to sit down next to her. The beautiful woman kept looking at it, as if she was looking at a piece of unparalleled jade, and she couldn't get enough of it.
"Where's that bastard boy?"
Seeing the mother and daughter looking at each other sweetly and affectionately, Huang Chengyan coughed lightly and asked.
Yueying, who has always been bold and bold, immediately shrank her head and replied.
"Dangtu sent an urgent report, and Ziyuan went to Dangtu to handle the matter."
Huang Chengyan's brows trembled imperceptibly, and he scolded again.
"How dare this bastard kid kidnap my daughter! Now that you are married to him, does he still dare not come to see me?"
Yueying raised her head slightly and protested in a low voice.
"No, if Tu really has urgent military affairs, he must handle them."
Huang Chengyan looked unbelieving when he heard this and snorted again and turned his head away.
The beautiful woman rolled her eyes at Huang Chengyan and pushed the snacks on the table in front of Yueying.
"Don't worry about your dad, you're stubborn. Come on, here are the snacks we just made, try them!"
"Thank you, mother!"
Yueying immediately beamed, reached out and started eating deliciously.
"Is it tasty?"
"Yeah! It's delicious!"
Seeing Yueying say this, the beautiful woman smiled sweetly, feeling happier than eating it herself.
Huang Chengyan said this without looking back.
"Hmph, a loving mother often loses her sons."
The beautiful woman was furious and glared at Huang Chengyan with a groan. When she turned to look at Yueying, the woman's face was filled with smile again.
"I heard that you, little girl, have made a fortune and become a female official?"
Yueying proudly held up her nose and showed off to her mother.
"I am at the level of a general, the same level as Prefect Huang!"
Huang Taishou naturally refers to Huang Zu. The Huang family, two of the five major families in Jingzhou, is located in Jiangxia. Huang Chengyan and Huang Zu are the heads of the two families respectively. However, Huang Zu was in politics and his status in Jiangxia was higher than that of Huang Chengyan.
Then aren't you more powerful than your father?
The beautiful woman giggled and didn't say anything. She just looked at Huang Chengyan with a teasing look.
"So, it's you who leads the troops to fight your uncle this time?"
The beautiful woman is the eldest daughter of the Cai family, her younger brother is the general Cai Mao, and her younger sister is married to Liu Biao, the current king of Han.
Upon hearing this, Yueying quickly assured the beautiful woman.
"Mom, don't worry. After I catch my uncle, I will definitely plead with Brother Bofu and I won't let anything happen to my uncle!"
"Well, that's pretty much it."
The beautiful woman grabbed Yueying's little hand and pretended.
"Why don't you thank you first for your uncle here?"
Yueying was slightly startled and followed suit.
"That's right, that's right. Mom, you're welcome."
Huang Chengyan turned around speechlessly and glared at the two mother and daughter, but he couldn't stop the two from playing and laughing.
With a sigh, Huang Chengyan grabbed the chopsticks and compared them with each other.
"Have a meal!"
After breakfast, Yueying said that she had to go to bed because of official duties and went out. But when she walked out of the Huang Mansion, Yueying's face became uncertain.
What does it mean when my mother wrote "five hundred" on the palm of my hand?
You can't say it in front of your father!
All Yueying could think of was the Huang family's five hundred iron guards, which were the Huang family's private soldiers.
Since private soldiers are going to be used, then naturally there is going to be a war?
Yueying's expression changed. She thought of the Jianye family murder case.
When Jiangdong's army occupied Jingzhou, they would naturally implement Jiangdong's New Deal. The Jianye family refused to compromise with Sun Ce, so could the Jingzhou family be easy to talk to?
But there are only four aristocratic families in Jiangxia. Do they really dare to take action against Jiangdong Army?
Yueying was a little unsure. She didn't know if she might have misunderstood her mother's intentions.
No matter what, she must go to Dangtu to find Ji Shu to come back and take charge of Jiangxia City, because Ji Shu is the commander appointed by Sun Ce to conquer Jiangxia. But before that, she had to meet Tai Shici.
Mounting her horse, Yueying galloped towards the prefect's mansion.
······
That afternoon, 25,000 Han troops surrounded Jiangxia on three sides, leaving only the south gate.
Taishi Ci stood on the city wall and looked out, sweat dripping from his back.
If he hadn't responded to Yueying's request and sent out a large number of scouts to investigate, he might not have known that there was such a large army hidden in the mountains and forests to the north!
If the Han army were to attack the city at night without any precautions, Taishi Ci really couldn't guarantee that he would be able to defend Jiangxia City with his current strength.
