the next day.
As soon as Xiao Yuan woke up, the woman was already entangled with him. Her face was red and she was a little shy. She whispered: "Your Majesty, can I still serve you in the future?"
With the man moisturizing her, she became even more charming.
Just like a ripe peach, it tastes wonderful.
Xiao Yuan did not answer this sentence and patted her gently.
No matter how red her face becomes...
At breakfast, Xiao Yuan ate with her.
Not long after, Xu Rong stepped in. He glanced at the woman secretly, then clasped his fists and bent down and said, "According to the king's instructions, all the generals have arrived."
"Okay." Xiao Yuan put down the bowl and chopsticks, stood up and wiped his hands with a handkerchief.
After a while, the meeting hall.
All the generals gathered together, and when they saw Xiao Yuan approaching, people bowed their hands and said, "See your Majesty——"
Xiao Yuan kept walking, walking from the middle to the commander's seat directly above him. After sitting down, he raised his hand slightly to indicate that everyone did not need to be polite, and then he got straight to the point: "Today, all the main forces of Wu and Chu have been wiped out. How to make progress next, everyone Any suggestions?”
Wang Su was the first to go out and said: "Although our army has already crossed the Yangtze River, Wu and Chu coexist in the south of the Yangtze River. The territory is vast and there are many counties and counties. In my opinion, we should first occupy the important city that extends in all directions to ensure that everything is safe, and then look down on the Wu capital. "
His opinion was in favor of planting Qin army flags in the cities near Wudu to isolate the capital.
Another general said: "Although the enemy is weak now, the foundation of Wu and Chu is still there. It is not as good as Xu Tu to make progress and engulf us step by step."
This proposal is to use Deyang as the starting point and spread in all directions. The advantage is that it can completely stabilize the occupied territory.
After hearing this, Su Yi immediately said: "If we fight steadily, we will give Wu Chu time to breathe. Now that they have lost the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, our army can march straight in, ignore other cities, and directly attack with lightning speed. We can attack the capital of Wu and force the king of Wu to surrender. As long as the capital of Wu is firm, there will only be some stragglers in other counties, so there is nothing to worry about."
This is a battle that will determine the outcome.
Xiao Yuan heard this, thought about it for a moment, and said decisively: "Su Yi's strategy is very much what I want, but it needs to be slightly modified."
With that said, he looked around again and said, "I wish to divide my 350,000-strong army into three groups."
"On the first route, Su Yi will lead one hundred thousand troops, marching under starry night, to attack Wudu!"
"The second route, led by Yan Qi, will lead a hundred thousand troops to attack Chuzhou directly!"
"The third route is our main force, advancing slowly. While occupying the city, it will also open up key roads for the first two armies and ensure the delivery of favorable supply lines."
This is the next offensive route. After the strategy was explained, Jia You immediately agreed and said: "This strategy is excellent. Not only can we quickly pacify Jiangnan, but also our army will be behind us, so we will be safe."
Everyone nodded.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan made a decision: "Okay! Let's march according to this strategy! All the troops will go down and prepare immediately!"
"No!" All the generals clasped their fists and accepted the order.
The Qin army only rested in Deyang for one day, but the mobilization of troops in batches required some preparations. After these were completed, Su Yi and Yan Qi also led their troops out of Deyang respectively, and quickly marched along two routes.
Another day later, Xiao Yuan also led the main army and prepared to capture the next city, Jiangzhou.
At this time, Deyang City had gone through wars and could not be as prosperous as before. However, under the notice of peace and security, some people were still walking on the streets.
Xiao Yuan rode a war horse, followed by the Qin army soldiers in black armor and red tassels. Amidst the sound of neat armor clashing, halberds were like a forest, and flags were flying.
After arriving at the residence, the charming woman was standing in front of the door, looking expectantly on tiptoe.
When she saw Xiao Yuan, her face was obviously happy and she wanted to step forward, but she didn't dare.
Xiao Yuan also saw her, turned his head slightly and said, "Why is she here?"
He asked Xu Rong, who didn't know how to answer: "This..."
"Send her to the county government for resettlement first."
"promise."
Xu Rong responded, quickly dismounted, walked quickly to the woman, and said respectfully: "Madam, please move to the county mansion. There will be people watching over you. If you need anything, just ask."
As he spoke, he bent down and stretched out his hand.
The woman bit her lower lip lightly, and while following Xu Rong away, she turned back three times with each step, with tears hidden in her eyes.
Xiao Yuan smiled gently at her and said, "When the war is over, I will come to pick you up."
"I will always be waiting for your Majesty in Deyang."
She saluted politely, stood there, and looked up at Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan nodded, then waved his hand: "Let's go!"
The army passed through the city in a mighty manner.
At this time, the Jiangzhou County Sheriff was hurriedly packing up his belongings, taking his whole family, old and young, as well as his servants and running away with their money.
A county treasury contains local people's livelihood and tax revenue, and there is a lot of gold, silver, money and grain. However, with the escape of the county guard, the Jiangzhou government was instantly paralyzed and the political system collapsed. How could officials at all levels care about so much? Each one ran faster than the other, and local officers and soldiers came together in groups, taking advantage of the opportunity to 'robber homes' and steal gold and silver. Without the control of the law, it is conceivable that all kinds of local gangsters were active. As a result, before the Qin army arrived, Jiangzhou was already in chaos.
This is what war brings.
It will instantly change a peaceful place.
There is no doubt that the Qin army will have to clean up this mess.
The streets were in a mess, with many people screaming in panic.
In a wealthy businessman's house, more than a dozen servants were holding sticks and guarding the door of the house, fearing that the unrest would spread here.
The housekeeper also said to a man dressed as a businessman: "Sir, the whole city is in chaos. Do we need to think of some escape options?"
"What retreat?"
"Here, I heard that the Qin army is about to attack, and there are rumors that the King of Qin wants to massacre all the people of Jiangzhou to intimidate Jiangnan."
"That's nonsense!" The businessman frowned and said, "These rumors are all deliberately creating chaos. Why did King Qin massacre Jiangzhou? This is completely unreasonable. You don't need to panic."
As he spoke, he added: "Moreover, Qin's military attack will not affect my Liu family, because I am an old friend of Princess Qin's father. I helped the Gu family a lot when they moved to Jiangzhou."
"Oh? So, I am kind to Princess Qin!" The housekeeper beamed with joy.
"In any case, the Liu family's property is all in Jiangzhou. When King Qin leads his army into the city, I will find a way to visit him."
The businessman said, and then said to the servants: "Protect the gate of the house. After this matter is over, I will give you a big reward."
"Don't worry, sir, those bullies will never step into the Liu family!" Upon hearing the reward, all the servants cheered up.
Jiangzhou is in chaos.
A few days later, Xiao Yuan led his army to the outside of the city. He looked up and saw that there was no soldier anywhere on the top of the city. At the city gate, there were some people who seemed to be fighting for something. When they saw the overwhelming Qin army, they were shocked. He yelled and dispersed.
Xiao Yuan frowned slightly, waved his hand and said: "Enter the city!"
