Chapter 149: Rescue Kunyang
Chapter 149: Rescue Kunyang
At noon, the chief accountant.
The main tent is located in the center of the camp, towering high, magnificent and spectacular.
It is built with thick canvas and sturdy wooden poles to withstand wind and rain.
The top of the tent is cone-shaped and is inflated by the wind.
Qin Rubing and Zuo Qingyun walked into the main tent together. It was spacious and bright, with thick carpets on the floor, soft and comfortable.
Inside the tent was a huge wooden table covered with a map and surrounded by several beautifully carved chairs.
When Qin Rubing and Zuo Qingyun walked in, Chu Tiancheng was sitting at the table reading the information delivered by the messenger.
Seeing them come in, Chu Tiancheng handed the information to them.
Intelligence shows that Xiao Yifei has assembled 40 troops in Linshan Town.
Qin Rubing understood. Although she had known about this situation for a long time, the information had just been delivered, so Chu Tiancheng only knew about it.
She looked at Chu Tiancheng and saw that he had a frown on his face and a serious expression.
Zuo Qingyun's tone was also a little heavy, and he said: "I didn't expect Xiao Yifei to be able to mobilize so many people."
Zhou Zihan said anxiously: "We only brought 10 people this time, and Xiao Yifei actually has four times as many troops as us."
Chu Tiancheng stood up and looked down at the map.
Everyone gathered around as well.
Chu Tiancheng suddenly turned around and asked Zhou Zihan, "How many days will it take for Xiao Yifei's 40 troops to get here from Linshan Town?"
Zhou Zihan looked at the map, thought for a moment, and said, "Maybe it will only take three days at the fastest?"
Chu Tiancheng stood there expressionlessly, his eyes cold and deep. His silence made the entire tent seem depressing and dull.
The people in the main tent did not dare to speak easily, as if they were suppressed by his majesty.
For a moment, there was only the sound of light breathing and nervous heartbeats intertwined together, making people feel an unspeakable pressure.
After a while, Zhou Zihan said with gritted teeth:
“From the current situation, there are 2 southern troops in Dingyang City, and they occupied this place four days ago.
During these four days, they had made sufficient preparations, built a large number of fortifications, and stockpiled food and fodder.
Dingyang City is now easy to defend but difficult to attack. On the one hand, they are blocking us, and on the other hand, they are buying time for Xiao Yifei to assemble his army.
Although we have more people than them, we cannot take Dingyang in a short time."
Qin Rubing asked, "Where did the 20,000 people who set out earlier go?"
Zhou Zihan glanced at Chu Tiancheng, and seeing that he had no objection, he said:
"Among them, 10,000 are in Kunyang and 10,000 are in Nanyang."
After a pause, he said again:
"We really didn't expect that Xiao Yifei's vanguard of 20,000 people bypassed Nanyang and Kunyang and went straight to Dingyang."
He looked at Qin Rubing and explained further:
“When Peng Qing led 20,000 men through Nanyang and Kunyang, he bypassed the cities instead of attacking them.
Our people did not receive any orders from the prince, so they were not exposed and hid in the city without making any moves. "
Qin Rubing nodded to show that she understood.
She looked at the map and said tentatively:
"How about we allocate some of our troops to bypass Dingyang and reinforce Kunyang and Nanyang?"
Zhou Zihan shook his head and said:
“Dingyang is the largest of the three cities and has a higher strategic position.
If we divide our troops and reduce the number of troops besieging the city, we may not be able to capture Dingyang.
If we fail to capture Dingyang, it will be very disadvantageous to us.
The defenders of Dingyang may take the initiative to attack, and if that happens, we may be in danger of being attacked from both sides."
Qin Rubing suddenly raised her voice: "I just need to take my people and find me thirteen horses, and we will go to Kunyang."
What?! Several people looked at Qin Rubing at the same time.
"Nonsense!" Chu Tiancheng shouted.
Qin Rubing said calmly:
“Your Majesty, just lead everyone to focus on attacking Dingyang.
I am in Kunyang, blocking Xiao Yifei's 400,000 troops for you."
