Chapter 365 Hope something happens to the prince?
In fact, the situation on Qin Jingyu's side is indeed not very optimistic.
They had already forced southern Xinjiang to surrender.
But who would have thought that it suddenly started to rain heavily. Although the army was not afraid of getting wet in the rain, they were also afraid that the people from southern Xinjiang would launch a surprise attack.
In addition, if the heavy rain continues, it will also affect their food supply.
In the tent, Chen Ya walked back and forth listening to the sound of rain outside.
She frowned and said to Duanmu Jin: "Sister Duanmu, if the rain continues, it will be bad for our Great Chu army!"
Not to mention anything else, as long as Nanjiang stays in the city and doesn't come out, he can wait until Da Chu gives up.
Also, if the heavy rain continues, there might be a flood!
Concubine Jin, now known as Duanmu Jin, looked at the rain outside calmly.
"The prince won't sit still and wait for death. We just need to wait for his orders."
Duanmu Jin had previously thought that Concubine Rou's son would become a crooked person after growing up in such a shady place like the Duke's Mansion.
Later I learned that he only knew how to fight and was just a military man.
But after observing for so long, I found that the prince is indeed a man of both civil and military talents. He will definitely have a better way to deal with this situation.
Duanmu Jin said seriously: "We will just follow the commander's orders."
Qin Jingyu was indeed thinking about this matter.
It has been raining for three days.
If this continues, it will definitely be disadvantageous to Da Chu, and the other party may take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Also, once the river bank bursts, it will be another troublesome matter.
However, the same thing is an opportunity for Southern Xinjiang, but perhaps it is also an opportunity for Da Chu.
One of the counselors said cautiously: "Southern Xinjiang is afraid of being attacked, and they don't have enough troops now, so they may not dare to attack us."
Qin Jingyu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "They don't dare, but we do."
"Deploy immediately and attack the city."
When it rains, not only the Great Chu but perhaps the guards in southern Xinjiang will become slack.
In fact, this matter is also being discussed in southern Xinjiang.
They split into two factions.
"Your Majesty, this heavy rain is definitely helping our Southern Border. We can take advantage of the Chu army's rest to launch a surprise attack on them!"
"By then, the Great Chu Army will definitely be severely damaged and will no longer besiege our southern border."
Some people also expressed different opinions:
"We are short of manpower now. If we launch a surprise attack rashly, will it really cause serious damage to the Chu army?"
"What if they take advantage of the chaos and attack us? Wouldn't that be more harm than good?"
The two sides started arguing.
At the same time, a third view has emerged:
"Your Majesty, we can actually write a letter to Xiliang and continue to cooperate with them."
Immediately, someone opposed him.
"Still continue to cooperate with Xiliang? Have you forgotten that Xiliang's princess is in the Chu army? Who knows if Xiliang has secretly allied with the Chu?"
"If we really unite with Xiliang, and if we fall into a trap and Southern Xinjiang is destroyed, will you be responsible?"
The King of Southern Xinjiang had a headache from the noise.
His eyes fell on Gu Xueyi, who had been silent all this time.
King of Southern Xinjiang: "Gu Xueyi, why are you silent?"
Gu Xueyi clasped his hands and said, "I don't have any better ideas..."
King of Southern Xinjiang: "Then tell me your ideas, don't pretend to be dumb here one by one. I don't let you become officials to support dumb people!"
The successive defeats made the King of Southern Xinjiang restless and irritable.
Who could have thought that Qin Jingyu, who was only the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion and only in his teens, could force their southern Xinjiang army to retreat step by step.
Now, he has become the crown prince of Great Chu and is even more difficult to deal with.
Gu Xueyi sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the Great Chu probably doesn't want to and won't destroy our Southern Border for the time being, so when the heavy rain continues for a while, they will be unable to hold on and will evacuate first."
"In fact, they have achieved their goal. We will not take any further action in the next few years."
The entire country's military forces were shattered.
This time they were even forced to the capital.
Even if the other two countries wanted to find an alliance, they probably wouldn't look down on their southern border.
In fact, the King of Southern Xinjiang was also a little afraid of Qin Jingyu.
Finally, he pretended to listen to the opinions of his ministers, and finally waved his hand and said:
"This heavy rain is just right for my southern border to recuperate. Let's just wait for God's blessing, and then the Chu army will retreat!"
After the King of Southern Xinjiang said this, no one dared to raise any objections and they all said goodbye and left.
Gu Xueyi also hurried back to his mansion.
After he returned home, he immediately called the butler and the chief guard.
"You must lock all the doors of the mansion immediately. From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave. No outsiders will be seen."
Butler: "Master, what happened?"
Gu Xueyi sighed, "I feel very uneasy, always worried that the Chu army will attack us. But fortunately, the Crown Prince of Great Chu has a good character and will not kill innocent people. All we need to do is stay indoors when the time comes."
He probably won't be able to escape, but at least he can protect his family from getting into trouble.
In addition, after giving instructions to the butler and the chief guard, Gu Xueyi went to the backyard again.
Madam Gu and others were terrified, but Madam Gu was relatively calm and composed.
She sighed, "When the Third Princess went to Da Chu to marry, it actually bought time for us in Southern Xinjiang to recuperate."
"Why did you poison her?"
Now, Da Chu attacked Southern Xinjiang in the name of seeking justice for the Third Princess, and Da Chu discovered that Southern Xinjiang had torn up the treaty and almost cooperated with Xiliang...
Gu Xueyi: "The Third Princess will definitely hate us."
Madam Gu: "Forget it. It would be fine if the Chu army does not break into the city. Once they do, I will go out with you and hope that others can be exempted from blame."
The status of their Marquisate in southern Xinjiang is still very important, not to mention that their Gu family also has a queen.
Gu Xueyi actually wanted to sacrifice himself when it was absolutely necessary.
He secretly made up his mind to plead for his mother.
In fact, there were also some ministers in southern Xinjiang who shared the same idea as Gu Xueyi. They were also pessimistic and thought that perhaps the Chu army would attack.
So they all chose to close their doors.
Regardless of whether people were feeling fortunate or extremely pessimistic, no one was willing to respond positively for the time being.
Several ministers who had previously proposed a surprise attack on the Chu army were also very disappointed.
After they left the palace, they made an appointment to go out for a drink together.
The ruler of the country is not strong, and the national strength is not strong. They all have a sense of decadence that they have great ambitions but nowhere to display them.
If this is the case for officials, the people should do what they should do.
The war outside has nothing to do with them.
Since the King of Southern Xinjiang is not in a hurry, they are naturally not in a hurry either.
Even the guards at the city gate relaxed because of the heavy rain.
"This heavy rain is God's way of saving us in southern Xinjiang."
Everyone thought the same thing.
So they all ignored the fact that in the darkness, there were several shadows quietly climbing up the city wall.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, blurring people's vision, and it was dark again.
Therefore, the guards in southern border did not notice at all that the Chu army was lying on the ground motionless, covered with black cloth under the city wall.
The man in black finally succeeded in climbing up to the city wall.
During this period, only one guard noticed the clues.
But before he could open his mouth, Zhu Feng wiped his neck neatly.
The rain instantly washed away the blood on the dagger.
Zhufeng led his group to the city gate safely, and then they worked together to lift the logs down.
The heavy door was slowly pushed open.
The dull sound was also drowned out by the sound of rain.
There was a guard on the city wall. He thought he heard some sound. He rubbed his eyes, leaned his head and looked down towards the city wall.
He said to his companion beside him: "Am I dazzled? Why do I feel like there are waves under the city wall?"
His companions laughed at him, "How heavy would the rain have to be to turn the outside into a river?"
"However, even if it turns into a river, it will first flood the Chu army, which is a good thing."
Everyone laughed.
Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound and the sound of drums came from under the city wall.
“Go!”
Seeing the black "sea" suddenly surge up with huge waves, the Chu army rushed in one after another after the black cloth was lifted.
The Southern Xinjiang Army was all dumbfounded...
The people in southern Xinjiang were already badly weakened, so they didn't want to fight. And because the heavy rain had eased, they just wanted to sit back and reap the benefits.
Plus, they were at odds among themselves.
Compared with the Chu army, although they fought a long battle, they were all brave and good at fighting. They had also had an absolute advantage psychologically because they had always won before.
The most important thing is that the Chu army is united as one.
No one does not believe in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Crisis is also an opportunity.
The Chu people seized this opportunity, and their army instantly broke into the capital of Southern Xinjiang, marched straight into the imperial city!
Qin Jingyu's armor was soaked, and raindrops were dripping down his forehead.
He directed calmly and calmly.
Take over the defense of the city and important government offices, and finally, aim at the imperial palace!
**
Da Chu, the capital.
The rain lasted for half a month before it stopped, and then it became extremely hot again.
Lin Qingning has had a poor appetite recently and the weather is hot, but because she is pregnant, she can't put too much ice in the house.
I still don't know how the war in southern Xinjiang is going.
However, the first memorial delivered to the desk of Emperor Ming He was about some areas in the south where floods broke through the dikes, people began to move, and the number of refugees increased dramatically.
If this matter is not properly resolved, I'm afraid Xiliang will take the opportunity to cause trouble.
If something happens in Xiliang, it will probably affect the war in southern Xinjiang.
Emperor Minghe also knew that this matter was very important.
He specially sent Prince Jing and the Minister of Revenue Sun Jin to supervise the disaster relief work and make sure to appease the people.
Prince Jing took the task very seriously. He immediately called Sun Jin and then went to find his father-in-law, the Minister of Revenue Du Feng, to discuss the matter together.
It happened that Lin Qingning had just come out of Queen Jiang's palace and met them on the palace road.
Everyone greeted each other.
Prince Jing felt a little complicated when looking at his sister-in-law Lin Qingning.
In fact, during this period of time, he secretly hoped that his brother, the Crown Prince, would encounter some kind of accident during the war in southern Xinjiang...
