Chapter 295 Good News
Chen Guo.
Qishan.
The rebel camp.
At this moment, Qin Sheng was discussing the next war plan with other rebel generals.
"Master, the Yan army has invaded Guangning City!"
Manager Shi walked hurriedly to Qin Sheng.
At this time, there were many other rebel generals beside Qin Sheng.
Upon hearing that the Yan army had captured Guangning City, some of them were happy, but many were also worried.
"Very good. The imperial army will definitely have no time to take care of us now. Next, we will continue to attack southward and continue to take back the fiefdom that belongs to our Qin family."
There was a hint of joy in Qin Sheng's eyes.
"They even occupied Guangning City? It seems that their next target is likely to be Zhu City."
someone said.
"The Yan army wants to use us to seize the land of Chen."
Wu Zhen frowned.
"Then wouldn't that make us traitors colluding with the enemy country?"
"Now we are all rebels, and the imperial court has long wanted us dead. Does it matter whether we are colluding with the enemy or not?" someone else said.
Seeing that these rebel generals had doubts in their hearts, Qin Sheng comforted them: "Since we have accepted the assistance of Yan State, it is inevitable that we have to do something for them."
Ever since the battle of Zhucheng, Qin Sheng no longer had any arrogance in his heart. As long as he could restore the Qin family, he had no worries at all about the State of Yan taking advantage of their group of rebels.
The Qin family does not seek the whole world, they just want to take back what belongs to them. As long as the Yan State does not target the Qin family, everything will be fine.
Qin Sheng said: "I heard that the Yan army only wants to retake the three states in the east of the lake, and they will not attack our sphere of influence."
The rebels are not united now, and he does not need enough prestige to integrate these forces.
At this time, a rebel soldier came to report: "Master, the third batch of supplies from Yan State has also arrived."
Qin Sheng was even more surprised and said, "Very good, then we can advance the attack plan."
"I didn't expect that this Yan person would really keep his promise."
Wu Zhen was also quite surprised.
"Boss, here is a letter from the commander of the Yan army. Please take a look."
As the soldier spoke, he handed Jiang Zuo's letter to Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng quickly took the letter and opened it.
"Our Yan army has begun to attack the State of Chen. Our target will be the entire State of Chen. Next, you will continue to develop your base. The Yan army will not be your enemy and will continue to provide you with supplies... Our Yan State can help more noble families to regain your territory, but the premise is that you noble families need to help our Yan State destroy the State of Chen."
"He wants all the noble families of Chen to help Yan?"
Qin Sheng thought to himself.
The Qin clan was not the only one that suffered persecution in the State of Chen.
The Chen court was now corrupt, and voices of dissatisfaction had already been heard from various places.
Since Prime Minister Liu took charge of the government, he began to persecute the gentry within the Chen State.
The power of these local aristocratic families had long been deeply rooted and had almost broken away from the rule of the State of Chen, but they still acknowledged the rule of the State of Chen on the surface.
As a result, the Chen court was unable to collect more taxes from various places. Seeing that the treasury was becoming increasingly empty, Emperor Chen and Prime Minister Liu and his party decided to stab the knife towards these powerful aristocratic families.
Jiang Zuo also understood that if Yan wanted to destroy Chen, a crucial point was whether it could get the help of Chen's aristocratic families.
In the eyes of these aristocratic families, there is only family but no country. As long as they are given enough benefits, this group of people can accept the change of dynasties.
Qin Sheng put away the letter and had a plan in mind.
……
Yan State.
Beijing.
Inside the Zhonghe Hall, the ministers were presenting memorials to the empress one by one.
Chen Qingyun raised his head, held his forehead, and a hint of fatigue appeared in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, the third batch of supplies from the rear has all been transported to the front. The battle report from the front says that everything is going smoothly. Our army has successfully recaptured Guangning City."
An official reported to the empress.
Hearing this, Chen Qingyun's slightly tired face finally showed some joy, and he said, "Very good, we must stabilize the food and grass supply in the rear. The soldiers in the front are fighting bloody battles, and the rear must not neglect them."
"The ministers obey the order."
All the ministers bowed and said.
At this moment, someone was heard saying, "Your Majesty, the Jiang Patrol has sent a report of victory from the front line!"
Hearing that it was a letter from Jiang Zuo, Chen Qingyun sat up straight and said, "Read it quickly."
"Your Majesty, in the first battle of this southern expedition to the State of Chen, our army successfully recaptured Guangning City. Thanks to the Ninth Prince's strategy and the bravery of the Huainan Army, our army made rapid progress. After a few days of rest, we will continue to march south to recapture the lost territory."
"If it weren't for the Ninth Prince and the soldiers who went on the southern expedition, I really wouldn't be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of this southern expedition. I've been a bit of a drag, so please don't blame me, Your Majesty."
In the good news, Jiang Zuo attributed all the credit to Chen Xiu.
After hearing this, some officials in the court showed a meaningful expression on their faces.
"So it's all thanks to the Ninth Prince?"
I thought you, Jiang Zuo, were quite capable, but I didn't expect that you still relied on the Ninth Prince to win the first battle.
This is not surprising. After all, when the Ninth Prince did not go to Jiangzhou to assist, Jiangzuo was still delayed again and again. It seems that it was only after the Ninth Prince arrived in Jiangzhou that the southern expedition made some progress.
We have only just captured Guangning City, and it is far from time to celebrate.
Only half of the letter that Jiang Zuo submitted to the emperor could be believed.
Chen Qingyun knew this very well, and she was skeptical about Jiang Zuo's good news.
But as long as there is progress on the front line, everything will be fine.
As for whether this success is really all due to the Ninth Prince, it is actually not important.
Because both the Ninth Prince and Jiang Zuo are the people Chen Qingyun trusts the most. As long as this southern expedition is a great success, Chen Qingyun can take this opportunity to promote these confidants and replace the old stubborn people in the court.
The people who were most unhappy upon hearing the good news were naturally the peace faction in the court, led by Right Prime Minister Lu Jun.
They thought Jiang Zuo was just talking big, but they didn't expect that he actually recaptured an important city.
"Guangning City has been occupied by the State of Chen for a hundred years. Now that our dynasty has recaptured it, it is truly cause for celebration!"
At this time, the left prime minister Wei Hong stepped forward and said.
The victory on the front line inspired these war enthusiasts.
At least now it has been proven that going south to conquer the State of Chen was definitely a correct decision.
Chen Qingyun looked calm on the surface, but he was already overjoyed in his heart. He said calmly: "This time the first battle of the southern expedition was a victory, and all the soldiers have made great contributions. In the future, they can continue to work hard and recover the entire three states of Hudong."
At this moment, Chen Qingyun couldn't help but think of Jiang Zuo.
I just hope everything goes well for him...
