Chapter 17:
In the direction of Jiang Du.
Yang Guang, the current emperor of the Sui Dynasty, was preparing to go south to ensure that the Emperor would not be harassed by the rebel army when he arrived in Jiangdu.
In order to protect the safety of the royal family, he had come to protect his son and arrived in Jiangdu Prefecture in advance.
He had been setting up defenses in Jiangdu and preparing to welcome His Majesty's arrival.
However, during the entire process, Cao Yun, who had risen from Wujiang County, quickly attracted Lai Hu 'er's attention. It should be said that since Liyang County was taken down, Lai Hu' er had been paying attention to him.
In less than a month, the rebel army of Liyang County had taken down Lujiang County, Huainan County, Tong 'an County, and other counties.
It could be said that they had become the strongest force in the Huai River region and were a serious threat to the safety of Jiang Du.
This finally made Lai Hu 'er alert. After all, not much time had passed since Liyang County had been taken.
This was especially so when the rebels took down Tong 'an and Jinchun counties in less than ten days, which shocked Lai Hu' er even more.
This rebel army seemed to have suddenly risen up and occupied more than half of the Huai River region. This was a huge threat to Jiang Du.
"We definitely can't let them continue like this.”
Lai Hu 'er said in a deep voice.
His expression was extremely solemn. He had learned this information from the battle report on the table. From then on, his expression had also become solemn.
If the rebel army continued to develop, it would inevitably lead to the possibility of Jiangdu falling. Moreover, Princess Ruyi was in the city, so he had made the decision to deal with the rebel army.
"As the commander of the army stationed in Jiang Du, I order Xin Wenli and his sister to lead 20,000 elites to attack the Wu River.”
Lai Hu 'er used the commander's seal to issue the military order while the deputy general recorded all the orders from the governor. Finally, he used the seal to deliver the order to Xin Wenli and Xin Wenger from Danyang County.
"Considering that the rebel forces on the Wu River are not bad, we will transfer 30,000 troops from the Jiang Capital to support them. All of them will listen to Xin Wenli's orders, a total of 50,000 elite troops.”
Then, Lai Hu 'er added.
Whether it was Jiang Du's 30,000 troops or Pill Sun County's 20,000 troops, these Sui troops were all elite troops. If they were gathered together, they would have 50,000 elite troops.
Why did Lai Hu 'er suddenly give the order to send out the elite troops of Pill Sun County? Moreover, when he was preparing to deal with Lujiang County, he subconsciously thought of the new civil ceremony and the elite Sui army of Jiang Du.
That was because Lai Hu 'er had originally ordered Xin Wenli and his sister to lead 50,000 troops to assist King Reliance Yang Lin in taking down the village.
It was because of the sudden rise of the Lujiang County rebel army that they had no choice but to use this elite 50,000-strong army to deal with the Lujiang County rebel army.
Moreover, Lai Hu 'er knew very well that only by using these 50,000 elite Sui troops could he possibly resolve the matter of the rebel army in Lujiang County. Only then would he have some confidence.
The military order had already been written, and the letter of the military order even contained detailed information about Lujiang County. After all the preparations were completed, the deputy general who came to protect his son sent the letter to Pill Sun County using the new method of pigeon delivery.
"I hope that the next time I hear news about Wu River, it will be the time to completely destroy it and capture the rebel leaders.”
Lai Hu 'er said indifferently.
After issuing this military order, Lai Hu 'er's expression became much better. It seemed that he was very confident in Xin Wenli and his sister.
After all, Xin Wenli's ranking among the heroes of the world was still relatively high. Not only was his martial strength good, but his military talent was also not to be underestimated. Lai Hu 'er admired him very much.
As for his younger sister Xin Wen 'e, although she was not ranked among the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, she still had strength that could not be underestimated.
......
It didn't take long for Xin Wenli to receive the letter.
He quickly asked his sister Xin Wen'e to come to the meeting hall. The siblings planned to discuss related matters.
"Elder brother, what's the matter?"
Dressed in military attire, Xin Wen'e slowly walked over. She had long eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, and her long hair was firmly fixed with a hairpin. This Xin Wen'e had a beautiful face that could topple cities, but at the same time, she also had a heroic bearing.
"Governor Hu 'er has issued an order for us to lead an army of 50,000, including a portion of Jiang Du's troops, to attack the rebel Cao Yun.”
Xin Wenli said with a solemn expression.
Xin Wen'e took the sealed letter and read it carefully. She quickly learned about all aspects of the rebel army in Lujiang County.
"How did this person take down Huainan and Tong 'an in just a few days, and more than half of the Huai River in less than a month?”
Xin Wen'e was both shocked and curious.
"That's why I said that this person is definitely not simple. Otherwise, why would Governor Lai let us lead 50,000 elite troops?”
Xin Wenli narrowed his eyes slightly. There was a fire burning in his eyes.
Xin Wenger and Xin Wenli wanted to see what the person who had occupied almost half of Huainan in just a month looked like.？？
"Reorganize the army and prepare to set off. Today is the march.”
Taking a deep breath, Xin Wenli directly issued the military order.
"Yes, sir!"
Xin Wen'e's pretty face suddenly became serious, and she cupped her hands in response.
After receiving the military order, she quickly left. After leaving the meeting hall, she began to gather the 20,000 elite troops of Pill Sun County.
He estimated that when the sky gradually darkened, it would be the time when Xin Wenli and his sister would set off.
The two siblings set off from Danyang County. When they joined the 30,000 elite Sui Army to form a 50,000 strong army, it would be time to officially send troops to attack Cao Yun.
Xin Wenli narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the setting sun. He was very curious about how the rebel army of Liyang County would deal with his 50,000 elite Sui troops.
Xin Wen'e rode on her warhorse, her almond-shaped eyes flickering with a strange light. She was more curious than anything else. After all, no one had ever done what Cao Yun had done.
Besides, she had never heard of any rebel army that could be treated like this by the commander-in-chief. All of this increased her curiosity about Cao Yun.
"What kind of person is the rebel general?”
Xin Wen'e could not help but mutter to herself.
This battle that would determine the fate of the Jiangdong Army and even the entire Huai River was about to begin.
If Cao Yun lost, the Jiangdong Army would have to start all over again and lose everything.
If Cao Yunying won, he would be able to take down Pill Sun County and weaken Jiang Du's defensive strength. This would lay a solid foundation for taking down Jiang Du in the future.
After all, Jiang Du was Yang Guang's base camp before he became the emperor. Now, it was an important location for him to go south. It was not too much to say that it was the capital of the south.
Otherwise, Princess Ruyi would not have stayed in Jiang Du to wait for her father.
