Chapter 253 Letter
After asking Wang Dahu, Yu Liang and others for various information about these thousand people, Su Qingqing learned that most of them had no concerns at home. Finally, she made the decision to keep these thousand people.
People stayed but could not enter the city.
Fortunately, when we were suppressing the bandits before, we had confiscated a lot of tents from the bandits, and now these tents could be sent to them.
In order to facilitate training, Su Qingqing brought people directly to the place where the bandits were stationed before, and ordered them to stay there and train every day.
She reports to work every day and supervises the work personally.
They were all people who were willing to stay and join the army, and with Su Qingqing's personal guidance and instruction, these people had a very positive mentality, and the training went particularly smoothly.
Since they were willing to cooperate and there was still time, Su Qingqing would train them according to the method of training elite soldiers.
At that time, the few archers and crossbowmen selected by Zhao Ji from the common people also joined these people. They moved out of the city and lived in the tents with the large army.
This made the soldiers feel more at ease.
After about ten days, everything was back on track.
After such a tough battle, no one in the entire Datong County had any different opinions about Su Qingqing and Rong Que's staying overnight.
People who make a living by their own abilities will always be welcomed wherever they go.
Naturally, the movements on their side alarmed the nearby counties early on, but due to Rong Que's identity, these counties remained silent and had no contact with Datong.
However, Zhao Ji sent people to the nearby county to purchase food and medicine, and the other party did not refuse to communicate.
Such a vague attitude can be considered an attitude.
If we advance, we can maintain friendship with Datong County; if we retreat, we can maintain consistency with the imperial court.
This seemingly harmonious appearance was completely broken a month later.
Another army of Marquis Rong'an did not attack Kyoto, but withdrew to Qibei, where Marquis Rong'an was declared king.
As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar in the government and the public.
Marquis Rong'an openly rebelled.
When the news reached Datong, Su Qingqing was in the yard teaching Jixiang archery.
When Rong Que came back from outside, Jixiang immediately retreated with a look, "I will go around the military camp."
As soon as she left, Rong Que couldn't help but walked up to Su Qingqing and picked her up sideways. Without even entering the house, he bit her face impatiently, causing Su Qingqing to raise her hand and hit him.
Rong Que didn't feel any pain at all. He put her on the bed and kissed her inside and out. He let her go when Su Qingqing was out of breath. Then he dropped a bombshell, "I just received news that Rong An Hou rebelled and openly proclaimed himself king in Qibei."
Su Qingqing was so dizzy from his kiss that she finally regained consciousness after a while and lay on the bed, "That's terrible. Fortunately, we purchased a large amount of medicinal herbs and food before, otherwise, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to afford them!"
Those who occupied the Tantang Writing Shop had originally intended to come to the Dayan Dynasty to work for Marquis Rong'an, so they transferred a lot of property from the Zhao State.
They saved a large sum of money.
In addition, they confessed to several other private shops of Marquis Rong'an. After the war, Su Qingqing immediately took Jixiang to rob them and made back a lot of money.
Su Qingqing gave all the money to Zhao Ji for large-scale purchases.
With the existence of figures like King Yu and Marquis Rong'an, it is only a matter of time before the world falls into chaos.
But I didn't expect that Marquis Rong'an would rebel so quickly.
Rong Que stroked Su Qingqing's cheek and kissed her eyelids, nose, and lips several times, "We guessed at the time that when we wiped out the 20,000 troops, Rong'an Hou should have been watching nearby.
Without these 20,000 troops, he couldn't fight Kyoto directly, but he had already fled Kyoto and couldn't go back, so it was reasonable for him to rebel."
Su Qingqing asked, "How long will it take for our troops to return?"
A few days ago, Rong Que received news from Ming Lu that the large army was finally about to arrive in Datong.
"About two or three days."
Rong Que had a total of 10,000 troops under his command. When these 10,000 troops arrived in Datong, the expenses for food and drink were not small.
How to support the army?
Marquis Rong'an will openly rebel and will certainly purchase in large quantities, and the prices in the nearby counties will definitely rise.
"It is impossible to support them. Right now, the only way is to let Marquis Rong'an lead his troops to besiege Kyoto. Kyoto has no troops to use and will definitely ask us for help when it is difficult to resist. At that time, Your Highness will not only be able to return to the capital with a legitimate reason, but also directly occupy the granary of the Xishan Camp."
There was a melee in Kyoto at that time, and the Nishiyama camp suffered heavy losses.
Almost all the people have died, but the military supplies are still there.
It's a big piece of fat meat, and many people are eyeing it.
Rong Que just felt that he could never kiss the person in his arms enough, "What's your trick?"
Su Qingqing felt tickled by his kiss on the neck and pushed him away with a smile.
"We have one more person available."
Su Qingqing pushed Rong Que away and took out a letter from under the pillow.
Rong Que was stunned for a moment and took it, "Who wrote it?"
"Qin Wanru, it was delivered early this morning. At that time, you happened to be following Zhao Ji and the others to the neighboring Qingshui County."
An ancient name.
Rong Que's hand holding the envelope paused for a moment before he realized who Qin Wanru was.
It hasn't been long since I left Beijing, but I feel like a lot has changed.
Rong Que opened the letter and looked at it. Qin Wanru was still the same Qin Wanru as before. She was as efficient and concise in writing letters as she was in doing things.
She only told Su Qingqing that if she needed military supplies from the Xishan camp, she would find a way to send them to Datong for her. There was no other nonsense.
Rong Que looked puzzled, "Qin Wanru is still in Kyoto? How can she be so sure about the military supplies of Xishan Camp? With the new emperor ascending the throne and the Queen Mother in charge of government affairs, the Queen Mother will definitely have the military supplies of Xishan Camp in her hands."
At that time, Qin Wanru faked her death. After Su Qingqing rescued her, she left with her personal maid.
As for where to go, Su Qingqing didn't ask, and she didn't say either.
The two never had any contact afterwards.
Who would have thought that when we contacted each other again, this would be the situation.
"When you stole the medicine from Kyoto and were ambushed on the way, she must have saved you. She has never left Kyoto since then."
After a pause, Su Qingqing turned over.
The two of them stayed together for a long time, their bodies were all wet with sweat, and Su Qingqing went downstairs to pour a cup of tea.
"Since she is so sure about the military supplies of the Xishan Camp, she can be used as a good bait to lure Rong'an Hou. As long as Rong'an Hou is willing to send troops to Kyoto, we will have an absolute advantage."
"Do you have any ideas?"
Su Qingqing smiled and handed a cup of tea to Rong Que, "What is the thing that Rong An Hou regards as his lifeblood?"
Rong Que didn't take the cup of tea. Su Qingqing took a sip herself and leaned over to Rong Que to pass the tea into his mouth.
"The Young Master of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion, as long as we can get this Young Master, everything will be easy."
After taking a sip of the sweet tea, Rong Que seemed to have his Ren and Du meridians opened up. He lifted the man up and held him in his arms. "It just so happens that we have Xiao Yu in our hands."
The illegitimate son of the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion.
It couldn't be more appropriate to use a concubine's son to attract a legitimate son.
