Chapter 254: Borrowing the Qin Family’s Hand
"Isn't the Qin family a prominent family of the Chen State? Why are they being persecuted when they have made such outstanding contributions?"
Chen Xiu's understanding of the Qin family of Chen State was still more than ten years ago. He had previously only investigated the military power of the Chen State court, but ignored the civilian and underworld forces.
But today, the Qin family of the Chen State has long lost its former glory.
Jiang Zuo said: "It is precisely because the Qin family is so powerful that the emperor of Chen State is suspicious of them. Therefore, he began to persecute the Qin family and completely eradicate this hidden danger. No matter how many great contributions the Qin family has made to Chen State, they cannot escape this reckoning... The emperor is like this, he is suspicious all day long and is suspicious by nature."
Chen Xiu frowned and turned his head to look at Jiang Zuo, feeling that there was something else behind his words.
Jiang Zuo quickly explained: "I'm talking about the Emperor of Chen, don't get me wrong."
Chen Xiu thought for a moment and then asked, "How many soldiers and horses do the Qin family have left now?"
Jiang Zuo counted on his fingers and said, "Seven, or eight."
Chen Xiu asked in confusion: "Seven or eight thousand, or seven or eight thousand?"
Jiang Zuo said: "There are seven or eight people."
"What?" Chen Xiu was confused and asked, "You are counting on seven or eight people to pose a threat to the State of Chen?"
Jiang Zuo said: "As long as there are still people in the Qin family alive, we can use their prestige to start an uprising. Moreover, there are constant rebellions of all sizes in the Chen Kingdom. If we can use the prestige of the Qin family to integrate the forces of these rebels, it will definitely cause great trouble to the Chen Kingdom."
Chen Xiu also fell into deep thought, and after a moment he said, "You can give it a try."
After all, the battlefield is not in Yan State, so you might as well give it a try, maybe it will really work.
Jiang Zuo added: "As for the Huainan Army, we will deploy them according to your plan, Master Jiu. I also have another army, and I can dispatch 3,000 soldiers."
Chen Xiu asked doubtfully: "You also have troops at your disposal?"
"Yes, Daizhou Anding Army, I wonder if Master Jiu has heard about it?"
Jiang Zuo said.
The Anding Army, which he personally established, had made great military achievements.
Because Jiangzuo never reported its military achievements to the court, few people inside and outside the court knew the name of the Anding Army.
"Local soldiers?"
Chen Xiu thought about it carefully and seemed to have some impression.
Previously in Daizhou, I had heard about the battle achievements of the Anding Army and the Six Towns Army.
However, Chen Xiu had some doubts, as only three thousand soldiers did not seem to have much impact on the battle situation.
But as long as Jiang Zuo is willing to serve the emperor, Chen Xiu will not worry too much.
"If you want to draw local soldiers, why not send them nearby, instead of sending them from Daizhou anding, which is so far away?"
Chen Xiu had many doubts about this.
Jiang Zuo said: "The Anding Army are all my trusted ones, so coordination and cooperation will be better."
"Were you the magistrate of Anding County?"
Chen Xiu asked.
Jiang Zuo nodded: "That's right."
"The emperor has been in Anding County before, and you should have met him."
"What did you say?"
Jiang Zuo frowned.
Chen Xiu said, "I said that the emperor had been staying in Anding County before. Could it be that you have never seen the emperor?"
"broken."
Jiang Zuo was startled and remembered something.
No wonder his every move before was known to the empress.
It turned out that the female emperor herself was in Anding County.
"Why didn't she summon me then?"
Jiang Zuo was extremely confused.
Thinking that everything he did in Anding County was seen by the empress, he felt uneasy.
"Maybe that woman was also secretly observing my tryst with Siyue. What an old pervert..." He muttered to himself again.
After calming down for a while, Jiang Zuo said, "The Emperor has never summoned me."
Chen Xiu also seemed a little puzzled and said, "Really? That might be because the Emperor is busy."
"I hope so."
Jiang Zuo tried to recall whether he had met any strange women in Anding County before.
I can’t think of it…
As the two were chatting, someone suddenly walked over. When they looked up, it was Master Guo.
"Master Jiang, Qin Sheng has been looking for you today. He said he wants to see you. Now he is ready to come over."
Master Guo said.
"Let him in."
Jiangzuo Road.
"Oh, Master Guo, there is one more thing." He stopped Master Guo and ordered, "Pass on my order, and the Anding Army Yizi Camp will move south immediately."
The Yi Camp is composed of 3,000 elite soldiers of the Anding Army. If they want to completely defeat the State of Chen, they still need to rely on this new army in Jiang Zuo's hands that has absolute firepower.
The new weapons in their hands will have absolute suppressive power against the Chen people.
Master Guo leaned forward and said, "I understand."
Jiang Zuo turned around and said to Chen Xiu: "The man coming over later is the head of the Qin family of Chen State."
Chen Xiu was also quite curious.
A moment later, Qin Sheng came over and met Jiang Zuo.
"Sir, who is this?"
Seeing that there were other people around Jiang Zuo, Qin Sheng suddenly became a little more alert.
Jiang Zuo said: "This is Master Jiu, we are one of us, you can just tell me what you want to say."
Qin Sheng was relieved and said, "We have contacted the separated Qin brothers. There are 800 soldiers and horses, and they have returned to Qishan. I plan to set off tomorrow and return to Qishan."
Jiang Zuo also looked happy, at least now the matter has made good progress.
As long as Qin Sheng can lead a team of 800 people and start to expand his strength again, Jiang Zuo will give them the greatest help.
"Then you must be careful and conserve your strength. Don't forget the sixteen-character formula I reminded you of earlier."
Jiang Zuo instructed.
Qin Sheng said: "I haven't forgotten, if the enemy advances, I retreat; if the enemy stays, I harass..."
"That's right, that's right."
Jiang Zuo nodded repeatedly.
"I may not have time to say goodbye to Brother Jiang Zuo tomorrow, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of Qin Yu. Thank you very much."
Qin Sheng said with some gratitude.
It would be very dangerous to go back to Chen State this time. Since Qin Yu intends to stay in Yan State, he will not force his third sister to follow him.
Perhaps staying in Yan State is the safest place.
"Brother Jiang Zuo, goodbye."
Qin Sheng bowed and said.
Jiang Zuo patted his shoulder and said, "You should take good care of yourself as well. Once your base is established, be sure to come to Jiangzhou to inform me. We will also deliver the supplies you need as soon as possible."
Given the Qin family's current situation, it would be difficult for them to get back on their feet without external funding.
"Thanks."
Qin Sheng thanked him again, and just as he turned around, he stopped and said, "I have learned a lot from your book. Thank you for your guidance."
Jiang Zuo said: "This is not my advice. This book is a priceless treasure. You must keep it well."
"must."
Qin Sheng bowed and then left the mansion.
The future of returning to Chen State is unknown, and I don’t know whether I will have the chance to meet Jiang Zuo again in the future.
"What book are you talking about?"
Chen Xiu became very curious.
"Nothing." Jiang Zuo smiled and looked up at the sky. "It's getting late. Why don't we go eat something and talk later."
"I won't go to Xinghualou this time..."
Chen Xiu said.
