Beibei roams the magical starry world

Chapter 411 Countermeasures

Tiger General Zhang Meng is also a member of the Starry Sky Pirates, and he escaped to the Tianshun Continent with his warship. After entering the Tianshun Continent, Zhang Meng, under the arrangement of Captain Xingchen, followed Xingguang and mixed into the high-level officials of the Shenzhu Kingdom.

After learning that Xingguang was killed by Princess Isa, Zhang Meng was very upset and even wanted to escape from the Shenzhu Kingdom.

However, after learning that Princess Isa had fled the capital and was wanted, his uneasy mood calmed down.

Afterwards, Zhang Meng immediately informed Captain Xingchen of the news that Xingguang was killed. A few days later, Zhang Meng received a message from Xingchen, asking him to seize the military power of the Shenzhu Kingdom and take control of the Shenzhu Kingdom in one fell swoop.

At this time, Zhang Meng discovered that his chance to take control of the military power of the Shenzhu Kingdom had come, so he jumped out and actively advocated severe punishment for Princess Isa.

When Prime Minister Sun Guolao saw that no one in the court was speaking, he sighed and said, "General Zhang, do you have any suggestions?"

"I implore you to lead an army to capture the rebels alive and suppress the rebels, so as to deter those who have improper ideas." Zhang Meng said righteously.

"How many people are you going to take with you to suppress the rebels?" asked Prime Minister Sun Guolao.

"There are more than 200,000 rebels. I want to take 300,000 to quell the rebellion." Zhang Meng said after a little thought.

"But we don't have that many troops right now!" said Prime Minister Sun Guolao

"The king's personal guards still have 50,000 men, the royal guards have 150,000 men, and the royal city garrison has 200,000 men. My idea is to lead 50,000 personal guards, 100,000 royal guards, and 150,000 royal city garrison, a total of 300,000 men to quell the rebels.

At the same time, please ask the Prime Minister to issue a royal order, requiring troops from all over the country to gather in the capital to protect the capital and quell the rebels. "Zhang Meng spoke out his thoughts in one breath.

"I object." At this time, a civil servant stood up and said loudly: "This time, the army led by Princess Isa is fighting against treacherous officials. It cannot be considered treason. I suggest that the Prime Minister send an envoy to appease Princess Isa and avoid fighting."

"I second the motion!"

"I second the motion!"

"Seconded!"

At this time, three officials among the civil servants stood up and agreed with the Prime Minister to send an envoy to negotiate with Princess Isa.

"Hmph! So pedantic." Zhang Meng was about to take control of an army of 300,000 men, but now his plan was ruined by these few people. He felt somewhat dissatisfied.

"Master Prime Minister, I suggest that General Zhang lead an army of 300,000 to set up defenses around the capital, and at the same time send an envoy to meet with Princess Isa for negotiations." A military officer stood up and said

Prime Minister Sun Guolao nodded, then looked at the other officials and found that they were all silent with their heads down.

So he said: "General Zhang led 50,000 of the king's personal guards to arrange defenses around the capital, and Lord Wang and Lord Li from the Ministry of the Secretariat will represent the court to appease Princess Yisha."

"Yes." Zhang Meng, Lord Wang and Lord Li said yes at the same time and accepted their respective work arrangements.

"My fellow ministers, please continue to do your respective work after the court is adjourned and do not lose your composure," Prime Minister Sun Guolao continued.

"Yes..." All the officials in the court agreed in unison.

The next day, Lord Wang and Lord Li from the Secretariat left the capital and rushed to the prairie where Princess Isa's cavalry was.

Zhang Meng led 50,000 of the king's personal guards and began to busy himself with the defense outside the capital. Zhang Meng looked at the 50,000 soldiers around him, and complained in his heart that Sun Guolao only gave him so few troops.

At the same time, Princess Isa led an army of 250,000 to the county town where the county magistrate Wang Jin was located.

At this moment, the county gate was wide open, and the county magistrate Wang Jin, his legal advisor, a group of yamen runners and common people were standing outside the gate.

When everyone saw Princess Isa's army arriving, they bowed and saluted, and the people also beat drums and lit firecrackers.

Seeing this, Princess Isa quickly dismounted and, accompanied by a group of generals, came to the county magistrate Wang Jin. She helped Wang Jin up with both hands and said gently, "Master Wang, we meet again."

County Master Wang Jin seemed to have known that the person entertained in the county government the previous time was Princess Isa, and he said calmly: "Your Highness Princess, you have eradicated the treacherous people for the people of Shenzhu Kingdom. We are willing to follow Your Highness Princess and do our part for Shenzhu Kingdom."

Princess Isa felt warm inside, and she grabbed Wang Jin's left hand and said, "Let's go into the city together."

Surrounded by the crowd, Princess Isa and the county magistrate Wang Jin entered the county town side by side. Wang Jin took Princess Isa to a huge warehouse on the side of the county government office, opened the door of the warehouse, and saw a large warehouse full of neatly packed grain bags.

County Magistrate Wang Jin said, "Your Highness, this is the food that the people of the county have provided for the army, a total of 200,000 dan."

Bei Bei looked at the piles of grain and heard the county magistrate Wang Jin say that there were 200,000 dan of grain. He muttered in his heart, "200,000 dan of grain is almost 12 million kilograms. If 200,000 soldiers consume half a kilogram every day, they can eat for 120 days! Wang Jin is really generous."

Princess Isa and the generals were also very happy to see so much food, and they all bowed to the county magistrate Wang Jin to express their gratitude.

County Magistrate Wang Jin waved his hands and said, "This is the intention of the people of the county. It is the wish of the people of my county to do something practical for the people of Shenzhu Country."

Afterwards, everyone entered the lobby of the county government office and took their seats. Princess Isa naturally sat at the first seat. County magistrate Wang Jin sat below Princess Isa at everyone's repeated invitation, and the other generals took their seats in turn.

Princess Isa looked at the county magistrate Wang Jin and many county officials and told them how she entered the palace and killed the two thieves.

After hearing this, everyone was filled with righteous indignation and expressed their willingness to contribute money and manpower to help Princess Isa fight against the treacherous ministers.

At this time, Princess Isa looked at the county magistrate Wang Jin and said, "I wonder if your Excellency has any advice for me?"

County Magistrate Wang Jin was stunned by Princess Isa's sudden question, but he quickly reacted and waved his hands and said, "I am not well-educated and have little talent. I can't give you a good advice."

"Your Majesty is deeply loved by the people, and the people in the county under your jurisdiction live and work in peace and contentment. I would like to invite Your Majesty to help the people of Shenzhu Country. Please do not refuse." Princess Isa extended an invitation to Wang Jin.

Wang Jin thought it would be a bit inappropriate to refuse again. So he bowed and said, "I am willing to do my best for the people of Shenzhu Country."

After a moment of silence, Wang Jin said, "I have three plans, good, medium and bad. Please make your decision, Princess."

County Magistrate Wang Jin spread out a map and pointed at it, saying, "Your Highness, Generals, from here to the capital, we have to pass through three large cities, five medium cities, and twelve small cities. If we encounter some city defenders who put up a stubborn resistance, it will be disadvantageous to Your Highness's advance. At the same time, if foreign countries learn of the civil war in Shenzhu, they will take the opportunity to invade our country, which will be even more disadvantageous."

"So, my best strategy is to send out a surprise force to bypass these cities and go straight to the capital. Along the way, we can cut off the capital's food supply, thereby disrupting their morale and ultimately defeating the capital's guards in one fell swoop."

County Magistrate Wang Jin pointed to a red line in a mountain range and said, "This mountain range is a branch of Wushan Mountain. There is a mountain road in the mountain range. You can go directly to the capital through the mountain road. There are no guards along the way. However, the mountain road is narrow in three places. The army needs to be especially careful when passing through."

"How many men do you think would be a suitable number for this special force?" Princess Isa asked.

"I know that Her Royal Highness has General Gongsun's 50,000 Royal Guards under her command. I suggest sending this army to raid the capital." County Magistrate Wang Jin said

Princess Isa and the generals stared at the red line on the map and nodded. Princess Isa suddenly asked, "How come such an important mountain road has no defenses?"

"Your Highness, you may not know that this mountain road was discovered by a hunter accidentally while hunting. Later, I sent people to explore it many times before I found that it could lead directly to the capital. I originally wanted to report to the king after I drew the map, but after the chaos in Shenzhu Kingdom, I dared not easily disclose this secret passage." County magistrate Wang Jin explained.

Princess Isa nodded and looked at Gongsun Sheng, who was staring at the map. After a long while, he suddenly realized that Princess Isa was looking at him, so he clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to lead 50,000 of the king's personal guards to attack the capital."
