Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

Xiao Yu didn't expect that Wang Qi could be settled with movable type printing, and the scholar still had to use the book to convince him.

Wang Qi made another request: "I want to write a letter and return to Jianye. Your Majesty's merchant ships often come and go to Jianye. Can you bring your family members to Guangzhou?"

Xiao Yu said, "I'll figure out a way to bring people here as much as possible."

This matter has to be found by Min Chong. Min Chong has a wide network of contacts in the North, and there are many ways to do it.

Min Chong happened to come to Xiao Yu to report the good news, saying that more than 100 horses had been bought from Dong Rong.

It was not easy for this horse to come. It took three or four months on the road before finally arriving in Guangzhou.

The person in charge of sending the horses broke through the joints all the way, and it took a lot of effort. There were 150 horses when they set off, but only [-] horses were left when they were delivered. Some died, some ran away, and some were detained. up.

Xiao Yu felt that it was already a miracle to be able to drive the horses from Yandi to Guangzhou, and there were still a hundred horses left, which was already a big profit.

Xiao Yu said, "How is the condition of these horses? Can you send a batch to the soldiers ahead?"

Min Chong said: "I haven't asked in detail yet, I will ask later, and if it is feasible, I will send a batch there."

In the era of leading weapons, the advantage of cavalry is too obvious.Although the advantage of cavalry in areas like Canton is not easy to bring into play, transportation, letter delivery, and surprise attacks are still essential.

"By the way, there is one thing I need you to do." Xiao Yu told Wang Qi's request to pick up his family.

Min Chong frowned: "I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with, the members of the Wang family may have been monitored long ago."

Xiao Yu said: "If it's not easy, I have to try. I have already promised Wang Qi."

"Then I'll try it." Min Chong said, "Can the people trained by Lai Feng work?"

"Go and ask him." Xiao Yu said.

At Pei Linzhi's request, Lai Feng is training a group of elites according to the method of training hidden guards to serve as Xiao Yu's guards, and he can also do some difficult things.

"Okay, I'll ask." Min Chong said and left.

Min Chong selected fifty fat and strong horses from the one hundred horses sent to the front line of Jiaozhou.

Pei Linzhi's battle report was sent out every few days at the beginning, and several counties and counties were removed on the way, and the Jiaozhou army was disarmed to prevent them from besieging Zhu Ping from behind.

Ten days later, Guan Shan and Li Xian set off from the sea and arrived in Songping in three days. The gate of Songping City was closed and they refused to fight.

Xiao Yu kept receiving battle reports from the front line. Judging from the previous battles, the resistance he encountered was not that great. Except for Xu Wen's troop strength exceeding [-], the troop strength in other places was not many, only a few hundred.

According to Pei Linzhi's analysis in the letter, there should be more riots among the border residents in the Nanyue area south of Songping, and the troops are mainly stationed in these areas.

The march was so smooth, but Xiao Yu was a little uneasy.Jiaozhou is not the same as Guangzhou. Jiaozhou has frequent wars all year round. The governor of Jiaozhou, Shan Heng, has rich experience in combat. It is absolutely impossible to admit defeat so easily.

Xiao Yu took all the battle reports sent back by Pei Linzhi, analyzed them carefully, and found that the defenses in various counties and counties were very empty, and the strength of each garrison was around 300, at most no more than [-], which was extremely small. too normal.

Xiao Yu quickly called Min Chong and Xiao Yao to discuss the military situation.

After listening to Xiao Yu's analysis, Xiao Yao asked, "Is it possible that the Jiaozhou army took advantage of the familiar terrain to avoid General Pei's troops, and then cut off the supply line of grain and grass from behind?"

Min Chong said: "There is no need to worry about this. General Pei has expected it a long time ago, so our later supplies will not come by land, but by sea. Jishan is responsible for the escort of food and grass, and is already on the way."

Xiao Yu expressed his worries: "I am now worried that there are two possibilities: after the defeat of Yazhou, the governor of Jiaozhou had expected this battle long ago, so he had already made preparations for it. Songping City may now They are all empty, and Jiaozhou soldiers are scattered outside Songping City, and Rinzhi has a bad battle to fight; there is a worse situation, that is, Jiaozhou soldiers are already on their way to Panyu."

As soon as he finished speaking, both Min Chong and Xiao Yao were taken aback: "You mean, we go to attack their base camp, and they come to sneak attack our base camp?"

"It's not impossible." Xiao Yu said, "Ever since the Jiaozhou army was annihilated in Yazhou, there has been no movement in Jiaozhou, and Shanheng has never responded to my call for security. Maybe it has been planning for a long time."

Xiao Yao said: "But even if Jiaozhou soldiers come here, it is impossible to take down Panyu City in a short while."

"What if Xiao Yi also sent people to come? You don't need a navy to suppress the rebel army." The more Xiao Yu thought about it, the more frightened he became. If Xiao Yi and Shan Heng really planned this way, there are only a few thousand guards in Panyu now, and he will undoubtedly die.

Min Chong and Xiao Yao looked at each other and said, "We must send a letter to Guan Shan quickly, asking him to find out what is true in Songping City."

Xiao Yao said: "If the Jiaozhou army has already set off, it will be too late for Pei Linzhi to go back now."

Xiao Yu said: "My Royal Brother, hurry up and order people to check the people entering and leaving Panyu City as soon as possible, especially the people entering the city. A curfew will be enforced in the city at night and the guards will be strengthened. Teng Yun, hurry up and send someone to send a letter to Guan Shan to let them investigate. Mingjiaozhou is false and true. At the same time, additional scouts will be sent to investigate in Guangzhou, along the river and offshore waters to see if there are any suspicious troops and ships."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Both Xiao Yao and Min Chong quickly took orders to go to work.

Xiao Yu was a little hesitant about what to tell Pei Linzhi, all of this was just his own speculation.He withdrew directly before he and the Jiaozhou army had a formal fight. If he hadn't guessed this way, it would have dealt a considerable blow to morale.

But if this is what I guessed, how long can Panyu City last?Can it last until they come back?

If it is by sea, it will take four days at the fastest to return to Guangzhou from Songping. If it is by land, it will take half a month at the earliest to return from Songping.

Xiao Yu picked up the pen and wanted to write a letter to Pei Linzhi, but he was afraid that his confidence would be shaken.In the end, he still didn't say it clearly, but just reminded him euphemistically that Shanheng was careful and thoughtful, and he might have a backup, so he must be more careful.

Xiao Yu didn't do anything, except increase scouts, strengthen defense and check.He also ordered people to bring back a lot of grain from the granary in the north of the city, not afraid of [-], just in case.

Yu'er and Xiaochun took Aping to play on the swing in the yard. The children's laughter was clear and pure, so innocent, and the years seemed really peaceful.Xiao Yu thought to himself, if only this peaceful life could never be broken.

A few days later, in the middle of the night, Xiao Yu was suddenly awakened by a nightmare. He sat up in a jerk, and wiped his neck with sweat.

He touched A Ping next to him. The little guy was also sweating profusely. The weather was abnormally hot and the air was extremely dull. This was a sign of a hurricane.

Xiao Yu was blowing the wind with a fan when he suddenly heard the sound of the courtyard door opening. Someone spoke in a low voice, followed by hurried footsteps. Min Chong came to visit late at night: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wake up quickly. The sailors of Anguo arrive."

"Come in." Xiao Yu sat up, but his heart was surprisingly calm, as if the boot had finally fallen off, he guessed right, Xiao Yi would not let them grow up, he was always looking for opportunities to kill them.

Min Chong pushed the door open and came in. Looking at the lantern in Xiangyang's hand, he saw Xiao Yu's calm face clearly, and felt extremely uneasy in his heart: "Your Majesty really knows everything well. This hateful Xiao Yi happened to take advantage of General Pei's departure. Attack."

Xiao Yu said: "I'm afraid he came here on purpose while he was away. How many of Xiao Yi's navy have come?"

Min Chong said: "According to scouts, there are about 3 ships. I guess there are at least [-] to [-] people."

Xiao Yu felt a chill in his heart, the Anguo navy only had [-] troops in total, and most of them had already been dispatched this time.With so many people, even if Pei Linzhi didn't take the Guangzhou Army away, it would be a war with little chance of winning.

It seems that Xiao Yi is really going to kill himself.

"When will the enemy navy arrive?" Xiao Yu asked.

Min Chong said: "We will arrive tomorrow evening at the latest. Should we go out of the city to fight, or stay in the city?"

Xiao Yu said: "Stay firm. Immediately arrange for people to bring grain back from the granary in the north of the city. Don't leave the grain to the enemy. Send a letter to Pei Linzhi and Yazhou to explain the situation on our side. Send someone to check whether the Jiaozhou army is also coming."

Min Chong said, "Okay."

Both Lai Feng and Xiang Yang came over: "Your Majesty, do we need to evacuate Panyu first? We can fight again after General Pei returns?"

Xiao Yu's eyes were determined: "I can't retreat, where can the thousands of soldiers in the city go? If we retreat, what will the people in the city think of us?" When encountering danger, he wants to run for his life. I am afraid that such an emperor is not what the people want to see. .

Before dawn, the officers and soldiers guarding the city began to carry grain into the city from the granary in the north of the city. The granary in the city was full, and there was no place to put the grain, so they put it in the homes of the people.

When the people heard that they could carry grain home, they were very excited and took the initiative to carry the grain.

At this time, Xiao Yu couldn't take care of so much anymore. If the city was really besieged, the people would also need food.

Before noon, there was a strong wind, which seemed to turn the world upside down. Along with the downpour, the hurricane landed.

Xiao Yu ordered all the city gates to be closed, and the people gradually came to their senses, why did the government move all the food into the city?Is it because of the hurricane?But why move food when the hurricane comes?

Xiao Yu sat on the ground, looking at the big tree whose trunk was broken by the strong wind in the yard. From time to time, the strong wind would bring raindrops to float over and pat him.

Ji Hai knelt aside quietly: "Your Majesty, let me go and close the door. The rain is coming in." The hall was already half wet by the rain.

Xiao Yu waved his hand: "Don't turn it off, I like this rain. I hope it will come more violently, don't stop, it will rain for two more days."

Not surprisingly, Xiao Yi's navy should have not entered Zhuhaikou at this time, and caught up with the hurricane at sea. The stronger the wind, the more serious the damage to the navy will be.

Min Chong hurried in from the outside, drenched all over, the oil-paper umbrella in his hand had been blown over, several umbrella ribs were broken, and he was in a terrible mess.But he didn't care, and laughed loudly: "Your Majesty, God is helping us! We haven't seen the ships of the An Guo Navy on the river so far, and they must have been trapped by the hurricane. Let the storm be more violent!"

Xiao Yu said: "Teng Yun is completely soaked, let's change clothes first."

Min Chong said: "No need to change, I have to go out in a while, such a strong wind and rain, no rain gear can stop it."

Xiao Yu said: "Then be careful not to catch the cold. The wind and rain are too strong, and it's not safe outside. Let the scouts withdraw first."

Min Chong said: "I can't withdraw. The more important the news is at this time, it concerns the safety of the whole city." Especially Xiao Yu's safety.

"Then take the land route, the water route is too unsafe." Xiao Yu said.

"I understand that, walking by water at this time is not asking for death." Min Chong said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is the Son of Destiny, and we will be able to save the day this time."

Xiao Yu smiled wryly: "I accept your good words!"
