Chapter 44 Attack on Guangzhou

This time Wu Weiyang did not stay in Qinzhou, including Zhuang Chu, he also went on the road together, and the mighty team of 8000 marched towards Guangzhou without any concealment.

This news soon reached the ears of Zhou Guangcheng, the defender of Guangzhou. Now the world is not stable, so Zhou Guangcheng naturally knew that it was not that Zhou Guangcheng didn't take it seriously, but He has guarded Guangzhou for so many years, and he already had a sense of weakness and luck in his heart, thinking that Guangzhou is a place where troops are stationed after all, and the bandits should not dare to move for a while. It didn't take long for Ya Erzhou to come towards him aggressively.

The governor of Guangzhou is a cowardly and cowardly person. As early as the beginning of confusion, he came to find Zhou Guangcheng in a hurry, but Zhou Guangcheng's good words of comfort did not reassure him, so he simply handed over all the power to Zhou Guangcheng. He went back and hid under the pretense of knowing the state.

Zhou Guangcheng walked back and forth in his own study several times, gritted his teeth, called his adjutant, and said: "Order the whole army to step up inspections from tomorrow onwards, let the scouts make two more trips, and be sure to Send their news to my case as soon as possible." After thinking for a moment, he added: "Also, there will be more troops at Huangmu Bay, and pay more attention to those sailors and tourists."

The adjutant was a bit embarrassed when he heard the words, and said: "There are so many boats entering and leaving Huangmu Bay every day, no matter how many people are sent there, it may be difficult to pay attention to everything."

Zhou Guangcheng frowned and said, "Do your best."

The adjutant took the order to retreat, Zhou Guangcheng sat down on the couch, sighed deeply, and suddenly laughed, "I'm really old, I'm so afraid of this... I don't know what kind of a daring bandit leader he is."

At this time, the "bandit leader" was cheekily squeezing into the carriage full of old, weak, sick and disabled. After all, Qin Han, who was driving the carriage, was not skilled enough, so he couldn't stop Wu Weiyang and let him rush in.

As soon as Wu Weiyang got into the carriage, he saw Su Beiqin in the innermost part of the carriage with his eyes closed and recuperating, and he walked over with a smile, forcing Zhuang Chu who was at the side to move to make room for him.

Su Beiqin was not asleep, so he knew clearly about Wu Weiyang's coming in. Before Wu Weiyang put his hand on his forehead, he opened his clear eyes and frowned slightly: "Why did you come in again?" gone?"

Wu Weiyang put down his hands without hesitation, and sat down beside him, "Come to tell everyone some news."

Hearing this, several people sitting in the carriage looked towards Wu Weiyang, Wu Weiyang said: "A scout was caught last night."

Su Beiqin gave an "en" and signaled Wu Weiyang to continue.

"It seems that Zhou Guangping is very afraid of us. Right now, the entire city of Guangzhou is like an iron bucket, not even a drop of water can be poured into it."

Bai Zixia didn't know anything about military affairs, so he was the first to frown and said, "What should I do?"

Zhuang Chu slowly put his dark cup on the small table, "You should have thought about it when you left Qinzhou with great fanfare, don't pretend, brat."

Su Beiqin remained silent, obviously meaning the same thing.

Wu Weiyang shrugged his shoulders and said: "Zhou Guangcheng is a strong general...but before he came to Guangzhou, although I had never worked with him, I had heard a thing or two about his character. He has stayed in Guangzhou for so many years. No matter how much bloodiness there is, it has worn down a lot, and now that the world is in chaos, he must have taken precautions, but it was just a precaution."

Su Beiqin understood what he meant, pondered for a moment and said, "Where's Taiping?"

Wu Weiyang looked at the sky outside the car window and said, "It will probably be later."

Su Beiqin nodded and inquired: "In the current situation, it is okay to travel overnight. There is no need to camp tonight to rest. Let's go outside Guangzhou."

Accelerating the marching speed will definitely increase the pressure on Zhou Guangcheng, which is exactly what everyone wants to achieve step by step, Wu Weiyang naturally agrees, and turns around and goes out.

While Wu Weiyang's army was speeding up, Gao Chengping quietly left with a hundred or so people, all of whom had dark complexion, which was the skin color blown by the unique sea breeze.

Not long after, the news that the rebels were about to approach the city was on Zhou Guangcheng's desk. Compared with this, the arrest of a scout was nothing. Zhou Guangcheng didn't think that his defensive actions could fool the opponent.

He frowned stubbornly, staring at the topographic map around the city of Guangzhou. After a long time, he put down his hand supporting the table and drank a sip of tea tiredly. An extra straw was placed on his back, he was not young anymore, his temples were gray, and he had seen the comfortable life in the city of Guangzhou for so long, but he couldn't make up his mind to lead troops out of the city to meet them.

Because Guangzhou is a commercial port, in order to ensure safety, it has always stationed a lot of soldiers. Now he has nearly [-] soldiers, and there are also some scattered militiamen patrolling the streets and alleys. There is a moat, and the fortifications are well built, so there should be no problem with sticking to it.

Zhou Guangcheng rubbed the center of his brows, sat up straight, took out a piece of paper, wrote a few lines intermittently, folded it, hesitated for a moment, and carefully put it away.

On this side, the rebel army led by Wu Weiyang accelerated their march and arrived in a forest not far from Guangzhou City two days later.After Wu Weiyang ordered the whole army to rest in place, he rode his horse to the carriage where Su Beiqin was, raised the curtain and said, "Will the military commander come down with me for a walk?"

Su Beiqin took a look at him and got out of the car. He hadn't got out of the car for a long time, and his legs were a little weak when he got off the car. Wu Weiyang jumped off the horse, supported him, and sighed: " After a long time, I finally asked me to touch it."

Su Beiqin never paid attention to his nonsense, just glanced around and asked, "Do you want to use this as a place for Master Lin and the others to work?"

Wu Weiyang took him by the arm and led him into the forest, saying: "I really think so. This time, Master Lin and his few craftsmen plus the guys who can help can only touch dozens of people. This forest is not Not too small, more than enough to hide them."

Su Beiqin looked in the direction of Guangzhou City, and said: "It's always impossible to hide it. When the equipment is finished, it must be sent out from the forest to the front line. If Zhou Guangcheng sends someone to attack, no matter whether it is the forest or the equipment transporter. The roads are very dangerous."

Wu Weiyang squinted his eyes and said: "Just in case, I will definitely send someone to protect it, but Guangzhou City is strong after all, and it may be difficult to break through with only a temporary weapon."

Su Beiqin exhaled softly, "The outcome is in Taiping's hands. Speaking of entrusting such an important task to Taiping, you can rest assured."

Wu Weiyang sighed, "According to calculations, it is most suitable for him to sneak into the city, but even if he fails, it doesn't matter."

Su Beiqin raised his eyebrows slightly, his dark eyes moved, and said, "What other tricks do you have?"

Wu Weiyang hugged Su Beiqin lightly as if inadvertently, "Show the name of King Weiwu."

Su Beiqin was taken aback, ignored the claw on his waist, and said in disapproval: "You revealed your identity before you captured Guangzhou City. Whether Zhou Guangcheng believes it or not, you must report it to your superiors. Step by step, we have conquered Guangzhou, and before we have time to rectify it, I am afraid that the imperial army will be ushered in."

Wu Weiyang stared at his slightly raised face towards him, itching in his heart, he almost wanted to kiss him, he pinched Su Beiqin's waist, and said slowly: "I don't say that I am King Weiwu, he might want to kiss him tomorrow. It is reported that there are rebels in the upper echelon, but otherwise it will definitely not, why do you think?"

Su Beiqin's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "What does he have to do with your...father?"

Wu Weiyang finally couldn't bear it anymore, kissed Su Beiqin on the lips, jumped away before Subeiqin changed his face, and said with a smile: "Let's take this as a surprise, and you will naturally understand when the time comes."
