Usurping the Qing Dynasty: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 104 The new army creates miracles! The giants are surprised!

Is Su Ye pretending, or is he really that anxious?

He is really anxious.

Because he only has ten days at most.

If it is according to the historical trajectory, after the Taiping Army broke through the Jiangbei Camp, it adopted a very stupid strategy, just desperately collecting food and grass around Yangzhou, and did not pursue the remnants of the Jiangbei Camp at all.

So although the Jiangbei Camp was broken, the main force is still there.

But the funny thing is that Jiangning General Tuo Ming'a, Shao Zhanshi Weng Tongshu, and Jiangbei Camp Assistant Lei Yizhen shirked responsibility and abused each other, and did not dare to summon troops to attack Yangzhou.

But...it won't be long before Qin Rigang will take the initiative to give up Yangzhou, defend Guazhou, and then continue to cross the south back to Tianjing to participate in the battle against the Jiangnan Camp.

This...is very scary.

This means that if Su Ye does not arrive in time, the great achievement of recovering Yangzhou may fall into the hands of others.

If it falls into the hands of people like Tuomin'a and Dexing'a, it would be better.

But if it falls into the hands of Boyan Nemohu?

The consequences would be disastrous.

So, he had to race against time.

He calculated carefully that he had at most thirteen days left!

Within thirteen days, he had to rush to the battlefield.

Otherwise, this achievement would probably be in vain.

The distance from Yangzhou to the capital was two or three thousand miles. Even if Su Ye's army ran like crazy, it would not be possible to arrive in thirteen days.

Moreover, don't they need supplies?

Is it possible to arrive at the battlefield in thirteen days?

Yes!

Take the canal!

After 1855, the Yellow River changed its course, and a large amount of silt rushed into the middle section of the canal, causing silt to accumulate at the bottom of the river, making it difficult to walk, and it might even be abandoned in the future.

But at least now, the canal can still be used.

And now is the flood season.

The fastest way is to collect large canal ships nearby and take the army directly from the capital to Yangzhou.

A faster way is to directly load the grain that had just been transported to the capital back onto the ship as military rations.

After all, there were only more than a thousand people, so it was relatively simple to deal with.

Now everyone was frightened by the Taiping Army.

It took only four or five days from beginning to end, and the Jiangbei camp collapsed and was completely defeated.

Everyone thought that this time tens of thousands of Taiping troops would sweep across the entire northern Jiangsu, completely destroy the Jiangbei camp, take over the important salt tax area of ​​Lianghuai, and cut off the grain transport.

So under this situation, everyone thought that it would be good to be able to keep northern Jiangsu, and how could they dare to talk about recovering Yangzhou?

Only Su Ye knew history, and he knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

So he had to be fast!

Don't let others realize it.

So, Su Ye really led his army south directly.

Everyone was shocked by his move.

The emperor was stunned, leaving now?

How can you leave without any preparation?

So he quickly sent eunuchs on horseback to chase.

After a long while, the eunuch caught up with Su Ye and said, "Brother Su Ye, there is no rush at this moment. You should go back to Beijing first. You should go home to rest first. The emperor will summon you in the evening to prepare for the relevant food and salary matters."

Su Ye said to Wang Shiqing, "Shiqing, you lead the troops to Tongzhou and prepare to board the ship."

Wang Shiqing said, "I obey your order!"

Time is tight. Su Ye can go back to Beijing, but the army cannot stop and must move forward immediately.

Under the leadership of Wang Shiqing, the 1,500 new troops first went south, then east, towards Tongzhou.

If you want to take the canal, you need to board the ship at Tongzhou Wharf.

Originally, the end point of the canal was the capital, but after the Ming Dynasty, the Tonghui River was no longer navigable, so Tongzhou was basically the end point of the canal.

………………………………………………

Su Ye rode a horse and galloped towards his home in the capital.

So, he even went home earlier than Su He and Su Quan, father and son.

As soon as he fell from his horse, his sister-in-law Bai Feifei came up to him and said, "Xiao Ye, you're back? How was the military parade?"

Su Ye said, "Very good!"

Bai Feifei said, "Big sister is here, she's in your room."

After that, she blushed for no apparent reason.

Uh!

It's terrible. When I heard the word "big sister", I instinctively wanted to rebel.

There's nothing I can do. He's been in the barracks for half a year.

I was starving. I stood up immediately when I saw a pretty girl.

Su Ye rushed into his yard quickly.

Bai Feifei spat secretly, then went forward to help Su Ye close the door.

Inside, Grand Princess Qingqing was sitting there reading a book.

She was wearing a new skirt designed by Su Ye.

It was the kind that completely showed off her figure.

She was already charming and graceful, and now she was sitting on a chair.

What curves are there?

Especially the full moon below her waist fell on the chair, plump and round.

Seeing Su Ye, she was so surprised that she stood up and rushed over.

Su Ye hugged her and said, "Big sister, hurry, hurry, hurry."

Qingqing said, "What are you talking about?"

But she soon found out, because Su Ye had already started to untie his belt... belt.

Qingqing immediately leaned down, lay on the table, pulled up her skirt, and took off the only thing inside.

Eh?

Is this how you cooperate?

Or, are you hungry too?

The pink snow pile, a touch of red, is so beautiful.

Driving forward.

Singing all the way.

……………………………………………………

At the same time, inside the Horqin Palace.

Prince Fujin was furious when he learned about what happened at Nanyuan Campus.

"Shou'an must have run to tell Su Yi, so Su Yi proposed to the emperor in public." Prince Fujin said, "Otherwise, whether I find the concubine or Prince Hui Fujin as a matchmaker, this matter will be settled directly. ”

"Shou'an is protecting Su Yi like this, maybe there is some hidden adultery inside."

Seng Gelinqin said: "Don't talk nonsense like this."

Today's military parade and martial arts ceremony, this prince is also there, and he is still in the most prominent position.

He began to think.

He also brought over maps, Jiangnan Camp, Jiangbei Camp, and Yangzhou defense map.

After reading it, I fell into thinking again.

"Boyan, based on your understanding of Su Yi, is he a very adventurous person?" the monk king asked.

Boyannamohu thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, on the surface he loves to take risks, but in fact he usually does it only when he has something he is quite sure of."

King Monk said: "The emperor asked him to return to Beijing first, but did his army stop?"

Boyannamohu said: "No, he went towards Tongzhou."

The monk king said: "He is very anxious, very anxious. Why?"

Boyannamohu said: "I am in a hurry to go to the battlefield."

The monk king said: "Under normal circumstances, he shouldn't be in such a hurry. He shouldn't fight an unprepared battle. Why is he in such a hurry?"

Boyannamohu said: "Afraid that someone will compete with him for credit and he will miss a good opportunity?"

King Monk said: "No matter what the reason is, since your opponent is in a hurry, you must snipe him. He is in a hurry to rush to the battlefield, then you must not let him rush to the battlefield quickly, and you must rush to the battlefield first. , If there is really a fighter opportunity, it will not be missed."

"Can't wait, can't wait."

The monk king said: "Two things must be done immediately. The first is, Boyan, go to see the emperor immediately and ask for an immediate expedition. Don't worry about anything for now. Just bring the grain, grass and bows and arrows you need for a few days. The remaining grain and grass will be left to you. If the canal catches up with you, you can set off first. You can even ask the canal to follow you southward without disembarking. "

"Go and prepare money. A large amount of money. Distribute money to everyone in your Xiaoqi camp. Let them set off to Tongzhou immediately, including men and horses, and prepare to board the ship."

"I'll go see Shao Can immediately, he happens to be in Beijing!"

Shao Can, governor of water transport and governor of rivers. Seng Gelinqin went to see him, of course, to do two things. One was to seize the ship, and the second was to prevent Su Yi's new army from boarding the ship.

Of course, Su Yi's new army cannot be explicitly prevented from boarding the ship.

All we need to do is find a way to occupy all the water transport ships in the Yamen of the Water Transport Administration.

And with him as a monk king coming forward, the Governor of Water Transport must be very happy to sell him this face.

After saying that, the monk king immediately left the palace and went to find Shao Can, the governor of water transportation.

But Boyan Namohu immediately went to the palace to see the emperor.

The emperor was stunned when he heard Boyan's request.

Is it necessary to be in such a hurry?

Can't wait for tomorrow?

Need to go on an expedition immediately?

Military pay, food, weapons, and arrows all need to be prepared.

"The military situation is like a fire. The sooner we arrive on the battlefield, the sooner we can save the war situation." Boyan said: "More than a thousand people will take the water transport ship to go south. They can raise a few days of food and grass by themselves. The rest can be found in the Jiangbei camp." Solve it locally.”

The emperor said: "It will also take time to transfer the money."

Boyan said: "My family is willing to advance the payment."

Well?

It is usually taboo to say something like this. What do you want to do with your own money?

But now, it doesn't matter.

The emperor knew that his two most valued young generals were in a serious fight.

No one wants to lose.

No one wants to fall behind even a little bit.

But this is what the emperor is happy to see. It is a good thing for him that the people below are fighting.

Competition is good.

Su Yi represents the new army, and Boyan represents the most typical Eight Banners elite.

"Okay, I will give you the relevant decree!"

Next, the emperor immediately wrote a decree and gave it to Boyan.

Then, give him a sword.

"Boyan, I still have to tell you that competition between you and Su Yi is a good thing, but it must not damage the bottom line, let alone hold each other back on the battlefield, or even frame each other."

"What happened in the New Army must never happen again."

Boyanna Mohu took the sword and the imperial edict and said: "I obey the edict!"

The emperor helped him up and said: "Your cavalry battalion has been trained extremely well. I seem to have seen the majesty of the Eight Banners of our ancestors two hundred years ago. I have high hopes for you and hope to receive good news from you in the capital."

Boyannamohu said: "I must do my best and fight to the death so as not to disappoint the emperor."

The emperor stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead. Get what you want on the battlefield."

Boyanna Mohu kowtowed heavily and said: "I'm resigning!"

A few hours later!

Boyanna Mohu led 1,500 elite members of the valiant cavalry battalion, one man and two horses, and set off directly with a small amount of supplies.

Head directly towards Tongzhou.

People in the capital were shocked.

So urgent?

So crazy?

Can't wait a day?

Su Yi's new army set off directly.

Immediately afterwards, Boyan's Xiaoqi battalion also set off directly.

The military situation is like a fire, so it won't be like this.

How beautiful is this Princess Shouxi, that she could have fascinated Su Ye and Prince Boyan like this?

Could she be even more beautiful than Chen Yuanyuan back then?

……………………………………………………

After Su Ye finished bathing, Qingqing helped him put on his clothes.

Then, a kiss almost killed her.

Su Ye left home and headed for the palace.

The two people's verbal communication was carried out in a special environment.

After Su Ye left, Qingqing did not bathe immediately, but went back to bed and lay down, and put a pillow under her body.

Let life flow backwards.

Then, she slightly raised her legs, picked up a book, and read quietly.

Children, your mother can only help you up to this point.

The rest depends on you.

………………………………………………

Su Ye went to the palace to meet the emperor!

As usual, the emperor gave him an imperial edict and a sword.

He and Boyan were treated exactly the same.

"Su Ye, I am very happy that you and Boyan are competing, but there must be a bottom line. You cannot hinder each other on the battlefield, let alone frame each other."

"What happened to the new army at that time must not happen again this time."

Then, the emperor added a few words.

"Your new army has only been trained for eight months and has never fought a war. It should not fight such a tough battle in the first battle. I originally wanted to arrange for you to go to Henan to suppress the Nian Rebellion, but you insisted on going to the battlefield in Yangzhou, so go ahead."

"But there is one thing, you can't take risks when you go to the battlefield this time. After all, it is a new army that has only been trained for eight months. Just treat it as actual combat training."

"The counterattack is great. The tens of thousands of troops in the Jiangbei camp were all defeated in just four or five days. Your less than two thousand new troops are really..."

"I am worried about your new army."

"What about the talk of retaking Yangzhou? I really just pretended that I didn't hear it."

"Thousands of words, finally turned into one sentence, don't be reckless!"

"In this battle, as long as you win one or two small battles, I will be satisfied."

At this time, Xianfeng was really worried.

The 1,500 cavalry battalions that Boyan took away had also experienced several battles and had been in service for many years.

Su Ye's new army, only eight months.

After spending so much, if he was killed on the battlefield, he, the emperor, would lose face.

In the eyes of the emperor, the rebel army of tens of thousands swept across the Jiangbei camp in just a few days, so the entire battlefield must be extremely dangerous.

It would be great to be able to keep northern Jiangsu, but it is not expected to recover Yangzhou in the short term.

The Hunan Army began to call for the recovery of Wuchang last year, but it has not been recovered yet.

Su Ye bowed and said, "I understand."

"I will take my leave!"

Looking at Su Ye's departing back, the emperor sighed.

…………………………………………………………

After taking the imperial edict and the sword, Su Ye did not stop and immediately rode to Tongzhou Wharf.

"Sorry, Brother Su Ye, all the canal transport ships are gone, you have to wait for three days!"

"After three days, I promise to give you a ship, how about it?"

The officials of the Canal Transport Governor's Office kept bowing to Su Ye.

Wang Shiqing and Su Ye's new army stood upright on the dock.

Looking at Boyan's Cavalry Battalion, they kept blindfolding the horses and then led them onto the canal transport ship one by one.

The cavalrymen of the Cavalry Battalion were lining up and boarding the ship one by one.

Wang Shiqing said angrily: "We were here first."

The official of the Governor's Office of the Canal Transport said: "I'm really sorry. Although you came first, our ship was booked by someone else first."

The officers and soldiers of the Cavalry Battalion laughed and said: "What's the use of you coming first? Your commander's background is not good, and there is no future for following him."

Boyan rode on the horse, his face was as cold as frost, and he immediately scolded: "What are you talking about, hurry up and get on the ship?"

For this battle, he paid too much.

Just for the early departure of these 1,500 elite cavalrymen, he paid more than 100,000 taels of silver.

Not to mention the silver spent before.

Then, he couldn't help but look at Su Ye.

Although you are favored by the emperor, your foundation is still too weak. Without the emperor, you can do nothing.

You have the emperor's order, and the Governor's Office of the Canal Transport will indeed arrange a ship for you, but I also have an order.

And there are only so many ships, and I have requisitioned them all.

If you want to use the ship, I don't know how many days you have to wait.

Boyan didn't know why Su Ye was so eager to rush to the battlefield, but he could stop all this and get to the battlefield first.

Once there is an opportunity to make merit, he can also seize it.

Su Ye looked at these canal transport ships and Boyan Nemohu at the same time.

Can't wait any longer.

Need to use another way to rush to the battlefield.

And facing this scene, he should have expected it.

Su Ye shouted: "Everyone, follow me, run!"

Then, Su Ye jumped on the horse.

The 1,500 new soldiers immediately followed Su Ye's footsteps without any hesitation and left Tongzhou Wharf.

Everyone was stunned, you don't take the boat?

Could it be? You still want to run to the battlefield?

Who knows how long it will take?

Of course, Su Ye didn't want to run to the Yangzhou battlefield, but to make a backup plan.

First rush back to Tianjin, then board the ship from the military camp dock and go by sea.

Su Ye had been waiting for the day when the Jiangbei camp fell, so the sea ship had been hired for more than two months.

First, take a boat across the sea to Shanghai, then enter the Yangtze River, and finally rush to the battlefield in Yangzhou.

This journey is actually shorter than the canal.

There are two variables. The first is that it is three hundred miles from the capital to Tianjin.

The second variable is that the estuary of the Yangtze River from Shanghai is controlled by the British at this time.

As long as everything goes well, Su Ye can still reach the battlefield faster than Boyan.

Now, not only do we have to race against time, but we also have to race against Boyan.

We must not let Boyan get to the battlefield first.

After leaving Boyan's sight, Su Ye said: "Shiqing, you ride a fast horse back to the military camp immediately, let the sea ship be prepared, and let the artillery troops board the ship first, and let the food supplies and ammunition be loaded on the ship first. When I lead the main force to arrive, board the ship immediately and set off."

Wang Shiqing originally wanted to let Su Ye go to the military camp to do these things, and he, the deputy commander, led the main force to hurry on the road.

But the duty of a soldier is to obey.

"Yes!" Wang Shiqing said nothing, riding a horse and leading another horse, heading towards the military camp.

Su Ye shouted: "All the soldiers, run forward, march three hundred miles, the destination is the new army barracks!"

Then, he turned over and dismounted.

He led 1,500 soldiers and began a forced march.

………………………………………………

This forced march came very suddenly.

Relying entirely on his legs, carrying a load of 30 kilograms, and marching 150 kilometers.

This has never happened before.

But Su Ye wants to race against time, and race against Boyan.

It can be regarded as the last extreme endurance training before the new army's actual combat.

In this way, Su Ye led 1,500 new soldiers, burying his head and running desperately.

The new army once again broke its own limit.

An almost crazy limit.

Twenty-eight hours later!

The last new soldier, almost in a daze, ran into the military camp with blurred eyes.

Wang Shiqing looked at this scene in disbelief.

Fourteen hours, three hundred miles, no one fell behind, all arrived!

What a miracle!

After arriving at the military camp, the 1,500 main forces of the new army did not lie down to rest immediately, but slowed down under the guidance and began to board the ship.

More than two hours later!

All the new troops of Su Ye have boarded the ship!

"Let's go!"

A conch sounded.

More than 20 ships set sail southward.

…………………………………………………………

The last time Hei Gong and others took a ship, they were seasick and vomited, and almost lost their combat effectiveness.

After that, he learned from his mistakes and went out to sea every day for half a month, and it was a very bumpy boat.

Su Ye learned this lesson, so going out to sea by boat has long become one of the training items of the new army.

And it was also a very bumpy boat.

So, after vomiting, he got used to it.

This time, the main force of the new army sailed south on a large sea ship, and the seasickness reaction was already very mild.

Seventy-six hours later!

Su Ye's twenty or so troop transport ships arrived at the entrance of the Yangtze River in Shanghai, and British ships immediately came to inspect.

However, when they saw that it was Su Ye, they immediately stepped forward to hug.

"Dear King of Songs, dear King of Dance, you are here. I can't imagine how happy Sir Wade and Sir Henry will be."

"I will prepare for the ball immediately, and I will definitely let you shine again tonight."

I met this British officer at the ball.

Su Ye hurriedly explained that he was going to Yangzhou to fight and was very sorry that he could not attend your ball.

"Please wait, I will report, don't worry, it will be very soon!"

"You are a friend of the British Empire and my friend, everything will go smoothly."

Sure enough, it will be very soon!

Just seven hours later, two armed merchant ships followed Su Ye.

"This is a gift from Sir Henry. It contains a lot of shells and bullets you need, as well as other supplies."

"Of course, as a friend, you will definitely not let us suffer a loss, right? This batch of supplies needs to be about 20% more expensive."

"Finally, I wish you a successful start and a stunning success!"

"But I still need to tell you that in your country, the Taiping Army is a very brutal team. You only have less than 2,000 people, so you still have to be extremely careful."

……………………………………………………

From the mouth of the Yangtze River in Shanghai, we went upstream all the way.

Almost thirty hours later, we arrived at our destination.

Su Ye's fleet landed near Shijia Bridge, about 60 miles east of Yangzhou City.

The fleet could not go any further, otherwise it would encounter the warships of the Taiping Army.

Although there was an armed merchant ship escorted by Sir Henry, the British were very cunning and would never open fire on the Taiping Army for him.

Landing was the most dangerous.

The new army immediately built a simple defense line at the landing site.

A dozen miles ahead is the war zone.

Within this area of ​​dozens of miles, there are probably 50,000 to 60,000 troops in total.

There are more than 20,000 people in the Jiangbei camp and more than 40,000 Taiping troops.

There are two urgent things to do now.

The first thing is to send people to find out the truth about Yangzhou City and how many Taiping troops are there.

The second thing is to immediately find the main force of the Jiangbei camp.

Otherwise, it would be too dangerous for Su Ye's less than 2,000 new troops to wander around in this war zone.

Following his order, more than a dozen scouts changed into ordinary clothes and rushed in several directions.

For example, in the shortest possible time, the fog of war in this area should be cleared.

If history had not changed, the main force of the Jiangbei Camp should be in Shaobo Town, less than 30 miles away from here.

…………………………………………………………

In the camp of Shaobo Town!

The four giants of the Jiangbei Camp were frowning.

The commander-in-chief was General Jiangning Tuo Ming'a, the deputy governor De Xing'a, the assistant minister of the Jiangbei Camp Lei Yizhen, and the junior secretary Weng Tongshu.

During this period of time, they were really completely stunned.

The rebels were really too fierce.

In just four or five days, they swept across the entire Jiangbei Camp, occupied Yangzhou, and broke more than a hundred camps.

Now, the tens of thousands of troops of the rebels are divided into two parts, one is stationed in Yangzhou City, and the other is gathering, and I don’t know what to do.

The 20,000 Qing troops in Jiangbei Camp were terrified and in a state of panic.

They could not imagine how angry the emperor would be.

There was only one way to keep their hats and even their lives.

That was to recapture Yangzhou.

At that time, they could not stop the rebels as the defenders. Now the rebels were defending the city and wanted to recapture Yangzhou?

How was it possible?

So in the past few days, the four giants in Jiangbei Camp began to shirk responsibility and urge each other.

They all said they wanted to recapture Yangzhou.

But no one dared to go.

As for reinforcements?

I dared not even think about it.

The nearest reinforcements were from Jiangnan Camp, but Jiangnan Camp and Jiangbei Camp had always been at odds.

A large part of the money for Jiangnan Camp was paid by southern Jiangsu merchants represented by Suzhou, while part of the salary for Jiangbei Camp was paid by northern Jiangsu merchants represented by Yangzhou salt merchants.

The province of internal strife, is it actually just a name?

Moreover, Shi Dakai fought well in the western battlefield and had returned with tens of thousands of troops.

The Jiangnan camp was too busy to protect itself, let alone save the Jiangbei camp.

Without reinforcements, there were only the remnants of the defeated soldiers on hand.

So during this period of time, the 20,000 remnants of the Jiangbei camp huddled in the Shaobo Town camp.

They quarreled every day and shirked the responsibility for the defeat every day.

The morale of the 20,000 remnants was extremely low. Not to mention counterattacks, even the Shaobo Town camp could not be defended.

The rebel army attacked every two or three days.

These 20,000 remnants were on the verge of collapse.

And once these 20,000 remnants collapsed completely, then... the entire northern Jiangsu would fall.

The important salt tax areas of the Lianghuai and Huaibei regions of the Qing Dynasty and the important water transport areas were all lost.

How angry would the emperor be if he lost such a large source of income?

If all this really happened, the heads of the four people present would basically be difficult to save.

At this moment, a general suddenly rushed in.

"Report to the commander, the imperial court's reinforcements have arrived, just 30 miles to the south. The chief of the reinforcements is just outside the camp!"

The commander of the Jiangbei camp, Tuo Ming'a, was stunned.

Reinforcements?

Where did the reinforcements come from?

It's good to have reinforcements, it's good to have reinforcements!

No matter where they come from, at least it can boost morale.

Tuo Ming'a said: "Where is the chief of the reinforcements? I will go to meet him in person."

At this time, the reinforcements are too precious.

So, Tuo Ming'a took the other three giants and greeted them all.

Seeing Su Ye's young and handsome face, the four giants of the Jiangbei camp were stunned.

Who is this?

"May I ask which reinforcements are coming from? Which general? Where are they from?" Tuo Ming'a asked with a salute.

Su Ye said: "I am the chief of the Tianjin New Army, Su Ye."

Several people were stunned, you are Su Ye?

Tuominga said: "General Su Ye, where did you lead your army from?"

Su Ye said: "From the capital."

From the capital?

How is this possible?

Our 600-mile express delivery has only been sent for a few days?

Tuominga asked: "General Su Ye, when did you leave the capital?"

Su Ye said: "Seven days ago!"

All of a sudden, the four giants of Jiangbei Camp were completely stunned.

This, this, this is impossible!

From the capital to Yangzhou Prefecture, it's a full three thousand miles.

You led your army to arrive in seven days?

You...can you fly?

But the fact is that Su Ye's new army created an unprecedented miracle.

And at this time, a team of scouts galloped over and shouted loudly: "Marshal, Marshal, something bad is going to happen, the rebel army is attacking! The rebel army is attacking!"

"How many people are there?"

"Many, many, many!"

Su Ye was stunned?

Why did the Taiping Army start to hunt down the remnants of the Jiangbei Camp?

This doesn't match the history. Wouldn’t the subsequent history also change?

Tuoming’a and others were shocked!

Fighting again? How many times has this happened?

His 20,000 remaining troops were already extremely demoralized and exhausted.

If the rebels attacked again, his remaining troops would collapse.

Suddenly, Tuoming’a asked, “General Su Ye, where is your army? How many people are there?”

Su Ye said, “Thirty miles to the south, there are 1,600 people.”

Only 1,600 people? And thirty miles away?

Besides, you have traveled three thousand miles to come here, and you are probably more tired than the remnants of our Jiangnan camp, and you have no fighting power.

You can't count on them at all.

Su Ye solemnly handed the emperor's edict to the other party.

Tuo Ming'a took it respectfully and looked at it. He was stunned, and then even more disappointed.

Su Ye, this is still a new army, and it has only been trained for eight months?

The emperor said that this new army is under the control of his Jiangbei camp, helping it to grow in real combat, but please be sure to protect the safety of the new army.

The emperor is treating me as a nanny, letting this new army come to the battlefield to practice and gain military merits? You don't go to suppress bandits and practice actual combat, but come to this most dangerous battlefield? Are you looking for death?

Immediately, Tuo Ming'a said: "Brother Su Ye, the battlefield is not a joke. The situation is very dangerous now. Now the remnants of my Jiangbei camp can hardly protect themselves, let alone you."

"The emperor ordered that your new army cannot suffer heavy losses. I can't bear the responsibility!"

"Brother Su Ye, take your 1,600 people and run quickly. The farther the better."

Su Ye said firmly: "Lord Tuo Ming'a, we don't need your protection. Since you are here, we will treat everyone equally. I must participate in the war. Please assign me combat tasks."

Tuo Ming'a said: "This is actual combat, not just talk on paper. Are you sure you want to participate? If there are heavy casualties or a direct defeat, I will not be responsible."

Su Ye said: "I am sure to participate. If there are casualties, I, the commander of the new army, will be responsible."
