Chapter 125: Female Supremacy: One Little Husband a Day 1
"Old General, I looked at the records of the Ministry of War yesterday and found that this riot was different from the previous ones. It seemed that someone was pushing it behind the scenes, so I came to ask for your opinion."
General Liu nodded and said, "You are right. I have also looked up some previous cases. Most of them are people who are dissatisfied with the exploitation of their parents and officials and spontaneously organize resistance teams.
This riot only covered a small area, and the troops were very scattered, but now the force is developing very quickly, which is not at all what a few farmers can achieve on a whim. "
After two hours of analysis, Chu Yuan finally figured out the rebels' intention, which turned out to be a breakthrough from the inside.
By then, the captured cities will form a siege, and they will be able to directly occupy a large area of land in the northern part of Chengyuan State.
This should be the work of the Northern Meng Kingdom.
Fortunately, they discovered it in time and the rebels were not yet powerful enough.
It seems that the Queen Mother is indeed wise and powerful. If she had only sent a small team of 10,000 people to suppress the bandits, I'm afraid the entire army would have been wiped out.
Moreover, when more military intelligence arrives, perhaps all nine cities in the northern border will be occupied.
After understanding the situation, Chu Yuan quickly formulated a series of combat plans. The most urgent task was to block the convergence of these forces.
Speed is of the essence in war, so she decided to set off immediately to join the main force.
He symbolically took a few pieces of clothing with him, hung his bag on the horse's back and set off, without even taking Yunchuan and Yunfeng with him.
Her things are all placed in the space, which makes it more convenient when she is alone and out.
When she was leaving, she passed by Qi Mansion and handed a letter and a jade bracelet to the servant guarding the gate, asking her to pass them on to the young master.
The jade bracelet was collected in her space, a light green jade bracelet with excellent water quality and floating flowers.
She originally kept it for herself to wear, but women in this world have no use for these things.
When I was sorting out the food in the space that day, I saw this bracelet and felt that it was suitable for Qi Yunzhen at first sight.
So Chu Yuan took it out and prepared it as a birthday gift for his fifteenth birthday.
But plans cannot keep up with changes. I didn't expect that I would have to go north now and might not be able to come back in time for his birthday.
I can only leave my thoughts and the bracelet with him for now.
Qi Yunzhen was very surprised when he received the gift. As the young master of the Taifu family, he had received many birthday gifts since he was a child, some of which were as valuable as this bracelet.
But this was a gift from His Highness, so it certainly cannot be compared with others.
It was a pity that His Highness left in such a hurry that he didn’t have time to see him. He even asked for a amulet to give to His Highness.
After traveling for half a day, Chu Yuan met up with the main force in the north of the city.
The marching speed of 50,000 troops was too slow, so Chu Yuan did not choose to go with them, but instead led a vanguard of 500 people to go ahead.
Three days ahead of the main force, she arrived outside Taihe County, where the riot was most severe.
The riots covered three places in total, and the scope was even expanding at a very fast speed.
The entire Taihe County is now closed to people who can only leave but not enter. She originally wanted to go in to find out some information, but now she can't do it.
Not knowing the enemy situation, Chu Yuan did not dare to dispatch this vanguard team rashly. He let them hide outside the city first and went to the farther Wuli County alone.
Wuli County was the second place where the riot broke out. It had not been completely captured yet, at least there were still people coming in and out of the city gate.
Chu Yuan put the horse into the space, changed into an old woman's clothes and sneaked into the city.
Anyone entering the city would be searched, and Chu Yuan could clearly sense that there were at least a dozen eyes focused on her at that time.
There were only 6 guards in the open, and the rest were hiding in the dark.
Chu Yuan listened to the thoughts of the six guards and found that two of them had already defected.
Their task is to pay attention to the figure of every person entering the city and report immediately if they find anyone abnormal.
Fortunately, Chu Yuan’s disguise was very successful and did not attract the attention of these two people.
After entering the city, she first came to the place where the most city news was gathered - the inn.
Chu Yuan asked the waiter to bring a bowl of plain noodles and a plate of braised beef, and sat at the table to eat.
While eating, she was paying attention to the conversations of the people around her. Her powerful mental strength allowed her to hear the voices of everyone on this floor.
The people at the nearby tables were talking about family matters, but at the table near the door, there was an old lady saying that someone came to her house yesterday to mobilize her to join the Princely Army.
The Tubang Army is a general term used by people here to refer to the rebels. Because they emerged from the fields, they are called Tubang.
The man promised many benefits, the most tempting of which was that he could eat a white flour bun every day and get money.
“In fact, my husband and children at home wouldn’t let me go, saying it was too dangerous. Many of these local armies have been wiped out since ancient times.
It’s just that in this world, although I won’t starve to death, I don’t know what’s the point of living with only a few mouthfuls of food hanging on every day.”
"Your family is relatively well-off, as you still have some extra money to eat out. Look at the villages around here, there are so many women in their thirties and forties who can't even find a husband."
Chu Yuan was mentally prepared before he came. The reason why riots often occurred in the north was ultimately due to the problem of grain production.
This is the situation with the land here. The Queen has tried many ways to solve the problem during her years on the throne, but there has been no improvement.
Chu Yuan was planning for this matter when he counted the food in the space.
We can’t send troops to suppress every riot, so the best way is to solve the problem at its root.
But it's too early to think about this now.
With the help of some information he heard in the inn, Chu Yuan found the base camp of the Tubang army.
She found a place that looked like a study, jumped onto the roof and moved a few tiles away.
There was no one in the room, but the door was bolted from the inside.
Chu Yuan decided to go in and find out what was going on. She used her mental power to pull open the bolt little by little, sneaked in quietly, and then put the bolt back in after entering.
The room was filled with poetry collections, calligraphy and paintings, but there were no swords or military books.
This looks like an ordinary scholar's room.
Chu Yuan was still searching everywhere in the house, trying to find out if there was a secret passage or secret room inside.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the door, and it sounded like there were at least three people.
Chu Yuan quickly put the things he had looked at back to their original places and hid on the beam.
"Please come in, big sister."
"Third sister, you don't have to be polite. Let's get down to business."
"That's what the elder sister said."
After saying this, the man pressed a mechanism on the wall, and a secret room came into view.
After the three of them walked in, the door of the secret room slowly closed, and it was impossible to tell what happened inside.
Chu Yuan didn't dare to act rashly, and hid on the beam for half an hour.
