Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy
Chapter 346 Convergence
Wei Qiliang briefly described the battle situation.
At the beginning, the Cangwu army relied on its advantage in weapons to suppress the army of the King of Southern Xinjiang, with the aim of forcing the Southern Xinjiang Saint and his entourage to negotiate a ceasefire as soon as possible.
But ever since the news of the Saint Maiden of Southern Xinjiang committing suicide in prison came, the soldiers from the Ailao and Baiyue villages, who had always remained neutral, also joined in. They all shouted for revenge for the Saint Maiden, and their morale was unprecedentedly high.
These people were good at guerrilla warfare and familiar with the local terrain. The Dingguo Army had to allocate some of its men to deal with the self-defense forces in these villages and to fight against the large army of the King of Southern Xinjiang.
As a result, the battle line was too long and the combat area was too wide. The Dingguo Army was harassed and annoyed. It was really beyond its ability and was exhausted.
From Wei Qiliang, Song Jinxiu caught a piece of information, that is, the village.
She asked, "Don't the villages here originally participate in the war? Aren't they under the rule of the King of Southern Xinjiang?"
Wei Qiliang said: "The situation in Southern Xinjiang is similar to that in Northern Xinjiang. It is composed of multiple forces. There are many mountains and rivers here, and transportation is inconvenient. Although each village is connected, it exists independently.
They have not truly submitted to the King of Southern Xinjiang, and their vassal relationship with him is mainly maintained by the Saintess of Southern Xinjiang."
Having said that, he glanced at Song Jinxiu and said, "Your Highness, the Princess, please don't blame yourself. The Saint of Southern Border is not of our kind. Even if the Princess is not eliminated, our Dingguo Army will not tolerate her."
Song Jinxiu smiled, "Why should I blame myself? Killing the Southern Border Saintess's natal Gu was the most correct thing I did. General Wei, just go ahead and tell me what's going on. Don't be shy about telling me what to do."
Wei Qiliang looked at his little savior again, and only when he was sure that she really had no regrets did he breathe a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that the little girl would cry when she knew that the death of the Saint of Southern Xinjiang had led to the complexity of this war.
Seeing that the little girl remained calm, Wei Qiliang praised her: "As expected of the eldest princess, you are a real man who dares to act and take responsibility."
Song Jinxiu smiled modestly and asked, "General, do you know how this Saintess of Southern Xinjiang maintains her status in the various villages?"
The greatest ability of the Saint of Southern Border is to raise Gu. Could it be that all these people have been poisoned by Gu?
If it was controlled by the Gu worm, wouldn't these people be freed if the Southern Border Saint died? Why would they still seek revenge for their Saint?
Wei Qiliang said, "It should be a kind of belief. If Your Highness wants to know more about the Saintess of Southern Xinjiang, I can find a few locals for Your Highness. They know more details."
Song Jinxiu nodded, "Okay."
At this moment, a soldier came to report: "The rattan armor is ready."
Wei Qiliang explained: "The south is hot and humid, and the soldiers can't wear the iron armor. Although the iron armor is strong, it is not breathable. The soldiers get heat rash on their bodies, and if they scratch, if it becomes ulcerated and festers, it will definitely cause problems.
So, I had rattan armor prepared, which is essential for our southern army. It's a specially treated rattan armor. Although not as strong as iron armor, it is lightweight, waterproof, and breathable, which is perfect for here.
Song Jinxiu was not surprised by the rattan armor, but Su Mo looked at it again and again with curiosity. He had only heard of it before but had never seen it in person. He personally tested the sturdiness of the rattan armor before ordering the soldiers to change their armor.
The war was intense, and the Su family army took a short rest before heading to the main battlefield to join the battle.
As the military supervisor, Song Jinxiu was to sit in the central military camp with General Wei.
In view of the instability on the border, Su Mo proposed that the 5,000 cavalrymen from the Xishan camp stay in the central military camp and follow Song Jinxiu.
As soon as he arrived at the central military camp, he found that there were not many soldiers left there.
Perhaps General Wei was a man of great skill and courage, and he had his own considerations, but he was uneasy until he made proper arrangements for Song Jinxiu's safety.
Along the way, he had also realized that these 5,000 cavalrymen followed the little girl's lead. With their protection, there was no need to worry about the little girl's safety even if the self-defense forces in the village attacked the camp.
Wei Qiliang frowned. The battle line was too long and the troops were insufficient. His central military camp was stationed in the rear, so he only left 500 guards and 300 scouts.
He glanced at Song Jinxiu, opened his mouth, and nodded in agreement.
Although Song Jinxiu is a military supervisor, she is also the eldest princess personally appointed by His Majesty, so her safety is naturally more important.
It is right to leave more soldiers and horses for protection, but it is impossible for all 5,000 cavalrymen to stay. He didn't say it now, but just wanted to wait until he got familiar with the little girl, and then appeal to her emotions, explain things to her rationally, and slowly discuss things with her.
Song Jinxiu said nothing. She didn't know anything about using troops and fighting wars. She had just arrived in southern Xinjiang and didn't understand many things. She needed to understand the overall situation before making a decision.
It would be better to keep more people around, so that she can understand the situation clearly and then make a decision based on the circumstances.
So she also needs her own army.
As soon as dawn broke, Su Mo led the Su family army away. He wanted to support the Eastern Army in fighting against the King of Southern Xinjiang.
The 5,000 cavalrymen left behind in the Xishan camp were dumbfounded.
These days, they have become familiar with the Su family army, and even discussed following the Su family army to the northern border after the war in the southern border is over.
Now the Su family army has left without taking them with them. Why?
At this moment, General Wei's deputy general Zhang Feng came over and said sarcastically, "The princess is of noble status. Our general only needs 500 guards to protect her, but the princess needs 5,000 cavalry to protect her. You should stay here and protect the princess."
Zhang Feng is the deputy general of General Wei, so he naturally knows the intensity of the current war.
This so-called princess inspector of the army requires five thousand cavalrymen to protect her alone. This is really unreasonable.
Also, there is already a military supervisor here. Your Majesty is sending an immature princess to be the military supervisor. Does this mean you don't trust the general, or are you here to cause trouble?
The general worked hard to defend his country and also took great pains to protect a woman. Since the princess was a precious daughter, why did she come to the war-torn southern border?
He was angry, and it came out naturally in his words.
Everyone looked at each other.
What does it mean that the general gets 500 and their princess gets 5,000? Is this because they have a problem with their eldest princess?
Along the way, the 5,000 cavalrymen of the Xishan Camp had great admiration and respect for Song Jinxiu. How could they tolerate someone playing tricks on their eldest princess like this?
Then someone said coldly: "Since the princess needs our 5,000 cavalry to protect her, it means that the central army tent is not safe.
Even the central army tent is not safe. Are the Dingguo Army just there to eat and do nothing?
As soon as these words were spoken, the Dingguo Army was dissatisfied.
In the battles of Southern Xinjiang, how many of their Dingguo Army had died fighting bloody battles? Of those who remained, who hadn't crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood?
It doesn’t matter what else they say about them, but calling them trash is intolerable!
Suddenly the two groups started arguing.
Song Jinxiu did not rest.
General Wei, who was in charge of the overall situation and was busy with military affairs, only briefly explained the current situation before arranging other matters in the camp, leaving his deputy, Liu Hai, to provide Song Jinxiu with a more detailed introduction.
Liu Hai is a local and was pointing to the map in the central military tent to introduce the situation of the village to Song Jinxiu.
At this time, someone came to report that the two groups of people were fighting.
Song Jinxiu's expression suddenly became stern, and she strode out of the central military tent.
