Chapter 246 What is the plan?
Qin Sheng slowly put away the strange book in his hand and said, "In fact, I haven't understood enough. I need to ask you for more advice."
Ever since the defeat in Zhucheng, the arrogance of this eldest son of the Qin family has long since disappeared.
"No rush, take your time."
Jiang Zuo said.
After all, he had studied for many years before he had any basic understanding.
"By the way, what's the matter with you coming to see me today?"
Qin Sheng asked.
"The Chen Kingdom, Jiangdong Dao, Zeshui Town, has started an uprising. Have you heard any news about it?"
Jiang Zuo said.
"Not yet. Is this news true?"
Qin Sheng said.
He had already sent his trusted men back to the State of Chen to inquire about the news, but their whereabouts are still unknown.
Jiang Zuo said: "It's absolutely true. Our spies in Chen State have received news that Zeshui Town was previously the sphere of influence of your Qin family. Their peasant army may not last long, but if your Qin family can return to Chen State, relying on the prestige of the Qin family, and lead these rebel armies, you may be able to fight against the Chen State court. However, you are injured now, so it's not the right time yet."
A Yan person in Jiangzuo actually knew everything about Chen State better than Qin Sheng did. Qin Sheng felt ashamed.
"Since the defeat in Zhucheng, our Qin family has been severely damaged, and our brothers are scattered all over the place and cannot be contacted. Otherwise, we can return to Chen State now and rebuild the army."
Qin Sheng sighed and said.
Jiang Zuo said, "Don't worry. I have already sent people to Chen State to inquire about the whereabouts of the rest of your Qin family. I will inform you as soon as I have any news."
"Then thank you, Master Jiang..."
Qin Sheng said in a low voice.
"Don't call me Sir. You are from Chen. It's not appropriate to call me a Yan person as Sir. Just call me Jiang Zuo."
Jiang Zuo laughed.
Qin Sheng was silent for a moment before he said, "Thank you, Brother Jiang Zuo. I really have no way to repay you for helping our Qin family."
Compared to the first time they met, Qin Sheng no longer had any hostility or arrogance towards Jiang Zuo. Instead, he was filled with deep gratitude.
Jiang Zuo waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and then said: "I am helping you only for the Yan court. Only your Qin family can severely damage the Chen court. Then our Yan will rise up and destroy Chen. We are all in a relationship of interest, so there is no need to thank you."
Qin Sheng was slightly moved, and then said: "I wonder when your Yan State will raise troops to attack Chen?"
If the Yan army could go to war with the Chen army, the Chen court would be too busy to take care of other things, and the Qin family might be able to take the opportunity to regain their power.
Jiang Zuo said: "The court has no plans yet."
The heavy responsibility of defeating the State of Chen this time lies on Jiang Zuo.
As the general appointed by the empress to conquer the south, Jiang Zuo has not been too attentive in preparing for the southern expedition these days. Instead, he has devoted all his energy to the economic development of Jiangzhou City.
As for what the plan is?
Then we can only wait for the situation in Chen State to change.
Now, there is war in the State of Chen.
As long as the time is right, Qin Sheng and his family can be sent back to the State of Chen to launch an uprising.
"Why don't I go to Zeshui Town in a few days, contact the peasant army, and prepare for a new round of uprising?"
Qin Sheng said again at this time.
He had been staying in his room these days to recuperate, and he was beginning to feel anxious.
He has been brooding over the defeat in Zhu City ever since.
Jiang Zuo thought for a moment before saying, "Don't be in a hurry. Wait until the exact news comes from the State of Chen before you return to Qishan to prepare for the uprising. Is that ok?"
Qin Sheng looked calm and nodded.
Perhaps now, the best way is to wait calmly.
But I don’t know what the real situation is in Chen State…
Three more days passed.
In Jiangzhou City, everything seemed to be normal.
The demolition work went very smoothly and many new residential areas have begun construction.
The city of Jiangzhou seemed to be thriving.
The Ninth Prince’s residence.
Chen Xiu stood in the courtyard, looking at the flowers and plants in front of him, feeling a sense of inexplicable sadness in his heart.
It has been some time since I came to Jiangzhou City, but I have achieved nothing.
Chen Xiu did not forget the main business, but he would not give up until he found out the details of Jiang Zuo.
After investigating for so many days and probing for so long, we still haven't found any evidence against Jiang Zuo.
Chen Xiu also began to doubt whether Jiang Zuo was really just greedy for money and had not done anything more excessive.
But Chen Xiu has always been persistent and doesn't want to give up halfway.
Now there is no definite order from the emperor, so Chen Xiu plans to hide his identity for a while and find out the secret that Jiang Zuo is hiding.
"This Jiangzhou City is too abnormal."
Chen Xiu thought to himself.
What real estate, what new industry, these strange words made Chen Xiu unable to understand.
Thinking about that time, Meng Cheng came forward and said, "Master, Su Shaoxun is here."
Fearing that Jiang Zuo might send people to monitor him secretly, Meng Cheng always called Chen Xiu "Young Master".
The Su Shaoxun he mentioned was the deputy general of the Huainan Army.
The Huainan Army was an elite frontline force fighting against the State of Yan.
This time, there must be something big going on.
"Did he come here alone? Did he bring any troops with him?"
Chen Xiu asked.
Meng Cheng said: "Master, don't worry. Before Su Shaoxun came, he had already notified us. We also asked him to bring only a few trusted people with him, so it won't attract attention."
After hearing this, Chen Xiu was relieved and said, "Let him come in, we can talk in the room."
He was worried that the walls had ears.
After a while, Su Shaoxun, deputy general of the Huainan Army, came to meet the Ninth Prince.
After arriving in the room, Chen Xiucai asked, "I wonder what Vice Admiral Su is here for?"
Su Shaoxun replied: "The 120,000 Huainan troops are ready, just waiting for the orders from the Ninth Prince and Lord Jiang."
"Order?" Chen Xiu was stunned and didn't know how to respond.
After all, I have been busy with Jiang Zuo these days and haven't had much time to deal with serious matters.
"I have no orders yet."
Chen Xiu said blankly.
"What is the plan of the prince and Lord Jiang?"
Su Shaoxun asked again.
plan?
It's so funny. I never talked to Jiang Zuo about it.
In Chen Xiu's opinion, Jiang Zuo doesn't even know his true identity now, let alone talk about any plan to destroy Chen.
The time is not yet ripe, so there is no need to rush.
"The plan hasn't been finalized yet. You don't need to visit Lord Jiang. If you have any questions, just come to me."
Chen Xiu said.
Hearing this, Su Shaoxun was slightly puzzled and asked, "Your Majesty, are you talking about reconciliation?"
Chen Xiu explained, "I will discuss this with Envoy Jiang. You should return to Ningzhou and wait for orders. If there are any instructions, I will send someone to inform you. Now is not the best time to attack the State of Chen. We may need another month to prepare. You Huainan troops should be ready at any time."
Su Shaoxun then leaned forward and said, "Yes, sir. Then I will follow the prince's arrangements."
Chen Xiu looked solemn.
What was the plan to destroy the State of Chen?
He seemed unable to figure it out for the time being.
