Chapter 127 Qin Wu's Arrangements - 1
"Your Highness, tonight the army in Jianggu City mutinied, and the clan army was completely wiped out by the Southern Qi court's army."
"The Southern Qi court's army has now left the city and is heading towards the Southern Qi capital."
Liu Feng quickly appeared outside Qin Wu's tent and reported to Qin Wu inside.
Upon receiving the news, he dared not delay and immediately reported it to Qin Wu, fearing that it would hinder Qin Wu's important affairs.
Upon hearing Liu Feng's report, Qin Wu opened his eyes, immediately got up, dressed, and left his tent.
Has the message been confirmed?
Qin Wu inquired.
"I personally confirmed that the Southern Qi army has left the city, and there are no longer any guards in Jianggu City."
Liu Feng said in a very certain tone.
This matter is so important, how could he possibly report it without confirming it first?
"Good, I didn't expect the Imperial Shadow Guard to be so efficient."
"Issue my order: all soldiers, get up and prepare to enter Jianggu City. You shall inform the Imperial Shadow Guards to open the city gates at dawn."
Qin Wu glanced at the sky; it was at most half an hour until dawn.
Now that Jiang Gucheng's army has completely withdrawn, he will definitely not miss such a good opportunity.
"Yes."
Liu Feng accepted the order and left.
Qin Wu returned to his tent.
Jordan Xue had also gotten up, wearing only a single layer of clothing, lying on her side on the bed, supporting her head with one hand.
"Your Highness, has something happened?"
Jordan asked.
She had been following Qin Wu for several months and knew some things. Unless something major happened, Liu Feng wouldn't disturb Qin Wu's rest.
The arrival of the whirlwind must mean something big has happened.
"Okay, let's pack up and prepare to enter Jianggu City!"
Qin Wu didn't say much, only giving a brief instruction.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Danxue immediately stood up. Although she didn't know what had happened in Jiang Gucheng, she didn't ask any more questions since Qin Wu had said so.
Anyway, we'll be in Jianggu City soon, and we'll know everything once we're inside.
Half an hour later.
The army has assembled.
Qin Wu led his army directly towards Jianggu City.
When they arrived, the city gates of Jianggu were wide open, with dozens of men in black standing on both sides.
These people are the Imperial Shadow Guards.
"Greetings, Divine Martial King."
Upon seeing Qin Wu arrive, the group of Imperial Shadow Guards immediately stepped forward and bowed.
"No need for formalities, let's enter the city first."
Qin Wu nodded to everyone.
Without hesitation, the Imperial Shadow Guards immediately led the way.
"Send 40,000 men to guard the city gates, arrange 20,000 men to patrol the city, and the rest will follow me to the military camp."
Upon entering the city, Qin Wu immediately issued orders.
Immediately afterwards, six teams split off from the army and headed in different directions.
Qin Wu led his army directly to the military camp.
Upon entering the military camp, one discovers that the entire camp is like a hellish hell.
Limbs and torsos were everywhere, and the entire military camp reeked of blood.
This shows how intense the battle was last night.
Seeing this scene, Qin Wu had to admit that the Imperial Shadow Guards were indeed quite capable, achieving such results in such a short time.
"Your Imperial Shadow Guards did a good job this time. After the battle is over, I will recommend you for commendation. You can go and get back to work."
Qin Wu said to the Imperial Shadow Guard.
He was very satisfied with how the Imperial Shadow Guard had handled things this time.
I thought it would take some time, but I didn't expect it to help him take over Jianggu City so quickly.
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness."
After thanking them, the leader of the Imperial Shadow Guards quickly disappeared with his men.
"Ziyu, have the brothers clean up the camp and dispose of the corpses to prevent a plague."
Qin Wu gave instructions to the Dragon Cavalry General.
"Yes."
Dragon Cavalry General Li Ziyu immediately accepted the order and went to make arrangements.
Qin Wu led his men directly to the commander's tent.
"Liufeng, your secret guards must monitor the movements of the Southern Qi army at all times and report back every hour."
Qin Wu arrived at the command tent and immediately gave instructions to Liu Feng.
"Yes."
Liu Feng accepted the order.
"By the way, where is the Marquis of Zhennan's army?"
Qin Wu inquired.
"We will arrive today."
"Alright, send someone to urge them to speed up their march. We need to prepare for the capital of Qi."
Qin Wu confessed.
Noon.
The Marquis of Zhennan finally arrived with his men.
They were originally scheduled to arrive in the afternoon, but after receiving Qin Wu's message...
They set off immediately and arrived two hours ahead of schedule.
"Your Majesty."
Marquis Zhennan entered the commander's tent.
"No need for formalities, come over here."
Qin Wu stood in front of the sand table and interrupted the Marquis of Zhennan and the others before they could even pay their respects.
The generals immediately came to the sand table.
"Look, we are only two days' journey from Qidu, with some small towns in between."
"Now that the Southern Qi army is rushing back to the capital, it will likely take the troops from these small towns with it and head straight back to the capital. It won't be difficult for us to capture the capital."
"This is the situation in Qidu."
As Qin Wu explained, he gestured to his personal guards to hand over the current intelligence on Qi Capital to the generals.
The generals were puzzled, but they took the intelligence and began to examine it.
They had been very curious on their way here, and yesterday's intelligence had not mentioned that the Divine Martial King was attacking the city.
But today they actually captured the great city of Jianggu, which made them all quite curious.
Some couldn't believe it and thought the intelligence was wrong. They only believed it was true when they arrived and entered the city directly.
They were all eager to know how the Divine Martial King had captured Jianggu City so quickly.
After they finished reading the intelligence, they finally understood that, if we're talking about ruthlessness, the Divine Martial King was the most ruthless, having schemed to kill everyone in the Southern Qi imperial lineage.
There was even a grandmaster who died because of scheming.
Not only that, it also caused a mutiny among the Jianggu army, leading to their withdrawal from Jianggu City.
"Your Highness, if that's the case, we can send troops directly to catch up with the Southern Qi army and take advantage of their entry into the city to directly attack and destroy the Southern Qi capital."
The Marquis of Zhennan spoke.
The excitement in his voice was impossible to conceal.
If they can capture Qidu, they can be said to have captured most of Southern Qi.
All that's left is to surround and annihilate those who refuse to submit, and then we can take over the entire Southern Qi.
This is a feat that could destroy a nation!
Not only was the Marquis of Zhennan excited, but all the other generals were excited as well.
If they can capture the capital of Southern Qi, all of them will likely be granted titles.
That would be an immense fortune!
"No rush, let them fight first, and we can clean up the mess after they're done."
"I have over 20 troops here, plus the 60 troops you brought, making a total of over 80 troops. We won't need that many people to attack the capital of Southern Qi this time."
"I need to divide my forces. I will take 40 troops to the capital of Southern Qi, and the remaining 40 troops will be divided into four routes to take over the entire Southern Qi as quickly as possible."
Qin Wu rejected the Marquis of Zhennan's proposal.
If they attack the capital of Southern Qi now, it will only cause various forces in Southern Qi to unite against them.
Taking over the capital of Southern Qi will require a considerable price.
It would be better to let Southern Qi fight first. By the time they finish fighting, they will be basically crippled. It would then be much easier to take over the capital of Southern Qi in one fell swoop, and we wouldn't have to pay too high a price.
This is in line with maximizing Qin Wu's interests.
In fact, Qin Wu had other plans; he wanted to take the opportunity to eliminate the clans of Southern Qi.
The six major clans of Dongqin are already troublesome enough. If a few more clans join, it will only make the clan groups even stronger, which is not the result Qin Wu wants.
