Chapter 528 Don’t I Know You Yet?
"On one side is the Northern Wei army, which also has 50,000 troops and is camped outside Qingshan City."
"There are 20,000 people in Qingshan City, led by General Xiao. Their main task is to intercept the Northern Wei army outside Qingshan City. Our task is to capture Liangcheng as soon as possible, and then cooperate with General Xiao to drive the Northern Wei out of Liuli."
Qin Junyu had already told Chen Qijin about the main personnel arrangements and their respective tasks in advance. Chen Qijin could be said to be the person who knew this mission best besides him.
After listening to this, the six deputy generals roughly understood and had a rough idea in their minds.
Qin Junyu continued: "We are in the same camp as General Xiao. He will help us buy as much time as possible, but in order to minimize casualties, we need to fight quickly and decisively."
"The problem now is that Qingshan City is blocked inside and outside. We must find a way to get in and get in touch with General Xiao."
Deputy General Zhang had a question: "Does the Northern Wei know that there are 20,000 people in the city?"
As expected of someone with many years of experience in the military, he got to the point right away.
"I don't know." Chen Qijin answered him.
Deputy General Zhang: "This means that when we send people to sneak into the city, we must get the guards to agree to let them in, and we must not arouse the suspicion of the Northern Wei. Otherwise, they will be alert and it will be difficult to deal with them."
Twenty thousand men against fifty thousand men, they are not at a numerical advantage. In the first battle they should be caught by surprise, and their military strength should be weakened as much as possible, thus gaining an advantage in the subsequent battles.
Qin Junyu did not comment. The question was how to go and who to send.
Seven people each offered an opinion, but none of them was adopted, and the room fell silent.
Just as the stalemate was going on, a man suddenly broke in—Nian Susu.
Eight people looked at her at the same time. She smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, I was looking for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and happened to hear your conversation outside."
She said she didn't mean it, would they believe her?
Two lieutenants who disliked Nian Susu were about to start reprimanding him, but Qin Junyu spoke first. He was not angry at all, and his tone was even gentle, like coaxing a child: "Go to the nearby tent and wait. I'll come find you after the discussion."
The tent next to the main tent was his residence. He allowed a girl to come in and out of his residence freely. The deputy generals didn't know whether to say that he was too careless or that he had no defense against Nian Susu at all.
Nian Susu didn't move, his eyes rolled around, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Qin Junyu clenched his fists and said, "Is your matter important?"
After asking, his legs had already started to walk out.
The seven lieutenants were dumbfounded. What could be more important to her than the current war? Did His Royal Highness just abandon them to coax her?
Seeing that he was about to walk towards her, Nian Susu quickly shook her head, "No! I don't have anything important to do."
Qin Junyu stopped and looked at her in confusion. Since there was nothing wrong, why was she hesitating?
She exhaled, "I just heard you discussing how to enter Qingshan City without arousing the suspicion of the Northern Wei people. I have a plan."
Qin Junyu frowned and rejected the proposal without even thinking: "No, I don't agree."
Seven lieutenants: Did I miss any information?
Nian Susu was equally shocked, "I haven't told you what the method is yet!"
"I know what you're going to say."
Qin Junyu didn't give her any room for negotiation. He grabbed her hand and quickly walked out of the main tent.
"let me go!"
"open!"
"Qin Junyu!"
Nian Susu was a little angry and struggled to break free from his hand. "At least listen to me first before you deny me. I haven't even said anything yet. This is disrespectful!"
Qin Junyu was so angry that he almost exploded. He didn't care about anything else. He put his hands on his waist and said, "Don't I know you well? Are you going to say you're going?"
Nian Susu felt as if he had been exposed, and his aura instantly disappeared. He smiled and said, "Yes, I am the most suitable candidate."
"Think about it, I'm a woman, a weak woman who can't even tie a chicken, who would suspect me?" She blinked her eyes, trying to convince Qin Junyu.
Qin Junyu said firmly: "It's too dangerous. If I say no, it means no. From today on, you are not allowed to leave my sight. I can only feel at ease if I can protect you within a safe distance."
Seeing that he wouldn't take his soft approach, Nian Susu had no choice but to use force. She imitated him and put her hands on her hips: "Then tell me, do you have a solution?"
"If I go, I just need to find a way to meet General Xiao. I don't need to prove my identity. If you send other people, General Xiao may not trust them."
Qin Junyu was speechless, what she said did make sense.
But he didn't want her to take risks, and he didn't want to be separated from her during the chaos of war. No one could tell what would happen during a war. What if General Xiao failed to defend Qingshan City? What if he failed to capture Liangcheng... There were too many potential dangers.
Nian Susu took his hand and held it gently, giving him strength, with a sincere look in her eyes, "Trust me, okay?"

The weather in late August was gradually getting cooler. The guards at the gate rubbed their cold palms and prepared to change shifts to have breakfast. At this time, three figures were seen walking towards the city gate not far away.
There were ten knife-wielding guards at the gate alone, and about twenty men with bows and arrows in a row on the city wall. The eyes of more than thirty people were focused on those three men.
As they got closer, they could see clearly that there were three thin girls. The one in the middle was taller, and the ones holding her arms on both sides were slightly smaller. The three of them were almost hugging each other, moving forward at a snail's pace, and finally reached the city gate, where they were stopped by the guards.
The guard became alert and looked the three men up and down.
Their clothes were torn and old, and their arms and legs were wrapped in bloody bandages that had not been changed in who knows how long. The white bandages had turned yellow and black, making them look like beggars.
Although they were dressed in rags, their faces were beautiful. Even though they were dirty, it was not difficult to see their beauty covered by dust.
The guard was so fascinated that he realized what he was doing and frowned, "What are you three doing? Qingshan City has long been closed to entry and exit. Go somewhere else!"
He drove them away without saying a word.
Nian Susu swallowed his saliva, looked at the guard with a flattering look, and begged, "Brother, please, we are escaping from Jinzhao City. We have been walking for a long time before we finally saw a city. Can you give us some water to drink?"
Xiao Ning said timidly: "We haven't eaten for four or five days."
Xiao Zhi also looked at him pitifully: "Brother, please be kind and give us something to eat!"
Shouzi frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Jinzhao City? Did you run away from Jinzhao City?"
The three of them nodded, and their clear eyes didn't seem to be lying.
Jinzhao City had been occupied by the Northern Wei people. No wonder the three of them looked like refugees. It turned out they were really fleeing here.
