    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 587

    "Everyone, the thieves are approaching aggressively, how should we deal with it?"

    In the capital of Xitian Prefecture, senior military and political officials gathered urgently to discuss countermeasures.

    The Qinghe Army approached Xitian Mansion like a broken bamboo all the way, threatening their important grain storage area, so they couldn't help being anxious.

    An official suggested: "The bandit cavalry come and go like the wind. We are definitely not rivals. I suggest sticking to it and waiting for help."

    "General Li Hong has personally led tens of thousands of troops back to aid. As long as our army can last half a month, the bandit army will retreat." An official also echoed.

    "But the rebel army is sharp. Our army has not been in battle for a long time, so I'm afraid we won't be able to defend it." Someone was full of worry.

    The reason why the Qinghe Army was able to sweep across the prefectures and counties of Jiangnan Province in a short period of time was not only the strength of the Qinghe Army, but also the unbearable power of the Dynasty Army in the province.

    "The thieves are powerful, why don't we avoid their edge and evacuate proactively?" said a garrison general.

    "It's easy to say, we can evacuate, but what about the grain in the granary?"

    "Anyway, it can't fall into the hands of the thieves. Before we evacuate, we will burn all of them, and we can't leave a grain of food to the thieves." Someone said viciously.

    "His Royal Highness is now fighting the rebel army. Most of the food in the army is dispatched from our Jiangnan province. If we burn the food stored in Xitian Mansion, His Royal Highness will blame you. I am afraid that your head and mine will fall to the ground."  An official snorted coldly.

    "Then what should we do? You can't give up the food to the bandits?" Someone asked back.

    "So we can't retreat, we can only fight the bandits."

    "But we don't have a general to command the army, and we are short of troops now, so we are no match for the bandit army."

    "Even if we can't fight, we have to fight. We have no choice."

    "You want to die, but I don't want to stay here to be buried with you."

    "What are you talking about, you are also a person who receives the imperial salary, how can you be timid before fighting."

    "You are not afraid, why did you send away your wife, children and concubines overnight?" Someone retorted.

    Although the military and government officials of Xitian Mansion gathered together to discuss countermeasures, they had various conflicts on weekdays, so their words were full of gunpowder.

    "My lords, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

    When everyone failed to discuss a feasible countermeasure, but instead blamed and complained to each other, a young official stood up.

    Logically speaking, this young official is not qualified to participate in this high-level military and political meeting.

    However, his family is a first-class family in Jiangnan Province, with great influence, and this time he followed his uncle to gain knowledge.

    "But it's okay to say."

    Although the admiral of the Xitian Mansion was a little unhappy, but in view of the family behind the young official, he suppressed his dissatisfaction, sat back in his chair, and looked at the young man.

    "My lords, the next official will be overstepped."

    After the young official bowed his hands to the crowd, he immediately began to speak of his own suggestions.

    "The thieves are sharp and sharp. If we are head-to-head, we will definitely not be their opponents."

    "We might as well take the retreat as our advance, voluntarily give up Xitian Mansion, and give Xitian Mansion to the bandits."

    After hearing what the young official said, all the military and political officials in the room were in an uproar.

    "Hmph, I think you are talking nonsense, how can we easily give up Xitian Mansion to ourselves!"

    "My lord, don't be impatient, let me finish my speech."

    Facing everyone's glaring gazes, the young official was calm and calm, without the slightest discomfort.

    "The evacuation I'm talking about is not really evacuation."

    "The garrison battalion and militia troops withdrew from Xitian Mansion, but the private soldiers of each family can stay in the city and hide."

    "When the thief army captures Xitian Mansion, they must relax their vigilance."

    "At that time, we will cooperate with the outside and kill a carbine at night. We are familiar with the Xitian Mansion, but the bandit army is not. If we are not prepared, we will definitely be wiped out."

    "At that time, we will not only be able to defend the Xitian Mansion, but also get the power to wipe out the thieves. What do you think?"

    After hearing what the young official said, all the military and political officials bowed their heads and started discussing.

    "Although this method is a bit risky, onceSuccess, but it can receive miraculous effects.  "The admiral of Xitian Mansion commented.

    "Do you have a better way?"

    After listening to the young official's words, the admiral of Xitian Mansion turned his attention to everyone.

    Now all the military and government officials of Xitian Mansion have been frightened by the strength of the Qinghe Army.

    They are now secretly transferring their property, wives and children, ready to run away with oil on their feet at any time, without even bothering to think of a way.

    "Since there is no better way, let's do as he said. All the troops will withdraw from Xitian Mansion pretending to be defeated, and send a group of elite soldiers to ambush in the city. At that time, the inside should cooperate with the outside to surround and kill the bandit army."

    "My lord admiral, I'm not a good official, so I'm willing to lead my people to stay in the city."

    Seeing that no one was willing to stay in the city as an answer, the young official who made the suggestion also volunteered.

    "Okay, very good, it's no loss that you are a member of the Liu family. When you wipe yourself out, I will definitely ask the governor for your credit." The admiral of Xitian Mansion was very happy.

    "Thank you, Admiral."

    Under the suggestion of this young official, the garrison of Xitian Mansion decided to avoid the edge of the Qinghe Army and not confront the Qinghe Army head-on.

    They gave way to Xitian Mansion, and were going to kill the carbine when the Qinghe army relaxed their vigilance.

    By then, they will not only be able to annihilate the Qinghe Army, but also be able to defend the Xitian Mansion, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

    Under the dispatch of the admiral of Xitian Mansion, the troops guarding Xitian Mansion withdrew from Xitian Mansion one after another and hid in the suburbs.

    At the same time, the young official who made the suggestion personally led more than 3,000 private soldiers assembled from various families, and decided to hide in the city and cooperate with the inside and outside at that time.

    If this plan is successful, Tian Changjie, the deputy head of the Qinghe Army who led the attack on Xitian Mansion, may suffer a big loss.

    But before the Qinghe Army troops attacked Xitian Mansion, the young official who made the suggestion had already sent his confidants to the Qinghe Army.

    "I also ask the general to send someone to take over Xitian Mansion as soon as possible. We have already transferred the garrison from Xitian Mansion."

    The confidant of the young official found Tian Changjie, told the whole plan, and asked Tian Changjie and the others to quickly send someone to take over Xitian Mansion.

    "Why did you do this?"

    Hearing that the Liu family had deceived the officials of Xitian Mansion, big and small, and voluntarily donating Xitian Mansion, Tian Changjie, the deputy head of the Banner, was also full of doubts.

    "The Far Eastern Dynasty has become extremely decayed. Our young master does not want to be buried with him, but is willing to use all his wealth to support the Qinghe Army."

    "Now the granary outside the city of Xitian Prefecture is also guarded by members of our Liu family. Please also send someone to take over as soon as possible, otherwise there will be changes."

    In this era of war and chaos, in order to survive, many wealthy and powerful families, in addition to supporting the imperial court to suppress the rebel army, there are also some who have a clear view of the situation, and they are starting to leave a way out for themselves.

    Now that the Qinghe army swept across the Jiangnan province, the Liu family also realized that the southern army and the court were unreliable.

    So after going through the family's secret discussion, they decided to take the initiative to join the Qinghe Army and put their bets on the Qinghe Army.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
