"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1179
The Hanhai Dynasty did not pay attention to the chaotic Far East, and naturally despised Chen Ziang, who rose in the troubled times.
However, the Tiger Legion, commanded by King Yu, was completely annihilated at Baima Pass. Only then did the Hanhai Dynasty's senior officials realize that the Qinghe Army, commanded by Chen Zi'ang, was not a soft persimmon that they could knead.
Those peace advocates in the royal city don't really want peace, they are just unsteady advocates of war.
They belonged to the group of people who wanted to take advantage but didn't want to lose, so when they saw that the front line was defeated, they immediately retreated.
Moreover, King Yu's situation is now in a precarious situation. Once King Yu on the front lines signs a peace agreement, King Yu will have no chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, and he will be nailed to the pillar of shame.
It is precisely because of this that those in the second prince's camp tried their best to promote peace talks in order to attack those in the crown prince's camp.
However, the people in the crown prince's camp are all staunch main fighters. If King Yu lost the battle on the front line, they must find their way back.
Moreover, the generals are also eager for war. Only war can allow them to gain military merit, accumulate prestige, and gain greater power and interests.
Generals in peaceful times are worthless, and they also have their own little thoughts, so they are determined to fight back and take revenge!
Facing the quarrel between the main war faction and the main peace faction, the old emperor was also inclined to the main war faction, otherwise he would not have acquiesced in the crown prince's decision and sent troops to the Far East.
Now that King Yu was defeated in the front line, the old emperor couldn't swallow it.
What kind of thing is this? They are a big country, but they are beaten at the door of their house.
If they don't make a strong response, wouldn't it make the Holy See and the Liberty Alliance laugh their heads off?
Therefore, they must make a strong response to the invasion of the Qinghe Army and make an attitude.
Dangru, the old emperor also realized that the fighting power of the Qinghe army was strong and not so easy to fight.
So he felt that he couldn't say it to death, and it would be even more embarrassing if he was defeated by the time.
Instead, it is necessary to send troops to fight back under the banner of protecting the people in Qingzhou. This is justified. Even if the Qinghe Army cannot be defeated, it should be possible to expel them.
"The Qinghe army is arrogant and is burning, killing and looting in our Qingzhou territory at this moment. For the sake of the common people and the dignity of my Hanhai, we must absolutely not sit idly by!"
The old emperor also expressed his attitude, that is, the Qinghe army cannot be allowed to rampage in Qingzhou to maintain the dignity of their vast sea.
After hearing the words of the old emperor, the main combat faction also became emotional, which clearly supported them.
Several high-level military officials of the Hanhai Dynasty also expressed their willingness to lead the army to fight against the Qinghe army in Qingzhou.
After thinking about it for a while, the old emperor felt that sending a generalissimo was too important, and if something went wrong, the loss would be too great.
"Chi Aiqing, why don't you lead the First Army of the Royal City Guard to defend the dignity of my vast sea!"
The old emperor finally decided to send his second commander Chi Lin to lead the First Army of the Royal City Guard to attack Qingzhou and face the Qinghe Army.
"The last general takes orders!"
The sub-commander Chi Lin can also be regarded as the hawk of the Hanhai Dynasty. He has always advocated leading expansion and is eager for war.
Now that I have the opportunity to lead an army alone, I am naturally very excited, and I want to show my skills and make more achievements.
After the generalissimo retires, he will be able to take advantage of the many sub-marshals and have the chance to be promoted to the generalissimo.
After the court meeting ended, the second-in-command Chi Lin immediately rushed to the barracks and began to prepare for the army's expedition.
When the army goes out to fight, there are a lot of affairs, and it takes a lot of time just to prepare the army's food and grass, and the mobilization and assembly of the army.
Fortunately, the First Army of the Royal City Guard is permanently stationed in the suburbs of the Royal City. It is one of the Royal City Guards, and it is fully staffed all year round.
In order to rush to the front line to face the Qinghe Army as soon as possible, Vice Marshal Chi Lin personally led the five cavalry teams under the First Garrison Corps to set off first the next day.
Now he can't wait to go to Qingzhou to make contributions, so he is too lazy to wait for the slow-moving infantry unit.
Moreover, Chi Lin, the sub-marshal, was also a cavalryman, so he was extremely good at cavalry combat.
The team led by sub-commander Chi LinA team of guard cavalry rushed to the territory of Qingzhou non-stop, crossing Fuchuan County along the way, rushing day and night, and soon arrived in Qingzhou.
When the army led by Vice Marshal Chi Lin arrived in Qingzhou, the Qinghe Army had already completed the looting of various prefectures and counties with great speed.
The various field banner regiments that were divided and plundered have gathered in the surrounding area of ??Lingqiu Mansion in Qingzhou one after another, showing a state of encircling the remnants of King Yu's troops in Lingqiu Mansion.
King Yu gathered the remnants of the Tiger Legion, Qingzhou local family armed forces, and the remnants of the Far East rebel army. More than 100,000 young and strong men were temporarily recruited to guard the front line of Lingqiu Mansion.
King Yu is no longer looking for meritorious service, he just wants to hold back the Qinghe army, and then hold on for help.
Previously, what King Yu thought was to deliberately lengthen the battle line, let the Qinghe army go to various places to plunder, anger the local people, and make the Qinghe army become street rats that everyone shouted and beat.
Who knew that the Qinghe army would not be fooled at all. The Qinghe army selectively looted wealthy families and government warehouses, but did nothing to the common people.
There were even a lot of food and other materials that the Qinghe army could not transport away, and they even openly distributed them to the people in Qingzhou, which won unanimous praise from the people.
Whether it is the people in the vast sea or the people in the Far East, their concept of the country is actually quite vague.
Therefore, no matter how the king's flag at the top of the city changes, they don't even care much about it. They are so numb that they only know how to pay taxes.
Now seeing that the Qinghe Army not only did not plunder them, but instead gave them food, the favorability of the Qinghe Army naturally increased.
The Northern Division under the Intelligence Investigation Institute of the Qinghe Army also took this opportunity to rapidly infiltrate and develop.
Those who were dissatisfied with the Hanhai Dynasty became their first choice for bribery. During the Qinghe Army's occupation of various places, the Qinghe Army's intelligence network also developed rapidly.
In some dangerous mountainous areas, the bandits entrenched in these places were encircled and suppressed by the Qinghe army.
However, these places have not been abandoned. Some small units of the Qinghe Army have stayed here, and they will become knives piercing into the territory of Qingzhou.
Now even if the main force of the Qinghe Army withdraws from the territory of Hanhai Qingzhou, it will be difficult for Qingzhou to return to its previous peaceful state.
In addition to infiltrating Qingzhou wantonly, the Qinghe army also piled up mountains of supplies they looted from various prefectures and counties.
On all the roads leading to Baima Pass in the Far East, there are mighty convoys full of property and food everywhere.
In recent years, the Hanhai Dynasty has not encountered the melee of various forces like the Far East, so Qingzhou is relatively prosperous.
Moreover, in order to attack the Far East and maintain the front-line military supplies, the Hanhai Dynasty also sent a large amount of supplies to Qingzhou some time ago.
However, the Hanhai army was defeated so quickly that all these things fell into the hands of the Qinghe army and became the spoils of the Qinghe army. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
