Qi Guangbo, who was dressed in military uniform and a scarlet cloak, stood in front of the map of Qingzhou propped up on a shelf, watching intently.
Behind him are the generals of the various battalions of the Yunzhou Army. Ji Xuan is wearing armor, with a sword in his waist and hips, sitting first on the left.
The generals looked relaxed. Although they remained silent, they were full of joy.
In just three days, nine counties on the border of Qingzhou were wiped out, and the first line of defense was completely defeated, giving the army a solid backing.
Qi Guangbo kept his eyes on the map, and said calmly: "Everyone is in a good mood, you have achieved a great victory, you might as well get drunk tonight"
All the generals were taken aback for a moment, they looked at each other silently, and no one complained.
Qi Guangbo ordered the lieutenants beside him, saying:
"Tell me about the situation in the city."
The lieutenant stood up, looked around at the generals at the table, and said in a deep voice:
"Before the Qingzhou garrison retreated, they burned the grain and grass in the granaries in various places in the city. At the same time, they burned a large number of quilts and cloth. In addition, the wealthy households, merchants, and wealthy families in the city have already withdrawn in advance. Now Baisha County , only hungry poor people and refugees.
"The same is true for the other nine counties."
"What?"
The generals were taken aback.
The deputy general continued:
"Prior to this, Qingzhou Chief Envoy Yamen has ordered to fortify the walls and clear the fields. The villages outside the city are empty, and there is less than a little food."
Qi Guangbo, who turned his back to everyone, said with emotion:
"What a Yang Gong, Ci doesn't command soldiers, I didn't expect him to be more ruthless to the people. Are you still in the mood to drink now?"
The generals were silent.
? They have laid down the Qingzhou border defense line and have a backcourt, but whether it is stable or not is hard to say.
Ji Xuan pondered and said:
"Yang Gong didn't intend to stick to the nine border counties from the beginning. He evacuated the rich households ahead of time, leaving only refugees and poor people. He planned to hand over this mess to us."
Qi Guangbo pointed to the map of Qingzhou, nodded and said:
"Qingzhou is thousands of miles across, and there is plenty of room for him to move around. Why should he stick to the border? Now that the imperial reinforcements have not arrived, he chooses to entangle us instead of fighting to the death. It is the right thing to do.
"This tactic uses the same way as the person to treat the person's body. It's a wonderful use."
? When sieging a city and pulling out a stronghold, one wished that the opponent's situation would be as bad as possible.
But once the city is occupied, what the rebels have to do is to maintain stability. If there are riots in these places, it will be delayed.
Of course, if the purpose is only to plunder, these can be ignored, and the worst is to kill all the people.
This situation only applies to foreign invasions. The Yunzhou rebels want to gather the hearts of the people and occupy the righteousness, so it is not easy to do so.
"He wants to use poor people and refugees to wear us down. Well, it just so happens that the militiamen in the siege have lost all their lives and injuries. These are excellent sources of soldiers."
A general said.
? Any strategy has two sides.
Ji Xuan glanced at him and said:
"Yang Gong insisted on clearing the land, burning food and grass, and not leaving us a grain of rice. The pressure on our side will be multiplied. This is cutting our flesh with a blunt knife and slowly consuming our foundation. Of course, we don't have to be afraid. "
Yang Gong's purpose is obvious, to weaken the strength of the rebel army as much as possible in Qingzhou.
The generals present here are all smart people with rich experience, so it is not difficult to figure out this problem.
Qi Guangbo said indifferently: "The National Teacher has prepared for many years and has a profound foundation. How can the little Qingzhou consume it? Just use this to promote the reputation of our volunteer teachers."
The generals looked at each other and smiled.
Qi Guangbo said: "It's time for the monks and soldiers from the Western Regions to appear. I have sent someone to ask the national teacher for instructions."
Qingzhou chief envoy.
In the backyard, the round table in the hall was filled with delicacies. Lina and Xu Lingyin ate and drank on the table.
The faces of the master and the apprentice are the same, bulging into buns.
"I eat fish and bacon every day, and I have to squat for a long time to go to the toilet." Lina said vulgar words without any psychological burden, even though she had exquisite facial features.
There is a lack of fresh fruits and vegetables on board.
"Master, I can shit." Xu Lingyin announced loudly, saying that she was better than Master.
"Shall we save some for Brother Erlang?"
Lina said so, but the speed of swallowing food became faster.
On the way to Qingzhou by boat, Zhang Shen, Xu Erlang's mentor, and Li Mup; The reason why he uses "regular" battles is because there are super-large battles in this world, such as the Battle of Shanhaiguan.
In the kind of war that swept across the major forces in Kyushu, it was difficult for an extraordinary power to turn the tide of the battle. It was not that the extraordinary was not strong enough, but that there were too many extraordinary masters entering the field, so it was not unusual.
Of course, it's another matter if it's a super-grade or a first-grade martial artist.
Li Mubai asked suddenly: "Who is the enemy commander?"
Yang Gong said: "My surname is Qi, my name is Guangbo, an unknown man."
Zhang Shen raised his eyebrows: "An unknown person leads the three armies?"
Yang Gong said slowly: "No name does not mean no talent. On the contrary, this person is extremely powerful. He sent troops to drive away the refugees, and then let the masters mix among the refugees to paralyze the defenders, and easily approached the city wall. Huangling County in the border is I was caught off guard like this, and I was broken into the city after only persisting for a day."
Zhang Shen sneered and said: "The generals guarding the city are merciless and let the refugees approach, they should be punished!"
Zhou Mi, commander of Qingzhou Metropolis, sighed, "I have already died in the line of duty."
Li Mubai said: "That is to say, I don't know whether this coach is in the Transcendent Realm."
Yang Gong gave a "hmm":
"Except for the Jia Luoshu Bodhisattva and Xu Pingfeng who are in charge of restraining the supervisor, there is no Transcendent Realm in the rebel army for the time being. However, it is most likely that they are hiding and did not show up."
As a Confucian master of the fourth grade and a great Confucian whose literary name is well-known in the Central Plains, Yang Gong has no obvious defects or shortcomings in terms of talent and character.
The situation of arrogance and underestimation of the enemy will not appear on him.
"The imperial court also has no shortage of extraordinary masters." Xu Xinian said.
At this moment, the first thing that flashed in the minds of all the officials was not Sun Xuanji of the Sitian Supervisor, but Xu Qi'an whose reputation was like burning oil.
"The third point is reinforcements!"
Xu New Year's face is solemn: "What I mean is reinforcements from both sides. The Buddhist sect and the Yunzhou rebellious party have colluded, so the troops from the Western Regions will invade the border sooner or later."
"Once the imperial court is forced to fight on two fronts, the reinforcements and military supplies that Qingzhou can receive will be greatly reduced. On the other hand, the rebels in Yunzhou will be even more powerful. This is also related to the second point of combat power."
The atmosphere in the meeting hall was solemn, and everyone frowned secretly, with worry hidden in their eyes.
The rebels in Yunzhou are coming fiercely, and refugees from all over the Central Plains are flooded. It is difficult for Qingzhou to stop the rebels.
Now facing the invasion of the countries of the Western Regions, the court must not be able to take Qingzhou into consideration under the two-front battle, because the power of Buddhism is well known.
There may even be a situation where Qingzhou is still holding on and fighting hard, and the troops from the Western Regions have reached the capital.
"It would be great if the armies of the countries in the Western Regions could not dare to invade the border." The prefect of Qingzhou said with emotion.
Idiots talk about dreams As a military commander, Commander Zhou sneered in his heart. If Duke Wei is alive, maybe the Buddhist sect will be afraid and dare not start a war rashly.
Now that Dafeng is enshrined, who can make Buddhism afraid?
Even if it is Jianzheng Buddhism, it is not afraid, because this behemoth that dominates the Western Regions has no shortage of top masters.
However, there are only a handful of handsome talents in the world like Wei Yuan.
"This is a dead end!"
Li Mubai, who is good at chess, slowly shook his head: "It is impossible for us to contain the Buddhist sect, and it is inevitable for the Buddhist sect to advance eastward."
Yang Gong let out a breath slowly: "Therefore, what I have to do is risk my life and try to kill the elite of the rebel army as much as possible. Let the rest of the matter be handled by the gentlemen."
Really helpless.
"As soon as Wei Gong died, the rebellious party in Yunzhou rebelled. The Buddhist sects in the Western Regions deceived me and no one in the Central Plains, tore up the covenant, and turned against each other. But there is nothing we can do" The prefect of Qingzhou was heartbroken.
Xu Nian is silent, the Buddhism in the Western Regions is strong, there are many soldiers, and there is an Arhat Bodhisattva sitting in Alando. Such a huge monster cannot be controlled by conspiracy.
At this time, he suddenly saw two more people in the corner of the meeting room, one of them was wearing white clothes, and his appearance, temperament, and height were ordinary. Another person, Lei Gongzui, has ugly monkey-like facial features, and his blue and clear eyes seem to be able to read people's hearts.
"Senior Brother Sun, why are you here?"
Xu New Year was taken aback.
He knew the second disciple of the supervisor.
When did he come Yang Gong and the others were stunned, and they looked sideways and turned their heads.
Guardian Yuan glanced at the crowd, and then said:
"Their hearts told me: who is this? Why is he here? Sun Xuanji? Isn't there a normal disciple in the prison?"
After Yuan Hufa finished speaking, he was taken aback. He quickly separated the relationship, pointed to Xu Xinian and said:
"The last sentence was said by him."
Xu New Year: "!!!"
