Liangzhou, Hanyang County.
This is the location bordering the Sili area.
Nowadays, there is a large army stationed in Long County, Hanyang County.
The army led by Cao Xuan himself is here.
The east side of Long County is close to Longguan, which is the gateway to the east of Liangzhou. At the same time, it is also the place to enter the Sili area in Guanzhong. As long as you pass Longguan and enter the Sili area, it will be smooth sailing.
Cao Xuan was stationed in Long County just to pass through Long Pass.
It¡¯s just that Cao Xuan is still stationed outside the county for the time being, and the army has not acted rashly.
Cao Xuan, still waiting for news.
Inside the Chinese army¡¯s tent.
Cao Xuan was reading a book. There was already a charcoal pot burning beside him to dispel the cold. After all, it has entered November, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it has begun to snow in some of the mountains here in Long County.
"Whoop!!"
The curtain of the camp tent was raised, and it was Cheng Lin who entered.
After standing still, he bowed to Cao Xuan and said, "Your Majesty, we have waited until November, and up to now, there is no news of the Haixi Empire's attack. Should we attack Wang Qi on our own regardless of the Haixi Empire?"
The cold weather is extremely detrimental to marching and fighting. This is Cheng Lin's worry.
Cao Xuan said slowly: "Mr. Cheng, although we have rifles as weapons, in fact, it is not possible to have an unlimited supply for the time being. Wang Qi has a large army and has strategic depth. If we really attack by force, we may not be able to succeed. If someone can contain Wang Qi for us, especially if the Hercynian Empire sends troops, it will be easy for us to win this battle. So now, it is naturally cost-effective to wait. Delaying time will not benefit us. One harm.¡±
Cheng Lin said nothing. After a while, he said, "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
Cao Xuan said: "Mr. Cheng, do you have anything to say?"
Cheng Lin said: "Your Majesty, I am actually worried that if the time is delayed a little longer, then Wang Qi's governance will become more stable. Wang Qi became emperor last year, and now it is another year. Year after year , Wang Qi's foundation will become more and more stable. Especially this year, it is said that the entire Qi State had a great harvest of food, and the people all submitted to Wang Qi. In addition, Wang Qi opened a branch to recruit scholars, which made countless people submit. Under such circumstances, people's hearts Unity, it is getting more and more difficult to defeat Wang Qi.¡±
Cao Xuan also fell silent immediately.
The state of Wei is developing.
Qi State is also developing.
Even the Wei State is located in a corner, while the Qi State occupies the entire world and is huge. Under this premise, Qi's development will be different every additional year.
This is the disparity in strength between the two sides.
Cao Xuan took a deep breath and said: "Mr. Cheng, there is nothing we can do about this. Compared with attacking Wang Qi now, at least when the Haixi Empire attacks, we have a better chance of winning. Besides, in my opinion, we just have to wait a little longer. One or two months. If we wait until the beginning of next spring before the Hercynian Empire arrives to attack, it would actually be more suitable for us."
Cheng Lin stroked the beard under his chin, nodded and said: "What your Majesty said is true, and I know it, but now the army is stationed here, and many civilians have been recruited. The consumption of the entire army, as well as the food of the civilians, etc., It consumes a lot of money. Especially as the weather gets colder, the pressure on us is increasing."
Cao Xuandao: "Go ahead, as long as you survive until you attack Qi, everything will be worth it."
At this time, another soldier entered and reported: "Your Majesty, Governor Jiang wants to see you."
"pass!"
Cao Xuan gave an order.
The soldier turned around to inform, and soon after, Jiang Jiuge entered the camp. He looked very serious and said: "Your Majesty, the sentinels stationed by Heilongtai in Qi have returned news from Yangzhou."
Cao Xuan noticed Jiang Jiuge¡¯s expression and said, ¡°Could it be that the Haixi Empire was defeated?¡±
"yes!"
Jiang Jiuge nodded in reply.
He also felt bitter in his heart, because the Haixi Empire was indeed defeated, Wang Qi was extremely stable, and his chance of revenge was gone.
Cao Xuandao: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
The Hercynian Empire is powerful and tyrannical.
Wang Qi¡¯s Qi State has admittedly many great masters and numerous masters at the master level, but the problem is that in front of guns and cannons, great masters have to suffer, so Cao Xuan even felt unbelievable in his heart.
Jiang Jiuge said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Qi State has cannons and other weapons. As soon as the people from the Hercynian Empire arrived in Yangzhou and landed, Qi State responded quickly, laid an ambush, and directly attacked allDestroy all the Hercynian Empire armies. All the battleships of the Hercynian Empire were captured. All the soldiers of the Hercynian Empire were also reduced to prisoners. The state of Qi is still as motionless as a mountain. "
brush!
Cao Xuan's expression suddenly changed.
There was an expression of disbelief on his face.
Qi State actually has cannons and other weapons.
How can it be?
"If Qi had cannons, why didn't they take them out earlier?" If Wang Qi had taken it out earlier to attack Chu State, or even attack other places, he would have been invincible and could not have been blocked by any means.
But now, Qi has just taken it out.
Cao Xuan took deep breaths and took notes before calming down. He thought quickly, and after a long time, he said: "Qi State also has such weapons, which means that Qi State may have already been in contact with the Hercynian Empire. merchant."
He is the only possibility that Cao Xuan can think of.
He didn¡¯t think Wang Qi could develop it himself, because there was no such possibility in the entire territory of the former Great Zhou Dynasty.
Cheng Lin also thought about it, and he echoed: "Your Majesty, if you think about it carefully now, it is very likely that Wang Qi's sweet potatoes, potatoes and other crops came from the Hercynian Empire."
"Then, he has long been in contact with the merchants of the Haixi Empire. It's just that he only recently purchased weapons. It's just that these weapons have cannons."
"From this point of view, Qi's overall strength is stronger than ours. We have weapons, and the other side also has weapons. Then the situation will be difficult. After all, regardless of weapons, Qi's strength is already stronger than ours. .¡±
Cao Xuan waved his hand and said: "Mr. Cheng, the issue we are considering now is not who is strong or who is weak, but how we should respond at the moment. Whether to attack directly or withdraw our troops and return to Weiwu County."
Cheng Lin stroked her beard under her chin, thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I do not recommend starting a war."
Cao Xuandao: "Why?"
Cheng Lin said: "We have rifles, but Qi State already has cannons. Iwell has already mentioned the situation of the cannons before. But this time, Jiang Jiuge's sentry should have found out. Qi State's weapons, Stronger than us. Once we attack, our advantages will be suppressed at every turn."
Cao Xuan was unhappy.
Cao Xuan was even more unhappy when he thought that he didn't have cannons, but Qi already had cannons, and Aiweier couldn't do it. He quietly led his troops to Long County, just to attack Wang Qi secretly and catch Wang Qi's Qi State off guard.
But again, it was all in vain.
Cao Xuan felt so uncomfortable.
Cheng Lin continued: "Your Majesty, we are constantly expanding in the Western Region. Our strength is also increasing rapidly. So now we can only try our best to go to the Western Region."
Cao Xuan was even more upset.
He was so unwilling.
If he withdraws his troops now, he will never catch up with Wang Qi for the rest of his life. After all, Qi State is larger. Now that Qi State is developing first, it is even more ahead.
Cheng Lin comforted and said: "Your Majesty, the strength of the Hercynian Empire is definitely stronger than that of Qi. If the Hercynian Empire's army is defeated and destroyed, then the next step, the Hercynian Empire will definitely be angry and even take revenge. So at the moment, we can only Evacuate first. Let¡¯s endure it first and wait for the Hercynian Empire¡¯s army to come, and then send out troops.¡±
Cao Xuan sighed and said: "That's all, this is the only way, there is no other way. Cheng Gong, you make the arrangements, pass the order, our army is ready to evacuate quietly."
"I obey the order!"
Chen Lin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Cao Xuan doesn't act impulsively, Wei will still have a chance.
Cao Xuan waved his hand, Cheng Lin and Jiang Jiuge both stood up and agreed, leaving Cao Xuan sitting alone in the tent. He sat with a look of frustration on his face, because from the very beginning of his confrontation with Wang Qi, he was defeated again and again, while Cao Xuan reorganized his army again and again and mustered up his spirit to fight. But now, he still gave in again.
After Cao Xuan pondered for a long time, the decadence in his eyes gradually disappeared and he regained his composure.
In his eyes, fighting spirit gradually returned.
He, Cao Xuan, refused to admit defeat.
He, Cao Xuan, will fight to the end. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
