~.< >-~ Chapter 718 of Qi Control Millennium Returns to the Dynasty
Early in the morning. ,, com¨[The remnants of the Northern Qi Dynasty began to retreat, leaving behind a large amount of luggage and supplies.
This action of Northern Qi was beyond my expectation, because they have more remaining troops than we do, and it is unreasonable to retreat at this time. Because of my doubts, I did not order the troops to pursue them. It was not until the remnants of the Northern Qi Dynasty retreated a hundred miles away that I became convinced that the opponent's retreat was not a trick to lure the enemy. The strange beasts still remain, but once the war breaks out, these soldiers of Northern Qi will not be left.
"Bury the bodies with the Lu people, and clean up and organize all the materials left by the enemy." I rushed to give the order solemnly. The corpses left by both sides on the battlefield pile up like mountains and must be buried, otherwise it will easily cause plague when spring arrives.
"Yes." He solemnly accepted the order and left.
The war at the border has come to an end. I left behind all the Taoists and the giant beasts of the Yellow tribe, and then returned to Chang'an with Xu Shuangyi. After returning to Chang'an, Yang Zhong immediately called everyone for a meeting.
The participants included Lin Yicheng, King Kong Pao, Xu Shuangyi, Wu Qingzhu, two self-made earth immortals and several generals under Yang Zhong. Everyone's expressions were ugly, except for King Kong Cannon, who had been training modern troops but had not received any news.
"What's going on, everyone is crying and sad." King Kong Cannon sat next to me and spoke in confusion.
Hearing this, everyone smiled bitterly and shook their heads, but no one opened their mouth to answer his question.
"I spent 600,000 to kill Northern Qi's 900,000 troops." I said seriously.
"Spell it out? What do you mean?" King Kong Cannon couldn't react for a moment.
"They're all dead." I shook my head and said.
"Holy shit, you're more ruthless than a **." King Kong Cannon said in shock. Although Mao Zedong is a traitor to the country, no one can deny his military talent. When he attacked Tashan in Jinzhou, he once said, "I don't want casualties, I just want Tashan." ¡¯ It shows the ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness of this person and the hard-heartedness of a marshal.
"Sir, this matter is of great importance. You should discuss it with us that day before making a decision. Now there are no soldiers and horses. If the enemy invades, how will we deal with it?" Yang Zhong looked restless. He would naturally panic when there were no soldiers in the court.
"If Chen Qian dares to take advantage of the opportunity to attack, I will kill him immediately. The Northern Qi soldiers and horses suffered more casualties than our army, so there is no need to worry. Besides, our army still has 200,000 soldiers. The marshal does not need to worry about the security of the country." I He waved his hand and said. From the moment I stood by and watched as I exchanged the lives of 300,000 soldiers for 30% of my own spiritual energy, I knew that I would be held accountable when I came back. Even so, I am not in the mood to be judged. What I do naturally has its own reasons. If you don¡¯t understand, you don¡¯t have to say anything, but you can¡¯t say nonsense. Yang Zhong's words meant blaming, so my words were not polite.
"Now that the deal is done, Marshal, don't worry too much. You must have a perfect plan to protect our safety." Lin Yicheng saw my gloomy face and hurriedly spoke to reconcile.
"The prime minister's words are reasonable. After weighing the two ministers, our army is still a complete victory. From now on, we will still have to rely on the real person to make decisions." Yang Zhong nodded and said. His previous words meant to blame me. He was afraid that I would be unhappy, so he said these words. In fact, this was not a complete victory. This was a truly tragic victory.
"The two hundred thousand heavy-armed soldiers were replaced with crossbows. The archers stayed behind to guard the imperial city, while the crossbowmen rushed to the border to consolidate the border defense." I said seriously. It was no longer possible for Northern Qi to organize a major invasion, and the crossbowmen were enough to deal with emergencies.
"We will start within three months." Yang Zhong nodded and said. At this time, his face looked much better. The reason why he looked so good was because I left 100,000 archers to him.
I don't like the relationship with the imperial court very much, and I don't like commanding large-scale battles, because I am neither a civil official nor a military general, I am just an immortal. I have never been an official or led a soldier before, so I am asked to do the work for you. I'm not happy about those things. Fortunately, Yang Zhong knew that no matter what I did, it was all for his son, and there was no essential misunderstanding or estrangement between the two parties.
"Let's set out one after another before the New Year's Day. There is no need to carry the food and grass needed for future garrisoning." I said. At this time, the Spring Festival is not yet the Spring Festival, it is called Sui Dynasty.
Yang Zhong nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
Then everyone discussed how to set up defenses. After the business was over, Yang Zhong took out his son. Compared with ordinary children, Yang Jian seemed quieter. Whenever he cried, he had to eat and defecate. Yang Zhong loved his son very much, and we I also like this future emperor very much. Yang Zhong had two motives for holding out his son for everyone to see. One was to gather the centripetal force of everyone. The second is to indirectly tell us that this world will belong to their Yang family in the future.
In fact, there is no need for him to remind you secretly, as long as ErlongI will leave here when the war in this position is over. I am just a passer-by here. Helping the Golden Dragon is just a means for me to return to modern times.
After the dinner, I called everyone to hold a small meeting in Wu Qingzhu's room to analyze the current situation and arrange the next action. No mortals attended this meeting except Lin Yicheng and Xu Shuangyi.
Lin Yicheng believes that the Northern Qi Dynasty suffered a huge defeat and will not take any action in a short period of time, at least not an honest military action. During this period of time, what we have to do is to prevent the other party from secretly playing tricks.
Lin Yicheng¡¯s analysis is undoubtedly correct, but passive defense is not my style. King Kong Cannon sneered at this. His idea was to go to the capital of Northern Qi and kill the newborn baby of the guardian dragon.
Previously, I was not sure whether the Protector Heavenly Dragon was born in this world or possessed. It was not until I discovered the Double Dragon Yingxing a few days ago that I was sure that it was also born in this world, which means that it is also a baby now.
"You can't kill it. Killing it is against the will of heaven." I shook my head and said.
"If the sky is closed, what will be the way of heaven?" King Kong Cannon curled his lips and said.
"If he could kill him, Ye Aofeng would have come here to kill Yang Jian long ago. Why would he wait until now?" I shook my head helplessly and explained.
"If you can't kill him, just kill all their officials and leave them leaderless." The Vajra Cannon retreated and settled for the next best thing.
"You are afraid that the world will not be in chaos." I frowned and said. The idea of ??a diamond cannon will definitely not work, because if we do this, the other side will do the same, and without the officials of the two countries, the world will be in chaos. People all have bad natures, and there will definitely be rogues everywhere and bandits will be rampant.
"Then don't kill the officials, but the monks. I've prepared a handy guy for you. Let's go kill him and leave nothing behind." The King Kong Cannon chuckled mischievously.
¡°We¡¯ll talk about this later.¡± I shook my head and said.
"What are you waiting for? It's not illegal to kill a monk, right?" The Vajra Cannon refused to give up. The stupidity of the Diamond Cannon and my helpless expression towards the Diamond Cannon made Xu Shuangyi and Wu Qingzhu smile and be puzzled. They didn't understand why the Diamond Cannon was so ignorant, and they didn't understand why I was so indulgent with the Diamond Cannon.
"I once promised Zen Master ** to show mercy to their Buddhist disciples." I had no choice but to tell the truth.
"I just heard what Mr. Lin said. You even sealed a thousand households for the archers who killed the monks. Stop being pretentious. I think it's okay to leave a seed behind. Let's go, I'll show you the guy. Go." King Kong Pao stood up from the chair and came to pull me.
"I will definitely not show mercy when we meet on the battlefield. Don't hold me back. We'll talk about it later." I waved my hand and broke away from the pull of the Vajra Cannon.
"I think Lao Niu's method is very good." Lin Yicheng supported the Diamond Cannon for the first time.
"Look, look, Zhuge Liang said I have a solution, what are you waiting for?" The Diamond Cannon pointed at Lin Yicheng.
"Old Niu, please stop teasing me." Lin Yicheng looked ashamed. Lin Yicheng has been blaming himself since he rashly went south and lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
"Mr. Lin, tell me what you think." I turned to look at Lin Yicheng.
"Chief Yu, I think Lao Niu's method is feasible." Lin Yicheng pondered for a moment and said.
"Oh? Go on." I nodded and said.
"Northern Qi's military strength is not as good as ours. After you received the battle report from the front, I made a rough calculation. We can still mobilize close to 300,000 troops, while Northern Qi only has 100,000 left. We are better than them. There are two hundred thousand more. In this case, we can send troops to attack them and win. The only thing I am not sure about now is how many monks and nuns they have who know magic. Whether these people can turn the situation in our favor. Lin Yicheng said. Lin Yicheng is not a Taoist, so he doesn't understand how powerful a Taoist can be.
"A monk with lavender spiritual energy can only kill two hundred soldiers at most without being able to replenish his spiritual energy. There should be five hundred Buddhists in Northern Qi now, including many who are at the peak of purple energy and purple energy, and at the earthly immortal level. There are also monks. If all these people go into battle, the two sides will be evenly matched." I frowned and analyzed.
"If you and Lao Niu go to Northern Qi and kill those monks, the situation will be reversed and we can quickly occupy the territory of Northern Qi." Lin Yicheng said.
"Lao Yu and I are both special forces. We took our guns and shot him down. If we finish the job early, we can go back." King Kong Cannon interrupted eagerly.
"Are you so anxious to go back? I've been bored here for more than twenty years and I'm not as anxious as you are." I glanced at the Vajra Cannon dissatisfied.
"You hug each other all day long, and you have given me a group of mutes. You are so interesting." King Kong Pao looked at Xu Shuangyi and Wu Qingzhu and shouted loudly.
 "Who am I hugging me?" I sighed helplessly.
"Chief Yu, I think Lao Niu's method is good. You should go to the capital of Northern Qi. If you don't have the heart to kill them, then destroy their martial arts." Lin Yicheng said. He couldn't tell the big difference between mysterious martial arts and Taoism.
"There are some things you don't understand. Even if we capture the capital of Northern Qi, the power of the guardian dragon will not be cut off unless we kill Ye Aofeng. What if we really destroy Northern Qi and Ye Aofeng runs away?" I shook my head and said. The Qi of that Heavenly Protector Dragon is connected to Ye Aofeng, just as the Qi of me and the Five-clawed Golden Dragon are connected. As long as Ye Aofeng is still alive, the Qi of the Protector Heavenly Dragon will not be extinct. Even if Beiqi is destroyed, I will not be able to be promoted to Daluo Golden Immortal. . What I'm most worried about now is not how to occupy the territory of Northern Qi. What I'm most worried about is what to do if Ye Aofeng turns around at the last moment. As long as he takes that baby and flies away, where can I find him?
I¡¯m delayed due to something today, so please forgive me.
