PS: Alas, I was lectured by my wife, but it¡¯s right. Anyway, the Internet relies on hype, so it¡¯s not a loss for me to make a fuss, it should be used to increase my reputation.
¡°Well, that¡¯s it, I will sue the Yangcheng Evening News for infringing my rights through legal channels, just treat it as hype.
¡°But this incident has sounded the alarm for me. I want to be famous and I have to work harder.
Even though you are an earthworm, you still want to shake the giant tree!
Okay, without further ado, here is the text of the novel, as I promised, this chapter is free, with a word count of 5950 words.
¡ª¡ªAs the day progresses towards Xishan, Jijing, Xie An, the Minister of Punishment, comes to his house¡ª¡ª
"Your Highness, it's not good if this continues"
In the capital city of Hebei, in the residence of the Minister of Justice in Xie An, Cao Da, the general of Northern Xinjiang, spoke solemnly to Yan King Li Mao, who was sitting in front of the main hall of the mansion courtyard, and softly persuaded him.
Compared with the once elegantly decorated Xie Mansion of the Minister of Justice, Xie An's lobby is now like a ruin. It is not difficult to guess that King Li Mao of Yan came here in anger after being provoked by Xie An's few words on the city wall. Break things to vent.
The dignified Lord of Northern Territory, King Yan Li Mao, was so ungraceful that he smashed things when his master was not at home. It is not difficult to guess that he was really angry with Xie An at the top of the city just now.
Looking at the ruins-like main hall, I wonder if Xie An will feel heartbroken when he sees this scene in the future.
Most likely, given Xie Anna¡¯s sensitivity to money.
"Have all the soldiers and horses of the imperial courtretired?"
Sitting in front of the stone steps and breathing heavily, Li Mao asked with a gloomy face.
Perhaps realizing that his lord was in a bad mood, Cao Da glanced at Zhang Qi. Cao Da took a breath and said cautiously, "Just now, the imperial soldiers and horses tentatively attacked. It was difficult to capture Jijing, so they retreated one after another. Two of them went to the northeast and northwest sides of Anping State, apparently to interrupt our army's retreat. In addition, there was an unknown cavalry force of about 10,000 people. Where to go, if the general guessed correctly, that cavalry army should be the second division of the Jizhou Army led by Ma Dan! In addition to the above three armies, the main division of the Jizhou Army retreated more than ten miles to the west. . If you guessed correctly, you should have set up camp and prepared to fight a stalemate with our army"
Hearing this, King Yan Li Mao raised his hand to support his forehead and exhaled a long breath.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Chang Sun Xiangyu's strategy of swapping offense and defense, he really didn't think about it in advance. Changsun Xiangyu made such a clever move. The combat effectiveness of his infantry and cavalry in northern Xinjiang was almost completely destroyed: the infantry in northern Xinjiang were only good at attacking cities and had little defensive experience; while the Yuyang cavalry lost their power in a short period of time because both the cavalry and horses were vomiting and diarrhea. In this case, even with the towering and solid city walls of Jijing as a barrier and barrier, Li Mao had little confidence in defending the city.
Li Mao is not a fool. Although it is difficult to detect it beforehand, he still realizes it afterward. He calmed down and carefully analyzed the whole process of Zhang Sun Xiangyu's plan.
First of all, there is no need to go into detail about the strategy of recruiting exhausted troops. To be precise, that strategy should be regarded as a trick of subtly opening the city gate multiple times to trick the opponent, but not taking the opportunity to leave the city to attack. , deepened the Liaodong Expeditionary Force's view that Jijing "will never leave the city", and paved the way for the subsequent troops in Jijing to quietly retreat from the city.
Thinking of this. A complex expression flashed across Yan Wang Li Mao's tiger eyes.
I remember that at that time, he saw through Changsun Xiangyu's plan with high spirits, and vowed to implement the strategy of driving away tigers and devouring wolves, hoping that the Liaodong Expeditionary Force would fight to the death with the imperial troops. But now that he thought about it carefully, what was wrong with him? He saw through Changsun Xiangyu's plan. It was clear that Changsun Xiangyu had an insight into his attitude towards this and the measures he would take in advance.
"[Just ask the Liaodong Expeditionary Force to fight to the death with the imperial troops. Our army has temporarily stationed in Jijing to reward the soldiers! ]
It was this high-spirited general order by Li Mao at that time that cost the lives of the 60,000 to 70,000 foreign cavalrymen of the Liaodong Expeditionary Army, and retreated the entire army into a pit of fire.
[I¡¯m afraid that woman had already figured out my response beforehand. Therefore, attack the Liaodong Expeditionary Force without any scruples]
Li Mao smacked his lips and smiled bitterly.
From then on, whether it was the infantry on the imperial side taking advantage of the autumn floods to go to the upper reaches of the Qingshui River to accumulate water, or the cavalry of the Jizhou Army luring the Liaodong Expeditionary Force past the shallow beach on the Qingshui River and throwing beans to make the Liaodong Expeditionary Soldiers crotch. The war horses stampeded in the shallow water on the river bank, which directly caused the floods upstream to wash down. The Liaodong Expeditionary Force had no time to retreat and the entire army was annihilated.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??The fierce and domineering serial plan, the vision and the far-reaching plan. If it weren't for him, King Yan Li Mao, who was the victim of this plan, otherwise, even he couldn't help but applaud and praise the clever plan. He admired Changsun Xiangyu's casual actions, which completely guided the entire battlefield situation to the side that was beneficial to the Zhou court.
It¡¯s hard to handle, it¡¯s really hard to handle¡
The situation a few months ago has been completely reversed. Now the northern Xinjiang side is passive and surrounded by the imperial army. Without foreign aid, the situation is not optimistic to be honest.
The only good thing is that before the Jizhou army withdrew from Ji Jing, they only sprinkled laxatives instead of poison on the wells in the city, so that thousands of soldiers in northern Xinjiang could still save their lives, but so what? His soldiers in northern Xinjiang are not good at defending the city!
It is no exaggeration to say that at present, King Li Mao of Yan still has 50,000 elite troops from northern Xinjiang, including Yuyang Iron Cavalry, in Jijing, but the imperial court has gathered a force of nearly 100,000 due to the arrival of the Jizhou Army, but that How? If they meet in the wilderness outside the city, Li Mao has strong confidence that he can defeat the imperial army in a battle. After all, the Northern Xinjiang Army is the dominant force in grasslands and plains. It has conquered, surrendered, or even been destroyed. One big grassland tribe after another.
But when it comes to defending the city
Li Mao had a headache. After all, he only had a few defense experiences during the Battle of Northern Hebei eleven years ago, let alone the Northern Xinjiang troops under his command who had always fought against others. If he really wanted those under his command, The soldiers climbed up the tower to fight the imperial army. To be honest, Li Mao was not optimistic about it.
And this is precisely the most brilliant thing about Changsun Xiangyu, and it is also the most brilliant thing that Li Mao thinks Changsun Xiangyu gave up the city.
At this moment, Jijing is simply worthless, tasteless to eat, and a pity to throw away, which makes Li Mao feel confused.
Think about it. Only Changsun Xiangyu, a bold and vicious woman who was not afraid of anything in the world, could abandon Jijing, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty that had been passed down for hundreds of years, without any regrets. Just abandon it without any hesitation, as long as this bargaining chip is enough to determine the winning rate of the entire battle.
[I was careless for a moment and was taken advantage of by that woman. Now if I want to restore my disadvantage, the only way is]
King Li Mao of Yan looked towards the north inadvertently.
Because it is in Boling, which is about two to three hundred miles away from Jijing. There are also nearly 80,000 troops and horses in northern Xinjiang that he has intact, including the Jiefan Army of the Western Army, one of the four towns in Jijing.
?Then the problem arises. Now there are only two ways in front of Li Mao.
First, abandon Jijing and retreat to Boling.
Of course. The retreat mentioned here is just a nicer wording. To put it bluntly, it means that Li Mao left most of his subordinates who were unable to move, took his die-hard soldiers and generals, and left the city to the northwest of Anping Kingdom. Side breakout.
Even though the Jizhou Army stationed in that direction was even stronger than the First Division of the main division, and the general leading the army, Fei Guo, was also a famous Jizhou Army general known as the Tiger of Liang. But so what?
He is Li Mao, King of Yan Li Mao!
Let alone breaking out from Fei Guo, even if he killed Fei Guo himself in battle, it was not something Li Mao couldn't do.
The only worry is that if Li Mao leaves Jijing, the imperial troops will inevitably attack Jijing and retake the capital of the Zhou Dynasty. Moreover, he lost his commander-in-chief, King Li Mao of Yan. The Northern Xinjiang soldiers, who are not good at fighting city defense battles, are probably even more difficult to support. What's more, the Jizhou Army had previously framed the Northern Xinjiang soldiers by giving laxatives, causing most of the soldiers in the city to have diarrhea and weak limbs, and their hands and feet were all weak. Powerless.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Li Mao, King of Yan, did not sit in Jijing to frighten the imperial troops outside the city, I am afraid that the soldiers in the northern Xinjiang in the city would only have a dead end.
When he thought of this, Li Mao couldn't help but hate Changsun Xiangyu, the owl concubine who had helped him and Liang Qiuwu become famous in the Battle of Northern Hebei. Because of Changsun Xiangyu's plan, Li Maoshuan, the king of Yan, was almost killed in the useless city of Jijing, unless he was willing to abandon the nearly 50,000 northern Xinjiang soldiers under his command, and was willing to abandon most of his hard work in the past ten years.
There is only a second way out
And the second way out. Even if he recruits the remaining 60,000 Northern Xinjiang soldiers who are in Boling at the moment, if necessary, even the Jiefan Army of the Western Army who secretly surrendered to him early can also be summoned. As long as this elite force arrives, let alone Xie An Li Xian has nearly 100,000 troops in his hands. Even if there are more than 100,000 troops, he, Li Mao, has full confidence in defeating them.
But there is also a hidden danger in doing so, and it is a huge hidden danger.
Because as we all know, the other 60,000 Northern Xinjiang soldiers under Li Mao¡¯s command,These people were not in Boling just for fun, but to trap to death one of the most powerful generals in the Zhou Dynasty, and also a hero among women who was unparalleled in the world, Liangqiu Wu, the Flame Tiger Princess.
Once the army is withdrawn and this ferocious female tiger is released, it will be a devastating disaster for the northern Xinjiang army!
After all, if Liangqiu Wu is out of trouble, it means that the imperial court and the Jizhou Army have a battlefield warrior god that even Yan Wang Li Mao can't match. It means that the imperial soldiers and horses no longer have to be afraid of a head-on battle with the Northern Xinjiang Army. With him, King Yan Li Mao will be restrained, and it will be difficult to implement any tactics of catching the thief first because Liangqiu Wuwu is always watching him.
It has to be said that these only two ways out will cause immeasurable losses to Li Mao. This is where he is in a dilemma.
"If there is any way to break this disadvantageous deadlock, then there is only
I don¡¯t know what he thought of, but a look of pain flashed in Yan Wang Li Mao¡¯s eyes. He gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. The pain in his eyes was gradually replaced by a sharp look and fierce light.
"Hoo!"
Standing up suddenly, King Yan Li Mao lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "Send a letter to Yang Ling in Boling, telling him not to show mercy to the Eastern Army and that man anymore!"
From the side, the four Northern Xinjiang generals Youdou, Zhang Qi, Cao Da, and Le Xu were slightly shocked when they heard this. When they were about to speak, they saw that King Yan Li Mao had already stepped out of the Xie Mansion without looking back. There was a terrifying aura that kept strangers away from it.
"Your Highness, I have finally made up my mind"
"Ah finally"
Looking at the slightly desolate and lonely back of Yan King Li Mao. The four Northern Xinjiang generals looked at each other, as if they wanted to show joy for something, but for some reason they did not show it. As a result, the expressions of the four people changed continuously, which was really weird.
"Kill the Flame Tiger Princess Liangqiu Wu!"
"What? Kill the Flame Tiger Princess Liangqiu Wu?! Kill the Great Mistress?!"
Just when King Li Mao of Yan had made up his mind and was ready to say goodbye to his past relationship completely for the sake of his hegemony, he was about sixty miles away from Jijing in the north. Cheng Yang, the deputy commander of the Second Division of the Jizhou Army, was driving his horses and soldiers to march slowly further north, while looking at Liu Qing with a look of shock on his face as he uttered shocking words.
"Not bad!" His white hands gently stroked the horse's mane. Liu Qing, the right-wing military advisor of the Jizhou Army who was only seventeen years old, raised his head and glanced further north, and said softly, "You are also the trap set by that woman Changsun Xiangyu. They all saw it, and they were very clever at it. Not only did they chop and shave, they not only killed the Northern Xinjiang Army's strong reinforcements for the Liaodong Expeditionary Force, but also killed King Yan Li Maoshuan in Jijing, making it difficult for him to ride a tiger. In order to have 50,000 soldiers under his command, His safety is in danger and he has to stay in Jijing to fight with our army There are only two ways out for Li Mao at the moment, either abandon Jijing and withdraw to Boling alone; or recruit Boling's troops to resist our army. offensive. But no matter which one of these two, it will cause immeasurable losses to Li Mao"
"Well" Beside Cheng Yang, Xie An's brother-in-law Kuyang nodded in agreement and murmured, "If I were Li Mao, I'm afraid I wouldn't choose either of these two options because the loss is too great! "
"That's right!" Liu Qing glanced at Kuyang, who was even older than herself, and nodded in approval with a tone that sounded like an elder praising a junior. "Let's get to the point! Indeed, Li Mao will not choose between these two options. He will choose the middle method between the two, which is to call the nearly 80,000 northern Xinjiang soldiers in Boling. Take the first step to kill Sister Xiaowu. In this way, even if Boling's Northern Xinjiang army comes to Jijing's aid, Li Mao won't have to worry about letting the tiger return to the mountain"
"Sure enough, the tiger is letting the tiger return to the mountain. The metaphor is just right!" Liao Li, the coach of the third partial division of the Jizhou Army, smiled slightly. Compared to the deputy general Cheng Yang whose expression changed drastically, Liao Li is a talented coach. His calm skills are naturally beyond the reach of the former.
What¡¯s so surprising? You must know that this time the third division of the Jizhou Army went to Boling, wasn't it just to rescue the great mistress Yanhu Ji Liangqiu Wu from the siege and get her out of trouble?
After taking a few deep breaths and thinking about it, Cheng Yang gradually calmed down and asked Liu Qing with a suspicious look on his face, "In this case, I don't understand why Commander Liu just scolded Commander Changsun This matter has nothing to do with Changsun." Is there any connection between military advisors?"
"Isn't there any connection?" Liu Qing glanced at Cheng Yang and said coldly, "It is said that Li Mao has always reciprocated his love for sister Xiaowu. If he was not deeply passive now, he would definitely not use this trick. And do you think Who put Li Mao in this passive situation?"
"Army Changsun" Cheng Yang's expression changed slightly, murmured to himself.
"Hmph!" Liu Qing snorted, and angrily rebuked, "The kind of woman who brings disaster to the country and the people refers to the kind of woman with a vicious heart! She is such a murderer with a borrowed knife. She thinks I, Liu Qing, can't see through it? It's ridiculous!"
"Cough!" Liao Li coughed lightly when he heard the words, reminding Liu Qing that after all, if these words reached the ears of Changsun Xiangyu, I am afraid that the two military advisors of the Jizhou Army would have a big fight over this matter. To be honest, he didn't really want to face Mrs. Changsun's loyal confidant, Captain Mo Fei of the Fusi Division in Beizhen. He was a top assassin who even he, Liao Li, found extremely troublesome.
Cheng Yang obviously understood the meaning of Liao Li's cough. He put on a smile on his face and persuaded him in a gentle tone, "Master Liu, please calm down. The general thought that maybe the truth of the matter was not what Commander Liu thought." It¡¯s as unbearable as I thought¡¡±
"Hmph! What do you know! That woman was lucky enough to give birth to a boy. The mother is more valuable than the son, and her future life must be extremely comfortable. If something unexpected happens to Sister Xiaowu during this period Bah, bah, bah, in short, it is natural for her to She can replace Sister Xiaowu and become the eldest wife of the Xie family! Don't you understand?" Liu Qing glanced at the generals and asked with a sneer.
The generals of the Jizhou Army looked at each other, wondering what to say, but because of Liu Qing's frost-like face, they could only remain silent.
"How can I let you get what you want?!" Liu Qing clenched her fists tightly, and her eyes became more determined.
"Wait for me, sister Xiaowu, until my sister saves you from trouble. Go back and tell that woman to look good!"
At the same time, in the military advisor's tent of the main division of the Jizhou Army, Mirage Qin Ke'er was looking at the eldest grandson Xiangyu who was holding her son in the tent with a look of joy on her face with confused and complicated eyes.
"Is this good? As a result, the conflict between the second lady and Liu Qing will become even more impossible to resolve"
"Do you think I care?" Glancing at Qin Ke'er, Changsun Xiangyu chuckled and said, "Liu Qing is smart. But if you want to call me my rival, she doesn't have the qualifications "
"I really don't understand why the Second Lady would use this method?"
Changsun Xiangyu's smile faded when he heard this, and he said seriously, "Don't you understand? Liu Qing is a descendant of the royal family of the Southern Tang Dynasty, even though he is now part of the Jizhou Army. Serving as the right military advisor seems to be fulfilling his duties, but in the final analysis, After all, she still didn't show her true talents How could she show all her talents? The Great Zhou Dynasty destroyed the enemies of her country! In her heart, Liu Qing did not want to serve the Great Zhou court and the only breakthrough was According to my concubine, Liang Qiu Wu has been tested many times. She probably regards Liang Qiu Wu sincerely as her own sister. In other words, the more dangerous Xiao Wu¡¯s situation becomes, the more she can stimulate this woman¡¯s talents!¡ª¡ª There is no way. In order to deal with Li Mao, it is impossible for us to send more troops to Boling. At most, it is Liao Li's army, and it is one of the cavalry. Liao Liao only has four thousand cavalry. If we want to use four thousand cavalry to rescue him, Xiao Wu, who is surrounded by an army of 80,000 people from the northern frontier, has little chance of winning even if he has help from the fierce general Liao Li!"
After hearing this, Qin Keer suddenly realized, nodded and said with a chuckle, "That's it I want to say something offensive. I really thought that the second lady was planning to kill with a borrowed knife, to eliminate General Liangqiu, so that he could sit down with Mrs. Xie. s position¡¡"
"The position of Xie's housewife will naturally be taken over by my concubine. But not in this way"
"I understand, the second lady is putting the overall situation first"
"No, you don't understand." Glancing at Qin Ke'er with a smile, the eldest grandson Xiangyu said calmly, "I want to take over the position of Mrs. Xie only if Liangqiu Wu is still alive, otherwisethen It¡¯s so unfulfilling¡¡±
"A sense ofachievement?" Qin Ke'er was stunned for a moment, looking at her eldest grandson Xiangyu with dumbfounded eyes. After a while, she realized her gaffe, changed the topic and asked, "Thenwhat does the Second Madam think?" , can General Liangqiu get out of trouble this time?"
Hearing this, the eldest son Xiangyu gave his son Mo Mo to the little girl Wang Xin, and immediately moved to the tent. He lifted the tent with his delicate right hand and looked towards the distant north under the setting sun.
"That is my fierce rival. How can that girl Liu Qing be compared with her? Don't worry, that tigress will definitely appear in front of you and me again safe and sound Without that woman, there would be no old enemy in the world. Wouldn¡¯t my concubine have to be lonely all her life? That would be too boring Furthermore, that woman has not seen my son with her own eyes, how can she be allowed to die like this? I am very curious. When the time comes, she What kind of expression will it look like? Is it anger? Is it self-pity? Is it at a loss? Giggle, gurgling, when I think about this, my whole body trembles with excitement, and I can't control myself, gurgling, gurgling"
[I said a lotthe last sentence is the most fundamental reason, right? ]
Looking at the queen in front of her who was smiling wildly, Qin Keer swallowed subconsciously, feeling that as an ordinary person, she could not understand the way of thinking of the person in front of her.
