Chapter Forty-Nine: Gathering Drums
"Empress Xiao, you said you were going to Shuzhong?" Qin Qing was very surprised by the decision of the filial queen, but he didn't expect that the filial queen thought about it for a night, and finally decided to run away.
"The king is already thinking about moving Yunhou's soldiers to save Yongdu, which shows that he is not very optimistic about the battle situation. In addition, he personally admitted that a few days ago, Duke Lu did suffer a defeat in the northwest, and the Donghu people were very likely to break through Yongdu and even kill Xianyang City.
In that case, what are we going to do here? In the past two years, Changping and Changwen have done a good job in Bashu, not only sorting out the government affairs of Bashu. It appeased the people of Bashu, and encouraged production to make Bashu more prosperous. You have a huge family business in Bashu, let's go to Bashu to watch the wind and clouds of Xianyang. As long as the time comes, we can still come back. "Among the politicians in Xianyang, the filial piety queen is an absolute exception.
At present, the great enemy Jing Er will definitely not be able to leave Xianyang, as long as he leaves, the morale of the people of the entire Great Qin will immediately fall to the bottom. But there was no problem with Empress Xiao's departure from Xianyang, although she was now one of the three political forces in Great Qin. But there is no reason to stay in Xianyang, and no official who is full of food will impeach her.
However, Qin Qing didn't want to leave Xianyang, she had been by the side of Empress Xiaohou all along. Last time, Yun Yue knocked on the side and wanted Empress Xiao to give Qin Qing to him. But Empress Xiaowei pretended not to understand, she still didn't understand that Empress Xiaohou wanted to keep her by her side. First, it is easier to use it for a long time, and secondly, Qin Qing has known too many secrets of filial piety for so many years. If you want to let her go after filial piety, it can be said that it is even more difficult. Unless, Yun Yue agreed to the very harsh political conditions of the filial piety.
Now is an opportunity for the filial queen to leave Xianyang. But Xianyang's huge political power she can't take away, Bashu and Guanzhong are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. Once something happened in Xianyang, she was too late to react when she was far away in Bashu. If the Donghu Rebellion lasted for a year or two, it was very likely that those political forces after filial piety would be co-opted and suppressed by others and lost! Therefore, the filial piety queen needs an agent to stay in Xianyang. Help her look at the family's background, these are the foundations left by the Mi family for a hundred years, and there is absolutely no room for loss.
"Filial piety! You can go, but what can you do with this Goquan Palace? Yao Jia is more slippery than a loach, does Empress Xiaohou want to count on him to support the situation in Xianyang for Empress Xiao? ”
"Uh......" Empress Xiaohou immediately understood what Qin Qing meant, and the invasion of the Donghu people made her heart already messy. After all, for so many years, there had never been a war so close to the Great Qin Capital. That's why she thought about escaping to Bashu, but what if she left the banner of the Mi family's power?
"Filial piety! Qing'er has been taught by filial piety for many years, and now the filial piety queen wants to go to Bashu to relax. Qing'er guarded this Gaoquan Palace for the filial piety queen, so that everything would be as usual when the filial piety queen returned to the palace in the coming day. ”
"Qing'er......! The Donghu people are like wolves and tigers, slaughtering cities and killing people everywhere they go. In case ......"
"Please rest assured that the Empress of Filial Piety, although the Donghu people are powerful. But it can't shake the foundation of Daqin, and the filial piety queen is the body of ten thousand gold. Naturally, there must be a perfect strategy, but this Gaoquan Palace also needs someone to take care of the house. Qing'er, please be the caretaker. ”
"Okay, the mourning family is attached to you. If the war is lost, Qing'er will come to Bashu quickly and join the mourning family! ”
When people perceive danger, their first reaction is always to flee. Only those who truly have the courage will face death head-on, and it is clear that filial piety does not belong to that kind of person. The behavior of the Donghu people in Longyou made her very afraid, and the farther away she was from those barbarians, the safer she felt.
The anxious Qi Gong received Jing Er's order, and he held it in his hand expressionlessly, but he was bitter in his heart. In today's situation, it is the best choice to stick to Yongdu. With high walls and deep ditches, the Donghu people can pay the price of blood. Can......
Those guys in the court will only point at people's noses and scold no, but they really let them come here to fight with real knives and guns, but no one dares to come. Things are all bad in the hands of those villains who are secretly scolding, and how many generals have died on inexplicable things. With a sigh, he buried his head in the sand table, trying to find an unlucky Donghu tribe based on the scout's intelligence.
"What? What did you say? Gong Qi stared at Meng Yi with a pair of eyes like a tiger, trying to see Huahua from this young general.
"There is a Donghu people in the upper valley, and the number is about more than 10,000. However, only five or six thousand were capable warriors, and most of the rest were women, old and young, who were in charge of the baggage. Meng Yi felt uncomfortable being stared at by Gong Qi, although he lowered his head. It still feels like two hooks!
Someone brought a pillow when he really wanted to sleep, and he could hardly believe it was true. Like a madman, he ran back to the sandbox, even though the nearby terrain was in his head. But if you don't look at it, you always feel unsteady.
Good place, the upper valley is surrounded by mountains and there is only one road leading to the valley mouth. In winter, it's a great place to shelter from the wind. But in the eyes of the Duke of Qi, this is an absolute place of death. As long as the mouth of the valley is blocked, the people inside will not be able to rush out. And this kind of battle is the most suitable for the Great Qin soldiers, and the cavalry cannot play its due role in this kind of terrain at all.
The only thing wrong is that the upper valley is more than 60 miles away from Yongdu. It would take only a day for the army to march, and if the Donghu people took the opportunity to tear this army apart. The consequences are unimaginable, to fight or not to fight......!
It's like a stripped beauty in bed, but her husband will come back at any moment. Duke Qi was torn between being on and off, and looked at Jing Er's sternly worded official document. Duke Qi decided to take the risk of fighting this battle, as long as he annihilated a shareholder of Hu Jun. The chattering guys in the court will shut up, and the pressure on Wang Ling will be much less.
In the end, it was a veteran who had fought on the battlefield for many years, and soon a battle plan that would have the best of both worlds came to mind. He sent 40,000 or 50,000 people to annihilate the Hu people, and led an army of 100,000 to meet him halfway. If the Donghu people dare to counter-encircle, more than 100,000 people can also cover each other and retreat.
As long as it reaches the city of Yongdu, it is the territory of the Qin army. No matter how fierce the Donghu people are, the rolling wood and stones on the city wall are not vegetarians.
After making up his mind, the Duke shouted: "Beat the drum!" Upgrade! ”
"Knock" "Knock" "Knock" ...... A tight drum sounded in Yongdu City. When the generals heard the drums, they all rushed to the Chinese army in full armor to agree. The atmosphere in Yongdu City was immediately slaughtered.
"Master Hou! Oh no, the Duke is gathering the drums, go and see it! ”
