Chapter 484: Wishful Thinking

Zhongping County has completely turned into a military camp, 50,000 tiger army, in addition to leaving 5,000 in Yuejing, the remaining 45,000 people all appear here, plus tens of thousands of county soldiers transferred from the county still controlled by the imperial court, in Zhongping County, Wu Jian has gathered 100,000 people. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In his original plan, he was going to gather 150,000 horses, but unfortunately, some county governors excused themselves for various reasons, either there was no one, or there was no money or food, or they claimed that the team had already set off, but now, not even a single figure has been seen.

Naturally, there's something greasy here. Either these people are Rock's sympathizers, or they are unsure who will win the final victory.

For such a situation, Wu Jian just sneered a few times, now of course he will not move these people, forcing these people to be anxious, and another Luo Yishui will make it worse for the current Yue Kingdom. Stabilize them, and after dealing with Luo Yishui by yourself, turn back and slowly clean them up one by one.

Since you can't send charcoal in the snow in times of crisis, let me give you a knife in the future.

"Your Majesty, the minister's suggestion is to focus on siege and confrontation." Zhang Ningdao, the left minister: "Luo Thief did not capture Zhongping County, he has lost his foothold, without the replenishment of grain, grass and ordnance, they can't last long, 100,000 rebels, how much food to eat every day, this number is not something Luo Thief can afford." We could have waited for them to attack us and then swallow him in one gulp. ”

Listening to Zhang Ning's suggestion, Wu Jian shook his head.

"From a purely military point of view, your suggestion is not bad, but in connection with the reality we are in now, it is not good."

"Your Majesty is worried about those wall grasses?" Zhang Ning said awe-inspiringly.

Wu Jian nodded: "Of course, not to mention those places that we can't control now, and not to mention those places outside the Yuejing City that are still under our orders, even if it is in the Yuejing City, do you think we can sit back and relax?" ”

Zhang Ning hesitated for a moment and shook his head, even if it has been cleaned several times in Yuejing City, who can guarantee that there will be no more Luo's dark line in private, and Chen Ci's matter has made Zhang Ning still have palpitations until now. If it comes out like this again, then who can stand it?

You must know that the Luo family is the same as the royal Wu family, but they are both heirloom families, and they have been existing in Yue since the Tang Dynasty.

"The longer we delay, the more likely those with bad intentions will be inclined to Luo Yishui, so I must defeat Luo Yishui, Chen Ci and others with the power of thunder, and give these wall grasses a head drink, so that they can understand that Yue Guo is still Wu's." Wu Jian snorted coldly. "Anyone who can't change his heart will disappear in front of me."

"Your Majesty, the truth is the same, but if this happens, our losses will not be small. Although the Tiger Ben Army is strong in combat, the rebels used to be border troops, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than those county soldiers under our current command. Zhang Ning said, now the imperial court still has confidence, because of the existence of the Tiger Army, if the Tiger Army loses too much, how can it deter those with bad intentions at that time?

"Losses are inevitable, it depends on whether it's worth it or not, the Tiger Ben Army can be rebuilt, but once the country is lost, how can it be taken back?" Wu Jian said lightly.

"Your Majesty, although the Taiping Army is helping us now, their wolf ambitions are well known to everyone, if the Tiger Ben Army loses too much, how will they be counterbalanced at that time?" Zhang Ning was worried.

Now the Taiping army has controlled Shayang County, Changyang County, and now Yongping County, compared with Luo Yishui, they just did not openly raise the flag of rebellion, and the orders of the imperial court are not much different from farting for them.

"Taiping Army!" Wu Jian laughed. Zhang Ning laughed a little inexplicably, doesn't the Taiping Army need to worry? At that time, if the Tiger Ben Army and Luo Yishui fight and both lose, won't the Taiping Army benefit in the end?

If at that time, the Taiping Army suddenly turned its face, how would the imperial court respond? Looking at the emperor's appearance, he was completely in his chest, as the first assistant, he didn't know anything about the emperor's mind and intentions, Zhang Ning suddenly felt a little chill on his body.

It seems that the emperor does not trust himself as much as he imagined!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Great Joy!" Concho, the commander of the Tiger Army, walked in from the outside beamingly.

"Where does the joy come from?" Wu Jian raised his eyebrows.

"Back to Your Majesty, just came from Yongping news, the Taiping army in Yongping hit Chen Ci's department, Luo Yishui's vain attempt to seize Yongping County has suffered a heavy setback, now Chen Ci retreated to Fancheng, trying to make another last fight, but the Taiping army two battalions defeated it, but I am afraid that as soon as the main force of the Taiping army arrives, he can't even hold Fancheng." Concho shouted.

"Two war camps? How many people? Hearing that two battalions had defeated Chen Ci's 20,000 people who had entered Yongping County, Wu Jian was slightly startled.

"Your Majesty, the Baoqing battalion and the miners' battalion are participating in the war this time, one with 5,000 people and the other with 3,000 people." Kang Qiao replied, he was happy to be patronized by the good news before, and now that the emperor asked like this, he suddenly remembered what it meant, and his face immediately changed a little.

Chen Ci's border army was not a fish belly, but with twice the opponent's strength, it also suffered a defeat, and the combat effectiveness of the Taiping army was too terrifying. They did not have an intuitive feeling of the combat capability of the Taiping Army, and the Shuntian Army, which had learned the power of the Taiping Army, had long been swept into the dust of history.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Ning looked at Wu Jian.

Wu Jian was silent for a moment, his face changed from solemn to relaxed, looked at the two henchmen, and said lightly: "Don't worry, there is one thing I didn't tell you, when we arrived in Zhongping, I left for a few days halfway, and you don't know." ”

Both of them were taken aback, Zhang Ning stared at the emperor, "Your Majesty, you, where have you been?" ”

"I went to find Li Zhi." Wu Jian said: "I also gave him Yongping County, and the price is that he must destroy the Taiping army." So now, Li Zhi should be sharpening his knife. ”

"I see." Zhang Ning was immediately overjoyed, "Your Majesty, if that's the case, then it's okay for the Taiping army to be more powerful, let the Qin people go dog-eat-dog with them, Qin Feng had an inextricable hatred with the border army of Qin State in Chu State before, and this time let him fight with the border army of Qin State again." It's better if they lose both. ”

Wu Jian smiled and nodded, Zhang Ning's reaction was fast, the combat effectiveness of the Taiping army was beyond his expectations, then the Qin army would definitely be greatly hindered when attacking them, as long as they started a war, the two sides were evenly matched, then no one could easily get out, as Zhang Ning said, the more fierce the fight, the better, the more miserable the better.

Kang Qiao was a little depressed: "Your Majesty, the Qin army has 100,000 people, and the Taiping army will definitely not be an opponent, but we have no Yongping County, and we have been swallowed by the Qin people, and it will be difficult to get it back." ”

"So what? Can it be worse than the current situation? Wu Jian said with a smile: "If the Taiping army is defeated by the Qin people, after we defeat Luo Yishui, we will be able to take back Changyang County, Shayang County, and even get the Taiping City that Qin Feng worked so hard to build. ”

"Your Majesty's words are extremely true. Although the Qin people are good at fighting, but the national strength is weak, they have always been self-preservation first, unable to shake the foundation of our country, but Qin Feng is different, looking at his governance in Shayang and other places, it can be said that he is digging the foundation of my Dayue, if he is allowed to grow, it will inevitably become a big trouble for our Dayue, and a Yongping County can be exchanged for its destruction, no matter how we look at it, it is earned. More importantly, we are once again united with the Qi State, which is good for us. ”

"But Qi people are a good thing." Concho muttered.

"Qi people are indeed not a good thing, but now, we can only rely on them." Wu Jian looked up to the sky and sighed: "If we purge the enemies in the country, we should revitalize the dynasty and then shape the majesty of Dayue." The battle between the Qi people and the Chu people is not something that can be won or lost in a moment, and the Qin people will also contain part of the Qi people's strength. And we, now temporarily attached to the big tree of Qi State, after my Dayue national strength grows larger, we can move in time, when the time comes, whether to continue to rely on Qi or turn around to help Chu, there is a choice. ”

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Ning nodded again and again.

"Zhang Ning, send someone to Yongping County with 100,000 taels of silver to reward the Taiping army, tell Qin Feng, and say that I hope he will make persistent efforts, take advantage of the victory to pursue, and be sure to wipe out Chen Ci's troops." Wu Jian waved his hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Ning nodded, "Use a little money to make Qin Feng a little more excited!" Let him have a little more energy, and when he makes a lot of money in the future, Qin Jun will fall from the sky, and I don't know what kind of face he will be at that time. ”

Wu Jian smiled proudly: "The milky little boy also wants to fight with me, it's really whimsical, by the way, Zhang Ning, Xu Jie has already set off, right?" ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already sent a message, and after Xu Ming was imprisoned, he was grateful and had already set off for Zhengyang County. Your Majesty is going to prepare him to deal with the Taiping army over there? ”

Wu Jian smiled: "Of course, Xu Jie is still capable, he is also from Zhengyang County, let him go back, it is to make the best use of everything, and when the main force of the Taiping Army is destroyed and Qin Feng is finished, how much combat power will there be in those three melons and two dates in Zhengyang County." Concho, we are also going to move, and we will mobilize the whole army immediately, and we will go through the city to fight this traitor to the death. Defeat Luo Yishui earlier, and we'll clean up the mess again. After returning to the army, we will take advantage of the victory to march and take back Shayang and other places in one fell swoop, they have been away from the rule of the imperial court for too long, and it is time to return. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." (To be continued.) )
