Chapter 473: Attack the city first, attack the heart
On this day, Qi Feihong finished handling military affairs and went for a walk in the royal garden inside the palace. He accidentally met Ayu, the casino proprietress who had left Qisehongguang City with him before and had been silently by his side.
Qi Feihong was busy with his affairs and had not met or spoken to Ayu a few times. Now that he met Ayu suddenly, he felt a little unfamiliar.
At this time, Ayu was teaching etiquette to some new maids. Qi Feihong watched from a distance for a while and felt that Ayu had a deep study of etiquette. With a thought in his heart, he immediately brought Ayu to the palace of the king, summoned all the ministers, and appointed Ayu as the maid.
The Minister of Rites of the Qilin Kingdom.
From then on, Ayu began to manage the etiquette, sacrifices and other matters of Qilin Kingdom, and the six departments of Qilin Kingdom were all set up.
Ayu did not expect that Qi Feihong, who had not paid much attention to her, would suddenly entrust her with an important task, and she wanted to refuse. However, seeing that Qi Feihong was very determined, she accepted the appointment. She took office and began to take charge of the etiquette, sacrifices and other matters of Qilin Kingdom.
She was considered successful and famous, and it was not in vain for her to follow Qi Feihong.
Ayu's original surname is Zhu, and her name is Zhu Yu. After she became the Minister of Rites, she could no longer use the nickname Ayu that everyone was used to. From then on, everyone called her her real name Zhu Yu, or Master Zhu. Zhu Yu really studied etiquette very well and gave guidance.
Everyone learned court etiquette and taught the world to abide by etiquette.
In any country, etiquette and law are indispensable, and there must be dedicated people to promote etiquette and law. Zhu Yu is better at this, so she is the right person to be the Minister of Rites to promote etiquette and law.
Qi Feihong felt quite happy when he saw this scene. Then he thought that there were still many areas where talents of all kinds were needed to help him take care of it, so he wrote an imperial edict in his own handwriting and ordered Shen Yue, the Minister of Civil Affairs, to post it widely and spend a lot of money to recruit talents of all kinds.
For a time, everyone in Qilin Kingdom came to Qilin City one after another to pass the assessment of the Qilin Kingdom's Ministry of Officials and become an official of Qilin Kingdom.
The talents Qi Feihong wants to recruit include education, medical care, people's livelihood, etc. Anyone with some skills can come to take the assessment. Once they pass the assessment, they will have the opportunity to be reused.
In order to attract talents, Qi Feihong did a lot of things and achieved excellent results. Within a few days, Shen Yue assessed a group of available talents. After reporting to Qi Feihong, they were appointed to various industries.
Officials. With these people, the development of Qilin Kingdom will definitely usher in a period of rapid development, and it will definitely become one of the powerful countries in the world of immortality.
Recruiting talented people was only the first step in Qi Feihong's journey to a powerful country. He also strengthened trade with neighboring countries. He first formed an alliance with Jin Xing's Feixian Kingdom to exchange trade, and then sent people to form an alliance with Yu Wenxian's Red Dragon Kingdom.
, trade exchanges. He won over two major allies in a short period of time. Whether it is military, commerce, agriculture, etc., there is a certain guarantee. The country will be strong and the people will be prosperous.
The Qilin Kingdom exports its excess products to its allies, the Feixian Kingdom and the Red Dragon Kingdom, in exchange for spiritual coins, and then purchases various rare items in the country to meet the needs of its citizens. In this process, the people of the Qilin Kingdom benefit from
, live a richer life.
Mutual trade has led to the rapid economic development of Qilin State, and has also allowed the economies of allied countries to develop and recover. All three parties have benefited a lot. After Jin Xing and Yu Wenxian tasted the benefits, they realized that Qi Feihong's actions were beneficial to everyone.
.
Li Zheng led his army to attack Lu Hao, which was also very successful. He successively captured many of Lu Hao's cities, and most of Lu Hao's territory became the territory of Qilin Kingdom.
The more cities the Qilin Kingdom has, the vast territory, and the richer its products. The people are rich, the country is strong, and it is likely to quickly become a powerful country.
Not long after, Li Zheng sent a battle report. The three-pronged army conquered many cities in succession and successfully met outside Baihu City. They were actively preparing to capture Baihu City and completely eliminate Lu Hao. Li Zheng also said in the battle report that Lu Hao had assembled all the troops.
A total of 300,000 people were in White Tiger City, trying to fight to the death with Li Zheng. It seemed that they knew they had no way to retreat and were desperate to jump over the wall.
Lu Hao is now able to assemble an army of 300,000, which is already his best effort. You must know that since Li Zheng led his army on the expedition, Lu Hao has been retreating steadily. His officers and soldiers have suffered numerous casualties, and even more have escaped or surrendered. The number of soldiers is no longer what it used to be.
.
After Qi Feihong checked the map, he discussed with Zhao Hai and others, and immediately ordered the army to attack and ordered Li Zheng to capture Baihu City. There were only more than a dozen cities between Baihu City and Qingcheng. Qi Feihong ordered Li Zheng to do it all
, conquer all the cities occupied by Lu Hao, and completely eliminate Lu Hao.
Li Zheng received the order and immediately sent out troops. The army attacked the city day and night, and within a few days they captured Baihu City, which was heavily guarded by Lu Hao. In this battle, Li Zheng's army destroyed more than 100,000 Lu Hao's troops, captured nearly 100,000, and escaped with tens of thousands. Lu Hao
When they evacuated, there were less than 50,000 soldiers around them, and most of the people brought out from Qilin Village were killed or injured in this battle.
Lu Hao was defeated in this battle, and his entire army was almost annihilated. This battle can also be called a classic, but many people think it is not as exciting as the previous battles. After all, Li Zheng's army suffered a lot of losses.
Li Zheng's army also suffered heavy losses in this battle. Because Lu Hao's army refused to retreat, Li Zheng ordered a strong attack. His soldiers suffered nearly 100,000 casualties, and thousands of surrendered Lu Hao soldiers fled. This was the largest loss since the war began.
Battle.
When Li Zheng sent the battle report to Qi Feihong, Qi Feihong and the ministers were very shocked and a little sad. War is always cruel, and it is impossible to conquer the city without any blood all the time. One day it will happen like this
situation.
Qi Feihong was sad and heartbroken, and ordered Li Tianxing and Jin Min to provide pensions to the families of the soldiers based on the list of soldiers who died in Baihu City sent by Li Zheng. He also ordered all ministers to work together to formulate a special pension plan for the sacrificed soldiers.
Policy. After that, the Kirin Kingdom issued an announcement, clearly stating that the families of all soldiers who died on the battlefield will receive pensions jointly issued by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War of the Kirin Kingdom, so that their families can have no worries about food and clothing.
This move seems to have never happened before in the world of immortality. When the news spread, all the citizens of Qilin Kingdom were shocked. They were both surprised and happy. They felt that Qi Feihong's move was very in line with the people's sentiments, in line with public opinion, and a good deed.
After Li Zheng learned the news, he also wrote to Qi Feihong, praising Qi Feihong for his great kindness, which was very beneficial to the development of the army, relieved the soldiers' worries, and encouraged the army to continue to pursue Lu Hao and completely eliminate him.
Lu Hao was already on his last breath. Although he continued to recruit soldiers in the few cities and strengthen the army, no matter how hard he tried, even if he forced recruitment, he still had less than 100,000 soldiers under his command.
Li Zheng's army attacked and attacked with several times the number of Lu Hao's army. They fought all the way to Weicheng, the last city east of Qingcheng.
This time, Li Zheng's army encountered almost no effective resistance, and the casualties of the soldiers were pretty good. By this time, Lu Hao was already on his last legs. If he could not get assistance from other forces, he would probably be defeated by the Qilin Kingdom soon.
extinguished.
Lu Hao was forced to withdraw his troops all the way to Weicheng, and suddenly ordered to defend to the death, seemingly intending to make a final struggle in Weicheng.
Li Zheng's army set out from Guomen Town and pursued Lu Hao for nearly a year. Finally, it was time to completely defeat Lu Hao. In order to decide the outcome in a battle, Li Zheng ordered his army to camp outside the east gate of Weicheng and rest for three days until they had enough energy.
, and started a decisive battle with Lu Hao.
The army gathered in a dark mass outside Weicheng. The area occupied by the camps alone was much larger than that of Weicheng. When the one hundred thousand Lu Hao soldiers in Weicheng saw the momentum of Li Zheng's army on the city wall, their faces changed, and their hearts changed.
If you are afraid, how can you still have half the will to fight?
Two days later, Li Zheng suddenly ordered the army to shoot a large number of surrender letters at the foot of Weicheng City to persuade the enemy troops in Weicheng to surrender. Li Zheng asked the soldiers to tell the enemy soldiers that as long as they surrendered voluntarily, not only would they not be killed, but they would also be given spiritual coins to allow them to surrender.
They returned to their respective hometowns or joined Li Zheng's army and became soldiers of the Qilin Kingdom, enjoying the same treatment.
To attack a city first, attack the heart first. This is a common strategy used by those who are good at leading troops in war. It is also a very effective way to break the fighting spirit of enemy soldiers.
Li Zheng is not only the God of War, he is not only brave and good at fighting, but also full of tricks. It is not unjust that Lu Hao was defeated by him.
