"After the soldiers of King Yu Wenxian entered Shente City, they ignored our persuasion and forcibly occupied Shente City. After the commander-in-chief of Huangfu City captured Yinlingzi City, they were counterattacked by the enemy forces from Pingyi City and Chiyou City.
, we should have retreated to Shencha City, but because Shencha City was occupied by the soldiers of Lord Yu Wenxian, we had no choice but to retreat to our country first."
Qi Feihong nodded slightly, as if he didn't care about what A Yuan said. Li Zheng was successfully rescued. Qi Feihong was happy and didn't care about Yu Wenxian's small actions: "The king of Yu Wenxian wants to take back his territory.
This move is also expected and should be ignored. What about Lord Li Tianxing who captured Shente City? Has he also withdrawn to our territory?"
A Yuan nodded: "Master Li Tianxing and the commander-in-chief of Huangfu City have joined forces and are currently stationed at the junction of Yinlingzi City and Qingcheng, waiting for the king's will. The previous plan of the king was due to the actions of the king Yu Wenxian
, may need to be adjusted.”
Qi Feihong said: "Tell the two adults not to move for the time being and wait for my next instructions... What are the casualties of the soldiers?"
A Yuan said: "The commander-in-chief of Huangfu City and the soldiers of Lord Li Tianxing are okay. There are not many defenders in Yinlingzi City and Shentu City. They were captured easily with few casualties. But I received the news that General Li Zheng's men
The casualties among the soldiers were relatively heavy. According to preliminary statistics, the number of casualties was around 100,000. However, the soldiers under General Li Zheng also killed 60,000 enemy soldiers, destroyed an enemy formation, and captured more than 10,000 enemy soldiers."
Ah Yuan must have been busy all night last night, and there was a lot of information to find out. This was naturally arranged by Qi Feihong, but it also shows how loyal and serious A Yuan is.
Qi Feihong frowned and said: "There are so many casualties. It seems that our Qilin Kingdom was defeated in this battle... That's all, General Li Zheng is fine. Ayuan, give me a decree to let General Li Zheng take a good rest. The army
Withdraw to the territory to rest and wait for the opportunity before sending troops to conquer the Northern Kingdom."
Ah Yuan said hello and stepped away first. A Juan stayed beside Qi Feihong. Although he did not speak, his expression seemed to have something to say. Qi Feihong saw that A Juan was hesitant to speak, so he asked: "Ah
Juan, if you have anything to say, just say it, there are no outsiders here."
Ajuan took half a step forward and said carefully: "Your Majesty, when the commander-in-chief of Huangfu City evacuated Yinlingzi City, he left ten thousand soldiers behind. The commander-in-chief of Huangfu City ordered the soldiers to take off their armor, disguise themselves as civilians and mingled with Yinlingzi City.
Among the people in Zicheng, they say that they are preparing to attack Yinlingzi City in the future. The king must not be aware of this move, but after thinking about it again and again, I still feel that I should report it to the king."
Qi Feihong said: "I already know about this, it's okay. Ajuan, is there anything else you want to say?"
Ajuan said: "General Li Zheng has a secret message for me to deliver to the king of the country. General Li Zheng said that the king of the country must open it in person and read it alone."
Qi Feihong looked at a letter that Ajuan carefully took out, took a look at the handwriting on the letter, and recognized that it was Li Zheng's handwriting. He felt a little strange in his heart, but didn't ask much. Originally, when Li Zheng had something to do, he always used it directly.
Yu Fu was sent to contact Qi Feihong. It was rare to write a letter like this.
Perhaps Li Zheng had something very important to tell Qi Feihong, so he used this primitive method.
Qi Feihong took the letter and asked casually: "Who sent this letter?"
Ajuan said: "It was sent by a commander named Liu under General Li Zheng. At that time, General Li Zheng was not trapped yet, so he wrote this letter with his own hand and asked Commander Liu to deliver it. Unexpectedly, the letter was still on the way.
General Li Zheng was trapped. Commander Liu originally planned to go back to rescue General Li Zheng, but thinking that this letter might be of great importance, he insisted on sending this letter."
Qi Feihong nodded slightly, opened the letter, read the content carefully, and silently handed the letter to Tian Sizi beside him: "Tian'er, it turns out that eldest brother already knew that there was an ambush in Pingyi City, just to rescue the soldiers entering the city.
, that’s why he put himself in danger. Hey, it’s no wonder that my eldest brother is respected in the army. He completely ignores his personal safety for the sake of the soldiers. This action shows that he loves his soldiers as much as his son and is a truly good general."
Tian Xizi read the letter written by Li Zheng to Qi Feihong and said slowly: "Brother, it's true that even though he knew there was danger, he still went in and almost fell into the enemy's formation... Actually, eldest brother didn't have to take such a risk.
We can find ways to rescue the trapped soldiers."
Ajuan said from the side: "The soldiers who were trapped first are all dead. They all died in Pingyi City in order to protect General Li Zheng..."
Tian Sizi was stunned for a moment, with a sad look on his face, and couldn't help but say: "They were all loyal soldiers and strong-willed men, but they died in the hands of the Immortal Golden Immortal. It is really a loss for our Qilin Kingdom. What a pity.
"
Qi Feihong sighed and was about to speak when Zhao Hai's voice came from outside: "Master, I have something important to report."
Qi Feihong held back the sadness in his heart and stood up to greet him personally: "What's the matter with the Imperial Master?"
Zhao Hai said: "To the Lord of the Kingdom, I have received news that General Li Zheng has returned to the military camp. Although he was seriously injured, he was treated by Xuannv Yuqing and others. He is no longer seriously injured and will be recovering in a few days."
It can be recovered. I ask the Lord to rest assured that the Lord no longer has to worry about General Li Zheng."
Qi Feihong said: "I already know about this. Although General Li Zheng is fine, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. In the end, we lost this battle."
Zhao Hai said: "That's not necessarily true. In my opinion, although our soldiers suffered casualties of 100,000 in Pingyi City, General Li Zheng's soldiers also killed 60,000 enemy soldiers and captured more than 10,000 enemy soldiers.
In addition, the total number of enemies killed by Huangfu Cheng and others and Lord Li Tianxing exceeds 10,000. In total, the losses of Yongsheng Jinxian’s soldiers are not smaller than ours, so we can’t be considered a loser.”
Qi Feihong wondered: "I don't seem to understand what the Imperial Master said. After all, our loss is greater than that of the Immortal Golden Immortal..."
Zhao Hai said: "Master, think about it, we suffered casualties of 100,000 soldiers, and Yongsheng Jinxian also suffered casualties of 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers. If we include the more than 10,000 soldiers captured under Yongsheng Jinxian, there is actually not much difference in the losses between the two sides.
If we can persuade the captured Immortal Golden Immortal soldiers to surrender and let them become our soldiers and add them to the army, then the two sides will be considered a draw at best."
Qi Feihong was suddenly enlightened and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Such an algorithm, used here... I think it is inappropriate. That's all, let's not talk about this. Does the Imperial Master have anything else to say? It's getting late, this...
…”
Zhao Hai said: "I have one more thing to report. I heard that Master Huangfucheng and Master Li Tianxing captured Yinlingzi City and Shentu City respectively, but they both evacuated the two cities and are currently stationed near Qingcheng. I don't think so.
Do you understand why?"
Qi Feihong said: "This is my will. The two adults attacked Yinlingzi City and Shentu City. The purpose was to disperse the troops in Pingyi City, disrupt the deployment of Yongsheng Jinxian, and give us a chance to rescue General Li Zheng. Now.
The goal has been achieved, and it is reasonable and appropriate for the two adults to lead the army to retreat."
Zhao Hai said: "It turns out that this is the will of the king. I thought that the two adults were afraid of the counterattack of the Immortal Golden Immortal and evacuated the occupied city without authorization. In this case, I resigned, and you, the king, should rest early.
"
Qi Feihong said: "The Imperial Master really didn't see the purpose of my actions today?"
Zhao Hai smiled: "The king is very wise. Although I think I am smart, compared with the king, I am far behind. I really did not see the purpose of the king's move."
Qi Feihong said: "The Imperial Master is being humble. I heard that General Li Zheng was trapped a few days ago, and I was confused. I lost my bearings and almost made a mistake. If someone hadn't reminded me to calm down, I might not have thought of this move. Fortunately, Li Zheng is now
The general has been rescued, and I can be considered worthy of this sworn brother."
At this point, Qi Feihong suddenly sighed: "But I lost one hundred thousand soldiers in this battle, which makes me sad. If I could have thought of countermeasures earlier, they might not have all died in this battle."
Zhao Hai said: "The king does not need to be sad about this. In fact, it is common for people to die in war, and no one can avoid it. Moreover, the king's move was timely and saved the lives of more soldiers, which is already of great benefit to the soldiers.
Help, no one will blame you, the king."
Qi Feihong sighed and said: "No matter what, it's because of my previous decision-making that was problematic. If I had been more careful, maybe all these 100,000 soldiers could have survived..."
