Those who came to attend the meeting included General Li who had just arrived.
When the king and his minister met, they were naturally very moved. General Li brought surprising news that the Qi army around Qingzhou had expanded to between 400 and 500,000.
This was also the first deployment of Gao Huan. Gao Huan had already made preparations. One was to intercept the Northern Army in Longma Town. If it didn't work, then stick to Qingzhou.
For this reason, almost eight or nine out of ten troops of Qi State were mobilized.
At first, everyone thought it was only a 200,000 army, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be 500,000, which were all shocked. It seemed that Qi State was clearly going to fight the North.
It turned out that Gao Huan saw that Emperor Qi was corrupt and went on a war. He could not dissuade him, and knew that once the 200,000 army left, sheep would enter the tiger's mouth. If Qi lost the 200,000, it would be truly over from now on.
After many considerations, I came up with an idea. Since this is the case, it is better to take the opportunity to take a gamble and destroy the Qi army.
He examined the terrain, weighed the pros and cons, and simply asked Emperor Qi to have a decisive battle. If he defeated the Northern Emperor this time, Qi might be in a desperate situation.
Although Emperor Qi could not understand these military and national affairs, under Xiao Lian's instigation, he certainly believed that the more troops the better. So he let Gao Huan try. However, Gao Huan was scheming and did not suppress the entire army in Qingzhou.
, but it was dispersed, forming a siege between each other, and it was also avoided from falling into the hands of the third prince. No matter how bad it was, it was easy to attack, defend and retreat, and rescue each other.
When Luo Jia saw the military information sent by General Li, he was so angry that Gao Huan and Longma Town were defeated, it was obvious that he was just a drop in the bucket, and the Battle of Qingzhou was his real decisive battle.
This old fox, even he was helpless when he surrounded this three-sided siege. If the war was delayed, it would become a protracted war that would last for a long time, and the national strength of the northern country would be dragged into a quagmire of war.
This is completely contrary to his grand plan to enter Luoyang.
However, at this time, I had to bite the bullet and take a gamble. Without first solving the obstacle of Qi, all the ambitions and great achievements will be discussed on paper.
At this time, it was no longer a matter of father and son fighting each other, but a major event of the country. He listened to the discussions of his subordinates, and for a moment, no one could come up with a decent plan.
