Now the total number of regular troops in Chaodu is only 600,000. Last time, we lost about 100,000 horses on the battlefield. This month, we can also use the militia to replenish all the troops. The magic stick took away 200,000, and Yuan Xu stayed behind in Pingdu.
One hundred thousand, and all the hundreds of thousands garrisoned in other places were recruited back. Wang Ping actually led more than 200,000 troops.
The veteran general Wang Ping had rich experience in marching and fighting. The main force of the ghost military advisor Yang Sheng was in the capital of Da'an. Wang Ping did not go to the capital, but went directly to Pingdu to join Yuan Xu's troops.
The cold wind is still blowing sharply, the streets of Chaodu seem deserted, and every household is shrouded in a tense atmosphere. Da'an is basically destroyed, and now Chaodu has officially launched a war against Guihe. If the war is victorious, these former
The refugees and the people of the six ethnic groups can still live a good life. Once the tide city is defeated, this comfortable life will be gone forever. What awaits them is the same hungry and cold life as before.
In a small hall of the Governor's Mansion, there were fire pots burning all around. Although it was very cold outside, the cold outside could not be felt in the room. Li Tian and his three close friends were chatting warmly about their future life, as if they were interested in the future.
The current war is indifferent.
The living room was full of joy and laughter, but the voices were mostly from Li Tian and Ruyu. Ruyan and Situ Ying frowned from time to time, feeling worried in their hearts.
"Brother Tian, are you so worried about Master Divine Envoy and the others? What should we do if something happens to his army?" Situ Ying finally couldn't help but ask.
Although it kind of ruined the atmosphere, these were the answers that the three women wanted to know. They all looked at Li Tian, wanting to hear what he was thinking.
Li Tian smiled. The three women in front of him were all his most beloved people, and they were all people who had saved him with their lives. Li Tian was silent for a moment, and instead of answering Ying'er's question, he asked a question first.
"Yinger, Ruyan and Ruyu, I know what you are worried about. I just want to ask, do you want a happy life, or do you want the life of a queen?"
The three people looked at each other inexplicably, and Ruyan said: "Brother Tian, Yu'er and I grew up in a gorgeous life. Since we have followed you, no matter whether we are poor or rich, as long as we can be with you,
We will be happy.
I think that sister Ying'er can travel thousands of miles to save you with her life and give up her identity as a national teacher. You should understand the thoughts of the three of us.
We three sisters love each other as brothers and don't seek any status. As long as we can live happily, we will be satisfied." Ruyu and Ying'er also nodded.
Li Tian looked at his three close friends with relief, "I feel relieved with these words. To be honest, you all know in your heart that even if you save me this time, your lives will not last long. Don't think that
I don't know. In fact, I know more than you.
But since you have chosen me, as a man, I have to take on this responsibility. I don’t want to live for just a few years, I want to give you happiness, eternal happiness. Whether you believe it or not
It’s okay, there are some things I can’t tell you yet, but in short, I have to prove it with actions.
Generally speaking, the military operation launched this time is not the best time for us. If I can still wait, I will wait until next year to start the war. By then, our troops in Chaodu will be able to increase their armaments by one-third, and
All kinds of backup are very sufficient.
But time waits for no one, so I can only start the war in advance, but I have also calculated that the hope of winning is still very high.
The key here is the army of magic sticks. This guy is definitely not the idiot you think he is. Don't look at him as he is usually scheming and has no regard for the overall situation. But when it comes to the real critical moment, who will he compete with?
All calm.
Therefore, I didn’t arrange any action plan for him at all, I just told him to fight in his own way, and whatever the outcome is, everything depends on God’s will.”
The three women were all shocked by Li Tian's words. Originally, they thought Li Tian didn't know that they spent a certain amount of their lives to save her. Now it seems that Li Tian knows everything very well.
"Brother Tian, aren't you afraid that the God Envoy might lose his life?" Situ Ying asked.
"Ying'er, don't worry, this guy is my best friend, and I will never give up on him to complete my career. I believe this guy has the ability to save himself, and I have secretly arranged for his protection, no matter what
In any situation, whenever you see danger, you will first protect the Lord God and run away.
Von Toltai is also a fierce general. Although he is warlike, he is definitely not stupid. He knows how to preserve his strength.
Their combination makes Yang Sheng confused even more. What I am worried about now is my old father-in-law, Mr. Wang Ping. Our father has studied military art for half his life. He is very minded and does not know how to adapt. What Yang Sheng likes to deal with most is
Such people."
In just a few days, a rumor spread wildly in the lands of Da'an and Guihe that the great Sun God had suffered a great humiliation.
Rumor has it that Yang Sheng sent people to beat up the great God Envoy and threatened him not to promote the sun god in the future.
The streets, alleys, folk corners, restaurants and teahouses all talk about the same topic at once, and many storytellers have adapted it into songs and circulated it everywhere.
At the end, the story of the Divine Envoy became desolate and tragic. The great Divine Envoy was actually castrated by Yang Sheng and turned into a eunuch, and was also raped by seven or eight big men.
I wonder if the magician would find a place where no one is around and kill him if he hears such rumors.
The power of the people cannot be ignored. Out of love for the Sun God, deserters began to appear in the Guihe army. The occupied area of Da'an also aroused resistance from the people. Many tax offices were burned down by the people, and even checkpoints with few soldiers were destroyed.
A sneak attack was carried out.
When something like this happened, Qian Fu, the "Jia Feng" emperor of Guihe, could not sit still and was ready to launch a bloody suppression.
Qian Fu was also an emperor on horseback and did not understand what appeasement policy was. In his view, if ordinary people were disobedient, they could be calmed down by killing a few more people.
When Yang Sheng, who was far away in the capital of Da'an, heard the news, he sighed, shook his head, and said to the generals: "The civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty are all fools. This is obviously Chaodu's trick. We should implement the policy of diligence and love for the people."
It is best to conduct channels and eliminate the rumors. If there is a bloody suppression, the people will become even more resentful towards our noble and dynasty."
The ghost military advisor immediately wrote an urgent memorial to Emperor Guihe Jiafeng, and listed several policies to calm the people.
First of all, we need to open warehouses to provide grain and tax exemptions for the poor people, send people to secretly carry out counter-public opinion offensives, publicize the evil deeds of the Six Tribes in Chaodu, and appease the temples, allocate food and funds to silence their mouths, and then find some people who have already
If you rely on my divine servant Guihe to teach you through words and deeds, this unfavorable momentum will slowly subside.
These strategies of Yang Sheng really worked, and the common people were very easy to fool around with. They settled the matter with just three melons and two dates. It was a silent battle of intelligences, with the planning of both sides, it was a fight.
Tie.
But Yang Sheng was also wondering in his heart. Who else but Li Tian would have thought of such a vicious idea? Is Li Tian really not dead? Yang Sheng immediately sent someone to call Wei Wu over, and Li Tian committed suicide that day.
I asked about the situation in detail again.
Yang Sheng didn't dare to be careless and had already prepared a strategy to deal with Chaodu. He knew that once Li Tian died, Chaodu would definitely take crazy revenge. There were some clues from the leader of the army, but Yang Sheng didn't care at all.
.
Now that Li Tianyi from the Chaozhou capital is dead, Wang Ping can still make him look at him differently. For Yang Sheng, like the magic stick, no matter how many soldiers the magic stick leads, it is just a pig leading a group of pigs, and it is basically a rabble.
Once Li Tian is alive, all Yang Sheng's layout will have to be changed again, and he doesn't dare to be careless.
Guihe's military strength has also been reduced. After taking the capital, Yang Sheng's main army is now less than 400,000. Zhang Guilin's army in Pingdu was transferred back, and some scattered small troops were added to make up another 600,000.
Thousands of people are waiting in the capital for the crazy counterattack of the Chaodu army.
Besides, the army of magic sticks did not wait for Li Tian's order, and rushed to the capital city in a mighty manner. Along the way, they killed some small units of Guihe.
Dharma, the magic stick never tires of doing it.
In a few days, they arrived at the boundary of the capital city, and ordered people to set up camp twenty miles away from the city.
"Von Toltai, you are a veteran of the war, tell me about the current situation in the city." The magic stick asked.
"Master God, judging from our intelligence, Yang Sheng's main army is stationed in the capital city, with approximately hundreds of thousands of troops." Feng Toltai said.
"Damn! This time we are really successful. In the past few days, we were just a small group of people, and they couldn't kill enough." The magic gun said excitedly.
"Brother Dachang, how do you think we should fight this time?" Zhang Guihua asked. Poor Lord Divine Envoy, even his title was changed from husband to "big intestine".
"Then there's no need to ask about attacking the city. Von Toltai, tell me how many days it will take for me to take down the city with my troops."
Fon Toltai looked at the magic stick excitedly. Oh my god, it’s different. The idea of Lord God’s Envoy is so great. He didn’t dare to say whether there will be others coming from behind, but it must be unprecedented. “Master God’s Envoy”
, just because you are personally in charge and you have a strong general like me, Old Feng, I can guarantee that it will never exceed three days."
"You can capture the capital city in just three days? Are you bragging?" The magic stick looked at von Toltai in disbelief.
"No, I mean, within three days, our entire army will be wiped out."
"Holy shit! Damn it again! You idiot Feng Er can also use humor. Believe it or not, I will handle you with military law now." The magic stick rolled up his sleeves and was about to take action.
"Wait a minute, sir, don't worry, it's just that your idea is a bit too crazy. We have only 200,000 people, and we have to take the initiative to attack the city against hundreds of thousands of other people's troops? Isn't this looking for death?"
Von Toltai quickly explained to the magic stick.
"Brother Dachang, I think General Feng is right. We cannot act recklessly. We must pay attention to strategy and fight with wisdom." Zhang Guihua also said.
"Yes, my wife is right. The wisdom in my mind cannot be wasted. So, let's go order some food and drinks. The three of us will eat while waiting for the wisdom. I estimate that early tomorrow morning, my mind will be filled with the least amount of wisdom.
Eighty clever ideas can appear."
The three of them got drunk before midnight, and they didn't realize their wisdom, but they slept soundly. There was still tears on the corners of the magic stick's mouth, so he probably dug another gold mine in his dream.
