Chapter 53: Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron
The situation in the Eastern Territory has changed drastically.
On Qin Yu's side, they vigorously competed for territory and expanded their base.
The larger the territory, the more power can be gathered to form a major power.
Wherever his army passed, most of them chose to surrender directly due to his strong power.
Qin Yu also started recruiting troops in the east.
The imperial court is not idle either. They are also making preparations, hoping to use the eastern border as the battlefield to annihilate the rebels in one fell swoop and prevent them from running back.
Their actions make people panic.
In Changning County.
Qin Yu now also has strong soldiers and horses.
The entire northern army, plus part of the eastern army.
"Using the Eastern Territory as a chessboard, half of the Eastern Territory lies in the Kuntian Mountains. We speculate that the imperial court will make a big deal here. If we cannot capture Kuntian, we will be suppressed here."
"As you command!"
Among the eight founding families of the People's Republic of China, the Central Region has the most.
"A plan to draw fire under the cauldron."
Qin Yu didn't care too much about this.
Qin Yu pointed directly at the Kuntian Mountains.
Qin Yu is very confident.
"Yes, not only did they abandon their garrison, but all the powerful families in the county where they were located were also forced to move away. According to reliable information, the imperial court took action. Several families refused to move away from where they had lived for generations, and their entire families were exterminated.
"
"Your Highness clearly sees that the imperial court has indeed launched a counterattack."
Another most important thing is that the Eight Great Families do not dare to expand their territory at will.
Qin Yu was calm.
Because the northern border was the largest territory that Daqian finally captured after the founding of the country.
However, they won't question it.
But the second order is a bit strange.
The army continued to advance.
Also because of the bitter cold in the north, except for some special treasures, it is far inferior to other places.
When Da Qian founded the country, he also suffered a lot in the Kuntian Mountains.
Zhang Liang sighed.
This could all become cannon fodder for the imperial court.
"Conspiracy!" Yang Quan shouted coldly.
"It would be great if we could get support from these two families, even if they don't directly declare war."
"Although the foundation of our palace in the east is not as solid as in the north, it does not lack supporters. The Qinhai plan will not be so smooth."
In terms of big things, he takes control, but in terms of small details, Zhang Liang handles them.
"Kuntian Mountains!"
Because the whole world is not the land of the king!
The generals clasped their fists.
Inside the meeting hall.
"This palace has said that the Eastern Territory will be a difficult battle, but once we capture the Eastern Territory, half of the country will be conquered. If the situation is strong enough, then we can directly attack the Central Territory. Now we are seeing the tricks and forcefully relocating all the tribes. In a short time, it will be
A good plan will definitely arouse public dissatisfaction."
The resources placed in each city were emptied.
Meng Tian told a piece of information.
"Your Highness, what should we do?" Yang Quan asked.
Zhang Liang reported the military situation, "Except for the large-scale counterattack in the battle of Changning, the other counties were taken extremely easily. There were no major battles in the next few counties, and there were no defenders. I guess it was not that they were afraid, but that they gave up on purpose.
."
Zhang Liang frowned: "Those who can form a clan must have some strength. It seems that Qin Hai also knows that these clans cannot be used by us and recruits their strength in advance. Even if we capture it, the value we get will not be great.
"
This approach is actually more uncomfortable than a head-on battle.
Qin Yu scolded him.
Deliberately abandoning many counties.
"Your Highness, our army has made good progress during this period and has captured nine counties in total!"
Qin Yu's behavior was infinitely domineering.
Meng Tian said: "But ordinary people in Li are acting as usual. They also know that there are too many people and they cannot evacuate."
The Five Generals of Kunhai said.
However, in the face of this situation, what can they do.
"I know how to do it."
Yang Quan knew even more that this was only a short-term victory and it was not the moment of great joy. If they underestimated the court, they would pay a huge price.
People who know this mountain range know that this mountain range is composed of mountains and is vast and spectacular, with part of it extending into the central region.
As the Immortal Emperor's Scripture circulates, the rolling pressure is like an ancient emperor suppressing it.
"It's easy to defend but hard to attack, but you have to win it!" Zhang Liang said.
After the imperial court's order, the big and small families had no choice but to move away. Those families also knew that this was not a good thing, indicating that they would use their family's heritage to fight for the imperial court.
A large-scale attack by the army consumes a lot of resources every day. If it is not replenished, it will be a huge blow to the combat effectiveness.
Qin Yu said again.
"The rebels must attack the Kuntian Mountains, and now according to intelligence, they are also expanding outwards, but it is also a good thing. The invisible front line will be stretched, and many flaws will be exposed. At that time, seize the opportunity and lay down a dragnet.
There will be a chance to annihilate some of the elites."
"The two strongest families in the East are the Lu family and the Ning family. Among them, the Ning family is the strongest."
Zhang Liangdao.
Zhou Tu was overjoyed.
The reason is simple, because the Qin family of Daqian started their business in the Central Territory. When they responded to their call, they naturally made the Central Territory prosperous.
The word "arrogant warrior" is not entirely good.
"This is not a good thing."
"How do the Lu and Ning families respond?" Qin Hai asked.
But Qin Yu saw an opportunity in this madness.
"Yang Quan, the soldiers have been a little arrogant recently. You can be arrogant, but you cannot be arrogant. I know that the imperial court is not that weak and needs to be vigilant."
There are none in the north.
"Luring the enemy deep, encircling and annihilating them, they also know that our biggest advantage before was that our attacks were aimless, but as long as we have a large amount of territory, there will be traces to follow."
Qin Yudao.
But also to stimulate the madness of the imperial court.
Qin Yu's move was to gain system rewards.
"The Lu and Ning families, with the Ning family being the strongest, have produced many outstanding figures. However, these two families were in the East a long time ago. They are not loyal supporters of the Holy Sage today. They keep a low profile and rarely participate in internal affairs."
"And the imperial court cannot defend every city and disperse its forces. The more land we seize and the longer the battle line, our strength will begin to disperse at the same time."
If it were him, he wouldn't leave his power to the enemy.
Qin Yu said again.
Wherever he went, there were no defenders in the city.
"But you must be careful when attacking to avoid traps."
In the imperial capital, Qin Hai was listening to reports.
The rebels are so fierce.
now.
"The general trend of the world is here. When the general trend of this palace is like a rolling wheel, everything is possible."
"No matter how strong the fortress is, it will be taken down to prepare for the battle of the Kuntian Mountains. At the same time, we will continue to expand in all directions. Even if there is no one in the city, we will send out a small force for our palace to occupy it."
Later, it was the Lu and Ning families who pledged their allegiance to completely capture this mountain range, thus seizing the entire Eastern Territory.
The first command is easy to understand.
Because he got a lot of supplements from the system.
Sure enough, if we broaden our horizons, the situation of the battle becomes clear immediately. This series of actions can be said to have cut off the source of many strong men for the rebels, and there will not be a situation where more and more attacks will occur for the time being.
"Except for the counties we occupied at the beginning, the neighboring counties within our army's sphere of influence are beginning to migrate."
As well as the land he captured, all the tribes have been mobilized. Those who are in seclusion in heaven and quasi-legends should not be idle and follow him to join the war.
"The situation in the east has been somewhat different recently," Qin Yu said.
"Your Majesty, our plan to draw out the firepower has been successful."
If a foreign enemy invades, the country's citizens will scold it to death, but this kind of civil war is such that no one will scold it.
"The Great Migration!" The generals were shocked.
"The Lu and Ning families responded, but most of them were perfunctory words and little actual action was taken."
"These two families!" Qin Hai's eyes were cold: "Continue to urge and issue imperial edicts. In the territory of Daqian, even the eight founding families must obey my orders!"
Ordinary small families, if they don't obey, they will be exterminated directly.
But this kind of founding family, where legends sit, cannot do this.
