Yan Qing is a fierce general, brave and strategic, and his performance on the battlefield is remarkable, but...
He is a man not a god!
He took 100,000 men to intercept King Zhao's 200,000 troops, and also had to deal with Xihu's 100,000 troops. All he could do was hold on for as many days as possible. It would be impossible to force King Zhao back.
It's a dream.
Five days!
Yan Qing trapped King Zhao and his entourage in a small alley for five days, and then he could no longer be trapped unless he was determined to let everyone in his hands die here.
But even if he died here together with a hundred thousand soldiers, it would only delay King Zhao, not force him to retreat.
When things have come to this point, King Zhao will never be willing to settle down. Even Xihu will not agree to King Zhao hiding behind him. If King Zhao goes crazy and suddenly stabs them from behind, wouldn't they be in bad luck?
Under the joint attack of Xihu and King Zhao, Yan Qing had been able to hold on for five days to the limit. It wasn't that Yan Qing was incompetent, it was because the people of Xihu were too shameless!
They initially sent over 100,000 troops, but later they sent over 50,000 to 60,000 troops. Yan Qing only had 100,000 troops. It was not easy to handle 300,000 troops at the same time, and it was not easy to last for five days.
When the King of Pingxi County learned that Xihujia had sent troops and horses to support King Zhao, it was not that he had not thought of sending troops to assist Yan Qing. However, let alone the fact that the troops and horses they had on hand were not enough, Xihu's army had launched an attack on the city.
The war will make Prince Pingxi unable to recruit people to help him.
Although Feng Yao is young, his performance on the battlefield is remarkable. His fighting style is neither impatient nor impatient. He is not impatient when he wins and is impatient when he loses. He is calm and majestic, very similar to...
He fought against Feng Yao several times, and although Prince Pingxi was not defeated, he did not win either. Prince Pingxi was very frustrated, so he came to Feng Sijin to discuss countermeasures.
To discuss countermeasures, we must first find out Feng Yao's routine and study his fighting style. This study of Prince Pingxi would be foolish.
"General Feng! It's very similar to the Feng family's fighting style, but it also has the toughness and bravery of Xihu." General Cheng was outspoken and said whatever came to his mind. He didn't realize what he had said until he finished speaking, and he immediately regretted it, but he said
If you go out, the water you spilled cannot be recovered.
All the lieutenants, including the Prince of Pingxi County, were dumbfounded. Many of them thought so in their hearts, but they did not dare to say it out loud. Once these words were spoken, wouldn't it mean that General Feng was colluding with Xihu.
General Cheng "speaks out for justice" in public. I wonder if he is courageous or just too stupid?
The Prince of Pingxi County thought that General Cheng must be too stupid. If he hadn't been too stupid, he wouldn't have fallen into the hands of the Gu family in the first place. He was so punished by a woman from Gu Qiancheng that he didn't even dare to say a word.
General Cheng felt guilty when he said something wrong. Seeing everyone staring at him, he felt more and more uneasy. However, in order to show that he was "righteous", General Cheng raised his voice and said: "Why are you all looking at me? Did I say something wrong? Feng Yao
The fighting style is the same as General Feng. And you see, why did Princess Xihu give Feng Yao such a name? It is probably to imply to others that Feng Yao is a descendant of the Feng family."
The more General Cheng talks about it, the more it sounds like that, but...
Everyone who was still suspicious at first put aside their doubts after hearing General Cheng's words.
"The time was wrong. Princess Xihu was pregnant on Xihu's territory. No one from the Feng family was in this area at that time." This matter has been investigated for a long time. Prince Pingxi also knew about it, but he saw that Feng Yao's fighting style was too familiar.
, so I can’t help but think too much.
"Uh... I just said that, didn't you all take it seriously?" General Cheng rubbed the back of his head, looking embarrassed.
Everyone turned away, too lazy to meet General Cheng.
Can this kind of thing be said casually?
If word spreads, it will destroy a top family in an instant. I don't see them all doubting it, but no one dares to say it out.
However, it is really pointless to argue with people like General Cheng, it will only make you angry to death.
Prince Pingxi brought the topic back and asked everyone to discuss how to deal with Feng Yao. Everyone's words were based on tactical considerations, but in the case of unequal forces, many tactical issues were completely impossible to achieve.
"Sijin, what do you think?" Prince Pingxi had no choice but to ask Feng Sijin, who had an exquisite mind.
Feng Sijin did not hide his clumsiness. When asked by Prince Pingxi, he said: "The plan that the official and the Prince mentioned before has been implemented. If there are no accidents, rumors will spread within Xihu in the next two days.
Yao is a rumor among us Daqin people. Coupled with General Cheng's words tonight, the effect will be even better."
The uninformed lieutenants were all confused when they heard Feng Sijin's words. Prince Pingxi didn't intend to tell them and only asked: "Will this affect the Feng family?"
If there were only rumors, it would be easy to talk about it, but with General Cheng's words, maybe the old emperor would also become suspicious.
"It doesn't matter, we can explain it to His Highness Qin later." Feng Sijin said lightly and calmly, but the amount of information in his words was very large.
Explaining to Qin Jiyan, rather than explaining to the old emperor, was obviously telling Prince Pingxi that he did not take the old emperor seriously and that there was no need to worry as Qin Jiyan protected the Feng family.
Prince Pingxi's expression changed slightly. He didn't understand why the cautious Feng family supported Qin Jiyan so clearly.
But if you don't understand and Gui doesn't understand, if Feng Sijin says it, Prince Pingxi will not object, "It's not good if you are sure, Sijin. I don't want the Feng family to be harmed because of this."
General Feng is guarding Northern Qi. If the old emperor becomes suspicious of the Feng family because of this matter, the border of Northern Qi will be in chaos, and then Great Qin will be in real danger.
"Don't worry, Prince. As long as His Royal Highness, the Emperor Taisun, finds the magic weapon, the situation will be reversed in an instant, and all problems will be solved naturally." Feng Sijin said calmly, seemingly giving a guarantee, but in fact there was no guarantee at all.
.
When the lieutenants heard Feng Sijin mention Qin Jiyan, they couldn't help but ask: "What is the magic weapon that His Highness found? Is it a weapon more powerful than gunpowder?"
"When will His Highness come back?"
"It's been more than ten days. If His Highness doesn't come back, we won't be able to hold on anymore."
"His Royal Highness didn't come, and the reinforcements didn't arrive either. What happened?"
"Could it be that His Highness knew that the reinforcements from the imperial court would not arrive so quickly, so he went looking for magic weapons?"
…
Feng Sijin announced to the public that Qin Jiyan was looking for a sharp weapon to defeat Xihu. It was a weapon as powerful as gunpowder. Once found, they would win this battle.
These false words gave Qin Jiyan a perfect explanation for his disappearance.
Feng Sijin was comforting the soldiers, but he didn't know that in the county town, the secret guards who couldn't find Qin Jiyan for a long time were going crazy. They even moved several times to send messages to Feng Sijin and Yan Qing, telling them that Qin Jiyan
News of Yan’s disappearance.
However, every time when he was about to send out, the hidden guard retreated.
They were afraid that once the news got out, Feng Sijin and Yan Qing would do something detrimental to His Highness in order to protect themselves.
What to do, what to do?
The secret guards are going crazy one by one.
Likewise, Mr. Feng in the capital is also going crazy!
In the face of national crisis, King Zhou and the fifth prince actually held back the rescue army for their own selfish interests...
