Five hundred and ninetieth chapters incompetent Qi Army
Capital City, Imperial Palace.
Su Lu was handling government affairs in the imperial study.
Su Yun carried little Su Yi into the royal study, and the elegant Li Qing followed slowly behind with the support of the female officer.
"If you send Zheng Chi to the southern border, I don't think he will learn to kill less people."
Su Yun complained. In the past few days, her staff office had received several military affairs documents. They all complained that Zheng Kai and Suharcha had interfered indiscriminately and killed many captives of the Tang army, which caused a commotion in the army and made Cao Cao
Hua was very angry.
Li Qing said later:
"Zheng Kai is a good general, but he is too cruel to his enemies. I think Xiaoyun is right. I'm afraid he will never learn to kill less in his lifetime."
After Su Lu finished processing a memorial, he threw it to a waiting female officer next to him, leaned back on his chair, and said with a smile:
"Who said I asked Zheng Kai to learn to kill less people?"
"When soldiers fight, there are some who don't kill. The only difference is between those who kill more and those who kill less."
"Cao Hua is one of the civil and military generals, and he is somewhat famous. But if it had been the same Su Ping in this battle, he would have reached the Tang capital long ago. Unfortunately, so far, the battle line is still divided.
In the Ting area, even Shangshan Jiedu Mansion was not completely occupied, why?"
"It's not that Cao Hua is too elegant and is not willing to die. He is not willing to kill his enemies indiscriminately. How can we move the battle forward in this way?"
"I asked Zheng Kai to go for a walk and learn from Cao Hua. It would not be a bad thing for him to kill less people. But if he kills too many people and develops a cruel and vicious temper, it would not be a good thing for him.
"
"On the other hand, let Cao Hua see that there is a reason why Zheng Kai is valued by me. The enemies who deserve to be killed must be killed."
Li Qing had already sat down on the couch brought by the two young eunuchs, with a look of sudden realization on his slightly rich cheeks.
"So that's it."
"It's a pity that General Cao Hua didn't understand what you meant. Will this battle continue to drag on?"
Li Qing was worried about the people. Although they had been recuperating in the past few years, people had begun to have surplus food in their homes, and their lives were getting better, but fighting a war would cost money, food, and people. If the war continued like this, it might be delayed for how long.
Su Lu sighed:
"Yes, Cao Hua still hasn't understood my thoughts, but it's okay. With Wang Si and Zhao Wu here, this battle won't drag on for long. They both also have aggressive tempers, and they might have been defeated by now.
Dongting Jiedufu army, the two of them will hunt for Shangshan Jiedufu."
…
Tang Dynasty, Dongting Jiedu Mansion.
The Qi army was stationed in Xiaocheng Mountain. It had been more than ten days since the last battle with the Tang army. The defeated Qi army still could not recover from the defeat.
In the central military tent, Wen Jing was handling military affairs. From time to time, he discussed with the military commanders nearby, and then put away the military affairs brochures one after another.
The general Zhao Chang, who was holding the Douchi in his arms, entered the Chinese military tent and threw the Douchi directly on the table, his face full of annoyance.
"No, no, no! I wonder if you can't say anything else except these few words!"
"How many days have passed since the war, and we haven't recovered yet. They are all useless."
Accompanied by such scoldings, a dozen captains and generals entered the camp and followed them like quails.
Wen Jing stood up, put down the military affairs booklet in his hand, then clenched his fists and said cheerfully:
"General, you can't blame the generals for this. The conditions of our soldiers are really poor. Apart from the baggage, all kinds of wounds and medicines are insufficient. It is no longer easy for the soldiers to survive until now without an outbreak of disease."
Zhao Chang looked ugly and sat down after Shuai Case.
What Wen Jing said is true, but what can be done about it? The officialdom in the country is corrupt and the armaments are lax. It is already good to have supplies of baggage and medicine for injuries. If you think about it more, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will not be able to do this.
prestige.
But this battle must be fought, otherwise how can we deal with the Gongun princes?
A messenger came in hastily, his face full of horror.
"General, the Han army has defeated the Tang army in a row. It has broken through Peng'an and driven the Tang army into our Qi territory."
The generals in the tent instantly became confused.
"What, drive the Tang army into our Qi territory, the Han army is too useless, we are allies."
"It is unbecoming of a man to preach against the Han army."
"I think this is a good thing. I ask the Han army to continue to penetrate into the middle of our country and completely defeat the Tang army. Maybe we can get some advantages."
Inside the Chinese army tent, there was chaos.
Zhao Chang and Wen Jing looked at each other and saw the worry in the other's eyes.
The Han army and the Tang army were about the same strength. If they fought on Tang's territory, it would only bring disaster to Tang. Now that they are on Qi's territory, they might be in trouble.
"Report"
The Chinese guards at the gate came in to report.
"The Han envoys came and said they had important military information."
Zhao Chang was stunned for a moment, but still waved his hand.
"Let him come in and see what's going on."
After a while, Wang Xiaoliu came in with an arrogant expression.
"General Zhao, my general has asked me to report that our army has defeated the Tang Army in Dongting. Some of the defeated Tang Army have retreated into your country. Please organize a clearing campaign as soon as possible."
Wen Jing asked strangely:
"Why, won't your army enter our country to pursue the Tang army?"
Wang Xiaoliu’s nostrils turned upward, Shi Shiran said:
"We, the Han, are a country of etiquette. Since we are allies with your country, we will not act treacherously. Our army will definitely not enter your country to suppress the Tang army."
A general said anxiously:
"What if our country asks your country to send troops to wipe out this defeated army?"
A trace of disgust flashed across Wang Xiaoliu's face when he heard this. He looked at the general who spoke and looked stunned:
"Invite our army to enter your country to clean up? This is a defeated army, and your army can't deal with it?"
"Shut up, everyone."
Zhao Chang stopped the general who was speaking, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.
This bunch of useless bastards, relying on their various backgrounds, did not take themselves seriously as the coach at all. There were all kinds of delays in fighting the war, and they pushed and pushed each other in the deployment of defense. Now they are thinking of using the Han army to eliminate them.
Trick.
They could wipe out the Tang army without even using a single soldier of their own, and maybe they would even be able to leave some baggage and horses. When they reported it to the court, it would be another great achievement for them.
After being stopped by Zhao Chang, the generals below stopped talking, but they were all filled with anger and grievances.
Xiaoliu didn't care. After reporting the news, he said goodbye and left the tent, took his soldiers with him, and prepared to return to Peng'an Camp to pay the order.
As soon as they left the camp, two Qi troops with bright uniforms stopped Xiaoliu and his party.
"General, stay here. My lord has something to discuss with the general."
Xiao Liu glanced at the Qi army blocking the road and raised his whip: "That's your general. I'm busy with affairs, so I can't wait impatiently."
The Qi army blocking the road hurriedly said: "My general will be here soon. General, please calm down. My general and the general have a friendly relationship."
Xiaoliu was confused. In one sentence, this sounds a bit knowledgeable.
When the general came out of the camp, a smile appeared on Xiaoliu's lips. Hey, the general actually said that these Qi troops really wanted to use their own Han troops to invade the Qi State and suppress them.
