147 Concentrate on Defeat
...
On the third day of August, Xu Chongming and Meng Gong each led their troops to Bingzhou and Li Suwen's troops to join, Jieshi and various troops to conquer the Shendu in one fell swoop and resumed the capital...
Before going to the expedition, Xinjun Wei Ran and Meng Gong had considerable differences on the strategic layout.
Wei Ran wanted to join Li Suwen and concentrate his troops to defeat Shendu first, so that all the soldiers and horses could submit to the people and the world would be stable.
Meng Gong's suggestion is almost 80% similar to the roundabout strategy proposed by Yuan Min to Li Suwen. He believed that Shendu was strictly guarded and advocated conquering Shengzhou and Ganzhou provinces first to cut off their retreat, forcing Gaomi to send the main force out of the capital to meet the enemy. At that time, the two armies of Li Suwen could divide their troops to take advantage of the situation to encircle and annihilate Gaomi Yousheng's army in one fell swoop. However, Shendu learned that the front army was frustrated, and would inevitably be in chaos...
Unfortunately, Wei Ran, who was eager to quickly defeat Shendu and established his orthodox status, did not adopt Meng Gong's proposal and appointed Li Suwen as Duke Zhenguo, and asked Xu Chongming as the commander and Meng Gong to lead a 70,000 army out of Lingwu to Bingzhou to join Li Suwen's troops, and then took down Shendu...
In desperation, Meng Gong could only follow Wei Ran's suggestion and go out with the army. He arrived in Bingzhou with Li Suwen and Yuan Min on the ninth day of the eighth month, and prepared to start his journey towards Shendu...
At this moment, Gao Mi, who learned that all the king-supporting troops were about to rush to the capital of the gods, immediately convened a plan to fight against the enemy in the side room of Taiji Hall.
Although Gaomi was a warlord, he had not lost his eyes by power since he took down the gods and occupied the capital and established the Daqi area.
When he occupied the capital of Shendu, he strictly restricted his subordinates from plundering the people, nor did he slaughter the royal family members who had not yet escaped. He just put them under house arrest in his own house, including Li Suwen's wife Wei Ying, who was so kind and righteous.
Since ascending the throne, he has reduced taxes from the people, implemented benevolent policies, and abandoned all illegal corrupt officials in the streets. He soon gained support from the people and established a foothold in the capital...
However, when the situation was most beneficial to him, Gaomi made a mistake. He did not pursue Wei Zhen, who fled to Shu, and did not continue to expand the fruits of victory. Instead, he gradually changed the strategic center of the Qi army from offense to defense.
This mistake gave the world-class families of the Great Zhou Dynasty a breathing time. Until Wei Ran ascended the throne and responded, the situation became very serious against the Great Qi...
However, for Gaomi, who was fighting on the battlefield, this situation did not panic, but quickly organized troops to start a counterattack.
"Jingchu Xue Chengzong, Taizhou Gu Zhaoliang, Lingwu Xu Chongming, Yongzhou Li Suwen and Shangling Pei Ji, haha, all are here, okay, I am very pleased with such a big show~"
Gao Mi looked at the urgent reports sent by all parties, but the calmness on her face surprised the generals present.
"So, how should I defeat the enemy?" Gaomi asked softly after a long time.
When Pan Yuanhua, who was named General, heard this, he immediately stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, the enemy's army is powerful, so it is better to shrink the front line to consolidate the capital and important areas!"
Gao Mi shook her head and said, "No, blindly defending will only give the enemy an opportunity. I plan to break through all the enemy troops and disrupt the Zhou army's encirclement..."
Gao Xiang asked, "Then Father, which one do you plan to break the first?"
Gao Mi sneered and said, "Of course I should pick up soft persimmons first to strengthen our army's morale and courage. I will take the Taizhou army to attack. Nouveau riche like Gu Zhaoliang is completely unaware of the army. Can he lead a 120,000 army? It's really shameful..."
"I am willing to go and stop Gu Zhaoliang's troops!" Pan Yuanhua immediately left the line and asked for a station.
Gao Mi nodded: "Then I will give you a 70,000 army. Remember, after defeating Gu Zhaoliang's troops, quickly encircle and detour to Shengzhou to strengthen the defense and strictly prevent Xue Chengzong from attacking..."
Pan Yuanhua loudly said, "Abide by the order~"
Gao Mi said in a deep voice: "Gao Xiang~"
Gao Xiang came out and said, "My son is here~"
Gao Mi said: "You immediately lead 200,000 troops to defend Fulong Pass to resist Li Suwen and Xu Chongming's troops. Remember, no matter what, you cannot go out of the pass and fight with the enemy..."
Gao Xiang shouted: "My son obeys the order!"
Gaomi continued: "The other generals, please defend their respective counties and do not give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of..."
Upon hearing this, the general shouted loudly: "The last general obeys the order~"
Gao Mi nodded: "I will feel at ease in this way. After this crisis, I will gather troops and lead troops to attack Lingwu and capture Wei Ran alive!"
Gao Xiang asked in a low voice after hearing this, "Father, the information shows that there are still two large troops in which there are no movements, which seems very abnormal..."
Gao Mi nodded and said, "Yes, the Jiang family in the south and Liu Ce from the Far East seem to have no response. If either of them joins the battle, then I, Daqi, will be in a state of turmoil.
I hope they don’t make any moves, otherwise this battle will be extremely difficult to fight..."
...
Xuanfu City, Bingzhou, where Li Suwen's army was resettled...
"Help~"
"Don't come here~"
"Daughter, my daughter~"
The military discipline of the Xia cavalry hired by Li Suwen was extremely corrupt. After entering Xuancheng for a while, he could no longer help but live a boring life and began to indulge in the city.
These barbaric aliens broke through the house and took away all visible wealth. After seeing the slightly beautiful woman, the green light of beasts immediately popped up in her eyes and rushed forward.
The whole city was wailing everywhere, and the sound of people crying and aliens laughing everywhere, full of despair...
The soldiers of Yongzhou watched the barbaric aliens commit murders everywhere, watching them take away the wealth accumulated by the people, and then watched them carry a weak girl's body and laugh and leave with no intention of stopping them...
Even Li Suwen turned a blind eye to this. What can these soldiers do? What's more, these Xia soldiers are now "friendly troops", so how dare they stop them?
"Hey~ you guys~"
At this time, a foreign general with a beard surrounded by a group of companions, carried a thin girl in clothes to the front of several Yongzhou soldiers standing at the intersection of the street, pointed to the girl on her shoulder and greeted them with a smile.
"This woman is very good, we are friends, should, share, you guys, come first, let's watch, together, how..."
The Hu people's blunt language still expresses their meaning very clearly, which is simple and crude...
After the Hu man finished speaking, he put the girl down from his shoulder. The girl hugged her knees with her hands and curled up on the ground with tears in her face. Her body was trembling because of fear and fear...
"Well……"
The soldiers of Yongzhou soldiers looked at the delicate girl, and their mouths made a sound of swallowing saliva from time to time, and their expressions began to change slowly...
The continuous fighting with the Qi army was under great pressure and they were urgently needed to find a place to vent. Now these "friendly troops" are so generous, there seems to be no reason to refuse...
"Everyone, my brothers, please... please... be fine... let me go back, I... I'm still young... only fifteen years old..."
The girl's crying begged to temporarily suppress the dirty thoughts of these Yongzhou soldiers. Seeing the girl's pitiful appearance, I couldn't bear it for a moment...
After all, they are also human beings, and that girl is also a citizen of the Great Zhou...
Seeing that the Yongzhou army was not understanding for a long time, the Hu general asked with a smile: "Hey, why don't you do it? It's okay, we are really happy to share it with you. Can't you, the men in the Central Plains, not..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The words of the Hu general immediately attracted fierce ridicule from his companions around him...
This made these soldiers very angry. The pity for the girl quickly turned into a bubble, leaving only a hot gaze on the "prey" in front of them...
The girl was obviously very scared and filled with despair. She watched more than a dozen soldiers surrounding her, so scared that she was about to burst into tears...
"Bang~"
“Ah~”
At this moment, a loud noise, a Hu man with jewelry was overturned to the ground screaming, which immediately attracted the attention of the Hu people and Yongzhou soldiers here, and they all looked back.
I saw a group of soldiers, led by a young general, beating the alien soldiers who were committing murder in the street without saying a word, holding weapons, and beating them so hard that they cried and called their parents, leaving their women and wealth behind, and fleeing all the way.
The Hu general with a beard frowned and stopped paying attention to the girl. He immediately took his own team of people to face him and confronted them two steps away.
The Hu people shouted loudly to the young general in Hu language: "Who are you? Don't you know we are friendly troops invited by your son-in-law? If you dare to be disrespectful to friendly troops, aren't you afraid of losing your head!"
The young general curled his lips and looked at the Hu man coldly and replied proudly in Hu language: "Meng Gong, the last general, came here to join General Li on the order of my emperor. Since you are friendly troops, why do you want to commit murder and robbery in this city?
This is my territory in Dazhou. Where did you get the courage to do such a crime? Immediately restrain your subordinates to stop this behavior and release all the plundered wealth and the people, otherwise you will regret it!"
Upon hearing this, the Hu general glared and pointed at Meng Gong and shouted loudly: "You Marquis of Liang dared not care about what we did. Why should you, a yellow-haired boy, meddling in other people's business?
Now, immediately kneel down and kowtow to me and admit my mistake. I may be able to let you go, otherwise I will tell you the Marquis of Zhenliang to see how he can spare you!”
When Meng Gong heard this, he snorted lightly, then pinched his wrist, and his eyes instantly turned: "Brothers, my Pingjing Army is the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Do you still remember what the emperor said when he formed us!"
"Put down the thieves for the country and protect the family and the safety of the family!"
When two hundred people heard this, they shouted in unison, saying that they had no fear of these Hu people. The so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, probably the newly formed Pingjing Army in front of them is the newly formed Pingjing Army.
Meng Gong said: "What should we do now that these barbarians dare to do evil in our Great Zhou territory?"
"Beat him~"
"What are you waiting for? Fight~~"
“Ha~”
With Meng Gong's order, the whole scene was in a mess in an instant, and more than 200 people rushed over to the dozen Hu people.
