Qin County is Wu Mingche's hometown, which is one of the reasons why Wu Mingche was bent on taking Qin County as soon as possible, although it is now a full two months to recover Qin County, but during this period, the siege of Qin County was used to attract and block reinforcements, and the main force of the Qi army led by Wei Pohu was completely defeated.

Chen Xu issued an edict to the local officials of Qin County, prepare pigs, cattle, sheep and other livestock for sacrifice, and then collectively go to Wu Mingche's family ancestral hall and ancestral tomb to worship, in the accompanying civil and military ceremonial guards, there are many flags decorated with bird feathers, colorful flags flying, gongs and drums are noisy, and the whole worship ceremony is very grand and grand! There is a big man in his hometown, which makes Wu Mingche's fellow villagers feel very honored.

That night, in front of the Wu family ancestral hall in Qin County, Wu Mingche held a feast, and all the generals raised their glasses to Wu Mingche to congratulate: "Congratulations to the governor, return to his hometown with fine clothes, and return with glory!" ”

"The old man has the honor of mercy, and it all depends on the generals to work together to defeat the Qi army! I toast you! Wu Mingche drank a glass and continued: "Wu has followed the first emperor to fight in the south and the north for more than 20 years, and has left his hometown for more than ten years. Over, Wu Mingche toasted again.

"Although we have recovered several cities in Qin County and Huainan, this is only the first step in our great Northern Expedition! There are still many places in Huainan that are still under the control of the Qi State, and tens of thousands of Qi troops are still stationed in Xuyi, Xuzhou and other places! I hope that all the generals will not take it lightly, and in the future, they will work together to expel the Qi army and recover the Central Plains! Wu Mingche said impassionedly.

"The last general will definitely follow the governor and work together to expel the Qi army and recover the Central Plains!" Everyone raised their glasses again and shouted in unison.

。。。。。。

The victorious Chen army held a feast on the side of Qin County to reward the three armies, while Wang Lin, who fled back to Xuzhou alone, could only discuss countermeasures with Gao Changgong with a sad face.

"I can't imagine that my 30,000 Great Qi soldiers were brought into such a situation of annihilation by the mediocre general Wei Pohu! It's hateful, I really wish I could put on my armor and fight to the death with the Chen army, even if I die on the battlefield, it's better than watching the army being defeated by the Chen army and being powerless! Gao Changgong said sadly.

"Captain don't have to be so indignant! Although our army was defeated, this was only the first battle in the war, the Chen army only took Qinjun and Liyang a few cities along the Yangtze River, don't Huaibei is still in our hands, even Huainan, we still have Xuyi, Shouyang several important towns! In these cities, there are still many of our soldiers who are ready to defend the city and resist the Chen army, as long as we can mobilize troops and go south to rescue, we will definitely be able to defeat the Chen army and drive them back to Jiangnan! Wang Lin cheered Gao Changgong up.

"The problem is, we don't have the extra troops on hand now to form reinforcements and go south to rescue all places! Even if we can recruit new recruits and form reinforcements in a short period of time, according to what you just said, in addition to those invincible firearms called muskets and artillery, there is also a magical weapon that can descend and explode in an instant! In the face of this kind of weapon, even Wei Pohu, a veteran who has seen blood and killed people for a long time, was so frightened that he fled from the battle, let alone these recruits! When the time comes, how will you make them dare to go forward and fight against Chen's army? Gao Changgong was a little discouraged.

"Alas, this defeat is indeed because we don't know enough about Chen's army, and we always think that they are still like more than ten years ago, they will only use warships and sailors to fight, as long as they get off the ship, we can easily defeat them by sending cavalry to attack! Hehe, I can't imagine that they have these powerful weapons, and even the heavy armored cavalry under our reputation can only be like mustard in front of them, and they are vulnerable! The light cavalry was completely wiped out, and they took a lot of war horses! In the end, we were in turn and were chased for dozens of miles by the cavalry team they formed with the seized war horses, what an irony! Wang Lin remembered that he was chased by Huang Wenyuan for dozens of miles, and finally relied on a group of his old subordinates to desperately drag them to get out, and couldn't help but laugh bitterly and laugh at himself.

"So this son named Xiao Yao and his infantry battalion are a decisive and crucial factor in our battle against Chen's army! With them, even if we send ten times more troops than Chen's army, we won't dare to win! Therefore, if we want to resist Chen's army and continue to advance north, we must find a way to get rid of this Xiao Yao and his infantry battalion! Gao Changgong said fiercely.

"In the Battle of Shiliang City, I saw that although Xiao Yao was young, he was brave and strategic, and he dared to provoke in front of the battle with only thirty people, lured General Changsun out of the battle, and brought them into the heavily guarded formation of the Chen army, and finally was surrounded and killed, and 10,000 cavalry were annihilated! What's more, they still have those powerful firearms, and it is not easy to get rid of him on the battlefield! Wang Lin remembered that the eldest grandson Hongluo led 10,000 cavalry to chase and kill Xiao Yao, but was killed in the end, and he couldn't help but feel palpitations.

"So to get rid of this cunning and treacherous Xiao Yao, we can't deal with him on the battlefield openly, we can only use the hands of others to get rid of him for us!" Gao Changgong showed a sneer.

"What does Taiwei mean that he has enemies in the Chen Kingdom?" Wang Lin asked.

"Because of the birth of this Xiao Yao, in just two months, our Qi army has been defeated, and we must know ourselves and the enemy when marching to fight, so I specially sent a lot of fine works to Jinling to inquire about the detailed information of this Xiao Yao! It turned out to be surprisingly smooth, and we were able to gather a lot of information about him with ease! One of the most critical is that this Xiao Yao is the sworn enemy of Chen Shubao, the prince of Chen State! "High and long merit is like a treasure.

"Before, this Xiao Yao is the brother of Chen Shuling, the king of Chen Guoxing, and this Chen Shuling is an ambitious person who wants to compete with Chen Shubao for the throne, so it is not surprising that Uncle Chen regards Xiao Yao as a mortal enemy!" Wang Lin also thought of the relationship.

"That's right! Not only that, but this Xiao Yao's general trading house is even more against Yinhai Commercial Bank, which has Chen Shubao's background, attacking each other and competing with each other! So in the eyes of Chen Shubao, this Xiao Yao must also be a person who must be eliminated! Gao Changgong analyzed.

"But this Xiao Yao and his infantry battalion are now the main force in the hands of Chen Jun, and in the future, Chen Jun will fight with us, and this Xiao Yao will definitely play a greater role! I believe that even if this Prince Chen Guo hates Xiao Yao again, he will not do these things to destroy the Great Wall, right? Wang Lin wondered.

"General Wang, as a military general, is a person who acts in a bright and upright manner, of course he will not understand the psychology of these people who are in the court, fighting for power and profit, and deceitful people! In order to burn the supreme position, father and son can kill each other, and brothers can kill each other! A lieutenant in the army, as long as the time comes, even if this Xiao Yao has great ability, has world-class military exploits, and has an irreplaceable role in Chen's army, Chen Shubao will definitely kill Xiao Yao without hesitation! Gao Changgong said excitedly.

Because he was born in the Gao royal family where these brothers killed each other, for decades, starting with his father, he has often seen the tragedy of his younger brother killing his brother's son and seizing the throne! He knows best about those who compete for the throne by unscrupulous means, so he believes that Xiao Yao, who is under Chen Shuling, must be an obstacle to Chen Shubao's ascension to the throne, and as Xiao Yao makes more and more military exploits and rises step by step in his position of power, Chen Shubao will become more and more jealous of Xiao Yao, and finally will do everything to get rid of Xiao Yao!

Wang Lin also thought of Gao Changgong's experience, so he could only change the topic and ask: "Then how can the Taiwei use the hand of Prince Chen Guo to get rid of Xiao Yao's big trouble for us?" ”

"This kind of thing is not urgent, it must be kept absolutely secret, and as the commander of the Qi army, I have to contact the prince of Chen Guo in private, this is a felony of fornicating with foreign enemies, so I must choose a suitable time to act!" Gao Changgong said cautiously, but there was a strong killing intent in his eyes!
