Chapter 1008 Cutting and Plotting and Fighting

The battle lasted until dawn, and less than 10,000 Rong Mi troops under the leadership of Perry broke south and cleaned up the battlefield, and the Rong Mi army was killed more than 6,000 people, more than 12,000 prisoners, and countless horses, ordnance, grain and grass were left behind.

Jiang Anyi and Yang Siqi met in Hu Rui's royal tent, and the two began to talk about the distribution of materials in a few cold words. Jiang Anyi thought that the Rong Mi army was mainly defeated by the Zheng army, and the Great Qi army was just beating the side drum, and the spoils should be eighty-two points, while Yang Siqi believed that the Zheng army and the Rong Mi army were in trouble, and if it were not for the Great Qi army, they were likely to be defeated, so the spoils were at least five or five points.

The differences between the two sides were too great, until He Xigui led 10,000 Zheng troops to Yuantong City, and the talks between the two sides were not over, but the news of Zheng's army breaking the Rong Mi army spread quickly throughout the Western Regions.

Huli country, the national capital of Fanluo City, because there are many Bodhi trees in the city, it is called Buddha Wood City by Zheng Shang. Nearly fifty years old and succeeded to the throne ten years ago, the lord of Hugh Li, Foyt, was peaceful, generous, and did not like to fight, and had little interest in invading Zheng.

In the palace of the royal court, the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Rong Mi Kingdom were defeated, and the news that the 5,000 heavy cavalry that had been carefully built was killed and wounded came, and the generals who fought the main battle were so shocked that they opened their mouths. Xiuli and Rong Mi are both powerful countries in the Western Regions, but in terms of strength, Rong Mi is stronger than Xiuli Country, and Xiuli Country is also secretly building heavy horses, but the number is only 2,000 people.

The appearance of Zheng Jun's new armament sparked a heated debate, and Fuyit slapped the table heavily and said, "Zheng Jun defeated Rong Miguo, I estimate that we will soon use troops against Xiu Li, you should think about how to deal with it." ”

Thinking of facing Zheng Jun's unpredictable fire bombs, the hall suddenly became a lot quieter, and Fuyit was bored in his heart, these people were noisy in his ears on weekdays, and they wanted to step on this and destroy that, and when they encountered strong enemies, they became turtles with shrunken heads one by one.

His eyes fell on Minister of State Lyloze, and Voyter asked, "Lyloze, what do you think should be done?" ”

Lelozer is also a Lord-peace faction, advocating that efforts should be made to govern the country well. Hearing the lord of the country ask him, Lai Luoze bowed and saluted: "King, in the past few years, the Western Regions coalition army has frequently advanced eastward, and Zheng Guo is overwhelmed. The purpose of the minister's view of Zheng Guo was not to occupy the territory of our Western Regions, but only to weaken the power of our Western Regions, so the minister suggested sending an envoy to Zheng Guo to sue for peace. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall, and the general Novis roared angrily: "Surrender before fighting, lose power and humiliate the country, I oppose peace." ”

"Fight with the Zheng army", "sweep the Zheng army, counterattack Huazhou", the roar of war resounded, and the hall was "buzzing".

Lelozer did not show weakness, and said coldly: "General, it is easy to fight, if you are defeated, how will it end?" When the time comes, if you want to make peace, I am afraid that the Zheng people will ask for it. And Hugh Li only has 120,000 soldiers and horses, Shasu Qianglan border is restless, 40,000 horses are needed to guard, want to fight with the Zheng army, at most 50,000 soldiers and horses, the general thinks that Hugh Li's 50,000 soldiers and horses can beat Rong Mi's 50,000 people? This time, the four major guards of Rong Miguo dispatched three, and there were 5,000 heavy cavalry, and they were still defeated in the hands of Zheng Jun, the general can be sure to defeat the Zheng army, if the general is sure to defeat the Zheng army, I naturally agree with the general to send troops. Which general can win the Zheng army, you might as well ask the lord of the country to fight, don't worry about money and food, I will fully support it. ”

Novis was dumbfounded, if Zheng Jun didn't have a fire bomb, he would have wanted to try, but the appearance of the fire bomb changed the situation on the battlefield, and Novis didn't dare to take the risk. The noisy generals in the hall also fell silent one by one.

Fuyit spoke: "In this case, how to save strength, the city of my Xiuli country is strong, as long as the city is defended, it will be difficult for the Zheng army to break through." There is still a month and a half before the Mid-Autumn Festival of the Zheng people, Cali, you lead the team to the capital of Zheng Guoguo, and present gifts to Emperor Zheng to congratulate the festival, and say that Huli Guo is willing to serve Zheng Guo as the suzerain. ”

Novis opened his mouth, but without saying anything in disagreement, he snorted heavily.

The night was dark, Yang Siqi stood at the head of the Yuan Tongcheng and looked at the Zheng army camp outside the city, the battalion of 20,000 soldiers and horses blocked the east side of the Yuan Tongcheng tightly, and the business travelers through the Yuan Tongcheng in the past two days were much less.

Ren Qiang said angrily: "This Jiang Anyi is too domineering, it is clear that he wants to block the traffic in the same city of Yuan, the negotiation is not to give an inch, handsome, in my opinion, we might as well mobilize troops and horses to fight with Zheng Jun, Zheng Jun came from afar, it is difficult to supply, it is impossible to be here for a long time." ”

Yang Siqi said with a serious face: "This meeting with Jiang Anyi, I found that he has changed a lot, Jiang Anyi used to be called a gentle gentleman, but this time I felt that he was sharp, and he became aggressive after the big victory over Rong Mi's army." Alas, our Great Qi State is weak and weak, and I can't compete with Zheng Guo, so it seems that this negotiation can only suffer some losses. Zheng Guo's treasury was empty, and Jiang Anyi's purpose of the expedition was mainly for property, so he might as well exchange more gold and silver with him for supplies. ”

At the price of four million taels of silver, more than 12,000 prisoners, as well as ordnance, grain and grass and other materials were returned to the Great Qi State, Jiang Anyi got 5,000 war horses, and returned to Xiaozhen with soldiers and horses to rest, and the war ended temporarily.

However, the turmoil has just begun. Watching Zheng Jun pull out the village and leave, Yang Siqi said: "Since Jiang Anyi passed through Liuhua Prefecture, the threat to the Western Regions has become greater and greater, and the Great Qi State is the sworn enemy of the Zheng State, and the Zheng Army will have to fight with the Great Qi State sooner or later." ”

Zhang Tiangang said: "Xiangshuai, do you want to take someone to rob halfway." ”

"Go to the army to fight, then to fight the enemy, then to attack the army, and then attack the city", Yang Siqi said with a smile: "You can't blindly use force to deal with Jiang Anyi, Zheng Guotianzi has talents and can't use it, I heard that he is quite jealous of Jiang Anyi, but he just wants to borrow Jiang Anyi to collect money for him." At the beginning of this summer, Zheng Guo promulgated a number of new policies, and I heard that they have achieved remarkable results. ”

Although the Great Qi State was founded in the Western Regions, Yang Siqi attached great importance to Zheng Guo's intelligence work, and it can be said that the turmoil in Zheng Guo soon had spy reports reported to him. Emperor Zheng promulgated the monopoly of wine and tea, the renting of official land, the increase of commercial taxes, and the encouragement of donations, and collected 30 million taels of silver in just three months, which can be described as a powerful medicine. However, there are naturally side effects at the same time as the silver is put into storage, the merchants in Zheng Guo are complaining for days, the price of wine and tea has risen, and the army is full of young masters and soldiers who donate as officials, etc., and the good and bad will not be known for a while.

With the silver in the treasury, Emperor Zheng's reliance on Jiang Anyi became lighter, and Yang Siqi said confidently: "Contact the eyes and ears of Beijing, let them blow the wind for Jiang Anyi, and let Emperor Zheng help us and get this eye-asser away." ”

The Yuan Tianjiao has been deeply cultivated in Zheng Guo for many years, and there are also their people among the officials in the court, so it is time to use it.

Rong Mi country, the city of luxury. Of the 50,000 soldiers who went out to fight, only more than 13,000 returned, and most of them were the elite of the Rong Mi country. Bad news kept coming, Wang Shuhu snared a group of people to jump up and down, accusing him of being reckless, so that the people's livelihood withered and the national strength weakened, and he wanted to depose him as the lord of the country and choose a new one.

Hu Rui knew that this crisis could really threaten his throne, so he decided to return to the national capital, Crescent City, with his illness. Halfway through, he received news that the Jinhu general Xipa, who was stationed in the national capital, welcomed Wang Shuhu to become the lord, and Hudang announced that he would succeed to the throne of the country and reward the ministers.

Hu Rui was shocked, and hurriedly retreated to the important town of Gujia City in the west, and summoned the old army to conquer the traitor Hudang. The 52 important towns of Rongmi Kingdom are divided into two, and there are 18 important towns in the east and north of Hudang, including the national capital Xinyue City, while 24 cities are still dominated by Hurui, and the attitude of 10 important towns is unknown.

When the news reached Xiaozhen, Jiang Anyi smiled at Zhang Keji and said: "As Mr. expected, Rong Mi has no more domestic fighting, and there is no more strength to go east. ”

The Great Qi State and the Tian Wei State took advantage of the internal strife in Rong Mi and each seized two cities from the Rong Mi State, and the Great Qi State added Jinsha City and Wangjing City. The two cities captured by the Great Qi State were both under the jurisdiction of Hu Rui, and the news was quickly reported to Youzi City, where Hu Rui temporarily lived.

Youzi City is the third largest city in the Rongmi Kingdom, where Hurui built a summer palace, and now the palace has become a temporary royal palace. An illness made Hu Rui thin, his cheeks sunken, but his eyes were as aggressive as eagle's eyes.

Rong Mi was actually divided into two, less than 100,000 soldiers and horses supported him, and the strength of Wang Shuhudang was almost the same, there were several battles between the two, there were casualties among each other, Tian Wei and Daqi took the city for the chaos, Hu Rui and Hudang both ceased without fighting, and unanimously dealt with foreign aggression.

Among the six golden protector generals, Pyros, Chikouzhe, Perry and Pylos followed Hu Rui, but after experiencing the rebellion of his cronies Hippa, Hu Rui was full of wariness of the four golden protector generals around him, Pylos was close to Hippa, first of all, he did not believe, and this defeat needed a scapegoat, Pyros was demoted to the silver protector general, and it was Chikouzhe and Perry who were in charge of the soldiers and horses.

A group of courtiers came to defect in the national capital Crescent City, set up a civil and military team of the court, and discussed politics today to discuss how to deal with the attack of the Great Qi State. For the practice of inserting a knife in the back of the Great Qi State, Hu Rui hated it to the bone, but now is not the time to fight with the Great Qi State, so this evil breath can only be endured first. Hu Rui ordered Perry to command 30,000 troops to go to the north to defend the town, and the veteran general's worries in the Great Qi Kingdom could be solved.

Hu Rui said: "Rong Miguo's vitality is greatly damaged, which is the crime of this king. At present, the top priority is to send people to Zheng Guoguo to sue for peace, and Rong Miguo is willing to serve Zheng Guo as the suzerain, and ask the suzerainty to send troops to help me sweep away the rebellion, and use the hands of Zheng Jun to quell the rebellion of the tiger. ”

In August, the temperature of the Gobi in the Western Regions dropped, Jiang Anyi led the soldiers and horses back to Guannei, which lasted for three months, and the Zheng army crippled the Rong Mi Kingdom, controlled the Gobi in their hands, and won the first battle. For more than 100 years, Huazhou has been bullied by the countries of the Western Regions, how many people have been ruined, wives and wives have been separated, and the days of such passive beatings are gone.

Jiang Anyi jumped off the horse, helped up the kneeling old man, took the victory wine and drank it all, and said loudly to the people who were full of joy: "As an official, it is the responsibility to defend the land, Jiang is fortunate to be in charge of Huazhou, and he should protect his father and elders." Jiang swore to all the fathers and elders that as long as Jiang was in Huazhou for one day, the people of the Western Regions would never be able to step into the Guannei. ”

"Long live, long live", the cheers came and went, and no one noticed that above the teahouse, a pair of cold eyes were watching the jubilant scene.
