Chapter 89: Don't Panic, I Still Have a Secret Weapon
It seems to be a false alarm, but in fact, there are endless troubles.
Chen Ziqian can be regarded as a long insight.
The shadow of a person's famous tree, a real celebrity like Jing Ce Nian, is equivalent to those modern traffic niches, and any little wind and grass may cause huge waves.
And this time things seem to be ordinary, but in fact, Jing Ce Nian lost the battle and suffered a big loss, and this alone is enough for him to be on the hot search.
Although Chen Ziqian was not happy, this popularity was real.
And if someone like him is not famous, he will definitely have to be picked up by someone for the eighteen generations of his ancestors afterwards, or even by someone.
There is also cyberbullying in feudal society, and Jing Ce Nian used this thing as a weapon to roast him on the fire.
Of course, there are two sides to everything, and being famous isn't entirely without its benefits.
The world will not only see his ambitious side, but will also see his potential to a greater or lesser extent, and it is unknown whether he can attract some famous ministers and martial artists to invest in the future.
But it's a pity that the timing of this fame is not right, there are too few soldiers and horses, and with this strength, it is not an exaggeration to say that virtue is not worthy.
And this determines that the impact of this incident will inevitably do more harm than good.
Chen Ziqian looked bitter.
As the old saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and the butcher's knife is afraid that it will fall soon, right?
Lin Xiaodao, who returned to the city, saw Chen Ziqian's ugly face, and asked puzzledly: "The army has withdrawn, why is the lord still worried?" ”
"Yes, my lord, Mr. Jing is a great talent, if he can be praised by Mr. Jing, the name of the lord will be spread all over the world." Gan Youzhi is also happy, few people may know Jing Ce Nian, but the name of Jing Ce Nian is familiar to everyone.
Just like the pillars of several other factions, but whoever leads troops to fight, who doesn't know and who doesn't?
Bai Changxing also smiled happily: "This time we won without a fight, we should celebrate." ”
"Yes, yes, this official has already prepared a banquet, since the war is over, why don't you gather at the house?" Zhang Tong was also excited, no matter what, Hemen was saved anyway, and it was worth having a good banquet just by virtue of this.
Chen Ziqian was also speechless at these people, sighed and said: "It's okay, it's so far, you can't treat yourself badly, Xiaodao, you work hard tonight, take the team back to the camp in batches to eat, and send scouts to keep an eye on Jing Cenian and Zeng Yuanqi, but if there is any change, I will report it immediately." ”
"Don't worry, my lord, nothing can go wrong." Lin Xiaodao arched his hand and said quite confidently.
This time, he was also in the limelight, single-handedly overthrowing three enemy generals in front of the battle, and spreading it was enough for him to be famous all over the world.
Chen Ziqian nodded, it was still very reassuring to hand over such a thing as commanding soldiers and horses to Lin Xiaodao.
At the moment, the whole army is tired and can't do anything, and a good night's rest is the first thing.
The war is far from over, Zeng Yuanqi first lost Yong'an, and then the camp was bombed, and suffered heavy losses one after another, and now he is angry and angry, but he can do anything.
Moreover, although Jing Ce Nian withdrew from the army on the surface, his intention was clear, and the representative of Tongzhou Assassin Shi came to recover Lelin and Pingyong, and now he is just giving up Hemen County, which does not mean that the matter is over.
How to deal with it next still needs to be well planned, these county orders under his hands can't be counted on, Chen Ziqian followed Zhang Tong and them to the banquet, and simply filled his stomach and returned to the camp.
Bai Changxing didn't leave, they have been sleeping in the open in the past month, they have long had enough, and it is rare to have the opportunity to indulge in pleasure, so they naturally want to have fun.
Chen Ziqian didn't restrain them, anyway, the military power has been handed over, these people are now hanging a false title, and it is cumbersome to carry it with them, so it is better to let them play by themselves.
In the tent, the candle flame was flickering, and Chen Ziqian did not leave him, accompanied by Gan Youzhi, to formulate a follow-up strategic plan together.
There were several pieces of information piled up on the desk, all of which had been sent back by the scouts overnight.
Among them, after Jing Ce Nian withdrew his troops, he returned to Bianqiu County and stationed there, and there were no further measures, and he didn't even have the intention of going to join Lelin Taishou, and he didn't know what wishful thinking he was making.
Zeng Yuanqi's side was quite lively, Han Sheng had already regathered his troops and horses, and there were still 15,000 troops, and he had already come straight to Hemen.
In addition, Zeng Yuanqi's 20,000 elites stationed in Peilai have also been dispatched, and the main general is Zeng Yuanqi's younger brother Zeng Yuanguang, and it is expected that Han Sheng's troops will be able to arrive at Hemen City after dawn, and Peilai's 20,000 troops can also join him in two days.
In addition, Zeng Yuanqi has also ordered Le Jinghui to lead 40,000 horses to retreat to Pingyong, obviously unable to continue to attack Lelin, and is ready to fight back with all his strength to sort out the internal turmoil.
Chen Ziqian's side is relatively calm, Yong'an's side is temporarily stable, Luo Taibai and Fang Changping have completely controlled the situation in Yong'an, and have surrendered and incorporated more than 3,000 people such as Yong'an's remnants and criminals, and now the number of troops has increased to 12,000, it is still easy to do something.
To be honest, now that Tongzhou Thorn Shi has intervened, Chen Ziqian really doesn't want to accompany Zeng Yuanqi to spend blindly.
If you can, let Le Jinghui lead the troops to take a detour, withdraw to the side of Hemen to converge, and then fight Changchuan together, and it is safest to directly lead the army back to Yong'an.
But now that Jing Ce is stuck in the border hills, Le Jinghui can't be withdrawn if he wants to retreat, once he gives up Guanxian and makes a detour to Hemen, Le Jinghui will be attacked, and 40,000 horses may be eaten in an instant.
It is also not appropriate to withdraw to Pingyong, Zeng Yuanqi is now in urgent need of soldiers and horses, and 40,000 soldiers and horses will be divided by Zeng Yuanqi if they withdraw to Pingyong, which will only fuel Zeng Yuanqi's strength.
The only way is to let Le Jinghui take Guanxian, so that he can resist the attack of Le Lin's troops, and threaten Pingyong at all times, forcing Zeng Yuanqi not to dare to move with all his strength.
This will be a protracted war, what is fought is the consumption of the foundation, Chen Ziqian is now divided into three ways, and the consumption will definitely not be able to consume Zeng Yuanqi, and the Hemen side alone can only barely maintain for more than a month, and it will be chaotic after a long time.
It is even more difficult on the Guanxian side, the abdomen and back are under the enemy, the wind and rain are in danger, the longer it takes there, the faster it will die, and you must find a way to find a breakthrough.
After Gan Youzhi sorted out all the information, he opened his mouth and said: "My subordinates think that we can take advantage of the emptiness of Peilai's troops and let General Fang lead his troops to take this city first, and then wave his troops to Hemen and eat Zeng Yuanqi's more than 30,000 horses in one fell swoop. ”
"Although Peilai has an empty army, its geographical location is close to Ningyun Changchuan, even if we can take Peilai, it is not good to continue to wave troops to Hemen, and when the time comes, we will be trapped in it, and we will be more passive." Chen Ziqian shook his head and vetoed the strategy.
"But if we don't do something, when Zeng Yuanguang and 20,000 horses join Han Sheng, then we will be in danger of being attacked by the enemy, after all, Jing Cenian's 30,000 soldiers and horses are still eyeing Bianqiu County, and we must be guarded."
"Jing Ce Nian is really troublesome in the back, but Yong'an's side must not hit Peilai first, it is a waste of vitality." Chen Ziqian thought for a while and said: "Zeng Yuanqi has garrisoned 10,000 soldiers and horses in Changchuan, if you want to get rid of the current passive situation as soon as possible, you must let Luo Taibai send troops to attack Changchuan, and open up this front so that we can echo Yong'an and have the initiative to seize Peilai." ”
"But Changchuan City Defense is strong, Zeng Yuan used the main force of 50,000 horses to attack Changchuan at the beginning, and our troops in Yong'an add up to only 12,000, and all of them may not be able to capture Changchuan, not to mention that Yong'an is impossible to pull out all the troops." Gan Youzhi had a sad face, and asked Luo Taibai and them to attack Chang Chuan, which was like hitting a stone with an egg.
Chen Ziqian grinned and said, "That's not necessarily, Lao Tzu still has a secret weapon in his hand!" ”
