Chapter 53: The Storm is Coming
"Let's talk about it! How are these thieves going to be pacified? After everyone had been talking for a while, Fu Xiong knocked lightly on the table and said.
Although the sound of his banging on the table was not heavy, the inside of the big tent suddenly became quiet. When Fu Jing, who was standing at the forefront, saw this scene, she couldn't help but secretly envy herself, after all, from this point, she could see the majesty of Fu Xiong.
"Prime Minister, according to what King Pyeongchang said, the anti-thieves are now strong, and we only brought back 20,000 troops. If you want to put down all the rebels in one fell swoop, I'm afraid it's not easy. We are bound to divide our troops and defeat these anti-thieves step by step! Qinghe Wang Fufa stood up and said.
"It is imperative to divide the troops, in addition, there are still a lot of troops in other places in Guanzhong, we can mobilize some of them to come over and put down the rebellion first. Although there are a lot of these rebels, in the eyes of the last general, they are nothing more than a rabble, as long as our army arrives, they will be destroyed one by one. Please also ask the prime minister to give me 5,000 soldiers and horses to go to quell the rebellion, and I will be able to return in a few days! Fu Fei, the general of the left guard, arched his hand and said arrogantly.
"If those rebels can be pacified so easily, can Your Majesty wait until now? Do you still need to specially recall the prime minister from Longyou? Have you forgotten the last defeat at the hands of Qiu Chi Yang? If you don't learn a lesson, how can you do it? However, as soon as Fu Fei's words were finished, he was interrupted by Fu Fa.
"That time was just my mistake, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, how do you know that I will fail again this time?" Hearing this, Fu Fei said angrily. It is said that hitting people does not slap their faces, this method is clearly to expose their scars and embarrass themselves!
"Enough, what kind of system is the discussion in the tent of the Chinese army, what is the system of noisy and noisy? No matter how much you dare to talk nonsense, you will drag it down to military law! The two seemed to have a big quarrel, and Fu Xiong, who was sitting on the top, snorted coldly and reprimanded.
When he spoke, both Fu Fei and Fu Fa couldn't help but shrink their heads, not daring to say anything more.
"Individually broken, that's what I think! But among these thieves, we must have a priority. Among these anti-thieves, Bacheng is the closest to Chang'an, but it is separated from Chang'an by Bashui, and it cannot be defeated in a short time. Chiyang County is north of Chang'an, and Ju County and Sizhu are both south of Chang'an, and they are close to each other. Yongxian County is located in the west of Chang'an, the farthest away from Chang'an, can be ignored for the time being, and wait until other places are pacified, and then deal with it. Fu Xiong glanced at everyone and said lightly.
Yongxian County is in the area of Fengxiang County in later generations, relatively far away from Chang'an. However, Chiyang was in the northwest of Jingyang County, Shaanxi Province in later generations, while Ju County was later in the area of Yiyi District, and Sizhu County was Zhouzhi County in later generations. Coupled with a hegemon, this is all around Chang'an, almost the entire Chang'an is surrounded, no wonder these people are so worried.
"Prime Minister, isn't there still a Huashan Army? Why leave them alone? Hearing this, everyone couldn't help nodding, but soon someone asked.
"Guanna Huashan Army does things, unlike other anti-thieves, when it first rebels, it can defeat the official army one after another. Now it has three counties on the south bank of Weishui, and it is easy to be pacified! If you want to solve this problem completely, you need at least 10,000 troops, and you need to be able to do it. Even if they can't be pacified for a while, they must be blocked in the territory of the three counties, and the Huashan Army must not be allowed to disturb us to pacify other rebels! Fu Xiong pondered for a moment before he spoke.
"Prime Minister, the last general is willing to lead troops to exterminate the Huashan Army, as long as the Prime Minister gives me 8,000 soldiers and horses, plus 500 iron cavalry, the last general will definitely be able to take the Huashan Army in one fell swoop!" Hearing this, Pyeongchang Wang Fujing was the first to stand up and ask for his life.
"Prime Minister, the last general is waiting for the wish!" Other generals also rushed to take the lead, all wanting to get this opportunity to stand alone. After all, in their opinion, it is not too difficult to put down the rebellion, and they have done a lot before. If you follow Fu Xiong's side, even if you put down the rebellion, this great merit will not fall on you, and if you can lead an army to destroy the Huashan Army alone, wouldn't the great merit be exclusive to you.
"I have other considerations for this matter! Fu Jing, you don't have to worry about this, there are other tasks to be entrusted to you! Fu Xiong glanced at everyone, unmoved, and said.
When Fu Jing heard this, she had to rest what she was thinking. When the others saw that Fu Jing had no hope, they naturally competed for this position even more.
"Report!" Just when the generals were arguing, a herald suddenly ran in outside the tent and said loudly: "Report to the prime minister, Xinfeng County has been captured by the overlord anti-thieves!" ”
"The generals will obey!" Hearing the news, everyone present couldn't help but be stunned and immediately quieted down. Fu Xiong, on the other hand, felt more and more that the counterinsurgency could not be delayed, and when he thought of this, he stood up and said in a deep voice.
As soon as these words came out, all the generals immediately stood up one by one and looked at Fu Xiong together.
"Order the king of Pyeongchang to lead 8,000 soldiers and horses, go out of the pass, and slightly settle on Shangluo, there must be no mistake! Qinghe Wang Fufa, summoned Guanzhong soldiers and horses, a total of 10,000, to eliminate the Huashan army, if not, be sure to block the Huashan army south of Weishui, so that it must not damage our army's counterinsurgency plan! Fu Fei, the general of the Left Guard, led 5,000 soldiers and horses to eliminate the rebels and recapture the county. The rest of the generals will go to Chiyang with me and retake Chiyang County! The order will be given, and the departure will be made immediately, without delay! Fu Xiong assigned one by one.
"The last general commands!" All the generals present responded in unison. The next moment, they all turned around and left the big tent and went their own way.
"Why haven't you prepared?" All the generals have retreated, only Pyeongchang King Fu Jing is still there, Fu Xiong glanced at him, and said lightly.
"Prime Minister, the last general doesn't understand, now that the counterinsurgency should be the priority, why do you still divide your troops to attack Shangluo and other places?" Fu Jing wondered.
"You don't need to understand, just know that this is a task personally assigned by His Majesty! The land of Shangluo plays an important role for us, Your Majesty is wise and wise, and there are many thoughts in my heart, how can you and I guess it! You just have to do it well, you don't have to ask! Fu Xiong looked at him, and had no intention of explaining it to him.
Hearing this, Fu Jing couldn't help it, but after hearing that it was Fu Jian who confessed, he also paid more attention to this matter. After all, if you don't complete the task, I'm afraid that it will be miserable by then. Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Yes, the last general will go down to prepare, and he will complete the task as soon as possible!" ”
"Go ahead!" Fu Xiong nodded and said nothing more.
Only a few days after Di Qin's army returned to Guanzhong, it moved again, and the most eye-catching of them was naturally the three-way soldiers and horses of Fu Xiong, Fu Jing and Fu Fei. On the contrary, Fu Fa did not pay too much attention to it, because his soldiers and horses had not yet been assembled, and if the 10,000 army was gathered, I am afraid that it would immediately attract everyone's attention.
Fu Xiong led an army of 10,000 and went straight to Chiyang, and Fu Jing took 8,000 soldiers and horses, and soon went south through Lantian County. Fu Fei took 5,000 soldiers and horses, and after arriving in Juxian, he did not stop at all, and immediately launched a siege battle. All their movements were quickly mastered by Li Xin and them.
Knowing that Fu Qin would soon launch an attack, Li Xin had already placed his office in Zheng County temporarily. Because judging from his thoughts, once the enemy really launched an attack on the Huashan army, the first priority choice would inevitably come from the west.
"The enemy is finally in action! Hey, there are people everywhere else who go to quell the rebellion, why haven't we heard that they sent people to attack us? Standing on the shore of the water, Li Erhei couldn't help but smile after hearing the news.
"It's not that there is no arrangement, it's that the arrangement is not in place yet. Don't forget, there's also a Qinghe king! His rank is not lower than that of Fu Jing, the king of Pyeongchang, and even higher than Fu Fei, since Fu Fei can lead an army alone, it is impossible for him to be without tasks. In my opinion, I'm afraid he's going to come against us. However, it doesn't matter who comes, we don't care, anyway, we are ready for everything, just waiting for them. What if it's Fu Jian's proximity? Li Xin shook his head, but said.
"Yes! The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, and that's it. The big war is coming, we have to be ready to persist for a long time! Wang Meng was also on the side, looking at the other side of the water and the rushing Weishui below, without sadness or joy.
"In your opinion, will those people in Kong Zhi be able to sustain it?" After looking at it for a while, Li Erhei looked at the two of them and asked.
"Can't!" This time, Li Xin and Wang Meng said almost in unison.
"Uh, why? I've heard that there are quite a few of them, and if it's a hard battle outside the city, it may not work, but if you defend the city, there should be no problem! Hearing these categorical words, Li Erhei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked.
"They don't look like they're a lot of people, but that's not the deciding factor. Just like us, if we could win with more people, would we still be here now? The last big war was over! Although Liu Zhen and the others had the determination to resist Di Qin, don't forget that those people under them are actually just ordinary people, and they themselves are not generals who are good at fighting. What's more, their opponent is the experienced Qin elite, and there are also good generals like Fu Xiong! In this way, the judgment is made! Li Xin glanced at Wang Meng, and saw that he didn't seem to want to explain, so he said himself.
"That's it! What you say is true! However, they don't always say that they will collapse at the touch of a button, right? Anyway, you have to hold on for a while! If they were to be finished all at once, wouldn't Fu Qin be able to concentrate all his forces against us at that time? That's not a good thing for us! Li Erhei nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said with some worry.
"It is impossible to keep nature forever, but it is impossible to defeat too quickly, in my estimation, if Fu Qin wants to completely put down these rebellions, I am afraid that it will be impossible this year! In short, it's not too much time for us, but it's not too little, and we still have to rely on ourselves for everything! Wang Meng shook his head slightly and said, he was not worried at all.
