Chapter 29: Strategies to Resist the Enemy

Zhangtai Palace.

Ji Xuanling ascended to the heights and looked out, and the continuous beacon tower in the south was billowing wolf smoke, stretching for dozens of miles.

The military generals who entered the palace in a panic looked at the thick wolf smoke in the south, angry, nervous, panicked, and had different expressions.

Great Qin was on the right track, and everything was going well, but it was invaded by foreign enemies, and I was afraid that it would interrupt the top-down change of the Qin State.

The main army is stationed at Yanyang Pass, and the defense of Qiushui County is empty, how to deal with the battle?

"Your Majesty, Yuan Ci only invades Great Qin every autumn, and this time he sent troops to invade in advance, which seems strange!" Feng Chang Lu Shiming bowed down and said, with a little surprise in his tone and an uneasy expression.

"No matter what's wrong with him, openly sending troops to invade Great Qin, shouldn't I sit idly by?" Ji Xuanling waved his long sleeves, his murderous anger rolled, and asked sharply: "Yin Hong, Wei Che, you just have to say, leading the troops to meet the battle, does the Qin army have a chance of winning?" ”

"Your Majesty, last winter, Yuan Ci led his troops to defeat Ram Yue and occupy thirteen counties in four states in the north of Dakang, claiming to have 500,000 soldiers, and he was the most powerful prince in Dakang, and he was able to compete with Dong Chang, who controlled the imperial court, and the overall military strength should not be underestimated.

The key is that Yuan Ci inherited the most elite tiger army in Dakang, commanded famous generals, many fierce generals, in recent years, the tiger army has achieved several great victories, and the whole army is in full swing.

On the other hand, the Qin army won fewer victories and more defeats in foreign battles, its armament was lax, and its soldiers were uneven in their combat effectiveness, and they fought against the well-equipped and imposing Tiger Ben army, and almost did not achieve victory. Send troops to meet the battle, and the odds of victory are not high. Wei Che talked eloquently, explaining the situation of the Qin army.

He knew that the king wanted to send an army to meet the battle, but he didn't dare to forget to remind the Qin army of its bad state.

If he was given a choice, he suggested enduring the anger of the moment, waiting for the strength of the Qin army to recover, and then leading the army south to produce Yuan Ci, and pay for the blood debt.

"General Wei, you can't say that, in the past few battles, Guo Tianlu's minions led the troops to resist the enemy, they had no combat experience, and they secretly corresponded with Yuan Ci and betrayed the interests of Great Qin. Now that the king is in power, if he selects elite soldiers and fierce generals, and the tactics and tactics are properly arranged, he may not be able to fight. Yin Hong said forcefully.

During Guo Tianlu's reign, the Qin army was defeated one after another, and as one of the generals of the Qin army, he felt humiliated.

Now that the new monarchy has been in power for less than a month, Yuan Ci sent an army to invade, clearly wanting to show his muscles and give the new monarch a command.

Afraid of not fighting, where does Great Qin have face?

If the six eastern countries follow suit, and Great Qin is mired in war, how to revitalize.

If a great victory is achieved in foreign warfare, not to mention the momentum of the three armies, it can also restore the fighting spirit of the Qin people.

Warn the six eastern countries that Great Qin is still the Great Qin of the past, and whoever dares to invade will pay back ten times.

Winning and losing?

Ji Xuanling frowned, in this way, the Qin army has no absolute chance of winning.

After thinking for a moment, he turned his head to Ji Liankai and asked, "This time, who will Yuan Ci send to fight?" ”

"Your Majesty, the front is coming to report, the leader of the troops is Gongsun Ang, one of the five tiger generals under Yuan Ci, the forward general is Zhang Sui, and the general responsible for escorting the grain and grass is Zhao Rong." Ji Liankai reported.

Gongsun Ang?

Ji Xuanling muttered to himself, not knowing much about this person's past.

"How capable is this man, and is he good at fighting?"

"On the king, Gongsun Ang can fight well, extremely brave, originally one of the eight pillars of the Dakang court, as the chief general of the Dakang Kyoto forbidden army, Dong Chang led the troops to steal Kyoto, he led 30,000 forbidden troops to take refuge in Yuan Ci, appointed Xuanzhou Assassin History, and then followed Yuan Ci to defeat the Quartet Haoqiang, occupy the entire Xuanzhou.

Last year, Yuan Ci's troops defeated Gongyang Yue and captured Fengzhou and Anzhou six counties. Noticing the doubts on Ji Xuanling's face, Ji Liankai continued to report.

"In this way, this Gongsun Ang has a lot of force, and if the imperial court does not send troops to fight, the guards of Qiushui County will not be able to stop Gongsun Ang's invasion?" Ji Xuanling asked.

"Your Majesty, the Qin army is mostly stationed in Yinyang Pass, beware of the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han, there are not many defenders in Qiushui County, if Gongsun Ang Tiexin attacks Qin, if he enters the realm of no one, Qiushui County will inevitably fall." Ji Liankai said worriedly and hurriedly.

The fall of Qiushui County?

Ji Xuanling's face swelled, and his fists creaked.

Daqin developed commerce and planted tea in Qiushui County and Yanping County, how could he not fight back against Gongsun Ang.

Every autumn harvest, Yuan Ci sent soldiers to harvest, but there was no one in his eyes.

He said categorically: "War, Gongsun Ang led the troops into the territory of Great Qin, and he needed to regain the price of bleeding. ”

"Battle?"

Hearing the sound, the military generals present seemed to have been struck by lightning and were shocked.

Great Qin has undergone a great change, and the king has only been in power for more than ten days, and he has not even completely controlled the counties of Great Qin.

In today's war, it would be too hasty to fight to the death.

Not to mention the decrees that affected the implementation of the imperial court, a little carelessness caused a full-scale invasion by Yuan Ci, and Great Qin would be dragged into the quagmire of war.

"Your Majesty, do you think about it and think about it in the long run?" Shi Jia Taichu's expression was slightly stunned, and he persuaded in a serious tone.

"Your Majesty, the Snapdragon Army has not been formed for a long time, it has not yet formed a formation, it has no combat effectiveness, the Snapdragon Army still needs to defend Xianyang, and it cannot be transferred at will, and Daqin does not have enough troops to meet the battle." Zong Zhengyang Xiuwen's serious suggestion was panicked in his heart, for fear that Ji Xuanling would insist on going his own way.

As he expected, Ji Xuanling said with a tough attitude: "Great Qin has been in decline for nearly ten years, and the princes in the southern corner of the country have all bullied Great Qin. Today, if Yuan Ci is allowed to be bullied, they will follow suit and send troops to the west to the east of Japan, such as Wei, Zhao, and Korea.

How did Daqin respond?

In order to change the appearance of Great Qin's weakness, ensure the stability of the external environment, and ensure that Great Qin recovers its national strength, it is necessary to carry out a huge campaign.

This time, not only to face the battle, but also to completely annihilate Gongsun Ang's Tiger Army, only by beating them out of fear and pain, can Daqin develop steadily. ”

Dakang, Daqian is vigilant against Daqin, and the six eastern countries are eyeing each other.

Today's Great Qin, without allies and foreign aid, seems to be a lonely hero, and can only rely on himself when it comes to life and death.

The ministers agreed with Ji Xuanling's words, but they had no confidence in the Qin army, and they were afraid that they would be injured by the tiger instead of fighting the tiger.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to lead the 40,000 Black Flag Army to set off immediately and go south to meet the battle." In the rebuttal of the ministers, Yin Hong took a half step back and clenched his fists.

Ji Xuanling shook his palm, rejected Yin Hong's proposal, and said categorically: "No, this battle is that the king will lead the troops to the south." ”

Driving a personal expedition?

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were terrified.

Great Qin has the custom of the king driving the royal expedition, and in the early days of the succession of the first king, he once led the army to break into the Wei state of Hexi. But the first king was familiar with military books and could fight well.

On the other hand, Ji Xuanling, not to mention his first ascension to the throne, did not show any talent as a military general before.

He drove the expedition in person, and the ministers were panicked!
