Chapter 264: Strategic Shift
After Yi Zhengqi and Dong Zhe finished talking, he already had a rough outline in his heart, and he also had a conclusion about where the matter had got. [Ran^Text^Library] []
Compared to these mercenaries in the Horse Husbandry Province, and even for the vast majority of the soldiers of the Song Army, their purpose is very simple, they just want to simply protect their homeland, protect their offspring, the land, and after repelling the invasion of the Wind Beast Soldiers, their long-term idea is to work hard to defend the Horse Husbandry Province. Continue to repel the invaders again and again. They can't think of it, and they can't care about what's going on elsewhere.
So there will be "What happened to the dark capital, and what does it have to do with us?" ”
But it is easy to levy its different, everything in Lan City is a point, a point similar to a base area. He has a bigger picture and a sharper eye. He stands in a higher position, able to seize every opportunity to create fruitful results that others dare not imagine. Everything that has happened to the Chaoge Army at present, and the majestic development it has obtained, have all been created by Yi Zhengqi riding a huge wind and waves.
When he fled with the death squad, he did not have the will to disband everyone to live their own lives, but led this group of death squads to bite people everywhere like a pack of mad dogs. Growing up step by step in a difficult environment, he relied on the courage of the death squad. "Anyway, everyone has nothing, so it's better to do it hard!"
Then, he thought of the vagrants that others had overlooked, of the horses there, of the resources there, and of the moment he defeated the army of the Tuji Shahuns, he thought of a general trend. That is the panic of the people of Lan City, and the entire province of Horse Husbandry will fall into the fear of the orc attack. Yi Zhengqi led his troops to stand on the cusp of the storm, so that all the panicked civilians saw hope and the strength of the Chaoge army. What the result is, it is obvious to all, and now the Chaoge army is simply turning clouds and rain in the province of Muma. It is because he has gained the trust of the civilians and has become the leader who leads the civilians.
With Lan City as the center, it spread to the surrounding cities and towns, and almost all the civilians were related to the Chaoge Army. The reason why Antares fell into today's dilemma was that she had to deal with not only the Asaga army, but also the vast civilians in the entire province who had turned from fear to anger. From the very beginning, Yi Zhengqi showed a calm and breezy appearance, and the orc army had arrived, and he still had the heart to eat and drink with the civilian representatives, and he was still in the mood to go to the academy to teach the students. That's because Yi Zheng is sure that the entire orc army has fallen into the swamp quagmire. Orcs will be pinned down and tormented by civilians to the point of exhaustion.
All this, everything. Only Yi Zhengqi saw it. Just like now, the coup d'état in the hidden capital, others are afraid and hesitant, as if the sky has fallen. Crisis crisis, there is danger, there is organic. Yi Zhengqi saw another bigger opportunity. The coup d'état in Youdu will inevitably bring a powerful shock to all localities. The local warlords have risen one after another, the heroes are divided, the small forces, the weak local armies are like a headless fly, they don't know who to rely on. Don't know what to do next.
Even Yi Zhengqi thought that if the Kayun royal family fell, who did he want to cling to? Those 10,000 local troops, small forces, such as mercenaries, private troops, scattered teams, security teams that lost their provinces and escaped by luck, garrisons...... They must be like drowning people, eager to have a powerful force to rely on, and quickly stand in formation.
The more Yi Zhengqi thought about it, the more excited he became, the crisis in front of him was too tempting. When fear descended on the Far East, if the Asaga army suddenly stood up, then the troops from other places would inevitably come like a tide. Yi Zhengqi was even able to assemble a large army in a short period of time, and this army was still trained veterans, and they were not recruits who gathered together in a hurry. Mastering a strong army is equivalent to mastering the right to speak. The Imperial Forest Army is a living example, hundreds of thousands of troops are guarding there, and even His Majesty Kayun has to bow his head.
Well, there is only one question left. Why should those scattered troops and small forces defect to the Chaoge Army?
Yi Zhengqi raised his head and looked into the distance, determined in his heart: the Chaoge army must immediately break out into a big battle, and it must win vigorously. Let the entire Far Eastern Empire know about the existence of the Chaoge Army. The Asagaku army needed a stronger reputation, so strong that it would immediately squeeze into the front line of the Far Eastern Empire. And this war is just around the corner......
It was just overnight. The battle between the Asaga Army and the Antares II Army was endowed with a more far-reaching significance. It was only overnight that Yi Zhengqi's strategy took a distorted turn, and he initially planned to drag Antares' army indefinitely, completely turning them into a lone army, a hopeless remnant. In another swoop, he killed them. In this way, the sacrifice is minimal for the Asagaku.
But the current situation does not allow it. If it drags on any longer, those small forces will even throw themselves directly to the Great Wind Emperor after hearing about the coup d'état in Youdu. Yi Zhengqi thought that after the end of this war, he would immediately wave his army to the north, taking the opportunity to grab land and people. It's not that he has enough background, it's not that he has more troops and enough capital. Rather, they are in a period of greatest vulnerability. It's also the best time to do it. It's not that I've become stronger, it's that you've become infinitely weak! This kind of opportunity is once in a century, how can Yi Zhengqi easily let it go.
The coup d'état in the hidden capital, this matter. Both Cayun XVI and the Praetorian Army are trying their best to cover it up. Coupled with the wartime, communications were originally sent back to primitive times. All kinds of news bombarded the ears of civilians every day, so much so that they were half a beat slower to react when they heard the coup d'état in Youdu.
Yi Zhengqi didn't sleep all night, and his mind was full of the coup d'état in Youdu. He read Mu Zhijing's recommendation letter, the content was very simple, just a few sentences, saying that these people's abilities were okay, and did not reveal more useful information. Early the next morning, Yi Zhengqi immediately sent someone to arrange a meeting. Dong Zhe and his entourage were grateful when they saw that Yi Zhengqi attached so much importance to it. On the same day, Yi Zhengqi chatted in detail with a group of 64 of them for a whole day.
During this period, Yi Zhengqi experienced their hardships, they fled in a hurry, spent a lot of money all the way through the checkpoints, and were already poor when they arrived in Lan City. He said sincerely on the spot: "The civilian officials of the forbidden army have always had a good reputation, plus you have a letter of recommendation from a military division. Ladies and gentlemen, if you don't dislike it. Please put aside your past suspicions and contribute to my Song Army. Although our Song Army is not as good as the Forbidden Army.
But for useful talents, we will never treat the Song Army badly. It's the people of our Song Army, and I will do my best to protect it, no matter who wants to move my Song Army, it will definitely not work. As for the infamy of that 'rebel', I believe that one day the people of the world will return my innocence. The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband! Let's join forces to resist the Gale Beasts and create our own glory. ”
These civil officials are usually talents who play with words, and they also showed enthusiasm and replied loudly: "Yes." Sooner or later, something will come to light. I think that General Lin Mei was upright and upright in his life, and he served his official duties. In the end, he ended up with the tragic end of five horses, and he was rehabilitated twenty years after his death. We are not afraid of being slandered, and one day the world will see it clearly. ”
"Humph! Didn't the Guards shout every day that they would always be loyal to Your Majesty? Who knew that his wolf ambition was the first to rebel. Therefore, it is really impossible to look at the surface of which is right and which is wrong, who is loyal and who is traitorous. Our Chaoge Army has a bad reputation at the moment, but our hearts and our actions are the most righteous. We are worthy of the brilliant blue sky and the people of the world. ”
"Sir Yi! Dong Zhe is willing to follow you all his life! ”
"General Yi! From now on, we will be your subordinates. What is there to command! We will definitely give everything to the Chaoge Army! ”
The words of both sides are high-sounding, but in fact very simple.
Yi Zhengqi asked, "Do you mess with me?" ”
"Brother!" A group of younger brothers replied.
What Yi Zhengqi didn't expect was that the last child came over that night for this matter. She hesitated for a moment before asking, "Sir, you recruited more than sixty officials at once. The military rank is even high to the level of a staff officer. They numbered nearly two hundred men, including their own men. Could there be anything wrong with that? ”
"What's the problem?"
"Sir, they've all just left the forbidden army from the Hidden Capital. I think the forbidden army must have been kind to them at the beginning, the forbidden army killed so many commanders overnight, they didn't take revenge and didn't stay to do their best. While the forbidden army was still there, they sought a new Lord. Such a greedy for life and afraid of death, and forgetting the ancestors of the wall grass, will all of them suddenly run away again on the day when the Chaoge army is defeated? Will such an atmosphere bring the entire Chaoge army to ruin? Mo Ziying didn't mean to beat around the when he spoke.
Yi Zhengqi glanced at the end of the child, he knew that the end of the child was a person, all for the sake of the Song army. Zhang Hao didn't come because Zhang Hao fully believed in Yi Zhengqi's decision. Fu Zhentao didn't come, it was because of the talent he introduced, and Yi Zheng accepted it. As for Mi Yu, he is typical of what he is told. Yi Zhengqi has to decide what to do, and he thinks that he has no power to control it as a group seat.
Yi Zhengqi was very relieved that she could think of this step, and said, "Don't worry." I've thought about it all. The reason for this is the coup d'état in Youdu, not an ordinary share of honor and disgrace. It's like now that the Gale Emperor has invaded with his army, and we have evacuated in Kassanla, is it called greed for life and fear of death? Now it's not just about the forbidden army. It is the imperial power involved. I've got it all, and that's one of my plans, and I'm going to let the outside world know.
Our Chaoge Army is not a 'rebel army that eats people without blinking', we have our own belly, we have our own strength. Even the civil officials who fled from the forbidden army, I dared to accept them all. These are political and diplomatic matters. Before that, many people would think that the Asagaku army was a barbaric army. This is the right time to give a message to the outside world. We are not outliers, and we can be allies with them.
We want to be able to get out of the province and be able to move around. It has to be done. Otherwise, there will be forces everywhere that are on guard against us, and every force will regard us as an enemy, and the road will be very difficult. When I say this, you may not understand. Another reason is that our Chaoge Army really lacks such a group of talents. They are familiar and professional. I know what you're worried about. They are just civilian officials, and they can be solved by not letting them hold military power. ”
