Chapter 282: The Little Emperor Won't Let Go
Sun Jian said: "Yes, since this is the case, then the general will go out once, select tens of thousands of elites to attack his camp, I dare to conclude that there must be no ambush!" ”
"What? Straight to Jiang Yiyuan's camp? Liu Qing was taken aback, waved his hand again and again, and said: "No, no, no, it's too reckless, and even if our army catches Jiang Yiyuan off guard, it can't defeat his 400,000 army, and in the end it will still fall short."

Sun Jian said: "The general doesn't know, I found out that Jiang Yiyuan has run out of food, and the grain and grass in the army are only enough for two months, not only that, but even Huai County and Surabaya County have no food; If we can burn down his grain and grass camp, or burn half of it, then Jiang Yiyuan must retreat! ”
"As long as he retreats, the general will have made a great contribution, and then..."
Liu Qing waved his hand and said: "I don't care if I don't make a big contribution, that's all for later; According to what Mr. said, success or failure is in an instant, victory, our army will be invincible, if defeated, then we can... ”
Sun Jian grabbed the words and said: "General, we can take a good look at the distribution of the strength of Jiang Yiyuan's battalion, if we find his weak point, tens of thousands of troops rush up and rush to the grain and grass battalion, then the chance is very great." ”
"Anyway, that's all I say, General Liu should think about it."
After speaking, Sun Jian didn't linger any longer, and after arching his hand, he slowly withdrew from the house.
Liu Qing came to the seat and sat down, very distressed, he was in a dilemma, and there seemed to be no chance of winning if he went out on the expedition or not. He only has 100,000 people in his hands now, just like Sun Jian just said, if he really wants to attack Jiang Yiyuan, then the army that goes to attack the camp can only dispatch 70,000 to 80,000 at most, and he must leave a soldier and horse to garrison the county seat, so the question is, can the 70,000 people succeed in the sneak attack?
Unable to make up his mind, Liu Qing sighed, this was the biggest battle he had encountered since he joined the army, and he had to face it alone, without reinforcements and without Ling Feng by his side; Everything has to be decided by himself, and every order has hundreds of thousands of lives tied up, which he has to pay attention to.
Although he really wanted to make a contribution, he remembered what Ling Feng said, and he forcibly suppressed it again.
Coming to the map and looking at the map, Liu Qing fell into deep thought again as usual...
........
The news of Jiang Yiyuan's army's Northern Expedition quickly reached Ling Feng's ears, and the first to come this news was of course the shadow, because when Jiang Yiyuan convened the generals to discuss the matter, the shadow hurriedly sent the news to the imperial capital for eight hundred miles.
After receiving the news, Ling Feng stayed awake that night.
He had long thought that Jiang Yiyuan would attack the three northern counties, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, and he also mobilized 400,000 troops to go, isn't this to put the three northern counties as mortal enemies.
Such a mighty position, it can be seen that Jiang Yiyuan's heart, Jiang Yiyuan must take the three northern counties, Liu Qing only has 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and there are no brave generals, if it really fights, Ling Feng really can't imagine what the result will be.
Next.
Ling Feng put on his court clothes, rode into the palace in a carriage, and came to the Golden Palace.
At this time, it was the time of the early dynasty, and all the ministers had already arrived, and they were all standing on both sides of the golden palace.
After the emperor entered the Golden Palace, he saw that Ling Feng was also standing on the Golden Palace, and he was quite surprised.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"Zhong Aiqing is rising."
"Long live thanks."
Everyone gets up.
The emperor was about to speak, at this time, another person walked in from outside the Golden Palace, panicked, fast, and did not kneel down to salute after coming to the Golden Palace, but just arched his hand and said: "Minister Yang Xiong to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor." ”
"Yang Aiqing doesn't have to be polite."
Yang Xiong straightened up and walked behind Ling Feng to stand.
If it was in normal times, Ling Feng and Yang Xiong would not have come to the court, both of them had the privilege of not going to the court, but today, they came together.
The emperor looked at the two of them and paid more attention to Ling Feng, among the two, he still liked Ling Feng more, he was measured in his actions, and he was not arrogant. Unlike Yang Xiong, who got carried away when he got a yellow coat, he really didn't kneel and bow to the court today, which was extremely arrogant.
The little emperor couldn't help but think, if Ling Feng had a yellow coat, would he not bow down in the court? The little emperor denied it, if Ling Feng had it, he would never be so arrogant.
From this point, it can be seen that Ling Feng is a person who does great things, and Yang Xiong is difficult to compare with him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, who has this music?"
"Your Majesty, the minister has a good song."
As soon as the words fell, Ling Feng stood up.
Yang Xiong raised his eyes and looked at it, and lowered his head again, he came to watch the play today, to see what Ling Feng was doing when he came to the court; On the fourth watch, as soon as Ling Feng left the Taishi Mansion, he received the news, and then hurried over.
Ling Feng didn't pay attention to Yang Xiong, all he was thinking about now was the war in the three northern counties.
Ling Feng arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister received an urgent report from the border pass, Jiang Yiyuan gathered 400,000 troops to attack me Qingliang, and the minister asked for an order to lead the troops to exterminate Pang Yi's rebellious army." One is to pacify the northern frontier, and the other is to shock the power of our dynasty, and I hope that Your Majesty will be gracious. ”
This incident happened three days ago, and no one else in the Golden Palace knew about it except Ling Feng, not even the emperor.
Hearing this, the little emperor's face did not change much, this was in his expectation, just imagine, Ling Feng left the three northern counties and took away 100,000 troops, how could Pang Yi not see the fighters in between, it was a matter of time before he took the three northern counties.
Now Jiang Yiyuan personally led an army of 400,000 to come, which can be described as a large number of generals, and the general trend is that the northern Xinjiang cannot be defended.
The little emperor said: "General Ling, far water can't solve the near fire, even if you return to the three northern counties, I'm afraid it will be useless, I don't have to go to the rescue, so as not to waste money and food in vain." ”
"Instead of investing troops in the northern Xinjiang and returning in vain at that time, I think it is better to care more about Kaiyuan, Kaiyuan is my deputy capital, and there is no room for anti-thieves to be entrenched..."
Ling Feng said: "Your Majesty, among all the anti-thieves, Pang Yi should have the most extensive power, with his current strength and Jiang Yiyuan's help, it is enough to march out of Surabaya Pass to Kaiyuan, and the reason why he did not kill Kaiyuan is because he has not pacified the north and eliminated future troubles; If we take the initiative to give up the three northern counties and let Pang Yi monopolize the northern frontier, then in less than two years, Pang Yi will definitely send troops from Surabaya Pass and take Kaiyuan directly, and at that time, I am afraid that Bai Ku and others will not be Pang Yi's opponents, which will be very disadvantageous to our court. ”
After Ling Feng finished speaking, Yang Xiong immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, what General Ling said is reasonable, and the rebels in Northern Xinjiang cannot be tolerated. ”
Yang Xiong was overjoyed at the moment, he had long hoped that Ling Feng would be able to lead his troops out of the imperial capital, and he was also worried about staying in the imperial capital for a long time. Originally, during this time, he was still thinking about how to find a way to let Ling Feng leave, but he really didn't expect that Ling Feng would take the initiative to mention this matter.
Yang Xiong secretly said God help me, this is much better than he proposed it, I am really grateful to Pang Yi and Jiang Yiyuan, it is really time to rebel.
The little emperor hesitated, according to what Ling Feng said, it seems that he really can't let Pang Yi continue to grow, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, Pang Yi is already so powerful with only two counties in his hands now, and when he gets the northern Xinjiang in the future, plus Jiang Yiyuan and Surabaya Pass, he can attack and retreat and defend, who can destroy it?
The little emperor had a sad face, but he was extremely worried about Yang Xiong, Yang Xiong had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and all parts of Western Xinjiang were also controlled by Yang Xiong, if Ling Feng was gone, then who would restrain him, if Yang Xiong also rebelled, wouldn't it be more troublesome.
