Chapter 286: Ling Feng wants to give up the three counties
"Wait. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Jiang Yiyuan said: "After capturing Qiang County, you need a general to garrison, do you have a good candidate?" ”
"Candidates... The last general asked for an order to be stationed. Chen Fang thought about it, but he couldn't think of it, so he immediately asked for battle.
In fact, there are not many generals under Pang Yi who can recruit good soldiers, there were many in the past, but most of them were killed in battle, such as Duan Yun and others, more than a dozen generals were killed by Ling Feng in one go, and now only Chen Fang can get his hands on it, and Zhou Meng, who has just been reused.
"You can't, you are the general of our army, you need to go to Qingliang with me."
Jiang Yiyuan was also worried about this matter, Chen Fang was originally the best candidate, but if Chen Fang stayed, then there would be no one available among the generals in his army, only Zhou Meng, but Zhou Meng was stupid and reckless, and he was really embarrassed.
"General Zhou Meng..."
"Don't mention Zhou Meng, do you think he can do it."
Jiang Yiyuan said: "You should keep some attention to this matter, and tell me if you have chosen someone." ”
"There is one more thing, from tomorrow, we will only travel fifty miles a day, and we will camp after walking, don't worry, doesn't Liu Qing want to withdraw the soldiers and horses of Qiang County, then let him withdraw, we are too lazy to attack, and then we will directly occupy the empty city."
"No."
Chen Fang answered, turned around and walked out of the big tent.
In the next three days, Jiang Yiyuan's army was unusual, only fifty a day, regardless of those small county towns, and went straight forward, heading towards the county seat of Qiang County.
And at the same time, Liu Qing also received a message from the shadows, including the letter from Kaiyuan County, the letter from Huai County, and most importantly, Ling Feng's message!
When he first received this message, Liu Qing didn't believe that the three northern counties could be said to be Ling Feng's hard work, and they had spent a great deal of money to fight down, how could they give up so easily?
Even if Jiang Yiyuan is invincible, then he has to fight, why don't he even fight, so he gave up.
Liu Qing couldn't believe it.
However, the shadow seemed to guess that Liu Qing would not believe it, so he took out a piece of paper with the seal of General Ling Feng...
The seal is written: General Tianwei!
There is no doubt that this is true...
After sending the shadow away, Liu Qing fell silent, and Ling Feng also said in the message that this matter should not be spread so as not to disturb the morale of the army, that is to say, even Sun Jian and the others should not be informed.
The pressure was too great, and Liu Qing pondered and distressed.
Jiang Yiyuan has solved the problem of food, then the strategy he discussed with Sun Jian before will be nullified, and it is obviously not advisable to give up Qiang County, but in terms of time, even if the order is issued now, it is too late, Jiang Yiyuan will still capture Qiang County, and the 400,000 army is unstoppable.
Just as Ling Feng thought, there were only two ways in front of Liu Qing now, either to fight to the death with Jiang Yiyuan, or to take the initiative to withdraw from the three northern counties, and Ling Feng also said that even if he took the initiative to withdraw, Ling Feng would not punish him.
However, when he thought of retreating, Liu Qing was extremely reluctant, who didn't want to make meritorious contributions for the generals, now he was in power, but it was the best opportunity to prove himself, if this battle was won, not only would he become Ling Feng's most relied on general, but no one in the world would dare to underestimate him in the future.
With such thoughts, Liu Qing subconsciously made up his mind that even if he wanted to withdraw, he would have to win one or two battles before withdrawing, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Qing summoned all the high-ranking generals to the hall of the county guard's mansion.
The meeting was attended by Chu Jun, Lu Wen, Lu Chang, Li Yungang, Sun Jian, Zhang Guozhong, plus himself, a total of seven; These seven people have the highest status and the highest reputation in the three northern counties today, and they are also the final Yu Ling Feng, so they don't have to worry about leaking secrets, and they can talk about countermeasures with confidence. Of course, Chu Jun is a general, and it stands to reason that he is not a core personnel, but Liu Qing is sure that after his contact with Chu Jun during this time, he learned that in fact, Chu Jun is a very simple-minded person, who wants to make meritorious contributions and has nothing to ask for, and the person who is loyal to him used to be Wei Ning, and after Wei Ning's death, he was persuaded to surrender, and Chu Jun also swore an oath to return to Ling Feng. Liu Qing knew that for a person like Chu Jun, the oath was very important, so he was willing to believe that Chu Jun would not betray him, and he could rest assured that he could reuse it.
After evening, everyone gathered in the lobby, the door closed, and the crowd sat down on either side.
Liu Qing sat on the top, looked at everyone, especially Sun Jian and the others, and finally retracted his gaze and said: "After my careful consideration, I have decided that from now on, we will no longer avoid and no longer let Jiang Yiyuan share half of the land, we must take the initiative to attack, and we must not passively avoid war!" ”
"The matter of Qiang County, I will personally ask the lord for guilt in the future, just now, I received a letter from the lord, the lord reprimanded me fiercely in the letter, and I am reflecting on this."
"The gist of the letter is, 'It is really ridiculous that you should give up your land like this, don't you even have the courage to fight Jiang Yiyuan? For the generals to serve the battlefield properly, how can you be greedy for life and fear of death, the generals do this, it is really regrettable, I thought you would fight to the death, how did you expect it to be so unbearable! ’”
"The lord also ordered me to recapture Qiang County within three months, and completely defeat Jiang Yiyuan and drive him back to Huai County; Oh yes, I also want to tell you a good news, the lord said in the letter that he has been approved by the emperor, and immediately lead a large army to the rescue, in terms of distance, within three months, the lord will come, I hope that before the lord comes, we can defeat Jiang Yiyuan, but I am ready for a big war, I don't know what you think. ”
After Liu Qing finished speaking, he took a sip of the tea on the desk, and his eyes swept over everyone.
"Haha... Well, it's long overdue. Lu Chang laughed and said excitedly: "I'll just say, what's so terrible about this Jiang Yiyuan, I don't think the lord is coming, as long as we are all united, we will definitely be able to retreat from the enemy." ”
Chu Jun also grinned, his expression extremely excited.
The reaction of the two was already expected by Liu Qing, these two people are war-loving people, as long as it comes to fighting, they must run faster than anyone else, especially Jiang Yiyuan, who is a famous figure all over the world, if he can win, he will be famous directly.
Compared with the two, the rest of Li Yungang, Zhang Guozhong, Sun Jian, and Lu Wen have different expressions, among which Sun Jian frowned deeply, expressing his confusion; Li Yungang and Zhang Guozhong's faces were a little happy, and since Ling Feng came, he naturally had the chance to win; Lu Chang, on the other hand, was a little worried, even if Ling Feng was coming, it would be a few months later, and during this period, would the three northern counties be able to hold on?
"General Liu Qing, we have to hold on for three months, can we hold on?"
"General Lu Wen, I repeat, it's not about defending, it's about attacking! I want to defeat Jiang Yiyuan and completely drive out of my three northern counties! Liu Qing said word by word.
At the same time, Liu Qing also secretly made up his mind that within three months, the war must be ended, and if he really can't win, then he must quickly withdraw and return to the imperial capital from the Yangtze River, so as to maintain his strength.
Liu Qing said: "From now on, we must have such a mentality, not to defend, but to attack!" ”
"You might as well talk about your own views on how to drive Jiang Yiyuan out of Qiang County." (To be continued.) )
