Chapter 457: Burning City by Flame (I)

What Long Xiaotian ordered the soldiers to fall to the ground was a large pile of letters. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hearing Li Qing's question, Long Xiaotian said a little proudly: "Dashuai, Liao Bin's soldiers and horses, although the source is complicated, but most of them are locals in Quanzhou, now he is trapped in the lonely city, and other places are all taken by us, I used manpower to find out the families of some soldiers, and let them write letters home, if these things go to the city, I believe it will be very effective in breaking the enemy's morale." ”

Li Qing was a little stunned and said, "How many people did you use to get so many letters?" ”

"Dashuai, only about half of the people's letters are true, and the other half are forged by my organization."

"Forgery?" Li Qing Daqi, "If it is discovered, wouldn't it be self-defeating?" ”

"The point is not this half of the forgery, but the other half is true, Dashuai, there are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the city of Quanzhou, how many people can know each other, and the fierce battle has been fought for so long, and they have suffered a lot of casualties, just we get these letters, one of them has got the real letters, and knows the news of the family, then, all the letters will become true, as for those who can't find the letter, others think that it is just that this person does not know." Long Xiaotian talked about it.

Li Qing's face was already smiling, "Wonderful, these letters appeared in large numbers in the city, which will inevitably cause the army's morale to fluctuate, and Liao Bin will definitely confiscate it when he knows about it, and he will definitely collect it, whether it is true or not, then the soldiers will inevitably suspect that their letters were searched by Liao Dashuai, and they will not think that a large part of them are fake at all." ”

"The marshal is right, the morale of the whole state is not high, so the morale is even lower, maybe some soldiers see that their families are better off under the rule of the marshal than before, and they will have some other thoughts."

Li Qing laughed, "It's not important if you can't think about it, the important thing is to make Liao Bin believe that there are a group of soldiers who have thought about it!" ”

"Handsome and wise!" Long Xiaotian patted his ass.

Patting Long Xiaotian, Li Qingdao said: "This matter is very well done, but Xiaotian, can you be sure that these letters will shake the hearts of these soldiers?" ”

Long Xiaotian said with certainty: "Dashuai, there is absolutely no problem, our Dingzhou New Deal has begun to be implemented gradually, although the progress is slow, but the people of the whole state have seen hope, and they are looking forward to the new Deal, didn't Dashuai say before, the land is the farmer's son, before, their son was in the hands of others, and now, we let them control their own son, only this one, it is enough to make them crazy, not to mention, this time Liao Bin went against the grain, although he successfully delayed the progress of our army, But it also made his folk reputation plummet, how could he be undefeated if he dug his own grave like this? ”

"Hmm!" Li Qing said with satisfaction: "Yes, you, the state's all-affairs handling envoy, I didn't make a mistake." ”

Long Xiaotian left satisfied, looking at Li Qing's expression, he knew that after the war in Quanzhou, this Quanzhou governor would definitely not be able to run out of his palm.

The next day, the Dingzhou soldiers attacked again, but this time the attack was strange, Dingzhou did not directly attack the city, but took an uninterrupted long-range attack, and wanted to be more tragic and extremely fierce in the city battle, this kind of attack focused on suppression rather than killing, and the pressure on the city was much smaller.

After Liao Bin and Chen Chong watched the battle for a period of time, they agreed that after a period of hard fighting, the Dingzhou soldiers also needed to rest, and the current blow was just to maintain a certain psychological pressure on the city, and there would be no large-scale fierce battles today, they were also tired during this time, and they barely slept a full night, especially Chen Chong, who was in pain of losing his son, and the tiredness at this time was even stronger, and after affirming the fact in front of them, both of them left the city and took the time to take a good rest.

An hour later, the long-range strike outside the city suddenly turned sour.

The fierce stone bullet attack was replaced by a mud bomb, and as soon as the bullet fell, it smashed above the city, and the things wrapped in it immediately scattered in all directions, and under the crossbow of the eight oxen that shot into the city, there were also bundles of things.

The illness of the lost senior officers in the city was instantly exposed, and many junior officers did not pay attention to this major turning point that affected the Jeonju campaign, when one of the soldiers found his own letters in these things, the city immediately exploded, and all the letters shot into the city instantly became the object of the soldiers' struggle, and they were trapped in the city of Jeonju, and the soldiers who were already a little numb found out that after some letters from home, the closed heart instantly opened the gap.

When this incident was reported to Liao Bin layer by layer, an hour had passed.

Liao Bin, who was shocked, immediately rushed to the head of the city, and almost at the same time, Chen Chong also rushed over. Although the matter was brought under control to a certain extent, and a considerable number of letters shot into the city were confiscated, the information continued to spread among the soldiers in the city at a rapid pace.

The soldiers who received the news of their homes were naturally satisfied and beaming, while the soldiers who did not receive the letters turned their suspicious eyes to the senior officers at the head of the city, where there were still large piles of confiscated letters.

From the very beginning, things were developing smoothly along the predetermined trajectory of Li Qing and Long Xiaotian.

In the afternoon, the Dingzhou army stopped attacking, and Li Qing quietly waited for this matter to ferment in the city of Quanzhou.

When Qingfeng walked into Li Qing's big tent, Li Qing rarely had some smiles on his face in the past few days.

"Qingfeng, is there any arrangement in the city?" Li Qing asked.

"General, in the Quanzhou Army, we have limited nails, but we still sent the news through some channels, and there should be some small actions, such as encouraging some soldiers to flee, etc., but more often than not, we can only spread some rumors in the city." Qingfeng sat beside Li Qing.

"Enough!" Li Qing nodded, "Just a little bit of a sprout, suspicion is a kind of poison, let him take root in Liao Bin's heart, as long as he feels that most of the soldiers in the city are not enough to rely on, but now the vigilance in the city must be raised, if these nails of yours really instigate an accident, I'm afraid I won't be able to save it." ”

"From the day they joined the Investigations Division, they knew they were ready to pay for it with their lives." Qingfeng didn't care, "The important thing is to win, as long as they win, all the efforts will be worth it, even if they sacrifice, their families will be rewarded handsomely for their efforts." ”

Li Qing nodded, since the sacrifice is inevitable, then it is necessary to maximize the benefits of this sacrifice, he needs the first domino to fall now, the first one to fall, everything will be logical.

At night, in the city of Quanzhou, Liao Bin is a high-level person in the whole state are worried, the development of the form is deteriorating step by step with time, rumors are spreading in the army in the city, Liao Bin has finally gathered up the morale, and the bloody courage that has been fighting hard during this period of time was smashed by a thin letter from home in a morning.

"What now?" Liao Bin looked at everyone.

"Marshal, extraordinary time, can only use extraordinary means, this matter is not shocked by thunderous means, and the army's morale will be dissipated in an instant." A civil official stood up and said, "If you find one, catch one and kill another, and you can't ignore those who spread rumors." ”

An officer stood up and objected: "This is not feasible, according to statistics, there are about more than 10,000 letters shot into the city, and nearly 1,000 of them have found their owners." It is difficult to kill more than a thousand soldiers, and if this is done, then the battle will not be fought at all. ”

The people in the room were divided into two factions, one faction advocated a strike hard, the other faction advocated tolerance, and the two factions had their own reasons and fought for each other, while Chen Chong sat on the first chair under Liao Bin, his face was pale, but he did not say a word.

"Dashuai!" A soldier rushed in.

"What's the matter?"

"Great commander, there is a fruit chief who instigated dozens of soldiers to tie the strong son to the city gate, in order to take advantage of the night to fall down the city to surrender, was discovered by the patrol soldiers, except for the two who had fled from the city, the rest of the people were arrested. The star guard on duty will show the commander, how can these people be disposed of? ”

The room suddenly fell silent, everyone knew the seriousness of this matter and its subsequent far-reaching impact, this is like eating crabs, from the time no one eats, everyone is afraid, but as long as there is a brave person who does it first, there will definitely be latecomers.

"Kill, kill them all, and show the heads around the battalions, what else is there to ask?" Liao Bin was furious and took the case.

The argument did not reach a unified opinion, and when everyone left one by one, leaving only Chen Chong and Liao Bin, their faces showed bitterness.

"Dashuai, it's time to think about the way back, the whole state can't hold it!" Chen Chong gritted his teeth and said this sentence with great difficulty.

"What do you think?" Liao Bin sat on the chair, only to feel that all his strength was drained.

"There are still nearly 30,000 soldiers left in the battalion, among which there are about more than 10,000 troops who are absolutely loyal to the commander and are willing to go to the soup for the commander." Chen Chong said, "Dashuai took this group of people and withdrew from the whole state. ”

Liao Bin shook his head and said: "I will withdraw these people, there will be a mutiny in the city immediately, Li Qing has been waiting for this moment in the morning, taking the opportunity to take the city, I can't get out at all, I have lost the support of the city, in the field battle, we are not the opponent of the Tiezhou Iron Cavalry at all, this point, Liu Yefei's first battle has made us see it very clearly." ”

Chen Chong showed a cruel smile on his face, "Dashuai, you can go with confidence, with me here, Li Qing will not have a chance to chase you." ”

Liao Bin was taken aback, "Old Chen, even if you leave, you have to go with me, Chen Guang has already become a benevolent person for Quanzhou, how can I not let you stay and die!" ”

"Da Shuai, I only have one single seedling of Guang'er, Guang'er is gone, what is the meaning of my life, being able to break for Da Shuai is the last thing I can do for Da Shuai, then Li Qing, although I can't kill him, but I'm afraid of death, I have to make him pay." Chen Chong gritted his teeth and said.
