When Qiu Yizhi heard this, she turned her head blankly, but saw that Wen Lingjiao's body was really like a sculpture of ice and snow, and no words in the world could describe her beauty now.

At this moment, Qiu Yizhi's mind came to mind but the bodybuilding body of the county lord of Yiran, but Wen Lingjiao's naked body was even more warm and full, especially a pair of plump breasts and a heavy house on the chest, which seemed to be emitting an irresistible light......

…………

In the next few days, Qiu Yizhi concentrated on presiding over the rectification of defense in Shanyin County.

The first is to ask Zhao Chengxiao to lead the army, in addition to letting the wounded soldiers recuperate with peace of mind, they must not relax their drill training, and repair and replenish the blades and equipment damaged in the previous battles in time.

The second is to let Xu Rong take the property donated by the old gentleman in Shanyin County, and recruit young and strong people, plus the silver taels that Qiu Yizhi took out from his private treasury, and renovated the ancestral halls, theaters, city god temples and other public buildings in the county to accommodate the refugees who came to defect. He also told Xu Rong to collect grain, rice, noodles, vegetables, and meat from all over the place, carefully preserve what can be preserved, and pickle everything that cannot be preserved, so as to prepare for a long-term war.

As for Qiu Yizhi himself, he did not fall into the gentle countryside and couldn't extricate himself, but had a long talk with Lin Shuhan and Zhao Chengxiao from time to time, summarized and discussed the reasons for the previous defeat, and wanted to study a set of ways to deal with the Lingnan King and the Lingnan army.

After five or six days like this, except for a few of the villagers under the command of Qiu Yizhi who had to continue to rest, most of the rest of the soldiers had recovered, and the eighteen pro-soldiers had already been alive and eager to try, wanting to be ashamed.

Qiu Yizhi saw that their morale was not bad, and they were idle, so he asked his subordinates to divide them into a group of three people, and took one day and one night as the time limit to inquire about military and political news. In this way, the intelligence news within a radius of two or three hundred miles near Shanyin County flowed endlessly to the small county town of Shanyin like a hundred rivers entering the sea.

The news is not good.

In less than a month, the Lingnan King's offensive became bigger and bigger, and the situation in the court was getting worse and worse.

Lingnan King Zheng Gui fought in Hangzhou, annihilated the main force of the Wenzhou battalion of the imperial court, and after killing Cui Nan, the left general of the imperial court, he personally led the army south to attack Wenzhou City. The forbidden army in Wenzhou City did not have a backbone like Cui Nan, and it fell after only three days of holding the city. At this point, the imperial court sent in Jiangnan Province with the intention of strictly guarding the forbidden army camp of the Lingnan King, but it was all wiped out by the opponent in less than ten days.

Jiangnan Province, the richest province in the world, has only about 100,000 local festival troops left.

Liu Qing, who fought in the Jiedu army, was a cowardly and incompetent person, but he also knew that his army was not able to fight, and when he saw the whole army of the king of Lingnan attacking, he did not have the courage to take the initiative to attack, but ordered the defenders to stick to the city, not to go out to meet the enemy, and wait for the imperial army to come to help.

Such a passive arrangement just gave the Lingnan Army a chance to break through. The Jiangnan Provincial Jiedu Army was originally not strong in combat, and its strength was smaller than that of the Lingnan Army, and under the pressure of the opponent's army, even if there was a strong city to rely on, it still could not hold on for much time, and it was easily defeated.

As a result, several wealthy prefectures and counties in the eastern part of Jiangnan Province, such as Wenzhou, Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Mingzhou, were already under the control of the Lingnan king. He even took advantage of the victory to wave his army north, and his troops pointed directly at the capital Jinling. Fortunately, the Jinling city wall was extremely strong, and Jiedu made Liu Qing block several wharves along the river in the city, which resisted several waves of land and water attacks by the Lingnan army.

Zheng Gui, the king of Lingnan, saw that Jinling City could not be taken for a while, and he thought that Liu Qing was still reluctant to hold on like this, and it was impossible for him to go out of the city to counterattack, so he was not in a hurry to capture Jinling. So Zheng Gui ordered Yin Chengliang and Yin Tai, who defected to him, to lead the Japanese fleet to block the Yangtze River, and ordered his son Zheng Yu to lead the army to besiege Nanjing and not easily attack the city, and he went south to leave Jiangnan.

Zheng Gui returned to Lingnan Dao, and immediately organized an army to attack Yungui Dao to the west. Yungui Road is also a place where Han Yi is mixed, Zheng Gui came here like a fish in water, first bought a lot of money to encircle several local big people Tusi, and then borrowed their troops to beat down several large cities controlled by the imperial court, and within a month, Yungui Road was in the bag.

Zheng Gui achieved such a big result in a short period of time, but he still did not stop, and after stabilizing the situation in Yungui Dao, he waved his army to attack Bashu Dao.

The defenders of Bashu Road had already heard that the king of Lingnan was like a bamboo, and they had captured Yungui Road and Jiangnan Road in a blink of an eye. In the local Jiedu army, those with backbone can still fight for a few battles, and those who have no backbone simply flee or surrender. Therefore, the king of Lingnan almost took the entire Bashu Dao without blood.

In this way, not only did half of the imperial court south of the Yangtze River fall into the hands of Zheng Gui, but he also opened the passage to Shanxi, Huguang and other places, and the country was already in danger.

At this time, the Turkic Piximi was not very peaceful, and began to constantly harass the northern frontier, and Dali Khan, the king of Bohai Zhongshun, had a hard time coping with it, so he could only ask the court for help, so that the 100,000 elites led by Zheng Sen, the second son of the emperor, could not fight in the south, and were nailed to the line of Youyan.

The imperial court was short of troops, but fortunately, Wei Hu, the right general who was arranged in Huguang Road, was good at defense, and took the initiative to attack and capture the Diaoyu City at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and personally led the army to garrison here, directly closing the gateway for Bashu Road to invade Huguang.

Zheng Xin, the eldest son of the emperor who presided over the pacification of the plague in Shanxi Province, also changed his face under such circumstances and led the battle situation on the Western Front. He also knew that the Jiedu army in Shanxi Province was useless, so he simply dismissed all localities, and asked for military salaries from the household department and the military department, and re-recruited 20,000 or 30,000 troops to station in Hanzhong City, the throat of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and held the throat from Sichuan to the north.

After such a deployment, although the imperial court suffered losses on the battlefield, the initiative was also pinched by the opponent, but it finally barely stabilized the battle situation.

On the side of Lingnan King Zheng Gui, after a thunderous and lightning offensive, both the strength and spirit have reached the limit, and the newly mastered areas need to send soldiers to guard and appoint officials to manage them, and they no longer have the ability to launch a large army to attack strong fortress strongholds such as Jinling, Diaoyu City, and Hanzhong.

And the imperial court was unable to use a large army to quell the rebellion for a while, and the situation was at a stalemate for a while.

In addition to hearing about such a situation, Qiu Yizhi also wanted to get instructions from Emperor Zheng Rong, but Shanyin County had to pass through Jinling City to the capital Luoyang, and Jinling was surrounded by the Lingnan army led by Zheng Yu and three layers outside, and even water could not be poured in, let alone pick up a big living person with major news.

So Qiu Yizhi was in Shanyin County, like a lonely boat hanging overseas, and lost contact with the imperial court, so he could only stand still and defend the city first.

Zheng Yu, who presided over the military affairs of the Lingnan Army in Jiangnan Province, was strictly ordered by his father Zheng Gui to only surround Jinling and not move, and did not dare to expand the territory, so San'in County, which was surrounded by mountains, was also very peaceful and quiet.

It is precisely because of this reason that the people of the neighboring counties heard that Shanyin County was still a stable place, so they dragged their families and ran to run, not only the empty inns in the county town were full, but even the newly built temples and ancestral halls were also full of people. In this way, more and more refugees continue to gather.

Qiu Yizhi had no choice but to set up a camp under Shanyin City, and the village brave regiment under his own command trained patrols and guards, and specially provided temporary residence for refugees.

In this way, after another ten days, the autumn wind suddenly rose, and the weather gradually became colder.

Qiu Yizhi is an impetuous person, and such a calm under the danger makes him nervous day by day, and pulls Lin Shuhan every day to study and discuss countermeasures.

Lin Shuhan was very relaxed and determined, and said to Qiu Yizhi with a smile: "The emperor is not in a hurry, the king of Lingnan is not in a hurry, what are you anxious about, my lord?" ”

Qiu Yizhi frowned and said, "That's what I'm worried about. If the king of Lingnan made a desperate bet and raised heavy troops to attack Luoyang, it would not be difficult to win with the strength of the imperial court and the barrier to rely on. Mr. Ke looked at the current measures of the King of Lingnan, and it was clear that he wanted to consolidate the newly won states and counties, accumulate strength, and fight against the imperial court. If this continues, I don't know how much time and strength it will take the imperial court to quell the rebellion. ”

Lin Shuhan couldn't help but get nervous when he heard Qiu Yizhi's words, pulled out the newly painted fan in his hand and slapped it on his face a few times, but he felt cold, quickly put it away, frowned and said, "When the adults said this, the students felt afraid. This Lingnan King is worthy of being a big man who has led and suppressed Lingnan Dao for more than ten years, and he is the only way to take the world and keep the world! ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded, and listened to Lin Shuhan say again: "The King of Lingnan really has real talent and learning. However, there is one point, the students are dull and some can't figure it out. ”

Qiu Yizhi fiddled with the tea bowl on the table in front of him, but he didn't drink it, and asked, "Is there something that Mr. Lin can't figure out?" ”

Lin Shuhan's face was serious, and he said: "My lord, you might as well think about it, the strong cities of Lingnan King in Hangzhou, Wenzhou, Yungui, and Bashu are all invincible and unfavorable. With the ability of the King of Lingnan, he should have raised troops to fight for the world a long time ago, so why wait until the emperor has sat firmly on the dragon chair before taking the risk? ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Sir, do you remember Tianzun Sect Master Wen Honghui?" How could a shrewd and capable person like Lord Xiang Lingnan take in this extremely ambitious and perverse Tianzun Sect Master for no reason? The king of Lingnan has ambitions and skills, but he has been dormant in Lingnan for more than ten years, and he is a person whose heart is like water, why was he moved by Wen Honghui, a villain, and rashly rebelled? ”

Halfway through Qiu Yi's words, Lin Shuhan had already heard the deep meaning, and asked in surprise: "Could it be that this Wen Honghui can contact the cult believers in various cities, and the inside should be combined with the outside, so as to facilitate the Lingnan army outside the city to attack the city?" ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded, shook his head again, and said, "This is a reason, but it is not the main one. ”

He stood up uneasily, looked around, and saw that no one was eavesdropping, so he said, "Mr. Lin is very knowledgeable, and he also knows that the Tianzun Sect has spread from the Western Regions. Most of the Western Regions are inferior to the Han Dynasty, but only the method of engineering construction is better than that of the Central Plains. One of them is quite good at digging tunnels. When they were digging, they had special tools and methods, and they dug quickly and well, and when they had enough manpower, they could dig two or three hundred steps in one night. In this way, when a city is besieged, it is possible to dig through the walls and send troops to infiltrate the city, and then the city will be completely destroyed. ”

Lin Shuhan boasted that he had read poetry and books to the fullest, whether it was a subset of scriptures and histories or a barnyard official's notes, there was nothing he hadn't read, but today he heard that there was such a technology in the Western Regions, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said hatefully: "These are all some strange tricks!" ”
