Chapter 675: Compassion
The huge fleet of ships on the sea rushed forward with the wind, and Guo Dapang stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the endless sea water in front of him, with an expectant look in his eyes.
It is undeniable that Jia Nian's strategic intentions are very clever, directly crossing the Yuzhou battlefield and ordering overseas troops to open up the Qingzhou battlefield. Moreover, the eyes of the people of the world are focused on Yuzhou and the western part of Bingzhou and Jizhou. In addition, the soldiers and horses of Guangling went north and killed more than 10,000 soldiers in Xuzhou, and the world was terrified. Xuzhou has become the third major battlefield.
Clear-eyed people know that the Yangzhou Demon Clan is dragging tens of thousands of troops at the cost of 30,000 iron horsemen, and has won an excellent opportunity for Yuan Jizhou, the leader of the stormy Renjie Alliance.
Without the echo of Qing and Xuzhou, the soldiers and horses of Jizhou will definitely launch a battle to conquer the eastern part of Jizhou.
It is foreseeable that this will be a big battle that will attract the attention of the whole world, and even change the pattern of the world. Let the Pseudo-Dragon Yuan Shu Alliance, which has already gained the advantage, cut off the waist, so that it will no longer be powerful.
But just when everyone's eyes were focused on the three states of Henan, Xu, and Hebei, Jia Nian looked at Qingzhou, which was completely impossible.
This is not a local war, but a great war destined to change the pattern of the world.
Liu Bei, the emperor of the people.
The corners of Guo Dapang's mouth showed a playful smile.
I didn't expect that I could actually fight with Liu Bei, and I was a little excited when I thought about it.
Judging from historical data, the early Liu Bei group's force value was off the charts, and it seemed that he needed to take Qingzhou and sweep Xuzhou. But fortunately, the general direction has been drawn out by Jia Nian, and he should be able to abuse them by sewing and mending them by himself.
After all, the current Liu Bei does not have Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong and others.
"Someone Coming"
"In"
"Bring the map"
"No"
A demon soldier replied loudly at Guo Dapang.
Immediately after the huge map was resisted to the bow of the ship, the four demon soldiers slowly opened behind him, and the situation in the world clearly appeared above. One arrow after another, showing this map, has often been deduced by Guo Dapang and a number of overseas generals.
"Governor"
Yan Baihu and Peng Qing walked over and bowed to Guo Dafat.
Originally, the two of them were moving troops and horses in their respective fleets, but in view of the imminent arrival in Yi'an, they came to fight at the same time. intends to win the identity of the pioneer, so as to win the first credit.
"Why did the two generals come?"
"The Last General Asks for War"
"The Last General Asks for War"
Peng Qing and Yan Baihu said loudly to Guo Dapang.
The two glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's determination to win. The expansion of overseas is almost horizontal, and except for the Jinwu country, there is not much resistance in other places at all.
Naturally, there is no way to frantically brush up on military exploits.
Now that he and the governor were finally ordered to go to Qingzhou, from themselves to the demon soldiers under their command, they were all full of strength and wanted to kill them immediately. In particular, those servant soldiers, if they want to become a common person recognized by the overseas capital, they must obtain military merits. So as to have the same qualifications as ordinary people, enjoy the due treatment.
Even when the military merit reaches a certain level, it can become an overseas knight.
"Fight?"
Guo Dapang looked at Yan Baihu and Peng Qing, looking up and down. I don't know how to think about their thoughts, but is it really appropriate to storm Yi'an now?
"Newspaper"
"Governor of the Enlightenment"
"Yi'an City has discovered the traces of our army, and now it is calling back the people who have reclaimed the wasteland outside the city"
A huge swimming fish jumped from the water to the bow of the boat, turned into a soldier in armor, and respectfully reported to Guo Dapang.
Looking at the demon soldiers who came to report the news, Guo Dapang hesitated for a moment and gave orders to the guards around him.
"The order goes down and the whole army stops moving"
"No"
The guards replied loudly.
Then someone ran to the top of the boat, waving at the endless fleet. This was followed by the sound of heavy objects falling overboard, and all the boats stopped on the water.
Yan Baihu and Peng Qing looked at each other in confusion.
Isn't this the perfect time to launch an immediate onslaught on Yi'an? Why did the Governor do the opposite? However, thinking that Guo Dudu was the former Guo Junshi after all, his heart was like an ocean, and it was a little inappropriate to ask rashly after all.
"Immediately inquire about the movement of Yi'an, and report to all the people who have reclaimed the wasteland outside the city after entering the city."
"No"
The demon soldier bowed to Guo Da Fat.
Then he jumped forward.
"Puff"
A wave appeared on the water, and the demon soldier turned into a swimming fish again and galloped away in the direction of Yi'an.
Looking at the distant figures, Yan Baihu and Peng Qing glanced at each other again. But in the end, he didn't hold back the doubts in his heart and asked Guo Dapang.
"Why did the Governor let the army stand still?"
"How many defenders are there in Yi'an City?"
"Less than a thousand"
"How many soldiers and horses are there in Beihai and Donglai counties?"
"According to the news from Hosaku, it should be less than 10,000, and most of them are reserves."
Yan Baihu replied to Guo Dapang.
Guo Dapang asked the two.
"With the strength of our army, are you still afraid of these reserve soldiers and horses scattered in the two counties?"
"Won't"
Peng Qing said categorically.
The strength of the reserve army is weak, so it can only be regarded as a source of troops, and is not included in the statistics of troops. Most of them belonged to the Tuntian soldiers, and they selected capable men from among them to form a garrison to garrison the hinterland cities. The main task is not to go into battle to kill the enemy, but to maintain law and order.
In the face of such a garrison, not to mention that there is a mighty army of 50,000 behind them, even if there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses, they can kill them and abandon their armor.
"Since it won't, then our army is already stable in this battle, so what is there to worry about?"
Guo Dapang said to Yan Baihu and Peng Qing.
Yan Baihu couldn't help but be anxious.
"Although our army has been ten out of ten, sending troops early can reduce the casualties of our troops"
"Isn't the life of those people the life?"
Guo Dapang asked rhetorically at the two.
Yan Baihu wanted to say no directly, but Guo Dapang was the governor after all, so he swallowed the words on his lips stiffly.
"The Governor's Words Are Reasonable"
"It's only a matter of time before Yi'an falls into our hands"
"Now that Qingzhou is barren, the people have finally settled down, and it is good for our army to wait"
Peng Qing said to Guo Dapang.
Yan Baihu was dumbfounded, and suddenly felt that Peng Qing was very shameless.
"The two generals must know that capturing Qingzhou is just a means, and my ultimate goal in Yangzhou is to rule Qingzhou, so we must be cautious in dealing with the people of Qingzhou."
"No"
Yan Baihu and Peng Qing replied loudly to Guo Dapang.
Guo Dapang didn't make a sound, just turned to look at the endless sea in front of the bow. As for how much of the stagnation of the whole army is due to compassion and how much is for the sake of future consideration, it is difficult to distinguish between them.
