Chapter 115: Breaking through Linzhou
Calling Qi Qingru the emperor seems to be Yi Jiuxiao's intention, deliberately teasing Qi Qingru.
Then Yi Jiuxiao said: "Yi Guo wants to recruit talents from all over the world, reward military merits, and build a strong team, which can be cultivators or mortals. ”
"How's that mortal contingent doing, and how can it be solved that it takes money to expand the army and recruit talents?"
"The five thousand mortal formations trained by Wan Shufang, whether it is the overall combat power or the individual combat power, are only slightly weaker than the forbidden army. As for the funding problem, I naturally have a way to solve it. ”
Speaking of which, Yi Jiuxiao suddenly sold Guanzi, which caused the second daughter to be very dissatisfied.
Qi Qingyun urged on the side, "Say it quickly, finish it in one breath." ”
"I went to Chen Guo this time and joined forces with Chen Guo, which is a plan to kill two birds with one stone. Let's go and conquer the city, and after the siege, we will loot all the materials in the city, and then hand them over to Chen Guo, let them slowly clean up. ”
Qi Qingru was dumbfounded when she heard this, and said in her heart that this plan was too wonderful, nominally Chen Guo was taking advantage, but in fact, Chen Guo was making up for the leak.
"Is there anything else I need to do?" Qi Qingru asked again.
"There is also a call for some families to move to the border cities, we will ensure their interests, we will also ensure their safety, the cities that are attacked need to be inhabited, so that the foundation can be laid, so the state must develop a series of strategies to encourage this. ”
"Tomorrow I will convene a court meeting, you can also go there, some things will be arranged at the court meeting. ”
Yi Jiuxiao hadn't been to the court for a long time, and as soon as he arrived, he greeted everyone and made a lot of noise for half an hour.
In the court, Qi Qingru arranged and arranged what Yi Jiuxiao said, and everything was in order.
This made Yi Jiuxiao secretly surprised, the emperor with the hidden dragon body in the heart was different, and he was proficient in the way of governing the country at a young age.
In fact, this is really the case, in the two years that Yi Jiuxiao left, Qi Qingru governed Yi Guo in an orderly manner.
The domestic political situation is stable, and there is no dissent from the court to the government and the opposition, which was not present in the original Wei State.
The courtiers and the people respected the female emperor very much, and even the royal family of the former Wei State had no objections.
Of course, this is related to the strong support of the Empress Dowager Li Rong, although Li Rong does not ask about the government, but he is helping Qi Qingru.
After retiring from the dynasty, Yi Jiuxiao and Qi Qingru went to visit her in the palace of the Empress Dowager Li Rong.
Li Rong is now mainly focusing on cultivation, and he often asks about Yi Jiuxiao, and cares about Yi Jiuxiao and Li Rui's movements in the front.
Yi Jiuxiao stayed in the palace for three days, and then he was about to leave for the front line, and now that the government is worry-free, he has no scruples.
Before leaving, he asked Qi Qingru to give him twenty gold pills and 400,000 troops within three years.
This task was very difficult, but Qi Qingru agreed without hesitation.
Half a month later, Yi Jiuxiao returned to Yizhou City.
The city was safe and sound, and some of the previous arrangements were carried out in an orderly manner, and there was no war with the Zhou State during the period.
News came from the Qi-Zhou border that the armies of the two countries had started a battle, and at present each had won or lost, and the fighting was fierce.
It is said that Qi Changhao, the emperor of Qi, was very annoyed, and transferred another 100,000 troops in the state city and other borders, and five Jin Dan went to the front to help.
Yi Jiuxiao liked this news very much, what he was most afraid of was that Qi Guo was afraid of his head and tail and could not contribute to his work.
Therefore, he took the initiative to take the lead, took the lead in attacking the Zhou State, and took the four state cities of the Zhou State in one fell swoop, and made some appearance for the Qi State.
He let Qi Guo see Yi Guo's sincerity and Yi Guo's strength, so that Qi Guo had the courage and determination to fight against Zhou Guo.
It seems that Qi Changhao's anger has really been stimulated, and he has been troubled by the border of Zhou for so many years.
Today, there is a chance to take revenge and a chance to wash away the humiliation, and he is also giving it a go.
Fortunately, Yi Jiuxiao has not urged Qi Guo, and if he urges, Qi Guo may be suspicious because of this.
Trusting each other and ignoring each other can sometimes achieve unexpected results.
Yi Jiuxiao didn't hide anything from Qi Guo, and he also informed Qi Guo in time about going to Chen Guo.
This is a conspiracy and does not need to be concealed.
Qi Changhao also agreed with Yi Jiuxiao's move, the Zhou State was too large, and it was difficult for Qi and Yi to fight together.
If Chen Guo can join in, it will not be a good thing, and if he can't eat it, he will have to share it with others.
Qi Changhao has always had a good impression of Yi Jiuxiao, and he often thinks about what if he is not allowed to go to Wei State, let him stay in Qi State.
Time flies by like flowing water, and it has been five months since Yi Jiuxiao returned to Yizhou City.
Tanma sent a report that Chen Guo's army was already two thousand miles away from Luzhou City and was moving towards Luzhou City.
It's time to go to Luzhou City, Yi Jiuxiao said goodbye to Li Rui, got up and flew in the direction of Luzhou City.
Yunfei is now the Taishou of Luzhou City, and he has previously asked Yunfei to transfer the materials of Luzhou City to Yizhou City and Qianzhou City.
Now that the transfer is almost complete, all that remains is the transfer of the armies of the two countries.
Yi Jiuxiao went to Luzhou City, mainly to handle the handover with Chen Guojun's army and negotiate follow-up cooperation matters.
Ten days later, Chen Guo's army arrived outside Luzhou City, and Yi Jiuxiao and Yun Fei came out of the city to greet them.
In the camp of Chen Guo's army, Yi Jiuxiao met with Le Feng, the dean of the academy who led the army, and the two sides talked again about the handover.
Then Le Feng took two Jindan masters and Yi Jiuxiao into Luzhou City and came to the Taishou Mansion.
Yun Fei handed over some affairs in the city to Le Feng's men and began to evacuate.
The officials of Yi Guo withdrew from outside the east gate with the army, and all the personnel were divided into two groups.
Yunfei took some of the people to Yizhou City, and another Jin Dan led the rest of the people to Qianzhou City.
Chen Guo's men and horses entered the city from the west gate, and all of them were stationed in the camp in the city, officially accepting Luzhou City.
Yi Jiuxiao did not go with the team, but with Le Feng, the dean of Chen Guo Academy, to discuss the next move.
"Dean Le, which direction do you want to go next?"
Yi Jiuxiao asked tentatively, now that Chen Guo had boarded the thief ship, he was not worried that he would run away.
In fact, on the way here, Le Feng has been worried that Yi Jiuxiao will miss the appointment, if he does not hand over Luzhou City, where will Chen Guo go at that time?
But now that the handover of the two armies is smooth, Le Feng is in a good mood at this time, and the worries in his heart are swept away.
"Master Yi, you have been in front for many years, and the situation is more familiar than mine, you can talk about it first. ”
This Le Feng was originally an old treacherous and cunning person, otherwise he would not be able to be the dean of Chen Guo's academy.
He was not in a hurry to express his thoughts, but instead gave Yi Jiuxiao a question.
"Oh, Dean Le, in my opinion, we should take Linzhou north of Luzhou first. ”
Le Feng smiled and said, "Master Yi, why is it Linzhou, not Bazhou in the west?"
"Dean Le, I have considered this point, attacking Linzhou is because Linzhou is adjacent to Yizhou, which I occupy, and it is convenient for the army to move. In this way, we have a great grasp of attacking Linzhou, while on the contrary, we are alone in attacking Bazhou. ”
When Le Feng heard it, what Yi Jiuxiao said was also the truth, if he was allowed to choose, it would have to be Linzhou, even if he agreed.
In fact, he didn't know that Yi Jiuxiao had other intentions, the main purpose of fighting Linzhou was to ensure the safety of Yizhou, and now Yizhou was the state city of Zhou on three sides.
In addition, the occupation of Linzhou was to guide Chen's army step by step to the depth of Zhou, making it difficult for it to get out.
"When we attack Linzhou, Dean Le should bring someone to help, and by the way, he can take over. ”
"Master Yi, I'm afraid it's inconvenient, I just took over Luzhou City, and I still need to rectify it, let's go over after you conquer Linzhou." ”
Yi Jiuxiao's heart was full of contempt for Le Feng, which was obviously a ready-made pick-up. But it was also in line with his wishes, and it was inconvenient for Le Feng to be present when looting property.
"Okay, then everything will be according to what Dean Le said, I will take my leave first, and start acting from now on to keep in touch with each other. ”
With the addition of Chen Guo, Zhou Guo had already obtained the news, which made Zhou Emperor Zhou Dingqian feel very headache and depressed.
This time, Chen Guo was contrary to the past, and he acted quickly, and on the third day of exchanging credentials with Yi Jiuxiao, Le Feng flew north.
Intercepted the 100,000 troops on the way back halfway, and asked them to turn around and drive towards the border of the Three Kingdoms of Chen Zhouyi.
At first, Zhou didn't know what this army was going to do, so there was not much news to reach Zhou.
After that, the army led by Le Feng entered the southern territory of the Zhou State from the triangle, but only moved, and did not attack the city and plunder.
Zhou realized that Chen had invaded in the state capital on the southern border of Xinjiang, and hurriedly reported to the capital, but no one dared to take the initiative to intercept it.
As for Chen Guo's purpose, Zhou's southern Xinjiang defenders were not clear, so they could only keep tracking and reporting.
When Chen Guo's army moved into Luzhou City, Zhou's Tanma suddenly realized that the news was quickly transmitted to the capital.
Yi Jiuxiao's attack on Linzhou City this time was very fast, he had been saving up for a long time, and he longed for a battle from the bottom of his heart.
After arriving in Qianzhou, he led Yunfei, Qi Bin, Wan Shumad and 20,000 forbidden troops to march to Linzhou City lightly.
Before the news of Tanma, there was only one Jin Dan in Linzhou City, less than 30,000 defenders.
With such a weak force, Yi Jiuxiao no longer used any tricks, but flew directly into Linzhou City with Yun Fei and the three of them.
Then he raided the Linzhou Taishou Mansion, and the Taishou took to the air in a hurry to observe, and was killed by the four of them before he could gather the defenders.
As soon as Taishou died, the entire state city was left without a master, and under the pressure of the fear of war, everyone from the people to the sergeants fled in all directions.
20,000 forbidden troops successfully entered the city, looted all the useful materials in the city, and 10,000 people escorted them back to Yizhou City.
The remaining 10,000 people continued to loot in the state city, and at the same time, Wan Shu flew to Luzhou City to notify Le Feng to come and take over the city.
Yi Jiuxiao's efficiency made Le Feng very impressed, and in less than a month, he won a state city.
He hurriedly took two Jindan generals and 50,000 horses to march quickly to Linzhou City, and took over Linzhou City half a month later.
After getting the second city, Le Feng was very happy, and hurriedly repaired the book to Emperor Chen and Dazai Xuan Zhongchun, and asked them to send more people over.
