Chapter Forty-Eight—Surprise Assault (Part II)
Of course, Li Fu is not completely trying his best to help Qi State fight for external interests in order to increase the current bargaining chips in all aspects. In the depths of Li Fu's heart, he actually has a more far-reaching purpose, which is to win the hearts and minds of the people within the Qi State from the war dividends of defeating the imperial Chen family and seeking the greatest benefits from leaving the country. Then, it paved the way for their father and son to seize the world of the Tian family, the royal family of Qi.
Li Fu's heart is like a mirror, in fact, now with his ability to control almost all the troops of the Qi State, and the government is also in the hands of his father, in fact, if he wants to forcibly ascend the throne, it is not a big problem at that time, and the problem will naturally become prominent over time. So, during this period of time, Li Fu has been thinking that if he can do this, then the people's will will naturally move closer to them, and the recent batch of officials and soldiers are also reused by them and ascended to the top of the position, all of which are preparing for them to seize the world.
However, Li Fu also understands now that it will take a while to do these things well, and it is not possible to complete it by thinking about it like this, not only to consider the current actions and reactions of the royal Chen family, but also to consider the departure from the country that may be mixed in at any time. These things are not so simple to explain.
After Li Fu and Mei Lin personally led the army to leave Xiao Pass, the garrison in Xiao Pass was only a little more than 10,000, and because of the departure of the heavy armored cavalry, Lu Deng and Xia Liuli, who were advancing with the army, also secretly went north with Li Fu's main army, preparing to implement the plan of sneak attack on Thorn City.
The current Xiao Guan guard general, the main general is not Li Fu's deputy general, but Yu Fei, who rushed to the battlefield at the time of the key battle and turned the situation around. Let this woman serve as the chief general of the customs and establish a grain transportation channel from the beginning of the Qi Kingdom, this burden is not very heavy. Because Yu Fei herself is a saint of the Ming clan, she has studied management since she was a child, and now the strategic focus has shifted to Xiaoguan, and she is gradually moving closer to the vicinity of Checheng. In addition, Yu Fei's special status, once she gains her support, it is equivalent to controlling one of the intertwined forces in the Qi State, which is very beneficial to their situation. It is precisely because of these two reasons that Li Fu handed over Xiao Guan to the person who needed to be encircled the most, Yu Fei, the saint of the Ming clan.
Of course, it's not just Yu Fei alone, her two good sisters, Nangong Yun and Lin Xuejun, also stayed in this Xiao Pass as two deputy generals. Originally, Li Fu was also worried that the three young women, Yu Fei, Nangong Yun and Lin Xuejun, would not only not be able to deter these soldiers, but might even have some problems. But it turns out that Li Fu's worries are a little redundant, Yu Fei's methods themselves are very ruthless, coupled with the special soul ability that the three of them carry in their bodies, in less than an hour, Yu Fei, Nangong Yun and Lin Xuejun The three girls have completely grasped the situation in front of them, making the soldiers convinced of them and not daring to give birth to the slightest transgression.
Early this morning, Yu Fei received a letter from Li Fu, in which Li Fu asked them to stabilize the situation and see the current situation in Xiaoguan before sending troops to transport grain and grass. And Yu Fei has also sent scouts to various places to investigate the situation, and after the situation is clear, he will consider transporting grain and grass to the front line.
These two days are the beginning of spring, and the people everywhere in Xiaoguan have also started the new year's work, although this winter has been shrouded in the shadow of a large-scale battle that may break out at any time, but the daily life of the people is still going on like this. Taking advantage of the very calm season in Xiaoguan in the past two days, these simple and kind people have begun their diligent work in the new year. They went up the mountain or into the fields, relying on their simple and kind temperament and perseverance to begin to plant the fruits of the future harvest.
However, it is normal for people to do this. But it really made Yu Fei a little worried in her heart, so that the people go back and forth every day, and all the gates of Xiaoguan need to be opened, otherwise the people will be blocked outside the pass. And what Yu Fei is worried about is that if it goes on like this, maybe the royal Chen family detectives who originally needed to think about how to infiltrate this Xiao Pass could directly enter this Xiao Pass without much effort. What the possible consequences of this would be, Fattening herself could not say now, because she could not stop the people from acting like this. Their Qi State only took advantage of an opportunity to occupy this Xiao Pass, and the people's hearts in Xiao Pass are not stable, once she orders the city gate to be closed, I am afraid that the people will complain, and even evolve into not supporting their Qi State. Such a result is something that Yu Fei can't accept.
So, early this morning, Yu Fei had already stood on top of the city tower early, staring at the backs and appearances of the people walking out of this city gate briskly, these people's movements were very joyful, but Yu Fei was very worried, her eyes were very complicated.
At this time, Nangong Yun and Lin Xuejun, who were Xiao Guan's deputy generals, also walked quickly to the city wall, and they looked at Yu Fei, who had a very complicated gaze in front of them. Nangong Yun couldn't help but smile slightly, walked over quickly, and said with a smile: "But I'm worried that the spies of the Chen family of the royal family will take the opportunity to directly blend into Xiao Guan, which may bring unknown risks, is that so?"
Yu Fei nodded, "This result is very likely to be very difficult, although such a result will not affect the overall situation for us, but in fact, such various things are likely to converge into this, which directly leads to the direct collapse of the most critical things." Because the situation in the north is unclear now, once our Qi country's front army is defeated, I am afraid that the current situation here will be completely reversed. We can't afford such an outcome. ”
After hearing Yu Fei's thoughtful muttering, Nangong Yun took out a sealed letter from his bosom. With a smile, he handed it to Yu Fei's hand, and said with a smile: "This is the letter left by Yu Chong and Shanshan when they left this place before, you can see what they said first." ”
Yu Fei didn't expect that Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two brothers and sisters who had just left this place some time earlier than them, still had news for them, so Yu Fei took the letter in front of her from Nangong Yun's hand, slowly took out the letter and opened it in her hand.
When Nangong Yun received this letter before, it happened that Yu Fei left Xiao Guan's mansion early and came to the city tower to watch the situation, because Lin Xuejun was now at the critical stage of breaking through, Nangong Yun personally came out and handed over the letter to Yu Fei. Nangong Yun was very confident, they Xiao Guan were actually not very afraid of the spies of the Chen family of the royal family entering this place now. Because the strategic center of gravity has been tilted towards the line of the royal family's Chen Family, Qicheng, and Thorn City, Xiaoguan, where they are now, is actually not too risky.
Yu Fei's brow gradually relaxed, and her previous worries were now dispelled with the arrival of this letter. In that case, what they need to do now is to do the crucial task of logistics and transshipment. When he finally attacked the city, he looked for an opportunity to ask Li Fu and asked them to join the battle.
Yu Fei folded the letter and put it back in her arms again, this letter was enough to dispel these concerns in her heart now, so she smiled and said to Nangong Yun in front of her: "Now we don't have to worry about Sister Xuejun, in this case, let's go to Xiaoguan Market to have a look, it's been a while since we've been here, and we don't have time to take a good look at Xiaoguan who is now under our control." Yun'er, what do you think?"
Nangong Yun sneered, "I thought you were the kind of guy who was one-eyed, but I didn't expect to be flexible quite quickly." Let's go. After speaking, Nangong Yun's body flashed away, and his lightning-fast body flew directly away from the city tower.
Yu Fei shouted angrily: "You guy, I know that I can't catch up with you at speed, and you still run so fast! This is really" Although he said complaining words, Yu Fei's pace did not slow down, but used light skills to jump down directly, jumped off the city tower, and quickly chased after the yellow shadow of Nangong Yun
The news that Xiao Pass was lost, and the Qi army officially entered Xiao Pass and began to attack Qi City, had already reached Checheng, the capital of the imperial Chen family, in less than two days after this incident happened. Chen Xuan, the head of the Chen family of the royal family, was deeply panicked, and immediately summoned all the officials under his command who were still in Checheng to immediately gather in the Taiji Hall of the Checheng Royal Palace to discuss countermeasures. And the opinions put forward by these officials are also relatively unified, now that the Qi State is in full swing, and the troops leaving the country in the border areas are also showing signs of dispatching, once the military strength of these two aspects is brought together, I am afraid that the current situation is not something they can control. And once the Qi army leaves the country and attacks them, I am afraid that they are now about to face the greatest threat since independence.
As a result, the idea put forward by the stabilization faction led by Wang Ren is now inevitable, and the number of troops originally stationed in Xiaoguan is not enough to withstand the 50,000 troops of the Qi State. And since this is the case, it is necessary to immediately send additional troops to garrison Qicheng, and the Qi army must not be allowed to occupy Qicheng, once Qicheng is occupied, I am afraid that Rayong County, which is closest to Qicheng, will suffer an unprecedented threat. And after blocking the advance of the Qi army, he turned his head and left the country according to the requirements of the agreement, and he was not allowed to send troops to invade the border without authorization.
However, among the radical factions on the other side, some civil and military officials led by Xia Cheng strongly advocated sending Zhao Ling's army, which was still preparing secret weapons in Thorn City, to the south, taking advantage of the opportunity of the main army of Qi to attack Qicheng now, and recapture Xiao Xin's back road to cut off the Qi army in one fell swoop, so that they would have a chance to redeem their current disadvantage, and if they didn't do so, they might not be able to say that the situation in this situation would be reversed.
The two sides are not only-for-tat, but also aggressive and intransigent here. Xia Cheng and Wang Ren had a very deep hatred because of the previous battle, and in ordinary times, they fought openly and secretly with each other, and Chen Xuan endured it with one eye closed, but today, even if it was so urgent, they dared to do this, which Chen Xuan could not tolerate.
