Chapter Thirty-Eight—Head-to-Head Confrontation (Part I)
Li Fu is not in a hurry to make a judgment now, he hopes that his most trusted strategist Qian Rong can analyze the most correct path from the current situation and let them go through. In this way, they can also support leaving the country to unify the Xuanling Continent as soon as possible without losing military strength and combat readiness. This is the most urgent move at hand.
Qian Rong pondered quietly, he knew that Li Fu was waiting for his answer, but the stakes were so high that he didn't dare to take it lightly. After a long time, he finally came up with a plan, and maybe this plan might work.
Qian Rong said in a deep voice: "I understand the general's love for the soldiers, and in this situation, what we can help to leave the country must be limited." From General Merlin's report, it seems that he is now facing a Xiongguan that is exactly the same as the Xiongguan Donglin Pass, which is the most important part of our defense against the feudal state. Does the general still remember that at the beginning, 15,000 people relied on the Donglin Pass to defend it, and they resisted the nearly 100,000 troops of the feudal country?"
Of course, Li Fu remembered this incident, and Qian Rong was actually reminding him euphemistically that even if he really wanted to help him leave the country, it would never be possible to directly attack Xiao Pass. In this way, there will be no second possibility except to increase casualties and hit morale, after all, even if they have been stationed here for several months, they don't know much about the situation inside the country, and now the royal Chen family must have heard the news of their Qi State's victory over the Feng State, so it is impossible for them not to arrange defense. Even if the imperial Chen family neglected to increase the guard of Xiao Pass, which was a male pass, so that the Qi State spent heavy troops to capture this pass, it was harmless, after all, this was only the southernmost pass in the territory controlled by the imperial Chen family, and it was really not a particularly big loss. But once the Qi State loses heavy troops on this relatively insignificant pass, I am afraid that it will directly lead to some irreversible consequences.
Li Fu is a great general, he knows better than others the current situation of the army within the Qi State, the Qi State itself can dispatch not many troops, and now it is already the limit of the Qi State army to be able to dispatch 50,000 troops in this way. Once their army is affected by the strategic plan and is unable to participate in the war, it will directly indicate in many cases that the army of their Qi State is directly unable to continue to interfere in the internal situation of the current country, which is a result that they do not want to see in any way.
Li Fu took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, sir, I am not a stubborn person, since it is not beneficial for us to enter Xiaoguan now, I naturally will not do this." Only, does the gentleman have any brilliant plan to solve the dilemma at hand?"
After thinking about it for a while, Qian Rong probably had a general idea in his heart, but now he didn't want to say it directly, he turned around and asked Xia Liuli, Lu Deng, Nangong Yun, Yu Fei and Lin Xuejun in front of him, "I don't know, what do the five of you think now, about this matter in front of you?"
When Qian Rong and Li Fu were talking about this matter, Xia Liuli, Lu Deng, Nangong Yun, Yu Fei and Lin Xuejun probably heard some news from this. So, naturally, in this kind of thinking, the five of them are also thinking about what they are going to experience at the same time, although they do not have official positions, but in fact, they are now the most famous people in this Qi State battalion, and in the previous battle, the Red Sect performed so brilliantly, so that whether it was an ordinary soldier or a commander of the army, or even Li Fu and Qian Rong, the two leaders, they were all impressed by Xia Liuli, Lu Deng, Nangong Yun, Yu Fei and Lin Xuejun. For a while, Xia Liuli, Lu Deng, Nangong Yun, Yu Fei and Lin Xuejun suddenly improved a lot in this Qi State camp.
Xia Liuli, who was a little older among the five young people, couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "I agree with the opinion of the military division, it is impossible for us to directly send troops to attack the current Xiao Pass now. The terrain was difficult enough for our troops to be deterred, and of course, the dilemma was enough to stop us from advancing. For us, the top priority now is to directly obtain the support of the rear of the Qi State, and then use the departure of the country to contain the royal Chen family, and we can also directly look for an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and find the best opportunity to defeat the royal Chen family in one fell swoop. I ask for orders, let's sneak directly into Xiao Pass, looking for an opportunity to directly learn about this Xiao Pass and the inside of the Chen family of the royal family, I wonder if the general can allow it?"
In fact, Qian Rong was thinking about this from the beginning, his original intention was to let these capable people sneak into Xiao Guan secretly to listen to the news, but he never thought that these young people would be so courageous, and at this moment, he could directly think of the reason and the truth without reminding him. So, Qian Rong nodded in the same way, "General, I think this plan is feasible, these young people are by no means idle, let them go to Xiaoguan We can rest assured." We will reorganize the army here, and at the same time send an envoy to directly contact the Empress Chen Xinyu of Shengde, who has left the country, and ask her to think of a way to weaken the imperial Chen family from the outside, and when the time is ripe, we will think about other things, such as directly attacking the imperial Chen family, etc., these are of course all for later."
Xia Liuli, Lu Deng, Nangong Yun, Yu Fei and Lin Xuejun also nodded, they also agreed with Qian Rong's plan, Li Fu looked at the six people in front of him who already knew each other. Naturally, he agreed to this suggestion. So, Li Fu immediately ordered Xia Liuli, Lu Deng, Nangong Yun, Yu Fei and Lin Xuejun to hold his golden order in their hands and immediately go to Xiao Pass, which is now the south of the Chen family of the royal family, and let Mei Lin arrange for them to sneak into Xiao Pass secretly and wait for the situation outside.
In the middle of the night, Xia Liuli, Lu Deng, Nangong Yun, Yu Fei and Lin Xuejun immediately got up and left here, and they went directly to Xiaoguan, the southern important town of the royal Chen family, which was located in the northeast of them, and started a new adventure. It's just that now Lu Deng doesn't know that the two siblings Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan are actually in the capital of the royal Chen family, which is about a distance north of Xiao Pass, otherwise, he will definitely invite Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan to go to this Xiao Pass secretly
In the Sanyang Restaurant in the north of the city, after nearly an hour of talking, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two brothers and sisters, and Kong Jian, the head of the Kong family, reached some kind of agreement, Kong Jian, as the head of the Kong family, he now directly agreed to Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two brothers and sisters, and now the Kong family will no longer help the royal Chen family, and in some powerful times, the Kong family will secretly support Chen Xinyu, the Empress of Shengde, who is about to march into the army to unify the entire country. Of course, the current rulers here are still the royal Chen family, and the imperial Chen family is related to the vital interests of their Kong family, and they will not choose to give up the royal Chen family unless it is absolutely necessary.
Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, actually know this, before this they had heard about these families from Empress Chen Xinyu of Shengde, when they were in Xuancheng, they also helped Li Dan, the prime minister of Qi, to solve the biggest crisis in front of them, that is, the family controlled a large number of fields and slaves and even all aspects of the shops, the power of these families is not only intertwined, but even has affected the normal operation of their country now. In their hearts, the interests of the country are some minor matters, and the things they care about most are their family and their own interests, which is why these families are not liked by the superiors and even want to find ways to get rid of them as soon as possible.
And Empress Chen Xinyu of Shengde is actually a person with a more genuine temperament, she naturally can't get used to all kinds of behaviors, and she will directly change her ways to weaken the ultimate power of these families. Of course, Chen Xinyu should not give up a rare opportunity because he wants to weaken the family. Of course, now Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, have not passed on the news to Chen Xinyu, and Chen Xinyu may not know the news yet.
Kong Jian said goodbye and left, Kong Hong sent his father away from this Sanyang Restaurant, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two brothers and sisters, hurriedly borrowed paper and pen from the hands of Qin Qi, the proprietor of this Sanyang Restaurant, and wrote a letter as quickly as possible, and then immediately wrote the news into a letter, and after the volume was sealed, they used the carrier pigeon given to them by Chen Xinyu's henchmen to send it directly back to Weicheng, the capital of the country.
After a short time, Kong Hong walked back to this private room quickly, and she witnessed the scene of Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two siblings, handing out the carrier pigeons in their hands, but now her mood was very heavy. After all, now that her father is here, he has discussed the general plan at this moment. This plan was even directly aimed at all aspects of the campaign of the royal Chen family. Such a situation made Kong Hong unable to experience this feeling of reunion with his father no matter what.
At this time, the two siblings, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, turned around, Feng Yuchong stared at Kong Hong in front of him, and he asked with a smile: "Sister Kong Hong must also know that now that the battle in the south has ended, I am afraid that we have no time to do anything else now." I don't know, does my sister know which link is the weakest in all aspects of the defense of the Chen family of the royal family, and the easiest for our Qi army to break through?"
