Chapter 68 Destroying Annan, Eight Thousand is Enough
"Li Mufeng, the head of the household department, this matter will be handed over to you!"
Zhao Lin's gaze fell on a young figure.
After returning from Lingnan disaster relief, Li Mufeng concurrently served as the head of the household department and trained under the hands of the household department Shangshu.
"Obey the order!"
Li Mufeng was extremely respectful.
This errand has a lot of room for manoeuvre, in other words, a lot of oil and water.
His Majesty entrusted him with such an important matter, and that was to trust him.
Naturally, he will not fail His Majesty's trust.
No one should think of the idea of this pension.
Zhao Lin was naturally very relieved about Li Mufeng.
What's more, with the supervision of the East Factory, no one can think of being a traitor.
γDing!γ
At this moment, the voice of the system suddenly sounded in my head.
[Open the system task: pacify the south, and the faith value reaches 20 million.] γ
[Reward: 1 God and Demon Summoning Card.] γ
Zhao Lin saw the system task, and his face immediately showed a deep groan.
Pacifying the south is the first step to unifying the world.
And this is first of all to conquer the kingdom of Annam.
The 500,000 army of Annan was completely wiped out, and now, it is a good time to take advantage of the victory to pursue and completely destroy Annan!
As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Lin's eyes also lit up, and then he said loudly: "Send an order to Xiang Yu, let him rest for a while, march to Yunjing City as soon as possible, and take the capital of Annan Kingdom and destroy Annan Kingdom in one go!"
When the words fell, everyone was shocked!
His Majesty the Emperor, he actually took this opportunity to directly destroy the Kingdom of Annan?
That's a big step!
As the saying goes, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the country of Annam has been annihilated for hundreds of years, isn't it a bit too rash to want to annihilate it at one time?
However, looking at Zhao Lin's high-spirited appearance, the ministers wanted to speak and stopped.
The 500,000 troops of Annan have been defeated, perhaps, that General Xiang Yu can really lead the army to destroy Annan directly, that is not yet known!
......
Jingzhou, Xiangyang City.
After defeating the 500,000-strong army of Annan, Xiang Yu and Yang Meng led their army to easily recover the land of Jingzhou.
Xiangyang City is the capital of Jingzhou.
The most important strategic location.
At this time, in the Marshal Mansion of Xiangyang City, Xiang Yu and Yang Meng were discussing their next move.
As for the military department, he has been requisitioned back to the imperial court.
Now that Yang Meng has taken over specific military and political affairs, there is naturally no need for the military department to stay.
"Your Majesty has issued an order to let General Ben rest for a while, march to Yunjing City as soon as possible, and destroy the Kingdom of Annan. β
Xiang Yu's hand, holding Zhao Lin's warrant, was immediately handed over to Yang Meng's hand.
"Your Majesty is really resolute......"
Yang Meng held Zhao Lin's warrant, and a touch of emotion appeared on his face.
The army has just experienced a bloody battle and urgently needs to rest, and it is impossible for His Majesty to let them march at this time, and it is impossible to replace them with ordinary generals.
However, the general Xiang Yu in front of him is obviously not a person.
"How many people is General Xiang going to bring to this war of annihilation?"
Yang Meng asked solemnly.
"Eight thousand light horsemen are enough. β
Xiang Yu said indifferently: "As long as you break through Yunjing City and capture the lord of Annan and the hundred officials of the royal family, Annan Kingdom will naturally cease to exist." β
"General Ben intends to rest for three days before setting out as a whole army. β
"So fast!"
Yang Meng was a little surprised.
Although he expected that Xiang Yu might attack quickly and would not stay long, he didn't expect that Xiang Yu only planned to rest for three days before attacking again!
"Chief Yang, what are you going to do with the 200,000 surrendered soldiers?"
Just when Yang Meng was amazed, Xiang Yu had already opened his mouth to ask.
"There is no proper way to resettle them. β
Yang Meng shook his head, "What is General Xiang's good plan?"
The number of 200,000 troops is too large, and if it is not handled properly, it can easily cause turmoil.
In case of a mutiny, the problem is even greater.
"Kill!"
Xiang Yu's body was full of murderous intent, "Kill them all, this is the simplest and most practical method." β
When Yang Meng heard this, an incredible look suddenly appeared in his eyes.
That's 200,000 soldiers!
All pit kills?
What a wrath is this?
was said so lightly by Xiang Yu.
"With 200,000 soldiers, the supply of military salaries is a big problem, and it is difficult for you to guarantee that they will not mutini and attack our army. β
Xiang Yu shook his head, "So, the best way is to kill them all and leave no one behind." β
"Killing and surrendering is the next policy, please forgive Yang for not agreeing. β
Yang Meng shook his head after a change in his eyes, "I must find a better way." β
"Ben will only give you three days, if you can't settle these 200,000 surrendered soldiers, when the time comes, Ben will personally lead people to slaughter these 200,000 surrendered soldiers. β
After Xiang Yu left a sentence, he turned around and strode away.
Only Yang Meng was left in place, his eyes flickering.
......
Annan country, Yunjing City.
In the palace.
The Lord of Annan sat on the throne of the dragon chair, his face pale.
Die in battle during the day!
The 500,000 Annan army was wiped out!
This is the all-conquering soldier of Annam!
Now that the losses are gone, only tens of thousands of defeated soldiers have fled back to Yunjing City, and there is not one out of ten!
This is undoubtedly a devastating blow to the national strength of Annan.
The lord of Annan never thought that the expedition to the Great Song Dynasty with an army of 500,000 would end up in such an ending.
Annan Guoshi and General Duan Siming stood at the foot of the steps, their faces were also very ugly.
They had advised the lord of Annan not to easily send troops to attack the Great Song Dynasty, and now, it has indeed ushered in evil consequences.
"Your Majesty, according to the report from the spies, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has ordered Xiang Yu, the general of the expedition to the west, to let him rest for a while, and then immediately march to Yunjing City. β
The general Duan Siming stood up and reported to the lord of Annan: "I'm afraid it won't be long before that Xiang Yu will lead the army straight to Yunjing City!"
The civil and military officials of Annan were all panicked at this time.
The strength of Annan has been almost damaged, and there are only tens of thousands of remnants left, how can they stop Xiang Yu's tiger-wolf-like figures?
This person is the culprit who caused the annihilation of their 500,000-strong army in Annan!
"National teacher, great general. β
The eyes of the lord of Annan fell on the body of the national teacher of Annan and the general Duan Siming, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old, "The country of Annan has suffered such a heavy blow and is already in danger, what good strategies do you have to save the country from danger?"
Duan Siming only thought for a moment, then bowed to the Lord of Annan and said, "Your Majesty, for the sake of today, only by asking for help from the Fire Empire and the Xirong Kingdom and begging them to send reinforcements to help, can we survive this catastrophe." β
"These two countries originally joined forces with my Annan Kingdom to carve up the Great Song Dynasty, and now the Great Song Dynasty has risen strongly, as long as the envoys are sent, Chen said the benefits, I believe that the monarchs of these two countries will inevitably send troops to rescue. β
"Good!"
The Lord of Annan nodded, "Immediately send envoys to the Fire Empire and Xirong Kingdom respectively to ask for help!
Now, as long as he can protect Annan, he can agree to any conditions.
"Your Majesty, asking for help is only one aspect, and you can't pin all your hopes on foreign aid,"
At this time, the Annan National Teacher also came out of the ranks and arched his hand towards the Annan National Lord, "Your Majesty thinks that you can summon the Five Poisons Sect Leader to discuss the strategy of dealing with the Great Song Dynasty." β
