Chapter 296: Full of confidence
Aware of the movements of Xiyun Kingdom, Li Yuanqing wrote a few notebooks overnight, found a few storytellers in the capital, and told the story of the brutality of Xiyun Kingdom, burning and looting the people at the border gates. Despicable and shameless, he backtracked, and he also consumed the former Great Qi of the Western Cloud Kingdom through the war, and now he has the same way to consume the Great Zhou.
Gu Shao felt that it was too slow to find storytellers, so he directly let the readers in the city also participate, especially the young people, who crusaded against the wolf ambitions and shameless acts of the Xiyun Kingdom through poetry and writing.
Tozan's tried and tested method is now completely useless.
At this time, Tozan's heart was weak and he realized that something was wrong.
After the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Yuanqing left the capital with an army of 10,000 and went to the northwest city.
Before Tozan could receive a reply from the lord, he immediately wrote a letter and continued to send it back to Siyun as soon as possible.
Whether it was fighting or talking, Tozan felt bad.
More restlessness and restlessness every day.
It's only been a few days, it's hard to eat, my hair is falling out one by one, and I'm almost bald.
Gu Shao rode on the horse and gave him off, "Brother Li, this time I went to the Northwest City, and the journey was safe." ”
Li Yuanqing arched his hand, "Thank you, Brother Gu." In the northwest, Li has a way to win the war, and he also asks Lord Gu to stick to his own opinion and not retreat. At the same time, I would like to advise Your Majesty to clean up those who eat inside and crawl outside, and don't let those of us who are fighting at the border pass shed blood and tears. ”
Gu Shao responded, "Brother Li, rest assured, Gu will definitely fight with reason." ”
"Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, and Brother Gu will stay. The letter I wrote to Neiko also asked Master Gu to send someone back. Li Yuanqing said in a deep voice, Your Majesty wants to do a big job, and now he can't say goodbye at all.
When this matter was successfully concluded, Li Yuanqing thought of transferring back to Jiangnan.
Gu Shao chuckled, his eyes were quite playful, "Brother Li, don't worry, Gu will not ignore your letter." However, a woman as good as Mrs. Drey is admirable. If Brother Li doesn't take care of himself and can't come back, there must be someone else who is willing to take care of Mrs. Dre and the four children. ”
Others?
Just you Gu Shao, right?
Li Yuanqing looked at Gu Shao, this kid is not dead yet, "This doesn't bother Brother Gu, Li will definitely be able to win and triumph." My wife and children will also pray for me. Leave! ”
Gu Shao looked at Li Yuanqing's somewhat annoyed back and laughed silently.
Li Yuanqing has a concern, maybe he will love himself more and come back alive.
With Li Yuanqing's departure, the pressure on Lord Tozan has not decreased.
Finally, around the Lantern Festival, I received a reply from the lord of the country.
The conditions of the Great Zhou shook the national capital of the Xiyun Kingdom, and he resolutely could not agree to such conditions, but he had to keep negotiating with the Great Zhou and delaying time. At the same time, he urged Tozan to fan the flames everywhere in the capital, coerce and lure, and disrupt the public and the public.
The lord of the Xiyun Kingdom may have been accustomed to arrogance before the Great Zhou, and even if his own son was captured as a prisoner, he would not agree. Not only that, but another 150,000 troops were sent to attack the northwest city.
The army pressed the border, so as to put pressure on the courtiers of the Great Zhou.
Li Yuanqing and General Zhao had already prepared and received the news through the detailed work placed in Xiyun Kingdom. Several ambushes were set up to attack these hundreds of thousands of troops.
Because the army of Xiyun Kingdom was worried that it would be broken by the Great Zhou, it could only march as a whole without dividing the troops. Although it maintained its combat effectiveness, it was quite bloated because of the large number of people, and the line was too long to schedule.
Li Yuanqing consulted with General Zhao, and then divided his troops into four routes and carried out an ambush, disrupting the marching speed of the army of Xiyun Kingdom.
The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not love to fight, and when they finished fighting, they set fire to them with kerosene and then withdrew.
Several times and three times, the enemy was tired and disturbed, and the enemy advanced and retreated, but Li Yuanqing used his troops flexibly and achieved very good results.
The army of the Xiyun Kingdom suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and even more wounded, and the remaining combat strength was less than 100,000.
The last ambush was less than thirty miles from the northwest city. The grain and grass placed at the back were burned by Li Yuanqing.
General Zhao kept receiving good news, stood on the sand table, and sighed with emotion.
It's really a hero out of a teenager.
This sand table was made by Li Yuanqing, which shows that Li Yuanqing knows everything about the terrain maps outside the city and even in Xiyun Kingdom, so he can set up a simple and effective ambush.
"General Zhao, open the city gate, and we will pursue it with victory." A general on the side asked for battle.
"In the rear of the army of Xiyun Kingdom, there are also 20,000 troops of my Great Zhou, let's open the city gate to face the battle, and fight to the death with the army of Xiyun Kingdom." Another person also said in a deep voice, Li Yuanqing can't be allowed to take all the credit.
General Zhao looked at the few people who were asking for battle, his face was gloomy, "Open the city gate, isn't it to let the people of Xiyun Kingdom in?" These people have no way out, so they can only resist desperately. It's not a pity that you die, but if you lose the northwest city, you and I will suffer our heads and hundreds of thousands of people in the city. There are only 60,000 troops in the Northwest City, and being able to defend the Northwest City is a victory. ”
Hearing General Zhao's words, those people had no choice but to respond.
Because they also know that the risk of opening the city gate is too great, and if something happens, it will be the consequence of losing their heads.
The prisoners of war were still logging, and when they heard that the army of Xiyun Kingdom was about to hit the northwest city, they were even more excited. Even with leg shackles, he is not honest and actually wants to escape.
General Zhao didn't have much troops to manage these prisoners of war, and since these people didn't work well, they were all locked up. Laxatives were put in the meals. If you eat it, you will have diarrhea, your hands and feet will be weak, where else can you escape?
General Zhao, who was born in the scholar clan, didn't expect that there would be such a way to control the prisoners before, and even if there were, he wouldn't use it, but under the influence of Li Yuanqing, he felt very good to use such a method!
Li Yuanqing ran away after fighting, and not long after Xiyun Kingdom had just settled down, he came to harass and make him tired.
Not only that, Li Yuanqing also informed General Zhao in the city to cut off the heads of a few more captive sons of Li Xungui and send them to the army of Xiyun Kingdom. Sending a few heads a day, so that General Toli, who commanded the army of Xiyun Kingdom, collapsed in his mentality and kept writing letters to send them to Xiyun Kingdom. Along with the letters, there were familiar heads.
When the nobles saw the children's heads, they ran and cried, and their opinions on the lord of the country were greater, and their differences were increasing.
When the grain and grass of the Xiyun Kingdom were burned and more than half of the troops were lost, the lord of the Xiyun Kingdom finally couldn't sit still, ordered a truce, and stepped up the withdrawal.
This time, Li Yuanqing and General Zhao surrounded and intercepted, took advantage of the victory to pursue, and fought another big battle. 10,000 were killed in the battle and 30,000 were taken prisoner.
With the remaining tens of thousands of people, Toli fled back to Xiyun Kingdom.
With this defeat, in the next ten years, Xiyun Kingdom will not be able to raise troops.
The good news of the great victory was sent to the capital one by one.
Gu Shao withstood the pressure of the court, fought the basis of reason, resisted, and resolutely refused to be coerced by Xiyun Kingdom to negotiate peace.
The battle report of the great victory in the northwest city is Gu Shao's confidence.
