Chapter 52: The Heroic Gentleman
"Uh...... This Nangong Han didn't expect the crown prince Qi Pengfei to be so direct and in such a hurry to be his brother-in-law, he was about to speak, when a coquettish voice suddenly came from behind him.
"You tell me clearly, what does it mean to be your brother-in-law, is it okay for him to marry me?Is your sister so bad?" Qi Mengxin didn't know when he came out from behind Nangong Han.
"I don't mean you mean it, I mean it's okay for you to marry him, hehe. Qi Pengfei hurriedly changed his words.
"Your Highness, Weichen and the county lord are still young, so let's discuss it later. Nangong Han can only use the young age of the two as a shield.
"It's not small, it's not too small, you'll be fourteen years old in a month, and besides, I didn't let you get married now, I don't know what this battle is going to be. It was the first time that Prince Qi Pengfei had said such a thing. It was not easy for him to talk to Nangong Han once, but his sister was interested in him, so he must not miss such a talent.
"That's right, what my brother Wang means is that let's settle down first, and you don't have to be in such a hurry to marry me!" Qi Mengxin mentioned his marriage leave, but he didn't have the slightest pretentiousness, which was very similar to Liu Xue.
"Well, Wechen is going to find Wechen's eldest brother, General Han Yu, so I won't accompany him first. "Nangong Han can only flash first, the brother and sister are the best.
"Qi Nangong Military Division, I didn't find General Han, you don't have to look for it, the last general has already looked for it carefully!" Hu Qimin looked at this future county horse, and his tone was very respectful.
Nangong Han really wanted to beat Hu Qimin up at this time, can I not know that my eldest brother is missing, I know better than each of you! I finally found a reason to get out, and you gave me such a sentence again.
There was no way, Nangong Han could only divert the topic: "General Hu, how are the casualties of our army?"
"40,000 infantry were killed and wounded, more than 3,000 were killed, and more than 6,000 were seriously wounded. Most of the 5,000 cavalry were lost, and the light barracks were ...... There is no life left!" This is the result obtained by Hu Qimin after roughly counting the people, and he is also helpless in his heart, the combat strength of the soldiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty is still inferior to the Great Qu State after all, and there are so many soldiers who have been martyred.
Nangong Han nodded, and without waiting for the crown prince Qi Pengfei to speak, he asked again, "What about Da Qu Guo?"
"More than 10,000 beheaded, the wounded are unknown!" Hu Qimin could only give a general answer, after all, the enemy dead can still be estimated according to the battlefield corpses, but the wounded are not easy to say.
At this time, Qi Pengfei's attention was finally diverted from Nangong Han and Qi Mengxin, after all, the battlefield of the two armies is not the time to talk about this kind of thing, although this is beneficial and harmless to Northern Qi, but it is somewhat disrespectful to the enemy who uses the lives of the soldiers and the blood of the soldiers.
"The death of 3,000 infantrymen, 3,000 cavalry, and 5,000 light battalion daring soldiers, plus 6,000 serious injuries, in exchange for more than 10,000 beheadings, my Northern Qi soldiers are not the opponent of Daqu Iron Cavalry!" Qi Pengfei sighed.
"Strategist, I'll go back to the commander's tent immediately, deploy the next strategy, and integrate the people!"
"Weichen obeys!" Nangong Han breathed a sigh of relief, and finally successfully changed the topic.
After returning to the handsome tent, the three marquis opened the mountain to perform cultivation and shield the divine thoughts. In fact, with Nangong Han's presence, it is completely redundant.
Now in my Northern Qi State, the 10,000 ironclad army under the command of Wang Wenbo has been almost trained, and the two armies on the left road are combined, with 15,000 light soldiers and dead soldiers, more than 47,000 cavalry, 80,000 elite infantry, 80,000 new soldiers, and 40,000 old and weak women and children. In this battle, the light battalion was killed, the cavalry and infantry were elite, and the losses were more than 10,000. There are 10,000 blood shadow guards in the Great Qu Kingdom, 40,000 cavalry on the left, 100,000 infantry, 50,000 cavalry and 120,000 infantry on the right!"
Nangong Han's words, putting the army on the left and the army on the right in the Northern Qi together, have already indicated the intention of redeploying the campaign, and separating the two armies of the Great Qu State shows the meaning of breaking each one.
"In this way, the combat strength of the Great Qu Kingdom is obvious to all, and we planned to make a slight adjustment. 5,000 of the more than 47,000 cavalry were drawn and trained as dead soldiers in the light barracks, Marshal Xia and Commander Wang led 10,000 ironclad troops, 20,000 dead soldiers in the light barracks, and there were already more than 40,000 cavalry and 80,000 elite infantry, which was the largest combat power of the Northern Qi Kingdom, 150,000 elites, temporarily hiding in the mountains and forests of the Northern Qi Kingdom, waiting for the defeat of the Sun family and the Qu family, and the battle must be decided in one battle! As for the rest, there are still 40,000 women and children and 80,000 recruits, how do the military advisors think they should be settled?" Qi Pengfei said his plan.
Nangong Han frowned, Qi Pengfei's move, the hidden strength is indeed strong enough, and when he goes to war, he will only be able to destroy the Great Qu Kingdom and win in one fell swoop, but it is all the elites of the Northern Qi Kingdom, and the remaining 80,000 recruits and 40,000 old and weak women and children have no strength to fight with the Qu family at all, so they can only die in vain. Qi Pengfei's move is certainly safe, and the strongest combat power of Northern Qi can strike with thunder at the most critical moment, but this is equivalent to sending those 120,000 people to a dead end! That is to send them to death!
"Your Highness, although this move has preserved the most elite combat power, but so many people have disappeared, how can you hide it from the Great Qu Country?" Nangong Han obviously did not approve of this approach, those were all people who were loyal to the country, the 80,000 recruits, all of them were under the age of fifteen, those old and weak women and children, all of them were old people who had lost their sons, or their husband's wives who had died, and their father's children had died, and they joined the war in order to avenge their families. How can such loyal and righteous people be sent to death? They are here to kill the enemy, to slash the enemy's soldiers, and to take revenge! They should be allowed to die generously, instead of being calculated to die like this, and sent to a dead end by their own crown prince!
At this moment, Nangong Han's heart was cold.
He just asked, "How can you hide it from Da Qu Guo?"
"This is simple, we can extract the people from the country, let them pretend to be soldiers, and then they will be infected with the plague and die, so that the dead are all the elites of our Northern Qi country, and only more than 100,000 old and weak soldiers remain. At that time, the Sun family will definitely not sit back and watch us be wiped out by the Qu family, in that case, as soon as the Qu family frees up their hands, the Sun family will no longer have a chance, and they will definitely make a move, and in this way, the Great Qu Kingdom will be in chaos! When the Sun family and the Qu family are both defeated, 150,000 elites of our Northern Qi Kingdom will fall from the sky, and they can fight a battle to determine the Great Qu! In this way, there is no doubt that the victory will be won, and the casualties can be minimized!
Nangong Han was shocked in his heart, yes, Qi Pengfei's strategy can indeed make up for the loopholes in numbers, reduce suspicion, and protect the elite of Northern Qi to the greatest extent, and only those old and weak women and children and those recruits will die.
In this way, it is to preserve one's own country, but in this way, the country will not be a country!
Qi Pengfei, I thought you would be a benevolent monarch in the future, but I didn't expect that you would be a hero!
