Su Guo recovered all the lost territory, and Qin Chu also followed Li Hao to the border between the two countries again.

So he found Li Hao again and negotiated his return to Qi.

"Your Highness, now that the war between the two countries is coming to an end, I have no effect on Your Highness, I don't know when I can be let go, and I don't know what to do about the things I said before to let me return."

In Qin Chu's view, Su Guo has the pressure of Anguo, although it is a big victory now, it should not be a war on both sides.

After all, Qi and Anguo also have a tacit understanding, Su Guo really wants to force Qi Guo to be in a hurry, and it is not uncommon to open the border defense and lead the security army into the customs to jointly deal with Su Guo.

But this time Qin Chu miscalculated, he didn't expect Li Hao's appetite to be so big, and he was rushing to destroy the Qi Kingdom.

Therefore, when Li Hao faced Qin Chu's question, he was not in a hurry at all, but calmly pulled Qin Chu to drink tea.

waited until Qin Chu was in a hurry, and then he replied: "Hou Ye Qin doesn't need to be in a hurry, at most, in the rest of the month, I will definitely send Hou Ye back to the country and fulfill my promise."

Qin Chu was also stunned for a moment when he heard this, although he had thought that it might be successful before, but it was so smooth, and there was a specific time, he didn't expect it.

After coming back to his senses, Qin Chu hurriedly said, "Then thank Your Highness, but I don't know what price you need to pay?"

There will be a harvest if you pay, there will be no pie in the sky, Qin Chu knows this truth very well, so he wants to put the matter in front of him.

In this way, problems can be solved in time, so as not to have changes in the end.

It's just that Li Hao really doesn't need Qin Chu to take the initiative to do anything, because everything has already been arranged for him, and he just needs to passively accept it.

However, in order to reassure Qin Chu, Li Hao only said that he would think about it again, and he would inform him when he thought of it.

After persuading Qin Chu to leave, Ren Xin, who had been staying next to Li Hao, suddenly spoke: "You are really full of bad water, poor Qin Chu has to be miserable by you."

Although Chen Xi has returned to Li Hao's side, as a normal man, even if Chen Xi can handle things alone, Li Hao decisively left Ren Xin behind and used it as a personal secretary, sharing part of Chen Xi's work.

It also allows Chen Xi to put more energy into the firearms battalion and Jinyiwei, especially the construction of Jinyiwei in Suguo, which is the focus of the next few years.

So for Ren Xin's words, Li Hao smiled and said, "If you want to say that, it's too much, I'm obviously paving a broad road for Qin Chu, and it's much better to follow me to enjoy glory and wealth than to fall into the dust with Qi Guo."

By the way, let you arrange to go to the Qi Kingdom to pick up the matter of Qin Chu's family leaving, is there any progress now!"

Ren Xin expressed his attitude towards Li Hao's move of digging a pit and burying people with a cold snort.

However, for the right matter, he still replied: "Now that Qin Chu helped you persuade you to surrender, it has not been reported back to the Qi State for the time being, and the Qi State only thinks that he was forced to surrender, and there is an old man in the court to help him speak, so his family has not been affected.

The Jinyi guard of Qidu has already made a plan, on the fifteenth, the empress dowager of Qi will go out of the city to pray for blessings, and many of the forbidden troops in the city will leave with her.

At that time, the search of the city gate will be much looser, and then they will find a way to sneak into Qin Chu's mansion, stun people and smuggle them out of the city, and then explain the situation to them outside the city.

It's roughly the same as the smuggling lady you used to do, but there's no way to guarantee the attitude of these people."

Li Hao replied: "Attitude is not important, anyway, what they have is to concentrate on the incense, they really have to have a brain that does not turn, and directly confuse people, and when they meet us, the rest of the matter will naturally have Qin Chu's own headache."

"You're really not buried." Ren Xin complained first, and then he cared: "But you are really confident that you can take the two cities of Shuofeng and Huliu by raiding, you must know that it is the hinterland of the Qi Kingdom.

Even if you rely on your secret trade route and quietly transport the soldiers and horses over, if you fail to break the city in the first place.

In the face of the joint strangulation of the Qi army and even the An army, I am afraid that it will be a chance for Lian to escape back

Neither."

Previously, Ren Xin and Shen Tuhui came to Suguo through that trade route, where Li Hao used to engage in the trade of military horses, and the military horses given by Chu Yuan were transported back from there.

But even so, the steepness of the place should not be underestimated, especially from the outward extension of the trade road, otherwise it would not have been undetected.

Therefore, the men and horses sent out must not be able to carry much baggage, and once they are trapped under the city, the whole army will be destroyed.

But since Li Hao has made this decision, he will definitely not let them die.

This time, Li Hao moved out of the firearms battalion, a full 3,000 people, and 100,000 catties of gunpowder stored near the two cities.

If it was for this reserve, Li Hao had already arranged it a few years ago, and it was not easy to reach this amount.

Qi Guo is the stage that Li Hao needs to prepare for his next plan, and this battle must not be lost.

For this reason, they are all Li Hao's thousands of selected people, and the backbone of the army are all students who have been buried in the army before.

"You can rest assured, if you are not sure, you can not worry about throwing all the hole cards.

Now everything is ready, just wait for the lonely reinforcements to arrive, and this war of annihilation can officially begin."

While Li Hao was waiting for the prologue of the war, the An army outside Wu'an Pass was also having a headache.

At this time, they had already received the news of the defeat of the Qi army on the battlefield, and without them disrupting the battle situation, Wu'an Pass in front of them would be like a moat.

This also made An Guo personally feel the feeling of facing An Guo in the heyday of Su Guo before, even though he was full of strength, but there was no sense of powerlessness in front of him to show his chance.

So someone suggested to Li Falcon: "Since there is no chance for Su Guo to make a move now, is it better to let Su Guo go for the time being, and then find another opportunity in the future."

Now secretly transfer troops in the direction of Chu State, and take advantage of the fact that Chu State does not have much defense, biting a bite of meat from them, it can be regarded as not fighting this battle in vain."

As soon as these words came out, many people really echoed them, after all, the army spent a lot of materials on the dispatch.

There are many of them prepared by the tribes themselves, and there was no gain in the last battle, and if there is no one this time, it will really be unbearable for many small tribes.

Li Falcon actually understands that this suggestion is the best today.

It's just that the idea of attacking Su Guo was something he had agreed to, and the specific attack plan was also drawn up by him personally.

Therefore, for the sake of face, he did not directly agree, but said, "This matter is very important, I have to think about it again, you should step back first."

The ministers of the DPRK and China have followed Li Falcon for so many years, and they think they still know him.

If he really doesn't want to agree to this, he will definitely directly scold the proposer, and even pull it out and hit a few military sticks.

Now this attitude is obviously supported from the heart, but there is a lack of a ladder to step down.

As a qualified minister, he is still very good at finding the next step for his own emperor.

As a result, the court discussion of the next day was converted into another set of rhetoric about the attack on the Chu State.

First of all, he handed over a report from the border officials of Anguo and Chu, which focused on one thing, the soldiers and horses of Chu State crossed the border and plundered several villages in Anguo, which made the people there boiling.

Then a group of officials came forward to ask for help, saying that Chu Guo took advantage of people's danger like this, which was contempt for the dignity of Anguo.

Together, they asked Li Falcon to temporarily withdraw his troops and return to help, teach Chu Guo enough lessons, and save the people of Dawn on the border.

Anyway, it means how hateful Chu Guo is, and he doesn't mention the difficulty of attacking Wu'an Pass.

Of course, Li Falcon also understands the authenticity of this newspaper, after all, how can it be such a coincidence.

But it's hard to be confused, as long as it's good for you, it's okay to believe it.

So Li Falcon was immediately furious, angrily reprimanded the people of Chu for being shameless and insidious, and said that he must teach them a lesson.

The decision has been made, and the rest of the arrangement begins to arrange the transfer of troops and horses.

In order to surprise the people of Chu Guo, and at the same time paralyze the Gongye Gu on the Wu'an Pass.

Therefore, the movement of the Anjun army was carried out quietly at night, and even though there were fewer men and horses, the fire stoves and flags in the camp did not change.

Even from time to time, the Anjun army will take the initiative to attack the city to paralyze Gongyegu.

Gongyegu did not find out, only after the official war between An and Chu, and Chu was captured by the An army, did he know that the soldiers and horses in front of him were wrong.

It's just that it was too late at that time, and they had successfully retreated to Ziyang Pass.

It was very difficult for the An army to attack Wu'an Pass, and it was equally difficult for the Su army to attack Ziyang Pass, so after chasing to the city, Gongye Gu didn't even try, and directly led his troops back to the city.

Chu Guoren watched the excitement of Su Guo intently, and did not expect that An Guo had already hit his head with the idea.

Therefore, under the guard, the An'an army easily captured a city.

But fortunately, the Chu army and the An army had fought too many times, and they were very familiar with their attacks, so they quickly reacted from the initial helplessness and reorganized the defense line in time.

In addition, based on the process of mutual rescue between Chu and Su over the years, the monarch of Chu also took out gold and came to Su for help.

It's just that he didn't know that Cui Ming also had a headache when he received a letter asking for help this time.

Because his reinforcements had been sent before, Chu Fan and Zhang Yun led them to support Li Hao.

Originally, by the time they arrived, the Qi army had already been defeated and all the cities had been recovered.

At this stage, what to do after that, you should return to the imperial court and let Cui Ming decide whether to continue the offensive or negotiate peace with the Qi State.

But Li Hao took matters into his own hands, and after knowing that Zhang Yun and Chu Fan had already led their troops across Fengcheng, he decisively ordered the soldiers and horses that had moved to Shuofeng and Huliu to launch an attack.

With mental calculations or not, Qi Guo didn't expect that there would be soldiers and horses attacking the city from the rear, so naturally there would be no defense.

On the same day, both sides first transported a small group into the city in the name of a caravan, and also transported several artillery pieces into the city.

Anyway, there is such a thing as artillery, which has never appeared before, and it is impossible for the people of Qi to know, so the transport personnel said that this is a specially customized bronze bell, and they will be confused.

After all, they are all made of pure copper, and it is nothing more than that the cavity wall of the artillery is a little thicker, but it can't stand the money and willingness to build it, and no one else can say anything.

As for the transportation of gunpowder, it is even simpler, mixed with other materials, and Qi Jun will not check bags and bags.

At night, the squad that entered the city, with the help of the Jinyi guards in the city, set up artillery in the direction of the palace and the city gate.

directly solved the passage for the army to enter the city and the command center of the Qi army in the city.

Without the command center, although Qi Jun realized that the situation was wrong, he was not able to integrate it at the first time.

The defenders of the corresponding city gate alone could not stop the morale of the soldiers and horses commanded by the students of Yixue in the frontal battle.

The muskets that were arrayed and fired three salvos directly into the city, only daring to hide behind the doorway.

Then the musket battalion got out of the way, and the infantry began to charge, and it didn't take long to enter the city.

Without the protection of the city walls, one side has a clear goal, proper command, tacit cooperation, and morale is high because of the victory.

One side is inexplicable, siloed, demoralized, and doesn't even know who the enemy is.

In addition, there was not much difference in the number of soldiers and horses between the two sides, so the Qi army did not even support it overnight, and had already abandoned the city.

After taking the city, the soldiers and horses entering the city quickly changed their identities and began to strengthen the city defenses and pacify the people.

To strengthen the city defense, the city gate that has just been blasted open must be blocked as soon as possible, but it is definitely too late to make the city gate.

I could only find a large wooden plank, and then completely dismantle the government office, and use the wood and stone materials inside, mixed with cement, to directly block the city gate.

Their task is also to defend the city, and it is nothing to lose a city gate.

And also

The other three gates could be used to get in and out of supplies, especially gunpowder.

As soon as these two cities were in place, Li Hao immediately found Zhang Yun and Chu Fan and ordered them to quickly move westward to open up the passage with Shuofeng and Huliu.

As soon as these two people heard Li Hao's words, the one who reacted big, Zhang Yun said directly: "The major affairs of the country are in worship and Rong, and His Royal Highness has not received an edict, how can he start a war lightly?"

When it comes to the ability to drag the text, Zhang Yun is still a little worse than Li Hao, and Li Hao directly retorted: "Tu has no choice, the army does not attack, the city does not attack, the land does not fight, and the king's order is not affected.

The general is leading the troops outside, so he should naturally be on the verge of change, my father has ordered me to take charge of the war in the north, and the invasion of the Qi State is an accident, since Lone has found out, what is wrong with leading the troops to resist.

Now that I have made a decision, it is also because I perceive the emptiness of Qi State's troops, and it is a great opportunity for me to take advantage of the victory to pursue, is it possible that General Zhang thinks that I should give up!"

Zhang Yun was already inclined to Li Hao, so he also said in his heart at this time: "We generals naturally understand His Highness's thoughts, but when today's matter is transmitted back to the court, what will Your Majesty think?

Besides, even if His Highness wants to take advantage of the situation to pursue and attack Qincheng and Yicheng in front of him, why not take Shuofeng and Huliu, His Highness is really a fool when the Manchu Dynasty is a civil and military man."
