Chapter 34: The Flames of War Begin

Xiao Mansion, Xiao Qi's face was solemn. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Stomp, stomp!"

Footsteps came, but it was Huan Chang, dressed in white, who walked in.

"I've seen my uncle!"

Xiao Qi waved his hand and said, "Ah Chang doesn't need to be polite. ”

"What did my uncle call me for?"

Xiao Qi handed Huan Chang a letter, and after Huan Chang read the contents, his face couldn't help but change slightly.

"Half a month ago, Kong Wenzhao, the lord of Pingyang City, sent 50,000 troops to attack Wenyang, and someone in Wenyang City responded, and the city was broken on the fifth day. ”

"That Kong Wenzhao captured Wenyang, but he still did not give up, and led his troops to attack Bian County again. ”

"The county lord of Bian County was prepared, and led the officers and soldiers to defend the city, not wanting Kong Wenzhao to send a master to infiltrate the city, assassinate the lord of Bian County, and Bian County changed hands. ”

"Now Kong Wenzhao is marching north and besieging Xiangdu, but fortunately, the city of Xiangdu is tall, and there are elite armor soldiers in the city, so it is safe. ”

Xiangdu City is also in Shanyang County, which is the most majestic city in the south of Qufu, and there are many garrisons and masters.

It can also be said that Xiangdu is the southern gateway of Qufu.

If the phase is lost, Qufu will be exposed to the soldiers of Pingyang City, and the government and the opposition will definitely be in turmoil.

Speaking of this, Xiao Qi's face showed deep worry.

At the beginning, he reminded the monarch of the Lu Kingdom, but the monarch thought that the Juye Gang was weak and did not dare to start the war lightly.

Unexpectedly, Kong Wenzhao did not move, and broke two cities in a row.

In the entire Lu country, there are only three counties and fifty-two cities, and one-third of the cities are controlled by local sects.

Now that two more cities have been lost, it will definitely shake the country of Lu.

If Lu Guo can't give the army of Pingyang City a head-on attack, it is difficult to ensure that the rest of the sects that are watching will not take advantage of the fire to rob.

The most important thing is that the geographical location of Xiangdu is too important to be missed.

Huan Chang was shocked in his heart and asked: "I have lived in Pingyang City since I was a child, although I know that Pingyang City's strength is not weak, but it does not have 50,000 troops at all. ”

"Could it be that the Pingyang City army led by Kong Wenzhao is a rabble that has been put together temporarily?"

Don't look at the vicinity of Pingyang City, those bandits are huge, but compared to the regular army, they are not vulnerable at all.

If Kong Wenzhao is willing, he only needs to punish one general and dispatch two thousand armor soldiers to exterminate all the bandits.

The army is not the same as the bandits.

If you want to support 50,000 regular troops, you need to spend a lot of money and food, and Pingyang City definitely can't afford it.

Xiao Qi said with an ugly face: "This time, the Juye Gang is dispatched, and the rest of the cities under their rule have also gathered their soldiers and horses in Pingyang City and handed them over to Kong Wenzhao as commanders. ”

"With the accumulation of the Juye Gang for so many years, I want to come up with 50,000 elite troops, but I can't do it. ”

When Huan Chang heard this, he immediately fell silent.

The other party is an elite army of 50,000, and it is definitely very difficult for the Lu State to win a big victory.

If this army is not defeated as soon as possible, causing the covetousness of the top sect Daishan Sect, I am afraid that the destruction of the Lu State is just around the corner.

"Uncle, does the monarch of the country of Lu have a way to deal with it?"

Xiao Qi replied: "Because before this, I repeatedly advised the monarch that the Juye Gang was plotting against him. ”

"Although you didn't believe it at first, after it happened, you apologized to me in anger. ”

"Your Excellency thinks that I have a unique vision, and although I am a scribe, I am also proficient in the art of war, so he is ready to send me to lead 50,000 troops to suppress the rebellion. ”

Huan Chang was shocked in his heart, and secretly thought: "There are so many generals in the Lu country, why don't you send them out, but instead send a scribe over?"

As if seeing through what Huan Chang was thinking, Xiao Qi sighed and said: "The Juye Gang is no more than a third-rate sect, and although the Lu State is weak, it is not a problem to destroy it." ”

"The king is worried, the Juye Gang is a pawn under the Daishan Sect, and he wants to do that trick to divert the tiger from the mountain. ”

"The Daishan Sect and the Mengshan Sect, although they haven't made any moves yet, they can't be guarded against. ”

"The king sent elite soldiers and strong generals to the border of these two sects to station, wanting to keep the enemy out of the country, so he sent me to quell the Juye Gang's rebellion. ”

Huan Chang shook his head and said: "What the king did, I dare not agree with it." ”

"As far as I know, the Pingyang City Lord Kong Wenzhao is very talented and ambitious, and it is very likely that the sect is developing too fast, so he wants to expand his power. ”

"For so many years, the Daishan Sect and the Mengshan Sect have not had a war against the Lu State, and they are expected to be a little jealous, and they will not send troops easily this time. ”

"If the king can do his best to destroy the Juye Gang with lightning speed, it can also play a role in knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger. ”

"If you look ahead and divide your troops to guard against the Daishan Sect and the Mengshan Sect, you will definitely anger these two sects. ”

"If the war drags on, these two sects will see that the Lu country is so poor, even if they don't have the heart to raise troops at the beginning, they will not let go of this great opportunity. ”

"In the next thought, Lu Guo should first calm the rebellion of the Juye Gang, and then consider others. ”

Xiao Qi frowned and thought for a long time, then shook his head and said: "Although what Ah Chang said is reasonable, but after all, you are too young and your official position is not high enough, so you don't know a lot of hidden secrets. ”

"The Daishan Sect and the Mengshan Sect did not dare to use troops against the Lu State before, but now they are not necessarily like this. ”

"In fact, Jun Shang didn't care about the Juye Gang at the beginning, but in fact, his attention was attracted by the Daishan Sect, and most of the troops gathered on the border between the two. ”

"Compared to the top sect Daishan Sect, the Juye Gang is just a clown. ”

"Maybe it's not just the Lu country, I'm afraid that the rest of the princes will also be in war, and the day of chaos in the world is not far away!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Qi sighed deeply, and the worry in his eyes became more and more intense.

Huan Chang frowned, but he didn't say anything more.

He is indeed too young and does not have enough experience, and sometimes he has limitations in looking at problems.

And Huan Chang also believes that Xiao Qi is not a mediocre person, since Xiao Qi said so, I am afraid that there is really a hidden truth in this matter.

"Dare to ask my uncle, when are you going to go on the expedition?"

"Without further ado, after the soldiers and horses are assembled, I will prepare to go to Xiangdu. ”

Huan Chang pondered for a long time, and suddenly said: "I am not talented, but I have also been familiar with military books since I was a child, and I have learned martial arts, and I am willing to follow my uncle to the battlefield!"

Xiao Qi pondered for a long time, then nodded: "I know that you are an extraordinary learner, and the reason why I recommended you as the captain of the city patrol is also to hone you." ”

"During this time, I have seen your growth in my eyes and am quite grateful. ”

"Although there are some risks in this battle with the army of Pingyang City, if you can make achievements with the army, you can also win a good future. ”

"And this time I am the commander of the army, so naturally I will not let you fall into a dangerous situation, so it is better for you to go with me. ”

Huan Chang took a deep breath and said, "Thank you uncle for your support!"
