Portable Space Can be Summoned

This opportunity still has to be found on the battlefield of Qi.

There should be no other outcome than a quarrel in Cangyang City.

Unless Yang Yuan is willing to go down personally and defeat all the officials who oppose him.

This was not a particularly difficult thing for him to do.

But Yang Yuan still had no intention of taking action personally.

He has long understood one thing: a monarch must learn to be a referee, not a player.

Once the referee leaves the field, it will prove that Yang Yuan, the monarch, has failed.

When the Qinglong Army fought fiercely with the Qi Army in Xiaoqingshan, the debate in Cangyang City about whether to support the Qinglong Army and the Xuanwu Army reached its peak.

One night, Gong Yi received another letter, an unsigned letter.

Gong Yi was not surprised at all when he saw the letter. Obviously he knew who gave him the letter.

He silently returned to the study with the letter, sat on a chair, opened the letter and read it.

The content of the letter was not much, it was very simple, less than a page, but Gong Yi read it for a long time.

He had already read the content of the letter. He was just thinking about how to do what he was told in the letter while holding the letter.

From the word "confession" we can infer who gave this letter to Gong Yi.

Gong Yi had no choice. Yang Yuan had no choice but to let him do some things. On the one hand, he was the general summoned by Yang Yuan, and on the other hand, the military was more suitable to take the blame.

Especially in the Qian Kingdom, Yang Yuan attaches great importance to the separation of military and political affairs, and no one can cross the line.

The Qianguo military is also relatively closed. Only the Fifth Army Governor's Office and Yang Yuan can handle military matters.

This time Yang Yuan must have needed the military to help him with something, or should I say take the blame.

Gong Yi could not refuse Yang Yuan and could only think about how to complete the tasks assigned by the king while minimizing the military's guilt as much as possible.

The pot must be carried. Of course, one should choose a smaller one and a whiter one.

Gong Yi was thinking hard about something. Yang Yuan was lying on the big bed made of golden nanmu, his eyes were looking at the sky, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his breathing was getting faster. He tried to let himself relax.

But in the end, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Huh..."

Not long after, a snow-white figure emerged from the quilt. Upon seeing this, two palace maids immediately stepped forward to help him and brought him ginseng tea and a spittoon.

After the soft and white body returned to him and fell into a deep sleep due to exhaustion, Yang Yuan came back to his senses and had time to think about Qi Guo's affairs.

He didn't stay in Cangyang City for long, but he was getting tired of it.

Is there a lot of government affairs in Qianguo?

many!

There were so many that he couldn't finish them even if he had to deal with them all the time every day.

So will Yang Yuan leaving Cangyang City at this time cause the Qian Kingdom court to become chaotic?

Basically no.

In his two lifetimes, Yang Yuan had heard of too many monarchs who were too busy with political affairs to bring down their bodies. Some of them made the country better because of their diligence, but there were also a large number of people who were unable to change the current situation of the country even if they were diligent.

Therefore, whether a monarch is diligent or not is not a necessary factor in making a country strong.

The key lies in employing people and formulating systems and controlling the military.

Yang Yuan has been working hard in this direction.

Therefore, even if Yang Yuan is not in Cangyang City, Qian Country will not be plunged into chaos.

It's just that 90% of the officials believe that the king can make the country more stable by staying in the capital.

Therefore, there is no big problem for Yang Yuan to leave Cangyang City.

What Yang Yuan needs to do is to give Baiguan a reason why he must leave Cangyang City.

He gave this task to Gong Yi.

Who said he was Yang Yuan's most trusted general?

...

Qi State, Xiaoqingshan.

The Qi army finally captured the No. 1 hillside defended by the Qinglong army.

Dong Huan's doubts were also answered.

The Qinglong Army built so many fortresses, which was incredible. When the Qi Army broke through the hillside, they discovered that most of the incredible fortresses were fake.

And the fakeness is so realistic and so bold!

There were several fake forts on the second line of defense. The key was that the Qi army did not realize that these forts were fake when they attacked.

They just think that these forts have different functions from other forts.

The Qinglong Army used the first and second lines of defense to fight against the Qi Army, causing a large number of casualties to the Qi Army.

The Qinglong Army's own casualties were minimal.

After all, with fortresses, trenches, and low walls to rely on, at least 60% of the Qi army's attack was blocked by the defense line fortifications, while the Qinglong army's attack fell 100% on the Qi army.

Moreover, the Qinglong Army's attacks were very sharp, and they brought more soldiers across the river than the Xuanwu Army.

They not only brought over 300 long-arm crossbows, but also 5,000 hand crossbows.

There are also thousands of strong bows and some small ballistae.

These long-range weapons alone are enough for Qi Jun to drink a pot.

What's more, the most powerful force in the Qinglong Army is the spearmen, not the archers.

In order to capture the hillside, the Qi army paid a huge price.

Of the more than 90,000 Qi troops, less than 70,000 were able to continue fighting after they captured the hillside.

Dong Huan looked at the casualty figures in his hands, his hands trembling.

"How could there be so many casualties!"

"How could this happen!"

Dong Huan knew that there would be a lot of casualties in the past few days, but he didn't expect it to be so big!

One fifth!

After only conquering one hillside, one-fifth of the casualties were suffered. Should we fight next?

Although the Qinglong Army lost this hillside, their casualties would definitely not be greater than their own!

Thinking of this, Dong Huan's heart became heavier.

If the fight continues, will his strength become even smaller than that of the Qinglong Army?

When the Qinglong Army retreated, they took away all the bodies of wounded and dead soldiers. In the fierce battle, the Qi Army did not have the energy to count the casualties of the Qinglong Army, nor did they have the energy to take away the bodies of the Qinglong Army soldiers who died in the battle.

Therefore, Dong Huan still doesn't know how many casualties the Qinglong Army has suffered, and can only make inferences based on the approximate data collected by the army every day.

A "roughly" is enough to show how unreliable the numbers Dong Huan knew were!

What are the true casualties of the Qinglong Army?

Cao Meng knew this problem very well. It was not difficult to accept, but it still made him heartbroken.

Every Green Dragon Army soldier is his lifeblood, even if he is prepared to endure huge casualties before the war.

But he couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he saw each and every Green Dragon Army soldier fall on the battlefield.

"So many good warriors have fallen and will never return home. It's because I failed to protect them!"

In the dead of night, Cao Meng was lying on the bed alone, thinking silently.

As a commander-in-chief, Cao Meng must be able to withstand the pressure and pain caused by huge casualties. He must have a "cold" heart!

But he must not ignore death!

"The Qi army's casualties were at least five times ours. I still have four mountains for them to attack. I wonder if they can hold on until the end?"

Cao Meng was not worried that the Qi army could drive them out of Xiaoqingshan.

The Qinglong Army built a large number of defenses on two of the five peaks in total, including fortresses, trenches and stone low walls.

There is not enough time, so we can only build so much. If we give the Qinglong Army a few more months, Cao Meng will definitely build all five peaks into permanent fortresses!

Now we can only build some real and fake forts on the two peaks, while a large number of traps are placed on the other three peaks, becoming the Qinglong Army's outdoor combat zone.

The fortress front line can pull the Qi army and cause them huge casualties, and the traps in the wild are not bad at all.

Cao Meng was confident that the remaining four peaks could make Qi Jun regret it for the rest of his life!
