Rebirth of the First Emperor

,

spnIn July, Ying Zheng once again assembled an army of five thousand and began to attack the remaining four cities in Taihe County. This time Ying Zheng's purpose was obvious, which was to unify Taihe County and march into Luzhou.

Because the intelligence coming from other battlefields at this time showed that the current situation in Daqi was not optimistic, and only three groups of troops in Daqi were still alive.

The first one was the Wang family's army that split from the border town defenders. They were the direct descendants of the Wang family who stood side by side with Qi Wenyuan. This army sent troops from the border town. It made a fortune of 1,000 troops. In two months, it expanded to more than 10,000 people. It was considered a powerful force. Perhaps because they knew Qi Wenyuan was active in Luzhou, the Wang family's troops took another route and developed in Chenzhou, which reduced the pressure on the border city defenders from the side.

The second branch is the Huxiang Army under Ying Zheng. Originally, according to Ying Zheng's plan, the Huxiang Army would not begin to march into Taihe County until at least August. The current Huxiang Army is not very powerful, and he still needs to accumulate more experience. Ying Zheng did not intend to let the Huxiang Army become the leader.

However, the high-level officials of the Qi State placed bets on him, so Ying Zheng could only choose the right time to send troops and step into the forefront. The high-level officials of the Qi State had high hopes for Ying Zheng’s troops.[

The third force is the Royal Guard of Qi State guarding Zhongzhou. This force consists of the Forbidden Army and the Twelve Guards Army, with a number of about 120,000. It serves as the last barrier of Qi State and guards Zhongzhou. Because Zhongzhou is of great significance, so This force has never left Zhongzhou. They are only responsible for holding on and waiting for reinforcements, and have never taken the initiative to attack.

Of the three armies, the Wang Army could not return to the capital in a short period of time. Only Ying Zheng's Huxiang Army could do this.

As for the strategy given by King An Yi, the slogan calling on the heroes of the world to be diligent and diligent has been shouted out for a long time. Countless families in the world have responded. However, they are fighting on their own and doing their own things. They are scattered. The Qi court needs a powerful elite army to resolve the crisis in Zhongzhou.

Then again, the news that Ying Zheng ordered the assembly of five thousand troops quickly spread to all the counties in Taihe County. With the previous experience of Zhengshuang and Gao two counties, these people in power were extremely afraid of Ying Zheng, but they They didn't want to give up their power easily, so they all sent special envoys to Huxiang, nominally to have a good negotiation.

However, what was received was Ying Zheng's direct rejection, without any room for maneuver. Besides the first time, Ying Zheng's Yixin troops also began to reorganize, which caused panic in the entire Taihe County.

Ye Jianquan, the Grand Governor of Luzhou Tianshi Sect, just watched the civil war in Taihe County with cold eyes. Ye Jianquan hated Ying Zheng to the extreme. He was defeated by Ying Zheng twice and lost 30,000 soldiers and horses directly. It can be said that he has great vitality. Injured, not only that, but also lost the territory of Taihe County.

But Ye Jianquan had no choice but to silently lick his wounds. Ye Jianquan was also thinking about Ying Zheng's expedition.

Ye Jianquan could see that this might be an opportunity. If Ying Zheng wanted to unify Taihe County, as long as the forces in the other counties in Taihe County tried their best to resist, Ying Zheng would definitely pay a lot of price.

This is exactly what Ye Jianquan wants to see. As long as Ying Zheng's strength is damaged, Ye Jianquan will once again gather his troops to fight Ying Zheng and take revenge.

"Come here, please invite sir, and tell me that the Governor has something important to discuss with you!"

In the lobby of the Luzhou Governor's Mansion, Ye Jianquan was sitting in the main seat and loudly ordered. Once the strategy was decided, Ye Jianquan's mood immediately improved.

Since the defeat of the 20,000 Celestial Master Sect army two months ago, Ye Jianquan has been huddled at home and licking his wounds. All the soldiers and horses belonging to the Celestial Master Sect were actively training. However, a big defeat allowed Ye Jianquan to calm down and consolidate the territory he had gained. .

After that defeat, Ye Jianquan learned from the pain. He believed that the main reason why the Tianshi Sect army was defeated so miserably was that there was no counselor in the army who could grasp the overall situation.

The main reason why Ying Zheng defeated more with less than twice was that Ying Zheng was full of tricks. Ye Jianquan's men were all a group of reckless men who only knew how to fight. It was inevitable that they would fall into Ying Zheng's ways. Therefore, after learning from the painful experience, Ye Jianquan ordered the war in Luzhou. Looking for celebrities, Ye Jianquan finally got a counselor after a painstaking search.

Chen Qun once served as the governor of Dingnan County in Luzhou. He was later dismissed because of corruption. According to the current definition of rebels in Tianshijiao, there are only such people that can be recruited, so Ye Jianquan can only reluctantly accept it. Already.

Chen Qun was also very capable. It only took him less than two months to win the favor of Ye Jianquan. In Luzhou, except for Ye Jianquan, all the generals of the Tianshi Sect had to give him three points.

After a while, Chen Qun came to the hall under the guidance of Ye Jianquan's personal guard. Ye Jianquan stood up to greet him. This ordinary move could tell how much Ye Jianquan loved Chen Qun.

"The Governor suddenly summoned his subordinates. Could it be that something happened in Taihe County?"

Chen Qun was about forty years old, and his appearance was good. He was as fair and fair as all the scholars. As soon as he entered the door, Chen Qun asked, "Chen Qun is now the chief clerk of the Governor's Mansion, that's why he has such a good appearance." The self-proclaimed official.[

It was this question that made Ye Jianquan take another high look at Chen Qun. He thought that Chen Qun was extremely intelligent. Otherwise, how could he have thought so quickly that something had happened in Taihe County?

"Sir, the frontline scouts came to report that Ying Zheng sent 5,000 troops to attack the remaining counties in Taihe County. The other counties wanted to negotiate with Ying Zheng, but were rejected. Currently, the remaining counties in Taihe County are actively preparing for war. I don't know, sir. What do you think about this matter?"

Because he thought highly of Chen Qun, Ye Jianquan became more and more respectful to Chen Qun.

"Presumably the Grand Governor already has an idea in his mind, so Chen Qun won't show off his shame. Why don't the Grand Governor tell his idea and let the subordinates take a closer look at it!"

Chen Qun glanced at Ye Jianquan, who was very proud of himself, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he became suspicious, so he spoke out.

"Haha, I can't hide anything from you sir. This is what I think. Since Ying Zheng likes to toss so much, then let him do it. Our Tianshijiao only needs to use some small tricks in secret to let Ying Zheng go and fight with him. All the forces in the counties can do is fight each other, it’s best if both sides suffer losses and we, the Heavenly Master Sect, reap the benefits!”

Ye Jianquan laughed loudly and was very proud. He didn't know whether he was proud of this strategy, or because of Chen Qun's intelligence, or maybe both.

"It is indeed a good strategy to sit on a mountain and watch tigers fight, and then get a sudden attack from behind. The wisdom of the Grand Governor Chen Qun is not as good as that!"

Chen Qun thought quietly for a while, then slowly bowed to Ye Jianquan and said, almost forgetting about himself because of Ye Jianquan's words.
