Chapter 323

"What Gu Shuai said is that I was thoughtless." Ye Zhiqiu nodded, but his bright eyes were slightly dark.

Ye Zhiqiu really paid too much attention to the final battle of destroying Tianxing, but Gu Qingcheng's words woke him up. Now what Daqian needs to consider is not the victory or defeat of Tianxing battle. Since the moment he lost Heyan City, Tianxing Kingdom, which is only a lonely city, has lost its capital. Now, the more important thing for Daqian is how to quickly stabilize the people after the war, and how to weaken the hidden danger left by Tianxing's 500 year rule.

"In fact, what you said is right. We are all leaders, not planners of the overall situation. As long as we do our own things well, in fact, I hope Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu can lead the army to break through, so that they can be handed over to the navy of King Dijing of Heyang to deal with, and we will save a lot of hands and feet." Gu Qingcheng saw that ye Zhiqiu had a slightly lost expression and opened his mouth to pacify him.

Gu Qingcheng knew that their biggest enemy now was not Tianxing, which was just in the corner of the capital, but the tide of animals that could break out at any time after the collapse of Tianxing's national destiny. It's important to destroy the stars, but it's even more important how to keep the result under the impact of the tide of animals.

Gu Qingcheng and Shen Zhang, who are now stationed in Zhongxing City, will not attack Zhongxing city before the arrival of Fengxiang army and Yulin army, even if there are fighters at this time. Because in the layout of Lu que, Shen Zhang's thunder army will return to zhennanguan, and Lu que himself will lead Changqing Army to the south. They must leave enough time for this, Therefore, the time for the stars to perish at this time should not be too early.

Ye Zhiqiu saw that the battle between scouts and cavalry in the distance was coming to an end, and Li Chang's scouting battalion was better than the light cavalry in the star city. He looked at Gu Qingcheng and asked, "Gu Shuai, if Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu really decide to go out of the city to fight with us before the arrival of Yulin and Fengxiang, or lead the army to break out of the encirclement, How should we deal with it? "

"We must guard against them and let them go back where they come from. As for the specific details, I will go to Shen Shuai to discuss. " Gu Qingcheng thought for a moment and said.

"But in this way, the injury of soldiers may be much more than expected." Ye Zhiqiu frowned when he heard the speech. In his opinion, it is good that the hidden danger can be solved now, but even if it can't be solved, it's nothing. The 18 counties of Tianxing are in the hands of the army. They all have time to solve this problem. And they don't have to pay the unnecessary price at the end of the battle.

"There's no way." Gu Qingcheng sighs. How can ye Zhiqiu not understand what ye Zhiqiu said? However, if there are priorities, there must be choices. Although military strength is important, time is more important for today's Daqian. They must control the time of the outbreak of the Xiyuan beast tide in their own hands. Otherwise, Daqian will have to pay a greater price, which no one can afford.

Ye Zhiqiu's brow is even tighter when he hears that he doesn't know the fate of the beast tide, so he can't understand Gu Qingcheng's words. But when he saw that Gu Qingcheng didn't seem to say anything, he restrained his doubts and didn't ask. After all, Gu Qingcheng's official position was much higher than him. There must be a reason why she said this.

"Well, the cavalry out of the city has been annihilated. It's time for us to go back to the camp. Let General Li Chang clean the battlefield." Gu Qingcheng saw that the Qingqi who came out of the star city had been surrounded and annihilated. He pulled the thread horned horse, which was not far behind him, and had been digging the grass roots deep in the soil. He slightly borrowed his strength on the saddle, and sat on the saddle steadily.

"Gu Shuai, please go ahead. I specially asked brother Li to keep some alive. I want to ask about the situation in Star City to see if there will be other gains." Ye Zhiqiu bowed himself to give a military salute and said.

"So good." Gu Qingcheng nodded. He didn't have much hope for what ye Zhiqiu said.

The military system of Tianxing is different from that of Daqian. As the standing military strength of Daqian, the twelve main armies and the twenty-four guards are all professional soldiers who are given money and food by the state. Except for training and fighting, they do not have to undertake any other affairs. However, the military system of Tianxing is quite complicated. Although the army of Tianxing is nominally loyal to the royal family of Tianxing, only half of the soldiers are really supported by the state taxes, and the remaining half are the battalions and guards of general schools at all levels, that is, the private army in the general sense.

Even if the cavalry rank is higher than the footmen, it is not easy to get some useful information from them. This is not because they don't want to say it, but because they don't know it at all.

Ye Zhiqiu naturally can see Gu Qingcheng's disapproval, Hun does not care about the smile, he did not report how much hope, can ask some useful information, of course better, even if they can not ask, they also have no loss, right.

Seeing ye Zhiqiu's appearance, Gu Qingcheng secretly nods her head. Although she has no hope, she still highly appreciates Ye Zhiqiu's practice. Sitting on the thread horned horse, Gu Qingcheng took a look at the ancient city in the distance, which is not inferior to the eight capital of Daqian, and said, "Mr. Ye, you have 6000 cavalry under your command. You divide them into six teams. You ride around Zhongxing city continuously twelve hours a day. Once there is any movement in the city, or a large number of people and horses leave the city, you immediately report to Gu Xiang and me Shen Shuai knows. "

"Nuo ~" Ye Zhiqiu hugs his fist. Even if Gu Qingcheng doesn't say it, he will do it. Now, except for the 10000 fengxiangyun cavalry led by Gu Qingcheng, the only light cavalry outside Zhongxing city is the Fengqi camp and the scouting camp that Lu que has given him. They are in the business of setting up famous posts, secret sentries and Tiqi around. Naturally, they need to do this kind of patrol and early warning.

Gu Qingcheng takes a look at Ye Zhiqiu and gives a light rebuke. The thread wildebeest, who has long been in touch with her heart, immediately runs. The hundred Fengxiang cloud riders, who originally stood behind her, quietly as if they didn't exist, also closely follow his commander. From extremely quiet to extremely dynamic, they finish in an instant and form a small military array in the galloping, Firmly guard Gu Qingcheng in the center. However, Gu Qingcheng did not return to yunqi camp, which is located in the northwest of Zhongxing city. Instead, she went straight to the camp of benlei army in the southeast. She had some things to discuss with her father and Shen Zhang, the commander of benlei army.

Before Gu Qingcheng arrived at the benlei camp, the soldiers on the watchtower of the camp gate looked at Gu Qingcheng's flag from a distance. After careful confirmation, they immediately informed the soldiers guarding the camp gate. When Gu Qingcheng arrived at the camp gate, all the antlers that had been blocked at the gate had been moved away. Gu Qingcheng slightly slowed down the speed of the horse, but did not dismount and walk, After calling yingmen Xiaowei and telling him to inform his father Gu Huairen and Shen Zhang, the commander of the benlei army, he walked slowly to the position of the Chinese army.

"I didn't believe it. I didn't expect that you really came here. Why? Is something going on? " Gu Huairen looks at his valiant daughter and shows his pride. Although his eldest son Gu Qianxue is the successor of Dingguo government, his favorite is this daughter.

However, yunqi camp and benlei camp, one in the northwest of Zhongxing city and the other in the southwest of Zhongxing City, are tens of miles apart. They are usually contacted by Junzhong Xinying. It's the first time Gu Qingcheng came here in person.

"This is not a place to talk. Let's go in and talk." Seeing Gu Qingcheng get off the horse and give the reins to a yunqi captain, Shen Zhang said. He knew that Zhongxing city had sent a small number of cavalry out of the city, and that Gu Qingcheng had sent Ye Zhiqiu to solve the problem, but he didn't expect that Gu Qingcheng would come. He knew that Gu Qingcheng was not a man who had no aim. He must have something important to do this time.

"Father, Shen Shuai, I think Zhongxing city sent Qingqi this time to test. It should have been found that the badminton army is not here." After three people enter an account, Gu Qingcheng says directly.

"As expected, we would have been suspicious if we hadn't attacked for such a long time. What's more, we lost more than 100000 troops at a time. No matter how we hide it, we will be found for a long time. Besides, Heyan city has been captured by Fengxiang army and Yulin army. If the star city can't find anything, Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu will be too stupid. This is what we expected. " Gu Huairen smell Yan Hun don't care said.

"Don't worry, commander Gu. We may not have enough troops to attack the city now, but as long as we have 50000 running thunder to ride again, it's more than enough to lock them here." Shen Zhang also opened a tree hole.

"I'll be at ease with the thunder. But what if Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu lead their troops out of the city to fight against us? " Gu Qingcheng dusted himself, found a chair, sat down and asked.

"That's not just right." Shen Zhang laughed and said, "even Qiu lie's crazy lion army was destroyed under the iron hoof of running thunder and riding again. What's more, if the mobs in the star city really have the courage to go out of the city, we'll get rid of the siege in the future."

Gu Qingcheng shook his head and said, "Uncle Shen, only half of your thunder army guards Nanguan, and all the most elite heavy cavalry main forces of thunder army are here. Moreover, the main force of evergreen army is still in Qianyuan, the capital of emperor, and the immigration of twelve frontier counties in southern Xinjiang has not been completed. According to your Majesty's will and the order of waige, now is not the time to destroy Tianxing."

"It's a bit of a problem." Shen Zhang was stunned when he heard that he had been in the army for more than 20 years, and he had experienced dozens of battles, including the northern Xinjiang war, the grassland sweeping war and the xiaoqingshan war. He had never met anything to consider for his opponents. As Gu Qingcheng said, they are now facing problems, It's not how Tianxing, the last army, wants to fight a decisive battle, but how to kill them before the layout of Lu que is completed. This makes him feel very strange.

"Once Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu lead their troops out of the city and force them back to the city, according to the morale of Zhongxing City, as long as the casualties exceed 20%, Tianxing army will be scared. Even if Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu join hands, they will not be able to drive the army to fight to death." Gu Huairen thought a little and said. The reason why he became the Prime Minister of the army was not that he was the contemporary Duke Ding. His talent, ability and military achievements were all solid.

After all, although the Duke of the founding of the state of Daqian was at the top of the ranks of the people and officials, and could enjoy the glory of generations and rest with the state, he was the only one who could sit in the position of military prime minister in the past few decades, except Su Xingfang, the former head of the Su family. In his eyes, Gu Huairen's daughter Gu Qingcheng's problem was not a problem.

"Father, it's not that that I'm worried about, it's after we force it back into the city." Gu Qingcheng is not surprised that her father Gu Huairen can think of a solution in the blink of an eye, but what she wants to express is not this.

"After being forced back into the city?" Gu Huairen was stunned, turned his head and looked at Shen Zhang. A touch of worry and dignity flashed in their eyes.

Since the beginning of the star wars, Qiu Xu has been forced by Gu Qingcheng to retreat by wolves. Yan Tuohai has also lost the Huangyanjiang defense line, and even the only heavy cavalry built by Tianxing has been folded in the way of retreat. The reason why they are able to stabilize the situation of Tianxing capital in such a dangerous situation is that they still have a large army in their hands, and they also have some prestige, After all, Qiu Xu's retreat at Hekou and Yan Tuohai's abandonment of the Huangyan River defense line were both for the sake of preserving his strength, which was not a crime of war.

However, if they lead their troops out of the city and lose for a while, not only will the morale of the army, which has been barely maintained, decline again, but also their own prestige will be seriously hit. At that time, a series of chain reactions will take place in the city. After all, Tianxing's court has never been monolithic, and those noble families have their own ideas. In case of internal strife in the city, Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu lose power, and the noble family of tianxingqing surrender to the city in order to save the family. Even if they can destroy Tianxing without blood, they lose the overall strategic situation.

Once this happened, Da Qian had to face the tide of animals before he was ready. Gu Huairen and Shen Zhang did not want to see this situation.

"Qing Cheng, you are involved in this matter. Do you have a solution?" Gu Huairen rubs his eyebrows and thinks about the success and failure over and over again. Gu Huairen also has a headache over the complicated situation of the whole body. He can't help but ask Gu Qingcheng. He knew his daughter's temperament, and since she could think of it, there might be a solution.

"Father, Shen Shuai, have outsiders come to the camp these days, or have they received letters from some families in the city?" Gu Qingcheng did not answer Gu Huairen's question, but asked, she must first determine some things, in order to make the final judgment.

"Yes, there are, but they are all miscellaneous fish. There are no letters from Zhengqing and Qiu families. Mumble, it's all here. If you want to see it, have a look. " Shen Zhang pointed to a pile of things on Gu Huairen's desk, which were written with paper, silk and silk books. It was obvious that these were sent by the noble and powerful families in the city through various channels.

"It's a bit of a problem." Gu Qingcheng glanced at the pile of things, but she didn't mean to take it. She thought that only the national capital was left in Tianxing. When Daqian besieged the city, she should unite as one, but she didn't expect that so many "smart people" were already seeking a way out.

"Success or failure depends on heart, prosperity or decline depends on nature. Since ancient times, when the imperial dynasty was in decline, there were loyal people and loyal ministers, but there were also many people who jumped the beam and had a ghost heart. Ancient history can be used as a reference. The more noble the family was, the more likely it was to be servile at this time. I was surprised that there were no letters from the three families of Tianxing Shiqing and the two families of Qiu and Chen." Shen Zhang said with great disdain.

He was born in a poor family. He was originally from a big family and didn't like him, whether he was from Daqian or Tianxing. And what he said is right. There are tens of thousands of the sons of the big family. They have to consider their own inheritance. It's not uncommon for them to bend their knees to surrender.

Gu Qingcheng's face slightly changes when he hears Shen Zhang's words. You should know that they set up the country. Gu's family is one of the most noble families. Shen Zhang's words are suggestive. Only when he saw his father Gu Huairen waving his hand slightly, he thought of Shen Zhang's personality. Although he was not one of the three heroes of the poor family, he was also the backbone of the rise of the poor family in the early years of Hongxi. He had an opinion on xungui family, which was also a matter of course.

As soon as Shen Zhang's words were finished, he reflected that there was something wrong with what he said, but he didn't mean to explain it, because what he said was the fact. Since it was the fact, why should he explain it.

"Keke, what Shen Xiandi said is reasonable. The history of Qing Dynasty can be seen clearly. These letters also illustrate this point. But what we need to solve now is, once Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu go out of the city regardless of everything, how should we deal with it? Do you have any good ideas? " Gu Huairen see the atmosphere some embarrassment, light cough two said.

"Father, we can't let the initiative of the battlefield go out. Instead of waiting for Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu to make up their minds, we should attack the city directly." Gu Qingcheng said that when she came all the way, she was thinking about it all the time. She thought it was the best way now.

"Shall we lead the army to attack the city?" Gu Huairen and Shen Zhang exchanged a look, and then reacted. A glimmer of light flashed in their eyes. They looked at Gu Qingcheng and said, "do you mean feint?"

"It's a good plan. Instead of waiting for them to make up their mind, we'd better scare them when they can't make up their mind." Shen Zhang's eyes brightened and his palms hit each other.
