Joy of Life: I'm really not a saint

Shangshan Hu cupped his hands and said, "If the national teacher had not consumed the national strength of Qing, it would not have been so easy to win this battle!"

"Master Imperial Master, how do we deploy this from now on? To what extent do we need to accomplish this?"

Chapter 376 Things are a mess.

"Keep chasing!"

Li An released the snow sculpture, but it did not fly in the direction in front of him, but instead flew away in the direction of Dongyi City. With the flying speed of the snow sculpture, it would take more than an hour to complete the military intelligence of the soldiers' marching speed within two days and return. "Charge forward, don't worry about whether there is a trick, but you can only attack for one day. When the time limit is reached, you must return regardless of the results of the battle."

This time, it is impossible to achieve full success.

Anyone who understands knows that this time Northern Qi is the defending party.

Attacking first a few days in advance is just attacking instead of defending, just to create a time difference.

"I will finally understand!"

The weather is clear and cool in autumn, and now is the time when autumn is in full swing. Li An knows that starting from this winter, the pace of life between countries may enter a fast pace.

He Daoren did not fight on the battlefield because he was not good at it.

His mission was ostensibly to protect the safety of the national teacher, but in reality it was to monitor the deployment of the prince. To put it nicely, it was to prevent the war from affecting them. These two thousand soldiers still needed to rest.

"I have read many classics, but if you ask me to speak out some profound truth, I cannot do it. Where is the such thing as a righteous war in this world? They are nothing but excuses."

He Daoren's words at this time seemed a little disrespectful, but these were his true thoughts.

Ang Lee doesn't care about what his subordinates think. Sometimes, people actually know what they are doing in their hearts, and what they need more is a word of affirmation from the outside world.

What’s funny is that many people don’t even give a little affirmation, but still demand that the other party understand them.

Now we have to wait for the news to come back. Since we have nothing else to do, Li An started talking: "It seems that your trip to Qing Kingdom when you were young had a great influence on you. Deep down in your heart, you actually agree with Fan Xian, right?"

"Fan Xian is from Nanqing." Taoist He shook his head.

"Sir, do you know how the people of Qing think?"

"Appreciate further details."

Ang Lee raised his hand, indicating that you were welcome to start your performance.

"Many people in Qing believe that their country is pointing its sword at the whole world in order to save the people from distress..." Taoist He's voice sounded very low.

"This is not contradictory," Li An said, "Hasn't Qing been invading other countries for so many years? Why can't I do the opposite now?"

This reminded Li Ang of a joke:

Someone complained to another person in a disgruntled tone: 'I beat up my neighbor.'

The other person was curious and asked, 'Why do you do this? '

'He scolded me!'

"Let me hear what he said to you."

'He told me exactly what I had done!'

Yes, the biggest rival of Qing State and also its neighbor is Northern Qi. To put it more plainly, it is the wise men on both sides or some conservative people who are analyzing the justice of the war.

But Ang Lee couldn't explain this question clearly, and he knew that few people in the world could explain it clearly.

He felt that there was something wrong with the logic of the people in this world, and perhaps this was also caused by the long-term invisible influence of the temple.

"Don't think too much, I'll give you a task!"

Li An pointed in the direction where Shang Shanhu left and said, "You can come back only after you kill a hundred people today."

He Daoren left in silence.

The Black Cavalry, Red-Armored Knights, Yanjing Battalion and Border Troops of Qing State are considered to be the strongest troops.

Now that the border troops have been defeated, the Black Cavalry may arrive tomorrow with the troops from Dongyi City. The current situation still does not allow him to see any opportunity for Qing Kingdom to take advantage of.

But the hope of Qing Kingdom has never been in itself, but in Dongyi City!

Li An frowned deeply.

He kept calculating with his fingers, combining the information he learned from the original book with his calculations about Gong Dian, and muttered, "Has Gong Dian arrived in Dingzhou?"

Li An remained silent, but he underestimated Li Chengze's reaction speed and skills.

Perhaps he knew from the beginning what he would do first after returning to the Northern Qi border, and he also knew that the Qing border troops, lacking logistical support, could not withstand the attack. Now Gong Dian has resumed his original post and taken over the duties of Prince He after his departure. He has become the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards. Li Chengze directly transferred Gong Dian to Dingzhou to hold the fort.

Although Li Hongcheng had trained in Dingzhou for a period of time before, he was not from a military background and his foundation was still shallow. But if he had the cooperation of Gong Dian, considering Gong Dian's qualifications and prestige, this would be a great force.

You know, Gong Dian is an old man from the Dingzhou Army.

With such a force to guard against the Western Hu, if the Western Hu sent troops to Northern Qi, they would have no opponent. Perhaps they would even cooperate with the Western Hu to take down Northern Qi first and then talk about other things!

This is all the opponent's power that Li An knows.

"Tuoba Xiong, please don't let me down!"

When the Snow Eagle returned, it landed in front of him, causing the horse under him to fear. It raised its front hooves for a long time before dropping them to the ground and pacing.

The Snow Eagle is a product of the system, and can be said to be in tune with one's own thoughts.

I saw him randomly placing stones and branches on the ground, and he showed a rough picture of the situation in the direction of Dongyi City.

wrong!

This formation is actually composed entirely of cavalry?

These cavalrymen are all black cavalry!

Yes, Fan Xian, like himself, is a visitor from another era. How could he not know the story of Besieging Wei to Save Zhao?

With an arm broken and his physical strength nearly destroyed, is Fan Xian still fulfilling his role?

"Somebody come!"

With a loud shout, the messenger came running over and saluted, saying, "Grandmaster!"

"Quickly release the carrier pigeons and have the coastal areas be prepared to prevent the people from Dongyi City from coming by boat to launch a surprise attack! At the same time, order the troops from each state to be mobilized and advance towards Dongyi City!"

"Yes!"

It seems that if you want to take Nanqing, you must first destroy Dongyi City!

After making up his mind, he took out the meat from the system space, fed the Snow Eagle, and then released it again, heading towards Xihu.

Can those Hu people on the grassland go against the weather and launch this wave of offensive in this early winter season?

Perhaps, Master Ku He could bring me a surprise.

The hexagram shows that there is only death but no life, and I cannot see you off in person!

Li An returned to the camp and came to the tent where Li Chengzong's troops were stationed. Things were too complicated and Li An had no time to rest. He looked at Li Chengzong who was accompanied by the princess with some helplessness and asked, "Since you have just arrived in Daqi, would you like to take part in the war first?"

Li Chengzong was still a little hesitant and looked at him worriedly, thinking that Li An wanted him to deal with the people of Qing Kingdom.

The eldest princess smiled slightly, pulled Li Chengzong's sleeve, and said softly: "Of course I am willing. I guess the Imperial Master has made proper arrangements?"

Nodding, Li An did not deny it, but he would not be so ruthless as to let the remnants of the former imperial army, which had suffered heavy losses, set out on another expedition.

"Bring your guards with you. They are all good candidates for grassroots officers. Follow me to stop the people from Dongyi City. Perhaps, you can meet Fan Xian on this trip."

Li Chengzong nodded. The power struggle in Qing State had now been settled, but he had no grudges.

As for Fan Xian, he wanted to see him again!

Chapter 377 Who is the one who is sorry to Qing Kingdom?

Fan Xian led the black cavalry and galloped all the way.

While thinking and complaining about the difficult roads, Qing State, which had the help of the inner treasury, did not understand that if a country wants to become rich, it must first build roads. Although Qing State was indeed the richest country in the world before, otherwise it would not have been able to support the most powerful army in the world.

He was thinking back on every detail of his journey, and the more he thought about it, the more silent he became.

What went wrong?

He also wanted to change the world and make his mother Ye Qingmei's ideas come true further. However, the final result was even worse!

Although the inner treasury has been cleansed, it has become even more chaotic. Now even the most basic part of wealth cannot be provided. This is not only because various countries have cut off the smuggling routes.

The Qing Kingdom's army, which was once the strongest in the world, is now in a very weak position.

Perhaps the overall personal qualities of the lower-level soldiers are good, but there is a lack of people who can lead the troops. This is certainly the fault of the late emperor, but the final result was caused by the infighting among these princes.

For the first time, Fan Xian began to wonder whether it was right to seek revenge against Emperor Qing.

Li Hongcheng had a good personal relationship with him. According to the original plan, Si Gu Jian would be stationed in Dongyi City to welcome the national attack from Northern Qi after the change of situation.

He sent a navy led by his disciples to advance from Donghai County of Northern Qi to the north, attack Northern Qi and save Zhao!

However, the navy's marching speed is too slow, especially when there are too many people. It is unknown how much time it will take to advance further north into Donghai County. And if they attack nearby, what is the difference between that and a collision with the enemy's border troops?

This is a flawed difficulty!

Now we are just betting that Li An can figure this out and then allocate troops to mobilize the border troops to block it. As long as he doesn't want the people of Northern Qi to suffer and expand the losses,

It was also the first time that a country's strategic deployment was based on the premise that the wise men of the enemy country could see through it.

He led the Black Cavalry and the few cavalrymen from Dongyi City to attack the border troops of Nanling County of Northern Qi from another direction, directly resolving the crisis of Qing Kingdom and allowing it to catch its breath.

Undoubtedly, Fan Xian's mission was dangerous.

Dongyi City is near the sea and has few horses, so not many cavalry can be mustered. Most of the time, they are used to defend the city and deliver messages.

Now that the navy is unable to quench the nearby fire with distant water, he has no choice but to act this way.

At the moment, he only hoped that Hongcheng could have some tacit understanding with him and completely grasp the part of Dingzhou military strength that belonged to him. He must first reach an agreement with the people on the border of Xihu and Xiliang, turn his guns around, and give Li An a hard blow!

Fan Xian frowned tightly. He found that everything was out of his control and his preparations were not sufficient!

"Sir." Shi Qing'er was riding on a fast horse, and it was obvious that she was a little exhausted. She glanced at Fan Xian and said, "In two hours, we will run into the Northern Qi army."

Shi Qing'er was the second prince's person back then, but she was forced into the Supervisory Council by Fan Xian a long time ago. The methods used by the Supervisory Council have made her unable to have any second thoughts now. Never mind the embarrassing situation of the Supervisory Council in Qing Kingdom, as long as one of them is still alive, she dare not rebel.

What's more, she was just a brothel girl who was sent to the Baoyue Tower branch in Dongyi City. She understood that the young man in front of her was actually a slightly different person from all the powerful people in Kyoto.

She wanted to be the second Sang Wen played by Chen Yuan, but she didn't want to be the second Yuan Meng who died young.

But when she looked at Fan Xian who was missing an arm, she couldn't help feeling a little frightened, panicked and scared.

Fan Xian raised his hand, signaling the entire army to slow down. Listening to the sound of soldiers in the rear drawing their weapons, Fan Xian glanced at Shi Qing'er, and after a moment of silence, he said, "You are responsible for intelligence collection and summary in the academy. Tell me about the situation of the Nanling County border troops."

"As for the interior of Dongyi City, we'll talk about it after we get back!"

"Can you still go back?"

As soon as these six words entered Fan Xian's ears, he shouted first: "Charge!"

The Black Cavalry and the Dongyi City Cavalry are clearly divided. Although they have the same goal, they are incompatible.

Two groups of cavalry, like two torrents, rushed out from both sides and rushed towards the enemy!

The terrain here is not open, and there are dense woods on both sides. Otherwise, Li Chengzong would not have been able to get so close.

It seems that the scouts who were sent out will never come back!

"Li Chengzong!"

Fan Xian drew out his spear and shouted, "Don't forget, you are also from Qing Kingdom, and even more so, the prince of Qing Kingdom!"

The soldiers of both sides had already been fighting each other.

The Northern Qi side, relying on the advantage of sneak attack and the cover of the woods, took the lead in launching a rain of arrows attack. With the help of large-scale military equipment, they could not easily let the cavalry get close to them.

There is no need to guess that there are a large number of traps waiting for them in front of the cavalry and around the Northern Qi army.

Even so, the Black Knights continued to advance with tacit cooperation and strong comprehensive strength, attacking the first obstacle blocking their progress - the sword and shield soldiers!

The Northern Qi Dynasty was extravagant and weak for many years.

The soldiers' fighting capacity was not satisfactory.

But the number of cavalry brought by Fan Xian was not large, and the number of black cavalry was less than three thousand. On the contrary, the Northern Qi army had thirty thousand soldiers!

"Of course I understand that I am from Qing. No one can deny that!"

Li Chengzong simply glanced coldly at the generals around Fan Xian, and said to Fan Xian earnestly: "But you also understand that I still have half of the bloodline of Dongyi City!"

He also pulled out a spear. The two men seemed to be unable to hear the fierce fighting around them and were still trying to persuade each other to change their minds.
