A knife in love

Chapter 2763
Qi Jiu shook his head after hearing what Yan Song had said, and said, "Master Yan, the Fusang army has come across the sea and sent no less than [-] troops. They didn't spend too much effort before, and they broke through Dongliao County and Wangjiazhuang. , It can be said that it was a complete victory. Therefore, the general of the Fusang army thought that Dongliao County was not heavily guarded, so he was too arrogant, so he underestimated the enemy and rushed forward. In addition, the master of Jinzhai and Mr. Zhang each planned a clever plan. However, once the general of the Fusang army no longer underestimates the enemy, reorganizes his army and horses, fights steadily, and fights at every step, even if the barbarians brought by Master Zhang are brave and good at fighting, they will be invincible after all. If you are few, you will inevitably be defeated by the Fusang army in the end."

When Qi Jiu said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "After the Jinyiwei sent to the capital to report the emergency military situation to the cabinet by Master Xu, the imperial court will definitely mobilize troops to deal with the Fusang army. In my heart, the most dangerous place right now is not Dongliao County, but Tianjin Wei. Therefore, if the imperial court mobilizes troops from Shanxi, Hebei, Henan, and Shandong near the capital to deal with the Fusang army, it will never send the army to Dongliao County Come to rescue us, but to gather reinforcements around Tianjin Wei and the capital to block the Fusang army's surprise attack. The only ones who can rush to Dongliao County to rescue us are the soldiers under the command of the General Soldier of Shanhaiguan, but it is not far from Shanhaiguan to Dongliao County. , Even if the general army from Shanhaiguan sent troops to help in the starry night, it would take more than [-] days to reach Dongliao County. If you want to rely on imperial reinforcements to deal with Japanese pirates, it will be more difficult than going to heaven."

As soon as Qi Jiu's words fell, Yan Song sneered, and said in his mouth: "In this way, we can either wait to die and become the ghosts under the knife of the Japanese pirates, or slip away and let the Japanese pirates do their best here?"

Seeing Yan Song's contemptuous expression, Qi Jiu was not angry, and said in a deep voice, "Although the Fusang army who attacked across the sea and the Japanese pirates who harassed Ming Dynasty on the southeast coast are both from Fusang, there is still a lot of tension between them. There is a difference. The Fusang Army is under the jurisdiction of the Fusang Kingdom’s court, while the Japanese pirates are pirates. Although these two groups of barbarians have no good intentions towards Daming, from my point of view, the Fusang Kingdom does not dare to openly turn against Daming. They will not send troops to attack Daming. It’s just that Fusang Kingdom is far away in the sea, and the king, ministers, and generals are all shallow people. It’s just that some greedy people are deceived by the Liusheng family, thinking that there are Liusheng family as internal support, and taking advantage of the Ming Dynasty Unprepared attack on the capital can overthrow the Daming country. Being able to do such inexplicable and ignorant things is enough to show that there are some idiots in Fusang country. After the Fusang army arrived in Dongliao County, although it didn't take much With great strength, we broke through Dongliao County and Wangjiazhuang, but suffered a big loss at the foot of Old Man Mountain. We lost troops and retreated in embarrassment. Although the Fusang army still had the strength to fight again, and if we counterattacked with all our strength, we would undoubtedly be defeated, but they crossed the sea to attack , not to capture the small Dongliao County. Right now they can't even wipe out thousands of us in one fell swoop. Wouldn't it be a dream to defeat the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and seize the capital of the Ming Dynasty? As long as the general of the Fusang Army is not a fool, he must have understood This trip can only be in vain, if you can lead your soldiers back to Fusang country safely, it will be a high incense."

When Qi Jiu said this, he turned his head and looked down the mountain, and saw that all the barbarian horse troops had retreated to the open space under the old man's mountain, and were reorganizing the army formation under Zhang Gui's dispatch.He pondered for a moment, and then continued: "If my guess is correct, after two fierce battles at the foot of Old Man Mountain, the general of the Fusang Army has the intention to retreat. As long as we can maintain an invincible situation, the enemy will not let us go. It will only leave Dongliao County in despair. Although we have not been able to wipe out all the Fusang soldiers and horses who attacked across the sea, we have taken great advantage in forcing them to retreat. Lord Yan, Lord Xu, the two Don't you expect us to wipe out the entire Fusang army?"

Yan Song heard Qi Jiu speak clearly and logically, and thought to himself, this kid speaks well.Although Fusang Kingdom is not a vassal state of Daming, it has always been quite respectful to Daming and dare not provoke him easily.Although the Japanese pirates have been harassing all over the southeast coast over the years, they are arrogant and domineering, but they are not soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of the Fusang country, but warriors who were defeated and fled in the Fusang country.Daming wrote several times to the king of Fusang, asking him to restrain the people of Fusang and not to join Japanese pirates to harass Daming.The king of Fusang Kingdom was also quite careful, every time he sent envoys to visit Daming, his words were very humble, not to mention apologizing to Daming, he even sent troops to kill the pirates.I heard from Xu Yingyang that although the enemy troops who attacked across the sea were officers and soldiers of the Fusang Kingdom, they were not the envoys of the King of the Fusang Kingdom, but soldiers and horses jointly sent by several famous names in the Fusang Kingdom.Over the years, the Tartars kept going south, harassing the Nine Frontiers, posing a great threat to Ming Dynasty.Although the Japanese pirates are arrogant, compared with the Tartars, they are just scabies, and the imperial court does not intend to go to war in the southeast.If you want to turn against the Fusang Kingdom and go to war, you can only benefit the Japanese pirates and Tartars, which is not good for the overall plan.Listening to Xu Yingyang's conversation with this kid, even though there are barbarians helping him now, it is tantamount to dreaming to wipe out the Fusang army that is attacking across the sea.Even if we can kill all these Fusang soldiers, Fusang country has suffered such a big loss, and it is bound to send soldiers from all over the country to retaliate.In this way, not only will I be useless, but I may also be charged with the crime of "lightly starting a war and provoking for no reason", which will end up in the end of ransacking my family and exterminating my family.

Thinking of this, Yan Song was quite terrified, but he still had a solemn expression on his face. After pondering for a moment, he said to Qi Jiu: "There is some truth in what you said. But the person who is in charge of the big plan right now It's Mr. Zhang Guizhang, let's discuss it after he comes back."

Hearing Yan Song's words, Li Qiufeng's heart was clear, knowing that after hearing Qi Jiu's words, he already knew that it was absolutely impossible to defeat the Fusang army that was attacking across the sea with a few thousand barbarian horse troops.It's just that he is the biggest official in Dongliao County at the moment. If he insists on making peace and refuses to fight with the Fusang army, he will be accused by the censor of "fearing the enemy like a tiger and missing a good opportunity" in the future. Participating in his book is extremely detrimental to his official career.So this old slippery man spoke ambiguously, refused to lightly say whether it was war or peace, and pushed all the war and major events onto Zhang Gui.This person's skills in being an official have reached the point of proficiency. If he is in power in the future, I am afraid that no one in the officialdom of Ming Dynasty will be his opponent.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes. He turned his head and saw Zhang Gui leading Li Chengliang and others on horseback, charging up to the top of Old Man Mountain, only seven or eight zhang away from the crowd.Yan Song and Xu Yingyang saw Zhang Gui leading the people back, looked at each other, and nodded quietly.
