Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

Lu Qing was indeed an extremely smart person, at least much smarter than other counselors the King of Han had ever seen.

Although the King of Han did not know his specific origin, he could not turn a deaf ear to such a counselor and treat him as before.

In the past few days, they first captured the arsenal of Suizhou, and then half of them used force, and the other half promised to give the Suizhou defenders greater rights and wealth. Coupled with the original royal bloodline of the Han King, this made them the most successful to win over. He defeated more than [-] defenders in Suizhou City.

Although these people cannot be fully used by him at the moment, the situation is already much better than what King Han originally expected.

After gathering the defenders, Lu Qing's proposal was to completely occupy Suizhou, then gradually gather forces and slowly advance.

He plans to move forward steadily step by step. Naturally, there are many concerns about this, but more importantly, as long as they work harder now, they can take all the power of Suizhou into their hands, including the government offices and officials from all parties.

But this suggestion was ignored by the King of Han.

The King of Han led a team of 2000 guards and hurried to Jingzhou without notifying Lu Qing.

Of course Lu Qing knew what the King of Han was going to do in Jingzhou.

After all, the injuries on his body have not healed completely, and there are still bruises and marks. As long as he lifts the hem of his clothes, you can see the horrific wounds.

When Lu Qing woke up, what he saw was the thousand remnant soldiers in his hands who had no fighting spirit.

He hurried to the study, only to find that the king of Han had left him and ran away.

Not only did they run away, they also took away two thousand heavily armed soldiers.

……

For a moment, Lu Qing didn't know what to say.

He even had no interest in scolding anymore...

"You still have to choose a good cemetery for yourself..."

Lu Qing walked out of the empty study room unsteadily like a ghost, muttering full of disappointment.

The guard at the door was a young man who had just joined the army. Seeing Mr. Lu's appearance and the words in his mouth, he frowned unconsciously.

Mr. Lu is... crazy?Or are you determined to die?

Whatever it was, it left him a little confused.

'It's really difficult for scholars to understand...'

……

Chengzhou City Gate
midnight
Groups of men and horses opened the city gate quietly in the night.

Under the light of the faint moonlight, everything was going on in an orderly manner.

The horse neighed softly and its hooves slid on the sand.

One team...two teams...

Li Yancheng guarded the gate and released all the other troops out of the city gate. Next was the main force of the battle, the troops commanded by Li Yancheng.

This time Li Yancheng only brought five thousand soldiers and horses, each with one horse, and only three days' rations.

In this surprise attack, Li Yancheng's policy was to do it as quickly as possible. The faster he got, the closer he would be to success.

And this is on the grassland, which is the home ground of the cavalry.

If we cannot seize this timing advantage, we will not be able to strategically achieve Li Yancheng's goals.Li Yancheng is very ambitious.

Since he wanted to launch a surprise attack, he planned to play a big one so that most of Qingyi's army would lose the ability to take the initiative to attack.

Only in this way can peace in Daxia be guaranteed in the next two to three years.

Although the number of troops under Li Yancheng's command was not large this time, the surprise attacks in batches and at different locations did use a total of 7 people.

After these soldiers were formed into groups, Li Yancheng handed them over to the generals or generals to lead them.

In order to ensure that the Qingyi people would not know about it in advance this time, and to ensure the smooth progress of this plan, Li Yancheng never put all military arrangements and plans on paper, and rarely even talked about it.

All plans are communicated individually between him and the leaders of each detachment, and goals and routes are arranged individually. Moreover, this detachment also fights alone on the battlefield. Once they complete their goals, they will immediately withdraw.

This is to preserve strength.

Li Yancheng watched with compassion as the groups of people walked out of the city. His goal was never to kill more people, but to gain greater benefits with minimal loss of personnel.

To some extent, this makes him more ruthless and cruel than others, but also more rational.

When the sun emerged slightly, Li Yancheng put on his armor, mounted his horse, and led his men out of Suizhou City.

Normally at this time, even the most diligent farmers have just gotten up, and the sun's dazzling brilliance is still there.After being covered by clouds for a while, the sky turned gray again.

Everyone moved forward in silence, the only sound in their ears was the sound of Dada's horse hooves.

Gong Ming, who had been following Li Yancheng, also mounted a tall horse and followed Li Yancheng closely.

"General...where are we going?"

Li Yancheng felt a little uneasy listening to Gong Ming's voice. He knew that it was Gong Ming's first time on the battlefield, so it was normal to panic, but now he had no intention of comforting a lieutenant. All he could think about was this time. the course of the battle.

"Shut up and just follow me."

Li Yancheng said very coldly.

He coughed, but his body on the horse did not move at all.

From last night to now, Li Yancheng stayed up all night arranging plans for various places. When he walked out today, he only had two bites of pancakes and a bowl of brown rice porridge that made his throat irritate.

The situation of the others was much better than that of Li Yancheng. Although he kept silent on horseback, he was very energetic and quite eager to try.

Their mission goal this time was to make a surprise attack on a Qingyi stronghold near Wolf Throat.

The reason why this place is so important and Li Yancheng personally led the attack is because, first, this place is very special.

According to the investigation of the scouts sent out by Li Yancheng in recent days, a large amount of grain, grass and baggage of the Qingyi people are being stored in that place.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the most important of all target locations.

They were fully armed along the way and rested in the sand at noon. If they heard the sound of horse hooves, they would immediately avoid it. It can be said that they were very embarrassed and completely different from the surprise attack that many people imagined.

"General...how long do we have to march?" Gong Ming asked the question in many people's minds.

But Li Yancheng, who is in the military, is not so easy to talk to.

He straightened the corners of his mouth, and his face was as cold as a frozen lake. His whole person exuded a mysterious but majestic charm. His tall body and broad shoulders made him stand out from thousands of miles away. (End of chapter)
