Kai Fu Han

Chapter 237
Liu Yu, a traitor, in order to please his master of the Jin Kingdom, carried out a very cruel rule over the people of the Central Plains. Not only did he impose heavy taxes and severe criminal laws, he also imposed military service to help the Jin Kingdom wipe out the anti-Jin rebels and attack the Zhao Kingdom.

Although the Kingdom of Jin handed over the four roads to the management of the Puppet Qi, it stationed a large number of troops in the territory of the Puppet Qi. They not only interfered in the politics of the Puppet Qi, but also demanded huge amounts of annual coins.The Puppet Qi not only had to pay annual coins to the Kingdom of Jin, but also collected taxes to maintain their own political power and army. They levied excessive taxes on the people within the territory, causing the people within the territory to live in dire straits.

Liu Xinqi listened quietly to Zhao Liang's account of what he had experienced along the way, occasionally interjecting a few words, and saw Zhao Liang's mood change from calm to excited, and then to calm.

"Hey, it's just a disaster for the people of Hebei. There are tragedies of wives and children separated everywhere along the way."

When Zhao Liang finally finished speaking, Liu Xinqi began to ask:
"Have you paid attention to the eastward direction of the Jin Army? Will it come eastward to attack us?"

"Yes, Wanyan Zongfu, the fourth son of Wanyan Aguda, was in charge of mopping up the anti-golden rebels on Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road. Weizhou and Laizhou, but found that the local troops did not mobilize to Jinan Prefecture." Zhao Liang replied.

"Does this mean that Wanyan Zongfu and Liu Yu's goal was Dengzhou, which is located to the east of Laizhou, so they did not send the soldiers and horses from Weizhou and Laizhou to Jinan Prefecture, but waited for the arrival of the army to join together and head east .”

"Yes, I think so too." Zhao Liang agreed with Liu Xinqi's prediction.

"It seems that within a month at the earliest, war will begin again in Dengzhou." Liu Xinqi murmured, and then arranged for Zhao Liang: "You should go home and rest early. If there is anything else, we will discuss it in detail tomorrow. I will see you when I get back. When I see my family, it is estimated that war will start again soon, and then I will be away from home for a long time without being able to return."

"Thank you, leader." Zhao Liang thanked him and stepped away, leaving Liu Xinqi alone in the office room. The lights in the room were left on all night.

On October [-]th, the defeated rebel army from Binzhou on the East Road of Hebei took a boat across the sea to Dengzhou, and was received by the navy left behind in Penglai Port. They brought "good news" to the Xinghan League. Jin, Yang Jin and other troops wandered to Meizhou and Binzhou. The local Jin defenders were defeated, so Wanyan Zongfu had to lead his troops north to Meizhou to wipe out these rebels.

This means that Wanyan Zongfu will not be able to attack Dengzhou for the time being, or he will send a partial force. In any case, the pressure that the Xinghan Alliance will face will be greatly reduced. The Jin army has destroyed Liao and defeated Zhao in recent years, and its combat effectiveness is still very strong.

On October [-], Liu Xinqi summoned Xu Zhong and Liu Xinbao.

"Do you listen and the Military Intelligence Department have any latest information on the mobilization of the Jin Army and the Puppet Qi in the Jingdong area?"

"Yes, the news just came back from the 'Golden Flower' today." Liu Xinbao said.

Jinhua was the adult female eagle that Liu Xinqi had attached to before. After being tamed on September 23, and after three days of basic training, Jinhua was rushed to Liujiabao in Qizhou.

When Diting established an intelligence point west of Dengzhou, he sent people to Liujiabao in Qizhou to check. After the Liujiabao people migrated away, it was occupied by a wave of refugees. After Diting's men subdued this wave of refugees, they took advantage of the situation. The Titing branch on Jingxi East Road is located here. It is not far from Jinan Prefecture and very close to Mount Tai. The location is very convenient.

Later, with the help of Diting, the Military Intelligence Department also set up a point in Liujiabao, Qizhou.

In late September, Liu Xinqi arranged for the Military Intelligence Department to investigate the movements of the puppet Qi and Jin armies. Liu Xinbao set up the intelligence center for this mission in Liujiabao, Qizhou. Jinhua was rushed from Dengzhou to Qizhou by soldiers, nearly a thousand miles away. , ran in five days.After the order to detect the enemy's movements was conveyed to Qizhou, the Qizhou branch's Diting and Military Intelligence Department personnel began to go out to investigate, and infiltrated into Licheng, the capital of Jinan Prefecture. It was not until yesterday that Jinhua was released and brought back the information from the investigation. latest news.

"This fairy bird is amazing. It can fly a thousand miles in just half a day. It took us a month to migrate." Liu Xinbao sighed.

"Tell me the important point." Liu Xinqi interrupted his emotion.

"Liu Yu is indeed calling for troops. All the state capitals on Jingdong East Road and the three prefectures west of Jingdong East Road have all gathered in Jinan on October 3. It is estimated that there are more than [-] troops. Their specific departure The time has not yet been determined. However, the Jin army led by Wanyan Zongfu went northward, leaving behind [-] Jin troops, led by Mohe Hanhai, I guess this part of the Jin army will come to Dengzhou together with Liu Yu's puppet Qi soldiers." Liu Xin Qibao replied.

"Have the golden flowers been put back?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"Not yet, I want to let it rest, and then I plan to let it go to Qizhou tomorrow with the gold coins, so that it can know the way, so that there is no need for people to travel overland with gold coins again." Liu Xinbao replied.

With Raptor Communication, you can let it fly where you have been, but where you haven’t been, you still need someone to take it with you.

"Am I too pedantic?" Liu Xinqi said to himself.

"What do you mean by this?" Xu Zhong was confused after hearing this.

"We are fully capable of carrying out beheading battles and sending soldiers to assassinate the enemy's command system. This will demoralize the enemy's troops, and then we can easily win and avoid the huge casualties caused by frontal combat. But I don't do that..." Liu Xinqi Said.

"Didn't you explain it before? Our enemy is an entire class. Killing one or two enemy leaders is of no use. We still need an upright victory." Xu Zhong replied.

The beheading war has many advantages, but also disadvantages. It will cause chaos in the Puppet Qi territory, which will make the people's lives more miserable. It will also make the Xinghan League's army unable to be tempered. Liu Xinqi himself does not know where his abilities come from. How long can it be maintained? If the beheading war is carried out blindly, the Xinghan Alliance army has not been tempered. If one day their abilities are gone, and all the soldiers have returned to the physical fitness of ordinary people, then the Xinghan Alliance will It will be like a castle built with sand on the beach, which will collapse at the first touch.

"But killing these leaders can indeed greatly reduce the casualties of our Xinghan Alliance soldiers." Liu Xinqi came in and was a little undecided.

Xu Zhong didn't know how to reply.

"That's right, I have been thinking about whether we can send soldiers to directly assassinate the puppet Qi Liu Yu, so that he will not be able to organize troops to attack us." Liu Xinbao said.

"Without Liu Yu, the Jin Kingdom can establish another puppet emperor. At most, it will delay the attack of our Xinghan Alliance." Xu Zhong interjected: "And if Liu Yu is killed, the land of Hebei will be completely destroyed." If they are disrupted, our Xinghan League cannot estimate these places, and then it will truly be hell on earth."
