Kai Fu Han

Chapter 238
On October [-], Liu Xinqi convened a meeting of all ministers and directors.

First, Liu Xinbao informed Liu Xinqi of the military intelligence of various forces around him, and then Liu Xinqi began to make arrangements.

"This war with the Jin Kingdom and the Puppet Qi is inevitable. Don't take any chances, and don't have any thoughts of seeking peace. The brave will win when we meet on a narrow road. We can only truly defeat the Jin Kingdom and the Puppet Qi on the battlefield. Only with the Puppet-Qi Alliance can the Xinghan League officially stand in the troubled times and let all the forces take it seriously."

"The principle of this operation is the same as the previous operations. The battlefield must be set outside the jurisdiction of the Xinghan League. My preliminary plan is to set the battlefield to the west of Huangshui, near Huang County. The specific location will be subject to the results of the specific plan of the Chief of Staff. "

"Now arrange the specific division of labor." After Liu Xinqi said this, he began to arrange the person in charge of the division of labor item by item.

The Engineering Division will be responsible for fully equipping the five infantry divisions with flintlock muskets before October [-]th.

The Logistics Department is responsible for fully preparing the logistics supplies for the infantry, cavalry, and the second and third fleets participating in the battle before October [-], and prepares them according to two-month needs.And starting from today, the refugee settlement site on the east bank of the Yellow River will be expanded and part of the logistical supplies will be transported there first.It will be the frontline logistics supply base for the subsequent fight against the Jin-Qi coalition forces.
The Military Intelligence Department is in charge, requiring that as long as the Jin-Qi coalition forces enter Laizhou, their every move must be controlled. No matter how many places they are divided, they must all be controlled.

Di Ting is responsible for grasping the dynamics of Mouping, Wendeng and Huang counties in Dengzhou, so as not to be robbed by these three counties in the backyard of the Xinghan League.In addition to Dengzhou, intelligence personnel also need to be dispatched to Hebei East Road. Liu Xinqi planned to support the rebels there and let them contain part of the Jin army so that Wanyan Zongfu's Jin army could not attack Dengzhou with all its strength.

With the Army Department in charge, Liu Xinang rushed to train five battalions of infantry and two battalions of cavalry, so that when the war came, the new recruits would be able to cope with the cruelty and tragedy on the battlefield.

Other departments of the Ministry of Government and the Military Department must fully cooperate with the war against the Jin-Qi coalition forces and cannot hold back. The victory of the war must be the top priority. The Supervisory and Supervisory Department must ensure the stability of Penglai County. If there are gentry, The landlord forces want to show up and they need to be nipped in the bud.

After arranging everything on the [-]th, Liu Xinqi began to train the [-] soldiers he recruited from the infantry battalion for special operations. Based on some TV series, movies and posts he had seen later, combined with the strong physical fitness of the soldiers, Liu Xinqi initially A set of very powerful special operations methods has been set up.

Although I made a lot of excuses, I still couldn't convince myself to give up the "decapitation battle" completely. Judging from the current situation, the benefits of the decapitation battle were too great, and the huge benefits were irresistible.

Be prepared first so that when it is really needed, you can immediately pull out this special operations force to carry out a "decapitation battle" and make a comeback.

On October [-]th, Wu Xinggong, the chief of the Department of Civil Affairs, came to the barracks to find Liu Xinqi, saying that he had something to report separately.

"Leader, I really don't have any selfish motives for what I want to say this time, and I don't want to plead for him. I just think this is a very good opportunity, so..." Wu Xinggong spoke for a long time, but still did not enter. To the point.

"Just tell me directly. I believe in you and my own vision. No matter what you say, it will not affect your loyalty." Liu Xinqi interrupted Wu Xinggong's wordiness. He believed in the system and the ability of the general card. Wu Xinggong had no intention of harming him.

"You are really wise. I knew you would not blame me." Wu Xinggong flattered him again and concluded what he wanted to say.

"You still remember Guo Chengyan, right?"

"I remember, he was your old boss." Liu Xinqi replied.

Guo Chengyan was the former magistrate of Dengzhou, and Wu Xinggong was the magistrate of Penglai County. Guo Chengyan was indeed Wu Xinggong's old boss.

Previously, Liujiabao was about to face an attack by the Jin navy. Guo Chengyan organized officials and gentry in Dengzhou and Penglai, planning to wait for Liujiabao's fleet to go to sea to fight. Luo Gao, out of loyalty, informed Liu Xinqi of the plans of these officials. The plan led Liu Xinqi to start an uprising in advance, occupied Penglai County, and rounded up all the people who planned the plot.Wu Xinggong was aware of current affairs and surrendered directly when Liu Xinqi was short of men. Now he can be regarded as a high-ranking member of the Xinghan League, in charge of the key department of the official department.However, Guo Chengyan was very stubborn and did not surrender. He was imprisoned by Liu Xinqi and sent to Changdao.

Later, the Xinghan League Navy defeated the Jin Guo Navy, and the Army defeated the Allied Forces of the Five Counties. Guo Chengyan was transferred to Baishiwan to work, and because of his literacy and numeracy, he was a "talent" among laborers, so he was transferred to the Liujia Warehouse. Participated in various research and production projects of the engineering department.

"That's all in the past. Now I am devoted to the Han Dynasty." Wu Xinggong heard that Liu Xinqi was really teasing him, but he still made it clear, and then continued to talk about business.

"Guo Chengyan saw various new weapons and new machinery developed by the Xinghan League at the Liujia Warehouse, and his thinking was completely subverted. Yesterday, the Liujia Warehouse deployed manpower to increase the production of flintlock muskets in order to fight against the Jin-Qi coalition. Guo Chengyan was After learning about it, he asked someone to send me a message, saying that he had a contribution to make to the Xinghan League and asked me to introduce him to him."

"What credit?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"I don't know either. He said he would only tell you when he saw you." Wu Xinggong said.

"How could you not know, Wu Xinggong, who I know, can throw eagles without seeing rabbits?" Liu Xinqi joked again.

"The alliance leader still knows me. I do know a little bit. Guo Chengyan said that he and the magistrate of Huang County are close friends." Wu Xinggong replied.

"I understand, please ask someone to bring him over." Liu Xinqi said.

Half an hour later, Guo Chengyan was brought over by Wu Xinggong.

"I have met the leader of the alliance." Guo Chengyan saluted, which was the bowing ceremony of the Xinghan League.

"I already understand the whole story. Just tell me what you want to do?" Liu Xinqi said directly.

"Lord Leader, I am a good friend of Huang County Magistrate Gu Yi, and I am confident of persuading him to surrender before the battle." Guo Chengyan did not foreshadow the situation and directly stated the contribution he planned to give, which was similar to what Liu Xinqi had guessed before.

The location of Huang County is very important. It is near the battlefield set by Liu Xinqi. If he can surrender behind the Jin-Qi coalition, he can directly cut off the coalition's supply line and create a very big advantage.

"What do you want?" Liu Xinqi asked.

Guo Chengyan was not shy and replied directly: "I want to be free and live as an ordinary citizen on the land under the jurisdiction of the Xinghan League."

This request is not excessive. Guo Chengyan was just planning at the time and did not really succeed in "taking advantage of the fire".
