My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 100 98. It can be said that soldiers are valuable and quick, and the best way to defeat the enemy is now

Beimang then withdrew its troops, and the entire capital was in a joyful environment. Everyone cheered and celebrated this joy.

But this joy did not last long, because another bigger crisis has not yet been resolved.

Rebellion of the Eight Kings!

Eight princes and kings, headed by the King of Huainan, started a rebellion in the south. The princes from all over the country gathered to follow them, and officials from all over the country joined their ranks. The territories previously captured by the Wandering Army were also occupied by them one by one. They claimed to have 50 armored soldiers and [-] private soldiers. !

The King of Huainan, with the name of "treacherous ministers causing chaos and siding with the Qing Dynasty", carries supreme power, is unstoppable and invincible!
If the Beimang barbarians could only plunder around Chang'an City and were unable to truly overthrow the imperial dynasty, then these eight princes and kings came just to seize the world. Their blatant rebellion was vigorous!

After Zhao Xuanqi solved the Beimang incident, he immediately came outside the city to find Zhao Wuwei.

Zhao Wuwei was dressed in black armor, and his tall body exuded a fierce aura. He had been waiting for a long time with [-] elite soldiers.

The supplies, baggage and other items have been prepared, and orders must be issued at this moment to be ready to go at any time!
When Zhao Wuwei saw Zhao Xuanqi's arrival, he immediately lowered his head and saluted respectfully: "Generalissimo, Beimang has withdrawn its troops. There is no longer any threat to Chang'an City. We can now deal with the rebellion of the Eight Kings!"

"Should I leave now?"

Zhao Xuanqi replied: "This is natural, you lead [-] elite soldiers and set off immediately!"

Zhao Wuwei swallowed his saliva, looked over with timid eyes, and couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "May I ask the generalissimo, what should I do? Is there any clever way to make an exception?"

Zhao Wuwei felt uneasy in his heart.

Although he has been familiar with the art of war and is proficient in warfare over the years, with [-] troops to fight against the rebellion of the eight princes and princes, and with so many princes in various places also causing rebellion, he has no confidence in winning.

The momentum of the eight princes and kings was even more ferocious than the uprising of the Wandering Army. Officials and princes from all over the world joined King Huainan one after another, and even the territory of the Wandering Army was occupied by them. They claimed to be armed with hundreds of thousands of armor and command hundreds of armies in the world. Ten thousand, very scary.

The difficulty of quelling the rebellion this time is very high, even higher than suppressing the uprising of the Rogue Army. At least the battle with the Rogue Army is a defensive war. In Chang'an City, it is a defensive war. As long as you maintain the defense, you can rely on the tall city walls to resist the enemy. .

But if he goes out to suppress the rebellion, there is no such tall city wall as Chang'an City, nor is there such a majestic city. He went there with [-] elite troops, and there was no way he could find a big city like the Great Wall to defend. The low city wall was easy to defend. It was captured by the enemy, and since it was to suppress the rebellion, it must not be able to defend the city all the time, but had to take the initiative to attack the enemy. This was too difficult!
Zhao Wuwei saw no hope of victory at all.

He looked at Zhao Xuanqi eagerly, his tall body stretched out, looking like a defeated rooster, with an innocent expression.

Zhao Xuanqi was amused by this tall man's behavior. He asked, "Do you think I'm that stupid? Will I send you to die in vain? Since I asked you to lead the army, I have already made arrangements to defeat the enemy. Good strategy!”

Zhao Wuwei's gloom was swept away, he patted the armor on his chest and said with joy, "Please teach me, Generalissimo!"

Zhao Xuanqi's eyes flashed brightly, and his tone was passionate. He slowly analyzed: "Beimang's millions of cavalry are coming. There must be King Huainan behind this, and there must be factors of their instigation. They regard Beimang as a A sharp knife, trying to borrow a knife to kill someone.”

"When the King of Huainan wanted us to fight with Beimang, they took advantage of it and seized the opportunity to seize the world. When our vitality was severely weakened, they came to inflict heavy damage on us and send us back to the west..."

"At this point in time, the King of Huainan definitely thinks that we have already fought a bloody battle with Beimang and cannot spare any time to deal with them."

"However, they probably didn't expect Beimang to have withdrawn its troops. We have not fought against Beimang at all. We are still in peak condition."

Zhao Xuanqi ordered: "It is said that soldiers are valuable and quick. At this time, if you lead the troops as quickly as possible, you can definitely catch them off guard. You can catch the Huainan King and others by surprise, take the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on them, and make them suffer a lot!"

Zhao Wuwei's eyes lit up: "My subordinates know."

Zhao Xuanqi continued to order: "During this period, you must remember one thing. You and I are holding back. You must not use artillery or bombs, and you must not be the first to expose these two decisive weapons!"

In the past few months, the masters of the craftsman shop have finally produced a few cannons, but only a few.

At the same time, some bombs were also made, but the number of bombs was not large, just more than 100 explosive packets, and there were no explosive bombs or white phosphorus bombs at all.

Zhao Wuwei was very puzzled by this. He touched his head and said doubtfully: "But if I don't use these two weapons, I won't be able to defeat so many rebels. What should I do?"

Zhao Xuanqi replied: "After you surprise the enemy once, succeed with one blow, and immediately escape, you immediately find a strong city wall to defend it, and be a coward, trying your best to stall for time. Just keep stalling for as long as you can." !”

The tall Zhao Wuwei was confused for a moment. His face was full of suspicion and he asked doubtfully: "Generalissimo, didn't I go over to suppress the rebellion? Why did I find a place to hide and delay time? What are you doing to delay time? And what? When is the best time to use gunpowder?”

Zhao Xuanqi paced in place a few times, then with a deep look in his eyes, he said his plan decisively: "Wait until I arrive!"

"When you lead the army to counter the rebellion head-on, I will lead a part of the soldiers from the prairie to cross the snowy mountains, rush thousands of miles, go around to the enemy's rear, and attack you from the front and back!"

"When I go around the enemy's rear, we agree on a signal. If you see the signal from a distance, you will know that I am coming."

"You stick to the city, and you can take the initiative to attack when you see the signal. This time is the best time to use artillery and explosives, which can help you hit more with less, catch the enemy by surprise, and cause chaos to the enemy! "

"When I saw the enemy troops in chaos in the rear, I took the opportunity to attack with you from the front and back, defeat the enemy troops together, and completely suppress this rebellion!"

Zhao Wuwei's expression changed drastically.

He never expected that Marshal Zhao would have such an idea!

Climb the snowy mountains, circle behind the enemy, and attack from both sides!
He immediately dissuaded him: "Generalissimo, I'm afraid this won't work. Even the herdsmen who herd sheep all year round don't dare to cross the Snowy Mountains. They are extinct all year round and are a complete no-man's land. All they have is endless emptiness. Anyone who tries to cross the Snowy Mountains will Everyone in the snowy mountains will die in it!

The Snow Mountain is not a real snow mountain, but a prairie in a snowy area. Because it is close to the north and the cold current is very heavy, it is covered with snow all year round and is very cold.

From the location of Chang'an City, it is indeed possible to take a detour through the Snowy Mountains and run to the back of the Huainan King's territory, but there is a distance of thousands of miles along the way!
The whole road is covered with grassland and heavy snow. Other than that, no other living things can be seen. The steep mountain road, the cold atmosphere, and the lack of water and food supplies...

The most terrible thing is that it is difficult to identify the direction and the road. If a person accidentally gets lost in it, he will be completely trapped in it, making the sky and the earth useless.

The Daxue Mountain is a terrifying forbidden area. Herders who believe in the Immortal Heaven have always had a title: the forbidden area of ​​death, the place where gods die.

This means that even gods may not be able to cross the Snowy Mountains, but will be buried and die in the Snowy Mountains.

You can imagine how terrifying the Snowy Mountains are!
Not to mention that Zhao Xuanqi is not simply crossing the snowy mountains, he is also marching!

You need to carry a lot of weapons and a lot of food along the way. In the past, it was just meat buns and dogs, and there was no return!
Zhao Wuwei had heard stories about the Snowy Mountains, so he didn't believe that Zhao Xuanqi could climb the Snowy Mountains at all. He shook his head like a rattle and kept telling Zhao Xuanqi to give up this terrible idea.

You may die in battle with the enemy, but if you enter the Snowy Mountains, you will die on your own initiative!

With a smile on his face, Zhao Xuanqi walked up to the man, looked at him seriously and said slowly: "Besides this plan, what other plan do you think can defeat the enemy?"

Zhao Wuwei opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

The imperial court can now be said to be the enemy of the whole world. The princes and kings rebelled because of the reduction of vassalage. Even if the vassalage had not been reduced, King Huainan would have rebelled.

The princes and officials from all over the country recruited many troops and horses because of the previous order of King Qin. However, they retreated bravely in Chang'an and abandoned the emperor. This was a serious crime. They were afraid of being blamed by the court, so they could only join King Huainan one after another in an attempt to overthrow the emperor. The world is being reshuffled.

The imperial court had no way to recover the territories of the Rogue Army. As a result, these territories became the profits of the princes and princes from all over the country. The court suppressed the rebellion of the Rogue Army, but it did not gain much benefit!

Apart from Zhao Xuanqi's strategy, there is really no other way to defeat the enemy!
Zhao Xuanqi continued: "What's more, if others can't do it, why can't I? I have to do things that others can't do! I'm not an ordinary person!"

Zhao Wuwei was infected by Zhao Xuanqi's confidence.

Yes.

The Generalissimo is no ordinary person.

He is a god in heaven.

Defeated the 50-strong army of the Prodigal Army!

Forced back Beimang's millions of cavalry without a single blow!

All these incredible things were like myths and legends. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that someone could do such a thing.

The Generalissimo can always work miracles.It’s just a matter of climbing over the snow-capped mountains.

If the Generalissimo says he can do it, then he must do it!

Zhao Wuwei's eyes shone brightly, and he held the Grand Marshal's hand tightly with both hands: "Marshal, you must not have any accidents, I believe you!"

"I'll be waiting for you in the Huainan area. You can't break your promise to me!"

He gave Zhao Xuanqi a standard military salute, and then slowly left, the sound of armor plates clashing away.

Not long after, [-] elite soldiers, led by Zhao Wuwei, slowly left Chang'an. The direction they were going was Huainan!

Zhao Xuanqi stood outside Chang'an City, squinting at the retreating backs of the army, a smile blooming on his face.

"I can definitely do it!"

Since he decided to cross the Snow Mountain, Zhao Xuanqi naturally did not do it on a whim, and he was not a fool. If he was not prepared, how could he go there and die?
He was confident enough, so he made such a decision!
During the short half-year in winter, Zhao Xuanqi had already seen that the world was about to be in turmoil, so he took precautions. In addition to creating firearms in the factory, he also asked the craftsmen to make some gadgets to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army.

For example, a telescope.

Telescopes are basically already equipped in the army.

It can observe enemies very well, and also observe the scene in the distance, which is very useful.

Includes compressed cookies.

It is said to be a compressed biscuit, but it is actually not a biscuit, but a compressed food similar to compressed biscuits. Zhao Xuanqi carefully developed it. Just taking a small piece can make soldiers feel full.

This kind of food is particularly useful when marching!

It takes at least half a month to cross the snow-capped mountains. If you bring normal food, it will be heavy and plentiful, and it is impossible to carry it up. It is impossible to carry it at all.

Compressed biscuits are the best choice, allowing soldiers to travel lightly, reduce weight, speed up, and reduce the difficulty of climbing mountains.

There is also a compass in the army.

With a compass as a directional tool, you don't have to be afraid of getting lost. As long as you follow the direction, you will always reach your destination!
Moreover, Zhao Xuanqi used to be a liberal arts student and liked to read various magazines. He also knew how to identify directions by looking at the sky. He had already experimented with these methods, and these methods were also useful in this world.

With Zhao Xuanqi leading the army, the direction will basically not deviate too much, and it will basically not lose its way.

In Chinese history, the flying general Li Guang has the title that Li Guang is hard to entitle because he often gets lost, causing delays in fighter planes. Zhao Xuanqi does not want to get lost and die like him.

Moreover, Zhao Xuanqi decided to give up those bulky and long cold weapons and chose to only bring a flintlock gun and some ammunition.

Zhao Xuanqi did not give the flintlock gun to Zhao Wuwei, but Zhao Xuanqi prepared to use it himself. With the flintlock gun, he could launch the most violent attack behind the enemy's rear with the smallest number of people!
He doesn't have to take too many people over the snow-capped mountains. Too many people is not good. If there are fewer people, the difficulty of climbing can be reduced!
Each person is equipped with three horses, and there is no need to wear armor at all. What kind of armor is needed in the age of firearms?As long as you bring warm clothes, you can travel lightly and shuttle through the snowy mountains at the fastest speed, thereby achieving the feat of climbing over!

In Zhao Xuanqi's memory, even in the Chinese world, there were many ancient people who did things like crossing the Snowy Mountains in order to fight. Moreover, these ancient people were not as well-prepared as they were and did not have these black technologies...

Others can do it, why can’t I do it myself?

If not, then die!

Running thousands of miles across the snow-capped mountains, achieving an impossible climb, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and then attacking the enemy from both sides, this was Zhao Xuanqi's strategy.

After Zhao Wuwei left, it was time for Zhao Xuanqi to march.

However, as the general marshal of the imperial court and as an important minister, he holds an important position and cannot just leave.

Before leaving, Zhao Xuanqi still needed to meet Emperor Qinglong and Princess Xiaoyao to say goodbye and give instructions.

Princess Xiaoyao has been staying with the little emperor. In addition to taking care of him, she also plays a protective role.

Zhao Xuanqi went to the palace.

Not long after, Emperor Qinglong and Princess Xiaoyao chose to meet Zhao Xuanqi in Qiming Palace.

Zhao Xuanqi walked into the palace, his expression unchanged, his body standing straight, and he slowly told Princess Xiaoyao his plan.

"You mean you want to run thousands of miles, then climb over the snowy mountains and circle behind the enemy?"

Princess Xiaoyao was frightened.

Her face became very ugly, and she said subconsciously: "No, you can't do it like this. The Snowy Mountains are no-man's forbidden area, and there is no food supply, and it is easy to get lost, and the weather is very cold. There were people who didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth in the past. I wanted to lead the army there, but all of them died without a burial place..."

However, the voice became smaller and smaller.

She stopped talking mid-sentence.

If it were anyone else, Princess Xiaoyao would not believe that that person could cross the Snowy Mountains at all, but if this person was Zhao Xuanqi...

She looked at Zhao Xuanqi with a complicated expression. You must know that Zhao Xuanqi had just used one person to force back a million Northern Barbarian cavalry!
I am just a girl in a boudoir, so how can I be a match for a man like Zhao Xuanqi when marching and fighting?
Since Zhao Xuanqi said it will work, then it will definitely work!

She trusted Zhao Xuanqi for no reason, and then sighed, her beautiful eyes radiating bright light, and she changed her words: "You...you must not have an accident..."

Zhao Xuanqi replied forcefully: "I will definitely not have any accidents!"

Perhaps because the two of them knew that this operation was dangerous, the scene suddenly returned to silence, and the entire palace was filled with an aura of death, making it appear desolate and desolate.

Everything seems like Zhao Xuanqi is not here to say goodbye this time, but to say goodbye forever...

Emperor Qinglong's face became extremely pale when he saw the two of them looking silent and lifeless.

Although he is young, he is extremely smart and knows that Zhao Xuanqi's action is absolutely dangerous, otherwise the scene would never be so dead!
He raised his head, looked at Zhao Xuanqi's tall body, and couldn't help but ask: "Master, since it is so dangerous, can you not go?"

As the teacher of Emperor Qinglong, Zhao Xuanqi had corresponding positions. In this era, he was called Taishi, Emperorshi, etc. He could also be called teacher. There was no fixed title.

Zhao Xuanqi smiled and said: "No, I have to go."

The little emperor continued to ask: "Can we leave it to others? It's too dangerous. You can't go. Just leave it to others."

Zhao Xuanqi shook his head and said: "I don't trust other people. Only I can do this kind of big thing. It's safest to leave this kind of big thing to myself. I also came up with this strategy, so naturally I have to implement it."

Emperor Qinglong's face turned ugly. He raised his little face and said, "Teacher, I don't want you to go!"

Zhao Xuanqi lowered his body, half-knelt on the ground, looked directly at the little boy, and for a moment, as if by some strange coincidence, he touched his head very unruly, and then said with a smile: "No, I still have a chance of survival if I go. If I don’t go, everyone will be doomed.”

"If you sacrifice me alone, you can get the world's happiness and well-being. If you sacrifice my whole family, you can get the peace and stability of everyone in the world, what's the point?"

Emperor Qinglong pricked up his ears and listened to this sentence carefully, but his eyes were red. He didn't understand much, but subconsciously didn't want the teacher who had always protected him to leave.

He gritted his teeth and kept these words in his heart.

Zhao Xuanqi stood up and said goodbye slowly.

He walked out of the warm palace and walked into the cold windy air. He left this warm and comfortable room and walked alone under the cold and gloomy sky.

Time waits for no one, it’s time to march!
