Plane of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 238
"What, Cao Bin was defeated!"

Hearing this news, Qin Guan was also shocked.

Hurry up and take the battle report from player Li and look carefully.

The 20 army of Yelu Shigenobu of the Liao State and the 30 Zhao State Forbidden Army led by Cao Bin were originally facing each other in the border area of ​​Chuzhou and Yangzhou, and fell into a stalemate.

Chuzhou was called Tuzhong, Qingliu, and Xinchang in ancient times. It was located on the north bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. If Chuzhou was captured, the Liao army could station on the north bank of the Yangtze River and wait for an opportunity to attack Jinling City across the river.

Chuzhou had already strengthened its armaments before, with more than 1 soldiers, but it was no match for the [-] troops of the Liao Kingdom.

This time Cao Bin became anxious, and hurriedly dispatched 5 people to Chuzhou for reinforcements, but this time he fell into the trap of the Liao people. The Liao cavalry turned around and rushed directly to the reinforcements, annihilating Zhao's [-] troops in the wild.

Zhao Guo was defeated.

Then the Liao army continued to advance eastward, and it took two days to break through the city gate of Chuzhou. Chuzhou fell.

Chuzhou and Jinling City can be said to face each other across the river. After the Liao army occupied Chuzhou, they began to intensify their search for ships and set up a posture to cross the river. Jinling, the capital of Zhao, was in danger.

The emperor was furious and issued an order to reprimand Cao Bin.

On the front line of Zhengzhou, Xiao Chucai also put on a posture of aggressively attacking at any time, which made Li Jilong feel heavy pressure.

The drastic change in the battle situation made everyone in the Zhao country feel that there was a lot of danger. Now it can be said that everyone in Jinling City is in danger, and the atmosphere is very depressing.

Not to mention Jinling City, even Qin Guan, who was thousands of miles away, felt the pressure. If Zhao Guo was destroyed, not to mention his own mission, even his family would suffer.

His father, Qin Zhang, was in Jinling, and his mother, eldest brother, sister-in-law and unborn nephew were all in Hangzhou.

Could it be that there will be another sorrow of Yashan in this different time and space?

Qin Guan would never allow it.

Qin Guan locked himself in the study, staring at the map in a daze.

Outside the room, Han Yuqing and Luo Yi were a little anxious. Qin Guan hadn't eaten or drank all day, and they didn't dare to call the door. Han Cheng, Xiong Da, Xiong Er, Xue Mu, and Pan Liang also came. Dare to stand in the courtyard, dare not disturb Qin Guan.

It was ten minutes before the lights were held, the door was pushed open with a bang, and everyone hurried to look over.

Qin Guan glanced at the people present, and said with a serious face: "You are all here, I just have something to announce, Xiong Daxiong Er, Xue Mu, Pan Liang, I will give you two days to assemble the army and collect supplies to prepare for the expedition."

"Yes", the four of them didn't dare to neglect in the slightest, so they responded quickly.

"The preparation materials must be complete, and be prepared for a tough battle. By the way, how is the production of gunpowder?" Qin Guan asked.

Xiong Da hurriedly said: "Master, we produced several thousand catties of gunpowder when we were in Dayuan City. After returning to Xiongzhou, we stepped up production after you ordered it. Now it is estimated that it is tens of thousands of catties."

Qin nodded, probably tens of thousands of catties would be enough, "Bring them all."

After the four generals had left, Han Cheng came over and asked, "Brother-in-law, are you going to rescue Li Jilong and start a war against the King of the Southern Academy, Xiao Chucai?"

Qin Guan shook his head, spit out a few simple words, but shocked everyone present.

"I'm going to attack Zhongjing directly."

Han Yuqing and Han Cheng naturally knew where Zhongjing was, and even the Luoyi people knew that Zhongjing was the capital of the Liao Kingdom.

Now that Qin Guan actually said that he would directly attack Zhongjing, they were really shocked.

Han Cheng said: "Brother-in-law, although the Liao Kingdom is aggressively attacking our Great Zhao, and the country is relatively empty, there are still 10,000+ soldiers guarding us. We only have [-] soldiers, and we are going deep into the enemy's hinterland. How can we win? Once we are surrounded, I'm afraid"

Speaking of this, Han Cheng couldn't say any more.

Han Yuqing frowned, and said: "Master is planning to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, attack Liao capital Zhongjing, and bring back the Liao army to help."

Qin Guan nodded and said, "Yes."

Han Yuqing persuaded: "But it's winter now, the weather in Liao is cold and snowy, and the march is difficult. To attack Zhongjing, you must annihilate the frontier army of Liao, and at least attack one of Nanjing or Xijing. With so many soldiers, we will definitely not be able to take it down."

"With such a long battle line, supply will become very difficult. If the supply line is cut off by the Liao Kingdom, it will be very dangerous for a single army to go deep."

In fact, Qin Guan had already thought about these problems a long time ago. He was alone in the room and thought through all possible situations that he might encounter.

It is indeed dangerous to go deep alone, but if it is really done by him, it is the most effective method now.

Qin nodded his head, "We can learn from the people of the Liao Kingdom, to feed the war with war, to rob when there is no food, to rob the gathering place of the Liao people, to grab their cattle and sheep as rations, to get food from the enemy, and to supplement what we need from the Liao people. military supplies."

"Could it be that Xianggong wants to be Wei Qing and Huo Qubing?" Han Yuqing asked in surprise.

Qin Guan chuckled, "Why not."

In fact, Qin Guan was going to use the tactics of the Mongols.

Han Yuqing looked at Qin Guan and said solemnly, "Master, I will follow you to Liao Kingdom this time."

"You were injured so badly before."

Han Yuqing said: "It's completely recovered, and I feel that my body is better than before."

Qin Guan thought for a while, and finally agreed, "Since you insist, I can take you there. I think of a position that is especially suitable for you."

Han Yuqing was eager to try, "What is it?"

"Be my captain."

After instructing the generals, Qin Guan called Li Xuan again, and said to Li Xuan, "I am going to send troops to attack the Liao Kingdom, raid the grasslands, and adopt the strategy of encircling Wei and saving Zhao, hoping to ease the crisis in the country."

Li Xuan's face changed drastically: "General, this is too dangerous. Although the Liao Kingdom has sent 40 troops, there are still many troops in the country. If we go deep into the territory of the Liao Kingdom, we will definitely be close to death."

"And such an important decision should be reported to the Ministry of War and His Majesty to know, and it can only be implemented with their consent."

Qin Guandao: "Now the domestic situation is urgent, and it is too late to wait for instructions. We must make a decision as soon as possible to solve the crisis in Jinling. I plan to send troops in two days. If everything goes well, we will be able to arrive at Xijin Mansion in Nanjing in five days and break through the analysis. After Jin Mansion, I plan to directly kill Zhongjing Dading Mansion."

Li Xuan's eyes widened, "General, Xijin Mansion is one of the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom, and there are no less than [-] guards. The city wall is so tall, how can we attack it?"

"I have my own way." Qin Guan said firmly.

"Yes, but General, for such an important decision, we'd better ask His Majesty for permission before sending troops. If we fail, we can't bear the responsibility." Li Xuan said.

Qin Guan thought for a while and said, "You report now, just say so."
