Chapter nine hundred and ninety-fifth is just a war
After taking down Yong'an County City, Zhao Wei and Liu Yulinglong did not immediately send troops to attack other places to expand their territory, but instead acted as a stubborn attitude.
The reason for doing this is that they actually have not many county soldiers, which is only about 50,000. Of course, it is enough to guard the county city, but they are somewhat unable to compete with them if they want to go out to capture other cities.
Secondly, although Zhao Wei and Liu Yulinglong did not lead the troops, they could see the current situation very clearly. Once they took action, Cao Shiping, the left prime minister who had been staring at Yong'an County, would definitely know.
Then, Cao Shiping, who came to investigate the case under the order, would definitely not ignore it. He could mobilize the troops of the entire Baocang Province except Yong'an County. Even if the 200,000 elite soldiers who have been stationed in Yong'an County, the total number of soldiers in each county alone would have to be 200,000 to 300,000.
Even if the total number of these county soldiers is a certain amount of water due to problems such as the generals and officials who are vacant, and some of the elderly, weak, sick and disabled people are indispensable. After all this is removed, there will be at least fifteen to twenty-hundred thousand county soldiers who can fight.
For Zhao Wei and Liu Yulinglong, who only have 50,000 troops, the difference in military strength between the two sides is too great. Unless Xia Fan is willing to take action himself, he will know that he will lose before he can fight such a battle.
But Xia Fan already told them very clearly that he was already a powerful master in the Grandmaster realm, and it was really inconvenient for him to attack ordinary soldiers. Even if he could do it, he would not care this time, because how to solve the current situation is a test for them and they need to solve it themselves.
After hearing Xia Fan say this, Zhao Wei and Liu Yulinglong no longer expect their boss to take action personally. So after some discussion, they decided to make everything stable.
Therefore, the two finally decided to give up taking the initiative, but instead rely on the solid city and city moat formation of Yong'an County City to deal with the attacking enemies. The time didn't have to last long, just wait for the army led by Lu Chuan to arrive.
It has to be said that the strategy specified by the two is quite conservative, but for the current situation, it is also a good idea. However, because the attack is not very active, it is equivalent to losing a lot of opportunities that could have disrupted Cao Shiping's layout in advance and even severely damaged his army.
Xia Fan saw all this, but said nothing.
Since Xia Fan decided to let them take charge of this matter, of course he would trust them. Even if there were some minor mistakes, he would not rashly intervene.
Because Xia Fan knew very well that he could not always stay by their side to protect them. If he did not let go of his hands and let them go through some training, it would be difficult for them to truly stand alone.
Of course, both of them did a good job in collecting intelligence or raising and operating logistics supplies before. Xia Fan was very satisfied, but he knew better that this did not mean anything.
Of course, Xia Fan was not satisfied that Zhao Wei and Liu Yulinglong could only stand beside him to assist him, and hoped that each of them could control the overall situation independently. Only in this way can he leave with confidence when he had to do other things in the future without worrying that the foundation he had laid after he came back had been destroyed by the enemy.
Neither Zhao nor Liu Yulinglong were fools. Of course, they felt that Xia Fan was doing this. Therefore, even though they had never been exposed to many things before, they are doing better now.
However, neither of them had any experience in leading troops to fight, so the responsibility of leading troops to defend the city was finally handed over to Jia Yansong.
Jia Yansong was both surprised and depressed about the decisions of these two little princes. He had been mingling like an old fry over the years and had rarely experienced fighting on the battlefield.
Now that he suddenly asked him to lead troops to defend the city, Jia Yansong himself felt it was a bit unreliable. He wanted to ask these two young masters to take back Cheng's life, but Zhao Wei and Liu Yulinglong shook their heads and refused, saying that they had no choice but to let him do this. There are really not many trustworthy and talented people in the city now, so they can only give him a temporary replacement.
This sentence made Jia Yansong a little depressed, and the next sentence from Zhao Wei and Liu Yulinglong made Jia Yansong want to vomit blood.
Zhao Wei said: "Old Jia, we know you are not good, but we can't do anything about it. If there are some other ways, we won't drive the ducks to put them on the shelves. If Bu Fenghou is here, we will definitely not look for you."
"Nonsense, if Bu Fenghou is here, I won't do it if you look for me!" Jia Yansong, who felt that he was seriously despised, felt extremely unhappy and roared secretly.
Of course, Jia Yansong knew that he was definitely inferior to Bu Fenghou. If Bu Fenghou was there, he would definitely abdicate and give way to the wise. However, now he was despised by Zhao Wei and Liu Yulinglong, and he still felt angry.
"Don't worry, two little princes, I will guard the city." Jia Yansong said gritting his teeth.
"Since Lao Jia, you are so confident, I'll ask you all." Zhao Wei and Liu Yulinglong said in a solemn manner.
"Oh, I seem to be given by them..." Jia Yansong woke up at this time. He was probably plotted by the two of them. This was a provocation method. He didn't even see it!
Although Jia Yansong, who realized it later, began to be depressed again, since he made a promise, he would naturally do his best to do it. After saying goodbye, he moved his bedding to the top of the city and put on the stance of living and dying with the entire Yong'an County City, which made the county soldiers under him look at him with admiration.
Cao Shiping's army came far faster than Zhao Wei and Liu Yulinglong had expected.
It is obvious that although Cao Shiping is a civil servant, he is also very understanding of the principle that soldiers are very fast in military tactics. Especially when facing rebellion, he is impatient to send troops to suppress it, which is easier to wipe out his foothold when he is not stable. Otherwise, the price he pays to try to wipe out if he has gained a firm foothold and wants to wipe out it.
Although there were differences between civil officials and military generals in the Han Dynasty, the boundaries between the two sides were actually not very clear. Among civil officials, there were many people who could go on horseback and fight, and among military generals, there were also many who could play in writing.
Cao Shiping, the left prime minister, is a kind of person who practices both civil and military affairs. In fact, this is not surprising. He was originally a cultivator and naturally was proficient in combat. It was not surprising that he could read some military and horse strategies.
"Woo..." When traces of troops emerged at the distance between heaven and earth, a shrill horn sounded from Yong'an County.
Then, the county soldiers who had already known that there would inevitably be a fierce battle to fight rushed to the city and took their place, looking alert, worried, excited or fearful, at the large gangs of soldiers and the rolling smoke and dust on the horizon in the distance.
"Damn it, Cao Shiping is really willing to leave the book. He actually brought 400,000 troops here in one breath. Do you want to swallow Yong'an County in one breath?!" Jia Yansong, who was standing on the top of the city, looked at the smoke and dust in the distance, murmured to himself, his face gloomy as if it was covered with dark clouds.
It is said that some old corpses and experienced scouts can roughly determine the number of enemies by the smoke and dust that the enemy stomped during the march. It is obvious that Jia Yansong is proficient in this.
Although he agreed to Zhao Wei and Liu Yulinglong to lead troops to defend the city, Jia Yansong was not confident in his heart. Now that he saw that there were many enemies, he felt even more upset.
"Everyone is more energetic, it's just a war. There's nothing scary. Although they have a large population, we have cities. No matter how we say it is, we can take advantage of it. This is called a geographical advantage." Jia Yansong saw that the county soldiers around him looked not very good-looking and showed a bit of fear, so he shouted loudly to boost their morale.
"If you really fight, don't be afraid. Take the arrows in your hand and shoot the grandsons outside. We don't have anything else. There are so many arrows, just use them casually." Jia Yansong said: "Don't think that we have fewer people and can't beat them. Tell you, my young master is in the city. Do you know who my young master is?"
Jia Yansong asked, and said directly without waiting for someone else to answer: "That is the son of King Zhen, the eldest brother of Qiankun Sect, who destroyed the Lan Yu Kingdom and Xia Fan of the Shenmu Kingdom. Let me tell you a secret. My young master is a powerful master in the Grand Master realm."
"Ah!" The words Jia Yansong said before did not make the surrounding county soldiers feel anything, but as soon as the words "The Grandmaster Realm" were expressed, the surrounding county soldiers immediately exclaimed in unison.
For them, the shock brought by the powerful master level is far greater than that of all kinds of names that sound frightening. When they heard that there are powerful master level sitting in the city, they immediately felt like they had a backbone, as if they were under the protection of the powerful master level.
"So, everyone is cheering up. I will fight hard later. My young master will be watching us in the city." Jia Yansong said loudly.
"Fight, fight, fight." Everyone shouted in unison, and their fighting spirit was much stronger than before.
Not long after, Cao Shiping led an army of 400,000 to the city of Yong'an County.
"Zhao Wei, where is Liu Yu Linglong? The true minister Cao Shiping is here. I have something to tell you." Cao Shiping did not rush to launch an attack, but decided to be courtesy first and then soldiers. At the same time, he also asked his troops to start preparing for the attack.
"We are here, just say anything," Zhao Wei and Liu Yulinglong appeared on the top of the city and looked at Cao Shiping in the distance.
Although they are far apart, because of the strong strength of both sides, even if they speak like normal, the voice can still be clearly heard into each other's ears, and even everyone present can clearly hear it.
"Do you two know that you have committed a heinous crime? If you don't repent and continue to do your own thing, the day when I break through Yong'an County will be the time for you to die." Cao Shiping said loudly.
"Killing Hu Mingzhi is a serious crime. So, Lord Zuo Prime Minister, Liu Xingchen, who was immortal, took over the body of his own son, Prince Liu Zhiguo, and then used the trick of abdicating himself to himself. What kind of crime is it to continue sitting on the throne and doing whatever he wants?" Zhao Wei asked with a smile.
