Chapter 258 Asking For A Fight
After some recruitment, Li Guanting's 3,000-strong Qingwang Army was rebuilt.
When he was ambushed at the border, all his bodyguards were wiped out.
But of course he did not bring all the personal soldiers with him. There were also 300 personal guards who stayed behind in the Qingwang Mansion fiefdom.
At this time, as the foundation of the Qingwang Army, they took the newly recruited soldiers and evolved into the new Qingwang Army after more than ten years of training.
Even the method of 3,000-man army has been controlled.
Just wait for a bloody battle to become a strong army.
At this time, the world of the Daqi Dynasty was not peaceful, but it could not be called continuous war.
When there will be war and chaos, and when peace will be restored, it all depends on what Mo Qi in the north says.
Finally, after waiting for another five years, the King Qing's army, which was always prepared, finally got its chance.
…
[In the year 1585 of the Qi calendar, the Hengjian Pass was broken and the nine princes died in battle. 】
[The demonic weapons arrived at the people of Chengzhou after Hengjiang Pass. 】
[The world was shocked, the news was quickly conveyed to Yongle City, and Emperor Qi held a court meeting. 】
[The ministers discussed and pushed back for a long time, and the final strategy they came up with was to abandon the people of Chengzhou, stick to the remaining border towns, and strictly guard against the demon cavalry. 】
[You see how the officials in the imperial court are so cowardly and dare not fight, and you feel angry in your heart. 】
[Looking at the dragon chair again, Emperor Qi’s face behind the beaded curtain turned soothing and slightly relieved. 】
【So, you choose...】
[A. Agree and give in B. Stay calm C. Request for expedition D. Intervene personally]
At the beginning, the demon clan rebelled against the royal family of Da Qi and established themselves as Northern Qi. There was one royal family and seventeen royal families.
As hundreds of years passed, some royal families declined or even died, while others became more courageous and became more famous among the demon clan.
The Fire Demon Clan and the Blood Demon Clan are the leaders among them.
The demons sent tens of thousands of troops to break through Hengjian Pass and kill the Ninth Prince.
Leading this battle are the most brave and bloodthirsty Fire Demon Army and Blood Demon Army.
That's all. The two clans have been close friends for hundreds of years.
The tens of thousands of demon armies broke through Hengjiang Pass and reached Chengzhou. No one wanted to get into trouble.
As a result, the ministers spoke freely and rushed to express their opinions.
Li Guanting listened for a long time and found that they were agitated and angry, but they were saying one thing in different ways——
Now that Chengzhou is occupied by the demons, they are invincible. A bloody frontal battle would be irrational. The real way to defeat the enemy is to surrender Chengzhou and then flank the demons on three sides.
As a result, the demon army advanced alone into the territory of Southern Qi, isolated and helpless, and they must retreat voluntarily, otherwise they will be besieged.
Subduing the enemy's troops without fighting is the correct answer to this battle.
Emperor Qi nodded slightly, and then said, "You can speak freely. Does anyone else have any ideas?"
Prince Li Yuanqing took half a step forward and smiled slightly: "Father, I think it is fair to say that these ministers are experienced and experienced. Only when we overcome strength with softness can we fight without bloodshed."
Emperor Qi nodded again, and the bead curtain in front of him shook.
Li Guanting took a deep breath, from being completely unable to understand to gradually understanding everything.
He had understood the situation and figured out why his military achievements were no worse than Li Yuanqing's. Li Yuanqing was the prince, but he was the second prince who almost died at the border.
Today's so-called court meeting is that the father, who is afraid of the demon swords, wants the ministers and the prince to help him say what he is unwilling to say on his own initiative.
In this way, the father just nodded and erased any responsibility for his future missteps.
Don’t seek merit, but seek no faults. So when the demons invaded, they only defended but did not attack, retreating again and again.
The reason why Li Yuanqing is the prince is simply because he saw through the nature of his father earlier than he did.
So he could always say what Emperor Qi wanted to hear at the most appropriate time.
In this way, it would be difficult for him not to be a prince.
Li Guanting wanted to laugh, so——
When Emperor Qi said without changing his expression, the bandits' army was as strong as a broken bamboo, and it was better to follow the wishes of the kings, retreat from the sharp edge and fight without bloodshed.
When the ministers and the prince bowed in salute and shouted His Majesty's wisdom.
Li Guanting laughed out loud.
Li Guanting jumped out unabashedly, making everyone's brows jump.
Emperor Qi looked at him steadily: "Guanting has something to say?"
Li Guanting took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Father, I am willing to lead 10,000 elite soldiers, coupled with my own 3,000 troops, I will be able to conquer the demon army and regain Chengzhou!"
Emperor Qi was silent for a few seconds and asked: "What if it can't be done?"
"Come and see me!"
Calm yet firm, he was incompatible with the ministers who had just spoken excitedly in the court about concessions.
Emperor Qi hesitated for a long time and finally nodded.
The ministers looked at Li Guanting's back with complicated expressions and various thoughts.
Li Yuanqing smiled and crossed his second brother off his list in his heart.
The second brother is no longer anything to worry about.
The Fire Demon Army and the Blood Demon Army are the most brave. Now that the city gate has been broken, how can tens of thousands of elite troops be able to defeat them?
The second brother's Qing Wang Army was completely destroyed more than ten years ago. Even if it is rebuilt, how can the new army compare with the bloody army?
Quantity and quality are both defeated, and you cannot win on the battlefield with full blood and courage.
"Besides, these so-called 10,000 elite soldiers cannot turn the tide of the war..."
"After I ascend the throne, I will definitely change this situation."
Li Yuanqing murmured in his heart.
Stimulated by the success of the rebellion by the demon generals, Da Qi's orthodoxy was forced to move south to divide the world into two parts.
"There will be no permanent generals in the Southern Qi Dynasty" has become a default military rule.
In addition to the emperor's imperial guards, they were personally controlled by the emperor's confidants and deeply trusted by the emperor.
The rest of the army, even those guarding the border, have to change their generals every once in a while.
Maybe today a general is still boringly training soldiers day after day near Gyeonggi Province, and tomorrow he will be sent to the front line to command a completely unfamiliar army to resist the demonic army.
In this way, it is greatly avoided that the general will rely on his own troops and be subject to foreign military orders, and the possibility of the general's rebellion will be infinitely suppressed.
After all, the soldiers are not familiar with the general, who has nothing to do to rebel against you and lose their heads?
But at the same time, because of this, the generals had no specific grasp of the army, and the army's combat effectiveness was naturally infinitely weakened.
The law of military power is rooted in soldiers and is not affected by the change of generals.
But if the generals are replaced, how can the power of the military be used? There is no possibility of military spirit, morale, etc. existing.
Compared to the brave and martial Northern Qi, it is natural that Southern Qi has been suppressed and beaten.
The prince of the Qi Dynasty was both a prince and a general. He had a bodyguard that non-royal generals did not have. This was obviously to make up for the shortcomings of this military formation system to a certain extent.
Now, in Li Yuanqing's eyes, the second brother couldn't stand the court's situation and chose to fight head-on.
It is obviously extremely irrational and has no future.
"It's a pity that my second brother is brave and brave. If he can be used by me, he can be regarded as a fierce general."
"But if I die, it will be my wish."
