Dafeng's Night Squad

Chapter 1427: Official meeting (2)

“If you don’t want your family to be destroyed, then help defend the city with your life. This way, you’ll be able to exhaust the rebel Army’s strength. However, this was under the condition that the Imperial court had reinforcements. Ziqian, you’ve done a good job in compromising.”

As he spoke, he looked at the disciple he was proud of and laughed, ”

“Farewell. Come and analyze the situation in Qingzhou for everyone.”

The prefect of Qingzhou, the commander, the judge, and the officials and generals under them all looked at him.

Xu niannian did not have stage fright. He straightened his back and slowly swept his gaze across the crowd.

“I think that how long can Qingzhou be defended and how to defend it, there are three points that you must understand.

“One, the environment of Yunzhou!

“The weather in Yunzhou is warm and humid, the land is fertile, and every household has surplus grain.In the past twenty years, the rebel party had secretly eroded the water transport Yamen of the Imperial court and transported countless iron ores in secret. He didn’t lack salt, iron, or grain.

“In such a rich land, if administrator yang wants to use refugees and poor people to drag down the other party, it’s just a drop in the bucket.”

“Then according to Lord Xu’s meaning, emissary yang bu’s strategy is inappropriate?” The magistrate of Qingzhou frowned.

Xu niannian shook his head. emissary yang bu’s strategy will naturally not be wrong, but the focus should be changed. Don’t think about dragging them down, but kill their elites.

He looked at the map of the Qing and Yun prefectures on the wall behind yang Gong and said in a deep voice, ”

“We’re back in Yunzhou. Do you still remember the other name of Yunzhou?

“Bandit province!

“Ever since Emperor Gaozu, Yunzhou was occupied by the rebels of the previous dynasty, who turned into mountain bandits and wreaked havoc in the region. For the past six hundred years, Yunzhou’s bandit problem had never been solved.

do you all still remember the population of Yunzhou when the Yellow Book was last remade? ”

The officials looked at each other, but no one knew.

They were officials of Qingzhou. How could they know about Yunzhou?

Yang Gong tapped the table with his finger and glanced at the officials with dissatisfaction. He slowly said, ”

the last time was in the 30th year of yuanjing. There were 830000 households in Yunzhou recorded, and the population was about 3.5 million.

This was the data from eight years ago.

Xu Erlang cupped his hands and continued with a calm expression, ”

“If I remember correctly, every time the Yellow Book is re-created, the population of Yunzhou is decreasing sharply. This is the price of running rampant with bandits.”

At this moment, the officials already understood what he wanted to say.

the population limits the number of their troops. In addition, in the past few decades, the training and training of their troops have been carried out in secret. Xu Erlang knocked on the table with his fist and said in a powerful voice, ”

“The lack of elite soldiers is the greatest weakness of the rebel side. Regardless of the price, we must kill their elites. This is what we should do.”

“Reasonable!” Everyone nodded slowly.

Zhang Shen, yang Gong, and Li Mubai looked at each other and smiled.

Xu niannian raised two fingers and said, ”

“2. Combat strength!

“A transcendent’s combat power is a factor that can not be ignored in a war. Sometimes, a transcendent can even reverse the outcome of a conventional battle.”

The reason why he used the “normal” battle map was because there were super large battle maps in this world, like the Battle of Shanhai Pass.

It was very difficult for a single transcendent to turn the tide of a war that swept across all the major forces of the nine regions. It was not that transcendents were not strong enough, but that there were too many transcendent experts participating in the battle, so it was not surprising.

Of course, it would be a different story if it was a Supreme-grade or a first-grade martial artist.

“Who is the commander of the enemy?” li Mubai suddenly asked.

“His surname is Qi and his name is Guang Bo. He’s a nobody,” yang Gong replied.

“A nameless person leading the three armies?” Zhang Shen’s brows raised.

“Nameless doesn’t mean untalented,” yang Gong said slowly. On the contrary, this person was extremely powerful. He sent troops to drive away the refugees, then let experts mix in with the refugees to numb the defenders, and easily approached the city wall. Huang Ling County, which was at the border, was caught off guard like this and only managed to hold on for a day before it was broken through.”

“The general guarding the city is soft-hearted and allowed the refugees to approach. They should be killed!” Zhang Shen sneered.

The commander of the capital of Qingzhou, Zhou Quan, sighed, “”He’s already dead.”

“That’s right, we don’t know if this commander is a transcendent or not,” li Mubai said.

Yang Gong nodded, ”

“Other than the Bodhisattva of the Buddha of the Rakshasa and Xu Pingfeng, who are responsible for keeping the guards busy, there are no transcendents in the rebel army. However, it’s very likely that he’s hiding and hasn’t shown himself.”

As a fourth-grade expert of the Confucians and a famous scholar of the Central Plains, yang Gong had no obvious flaws in his talent and personality.

He would never underestimate his enemy with arrogance.

“The Imperial court also doesn’t lack transcendent experts.” Xu xinnian said.

At this moment, the first thing that flashed through the minds of all the officials was not sun Xuanji of the Directorate of Celestials, but Xu Qi ‘an, who had a reputation like burning oil.

“The third point is the reinforcements!”

Xu niannian’s face was grave. what I mean is that both sides will send reinforcements. Since Buddhism has already colluded with the rebels in Yunzhou, the armies of the Western regions will invade the border sooner or later.”

“Once the Imperial court is forced into a battle on two fronts, the reinforcements and military needs that Qing Zhou Can receive will be greatly reduced. On the other hand, the Yunzhou rebel army was like a tiger that had grown wings. This is also related to the second problem of combat power.”

The atmosphere in the meeting hall became solemn. Everyone frowned secretly, and their eyes were filled with worry.

The rebel army in Yunzhou was menacing, and refugees from all over the Central Plains were a disaster. It was already difficult for Qingzhou to stop the rebel army.

Now they were facing the invasion of the countries in the Western Region. The Imperial court was fighting on two fronts, so it was certainly impossible to take care of Qingzhou, because the power of Buddhism was well known.

There might even be a situation where the Army of the Western regions would reach the capital while Qingzhou was still fighting a tough battle.

“It would be great if we could make the armies of the kingdoms of the Western Region not dare to invade the border.” The magistrate of Qingzhou sighed.

What. fool’s dream … As a general, commander Zhou sneered in his heart. If the Duke of Wei was still alive, perhaps he would be able to make the Buddhists fear him and not start a war rashly.

Now that they were in great Feng, who could make the Buddhist sect fear them?

They were not even afraid of the jianzheng Buddhism sect, because this behemoth that dominated the Western Region did not lack top masters.

However, there were only a handful of rare commanders like Wei Yuan in the nine prefectures.

“This is a dead end!”

Li Mubai, who was skilled in chess, slowly shook his head.”It’s impossible for us to contain the Buddhist League. It’s inevitable that they will march east.”

Yang Gong slowly let out a breath,”therefore, what we have to do is to kill as many rebel elites as possible, even if it means risking our lives.” I’ll leave the rest to you.”

He was truly helpless.

“As soon as the Duke of Wei died, the rebels in Yunzhou rebelled. The Buddhists in the Western regions tore up the Alliance and turned against us because they thought we had no one in the Central Plains. We can’t do anything about it …” The magistrate of Qingzhou was heartbroken.

Xu Xinian was silent. The Buddhist sect in the Western Region was powerful and had many soldiers and generals. Moreover, Arhats and bodhisattvas were in charge of alanda. Such a behemoth was by no means something that could be controlled by schemes and intrigues.

At this moment, he suddenly saw two more people in the corner of the chamber. One of them was dressed in white, and his appearance, temperament, and height were ordinary. The other person had a Thunderlord mouth and ugly features like a monkey’s. His eyes were blue and clear, as if he could see through people’s hearts.

“Senior Brother Sun, what are you doing here?”

Xu niannian was shocked.

He knew this second disciple of the supervisor court.

When did he come … Yang Gong and the others were stunned and turned their heads to look.

Protector Yuan glanced at the crowd and said,

“Their hearts are telling me, who is this? Why was he here? Sun Xuanji? Aren’t there any normal disciples of the supervisor?”

After saying that, protector Yuan was shocked. He immediately tried to deny it and pointed at Xu niannian, ”

“He was the one who said the last sentence,”

Xu niannian: “!!!
