Chapter 324 Little Tail
It took more than half a month for the news to reach Wu Qian's ears that more than half of the 50,000 to 60,000 people were captured alive.
He is currently busy fighting in the ring with Weining. The two of them are having a huge quarrel because they are robbing a city.
He began to unite with the country of Yue to put pressure on the Wang family, and he had two plans.
If the Wang family can be forced to take a stand on the side of the Wu Kingdom, it will be a profit. If this cannot be done, the most powerful person in Qian'an can also be seen fighting for that position.
As long as the Langya Wang family does not end, then he, Wu Qi'an, is the one who has the best chance of ascending to the throne.
But he never expected that while he was busy working inside and outside, Prime Minister Wang did not invite him out, but tens of thousands of people were lost.
With the chaos among the princes, tens of thousands of people is not a small number.
He no longer had the confidence to continue the siege of Fuzhou City, which was still a sure thing.
Now that Wang has taken action, he has to consider whether they will take advantage of Zhao's way to capture his Wu capital while he is away from Wu.
How dare he gamble at this critical moment?
Wu Qi'an's retreat gave Wei Ning a big sigh of relief.
He had just captured the city when he was blocked by Wu Qi'an who came immediately upon smelling the smell. He had been besieged in Fuzhou for more than a month. If Wu Qi'an did not retreat, he would really have to attack him after all the hard work. The city below was surrendered to others.
Wei Ning was cautious by nature. He was afraid that retreating was just Wu Qi'an's plan, so he endured half a month in Fuzhou before opening the city gate.
He is now like a paper tiger. His army is following the same pattern as the Beiyuan barbarians, relying on fighting to support fighting. The past few months of the truce have almost made him despair.
But he had to pretend to be confident of victory. Except for a few generals trained by the Wei family who were recruited by him, the rest were all money wolves. Once he became tired, those money wolves and tigers would take advantage of him. It came up and bit his throat and sucked his blood.
There were not ten but eight princes in the same situation as Weining.
He racked his brains to find a way to break the situation.
Finally, he thought about it and came up with a method that he thought was feasible - kill the barbarian.
The so-called killing of barbarians means that the north of Shengjing is now occupied by barbarians led by Beiyuan. The remaining area of Qian'an is only so large. Each fiefdom has already had a king. They have been here for many generations. If they had not implemented it thoroughly The way the royal family behaved that week, it was not difficult to capture them.
Just like Fuzhou, which he had just captured, this was the border of Zhao State. If it hadn't been the most severely affected by the disaster before, and several of King Zhao's princes got sick and disabled due to the disaster relief, he would not have taken the idea of taking here. After all, Zhao Wang Zhi is actually a good king.
But if you go to the north to kill the barbarians, it will be different. Everyone is a master who feeds on war. Those barbarians are brave on the grassland, but there are many hills to the north of Shengjing, and the terrain is so complicated that Wei Ning is extremely Good at.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible. He summoned several generals to discuss this idea, and they immediately got support.
Anyway, they are taking advantage of the chaos to grab the territory. It is better to grab the outsiders than to grab one's own people. If you think about it more seriously, the territory is Qian'an's. If you think about it from a small perspective, then if your master really succeeds, at least there will be less feuding.
Once he made up his mind, Weining abandoned Fuzhou, which he had just captured, taking away everything he could and burning what he couldn't take away.
Wei Ning is not the only one who has this idea. She, Xie Fengyue, is also blessed in her soul.
Xie Fengyue didn't act according to Gongzi Yan's idea. When he couldn't wait to clear away the garbage blocking the door of the house and prepared to pick up Xie Fengyue, he was in vain.
Only the crying Zhi Zhi was left watching Xie Rong play in the tent.
After asking, I learned that Xie Fengyue had the courage to attack a nearby small town.
That small town was originally a place where rogue bandits took advantage of Huai'an's siege and couldn't spare any effort to rectify the situation. There were only one or two thousand people in total.
When Xie Fengyue called for battle at the city gate, the group saw that she was a woman and there were only less than a thousand people. They all started to say vulgar words. Under her sarcastic words, they all came to fight with wooden sticks.
Li Xiaobao beat them just like I beat my son. He didn't even take out the long knife he carried with him and picked six of them. Just when they opened the city gate and went out to replace people, Xie Fengyue rushed into the city with an order without any moral ethics.
Naturally, the result was that I beat my son, and neither of them made a sound.
When Xie Fengyue entered the city, she realized that this group of people didn't seem to be bad guys at all.
After they moved into the county magistrate's house, in addition to placing the magistrate's family under house arrest, they demanded that they have meat to eat every day. They also ignored the people, as if they captured the city just to eat meat.
Xie Fengyue was convinced.
She expressionlessly untied the rope for the county magistrate, who was crying with snot and tears, and then threw the seven leaders into the cell.
At the end, someone yelled and cursed, saying that she, a noble clan, did not follow the rules. Didn't she agree that when the two armies faced each other, the first thing she did was to call for formation?
Xie Fengyue just sneered and didn't even bother to reply to them.
The rules in the past were indeed like this. Among the sixteen feudal states in Qian'an, no one dared to say that they had no ancestral friendship. Therefore, if there was a war between the two countries, the first thing to do when the two armies fought was to call a formation and make an agreement. Play various games based on time, place, and number of people.
But now, Qian'an is gone.
The newly appointed King of Qi didn't even decide on a new title for his country, so he was in a state of despair.
Still clinging to those red tapes is just looking for death.
Xie Fengyue had just settled down, Gongzi Yan had settled down and Xie Rong came with Zhe Zhi.
Her enthusiasm for conquering a city was dampened by 70%, and the remaining 30% was because Gongzi Yan did not speak to stop her.
Gongzi Yan really didn't stop her. He had already discovered what this girl wanted to do. Now that she had won the first battle, it was not appropriate to throw cold water on her, so he naturally shut up and followed silently.
His following was really following.
Follow closely.
He was unwilling to stop Moon Girl's little idea, and was worried about her getting hurt, so he had no choice but to take this approach.
On the third day after he followed Xie Fengyue's army, which was a hundred and eighty miles away from the small town, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Why don't you go back to Huai'an?" She glared angrily, her cheeks bulging.
Young Master Yan's smile was so gentle that he didn't look evil at all on the battlefield: "Of course I will go wherever Madam goes."
Xie Fengyue snorted coldly: "You can't understand, I am going to take a bath with my clothes!?"
Gongzi Yan continued to laugh: "Of course I understand."
Xie Fengyue was so angry that he was almost incoherent.
She gritted her teeth: "Okay, then you can follow."
As soon as she finished speaking, she opened the tent's curtain with a snap and went in without looking back.
Young Master Yan's eyebrows and eyes were curved again and again, and he could clearly see that the base of his ears turned red.
Thank you Qinglu for your monthly ticket~Thank you Buliang for your monthly ticket~
I have written before that the disaster-stricken envoys of Zhao State went to Beijing to ask for help, and the princes of Zhao State immediately went to provide disaster relief.
The inspiration for "Killing Barbarians" comes from Ran Min's order to kill barbarians during the Five Barbarians' rebellion in China.
