Chapter 776: Long-term planning
Kaiping County was not defended.m Although Lu must have wanted to defend Kaiping County very much. Deng Hong was granted the title of Kaiping County. If Kaiping County was lost, wouldn’t this title become a joke? Normally, he still has 50,000 troops on hand now. Although he is truly elite, no more than 20,000 people can be taken away by the American and mainland people, he is more than enough to defend the city. In the battle of siege, he sieges five times and attack ten times, which is common sense, but the Ming army has only an army of more than 20,000, and does not have the ability to attack the city. This is also the reason why Lu must have defended the city after retreating to Kaiping County.
But Lu must have underestimated the impact of Deng, Pu, Deng Su and his two deaths on the army. When the Ming army began to attack the city, when two masters appeared in their army, and when the Qin army had no fighting spirit and was almost about to collapse, Lu must have almost gone crazy.
The army has never been afraid of a single master, because the army can have countless lives and strict discipline to fight against it or even kill the other party. However, a master with the army cooperates is an unsolvable existence. Unless you can have a person who can compete with it.
But Deng Pu is already dead, and there is not even a level nine peak in this Qin army now.
Lu must have to run again. Fortunately, at this time, he had gathered those who had escaped from Hengdian. At least he had gathered up three thousand cavalry to cut off the retreating army. Otherwise, if the Ming army's cavalry chased after him, the casualties would be even more severe.
Qin Feng was wearing black armor, and even his face was covered with armor. He stood on the top of the roof of the city gate of Zhongping County City with a big knife. Behind him, the horse and monkey were holding the Great Ming Sun and Moon Flag. This was the highest point of Zhongping County City. Standing here, whether it was the retreating Qin soldiers or the Ming army who were bravely moving forward, he could clearly see his existence.
This was an extremely frustrating thing for the Qin people.
But for the Ming army, they could inspire their morale to the highest point. That was their emperor, a martial arts master. Now His Majesty is standing, watching their battle.
The battle broke out at dawn and it was basically over after noon. The Qin army abandoned their families and supplies in the city, abandoned everything that might affect their speed, and fled desperately towards the direction of Qin.
Now the city has started cleaning operations, and the Ming army has cleared some enemies that are still fighting for the final stubbornness. Zhongping County officially announced the change of hands.
The breeze was swaying beside him, and He Rentu appeared beside Qin Feng with his oars. Looking at Qin Feng's appearance, he couldn't help but laugh happily.
Qin Feng, who had been in the same position, turned his head, lifted up his armor, and stared at He Rentu angrily, "Sir He, what's ridiculous about?"
"I am laughing. Your Majesty has always maintained this posture and must feel very embarrassed. When I fight in the city, every time I look up, I can see Your Majesty standing here like a statue." He Rentu said.
"The crooked idea that Chen Zhihua came up with." Qin Feng snorted, "I am playing a morale-enhancing role here. This guy said that as long as I stand here and let the soldiers look up, they will definitely be able to move forward bravely, kill gods when they meet gods, and kill Buddha when they meet Buddha."
He Rentu nodded: "He was right. When I was in the city just now, I felt a worship feeling deep in my heart. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, did Your Majesty hear the sound of long live the whole city? The soldiers' fanaticism is far beyond your imagination. Moreover, this effect is dual. Our soldiers' morale has increased greatly because of Your Majesty, and the Qin people are extremely depressed. Once they enter and exit, the gap is huge."
Qin Feng laughed: "I hope it's only this time. I don't want to be here as a background for combat in the future and become the totem for everyone to fight. I'm more willing to fight with a knife."
He Rentu looked at Qin Feng meaningfully: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that you will only become the background of combat in the future. Perhaps, you will not even have the chance to step onto the battlefield until the decisive battle. War is only a part of governing the country, and it is not the most important part."
"Rich the country, strong soldiers. Rich country ranks ahead." Qin Feng nodded, "Why is Qi powerful? It is not because his army is invincible in the world, but because his wealth is invincible in the world. Compared with the bravery of Qin soldiers' combat, Qi ** team is really nothing, but Qi is the strongest empire in the world. I have thought about this a long time ago that war is just a continuation of politics. It is just a means to govern the country and pacify the world."
"Your Majesty has truly changed from the perspective of a general to the perspective of an emperor who is determined to be the world." He Rentu said with emotion: "A general only needs to focus on a certain war, but the emperor must be broad-minded and take overall control of the overall situation. The pattern is very different."
"I'm still adapting!" Qin Feng said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, are you still fighting forward? Lu must retreat to Fang County. If you go back, you will retreat directly to Qin." He Rentu pointed his oar ahead, and the last cavalry that the Qin army covered the retreat disappeared from his sight.
"Of course I have to fight, but I have to give the Qin people some time to react!" Qin Feng jumped off the ridge of the house, and He Rentu and Mahou also jumped down.
"The Qin people must think that I am at the end of my strength now, and because of the relationship between Qi, I definitely don't want to fight anymore. So they will definitely come to negotiate with me, and the war between Qi and us in Shayang will become their bargaining chip. They want to end this war without paying too much. How can I get them to do it?"
"But we really can't beat you anymore." He Rentu nodded: "They were not wrong. We are indeed at the end of our strength."
"It depends on who can hold on for a long time now." Qin Feng held the city wall and looked at the vast wilderness in the distance. "The Qin people must pay the price for their actions. I want them to understand this. Therefore, taking back Kaiping County is only one of my goals. Because Kaiping County is ours, it is just a matter to return to the original owner."
"What is the price your Majesty wants the Qin people to pay?"
"Qingzhou County!" Qin Feng spit out three words.
"War Horse!" Hearing the three words "Qingzhou County", He Rentu Shima reacted to Qin Feng's plan.
"War Horse!" Qin Feng's eyes shined, "He Division, I need a large number of cavalry to fight Qi State. Most of the territory of Qi State is flat and suitable for cavalry combat, so I must take Qingzhou and gather the resources of war horses in my own hands, so that from now on, I can build a cavalry that can sweep the world. My goal is to build a cavalry of 100,000 people."
He Rentu was shocked when he heard this number. One hundred thousand cavalry! Even the current Qi State is afraid that it would not be able to make up this number. One hundred thousand cavalry will become a black hole in finance, and countless money will be swallowed up.
Qin Feng laughed and pointed to the cavalry battalion that Chao was gathering. "Of course, 100,000 cavalry, of course, would not be all built like Yu Chao. Such cavalry, 20,000 to 30,000 is enough to be used as vanguards. He Division, the 100,000 cavalry in our institute, or can be called infantry riding horses."
"Infantry riding a horse?" He Rentu looked at Qin Feng in a daze.
"Yes, the infantry riding horses can also ride on horseback, but the requirements are not that high. He Shi, what I want is their strong mobile combat capabilities. Well, this is a big topic and I can't explain it clearly for a while, but I have been planning for a long time. As long as Qingzhou County gets it, it can be implemented. Therefore, I am determined to win Qingzhou County."
"Your Majesty Qi has already had a preliminary idea, so what about Chu State?" He Rentu asked suddenly.
Qin Feng laughed: "Shi He, I have invested so much money in Baoqing Port, what are you doing? Build warships and navy, but building a navy is more difficult than building a cavalry. Take your time, you have to eat food one by one. Chu State is still far away now!"
He Rentu nodded, and inadvertently, Qin Feng pointed out his general steps to unify the world. That is to swallow Qin first, then join forces with Chu to attack Qi, and finally put the target on Chu State.
Or maybe there is also the reason for the Empress here. Therefore, Qin Feng made the attack on Chu the last target.
"This battle has given me another general who can command the overall situation, which is one of the gains." Qin Feng smiled and looked at the Chen-word banner flying in the distance, "Chen Zhihua is indeed ashamed of Chen Ci's son. This time he commanded two battles, which are remarkable and quite like a general."
"In the future, there will be Zhang Xiaomao in the east and Chen Zhihua in the west. The two major battlefield leaders Wuyou, and this time Liu Xingwen will perform very well!" He Rentu said with a smile.
"Liu Xingwen can defend but not attack. He is far inferior to Chen Jialuo. Chen Jialuo!" Qin Feng hesitated for a moment.
"This person has ambition." He Rentu took the conversation.
"It's not a bad thing to have ambition, right?" Qin Feng laughed again in the blink of an eye: "Without destroying the big picture, I hope that my generals, my people-friendly officials, and my ministers of the ministry all have ambitions and only those who have ambitions can be motivated. I am not afraid of ambitious officials, but I am afraid of officials who occupy the pit and don't poop!"
"That's true!" He Rentu deeply agreed, "Ambition is also enterprising spirit. As long as what they want is not out of order, why should Your Majesty be stingy with rewards? If you dare to out of order, Your Majesty's sword can be unsheathed."
Qin Feng smiled and said nothing.
"This battle has reached its end. Next is a small fight. I can also relax. Master He will regain Fangshan. I will trouble you to follow Chen Zhihua. I have something else to do. Quan Yunbaba has to come from Yuejing City. The whole lot of things in the court will come soon."
"The Qin people will come to negotiate, so your Majesty must come forward, right?"
