The Jagged Empire of Daqin

"Don't scold the Qi Empire, now it's time to think about what to do. First, 50 Jin warriors broke down at Yangguan, then there was banditry in the east of the river, and now it is the Qi empire who attacked Nanyang to attack Nanyang, and the Qin Empire's troops at Xiguan. Mobilization, I suspect that the Qin Empire probably wants to regain lost ground!"

"Qin Empire is planning to break the can and smash it, and fight us desperately!"

"If the Qin Empire takes back Nanyang County, it will be able to gain a large number of people and money, which can make up for the loss of the Qin Empire in Yangguan, and even grow a little bit. On the other hand, I lost a county in Dajin, plus the previous losses, alas ~"

As soon as the scout's words came out, it was as if a bomb had been dropped in the ears of civil and military officials in the court. They were stunned at first, and then began to kick their feet and cursed to start a discussion. Dozens of ministers argued endlessly, making the entire Chengtian Palace noisy. Just like entering a market, the noise can overturn the eaves.

"Shut up for me!"

Jin Emperor Min Ziying let out an angry cry, his face so gloomy that water dripped out.

It was already annoying, but when the officials quarreled, it became even more annoying!

Hearing the scolding, the civil and military officials glanced at Jin Emperor Min Ziying's face, seeing that his face was extremely ugly, they immediately shut their mouths obediently, and chose to remain silent. Chengtian Palace, which was extremely noisy one second, became quiet the next.

"I want you so that you can make suggestions for me, not just to raise you here to quarrel. Who of you has a way, who has a way to deal with the current situation?" Jin Emperor Min Ziying suppressed his anger and tried his best to control his emotions, but The tone was still low and terrifying, making people shudder.

After the words fell, many ministers did not dare to take a breath, because they had no way to deal with it. There were really too many things and too messy, and they needed some tidying up before coming up with a solution.

Seeing that the ministers became dumb at this critical moment, Jin Emperor Min Ziying almost exploded in anger. He couldn't help standing up and pointing at many ministers and yelling: "A bunch of trash, what use do I want you to be? All of you have become dumb, say it yourself, what is the use of you, a bunch of idiots, trash, bastards!"

The civil and military officials couldn't help lowering their heads, showing shame.

"Humph!"

Jin Emperor Min Ziyan let out a cold snort, his nostrils exhaled heavily, his chest heaved violently, and his face became paler and paler.

At this moment, Jin Emperor Min Ziying suddenly regretted sending Qiu Yixiao away, Qiu Yixiao left, there were so many civil and military ministers in the Manchu Dynasty, and there was not a single person who was worthy of a great position or a counselor.

PS: "Please make a full reservation, ask for a monthly ticket, and ask for a recommendation ticket, I hope His Majesty can give it to you!"

Chapter 193 Devil's Nineteen Riders!

"Retreat!"

Jin Emperor Min Ziying shook his sleeves angrily, and left Chengtian Hall angrily. When all civil and military officials saw that Jin Emperor Min Ziying left just like that, they were a little anxious and couldn't think of a way. How could they leave?But none of the ministers stood up to stop Jin Emperor Min Ziying, because he stopped him and had no plan to speak out, and then Jin Emperor Min Ziying would be furious again.

Just like that, the ministers watched helplessly as Jin Emperor Min Ziying disappeared from sight.

"Ah~"

"What's the matter!"

"Everyone, go back and think about what to do. If you haven't figured out a solution all day, I can't sleep at night!"

"It's difficult, there are too many things to do, I hope that the prime minister can find a way!"

"Yes!"

The civil and military officials lamented for a while, and their expressions were full of worry. It can be said that they were extremely worried and distressed.

What they didn't know was that Qiu Yixiao, whom they had pinned their hopes on, now had a sad and worried expression on his face.

Hadong County, at the foot of Mang Mountain!

Mangshan Mountain is located between Hebei County in Hedong County and east of Zuobeiping County. The Jin army camp is at the foot of Mangshan Mountain. Relying on the concave terrain of Mangshan Mountain, it can advance and retreat and defend without worrying about surprise attacks on the left and right flanks.

In the handsome tent, Qiu Yixiao was dressed in military uniform, looking at the terrain of the sand table with a sad face.

It was only [-] days since Qiu Yixiao left Jinling. He was on the go, day and night. He ran away and killed more than a dozen horses. In the end, it only took six days to reach the vicinity of Mount Mang. Originally, he wanted to continue on his way, but But I saw a large number of rout soldiers on the road, and I was shocked if I didn't ask.

Knowing that the front line was defeated, Qiu Yixiao was so frightened that he almost fainted, but fortunately, he was extremely determined. Relying on the [-] Imperial Forest Army given to him by Jin Emperor Min Ziying, he quickly gathered [-] rout troops, and with some means, he once again brought together the scattered troops. The broken soldiers twisted into a rope.

After doing all this, Qiu Yixiao knew that it was impossible to destroy Qin. The next step was to garrison the city to prevent Da Qin from going out and regain the lost land. In order to avoid banditry, a group of bandits also occupied Zuo Beiping County.

At the beginning, he didn't pay much attention to the banditry, he just thought it was a group of mobs taking the opportunity to loot, so he didn't send anyone to investigate the situation of the bandits, but sent an army of 3000 people to quell the banditry. They came back, only a hundred or so came back, and the rest were either captured or beheaded.

The rout soldiers who came back said that there were nearly 6000 to [-] bandits in this group. Although the equipment was poor and they looked like a mob, each of them had a good fighting capacity. An army of [-] Jin troops could not last for half an hour and was beaten. collapse.

After Qiu Yisheng heard this, he was shocked again, and once again sent [-] troops to suppress. This time, the scale of the bandits became stronger, because many bandits wore fine armor and weapons from the Jin army. This time the bandits did not Choose to fight head-on, choose to stick to the city.

The Jin army was not pleased and withdrew again, but this time it failed. Qiu Yisheng finally figured out the situation of the bandits. The nineteenth ride known as the Devil joined the horse boldly.

After the Devil's Nineteenth Cavalry joined Ma Daudao, the Fuqin Army was formally established, and took the initiative to attack the officers and soldiers. I don't know what magic power the Devil's Nineteenth Cavalry has. It forced the bandits to fight so hard that even the officers and soldiers could not beat them. From existence to grandeur, it took just a few days.

Knowing that the Fuqin army was in danger, Qiu Yixiao immediately dispatched scouts to go back to Jinling day and night, and spread the news to the court. Afterwards, Qiu Yixiao deployed his troops and prepared to take Zuo Beiping down. Unexpectedly, the army was ambushed halfway. up!

Even when he was beaten to death, he never thought that a group of mobs would dare to ambush the regular army of the Jin Empire halfway and on a flat road, so they were caught off guard and lost 5000 soldiers. The loss was small and the morale was the biggest. .

The soldiers and horses in Qiu Yixiao's hands are all soldiers who have experienced consecutive defeats. They lost three times in Yangguan and three times in fighting bandits, which made some soldiers of the Jin army doubt their lives.

This is why Qiu Yisheng is so sad.

"The Devil's Nineteen Riders..."

Qiu Yixiao muttered to himself worriedly, the ambush had shown him how powerful the Nineteen Devil Riders were. They were dressed in the dark blue armor of the Jin Army, riding tall war horses, holding a gun in one hand and a sword in the other, opening and closing , horsemanship, spearmanship, and swordsmanship are all excellent, and you can easily switch between strong bows.

Qiu Yixiao understands that the reason why the banditry is so serious is because of the Devil Nineteen Riders. If the Devil Nineteen Riders can be wiped out, this group of bandits will be vulnerable. ?

This is a problem, a very big problem.

"Master Prime Minister, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to my great advancement!"

Standing beside Qiu Yixiao, Xue Qi also looked anxious and worried. Xue Qi was a marquis of the Imperial Forest Army, not a general in the army, nor a confidant of Qiu Yixiao, but simply sent by Emperor Jin to protect Qiu Yixiao.

"Alas~" Qiu Yixiao sighed softly, "Don't you know that the current situation is not good for our Great Jin? Originally, our Great Jin failed to attack Qin and was at a low point. Now that the Qi Empire has intervened again, it can be said that our Great Jin It makes things worse, plus Zuo Beiping's banditry, alas, I really don't want to say more, the more I talk, the more powerless I feel!"

"I heard that the Qin Empire mobilized Xiguan soldiers and horses and divided them into two routes. I guess one of them is going to Nanyang. Now that the Nanyang soldiers and horses are restrained by the Qi army, I am afraid that the Qin Empire will take back half of the territory of Nanyang County!" Xue Qi couldn't bear it again. Live said.

"Haha!" Qiu Yixiao shook his head and gave a wry smile, then took a deep breath and said, "What guess, what fear, the Qin Empire wants to take back Nanyang County, half of Nanyang County's territory is taken by the Qin Empire is inevitable, and the truth is Be sure, the other soldiers and horses from Xiguan will definitely rush to Yangguan, intending to go east and take back the three counties of Hedong, Hebei, and Huainan!"

As soon as Qiu Yixiao said this, Xue Qi's mood fell to the bottom, and immediately frowning, he asked in a worried tone: "If the Qin army goes east, can the prime minister be sure to beat the Qin army back to the pass?"

Qiu Yixiao's face became bitter again, and he said helplessly: "The Qin army in Xiguan is the Yang family army. The Yang family army is well-known and has been established for a hundred years. Call Yang Jiajun!"

PS: "Please recommend a ticket, ask for a monthly ticket, and ask for a full order, thank you for your support, the ministers must work hard to code, and benefit the people of Daqin!"

Chapter 194 Dilemma

"How strong the elite king's division is, we can see the depth of its strength from Qin general Duyi leading 30 victorious troops to wipe out my [-] Jin army eight years ago. Although the victorious army attacked at night in that battle, our army has no Be on guard, coupled with the sudden death of Hussar General Li Jiang from an old illness, but you can still see the ferocity of the Ever Victorious Army. It took a lot of time to conquer!"

"We have paid such a heavy price for destroying an isolated and helpless ever-victorious army, so how much price should we pay to drive another elite army back to the pass? Let alone beat them back to the pass, resist them It's all choking, let alone Yang Jiajun, we are all worried about this banditry now!"

Qiu Yisheng felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he suffered no less blows than Jin Emperor Min Ziying.

Xue Qi's face became ugly, and he felt more and more heavy in his heart. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Qiu Yi with expectant eyes and smiled, "Does the Prime Minister have any countermeasures?"

Xue Qi's only hope is for Qiu Yixiao, if Qiu Yixiao has no choice, then...

Qiu Yixiao narrowed his eyes, and the wrinkles on his brows protruded like hills. He fell into deep thought for a short time. After an unknown period of time, a haze flashed in Qiu Yixiao's eyes. He stared intently at the sand table and said in a deep voice: "The current situation, They are the Qi Empire, the Qin Empire, the Great Jin Empire, and Ma Daudao. First of all, the Qi Empire contained [-] soldiers and horses from the Jin Dynasty in the east of Nanyang. This is a battlefield. The Qin Empire attacked the west of Nanyang with troops and horses. On the battlefield, the Qin Empire is about to go east and attack Hedong, and this is the preparation for three battlefields, while our Great Jin Empire and Ma Daudao's Qin army are located in Mang Mountain and Zuobeiping, which are four battlefields!"

While Qiu Yixiao was talking, he planted small flags on the sand table to distinguish the positions of the four forces. The more Xue Qi listened, the more serious he became. To sum up what Qiu Yixiao said, it was that Dajin was isolated and helpless, being beaten by three sides.

"Now our Great Jin Empire has a small number of generals, and we cannot dispatch troops to every battlefield. Looking at this situation, we know that our Great Jin has entered a dead end. This battle will undoubtedly be lost, but..."

Xue Qi's face was ashen when he heard the previous words, but when he heard the last but word, he regained his energy in an instant, Ke Qiu smiled and stopped talking, making Xue Qi ask impatiently: "Master Prime Minister, but what? , you hurry up and say it!"

Chou Yixiao clasped his hands behind his back and wandered around the sand table, turning round and round. Judging from the shrunken cheeks on his face, he was struggling and hesitating. He didn't know whether this method was feasible or not. Xue Qi became more and more anxious as he looked at it. , as if a fire was on his head, just waiting for Qiu Yixiao to pour a basin of water on him.

"It's actually not difficult to break through the death realm. You only need to pull another force to intervene in the war between Qin, Qi and Jin. Of course, this fifth force must be on the opposite side of Qin Qi to be effective!" Qiu Yixiao wandered around. Analyze patiently.

"The fifth force? Where does the fifth force come from now?" Xue Qi was dumbfounded for a while, unable to understand what Qiu Yixiao was talking about.

Qiu Yixiao stopped and took a deep breath, "Qiang!"

Qiang?

Xue Qi was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, "Yes, the Qiang people, if the Qiang people seize the Guanxi Pass, the Qin Empire will definitely send troops back to defend, and the pressure on our Great Jin will definitely be reduced. In this way, the state of death will be broken Yes, haha!"

Xue Qi couldn't help laughing, feeling relaxed all over.

The prime minister deserves to be the prime minister, amazing!

"Don't be too happy!"

Just as Xue Qi was happy, Qiu Yixiao poured cold water on him. Not only did the cold water fail to extinguish the fire on his head, but it made the fire even hotter. color.

"Why?" Xue Qi couldn't help asking.

"The Qiang people, the barbarians, are not educated by us in Kyushu. They are bloodthirsty. All the countries in Kyushu are in conflict. There is an unwritten rule in the mainland of Kyushu. Whoever colludes with other races will be attacked by all the countries of Kyushu until the country is destroyed. You say Can Da Jin afford this risk?" Qiu Yixiao said in a low tone, with a dignified and helpless expression.

"This..." Xue Qi was at a loss for words for a moment, not daring to continue.

"Ah~"

Qiu Yixiao closed his eyes and sighed deeply, feeling powerless.

Obviously there is a way to break through the situation, but it can't be used. He really knows that he can do it but can't do it. The situation has reached this point. Qiu Yixiao really has no way to deal with it. He can't figure out how things have developed to this point.

50 troops! The 50 army just didn't take down a mere Yangguan, it's fine if they can't take it, as long as they have soldiers and horses in hand, but they just beat the 50 to only [-], how the hell did they fight!

If Li Qi was still there, he would have to be killed alive.

Qiu Yixiao slowly walked back to the commander-in-chief, sat down gently on the handsome chair with a layer of tiger skin, pondered for a moment, then looked at Xue Qi with a blank expression and said: "Send a message to Your Majesty, the truth suggests that the troops be withdrawn. Go out of Wu and enter the pass, and return the land of Qin to the Qin Empire..."

"Just give up like this?" Xue Qi gritted his teeth, showing a strong unwillingness.

Everyone in Jin knows that it is not easy for the Jin Dynasty to seize the four counties of Hebei, Hedong, Huainan, and Nanyang. It was won at the cost of 30 troops, and this time it was paid at the cost of 50 troops. 80 [-].

In addition to these, there is also the manpower and material resources contributed by the Jin Empire in these four counties. The Qin people in the four counties are so rich, but it is all the credit of the Jin Empire. Now, who would be willing to give this credit away?Who can be willing?

"Let's just listen to the truth!" Qiu Yi smiled calmly, unable to observe his thoughts from his expression.

"Oh?" Xue Qi's eyes lit up, feeling that this matter was not as simple as it said on the surface.

"The Qi Empire attacked Nanyang County with the intention of devouring the fat of Nanyang, but Nanyang belongs to the Qin Empire. Do you think the Qin Empire will just watch Nanyang County be taken away by the Qi Empire? Observe the behavior of the Emperor Qin according to the facts , you can be sure that Emperor Qin is definitely not the kind of emperor who will be slaughtered by others!"

"In this way, there will be a conflict of interest between the two. Interests can make countless people jealous and forget all the rules. The Qi Empire wants to swallow Nanyang, and the Qin Empire wants to regain lost land. Small-scale conflicts will inevitably break out when they come and go. , as long as there is a conflict, the Qin Qi alliance is a piece of paper!"

"Xue Qi, tell me, if Qi Qin fights, who will benefit the most? Is this game broken?" Qiu Yixiao said with a half-smile. Having said that, this matter is not hopeless, and there is still life. hope.

"The prime minister is the prime minister, and the villain admires it!" Xue Qi saluted Qiu Yixiao with a rather excited expression, and the admiration for Qiu Yixiao in his heart was like a surging river flooding, out of control!

Chapter 195 Returning to the Qin Army!

"However, the villain is unclear about something, can the Prime Minister answer it?" Xue Qi suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help asking immediately.

Qiu Yixiao nodded, and said with a hint of a smile, "Say it!"

"Your Excellency Prime Minister has countermeasures, why did you withdraw from Wujin Pass? Isn't this superfluous?" Xue Qi said with a deep sense of incomprehension.

Wujin Pass, the most important pass in the Great Qin Dynasty, if the Princess Chang hadn't planned it in the Great Qin Dynasty, the possibility of the Great Jin Empire capturing Wujin would be almost zero.

"It's too much?" Qiu Yixiao had a look of helplessness on his face, after all, Xue Qi was just a mere military marshal with limited understanding and thinking, so he couldn't figure out his intentions from his words.

"Don't you..."

Qiu Yixiao suddenly interrupted: "Of course not, our Jin army's withdrawal from Wujin Pass is the most critical step. Now the Qi army, Qin army, and Qin army's targets are all in our Jin army, and our Jin army will not withdraw for a day." On the battlefield, they will scramble to attack our Jin army!"

"But if my Jin army withdraws from the battlefield, there will be only three of them left on the battlefield. We were their common enemy before, but we left, who will they fight? They have no target, so they start to expand the results of the battle, attacking cities everywhere. , Qin and Qi will inevitably break out conflicts for Nanyang!"

"It's not just the conflict between Qin and Qi, the Qin army will also confront the Fuqin army. You may say that Ma Daudao is under the banner of restoring Qin soil, and will not clash with the regular army of the Qin Empire. Will join the Qin army!"

"The truth here can tell you clearly that Ma Bold will definitely join the Qin army, but Ma Bold will definitely put forward conditions first, such as letting the Qin Empire court appoint him a county guard or some general or even a prince, and the Qin Empire court officials Most of them come from famous families, they think of themselves as noble, and they definitely look down on Ma Bold, the bandit leader, at most, they see him doing a little bit for Daqin, making him a low-level general!"

"Ma Boldly has more than ten thousand troops, and it is the time when he is full of vigor and power. Do you think Ma Boldly will be willing to be a miscellaneous general? After all, it is still a conflict of interest. The Qin people under Ma Boldly's command are all hot-headed young people. It is extremely easy to be deceived, and when Ma boldly shouts a few words about the court's incompetence and so on to slander the Qin court, it will arouse the people of Qin to oppose the court!"

"At that time, chaos will gradually arise in the land of Great Qin, and our Great Jin will be able to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and reap the benefits of the fishermen. The four counties of Nanyang, Hedong, Huainan, and Hebei will only be lost and regained. Opportunity to break through the Yang Pass, and the soldiers are approaching the city of Xianyang!"

These words went straight into Xue Qi's heart, which shocked Xue Qi into a heavenly man. He looked at Qiu Yixiao with eyes filled with admiration and sincerity, and immediately couldn't help but knelt down on the ground and shouted: "The prime minister is wise, I am a great Jin!" With a prime minister, you can reach a million soldiers, it is truly a heaven and a man!"

"Haha, I only know a little bit about the truth, and I can't be regarded as a heavenly man, haha!" Qiu Yixiao seemed to have returned to the high-spirited time a few years ago, with a long-lost bright smile on his face.

"But the villain still has something to worry about, please show me, Your Excellency the Prime Minister!" Xue Qi's expression changed, and there was worry on his face.

Although there was no emotion on Qiu Yixiao's face, he called him an idiot in his heart, and chatting with people who don't have enough brains is a struggle.

"Let's talk!" Qiu Yixiao smiled, his eyes narrowed, trying to suppress his anger.

Xue Qi didn't realize that the object of his admiration was getting impatient at all. He only heard Xue Qi say: "Master Prime Minister, Wujin is the number one pass in the Great Qin Dynasty, and it is also famous in the mainland of Kyushu. If our army retreats to the Wujin pass, the Qin army will garrison it Wu Jin, how should we take back Wu Jin at that time, you must know that we don't have many soldiers and horses to use in Da Jin."

"You're a very good question!" Qiu Yixiao had an appreciative smile on his face, gently stroking his beard, "Let me tell you the truth, Qin Qima boldly broke out with the three forces, how many soldiers and horses can the Qin Empire have?" Garrisoning Wujin? We don’t have many soldiers in the Jin Dynasty, and so does the Qin Empire, and it’s not even as good as us!”

"The Qin Empire won't be able to defeat Wujin in a short time. He has to deal with the Qi Empire and Ma Daudao before he can enter Wujin. After the Qin Empire solves these problems, we will take back Wujin before the Qin Empire, and then confront the Qin Empire. It is the highest realm to reap the benefits of being a fisherman!"

"Xue Qi, if you have the opportunity to lead troops to conquer in the future, you have to remember that fighting is not only based on military strength, morale, and combat effectiveness, but the most important thing is this..." Qiu Yixiao pointed to his forehead, and then pressed Then he said: "The highest state of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting, and to win the greatest victory with the least damage. If you do this, you will become a famous general who will make the enemy fearful! "

After hearing these words, Xue Qi finally understood that he felt that he had learned a lot, and immediately bowed down to salute with great respect: "Thank you for your teaching, Prime Minister, I will definitely study hard, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will lead the Great Jin The iron cavalry swept across Kyushu, what a great Jin Empire!"

"Haha, very good. Truth is very pleased to have this kind of intention. Truth is optimistic about you, haha!" Qiu Yixiao stroked his beard with a blushing face and smiled gratifiedly, but he slandered in his heart. Want to lead the army, forget it, Da Jin doesn't want to receive the bad news that the whole army has been wiped out.

"Hahaha!" Xue Qi heard that Qiu Yixiao was optimistic about himself, and immediately laughed into a fat man of two hundred catties. He couldn't help but start to daydream, and a picture suddenly appeared in his mind. In Kyushu, the overlord of Kyushu, the Great Wei Empire, was beaten so badly that the emperors of other countries knelt at his feet and begged for mercy.
