The strongest Marquis in history

This kind of reasoning is tantamount to intimidating the thieves and bandits in the counties by arriving first before the people arrive.

Bandits, after all, are bandits.

It's a mob.

Once the news of Wang Qi spreads, people will inevitably panic, especially if it is propagated according to Zhuge Feng's ideas, it will have the effect of deterring the thieves and bandits in the counties.

Zhugefeng continued: "The third point is to arrange for people to pass the news and recruit people from the counties. Although Tao Dihu has occupied the counties, in fact, there must be big families in the counties. We recruit these people and encourage the people Surrender. In this way, there may be unexpected surprises, and someone will take the initiative to surrender."

Wang Qi nodded, looked at Xiao Qingzhi and the others, and asked, "What do you guys think?"

Xiao Qingzhi said: "My lord, I'm seconding you in a humble position."

Du Can said: "The lowly position is also seconded."

Zong Xixiang also said: "Second by a lowly position."

All were of the same opinion, and no one objected.

Today's counties are not strong.Under the current circumstances, it is not very difficult for Wang Qi to exterminate the bandits in the counties, so after listening to Zhuge Feng's suggestion, they all agreed.

Xiao Qingzhi stared at the map, and said: "Although we have received news that Tao Dihu is hiding in the counties. But when we go south from our place to the counties, there is a river and a dangerous mountain on the official road on the road. "

After a pause, Xiao Qingzhi said: "We must be cautious in these two places. When marching and fighting, you can win more with less, and more will win. We have the advantage now, but we can't be careless."

Wang Qi nodded and said: "Lieutenant Xiao's analysis is reasonable. He arranged sentries to inquire about the news in advance. At the same time, he lay in ambush at these two locations and watched carefully. Although Tao Dihu may not arrange soldiers to ambush, he should be more cautious. .”

Xiao Qingzhi said: "My lord is wise!"

Wang Qi nodded, and looked at the other counties of Langya Kingdom on the map.

After the army arrived at the counties and took them down, they had to continue going south, because there were still many counties in Langya, such as Ju County, Haiqu County, Linyi County, and even further south, there were Kaiyang County and Jiqiu County.

Among them, Kaiyang County is where the current state of Langya is located.

In the early years, the governing seat of Langya Kingdom was in Ju County.That is to say, after Zhao Zhen came to power, he moved the government of Langya Kingdom from Ju County to Kaiyang County, because Kaiyang was more prosperous.

This generation's Langya King, Zhao Shuhua, is Zhao Zhen's cousin, and the two had a very good relationship in their early years.

Zhao Shuhua was granted the title of king and was granted the title of King of Langya.

The government office was also moved from Ju County to Kaiyang County.

Wang Qi looked at the map and said slowly: "Langya Kingdom has a vast territory and involves many counties. I think we can follow my brother's suggestion and arrange people to infiltrate into other places when promoting in the counties. According to this strategy , promote us."

"Tell the people in the counties to surrender as soon as possible, and not to join forces with bandits."

"Otherwise, kill without mercy."

"In this way, when we take down the counties in a flash, the rest of the counties may be willing to join."

Wang Qi said: "The advantage of this is that it won't prevent us from taking over county by county step by step. Of course, there is also the most important reason, sneaking into people from all over the place and closely inquiring about news from all over the place."

"Prepare for us to go south."

"Governing a county is easy, but governing a country with jurisdiction over counties is more complicated."

Wang Qi said: "At this time, the intelligence system becomes quite important."

Zhuge Feng nodded and said: "I agree, it can be arranged at the same time."

Xiao Qingzhi said: "The humble official also agrees."

Du Can and Zong Xixiang also expressed their views and agreed.

Wang Qidao: "Since there is no objection, I will leave the matter to my elder brother to arrange it. Arrangements will be made today, and there should be no delay."

"Yes!"

Zhuge Feng responded immediately.

Wang Qi arranged things well, the time had almost passed, and it was time to set off again.

The army set off and continued on their way.

Along the way, Zhuge Feng was making arrangements, arranging all the things that needed to be arranged properly one by one.One by one, the outposts affiliated to Wang Qi continued to radiate from Nanyang County to various parts of Langya Kingdom.

Chapter 328 Retreat Without Fighting

Counties, in the county seat.

County government hall.

Tao Dihu was dressed in a black robe, a jade belt around his waist, and boots on his feet, sitting cross-legged directly above.

The look on his face was a little panicked.

Wang Qi led troops from Nanyang to attack the various counties. Tao Dihu panicked.According to the news outside, the number of troops led by Wang Qi was 5.

This statistic scared Tao Dihu.

You know, Tao Dihu's real strength is only more than 4000 and nearly 5000 people.

With such a force, it would definitely not have any advantage in a war with Wang Qi.

Tao Dihu sat cross-legged, but he felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles, his buttocks seemed to have thorns, and he couldn't sit still.After sitting for a while, Tao Dihu stood up, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth in the hall.

Tao Dihu has been paying attention to the situation and Wang Qi's movements.

After a while, there was news that Wang Qi was closer to the counties, which made Tao Dihu even more panicked and worried about his situation.

"Step! Step!!"

Suddenly, footsteps came from outside.

A well-built general with a helmet on his head hurried in.

The general is thirty years away, and his name is Tong Guan.

It is Tao Dihu's subordinate.

Tong Guan and Tao Dihu are brothers, both came from the same place, and they have a very good relationship.That's why Tong Guan became Tao Dihu's No. [-] man.

"Commander!"

After Tong Guan stood still, he cupped his fists and saluted.

Tao Dihu nodded, waved his hands and said: "There is no need to be formal, tell me, where is Wang Qi's army now?"

Tong Guan replied: "Wang Qi is still half a day away from our county seat."

"hiss!"

When Tao Dihu heard this, his expression changed slightly.

There was more panic in his eyes.

half a day.

Wang Qi came too fast.

It only took Wang Qi to send troops from Nanyang County, and it was only half a day away from the county seat.According to this time estimate, Wang Qi has already entered the border of various counties.

Tao Dihu was anxious, the closer Wang Qi got, the less time was left for him.With his hands behind his back, Tao Dihu continued to pace back and forth, thinking about countermeasures.

Under the current situation, he is very worried.

Fear of being disadvantaged.

Tong Guan said in a deep voice, "Commander, there is another piece of bad news."

Tao Dihu said: "If you have any news, make it clear at once, don't hesitate."

Tong Guan's expression was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Suddenly, news spread everywhere in the counties, saying that Wang Qi's army strength is innumerable, at least 5 to [-], or even more."

"According to our scouts, Wang Qi's actual strength is only 1."

"That's why Wang Qi's military strength rumored outside is Wang Qi's deliberate bluff."

"It's just that we know it's false. The problem is, we know it's false, but we can't change it. Because many people have already believed that Wang Qi's army has tens of thousands of people."

"In the whole city, people's hearts are floating."

Tong Guan sighed and continued: "Right now, the number of Wang Qi's troops is spreading everywhere in the city. This news alone has stirred up the situation and made many people think."

Tao Dihu frowned suddenly, and said, "I already knew about this, but I didn't expect that this news would have such a big impact. You mean, someone in the city might deal with us?"

Tong Guan said: "Commander, he will not deal with us, but he will definitely deal with us."

Tao Dihu asked, "Why?"

Tong Guan explained: "The reason is very simple. When Wang Qi's people spread the news, they also spread two pieces of news. First, there are three grandmasters in Wang Qi's army."

"Wang Qi, Zhuge Feng, and Xiao Qingzhi are all masters at the Grand Master Realm."

"Wang Qi and Zhuge Feng are masters. Everyone knows it. After all, looking at Wang Qi's news, he and Zhuge Feng fought against barbarians when they were in Chang'an, so they are masters."

"Xiao Qingzhi, I don't have any news. I don't know for the time being. I only know that he is the county lieutenant of Nanyang."

Tong Guan's eyes were sharp, and he continued: "Commander, we occupy the counties. We have some strength, but not strong enough. Moreover, the walls of the counties are not tall and thick enough."

"Just three masters, Wang Qi, Zhuge Feng and Xiao Qingzhi, can break through our defense line."

"Three people are enough to lead troops to break through the city."

"It is almost impossible for us to defend the cities of the counties."

"In addition, Wang Qi is still spreading the news. He is the newly appointed Prime Minister of the Langya Kingdom. He has an order saying that those who surrender will not be killed, but recruit people to surrender. Under such circumstances, our situation is even more unfavorable."

Tong Guan said: "I'm sure that as the news spreads, some people in the city will deal with us in order to please Wang Qi. And we occupy the counties, and it is impossible to resist Wang Qi."

"Ugh……"

Tao Dihu sighed, and said: "Wang Qi is in Nanyang well, what is he doing to lead the army south? Damn it. We just occupied the counties, and it's only been a month or so. It's too unfair to us."

Tong Guan said in a deep voice: "It's unfair, but there is no way. Wang Qi has become the Prime Minister of Langya Kingdom, and he will definitely sweep the entire Langya Kingdom and control Langya Kingdom in his hands."

Tao Dihu said: "Brother, you have a very strong idea. It was also your idea to seize the county seat. Tell me, what should we do now?"

Tong Guan said: "There are two choices."

Tao Dihu asked, "Which two choices?"

Tong Guan replied in a deep voice: "Commander, my suggestion is based on the fact that the counties cannot be defended. Therefore, the situation of defending the counties is not a suggestion."

"Defending to the death is a situation that must die."

"My first suggestion is to evacuate immediately. Let's go directly south and go to the other county leaders. Anyway, the commander has nearly [-] elite soldiers. Wang Qi is now going south, and the counties are worried, and everyone is worried."

"We went to defect and strengthened the strength of the counties. Normally, these people would not accept us. They must think that we have ulterior motives and worry that we will deal with them."

"Now that Wang Qi is here, they won't doubt it and will accept us."

"After all, we have to count on us to deal with Wang Qi."

Tong Guan said in a deep voice, "So, this is my first suggestion."

Tao Dihu said, "What about the second suggestion?"

Tong Guan said: "The second suggestion is to surrender directly to Wang Qi. Wang Qi has been recruiting talents. I heard that he once recruited bandits from Qingzhou. We should defect and Wang Qi will accept it."

Tao Dihu shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "You can't go to Wang Qi, absolutely not. For people like Wang Qi, if we go to go for refuge, we're just asking for trouble."

After a pause, Tao Dihu continued: "Brother, I'm not reconciled. We managed to gain a foothold in the counties, and finally got our foundation, but we have to throw it away and go wandering again. I'm not reconciled. "

Tong Guan fell silent.

Not reconciled.

is that useful?

This is impossible, who will make Wang Qi stronger?

Tong Guan took a deep breath, paused for a while, and said in relief: "Commander, we have no choice now. Once we are stranded in the county, it will be difficult to evacuate when Wang Qi's army arrives."

Tao Dihu stopped, kicked over the desk in front of him, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, it's really hateful."

Tong Guan stood silently below.

Wait quietly.

He knew that Tao Dihu was not an indecisive person. Although he was venting, he would regain his composure after a while.

Tao Dihu vented, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, let's evacuate and go to Ju County. Coincidentally, I know the leader of Ju County. After we go to Ju County, we can still gain a foothold."
