The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 3083 Weird War

A while ago, when Fang Yun was away, Qing State had been playing tricks in secret. With new and old hatreds added together, Zhang Poyue wanted to take revenge again.

Zhang Poyue's confidant suddenly said: "General, you said before that you had to be promoted to a great scholar in advance for the sake of Jing State. It was too hasty and the foundation was unstable. You are trying to make up for it. You also said that you can successfully regain the position of a great scholar by lowering your position and asking a half-saint to help. If you lower your position now, and wait until the battle to seize the state is completed, and then ask Fang Sheng to help, it will not be considered as interfering in the battle to seize the state. Isn't it the best of both worlds? This matter is a piece of cake for Fang Sheng, and it is impossible for him to disagree. Even if he disagrees, you can still make a fuss... cough cough, it's a stubborn pestering, and it will definitely work."

Zhang Poyue slapped his thigh and shouted: "Just do it, fuck him!"

"I advise you to wait and don't rush. Once those new mechanisms are shipped, you may be demoted in vain." The general of the auxiliary repairman said.

"Is the new mechanism really that powerful?"

"Of course!"

In the Holy Hall.

Fang Yun's real body slowly opened his eyes, and thunder flashed in front of him, the void shattered, and the sky shook for thousands of miles, and then returned to calm.

Mi Fengdian and Feng Shu's clones also opened their eyes.

"Fang Sheng, this battle may be very difficult." Mi Fengdian frowned slightly.

Feng Shu beside him also nodded gently.

The two knew very well that the reason why Jingguo could now defeat Qingguo was Fang Yun.

No matter how strong Li Wenying and Zhang Poyue were, they could only barely resist Qingguo.

What's more, both of them were great scholars and could not participate in the war.

In terms of young talents under Hanlin, Jingguo was no less than Qingguo, but in terms of Hanlin and university scholars, Qingguo still had a huge advantage.

If the great scholars could participate in the war, the two saints would not worry, after all, Qingguo's miscellaneous great scholars had basically suffered heavy losses during the last suppression of the Holy Dao, and they have not been able to recover so far.

"It doesn't matter. If we win, Jing can make further progress. If we lose, Jing will learn a lesson and learn from our shame. What's more, the demon barbarians have temporarily given up Liangjie Mountain, and they will surely come back one day. The human race cannot slack off. Let's treat this battle to seize the state as training. It's just difficult for the Xun family."

The two incarnations of the saints looked at each other with a smile.

After the Holy Academy officially announced the start of the battle to seize the state, the courts of the two countries began to prepare for war.

The situation on the border between Xiangzhou and Xizhou suddenly changed, and many people evacuated the border cities with their families.

On March 26, the new Qing King ascended the throne and personally swore an oath.

The Qing army began to gather rapidly towards Xizhou.

However, in just a few days, the five million Qing army was stationed in Xizhou.

And Xiangzhou only had a million troops, which was far from comparable to the Qing army.

In the early morning of April 3, four million Qing troops were divided into four routes and directly captured four of the ten cities in Taihe Prefecture.

After the million-strong army arrived at their respective target cities, they were stunned.

The city gates were wide open, and the people and officials in the city lined up to welcome them, singing and dancing, with delicious food piled up, as if they were welcoming their relatives.

Except for the fake smiles of the people, the expressions of all Xiangzhou officials were extremely sincere.

"Empty City Strategy?"

All the people of Qing suspected that this was a strategy of Jing. The four million-strong army dared not enter the city, but waited for news from the capital.

It took a whole day before the four armies sent their teams into the city and occupied the four cities. The rest of the soldiers would set up camp outside the city.

That night, the whole army did not sleep!

According to the previous plan, this was a tough battle, but in the end, the four cities were easily taken without firing a single arrow.

The whole army of Qing was guilty.

The court of Qing was also guilty.

The Qing army asked the officials of the four cities, and their answers were extremely consistent. This was the order of the Jing cabinet, and they knew nothing.

Without resistance, the Qing army dared not kill anyone. If they dared to move one person, the whole human race could drown them with a spit.

The Qing army didn't know Jing's intentions, so they didn't dare to move forward rashly. They stayed in four cities for seven days before continuing to march towards Taihe Prefecture.

After all, the supply, logistics, mobilization, and stationing of four million troops are not a simple matter. Any problem is most likely to affect the entire army.

From the sky, the four million-strong army marched along the official road to the next city like a long dragon.

Every soldier of the Qing country was scared.

Since entering the territory of Xiangzhou, no enemy was seen, and everyone who saw them welcomed them happily as if they were their own family.

The million-strong army continued to march and soon arrived at the next city.

What made all the soldiers of the Qing country unbelievable was that the scene they encountered in the previous city happened again.

The city gates in front of them were wide open, and officials and people lined the streets to welcome them, looking like they were welcoming the arrival of the savior, as if they had lived in dire straits before.

The more this happened, the more anxious the people of Qing became. The more this happened, the less they dared to destroy the city. Except for a few people who stayed in the city, most of the soldiers were stationed outside the city and never entered the city.

That night, a large number of articles praising the soldiers of Qing appeared on the discussion board.

The scholars of the eight cities that were "recovered" kept praising the people of Qing, praising the Qing army for not violating any rules, obeying orders, and being a model for the human race.

The scholars from all over the country already knew about this most bizarre war in the history of the human race. Seeing those scholars constantly praising the people of Qing, they were confused.

The confusion over the heads of the people of Qing was even heavier.

They are still confused to this day.

The more the scholars who occupied the city praised them, the less they dared to do anything. They were obviously a group of ferocious soldiers, but when they arrived in Xiangzhou, they all became gentlemen.

Every soldier of Qing State suspected that this was a huge trap. As long as there was a problem in the city they occupied, the entire Qing State would face verbal criticism.

In order to avoid being attacked by public opinion, the Qing army issued strict orders in various places, resolutely not letting anyone die in each city, and must serve the residents of each city well!

So, military scholars from all over the country began to deduce on the discussion board, trying to deduce the real purpose of Jing State.

Soon, some deductions became a consensus, for example, Jing State was extending Qing State's supply line. After all, maintaining the logistical support required for a four-million-strong army was an arduous task, even more difficult than conquering cities.

For example, Jing State knew that it could not win using normal methods, so it was looking for Qing State's flaws. Once the flaws were found, they would be unexpected and hit the snake at its weakest point.

Others speculated that Jing State was preparing a powerful force, just waiting for Qing State to go deep into the hinterland, and then it would catch it all in one fell swoop.

Some people even speculated that Jing would definitely use Xiangzhou's developed waterways. Once Qing's front line was extended, Jing's people would attack on all fronts, relying on the advantages of waterways to cut off Qing's army and annihilate them.

No matter what deduction is made, it cannot be concealed.

This was the most frightening war in Qing's history.

Many soldiers often had nightmares at night.

Obviously, no battle was fought, and no one died. On the tenth day of April, the Qing army was actually sleepwalking, causing patrolling soldiers to mistakenly think that Jing attacked, resulting in chaos in the entire army. Fortunately, the university scholar came forward to suppress it, so that no disaster occurred.

However, Qing made a big joke because of this.

Four million troops were dispatched, but no Jing people were killed, but they accidentally killed seven people in the bombing of the camp, and more than a hundred people were injured.
