The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 3084: Soldiers approach Yueyang City!

The discussion list became lively again, and the entire human race laughed at Qingguo.

"Congratulations to Jingguo, who won the first battle without sending a single soldier!"

"The literati of Jingguo are so terrifying, they took the enemy's head thousands of miles away and in the midst of thousands of troops!"

"Qingguo tried their best! After all, occupying a city is a strenuous job!"

"I don't understand why you laugh at Qingguo, they have occupied eight cities! They are about to take down the entire Taihe Prefecture! Hundreds of casualties have achieved this record, isn't it a miracle of military tactics in the history of war? What, they were all killed by their own people? I didn't say anything."

"The battle to seize the state has finally seen blood! Good men of Qingguo!"

The military scholars of Qingguo suffered unprecedented pressure.

Next, they took on the huge pressure of "no enemy" and captured the entire Taihe Prefecture in one breath. All ten cities in Taihe Prefecture were the same, and the whole city surrendered and was overjoyed.

After occupying the entire territory of Taihe Prefecture, the Qing army did not act rashly, and still divided its troops into four groups and stationed in four cities.

According to the original plan of Qing, the battle of Taihe Prefecture would last at least a month. Now it has been completely captured in just over ten days. The army should have continued to attack with great momentum, but no one dared to act rashly.

After another three days, the Qing army could no longer bear it and divided its troops into four groups again.

The cities that had been occupied had to send troops to garrison. Even if a city maintained a minimum of 10,000 garrisons, Taihe Prefecture had to leave 100,000 troops.

Next, the Qing army continued to move steadily and took Changshan Prefecture without bloodshed in twelve days.

This kind of record should have made Qing happy, but the four million Qing troops became more and more depressed.

Even the one million Qing troops who were guarding the border of Xizhou and did not participate in the battle were panicked, always feeling that Jingguo was luring the enemy deep into the city, and the real target was the one million troops of Xizhou.

However, the Qing army was not without progress.

During these days, the Qing army would set up camp every evening, and build the most standard camp, just like building a permanent house.

This led to a rapid improvement in the ability of Qing soldiers to dig trenches, build camps, cut wood for materials, and make fires for cooking.

The only drawback is that the Qing soldiers are a bit neurasthenic. Once there is an unusual sound, they will be panicked, and millions of people will wake up.

Although it was found that the Jing army did not attack every time, no one dared to take it lightly.

Any mistake would cost lives.

Therefore, the nights of the four armies were never peaceful. There would often be abnormalities, such as water leakage, underground noise, camp bombing, or animals entering the camp. Accidental casualties were commonplace.

No one could tell whether it was an accident or a means of Jing.

Countless soldiers wanted to march quickly to solve Xiangzhou in one breath, but no one dared to speak up. Once they were too eager for success and were caught by the Jing army, it was very likely to cause a major defeat of the entire army.

Next, the Qing army marched in an orderly manner, and wherever they went, as before, all the cities opened their gates and surrendered.

As June approached, when all the students in Shengyuan Continent were preparing for the Xiucai exam, the Qing army occupied six of the ten prefectures in Xiangzhou.

This was the first army in the history of the human race that wanted to fight a life-and-death battle with the enemy.

A few days later, the four armies set out again. On the way, Qing received a letter from Jing.

In the letter, the Jing cabinet asked if the battle to seize the state could be suspended so that the students in the two armies could finish the Xiucai exam?

The generals from all over Qing who got the news almost flipped the table.

This is a battle to seize the state, not a game!

When the scholars from all over the human race heard the news, they laughed like crazy.

The scholars in Jing praised the Jing cabinet as a good cabinet.

Qing rejected the request of the Jing cabinet with righteous words.

Therefore, the cabinet of Jingguo issued a stern letter to the state, reprimanding Qingguo for ignoring the future of scholars and delaying the future of students, and that it should stop before it was too late, otherwise it would bear the consequences.

The army of Qingguo immediately became nervous, stopped the next action, and defended the cities.

One day, two days, three days...

Jingguo still did not send a single soldier.

For the first time, the soldiers of Qingguo felt so tired of the war.

The arrow was on the string and had to be shot. After a few days, the army of Qingguo went out again and occupied the non-riverside city of Linjiang Prefecture bordering Yueyang Prefecture.

Linjiang Prefecture is the largest prefecture in Xiangzhou.

The fall of Linjiang Prefecture means that Yueyang City has lost its last barrier.

This ancient city is completely exposed to the army of Qingguo.

The four inland cities closest to Yueyang City each stationed nearly a million troops, aiming at Yueyang City.

Once Yueyang City is captured, it almost means the end of the battle to seize the state.

Yueyang City has become the most important town on the Yangtze River. Not only is commerce developed, but also a large number of academies have been built. It is one of the most important cities in Jing State.

What reassures all Jing people and even Qing people is that there are millions of troops stationed outside Yueyang City.

When the Qing army learned that there were troops stationed outside Yueyang City, they were extremely excited.

Finally, there is a war to fight!

Finally, there is no need to worry!

Finally, we can teach the Jing people a lesson!

From ordinary soldiers to lieutenants, the Qing army reported to the higher authorities, hoping to have a real battle with Jing State. The morale was so high that it surpassed any war in the history of Qing State.

There were even students in the Qing army who shouted the slogan of participating in the scholar exam in Yueyang City.

Under the encouragement of millions of troops, the upper echelons of Qing State finally couldn't stand the pressure and decided to send four armies to attack Yueyang City!

The day the army set out was June 12, and there were only three days before the scholar exam on June 15.

On the evening of June 13th, more than three million troops arrived at Yueyang City!

"Attack the city overnight!"

"Charge into Yueyang City!"

"Defeat Jingguo!"

After seeing the large number of troops on Yueyang City, the Qingguo soldiers' eyes turned red.

It’s so hard these days!

The people of Jingguo must be massacred, and Yixue felt hatred in his heart.

Just when the Qingguo army was excited, ten purple-robed scholars descended from the sky, each with a strange look on their face. Some of the scholars who had a good relationship with Jingguo even had weird smiles on their faces.

When the ordinary soldiers saw it, they were inexplicably surprised. Didn't they say that the Confucians could not participate in the battle? Why did they appear in front of the two armies and fly over?

However, when those high-ranking generals of the Qing Kingdom saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded, and then looked ecstatic!

Generalissimo Zong Xuan, who personally led the army, spoke with spring thunder and sent a message to the whole army: "This battle has been won, Qingguo is invincible! Qingguo is victorious, Qingguo is invincible!"

Soon, some educated scholars understood and started shouting.

Finally, ordinary soldiers also shouted.

"Qingguo is victorious! Qingguo is invincible!"

Everyone thought Qingguo had won.

Because these ten great scholars are great scholars from the Holy Academy!

In the battle to seize the state, there is only one possibility for the Holy Academy scholar to show up, and that is to judge one side to be defeated.

The war hasn't started yet, and the great scholars will appear, which means that they actually reached an agreement before the war started. This kind of thing has happened in history. The gap between the two sides was too great, so the battle did not start. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the great scholar asked the half-sage for instructions to end the battle early.

This will happen again.

More than three million against Yueyang City's one million, every Qingguo soldier is certain that victory belongs to Qingguo!

What's more, Grand Marshal Zong Xuan said it.
