Martial Arts Master Travelled to Ancient Time and Farms - Chapter 289

Chapter 289 Will be subject to orders from foreign rulers!

Qi State, Yingchuan County.

Sifang City, in the county guard’s mansion.

Today’s Sifang City has been occupied by the Wei army, and the Qi army defending the city only persisted for three days, and the county guard quietly led people away from the other side of the city gate.

As soon as the county guard fled, many upper-class wealthy households in Sifang City also packed up their belongings and fled desperately.

Even the county guard is leaving, who wants to defend the city to the death and never retreat? Only ordinary people who were not well-informed were a step behind and failed to escape.

The Qi army no longer had the will to fight, so the general who defended the city simply opened the city gates, and then surrendered.

In the county guard’s mansion, Xiao Man was neatly dressed and sat in the main seat, listening to the reports on various matters from the various ministries under his command.

Sitting next to them, in addition to the main generals of the Southern Expedition Army, there were also the imperial envoys and eunuchs to supervise the army. As for the secret guards and supervisors, they were hiding in the dark.

The secret guards were said to be supervising the army, but in fact the first task was to protect Xiao Man’s safety in secret.

It’s just that while protecting his safety, the hidden guards also have the right to record Xiao Man’s every move and directly report to Tian Ting.

This is armor, but also shackles.

Xiao Man’s way of dealing with this is to treat it normally.

Emperor Wei sent a military order, telling Xiao Man to take a rest in Yingchuan County, and then attack Qidu with all his might.

However, news came from the scouts, saying that Wang Yong, who now occupies the capital of Qi, seemed to have the intention of crossing the river to the south and fleeing.

The capital of Qi has become a sieve. Secret agents from the state of Wei have sneaked in for a long time, lurking in the mansions of the upper class dignitaries of the state of Qi to obtain all kinds of secrets.

War is not only about logistics, but also about information.

Now Xiao Man convened the generals to discuss matters, and the main discussion was: whether to give up rest and seize the time to attack Qidu before the Wang family fled?

Some people agreed, and the general spoke in a rough tone: “Soldiers are expensive and fast, so naturally we want to fight all over Qidu in one go. Let’s move faster and catch all the Ming Dynasty’s family. When the squadron returns to the court, they will be escorted to the capital.” Wouldn’t it be a good idea to offer prisoners?”

There were also people who objected, Yang Fang, the **** who supervised the army, said in a soft voice: “Your Highness, weary soldiers cannot fight for a long time. The soldiers have been fighting continuously for more than a month. If there is a disadvantage in rushing to attack the city, wouldn’t it be a waste of troops? Then Since Wang Yong wants to escape, let him escape.”

As he said that, Yang Fang covered his mouth and laughed: “It’s just right that he escaped. We will capture Qidu without any effort, and the achievements of the Southern Expedition will be accomplished. Your Highness, I am overjoyed!”

Yang Fang smiled so much that his face was wrinkled, and his contrived appearance made several generals below frown.

Immediately someone retorted: “Supervisor Yang doesn’t know about military affairs, so don’t talk nonsense. Although our soldiers have been fighting continuously, they have always had enough food and grass, and they have won all the way. They are not exhausted at all! At this moment, our army’s morale is high. Take advantage of the victory and pursue.”

“That’s right!” the generals echoed, “Since it’s Nanzheng, this Wang Yong must be arrested or killed, and he can’t be let go. If this is the case, how can he be told to escape from Shenchuan? Once he escapes, With Shen Chuan blocking him, it will not be easy to catch him again!”

The generals did not listen to Yang Fang at all, and did not fear him.

Momentarily angry, Yang Fang gritted his teeth secretly, and his voice became sharp: “Your Majesty sent an order to tell the army to rest, are you going to disobey the military order?”

Just this one sentence stunned the audience.

Of course, it wasn’t Yang Fang, but Wei Huang, who dominated the audience.

Wei Huang is now very prestigious. Even though the crown prince led everyone to win a few battles, the crown prince’s prestige is still far from that of Wei Huang.

Yang Fang moved out of Wei Huang, and for a while, none of the generals present dared to say the words “I will not accept the order of the emperor outside”.

In fact, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and sometimes there is really no time to wait for military orders.

For example, if Wang Yong wanted to escape, it would have been a day or two since they got the news. If they waited for the information to be sent back to Wei Jing, and then waited for Wei Huang to convey the follow-up military order, it would take half a month to pass. up.

By then, hey, the day lilies are cool!

But what can be done?

Seeing that no one dared to refute him, Yang Fangfang raised his chin slightly, and finally felt complacent.

As for the generals below, how many people secretly scolded him for being a villain, but Yang Fang didn’t care.

He stole a glance at the prince on the main seat, and saw that the prince was calm, although his face was handsome and cold, as if there was a kind of frightening alienation, but in the end, the prince did not refute him.

Yang Fang suddenly sneered in his heart: So what if we won a few battles? That’s nothing but the Qi army’s idiots, and we have a strong army here. This kind of battle, who is fighting for, who can not win? The prince… Hey, the prince is still the old wimpy prince!

Yang Fang deeply felt that the prince behaved like this, and when he returned to the capital, he would be able to explain to the imperial concubine.

What Yang Fang didn’t know was that although Xiao Man didn’t refute Wei Huang’s military order during the discussion in the hall, Xiao Man secretly summoned several generals as soon as he left the meeting hall.

The few he summoned were just middle- and low-level generals, and they were all young people who were temporarily promoted by him because of their military exploits during this southern expedition.

These people all have the same characteristics of being flexible and daring to fight. What’s more, they were all promoted by Xiao Man’s efforts, and they were labeled as Xiao Man, and they were extremely loyal to him, the crown prince.

Xiao Man issued an order to them: “You are alone, each lead a thousand elite riders, from the east, south, north, these places…”

He pointed at the map, and arranged the routes everywhere clearly and clearly. It can be seen that he has already made up his mind, and he called everyone to discuss the matter before, but it was just for some people to see.

Xiaoman doesn’t need others to give him opinions at all, he already has a decision in his mind!

As he uttered all the orders bit by bit, the eyes of the several generals who obeyed the order were already shining, and their blood was surging.

Xiao Man asked: “You understand everything, but can you do it?”

Several generals almost said in unison: “Understood! I will definitely live up to His Highness’s expectation!”

At the same time, Cheng Ling who was far away in Chen Guo also happened to receive news from Xiao Man.

Of course, due to the difficulty of communication in this era, Cheng Ling received the information very delayed.

Xiaoman has captured the last city in Yingchuan County, Sifang City. The news from Cheng Ling’s side was that Xiao Man had just arrived at Sifang City.

Even so, this is enough to cheer up the spirits of the Wei State Mission.

Their efforts in Chen Guo were not in vain!

Along with Chen Guo, more and more middle- and upper-class dignitaries learned of the existence of the “glazed formula”, and a storm that has been brewing for a long time is finally about to break out.

On this day, Zhang Jingxian broke into the Wei State Mission’s residence aggressively.
