Chapter 36 Must Return

Zheng Yi was afraid that Liu Ying would lead troops to attack, and immediately agreed to the conditions listed by Liu Ying, Ye Xiang and Ji Yun. He repaired a letter and asked Da Qi's messenger to go back to restore his life.

Liu Ying read Zheng Yi's reply and looked at the generals. The generals of the Fifth Army and Sixth Army of Daqi, who were present, began to discuss the matter.

Ye Xiang said, "It seems that Zheng Yi is afraid of the front of Qi and takes the initiative to be soft. In his letter, Zheng Yi said that he would obey the dispatch of our army and drive his troops to the Changxi area and no longer reinforce Jianzhou. In this way, taking Jianzhou is like exploring things.

Ji Yungu praised it for the first time, and all the generals also thought that Ye Xiang's analysis was reasonable.

Liu Ying flirted with Dahong's robe and shouted, "I don't think Zheng Yi has the courage to be the enemy, so let him lead his troops to withdraw to Changxi. If he is still restless and fights with Daqi in northern Fujian, we will send troops to destroy all his soldiers and horses and drive Zheng Yi to the sea to feed Wang Ba!"

A burst of cheerful laughter broke out in the Zhongjun tent, and all the generals were amused by Liu Ying's words.

As Ye Xiang expected, after Zheng Yi's soldiers and horses retreated to Changxi, the Tang soldiers in Jianzhou had no fighting spirit and will have no fighting spirit. In a few days, the Tang army in Jianzhou shrank by more than half, and many soldiers rolled up their bedding and fled for their lives.

Under the command of Liu Ying and other generals, the soldiers and horses of the Fifth Army and Sixth Army of Daqi launched an attack on Jianzhou at dawn. In less than half a day, the Tang army in Jianzhou surrendered without death, and Jianzhou, an important town in northern Fujian, returned to the hands of Daqi.

The generals and soldiers of Daqi had lunch in Jianzhou, and the people of Jianzhou helped the old and young and warmly welcomed the heroes of Daqi.

An old man with a white beard was holding a crutch, holding Liu Ying's hand tightly, and said hoarsely, "General Liu, we Jianzhou people are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally look forward to you. When you arrive in Jianzhou this time, you can't withdraw as soon as last time!"

Liu Ying saw that the old man's beard was half a foot long, like the roots of the old banyan tree, fluttering in the wind. At a glance, I knew that the old man had experienced the vicissitudes of the world. From the old man's words, Liu Ying heard the trust of the people of Fujian for the generals of Daqi.

Liu Ying nodded vibly and said crisply, "Grandpa, please don't worry. This time, the generals of Daqi were stationed in Jianzhou. Daqi has occupied many towns in Chang'an, Luoyang and Huaxia, and the cause of the uprising has been supported by more and more people. It is estimated that in three or five years, Daqi will be able to unify China. At that time, the people will be able to live and work in peace.

The old man listened and was overjoyed: "That's good, how dare you are good! The teacher of the Great Qi is the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, just like the righteous teacher of King Wu of Zhou for 800 years. Huang Wang, you finally got what you wanted and became the son of heaven. The people of Jianzhou are happy for you!"

After discussing with the generals, Liu Ying decided that Ye Xiang would lead 10,000 troops to garrison Jianzhou, and Ji Yun and Gu Hong led their troops back to Tingzhou and Chaozhou. After arranging these, Liu Ying returned to Shiligang and studied the next military action with Fei Chuangu.

It can be said that Cao Quanyu took his Qingzhou soldiers and ran east and west in order to suppress the Huangchao rebel army over the years. It can be said that he has suffered a lot, but the effect is very little, and his men will fight less and less. After the Huang Chao Uprising Army occupied Chang'an, Tang Xizong Li Yan issued an edict ordering Cao Quanqi to lead troops to leave the south of the Yangtze River and station in Sizhou to prevent Huang Chao leading troops to cross the north of the river.

Contrary, the Huang Chao rebel army successfully crossed the river north through quarrying, quickly broke through Luoyang and Tongguan, and entered Chang'an. Cao Quanyu has always been loyal to Li Tang. After receiving the news that Tang Xizong fled to Shuchuan in the west, he sighed at the government office of Sizhou all day long, and it was difficult to sleep and eat.

Yao Qing, a staff member, saw that Cao Quanyu was depressed and said, "General Cao is loyal and brave in Tang, but at present, our army is sitting in Sizhou, and there are few soldiers. Pu has been wary of us and preventing my army from entering the territory of Xuzhou to make a rest. In Yangzhou in the south, Gao Yu, an old thief, was so depressed that he betrayed the Tang Dynasty and no longer paid tribute to the court, not to mention the conquest and horses of the Qi army. Now in the Jianghuai area, can you do anything with these nearly ten thousand horses?

Cao Quanyu faced Xichuan and sighed: "My Majesty, as a young emperor, you have made this great river and mountain devastated because of your amusement, which makes my heart cold!"

Cao Yi walked into the government office from the outside and saw Cao Quanyu's melancholy. Cao Yi stared at him: "Dad, why are you so depressed? At present, although our army has only a few thousand troops, this is a hundred battle divisions. As the saying goes, there are not many soldiers but courage, and Yi'er is not talented. He is willing to lead these thousands of soldiers to Qilu to destroy Sunmei's troops, and completely cut off Huang Chao's idea of building a thief's den in Qilu!"

Yao Qingfu said, "It is well known that Mr. Yi bravely crowned the three armies. However, at present, Sunmei's department is uncertain in Qilu, and it is difficult to find its main force in the decisive battle. In addition, if our army goes north to Qilu, there will be a lot of trouble in feeding, and this matter needs to be discussed in the long way!"

For a long time, Cao Quanyu said again: "Our army will go north to Qilu, which will happen sooner or later. Now we can't count on Gao Yu and Shi Pu. Our army wants to compete with the main force of Daqi, and its strength is insufficient. What can be done now is to eat Sun Meibu of Qilu first, which is realistic and feasible. The army led by this woman is not as good as our Qingzhou soldiers, hahaha!"

When Cao Yi saw that Cao Quanyu's mood improved, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he stepped forward and said, "Dad, this time to go north to Qilu, Yi'er is willing to be the front vanguard and look for Sun Mei's decisive battle!"

Cao Quanyu nodded, stretched out his second hand, held Cao Yi's face, and ordered, "Yi'er, this time it's a long way to go north to Qilu. You take 5,000 people to open the road, and I will let Ju Hui and Liu Ming be your deputy generals and follow your actions. The remaining two or three thousand people were led by me. When I passed through Xuzhou, I borrowed some food and fodder from Shi Pu. I think everyone is the army of the Tang Dynasty, and Shi Pu should be able to do this.

Cao Yi nodded vibly: "Dad, Yi'er remembered!"

When Cao Quanyu saw Cao Yi turn around and left, he quickly shouted, "Yi'er, if you fight against Sun Mei's soldiers and horses, you should withdraw to Qingzhou in time, and you must keep our old capital!"

Cao Yi ran and said, "Don't worry, Dad, Yi'er will definitely win this time!"

Yao Qing saw Cao Quanyu with a beard like a dry old corn beard and kept staring at the direction Cao Yi was running. When Cao Yi walked out of the door and was no longer in sight, Yao Qing stepped forward and said, "General Cao, Mr. Yi is known as the rebirth of Lv Wenhou of the Three Kingdoms. A square sky painting halberd swept the world. Even if the thief army is full of tricks, Mr. Yi will definitely have a way!"

"Well, I also think that Yi'er is brave. Under the command of Sun Mei, a few Qilu thieves must be unable to do it, hahaha!" Cao Quanyu laughed wildly.

The words were divided into two. After leaving Chang'an with the 50,000 elite soldiers of the Great Qizhong Army, Sun Mei went all the way east and successfully entered Qilu. Under the leadership of Sun Mei, the generals of the Great Qi Dynasty rolled up a storm on the land of Qilu. Where the Qi army passed, they suppressed corrupt officials and bullies, opened warehouses to the people, and worked hard. The people were overjoyed and sent their children to the barracks as soldiers. The Qi army quickly developed to nearly 100,000 people in Qilu, and their military power was far-reaching.

One day, Sun Mei was reading a military book in the village of Niqiu Mountain. General Li Chengyou came in and reported: "General, according to Ma, Cao Quanyu and his son stationed in Sizhou are dispatching troops to Qilu north. Their strategic intention is unknown."

"Well, is there such a thing?" Sun Mei put down the military book and meditated.

After a while, Lu Qi, General Huya, and General Wen Ying of Guangwei, came in. Seeing Sun Mei meditating, Wen Ying walked to Sun Mei and suddenly shouted, "Mom!"

Sun Mei was shocked. Seeing that it was Wen Ying, she pretended to be angry and gently pushed Wen Ying and said angrily, "You ghost girl, come in gently, like a cat!" Aren't you afraid to scare your mother?"

Wen Ying squeezed her lips and smiled: "Mom, you are distracted and thinking about military affairs, so you didn't hear the voice of me and Xiao Lu!"

Sun Mei saw Lu Qi and Li Chengyou standing in the middle of the hall and quickly greeted them: "Look at me, I'm thinking about how to destroy Cao Quanyang, a northward soldier, and forget you. Come to me quickly, sit down casually, and let's discuss a strategy to defeat the enemy together. After Xianzhi and Brother Huang rose up, Cao Quanqi, a poisonous snake, has been pestering us. This time, our army took advantage of Cao Quanyu's northward Qilu to surround him and annihilate him in one fell swoop to eliminate the future trouble of Qi!"

Lu Qi said loudly, "Mom is very thoughtful. Since our army came to Qilu, it has opened up many bases. Now there are our soldiers in many areas of Qilu. Cao Quanyu will have the ability to completely eat him this time!"

Sun Mei nodded: "Xiao Lu said that the soldiers and horses of Cao Quanhai and his son were eliminated this time. Do you think any other Fangzhen in Qilu dares to fight against Daqi?"

Li Chengyou smiled and said, "General, let's hold a military meeting to discuss how to eliminate Cao Quanqi and his son, the enemy of going north!"

Sun Mei said cheerfully, "What Chengyou said is extremely true. I don't think it's too late. Now I will urgently notify the generals from all over Qilu to personally lead the main force to Niqiu Mountain to concentrate on deliberation. Then act separately and surround Cao Quanyu and his son like Zongzi, and be sure to destroy all the enemy troops!"

Wen Ying danced happily: "This time, we are going to give Cao Quanyu and his son three layers. We must cramp and skin Cao Quanyu and his son to avenge the desperate generals!"

Sun Mei ordered dozens of his own soldiers to go to various places in Qilu quickly and inform the generals of Daqi to go to Niqiu Mountain to attend a military meeting. Because Qilu's soldiers and horses were mainly concentrated in the south, a day or two later, most of the generals of Qi led troops to Mount Niqiu.

The military meeting began. Sun Mei looked around the venue and saw that the generals were full of energy and high spirits.

The generals who attended the meeting include Huya General Lu Qi, Guangwei General Wen Ying, Captive General Wang Ying, Captive General Wang Yan, Xuanwei General Li Chengyou, Hu Lie General Zhang Sitai and others, all of whom are used to war.

Sun Mei briefly introduced the current military situation, and then said loudly, "This time Cao Quanyu's father and son misjud the situation and thought they could fight with our Qilu army. I think their father and son miscalculated!" I am determined to use our elite division at all costs to destroy Li Tang and Cao Quanyang's troops in Yishui at one fell swoop!"
