Chapter 431 429 Vixen
Chapter 431 429. Vixen
"A large number of ferocious beasts appeared on the battlefield in Yuzhou Province this afternoon!"
After Xiaowan sat down, she said with a serious face: "After Dangcheng was captured, the Daru army that went south to Yuzhou was divided into two groups. One group continued to attack the city in Dangshan, and the other group headed towards Wujiang County. Go, when the Wujiang County garrison was blocking Daru's army in Tiger Leaping Gorge, a large number of ferocious beasts suddenly rushed out from Wuwang Mountain and rushed into the formation of the Yuzhou soldiers, biting and eating people. Almost instantly, the Yuzhou soldiers were Collapse!"
Ren Pingsheng looked at the location of Tiger Leaping Gorge on the map.
Wujiang County is adjacent to Duohai County in Jingzhou, but is separated by the Wuwang Mountains. The mountains within it are difficult to march. This is why Daru's army chose Dangshan County as a breakthrough point.
"Basically all of the more than 40,000 Wujiang County defenders were lost in Tiger Leaping Gorge. Once these people were lost, the entire seven counties of Wujiang County would have their cities taken away.
It was considered lost. "
Xiaowan sighed and said.
The Night Owl organization under her is one of the most important authorities of the king, and it is also a pair of eyes directly belonging to the king.
Xiaowan may not be proficient in all kinds of information about politics, military, culture, officialdom, people, and mountains and forests, but after years of accumulation, he knows a little bit about everything.
From the information she had now, she also knew that the current situation in Qi was very tense.
First, the disadvantages brought about by Qi's rapid expansion of its territory were that there were too many places to defend and the defense lines were stretched too long, which diluted the military strength like spreading pancakes.
Second, the organizational strength of the newly occupied provinces is not strong enough, and it is temporarily impossible to form a joint force.
Third, the sudden earthquake in Nanyang and the series of chain reactions caused by the earthquake disrupted Wuzhou's step-by-step development plan. It had to follow the general trend of the world and join this war, and was not adequately prepared.
But if the eight southern provinces do not fight, the pressure Qi will face now will only be greater.
Once the Daru Dynasty marched straight in and captured the south, Wuzhou was completely surrounded. There was no longer any strategic depth, and there was no room for maneuver.
By then, whether the enemy chooses to fight in a corps battle, or encircles without fighting and continues to harass, Wuzhou will be dragged into the quagmire of war, and there will no longer be room, time and resources for development.
Under this situation, it fell into absolute passivity.
"Guan Guan Liu may not be able to sit still now."
Ren Pingsheng looked at the map and said.
Zhongzhou is retreating steadily, and Wushan County in Northern Anhui is also bordering Wujiang County in Yuzhou. Although it is blocked by the Wuwang Mountains in the middle, since the Daru people can control the beasts, it means that the mountains are also the home ground of the Daru people. If Wushan County comes out like this, the Beiwan Group's home base will be taken over by Daru's army!
Just as he was talking, Wang Shu walked in: "The envoy from Beiwan is here."
"Let them in."
Ren Pingsheng walked to the palace and sat down behind the imperial cabinet.
Soon, the messenger and his party came in.
Seeing the messenger standing at the front, Ren Pingsheng was slightly stunned.
Although he was wearing men's clothing, his bulging chest showed that he was a Xibei guy.
Moreover, with the rouge on his lips, he obviously had no intention of actually dressing up as a man.
As soon as the envoy entered the palace, he saw that there were only a few people in the palace. Apart from King Qi who was behind the imperial case, there were only three maids and a woman wearing a blue round-neck Confucian shirt sitting in the palace. The surrounding water aura was dense, and it was obvious that he was a powerful stranger.
Meeting the envoy, she was slightly startled by the small number of people there.
"Mi Fang, the envoy from Northern Anhui, has met the king!"
The woman knelt down and bowed to Ren Pingsheng.
"Get up."
Ren Pingsheng said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Mi Fang and the members of the mission behind her stood up.
At this time, there were few people in the palace, and they were talking directly to the King of Qi, so they had no role to speak. They all stood behind Mi Fang and acted like wooden figures.
"Our purpose of coming, the flag owner has stated in the letter, we hope to get the help of the king to send troops to jointly deal with the powerful enemy!"
Mi Fang's voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly, as if her lips were gently touching your ear. You can even smell her fragrance at the tip of your nose, and your ears The fine hairs on her body can feel her gentle and warm breath.
Xiaowan glanced at Ren Pingsheng, but saw that Ren Pingsheng had picked up the teacup on the table without any intention of speaking.
She thought for a while and then said: "Now that the Qi State is newly established, everything is waiting to be revitalized. I don't want to get involved in this war."
"May I ask who this lord is?"
Mi Fang was obviously very curious about Xiao Wan. She guessed that this woman should be the Minister of Finance and Taxation announced by the State of Qi, the woman of the King of Qi.
"Minister of Finance and Taxation, Qin Wan."
Xiaowan said.
"I've met Minister Qin."
Mi Fang curtsied and said, "What the minister said is based on the stability of the world. Now that Daru's army marches south with three armies, it is the time when they are ambitious and want to swallow up the world. They are even saying that there are no heroes in Han Dynasty. Han people are like pigs.
Under such a situation, why should everything be wasted? In this war, what is it about not being involved if you don’t want to be involved?
Lips are dead and teeth are cold, and Northern Anhui is gone. How can Wuzhou sleep in peace?
Your Majesty, my king, Liu Guanjun, is willing to serve you as a courtier and guard the northern gate for Qi State. I only hope that Qi State can send troops to rescue and fight the enemy together! "
Mi Fang once again bowed down to Ren Pingsheng.
"What you said makes sense, but now the defense line of Qi's eight provinces is very long. We have to consider not only Zhongzhou, but also Yuzhou and even Yanzhao.
We also want to send troops, but we are really unable to do so."
Xiao Wan said again.
What she said was all true. When the Daru Dynasty went south, Chujiang Province, Pingshan Province, and even the southern Anhui region bordering Yuzhou would border the enemy.
"In this case, shouldn't Qi support Zhongzhou even more? Only if we can hold on can we resist more barbarian troops, and if we can't resist the strong enemy, Qi will face more barbarian troops!
If we are here, we can share the pressure for Qi.
And if we are gone, Qi will have to bear the pressure alone!"
Mi Fang looked at Xiao Wan and said.
In her opinion, since the King of Qi was willing to meet their delegation, it already represented some of the King of Qi's attitude.
Although the two sides fought in Yuntai County a few years ago, they were in a different situation at this time.
At present, the two sides have common goals and interests in resisting the invasion of the Daru Dynasty.
But at the same time, things have their priorities. The Beiwan Group is obviously more critical at this time, and naturally at a disadvantage in the negotiations.
"The barbarian army of the Daru Dynasty has occupied Wujiang County this afternoon."
Ren Pingsheng spoke for the first time.
"What!?"
Mi Fang heard this, first disbelieved, then horrified.
As a neighbor and old rival, she knew the power of Qi's intelligence work, and also knew that Qi had a means of long-distance information transmission, but until now they didn't know whether it was a supernatural means or Qi's so-called "technological" means.
"This is the information we just got. The Daru Dynasty let beasts eat people, and released wild beasts in the mountains and forests with the King of Wu in Tiger Leaping Gorge, attacking more than 40,000 defenders in Wujiang County, and Wujiang County fell into the hands of the enemy."
Xiao Wan said in detail.
Mi Fang frowned tightly.
The faces of the people in the delegation behind him suddenly became flustered.
The core of the Beiwan political group is in Wushan County, and Wujiang County is geographically adjacent to Wushan County.
Most of the relatives of the delegation members are also in Wushan County.
If when they came, these civil officials were still watching the fire from the other side of the river, now it is time to deal with the situation.
"Your Majesty!"
Mi Fang looked a little ugly, and said in a hoarse voice: "The Daru army has arrived in Wujiang County. I hope Your Majesty will make a decision as soon as possible.
All requests are accepted."
Now, there is no time for negotiation.
"First, Liu Guanjun formally submits his loyalty;
Second, the Beiwan army is organized into the Fourth Route Army of Qi;
Third, the officers of the Beiwan army will be reorganized by the Ministry of National Defense of Qi after the war, and the officers of the army will study at the Military University of Qi."
Ren Pingsheng said.
These three conditions are the prerequisites for determining the future status, the wartime army, and the post-war military power.
Mi Fang is also a clear-minded person, and he thought of these at the first time.
But the only grip they have now for negotiation is the consensus of resisting the Daru people.
At this time, the situation is critical, Beiwan has reached the brink of destruction, and they can no longer make plans, so they can only accept it first.
She bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we agree."
Ren Pingsheng waved his hand and said, "Go down now. Someone will contact you about the rest."
"I'll take my leave!"
The Mi Fang changed his address naturally and took the delegation down.
Ren Pingsheng looked at her graceful figure disappearing outside the gate, frowning slightly: "Xiao Wan, don't you think this woman doesn't look like a human being?"
"Not like a human being?"
Xiao Wan was stunned when she heard this.
She didn't see it.
"When I went to the palace to lobby just now, this woman obviously used seductive means. After I found out, she immediately corrected her attitude.
Also, although there is no trace of the demon's transformation on this woman's appearance, I still felt a faint demonic aura just now."
Ren Pingsheng said.
Xiao Wan thought carefully and did find clues.
At this time, the hall still had the fragrance emanating from that woman. If you distinguish carefully, this fragrance makes people unconsciously have a slight impulse.
"Last year, the Beiwan Group suffered a series of defeats in the war between Zhongzhou and Jing Dynasty, and its old nest was attacked by the Hornet King, which caused great suffering.
But in the second half of the year, it suddenly changed its focus and became more aggressive. Not only did it quickly solve the Hornet King, but it also fought several tough battles in Zhongzhou.
Most of the territory of the Beiwan Group in Zhongzhou was conquered at that time."
Xiao Wan recalled and said, "After that, there were rumors that the King of Wu often had things that he couldn't make up his mind about, but as long as he returned to the harem, he would have an idea the next morning.
I didn't take this rumor seriously before, but now it seems that it may not be groundless."
"This Mi Fang, as a woman, can lead a team on an envoy at such an important time. She can also agree to such an important matter.
It can be seen that this Mi Fang's status in the Beiwan Group is really extraordinary."
Ren Pingsheng speculated.
In the evening, Huang Wenguang came to Ren Pingsheng with an action plan to report.
"First, we will deploy the navy to the coast of Xinpan Province to resist the barbarian soldiers from entering Hengbin County. On the coast of Shadong, we will resist the barbarian soldiers from entering Shadong County.
The second is to dispatch 20,000 militiamen from Yuntai County to support Boming County and Shadong County.
The third is to support 3,000 flintlock muskets, ammunition and explosive bags. "
Ren Pingsheng looked at these three most important items and asked, "Can the soldiers in Beiwan use flintlock rifles?"
Although this thing can be used quickly, there are still some thresholds, and it has very high requirements for proficiency, military discipline, and cooperation.
Huang Wenguang said: "I have communicated with Mi Fang. They have absorbed a group of musketeers from the Shenji Battalion in Jingchao, about three thousand people."
"Um."
Ren Pingsheng nodded: "Just follow this plan."
"yes!"
Huang Wenguang hurried down.
Time is urgent now, and troop mobilization and consultations will take a certain amount of time.
The Secretariat immediately sent a telegram to the Ministry of National Defense, and then to the Third Route Army in Yuntai County in the joint name of the Secretariat and the Ministry of National Defense.
That night, Mi Fang and the delegation hurriedly left Qifeng County and flew directly to Yuntai County.
She wants to go over there and coordinate the armies of both sides.
"That woman is a vixen!"
When Ren Pingsheng was finishing his meal, Xiaowan opened the door and came in and said.
"Vixen? Where did the vixen come from?"
Ruan Tang, who had just flown back from Qingcheng Town in the evening, was nibbling on a pink corn cob. When he heard the word "vixen", it seemed that a key word was triggered. He raised his head and asked curiously.
"That woman from the Beiwan Mission today."
Xiaowan said: "This afternoon, I found Xingchi, Catalina, and a stranger with the magic of breaking the phantom pupil, and we went to observe the woman.
In the end, Catalina figured out that it was a vixen. "
"In the future, pay more attention to this Mi Fang, she should be a key figure in the Beiwan Group.
At least he is also a figure who has great influence on Liu Guanjun. "
Ren Pingsheng said.
"good."
Xiaowan sat down and picked up the chopsticks.
"Is that vixen pretty?"
Ruan Tang nudged Xiao Wan with her elbow curiously and asked in a low voice.
"quite pretty."
Xiaowan said truthfully.
"Husband, who is more beautiful, me or the vixen?"
Ruan Tang asked Ren Pingsheng again with great interest.
This time, in order to improve productivity, she went to Qingcheng to provide guidance and stayed there for more than half a month. Today she came back to see her husband, whom she misses day and night. A little goodbye is better than a new love, and she feels like there is a little rabbit in her heart. Like jumping, extremely happy.
"How can a vixen reach you?"
Ren Pingsheng took a look at Ruan Tang's pretty face.
Hearing the compliment, Ruan Tang was satisfied and turned around to see Xiao Wan's disdainful eyes.
"Ah."
When their eyes met, Xiaowan chuckled.
Comparing beauty with a vixen is really promising.
I had a lot of work today, and I felt very sleepy at night. I fell asleep while writing, and I haven’t finished it until now. We can't do this anymore. I have to write a chapter and save it for whatever I say this week. It's tiring and insecure to pass it on now.
