Chapter 258 Jin Sent Troops, Go

But it is said that the army led by Yan Zhengqing is now fighting with the coalition forces of Dongyuan County and Nanyang County across the Xiandai River. Because of the Heaven Sealing Formation, the coalition forces of Dongyuan County and Nanyang County could not cross the river quickly for the time being. And Nangongzhi's meaning is also very clear, I'm here to protect Dongyuan County, that's all; as for Luliang County—hmph, I can't get it in Nanyang County, so don't even think about Dongyuan County!

Although there was a gap between Nangong Zhi and Kong Donglai, for the time being, Nangong Zhi didn't have any bad thoughts. Therefore, Nangong Zhi considered the issue from the position of Nanyang County. Today, our Nanyang County has lost troops and lost generals, the plan has failed, and the military strength has dropped to the lowest point in history; the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and the generals have no fighting spirit.

And Dongyuan County borders Nanyang County. If Dongyuan County swallows Luliang County, it will become stronger in the future, and may even threaten my Nanyang County in turn. So, no matter what, you can't get Luliang County.

Taking the Xiandai River as the boundary and drawing the river to rule, the north belongs to Anyang, the south belongs to Dongyuan County, and keeping Dongyuan County is the strategic plan of Nangongzhi and Nanyang County.

…………

In the north, Beichen Yuqing and Wang Jian led an army of 70,000 to the south, and the first to attack was the plane.

The altitude of the plane is as high as 3,000 meters, or even 5,000 meters. This altitude is not something that a master of Jindan stage can easily fly to; therefore, at this altitude, the plane can easily attack the enemy.

Seeing the plane from Anyang arriving from the north, Nan Gongzhi immediately made a judgment—the north had fallen, and Dongyuan County's 100,000 troops, as well as Dongyuan County's governor Yuan Zhong, were either dead or captured.

Nan Gongzhi thought about it, and when he told Yuan Jinjiang, the general of the Yuan family, Yuan Jinjiang could only let out a long sigh. Who would have thought that when things got to this point, Anyang was besieged from all directions at the same time, and Anyang seemed to win easily in the end.

"It's all Songzhou County's fault, they retreated without resisting!" Yuan Jinjiang said bitterly.

Nangong Zhi rolled his eyes, your Yuan family is not a good guy, you want to monopolize Luliang County while we are in a life-and-death battle. It's all right now, stealing chickens won't cost you rice, none of the hundred thousand troops ran away, and even the governor Yuan Zhong folded in. Hmph, if it wasn't for containing Anyang, I would have wiped out Dongyuan County right now! what!

Not to mention, Nangong Zhi is really 70% sure that he will turn around and destroy Dongyuan County and expand the scope of Nanyang County. It's just that they dare not do it. If Dongyuan County is pushed into a hurry, the other side is likely to surrender to Anyang, or even Jin. Moreover, when the two sides fight, it is easy for Anyang to "take advantage of the situation".

After thinking for a while, Nan Gongzhi said: "General Yuan Jinjiang, there is no need to say anything now. Now that Anyang is going to launch an active attack, it is our turn to defend passively. We must not let Anyang cross the Xiandai River, otherwise...the consequences will not be my responsibility. Speak."

Yuan Jinjiang looked a little embarrassed, but also a little serious. He nodded and went out, letting the soldiers start defending along the river. In any case, Anyang cannot be allowed to cross the Xiandai River, because there is almost no danger to defend the Xiandai River to the south. There are only a few small hills and mountain tops at the junction of Luliang County and Dongyuan County; Dongyuan County is not as rich and luxurious as Anyang, and there are spirit stones to arrange formations.

A tense atmosphere spread within the coalition forces of Dongyuan County and Nanyang County.

As for the northern part of the Xiandai River, when Nangong Zhi and Yuan Jinjiang started to switch from offense to defense, Beichen Yuqing and Yan Zhengqing had already met. The topics they talked about would definitely make Nangong Zhi and Yuan Jinjiang stunned.

"I think enough is enough, there is no need to continue to attack. Otherwise, it would be bad to force Dongyuan County to jump over the wall and seek refuge with Jin." Beichen Yuqing suggested.

Yan Zhengqing chuckled, "Enough is of course necessary, but it's not the time yet. We still need to negotiate, and we need to get Dongwon County to make compensation. The unprovoked war has caused us so many losses, so we won't compensate How can it be done!"

Beichen Yuqing nodded slightly, "That's right, although Dongyuan County didn't attack us, they issued a declaration. But let's row the river for now and wait for news from Anyang."

Yan Zhengqing smiled slightly, with a wicked tone: "That's the only way. However, let the soldiers have fun, don't stop the artillery, and attack the opponent a few times from time to time to create a tense atmosphere.

Even if we don't know how to cross the river to fight, we can't let the other party relax, and we can't let the other party see our true intentions. At least let the opponent be on the defensive and dare not attack us. "

"That's the truth!" Beichen Yuqing also agreed. The simple strategy of the two made the coalition forces on the south bank very nervous. Since nightfall, the artillery has not stopped, and it seems that there is no regularity. One shot from the east to the other, but such an irregular war has caused the coalition forces of Kong and Yuan to be extremely nervous. It brought a lot of casualties and great panic. The soldiers did not dare to sleep and rest, because they were afraid that the shells would suddenly hit their heads.

…………

At this moment, in the northern city of Anyang, the lights were brightly lit, and countless people paid attention to the situation of the war ahead; today's Anyang can be called the city that never sleeps. Night travel is only prohibited near the City Lord's Mansion.

In the Anyang City Lord's Mansion, Li Xian was discussing with Xu Ren, Li Yuanming, Yan Ze'an and others how to deal with the "victory" ahead.

At the entrance of the meeting hall, there is another chair, and Yuan Zhong, who has been sealed as a cultivation base, is sitting here. Yuan Zhong's eyes were burning, and Li Xian and others were discussing how to deal with Dongyuan County and Luliang County in front of their faces. This is an insult, a disgrace! However, for the sake of Dongyuan County and the Yuan family, Yuan Zhong still listened carefully.

The handling of Luliang County is very simple and very rude-directly merged into Anyang, completely canceling the existence of Luliang County as an administrative unit, just like Anyang annexed Zhongshan County.

As for Dongyuan County, naturally they will no longer attack, and the two sides will draw the river to rule, just to prevent Dongyuan County from being forced to jump the wall, fight to the death, or take refuge in Jin. But this time Anyang's war consumption is tentatively determined: Dongyuan County needs to pay a quarter of the compensation.

Anyang's consumption in this war is naturally a lot, and if it is exaggerated a little bit, it will become an astronomical figure. Among other things, the number of spirit stones for arranging the formation is not a small amount. Therefore, Dongyuan County needs to pay 3 million taels of gold; but the benevolent Young Master Li, considering the financial situation of Dongyuan County, can pay it in 20 years. Well, there is interest, 10%, the kind of rolling interest.

Three million taels of gold! Hearing this number, Yuan Zhong wanted to jump up and kill Li Xian. Twenty years of payment, 150,000 taels of gold per year.

There are also prisoners, the two sides are in a state of war, and the prisoners will be judged but not released; but they can be redeemed or exchanged. If you want to redeem the captives, you will naturally have to pay a high price, three taels of gold per person for the third floor of the gas refining period; four taels of gold for the fourth floor of the gas refining period, and so on. If it is in the foundation building period, the unit is "one hundred taels of gold".

But if you want to redeem the captives, there is a prerequisite: the indemnity must be paid off.

What Yuan Zhong heard at the "doorway" was anger rising, and he only felt that Anyang and Li Xian were going too far. At this time, Yuan Zhong had selectively forgotten about his own public threats to attack Anyang.

After discussing the matter of Dongyuan County, Li Xian and others continued to discuss Songzhou County and Nanyang County; Songzhou County, Li Xian and others did not plan to pursue too much, but prepared to win over, because Songzhou County fled without a fight, It has brought enough benefits to Anyang. What's more, winning over Songzhou County can also effectively attack the joint vertical and horizontal alliances in Nanyang County. As for Guangling County, which is farther away, it depends on the situation.

At the end of the discussion, Li Xian and the others changed the subject of the conversation to Li Yulong's ascension to the throne and the eldest prince's withdrawal of troops. Hearing all this information, Yuan Zhong was stunned. He didn't expect things to change like this. It's a pity that he knew it too late!

After waiting for the discussion between Li Xian and others to end, Yuan Zhong finally said tremblingly, "Li Xian, what do you want to do by asking me to listen in the whole process?"

Li Xian smiled slightly, "Is this...it's actually very simple. I just want to tell my uncle that it's time to make a choice. If you choose too late, you might regret it!"

"What to choose!"

"Uncle, why bother to ask questions knowingly." Li Xian smiled very "mildly", "Come here, send Master Yuan down to rest."

Yuan Zhong glanced at Li Xian quietly, and suddenly said: "It's not impossible for me to choose, let's wait until you survive this crisis."

Li Xian nodded confidently: "Thank you uncle for reminding me, we have already arranged it."

Yuan Zhong was stunned, this time he was really stunned, not pretending to be stupid; Li Xian's words were too abrupt. Yuan Zhong really wanted to say: I'm just talking casually, I'm just trying to hold on and don't want to admit defeat. But listening to Li Xian's words, it seems that something else really happened.

Seeing Yuan Zhong's stare, Li Xian didn't explain it, but he felt a little complacent in his heart; it wasn't until Yuan Zhong left that Li Xian sat down again. This time, Li Xian's face became serious again, he looked at Xu Ren, Li Yuanming, and Yan Ze'an and said, "What do you think is the possibility of Jin sending troops?"

Xu Ren was the first to speak: "Ninety percent! Even if Nanyang County and others don't take the initiative to invite, Jin will send troops. Last time we rejected the opportunity for Jin to cooperate, and they will not let us go. To be precise, Jin will not Give up the plundering of our industrial technology."

Li Yuanming also said: "Jin's ambition is not small. In the last battle of the imperial capital, they sent the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army Li Lisong to watch the battle, which has exposed their ambitions. Then they sent the prime minister and the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army to go forward together." Come to visit us, on the surface it is a visit, but secretly it is a threat.

Now, Jin will definitely not give up this opportunity. It cannot be said that the Jin army has already set off. "

Yan Ze'an opened his mouth slowly, but what he said was something else: "The price of ironware and grain in the Jin Kingdom has risen slightly, and it has been maintained for a long time. Many craftsmen and skilled people have been recruited."

Li Xian nodded slightly, thoughtfully. After a dozen or so breaths, Li Xian raised his head suddenly: "Command Admiral Chang Lin to send five iron-clad ships back to the harbor to replenish supplies. In addition, place 20 of the latest four-engine aircraft on the iron-clad ships.

On land, even if we wait to block Jin's attack, we are likely to suffer heavy losses. Therefore, we attack from the sea and take cities and lands. On land, we exchanged space for time to minimize casualties and hold back the army of Jin. "
