Chapter 336 The Tree Falls and the Hozen Scatteres

After Li Wei said "learn the art of war with Yan Zhengqing", he was waiting triumphantly for Yan Zhengqing to be "overjoyed". He didn't want Yan Zhengqing to ask back so plainly, and he was a little unhappy immediately, "Isn't it because I want to see Yan Da for myself? Is it handsome to lead troops in combat?

In addition, I also want to ask Marshal Yan to move; this war is very important, and failure is not allowed, so I want to ask Marshal Yan to give advice. I wonder if Marshal Yan is willing to surrender? "

Hearing this, Yan Zhengqing really couldn't laugh or cry, "I said, Your Highness, you are not only borrowing money to borrow weapons, but now you are also borrowing handsome men. I don't know if there is a loan or not?"

"Ha, if Marshal Yan is willing, I'll go talk to Brother Xian and ask him to let him go."

Can't you hear me being sarcastic? Yan Zhengqing finally saw Li Wei's self-consciousness. I could only sigh, "His Royal Highness, it is right to assist from the side, and it is also Yan Zhengqing's honor. When the war is over, welcome Your Highness to Anyang as a guest (I still want to return to Anyang)."

"It's easy to say." Li Wei didn't know if he heard Yan Zhengqing's voice, "We have prepared 200,000 elite soldiers, and another 200,000 civilian husbands.

Among the 200,000 elite soldiers, 50,000 are in the foundation-building stage, and all of them have practiced the Ten Thousand Swords Formation and the Eight Desolation Liuhe Tiangang Formation. And everyone is equipped with a magic weapon level flying sword.

The remaining 150,000 are all above the seventh floor of the Qi refining period. All armies have no shortage of ammunition, etc.

Two hundred thousand civilians..."

"Get rid of the 200,000 civilian husbands, the situation of the war has changed." Yan Zhengqing cut off Li Wei's words without mercy. Yan Zhengqing, who has entered the "commander state", only has military in his eyes.

Li Wei asked seriously this time: "Without civilian husbands, how can we transport supplies?"

"Businessman!" Yan Zhengqing's eyes brightened, "The civilian husband is recruited after all, and he is not willing to do so. But it will be different if the merchant is responsible. The speed and capacity of the merchant's material transportation are definitely better than that of the civilian husband, because it is profitable. At the same time, the trophies obtained on the battlefield, etc., can be disposed of on the spot to the merchants, reducing the burden on the army. With less gold, the soldiers can carry three to five more bullets.

Don't underestimate the abilities of the merchants, Anyang has the most say on this point. "

Li Wei frowned slightly, "In this case, we must give up the profit to the businessman."

"No, no, no, Your Highness didn't figure it out clearly. What is the greatest benefit of the army? Is it a spoil of war? No! The greatest benefit of the army is victory and conquering the city! As long as Cai is defeated, the benefit given to the merchants is really a drop in the bucket !

What's more, soldiers don't need to carry loot with them, they can carry more weapons, ammunition, pills, etc., to increase their combat capabilities. Cooperating with businessmen is much better than recruiting civilian husbands.

Moreover, once the national material reserves are in an emergency, they can also be purchased directly from merchants. Can you use a civilian husband to do this?

And without the burden of civilian husbands, the marching speed is faster, and it is even possible to disappear. "

"But in this case, wouldn't the army have to carry a lot of gold and silver with them?"

Yan Zhengqing smiled, and took out a piece of exquisite paper from his pocket, "Jiaozi issued by Anyang Bank, this light Jiaozi is worth 10,000 taels of gold, and it is fixed."

Li Wei rolled his eyes, "Why do I feel like this is a trap. Well, well, the situation of the war has indeed changed, so I'll go back and dismiss the civilians and let the businessmen take over. Fortunately, the war has just started, and it's not too late. "

"Wait," Yan Zhengqing stopped Li Wei who was about to run away, "After returning, send a plane to drop leaflets, fully disclose Cai Guo's recent failures, and damage Cai Guo's confidence. Of course, don't forget to publicize, properly exaggerate our achievements, combat capabilities, etc., especially to declare that "surrender is not stupid".

I believe that as long as this one is done well, at least half of Cai Guo's confidence in fighting can be disintegrated! "

"Not bad, what kind of spiritual tactics is this?"

"Psychological tactics!" Yan Zhengqing corrected.

"Yes, yes, Marshal Yan knows more. It seems that I really have to learn from Marshal Yan."

Seeing the back of Li Wei leaving, Yan Zhengqing held his forehead helplessly, "They are all brothers, why is the gap so big? By the way, Li Wei is so 'lively', how did he lead the army?"

…………

But Li Wei reported the situation in Anyang to Li Yulong and many generals after he returned, and also started printing leaflets. Less than two hours after returning to Tang country, a plane from Tang country set off, dropping countless leaflets from the sky.

There are not many words in the leaflet, but it said a lot of things: Cai's 500,000 invading army was wiped out, and Anyang has launched revenge; compared the arms and armaments of Anyang, Tang and Cai; and emphasized the corruption of Kumuling's armament , Five hundred golden elixir masters were captured. And guarantee that the surrender will not be killed.

Propaganda was going on in the front, and the Tang and Anyang armies in the back began to move out, advancing by leaps and bounds. Wherever they went, the unprepared local forces of Cai State had almost no ability to resist. Even if there is an occasional obstacle, it will collapse under the attack of the concentrated fire attack or the attack of the Ten Thousand Swords Formation.

After marching for more than 80 kilometers in half a day, they arrived at the first strategically important place in Cai State, the seat of Huairen County, and took it in less than half an hour-the county guards all ran away. The army rested for a while and continued to move forward.

At the same time, Xiao Guo and Xiao Liming also led 200,000 elites to drive straight in. Don't look at Xiao Liming's disadvantages from Li Xian, but Xiao Guo, which is supported by Anyang's basic industry, has a lot of advantages against Cai Guo. The somewhat corrupt Cai State's frontier defense army was completely unable to stop the wolves and tigers of Xiao State's army. The cannon set fire twice, and Cai Guo's frontier defense collapsed.

A total of 700,000 elite troops from Anyang, Tang, and Xiao invaded the territory of Cai.

Anyang's 70,000 people, including 50,000 in the foundation building period and 20,000 mechanics, are advancing all the way; under the leadership of Yan Zhengqing, the army is simply "an old horse knows the way", where there are dangers, where detours are needed, whoever has conflicts, and will not be rescued at the meeting, etc. Everything is under Yan Zhengqing's control.

Tang State, with an army of 200,000, fully adopted Yan Zhengqing's suggestion and contracted out all the transportation of materials to businessmen, so the 200,000 army was a light battle. After not having to worry about the transportation of grain, grass, and military supplies, the army galloped across the land of Cai State like wild horses running wild.

Sometimes gather, sometimes disperse, encircle the point to fight for aid, point east and west, lure the enemy and confuse the enemy, etc. Tactics are all used. Of course, he did not forget to give full play to the power of arms. Cai Guo, who lost his border defense, was completely exhausted.

But no matter how the troops are divided, the 200,000 troops will always take care of each other, and there will be no situation where the troops cannot be reunited after the division.

And the merchants who took over the logistics for the first time squeezed out all the strength to keep up with the marching speed!

Xiao Guo, in addition to the 200,000 elites, there are 300,000 ordinary soldiers, hundreds of thousands of civilian husbands and so on. Different from Anyang and Tang, Xiao has been in business for a long time and has a large population. Xiao Liming is able to send enough soldiers to fight. Therefore, Xiao Guo's tactics are completely different from Tang Guo's tactics.

Xiao Liming marched in person, and the main force advanced straight forward, flying towards Cai's capital, Shangyong City, like a sharp arrow.

And the captured city, etc., was directly thrown to the army behind. In this way, the attack speed was rapid. When night fell, Xiao Liming's army had advanced more than 150 kilometers.

…………

The bad news continued to spread to Cai's palace. One after another……

"Crack!" Emperor Cai Guo clapped the dragon case, "There is no good news!"

"Report..." Another messenger came.

"Stop!" Emperor Cai waved his hand to stop the report, "If it's good news, just say it, if it's bad news, don't speak."

While the soldier delivering the letter hesitated, Huang Fu grabbed the letter and looked at it; his expression changed drastically. But the next moment, Huang Fu tidied up his clothes and solemnly walked in front of the emperor, "Your Majesty, this time it's good news. But the good news is mixed with some bad news."

Seeing Huang Fu, Emperor Cai Guo was furious now, "Let me tell you the good news first."

"The good news is that some generals and officials who are not firm in their will have begun to waver; and some generals and officials who are loyal to His Majesty have begun to emerge. At such a moment, it is time to take the opportunity to remove the dirt and keep the essence. If we can seize this opportunity right now, we can reverse it in one fell swoop. Cai Guo’s decline in the past ten years.”

"Heh..." Emperor Cai didn't know whether to cry or laugh, "Is the bad news that a large number of officials and generals are preparing to surrender? Many aristocratic families have already started secretly communicating with foreign countries?"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Hmph! Tell me, what is it?"

Huang Fu finally breathed a sigh of relief, His Majesty's anger finally passed temporarily. "Your Majesty, Tang Guo used the plane to drop leaflets. The leaflet information is as follows."
