Chapter 500: The Taiping Army is coming


"Report, tell the king of Qi, come to the waiter to ask for a meeting.

In the palace, in the imperial study, the pro-Wei Dian Wei was telling Gao Qi who was dealing with government affairs at this time.

Lai Shilang is Lai Junchen, Bao Zheng is the secretary of the Criminal Department, but Lai Junchen is subordinate to the Department of the Criminal Department.

Lai Junchen is the squire of the supervision department, and he is responsible for detaining and examining prisoners on weekdays.

"Announce it to come in" Hearing this, Gao Qi immediately raised his head and let Dian Wei announce his in.

In fact, at this moment, when he heard that Junchen was coming, Gao Qi could figure out the purpose of Junchen's visit in person with his toes.

Some time ago, during the imperial examination, there was an assassination incident among the scholars, when Gao Qi handed over the leader of the assassins to Lai Junchen for interrogation.

Obviously, this must be the reason why Lai Junchen has already examined it clearly and came to report to Gao Qi.

After all, it is not surprising that the methods of the cool officials have invented some new means of examination With the leadership of Dian Wei, Lai Junchen slowly walked to the middle of the palace and bowed first.

"Tell King Qi that the minister has examined it clearly and learned the origin of this assassin army."

Seeing this, when there was no difference from what he guessed, Gao Qi did not have any expression, and still said indifferently: "In this case, let's tell Gu about the specific situation." ” Hearing this, Jian Jian frowned, and Lai Junchen organized the language, and said tightly: "King Qi, according to the assassin leader's confession. ” "They are dead soldiers raised by the Li family, a wealthy family in Liaocheng, and the mission they were sent out this time is to try to take advantage of the autumn imperial examination held in Daqi, waiting for an opportunity to sneak in and assassinate the king of Qi."

For a while, Li Cunxiao, who was guarding on the side, couldn't help but be furious, and suddenly said: "This group of guys who eat inside and outside are so ignorant."

"Ben will remember that when King Qi crusaded against the old thief Yuwen, he had treated the family in the city badly" "Before leaving, the king of Qi also personally appointed Hu Yi, the head of the Hu family in the city, as the Liaocheng order."

"Such an honor, these families are not grateful, and they are so rebellious and try to assassinate the king" With some angry shouting, Li Cunxiao suddenly bowed his hand to Gao Qi beside him and said; "King Qi, please approve the end of the battle."

"This time, the last general will definitely go to the north, take off the head of the head of the Li family, and come to meet the king, so as to eliminate the hatred in your heart" Seeing this, Gao Qi just sneered twice, and then waved his hand: "Keep filial piety, don't be impatient for a while" "Stand out for now."

Although Li Cunxiao was impatient, due to Gao Qi's instructions, he had to suppress his anger and retreat to the side without saying a word.

"Come to Junchen, but there are any other clues?"

Immediately after, Gao Qi was not in a hurry and asked him for other clues.

Because, Gao Qi does have a deep hatred for the wealthy family in Liaocheng.

It must be known that Zhanzhao was ordered by Gao Qi to sneak into the city, waiting for an opportunity to rebel against the popular rebellion in the city, achieve chaos, and the Qi army took the opportunity to break the city.

However, in the end, Zhanzhao used the lives of the son of the head of the Li family and the son of Hu Yi as bait to blame Yu Wenhua, angering his family and making him rebel.

Therefore, it seems that Gao Qi still has hatred with him.

Hearing this, Lai Junchen told the truth: "There are no others, this leader of the dead soldiers died violently due to excessive blood loss after giving these clues." ” "In that case, you can step back and dispose of the corpse, and then you don't have to get involved in this matter."

From the mouth of Junchen, Gao Qi learned that the leader of the dead man died of excessive blood loss, which shows that it is indeed not easy to pry open the mouth of the dead man.

Even a cool official like Lai Junchen needed to make the dead man die before he could barely pry his mouth open.

As you can imagine, the will of the dead is indeed terrifying.

As Lai Junchen retired, Gao Qi instructed Dian Wei to go and inform the Shadow Commander Zhanzhao to come.

Of course, this matter is not over yet, the Li family wants to end it after sending the dead soldier Gao Qi, how is this possible According to Gao Qi's temperament, how could he be so resigned, and how could he be worthy of the identity of the king of a country without finding out the truth.

"When the Son of Heaven is angry, millions of corpses are ambushed" This is not a casual statement.

After Zhan Zhao arrived, Gao Qiping retired everyone in the mansion, and then quietly gave Zhan Zhao a secret order.

Immediately, Zhan Zhaocai quietly left, took a team of shadow members, quietly left Gangneung City, and went straight to the north, and no one knew along the way.

"Hu Yi, Hu Yi, although it is said that for the sake of the overall situation, Lone owes his son a life debt, but Lone also appointed you as the Liaocheng Order as compensation for your family."

"Since you don't appreciate it now, then speak with strength" At this time, Gao Qi showed a cold expression, and there was only endless killing in his eyes, and he regarded all beings as ants.

After a long time of training, Gao Qi has matured and is no longer the pitiful young general he was at the beginning.

At this moment, as long as it is a threat to Daqi, or when it is his own life, Gao Qi will never show mercy.

Indeed, it is an eternal truth that the environment can change a person and forge a person.

After a few days, Gangneung City was awakened from the calm silence by a piece of information that came with it.

In the city, in the palace, at this time, Gao Qi got the news, but he suddenly summoned all the civil and military ministers to discuss.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Lone just received an urgent report from Wang Xuance, the governor of Lingnan, informing him that there was a movement in the Taiping army in the direction of Lingnan."

"At this time, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East who was firmly guarding the southern part of Lingnan, lightly carried 70,000 Taiping troops and galloped towards the hinterland of Daqi."

"Due to the lack of strength, Wang Xuance sent an urgent report, asking Lone to send reinforcements to help."

For a while, after Gao Qi saw the ministers converge, he did not hesitate, and immediately informed the ministers of the most urgent thoughts.

After all, time waits for no one now, and if there is a delay of one more moment, maybe Wang Xuance's situation will be a little more critical.

According to the information provided by the shadow forces planted by Gao Qi in the Lingnan region, in recent years, since the Taiping army has been attacked by the Qi army, it has been defeated repeatedly.

During this period of time, Hong Xiuquan accepted the deathbed order of Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, and set off a wave of military training in the territory.

After the Shadow's report, Gao Qi knew that the Taiping Army was no longer what it used to be Hearing this, Huo Quai, the general under the ranks, suddenly stood up and said: "King Qi, the thieves are rampant, the last general will take the order and lead the army to quell the rebellion." ” "This time, the Taiping rebels will be wiped out in one fell swoop, and the battle flag of our Daqi will be planted in the entire territory of Lingnan."

After the end of the imperial examination, Gao Qi also promoted Huo Qubing from the guard camp separately and listed him as a general.

Therefore, at this time, Huo Qubing learned that a strong enemy was coming, and he was eager to make meritorious contributions, so he urgently asked for battle.

In addition to today's fledgling Huo Qu's disease, there is a trend that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

Therefore, there is no fear of counterinsurgency However, considering that Huo Qubing in history was at the age of a weak crown, he repeatedly attacked the Huns, and achieved good results.

Therefore, Gao Qi did not have much of a blow to it.

Seeing this, Xue Dingshan, the young general beside him, who was also eager to try, retorted: "General Huo, don't be so confident. ” "You must know that this time the Taiping army is 70,000 troops, 100,000 troops, don't underestimate the enemy."

"Otherwise, if we attack rashly, our army will suffer a big loss."

Hearing this, all the civil and military forces at this time were impressed by Xue Dingshan, the champion of the new science and martial arts, and couldn't help but be optimistic about it, and also praised it.

Obviously, it can also be seen from this that there is a certain gap between Xue Dingshan and Huo Quzhi.

"Alas, the summoning stone is broken, otherwise Lone must test and detect the ability of Xue and Huo Erjiang."

For a while, seeing the respective performances of the two, Gao Qi couldn't help muttering to himself.

Indeed, the ability and style shown by the second general at this time are obvious, Xue Dingshan's personality is calm, not impetuous, and after several years of training, he will definitely be the new handsome talent.

However, Gao Qi vaguely remembered that Huo Quzhi's commander was higher than Xue Dingshan, what was going on "Lone remembers that the summoning stone said that the data of the five dimensions is only used as a reference, and it is not immutable."

"This should be in the database, Huo Quzhi's record has added points to it, but in fact there is no such a high commander."

Due to the breakdown of the summoning stone, Gao Qi could only speculate in his heart, otherwise there would be no other reasonable speculation.

Seeing this, Gao Qi stopped the argument between the two and said, "Don't fight, this war with the rebels must be protracted." ” "It won't end so easily, the rebels have been living in Lingnan for a long time, and it's time for the whole line to attack on all fronts, recover the Lingnan region in one fell swoop, and completely avoid the aftermath of Daqi."

"Originally, I didn't know what excuse to use to recover Lingnan, but I didn't expect the rebels to take the initiative to attack."

For a while, with Gao Qi's few words, all the ministers under the rank realized that Gao Qi, the king of Qi, was going to move seriously this time.

It seems that it is not just the self-defense campaign of the Qi State, but the active attack of the pacification of Lingnan.

This is the truest thought in the hearts of all the ministers of civil and military affairs at this time. only said that at this time, Liu Bowen, who was the head of the hundred officials, couldn't help but take the lead in standing up and saying: "King Qi, do you really want to pacify the Lingnan region first?"

"According to Weichen's understanding, in Lingnan, the jungle almost runs through it, and the forest is almost in the primitive deep forest."

"Not only are the roads blocked by thorns, but there are even many poisonous snakes, beasts, and other wild beasts among them."

"The most important thing is that because the Lingnan region is in the southernmost part of China, its economy is extremely depressed, but our army will have any benefit to pacify the south of the Yangtze River."

"Therefore, Weichen proposed that I should first focus on defense of Lingnan, and after pacifying Jiangnan, I will mobilize a large army to pacify Lingnan in one fell swoop."

Originally, the ministers were not very clear about the topography of Lingnan, but with Liu Bowen's explanation.

However, the ministers also felt how harsh the topography of the Lingnan region was.

The key is that this place is still like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it Immediately, for a while, all the ministers of civil and military affairs couldn't help but admonish one after another, and they all echoed Liu Ji's proposal, first pacifying Jiangnan.

Seeing this, Gao Qi couldn't help laughing, and then slowly explained: "All Aiqing, let's be exempt" "Ladies and gentlemen, you have only seen the total difficulties and dangers in the Pingling South Region."

"But why don't you think about it the other way around, what are the advantages of pacifying Lingnan?"

Suddenly, Gao Qi did not immediately say what he thought, but raised his subordinate martial arts step by step.

Hearing Gao Qi's words, all the ministers couldn't help but fall into doubts for a moment, and they all thought about it.

"Advantages, what are the advantages of pacifying Lingnan, isn't it chicken ribs for Qi State, why do you still have advantages?"

This is the truest portrayal of the hearts of the ministers today, and most of them do not know what advantages they have.

In fact, it is the current situation that limits their imagination.

They must not have imagined that this area of Lingnan could be said to have created much of an economy for China in later generations, and it was the first choice for foreign investment in China.

Moreover, many areas in Lingnan have been developed into tourist areas in later generations, providing much economic income for China every year.

Not to mention, after pacifying Lingnan, as long as the Qi army vigorously expands the gallop road, it will be in Yangzhou at that time.

The Qi army stationed in Lingnan will be able to take the opportunity to go north and echo with the main force south of Pingjiangnan, which will definitely catch Jiangdong's anti-king off guard After thinking for a long time, Liu Renliang, who was born in Xinke, couldn't help but stand up and arched his hand: "King Qi, Weichen has come up with some ideas, I don't know if I can put them forward."

Hearing this, Gao Qi suddenly smiled and said: "Of course, the lonely Daqi is to speak freely, and if you have a good opinion, you will be able to put it forward."

For a while, after getting Gao Qi's approval, Liu Renliang was a little excited, and he had to put forward his own opinions after making small-scale preparations.

"Your Majesty, ministers, I thought about it slowly just now, and I understood the benefits of our army to pacify Lingnan."

"Actually, pacifying Lingnan is still relatively speaking, and there are still certain benefits."

"It is precisely because Lingnan is located in the south that after our army sweeps away the Bang rebels and pacifies them, this place can form the rear of our army."

"This move can not only make the threat to the rear of our army suddenly dissipate, but also liberate more elites and pull them to the forefront for pacifying Jiangnan."

"In addition, due to the dense jungle around Lingnan, there will be no longer a threat."

"Since Lingnan can support all the needs of the rebels for several years, then imagine that after our army is pacified and vigorously developed, Lingnan is very likely to become a grain and grass supply place like Bashu."

Suddenly, Liu Renliang's words suddenly amazed the ministers present.

For a while, even Liu Ji, who raised an objection, couldn't help but be speechless and did not immediately object.

However, Liu Renliang's proposal also led a new idea for everyone, and then, everyone's thinking diverged again.

Among them, Fan Zhongyan said slowly after thinking about it: "King Qi, drown on the basis of General Liu to add a point." ” "That is, after our army pacifies Lingnan, it will definitely need to garrison troops here."

"As far as Yan knows, Longchuan County in the eastern part of Lingnan is adjacent to Jian'an County in Yangzhou."

"That being the case, when our army launches the unification of Jiangdong, the Lingnan direction can also lead the army to the north, attack Yangzhou in the north, and join the main force of our army."

"This move can be regarded as opening up a new front, and when we are besieged from all sides, we will unify Jiangdong, and it will definitely be like a bamboo."

As the saying goes: a good man has three gangs, and a fence has three piles.

Now it seems that this is indeed the truth, and Liu Renliang first put forward his own opinions.

With the analysis of this line of thought, Fan Zhongyan also found the benefits again.

It can be seen that as a monarch and the helmsman, it is really desirable to not only need to be wise and martial, but also to be good at giving full play to the enthusiasm of everyone under his command.

With the proposal of Liu Renliang and Fan Zhongyan, the rest of the ministers came up with suggestions for a while, adding new ideas for attacking Lingnan.

Subsequently, Gao Qi was in a good mood, and couldn't help but say slowly: "Berwyn, now you have also heard the benefits of pacifying Lingnan first."

"What do you think about it now?"

It is only said that Liu Bowen has no other opinions at this time, but Xuan Ling, the scholar of the Ministry of War, raised a question.

"King Qi, General Liu's thinking is indeed strange, this is indeed a good plan."

"However, the problem now is that the rebels have lived in Lingnan for a long time, and they must have been accustomed to the local climate and environment."

"But our army has no resistance to the climate and geographical environment of the Lingnan region."

"I'm afraid that if we attack rashly, our army will not be defeated by military strength, but by climate."

Suddenly, Fang Xuanling raised a new problem.

Indeed, the climate in the Lingnan region is indeed a big problem, and throughout the ages, how many Central Plains armies have failed to march south.

It is hardly a military problem, but a local geographical environment, as well as factors that do not adapt to the climate and water and soil.

However, if this were someone else, I am afraid it would be really difficult.

But who is Gao Qi, that is the traverser, this problem has been solved long before the imperial examination.

Hearing this, Gao Qi said slowly: "Ministers, don't worry, for Fang Shangshu's problem, Gu already has a solution." ” "In this southern expedition, Daqi will win" For a while, Gao Qi was full of anger and directly asserted that his army would win.

In the face of the harsh Lingnan region, what is Gao Qi's solution, and the great turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty called :
