Qi Feihong's trip was quite fruitful, and he felt a little happy. He still had things to do, so he said goodbye to the Sanren of Shangqing: "Master, my disciple has said goodbye. After returning, we should solve the problems raised by the master as soon as possible so that Qilin Kingdom can develop better."
Shangqing Sanren nodded slightly and sent Qi Feihong away personally, but left behind Dongfang Qing and Dongfang Chi who came with Qi Feihong. One of the reasons why Qi Feihong came to Shangqing Sanren was to settle Dongfang Qing and Dongfang Chi. Seeing that Shangqing Sanren took the initiative to keep the two of them, he didn't ask any more questions. It was good anyway.
The next day, Qi Feihong proposed a series of new policies in the court hall and discussed and agreed with the ministers. After gaining the approval of most people, he ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel to jointly formulate the new policies. Subsequently, a series of new policies were promulgated, and Qi Feihong issued an edict, ordering all subjects of the Qilin Kingdom to strictly abide by the new policies. This ushered in a new era of national laws and regulations in the Qilin Kingdom.
A few days later, Li Zheng recovered from his injuries and petitioned for a fight. He wanted to attack Pingyi City again and avenge the first battle. Li Zheng promised that he would capture Pingyi City quickly this time and asked Qi Feihong to give him a chance.
After Qi Feihong received Li Zheng's letter of invitation, he did not hesitate and ordered an attack on the spot. Li Zheng was still the commander-in-chief and led a million troops to attack Pingyi City.
On the day Li Zheng attacked Pingyi City for the second time, Yu Wenxian sent a battle report. While thanking Qi Feihong for sending troops to support him in repelling the enemies who invaded Shente City, Yu Wenxian showed his goodwill to Qi Feihong and was willing to send fifty soldiers. Ten thousand troops set out from Shente City to attack Feilian City and disperse the forces of the Immortal Golden Immortal. This could be regarded as a helping hand to Qi Feihong and repay Qi Feihong's kindness in sending troops to support him.
Qi Feihong received Yu Wenxian's battle report and did not alert anyone else. Instead, he discussed directly with the new prime minister Shangqing Sanren and the national counselor Zhao Hai. Shangqing San and Zhao Hai agreed that Yu Wenxian's move was not to help the war, but to take the opportunity to occupy Feilian City and expand his territory. Qi Feihong was well aware of Yu Wenxian's plan, but he had no objection. Instead, he advised Shangqing San and Zhao Hai not to take it to heart. After all, the elimination of the Immortal Golden Immortal was the top priority, and everything else was unimportant.
Qi Feihong personally replied to Yu Wenxian, thanking Yu Wenxian for sending troops to help, and also hinted to Yu Wenxian that as long as Yu Wenxian captured Feilian City, Feilian City would belong to the Chilong Kingdom.
Yu Wenxian received Qi Feihong's reply and was very happy to see what Qi Feihong meant. He doesn't dare to offend Qi Feihong yet. If he wants to occupy Feilian City, he really needs Qi Feihong's permission.
Qi Feihong is different from the past. He is no longer the lord of Feihu City who relies on others, but the dominant lord of the Qilin Kingdom. Yu Wenxian neither dares nor can offend Qi Feihong.
In view of this, Qi Feihong personally gave Jin Xing his credentials and asked Jin Xing to lead troops to the expedition. Qi Feihong also promised Jin Xing that as long as the cities captured by Jin Xing would all belong to Jin Xing's Feixian Kingdom, Qilin Kingdom would never get involved.
Jin Xing received the credential and personally gave it to Qi Feihong. The credential thanked Qi Feihong for his kindness, but he insisted on helping Qilin to capture Pingyi City first, and then withdraw the soldiers of Feixian Kingdom. He led the attack on other cities of the Immortal Golden Immortal. After all, Jin Xing is more loyal and understands the overall situation. Compared with Yu Wenxian, Jin Xing's thoughts are different.
After the three kings discussed it, they each sent out troops according to the results of the discussion. Qilin Kingdom and Feixian Kingdom still joined forces to attack Pingyi City, while Chilong Kingdom sent out troops to attack Feilian City alone.
The armies of the Three Kingdoms were dispatched with an astonishing momentum, and the Immortal Golden Immortal had naturally received the news. The Immortal Golden Immortal also learned the lesson this time, and deployed an army of 600,000 in Feilian City, waiting for Yu Wenxian's army to arrive, and wanted to eat Yu Wenxian's army first.
Easier first and then more difficult, Yongsheng Jinxian changed his tactics. He was no longer anxious to fight to the death with the Qilin Kingdom. Instead, he thought about killing Yu Wenxian's army first, and then concentrated all his forces to fight the Qilin Kingdom.
There are many soldiers under the command of Yongsheng Jinxian. Although he divided his troops to fight Yu Wenxian, there are still a million troops guarding Pingyi City. He was very aware of the importance of Pingyi City. He knew that once Pingyi City was breached, he would lose his first line of defense and his morale would definitely suffer a huge blow.
Each city of the Immortal Golden Immortal is guarded by an army of 300,000 people, which is a lot of people. However, many of these armies are the original defenders of small cities. Their strength varies, and they lack enough time to train and adapt, so their combat effectiveness is not very high.
Among every city in the North Kingdom, only the army of the Immortal Golden Immortal's relatives has the strongest combat effectiveness, and it is also the main force guarding the city. Such an army is composed of demon cultivators and is known as the undefeated army.
Previously, in order to defend Pingyi City, the Immortal Golden Immortal transferred all the defenders of Yinlingzi City and Shentu City near Pingyi City to Pingyi City. Now Shente City is occupied by Yu Wenxian, and Yinlingzi City is also occupied. The Qilin Kingdom army broke through. He knew that there was something wrong with his deployment and had changed his deployment.
Immortal Jinxian left the defenders of Shentu City in Pingyi City, but withdrew the defenders of Yinlingzi City to garrison in Yinlingzi City to prevent Yinlingzi City from being breached again. At the same time, Yongsheng Jinxian transferred the 300,000 defenders of Yulei City north of Pingyi City to Pingyi City to garrison. He also transferred 200,000 soldiers from his relatives' army into Pingyi City, bringing the number of defenders in Pingyi City to 1.1 million.
The total number of siege troops led by Li Zheng was about 1.3 million. In addition to Li Zheng's own third army of one million soldiers, there were 300,000 Feixian Kingdom soldiers sent by Jin Xing to support Qilin Kingdom. The other armies of the Qilin Kingdom did not participate in the war this time, and were either transferred to various cities to garrison, or returned directly to Qilin City to obey Qi Feihong's orders.
This was Qi Feihong's deployment, and it was also recognized by Li Zheng. Qi Feihong and Li Zheng seemed to have conspired on a major event. The task of attacking the city was entirely handed over to Li Zheng's Third Army and Jin Xing's 300,000-strong army.
Huangfu Xiaoming's 200,000 soldiers of the Fourth Army were stationed in various cities in Qilin except Qilin City, but the main force was transferred to Huancheng not far from Qingcheng, facing Yinlingzi City. It seemed that Be ready to attack Yinlingzi City at any time.
Huangfu Yun's 200,000 soldiers of the Fifth Army returned directly to Qilin City and rested in the military camp of Qilin City, ready to be dispatched by Qi Feihong at any time.
Xuannv Yuqing, Chi Yan and other people who went to rescue Li Zheng also returned to Qilin City. They were immediately recruited into the palace by Qi Feihong and sent everyone away. The monarch and his ministers discussed together for a long time and then left together. The King's Mansion went directly to the Fifth Army.
The commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army, Huangfu Yun, then issued a military order for all soldiers to rest for three days. After three days, they took over the First Army to guard Qilin City. From then on, the Fifth Army became the outer garrison of Qilin City and became the first line of defense of Qilin City.
The first army was led by Chi Yan and sent troops to fly to the fairyland. The First Army went to Feixian Kingdom not to attack Feixian Kingdom, but to borrow a path from Feixian Kingdom to do a big thing. This was naturally approved by King Jin Xing. Otherwise, if one hundred thousand monsters from the First Army entered Feixian Kingdom, Jin Xing would definitely send troops to intercept them.
On the evening of the second day after the first army set off, Li Zheng sent someone to report the battle. The third army attacked Pingyi City. Just like the first time, it encountered strong resistance from Pingyi City. After several days of continuous attack, it was still unable to conquer Pingyi City. Take it. However, this time Li Zheng's soldiers suffered few casualties. Since the siege, the total number of casualties was only a few thousand. In contrast, they killed over 10,000 enemy soldiers and unexpectedly captured an enemy night raiding force of 5,000 people.
The Immortal Golden Immortal was really difficult to deal with. After the war broke out, he sent people to attack Li Zheng's military camp at night with the intention of assassinating Li Zheng. Fortunately, Li Zheng was also well versed in military affairs and had prepared himself early, so there was no accident.
Qi Feihong seemed to have expected that Li Zheng would not win easily this time, and was not surprised. Instead, he told the envoy to tell Li Zheng after he returned, telling Li Zheng not to be anxious, as long as he attacked the city every day and made the enemy exhausted. Just fine.
Since victory cannot be achieved quickly, then proceed steadily, weakening the enemy's strength step by step, and then slowly take advantage of it.
When dealing with such a powerful enemy as the Immortal Golden Immortal, one must not be in a hurry, otherwise it may give the Immortal Golden Immortal a chance and make oneself doomed. Understanding this, Qi Feihong and others will no longer think about ending the battle quickly in the future, but will slowly and step by step deal with the powerful enemy of the Immortal Golden Immortal.
