Shangqing Sanren said: "The total number of troops in the Qilin Kingdom is 1.8 million. This does not include the number of guard troops in cities other than Qilin City. If all the soldiers from across the country are mobilized, the total number should exceed 2 million. The number of soldiers We don’t have an advantage, but we have a big advantage in terms of combat effectiveness. After all, our soldiers have all been baptized by war, and some have even experienced hundreds of battles and are rich in experience.”
Qi Feihong said: "The guards of each city cannot be moved. They are responsible for the defense and security of each city and cannot be mobilized at will. The two million troops of Yongsheng Jinxian are 200,000 more than us. We have Yuwen Xianguo. With the support of the army of the Lord and Lord Jinxing, we will not lose to the Immortal Golden Immortal. But even so, we are not sure of victory. Starting a war rashly will only cause heavy losses to the army, and the consequences are unpredictable. "
Shangqing Sanren said: "If we wait until the million-strong army newly recruited by the Immortal Golden Immortal is well trained, it will be more difficult for us to win. Lord, now is the best time to attack. If you miss it, I'm afraid it will be even harder in the future."
Qi Feihong said: "Let me think about this carefully. After all, attacking Chiyou City is not a trivial matter. Once the war starts, it will be more difficult than when we attacked Pingyi City before. The Immortal Golden Immortal gathered two million troops to garrison Chiyou City. If there are no reinforcements, we may have the strength to fight. But we must not forget that the Immortal Golden Immortal still has a million troops fighting against the king of Yu Wenxian in Xingtian City near Chiyou City. Once they abandon Xingtian City and return to defend Chiyou City, Chiyou The city's military strength will reach three million. With our current military strength, I am afraid we are no match for them."
Shangqing Sanren said: "This is very possible. After all, Chiyou City is the capital. Once the Immortal Golden Immortal orders the defenders of Xingtian City to return to defend Chiyou City, the number of enemies will indeed increase by one million, much more than our soldiers. "
Qi Feihong said: "I have already made arrangements for this matter. I believe there will be news in a few days, and we will know how to make a decision by then."
Shangqing San and Zhao Hai looked at each other and said together: "May I ask the king how to deploy it? Can you tell me?"
Qi Feihong said with a smile: "You two don't need to ask any more questions, you will know everything in a few days."
Seeing that Qi Feihong didn't want to say more and couldn't ask more questions, Shangqing San and Zhao Hai said goodbye together. When they left, both of them had doubts and confusion on their faces.
Qi Feihong did not explain much and continued to deal with various major affairs of Qilin Kingdom every day, but did not mention the reinforcement of Yu Wenxian and the sending of troops to attack Chiyou City.
Two days passed like this, Huangfu City was about to start practicing in seclusion, Qi Feihong went to help Huangfu City break through, and seemed to have forgotten to assist Yu Wenxian.
Seeing Qi Feihong's behavior, the ministers thought that Qi Feihong was determined not to help the Red Dragon Kingdom, so gradually no one mentioned the matter again.
More than a month later, during the morning court session, Li Tianxing, Minister of the Ministry of War, excitedly reported to Qi Feihong: "The king is very happy. Yesterday at midnight, a mysterious army raided the Xingtian City defenders and gained a lot. Help the king Yu Wenxian." Destroy the city.”
Qi Feihong smiled and said: "I am really happy. Mr. Li will tell you in detail so that everyone knows what is going on."
"Reporting to the Lord and all your lords, a mysterious army suddenly appeared in the barracks in the city and killed tens of thousands of the enemy troops in Xingtian City. They burned all the enemy's food, grass and weapons. They are not many in number, but they are powerful. Well-trained, he achieved great success as soon as he took action... The lord Yu Wenxian, who had been attacking the city, took the opportunity to launch a massive attack and captured Xingtian City this morning. When I went to court in the morning, I heard that the lord Yu Wenxian was commanding the army to general Xingtian. The remnants of the city's defenders were surrounded, and I think they have all been captured by now."
Qi Feihong smiled slightly, deliberately glanced at Shangqing San and Zhao Hai, and said with a smile: "It is not a mysterious army, but the Da'an Army, the elite generals of our Qilin Kingdom's Qilin Army. This army was personally selected by General Li Zheng Training, mainly responsible for gathering information, spying on military intelligence, and performing special tasks. Although they are not many in number, their combat power is amazing, and everyone can fight one against ten. This time I ordered them to secretly sneak into Xingtian City to help King Yu Wenxian. Kill the enemy and seize the city. The Da'an army achieved amazing results in the first battle, I am very pleased."
Li Tianxing said: "The emperor was reluctant to send troops to support the emperor Yu Wenxian before. Is it because he wanted to use the Da'an army to surprise the enemy?"
Qi Feihong waved his hand and said: "Before the establishment of the Da'an Army, Lord Yu Wenxian had already ordered people to come to me for help. I didn't send troops at that time, naturally it was not because of the Da'an Army. You don't need to ask more about the specific reasons. This is between me and Things between Yu Wenxian and the king..."
Although the ministers still didn't understand why Qi Feihong had been reluctant to send troops to support Yu Wenxian before, they knew that Qi Feihong had his own plans and strategies, so they didn't ask any more questions.
After Li Tianxing heard what Qi Feihong said, he continued: "May I ask the king, where is this Da'an army now? They mysteriously disappeared after they attacked the enemy in Xingtian City last night, and they have not appeared anywhere in Qilin Kingdom yet."
Qi Feihong said: "They naturally returned to General Li Zheng's camp. They are under General Li Zheng. After completing their mission, they will return and prepare to carry out new missions."
Li Tianxing said: "The Da'an Army is so powerful, why is it not commanded by the king himself? General Li Zheng commands all the troops of the Qilin Kingdom. If the Da'an Army is still commanded by General Li Zheng, wouldn't this be inappropriate?"
Qi Feihong said: "What's wrong? General Li Zheng will lead his army to attack Chiyou City tomorrow. All the troops will be handed over to his command so that they can form a joint force and defeat the Immortal Immortal in one fell swoop. There is nothing wrong with that."
Li Tianxing hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "There are some words that I should not say, but the king has handed over all the troops and horses to the command of General Li Zheng, and there is a lack of people in the army who can supervise General Li Zheng. If anything happens, , what should I do with the Qilin Kingdom, and what should I do with you, my lord? My lord, you trust General Li Zheng, but you can’t have a bottom line."
Li Tianxing spoke very directly today, with no intention of beating around the bush. He was so worried that he didn't take into account the fact that Qi Feihong was the king of the country, and his words were a little rude.
Qi Feihong said: "Don't doubt the people who are suspicious, but don't doubt the people you employ. I believe that General Li Zheng will do his best to destroy the Immortal Golden Immortal and maintain the peace of the immortal world. He will never turn it against the Qilin Kingdom or me. Mr. Li, don't do it in the future. If you doubt General Li Zheng again, if you doubt General Li Zheng, you are doubting me, do you understand?"
Li Tianxing looked a little anxious, but he still saluted and said, "I understand."
All the ministers looked at Qi Feihong. Some wanted to speak, but were stopped by the eyes or small movements of those around them. In fact, everyone can see that Qi Feihong really trusts Li Zheng, otherwise he would not have handed over all the troops and horses of the Qilin Kingdom to Li Zheng. Although Li Zheng is only the general who protects the country, he is actually equivalent to the military marshal of the Qilin Kingdom. His status and authority are much greater than that of Li Tianxing, the Minister of War.
Everyone has selfish motives, and Qi Feihong favored Li Zheng. Although some people may feel dissatisfied, there is nothing they can do about it.
The ministers were silent, and Qi Feihong said: "Tomorrow is the day when our Qilin Kingdom will send troops to Chiyou City. You must ensure the military supplies for the army. In addition, please ask the city lords of each city to prepare war supplies. This war may be delayed for a long time. By then, We need material support from various cities.”
All the ministers said in unison: "I obey the decree."
Qi Feihong stood up and walked out of the hall. As he walked, he said: "That's it for today's morning meeting. All ministers will go back to prepare for tomorrow's war. Please come with me, Imperial Preceptor. I have something that I need Imperial Preceptor's help with."
Zhao Hai was about to leave, but when he heard Qi Feihong's words, he immediately responded "I obey the order" and followed Qi Feihong. Qi Feihong left Qilin Hall and came to a brand new house in the south of Qilin Hall. He looked up at the new house without saying a word.
Zhao Hai was full of doubts. He didn't know why Qi Feihong brought him here. He couldn't help but asked: "I wonder why the king brought his ministers here?"
Qi Feihong said with a smile: "This is the new house I prepared for the Imperial Preceptor. From now on, the Imperial Preceptor will live here so that he can discuss matters with me at any time. In this new house, I have also prepared a boudoir for the Third Sister. From now on, the Third Sister will live here every day." You can all go home and accompany the Imperial Master."
Zhao Hai was greatly surprised, and he saluted and said, "Thank you so much, Lord, for the reward. I feel very honored."
Zhao Hai obviously did not expect that Qi Feihong would prepare a place for him. Apart from being pleasantly surprised, he was also extremely grateful to Qi Feihong for his attentiveness.
