"Conquer Qingzhou City in ten days?"
"Even if Zhou Zhenwen is a second-grade grandmaster, I'm afraid he can't do it, right?"
"However, Zhou Zhenwen's military training method does have merit..."
Empress Liang looked at this scene and silently memorized Zhou Zhenwen's training methods.
I have to admit that the chief minister of the cabinet is indeed a talent!
It is truly amazing!
He knows how to handle government affairs, fight for power, and greedy power and amass money, but he actually knows how to train soldiers?
"But it's still too weak to fight against Qingzhou City's 10,000 elite soldiers with a mob."
"This Zhou Zhenwen is a little too confident!"
Empress Liang Zhao was not optimistic about Zhou Zhenwen. Training troops is training troops, and commanding troops is commanding troops. Marching and fighting is another matter. People who train troops well may not be able to win battles. From ancient times to the present, there are still few people who can talk about military affairs on paper. ?
Not everyone can defeat the enemy's elite army with a mob?
This kind of God-of-War-level figure is rare throughout the ages!
She didn't think Zhou Zhenwen was such a person.
[Zhou Zhenwen: Soldiers are valuable and quick, and there is no room for delay. This Qingzhou rebellion is well known to the whole world. Not only the emperor is watching, but also many vassal kings are watching. If our attack fails, they will definitely think that the imperial court is weak, and they will inevitably feel disobedient. 】
[This battle must be fought, and it must be fought beautifully, so that feudal kings everywhere can see the power of the imperial court! 】
[Without further delay, mobilize troops immediately to enter Qingzhou and kill the rebels! 】
[Following Zhou Zhenwen’s order, 30,000 troops marched out that day and entered Qingzhou. 】
[ Along the way, they passed through various counties and counties in Qingzhou without encountering any obstacles. The defenders in various places were easily defeated. 】
[Three days later, 30,000 troops came to Qingzhou City. 】
Empress Liang Zhao looked at this scene and felt a little confident in Zhou Zhenwen.
"Perhaps the Qingzhou soldiers and horses have neglected training over the years and are not as strong as expected!"
"Although the counties and counties in various places appear to be surrendering and rising up, in fact, they are still loyal to the imperial court..."
"As long as Zhou Zhenwen can defeat the 10,000 defenders of Qingzhou City, the remaining counties will inevitably surrender to the imperial court, and the Qingzhou Rebellion will be resolved."
Empress Liang Zhao was thinking about it when the scene in front of her changed and she came to the main hall of the Qingzhou City Prefect's Mansion.
[Chen Jia, the governor of Qingzhou, was tied up and kneeling on the ground. 】
[Qingzhou Prefect Zhang Qi: Chen Jia, if you were willing to cooperate with me, how could you end up in such a situation? 】
[Chen Jia: Humph! You are a wolf-hearted person who has embezzled the imperial granary and enriched your own pockets! Seeing that the matter was exposed, he still raised troops to rebel, and seduced the county guards and county lieutenants from all over the country to rebel together and fight against the imperial court. His intention is to be punished! 】
[The imperial court has sent 30,000 troops to attack you, the traitor. Your defeat is not far away! ! 】
[Zhang Qi laughed loudly: Haha... They are just a bunch of people recruited from various places. Although there are many people, they are not coordinated well. They are just a piece of scattered sand. I have long received news that the person leading the army is a scholar. 】
[The chief minister of the cabinet, Zhou Zhenwen, is just a scholar. Can he lead an army? 】
[I can’t study, but he can’t march and fight! 】
[My soldiers in Qingzhou are elite soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles. Each of them is a master of fighting one against three. And if his 30,000 soldiers and horses march separately, they can still achieve 70% of the effect. However, he is arrogant and arrogant. Directly mobilize 30,000 people to come to Qingzhou City together, intending to catch me all in one fell swoop. 】
[In this way, the effect that can be exerted is less than 50%, and he will lose! 】
[As soon as these words came out, Chen Jia's face turned pale. He had also led troops. He knew the difficulties of leading troops. The more people, the better. The more people, the greater the requirements for the general's ability to lead the troops. Ordinary generals The number of soldiers and horses that can be mobilized is only three to five thousand. If they exceed this number, they will not be able to use their fingers. Once it exceeds 10,000 people, there may even be mutual constraints. 】
[And Zhou Zhenwen, as a civil servant, actually mobilized 30,000 troops in one go and marched without dividing the troops. This undoubtedly committed a taboo among military strategists. 】
[Chen Jia secretly cursed: The people in the Ministry of War are all idiots and confused! Let laymen take charge of experts? How can civil servants lead troops in war? Isn’t this sacrifice in vain? 】
[Chen Jia: Humph, even so, can Qingzhou, a single state, be able to resist the imperial court? Now there is an army of 30,000, and the follow-up will be an army of 100,000, and an army of 200,000. You, a traitor and a traitor, will definitely die! By then, your whole family will die, and you will be punished by the Nine Clan! 】
[Faced with Chen Jia’s curse, Zhang Qi was not afraid: Haha, the wilderness seems calm, but in fact it has been in turmoil for a long time and will perish at any time. The new emperor is young, the queen mother is coming to rule, and the eight vassal kings are ambitious, and they will all die soon. If you raise an army to cause chaos, Qingzhou will be in chaos, and the world will be in chaos. Do you think I am acting on a whim? In fact, I have been planning for today for many years! 】
[Chen Jia’s face froze: What? Have you been planning for many years? What exactly did you do? 】
[Zhang Qi: Aren’t you curious, where did I sell so much reserve grain? As a local governor, I only need to quietly devour some of the grain and grass, and with my power, I can have enough food and clothing, so why risk emptying all the grain warehouses? 】
[Suddenly, Chen Jia seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed: Sirius Dynasty? You actually sold all the grain and grass in Qingzhou to foreigners? You are crazy! You are absolutely crazy! Do you know what you are doing? 】
[Zhang Qi: Haha...of course I know what I'm doing? Isn’t it just selling food and grass to people in need? The Heavenly Wolf Kingdom promised me that after annexing the Great Wilderness, it would grant me the title of king with a different surname, and the Thirteen States would grant me the land of three states. Is this deal such a good deal? Why don't I do it? 】
[Do you think there are no people from the Sirius Dynasty in the court now? 】
[After so many years of infiltration, he has long been inserted into the Heavenly Wolf Kingdom’s hidden secrets in the court, and he holds an important position. After I take action here, he will naturally start to operate...]
[If Zhou Zhenwen hadn’t acted as a hindrance, as soon as the soldiers of Yanzhou and Xuzhou moved and the border defense troops were empty, the Tianlang Kingdom would take advantage of the situation to invade. With the help of King Yanzhou and King Xuzhou, the war would quickly burn the entire wilderness. At that time, the imperial court would still Are you interested in dealing with Qingzhou? 】
"What?"
"The rebellion in Qingzhou was actually planned in advance?"
"The Heavenly Wolf Dynasty actually secretly corrupted Qingzhou Governor Zhang Qi, and also planted a secret agent in the court, and is in a high position?"
Empress Liang Zhao's face darkened. This was far more serious than the Qingzhou Rebellion.
It actually involves two vassal kings and foreign royal courts?
"King Yanzhou, King Xuzhou, are you going to betray the wilderness? Betray your country? Betray your surname?"
Empress Liang Zhao took a deep breath, calmed down immediately, and kept recalling the information about the Sirius Dynasty in her mind.
The Heavenly Wolf Dynasty was founded only thirty years ago by the Xiongnu Chanyu Maodun. It continued to devour other tribes on the grassland. Most of the Wuwan, Xianbei, Jie, Di and Qiang tribes have been annexed by the Heavenly Wolf Kingdom. Over the years , by plundering scholars and various talents from the Great Wilderness Dynasty, the Sirius Kingdom gradually established a city-state on the grassland, began to grow food crops, and became the overlord of the grassland.
"I originally thought that the Sirius Kingdom was annexing other tribes and had no intention of plundering the Central Plains for the time being, but I didn't expect that they had already sent people to sneak into the Central Plains secretly and became important ministers in the court..."
Empress Liang Zhao felt a chill in her heart. If Zhou Zhenwen hadn't reminded her not to use the troops of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, she might have made a big mistake, ruining her ancestor's legacy and becoming a sinner for the ages.
