Chapter 1749: Qi Jiguang Suppresses the Japanese (Part 2)
After defending Zhou Yu for a while, Li Jing knelt down on one knee again, clasped his fists and apologized: "My lord, it's all my fault that the general brought out all the main forces of Qingbei, so this situation happened."
Qin Hao quickly helped Li Jing up and said softly: "Zhou Yu didn't guard Qingbei well. What does it have to do with you, Li Jing?"
But looking at it this way, in the absence of the main force, Zhou Yu only relied on a group of reorganized troops to not only defend the long coastline, but also resist the attacks of the Japanese pirates who were not weak in combat. . "
Hearing this, Li Jing stood up and breathed a sigh of relief, while Qin Hao continued: "It seems that the Qingbei bandit suppression is at a stalemate, mainly because the army is not strong enough and lacks elite soldiers. In this case, how can we The king will give Zhou Yu enough elites."
Speaking of this, Qin Hao couldn't help but feel something in his heart. He also had Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general under his command.
Qin Hao had too many talents, especially in terms of commanders, so that after Qi Jiguang joined his command, he never had the opportunity to display his talents, so how could he be missing in this war against Japan?
Of course, the most important thing is that Qi Jiguang is famous for his resistance to Japanese pirates. He may have unique skills in dealing with Japanese pirates, so naturally he should be given a chance to show off.
By the way, where is Qi Jiguang now?
Qin Hao, who really couldn't remember, immediately asked: "Where is Qi Jiguang now?"
Everyone present did not expect that Qin Hao's thoughts were so distracted. The last sentence was still talking about Japanese pirates and Zhou Yu, but the next sentence jumped to the unrelated Qi Jiguang.
"My lord, before the war started, you personally appointed Qi Jiguang as the rear grain road supervisor, in charge of the transportation of grain and grass between the river and the two places, and Qi Jiguang did not disappoint my lord's expectations.
During the Jizhou War, the Northern Han Dynasty sent small troops to harass our army's food routes many times, but they were all wiped out by Qi Jiguang. None of our army's food and grass were burned by the enemy. "
Bai Qi, who was in charge of the war in Jizhou, first reported Qi Jiguang's whereabouts, and then told about his achievements in this battle.
"Oh, I remembered it."
Hearing Bai Qi's words, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Qin Hao's face, and then he ordered in a deep voice: "Change Cheng Yaojin to the rear grain road supervisor, and ask Qi Jiguang to come to Northern Hebei quickly."
Cheng Yaojin made great achievements in capturing Jushou alive, and he also made considerable achievements in the process of capturing Han Xin, so he was naturally qualified to be the grain inspector.
After hearing the appointment, all the generals present were surprised. After all, Qi Jiguang came to Hejian at this time, obviously to let him lead the army to support Zhou Yu, but they did not understand why their lord chose Qi Jiguang, who was not well-known.
Not only them, Qi Jiguang, who was escorting grain and grass from the rear, was also shocked when he suddenly received the appointment, and did not understand why the lord chose him.
Logically speaking, when leading the army to support Qingbei, he would not be a grain inspector. After all, there were many generals on the front line, and he was not conspicuous among them, but this pie hit him.
Although Qi Jiguang was puzzled, he would not miss this rare opportunity. After handing over the affairs to his adjutant, he immediately rode a fast horse and rushed towards the river.
Since the Qin army's territory was all along the way, Qi Jiguang arrived at Lecheng County, Hejian Governor's Office, in less than two days, and met with Qin Hao immediately.
"The last general, Qi Jiguang, pays homage to the lord."
Looking at the dusty Qi Jiguang below, Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction, but the system prompt box appeared in his eyes, and then he showed a slight look of surprise.
[Qi Jiguang: Commander 97, Force 98 (+2), Intelligence 89, Politics 85, Charisma 96. Equipment: Mighty Water Gun, Curly Blood Horse. 】
Naturally, Qin Hao asked the envoy to bring this curly Han blood horse as a reward to Qi Jiguang. Otherwise, how could he have arrived in Hejian from Bingzhou in only two days.
What really surprised Qin Hao was that Qi Jiguang was guarding the grain road in the rear. Logically speaking, there had been no battle, but his force was still increased by one point. This shows that he still has great potential that has not been explored.
"Yuan Jing (Qi Jiguang's cousin), you don't have to be polite. You did a very good job guarding our army's food road and repelling dozens of enemy attacks. So this time, I decided to hand over the task of leading the army to support Qingbei and encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates." I'll lead the army for you." Qin Hao said with a smile.
A trace of surprise flashed across Qi Jiguang's face. He obviously didn't expect that his lord would know his cousin's name. When he heard what he said, he immediately said in a sonorous voice: "Qi Jiguang will certainly live up to lord's expectations. If the Japanese pirates cannot be wiped out, Qingbei will have a better future." The people take revenge and are willing to kill themselves to thank the world."
Qi Jiguang's confidence and determination made Qin Hao very satisfied, so he smiled and ordered: "Qi Jiguang obeys the order. I order you to lead 5,000 elite cavalry and 25,000 elites, a total of 30,000 troops, to Qingbei to support Zhou Yuqing in suppressing the Japanese pirates." , there must be no mistake.”
"No." Qi Jiguang responded with his fists clasped.
I have to say that Qin Hao is still very powerful. Zhou Yu only wanted 10,000 elite soldiers, but he sent Zhou Yu 30,000, as well as Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general.
The reason why no other generals were sent there was because Qingbei not only had Jintai, but also the Five Tigers of Liangshan, and the general lineup had already crushed the Japanese pirates. Therefore, the support for Zhou Yu this time was mainly based on elite troops.
Of course, the 30,000 anti-Japanese elites that Qi Jiguang wanted to take away could not be mobilized from Hejian. After all, the 180,000 troops in Hejian would soon fight against Youzhou, so these 30,000 troops could only be mobilized from Wei County.
There are 80,000 garrison troops in Wei County. Even if 30,000 troops are transferred, there will still be 50,000 troops guarding them, and they will still be safe.
After finalizing the matter of aiding Qingbei, Qin Hao was no longer distracted by the Japanese pirates. In his opinion, this Japanese pirate attack could only be regarded as a minor trouble.
With the combination of Zhou Yu and Qi Jiguang, as well as 30,000 elites in hand, if they still can't deal with the 10,000 Japanese pirates, then these two people should resign as soon as possible.
The 180,000 Qin troops in Hejian were very tired after months of fighting in Jizhou, so they had to be reorganized before they could join the battle in Youzhou.
Of course Qin Hao also knew this, so he did not rush to advance the army, but he did not want to cause trouble in Yecheng behind him before that.
"My Lord, the Yecheng Heavenly Prison was robbed by a group of mysterious people. The captured Zhao King Yuan Tan and Ma Shanwei were also robbed."
Hearing this, Qin Hao frowned slightly. It didn't matter that Yuan Tan was kidnapped, but his plan to reorganize Zhao's troops might have been delayed.
"Can you find out who did it?" Qin Hao asked.
"I don't know the identity yet, but the strongest one among those who came here has the strength of a grandmaster level, and the martial arts he uses is the Yuan family's "Tiangang Jue"."
"Tiangang Jue? Is it Yuan Tiangang?"
A glint flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, and he was shocked and said: "He actually broke through the Grandmaster."
