After seeing the sun again, everyone's emotions were hard to calm down for a long time, and they cried again when they saw the former government office.
Qi Yuan jumped off the carriage and An Jiu pushed open the door of the government office.
Because the mansion is the residence of Goha, the Mongolian guard, it is kept very neat and tidy, and the wealth of the entire Ancheng is also gathered here.
Money, food, weapons, clothing.
These are all things that Qi Yuan needs to sort out and calculate.
Without the Mongolian soldiers in the city, the mansions occupied by the officers also need to be inventoried.
How much material is left in the huge Anseong? This is a large amount of work.
Qi Yuan couldn't help but glance at Lin Jing when he walked into the government office.
Lin Jing knew Qi Yuan's eyes well, put down the tea cup and smiled calmly.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, Jing Jing is fine and you can start sorting things out today."
Qi Yuan smiled and faced Lin Jing, "There is no need to rush, everyone needs to recuperate.
Anseong now only needs to isolate Wulimu's audio-visual cultivation.
Winter is coming, and General Lin Li on the front line will counterattack soon. "
Hearing this, Lin Jing roughly guessed Qi Yuan's plan. Wulimu's rear was cut off, and the frontline battle situation would inevitably be damaged due to lack of supplies.
The second uncle will also seize the opportunity to attack. If the border troops go well, they may be able to trap Ulimu to death this winter.
This is indeed the best choice for them who are short of people to cultivate and recuperate.
"His Highness plans to deliver the final blow to Ulimu in Ancheng."
Facing Lin Jing's statement, Qi Yuan nodded in response.
"If everything goes well, the war will begin in winter."
Lin Jing frowned slightly. It would be difficult to block Wulimu's retreat without any soldiers in Ancheng.
"Four months is not a long time. If we want to block the retreat of the Mongolian army, our manpower can use the terrain of Ancheng to cut off the retreat of the army in advance with huge rocks.
Fuhu Mountain is the main road between Ancheng and other border towns, and can block the retreat there. "
Lin Jing dipped her fingertips in tea and drew the topography of Fuhu Mountain.
"I will write a letter with my second uncle to ask the border troops to cooperate to force the Mongolian soldiers into the valley, and then the Mongolian soldiers will be trapped here and die in the winter."
Qi Yuan nodded, this is indeed a good place for siege.
"Each of the nine border cities has dangerous passes. Even if the Mongolian army is short of food and relies on the dangerous passes, it will take time for the border troops to break through the city.
If Fuhu Mountain is completely cut off, what will the Mongolian army without food in the Nine Cities eat? "
Qi Yuan didn't say any more, but Lin Jing had already thought of it.
Can eat people.
The surviving people in the Nine Cities will become food rations for the Mongolian army. In desperate situations, the Mongolian army will not talk about human ethics.
If this tactic is used, the city must be broken quickly like Qi Yuan attacking An City.
But compared to the loose Anjo, Urimu on the front line is not mediocre.
Lin Jing wiped off the tea stains on the table.
"It's Jing's lack of thinking."
It's just that Anseong's defense really has no other capital to set up an ambush besides relying on the border troops.
Lin Jing frowned slightly and continued to speak.
"The people in the city may have a chance to survive by leaving a way for Ulimu to retreat to the grassland, but the Mongolian army is so ferocious that they may set fire to massacre and destroy the city when they leave the city.
As a result, it is difficult to protect the people in the city. "
Lin Jing couldn't help but look at Qi Yuan.
A wise and benevolent king is the sign of a wise king, but in today's troubled times, if you want to unify and show kindness too much, you will miss the opportunity.
Lin Jing, who is also a survivor, naturally wants to break through the city and rescue the people like Qi Yuan, and bring them a new life.
It's just that they are really weak. Once the Mongolian army attacking the city is defeated, they will destroy the city and flee. They couldn't save the people of Nine Cities.
All that can be done is to decisively set up an ambush and completely kill the Mongolian army.
This was a helpless move. After all, if they could have an army in Ancheng, Lin Jing would have other ways to quickly break through the city, but the key was that they didn't.
Qi Yuan saw Lin Jing sighing, knowing that he had misunderstood.
"Don't worry Jing, perhaps General Lin Li already has a weapon to attack the city, and it will be easy to capture the nine cities.
The Mongolian army was defeated and fled. We only need to leave a gap for them to return to the grassland to lure the enemy deeper and let them pass through Ancheng. "
Lin Jing was confused by Qi Yuan's words and couldn't figure out Qi Yuan's plan for a while.
"Although the frontier army is capable, it is difficult to defeat nine cities in a row. What is a siege weapon? Can it be so powerful?
Moreover, His Highness not only meant not to set up an ambush, but also to let the Mongolian army leave the city. Wouldn't this be letting the tiger return to the mountain?
I forgive Jing's stupidity for not being able to understand His Highness's deep meaning, so I would like to ask Your Highness to clear up my confusion. "
Qi Yuan looked as usual regarding Lin Jing's doubts.
"There are no soldiers in Ancheng, but there are many jackals on the vast grassland outside the city. It would be a good idea to send them to feed the wolves.
Moreover, I had already told my brother Yan Ming that I wanted to kill Lin Li. "
Lin Jing really couldn't figure out why Qi Yuan wanted to kill Lin Li. After all, Lin Li had been guarding the border for ten years and had not changed even though he announced a change of government.
How could such a loyal minister have to be killed?
Although Lin Jing had not been in contact with Qi Yuan for a short time, judging from his attitude towards the people, he was not a cruel person. On the contrary, he was quite benevolent.
Could it be related to the siege weapon that can destroy the Nine Cities?
"Your Highness can control hundreds of beasts?"
Qi Yuan nodded and put down the tea cup, "It's a small trick."
Lin Jing saw Qi Yuan admitting that his speculations became more and more bold.
As expected, His Highness is not only able to control wolves but also has the ability to drive all kinds of beasts, but it is so incredible that it is unimaginable.
"Your Highness wants to kill Lin Li because of a siege weapon?"
Qi Yuan was silent and then shook his head, "Not entirely. General Lin Li is no longer the good minister he used to be, nor is he the person you used to know."
Lin Jing was even more surprised when she got such an answer.
What does it mean to be someone he no longer recognizes? Could it be that the second uncle rebelled and raised troops to rebel?
This is impossible! The second uncle is an upright man and is willing to admit death. It would be better to kill him than to let him rebel.
Qi Yuan's expression became serious and he faced Lin Jing.
"Lin Jing, can you trust people from outside the world?"
Lin Jing raised her eyes and looked at Qi Yuan in disbelief, unable to believe that such a strange thing would happen to Lin Li.
Yes, Lin Jing figured out the key when Qi Yuan said these words.
If the second uncle is really possessed by the so-called extraterrestrial person, the hidden danger of having such a heavy army will indeed be the target of His Highness's killing.
Lin Jing remained silent, obviously he had figured out Qi Yuan's temperament to wait patiently for Qi Yuan's next words and was mentally prepared.
But apparently the truth broke through his cognition.
"What if this extraterrestrial man is not General Lin Li alone but gathers together in a group and all hold great power?"
Lin Jing was so surprised that she lost all restraint and blurted out: "This is simply a fantasy!"
Qi Yuan's smile became sad and helpless.
"Yes, this is such a fantasy. Even I once suspected that it was my crazy imagination. It wasn't until I discovered that I could control hundreds of beasts that I had to start believing it.
In addition to An Jiu, my uncle also left two secret guards for me, An Wu and An Eleven. I arranged them to collect intelligence in Daxuan.
But among the people who are suspected of being outsiders, there is even my third brother Ye Chen who holds the jade seal and the imperial edict.
These extraterrestrials have far more bizarre methods than I do, and they are the leaders of rebels everywhere. "
Qi Yuan unfolded the truth of the world in front of Lin Jing without any warning. These words impacted his cognition.
Daxuan is not just an extraterrestrial person, but a group of people! There is even the third prince who holds the imperial edict of Jade Seal!
They are all the leaders of the rebels, and their methods are magical.
Did His Highness lie to him according to the script?
