Wengcheng, white sand County.

Qi Guangbo, dressed in a military uniform and a Scarlet cloak, stood in front of the map of Qingzhou on the shelf, looking at it attentively.

Behind him were the generals of the various battalions of the cloud Prefecture’s Army. Ji Xuan, who was wearing armor and had a saber at his waist, sat on the head seat on the left.

The generals had relaxed expressions. Although they maintained their silence, their faces were filled with joy.

In just three days, they had taken out nine counties at the border of Qingzhou and completely destroyed the first line of defense, allowing the Army to have a stable backline.

Qi Guangbo’s eyes never left the map, and he said lightly, “”Everyone is in a good mood. We’ve won a great battle, so Why Don’t We Get Drunk tonight?”

All the generals were stunned. They looked at each other silently, but no one responded.

Qi Guangbo instructed the Deputy general beside him, ”

“Tell me about the situation in the city.”

The Deputy general stood up, looked at the generals around the table, and said in a deep voice, ”

“Before the Qingzhou Garrison retreated, they burned the grain in the granaries in the city. At the same time, burn a large amount of quilts and cloth. In addition, the rich, merchants, and well-to-do families in the city had already left in advance. Now, there were only hungry, poor, and refugees in white sand County.

“The other nine counties are the same.”

“What?”

The generals were shocked.

The Deputy general continued, ”

before this, the governor’s office of Qingzhou had already ordered to strengthen the walls and clear the fields. The villages outside the city were all empty, and not a single grain could be found.

Qi Guangbo, who had his back to the crowd, said, ”

“What a good yang Gong. He’s kind but doesn’t command troops. I didn’t expect him to be even more ruthless to the people. Are you still in the mood to drink?”

The generals were silent.

They had taken down the line of defense at the border of Qingzhou and had a back-up plan, but it was hard to say whether it was stable.

Ji Xuan muttered,

“Yang Gong did not plan to defend the nine counties on the border to the death from the beginning. He evacuated the rich in advance, leaving only the refugees and poor to hand over this mess to us.”

Qi Guangbo pointed at the map of Qingzhou and nodded, ”

“Qingzhou is tens of thousands of miles long, and there is plenty of space for him to move around. Why must he guard the border? Now that the Imperial court’s reinforcements have yet to arrive, he chose to tangle with us instead of fighting to the death. This is the right choice.

“This move of giving him a taste of his own medicine, it’s a brilliant use.”

When attacking a city, they wished for the other party’s situation to be as bad as possible. It would be best if they ran out of ammunition and supplies, with refugees everywhere.

However, once they occupied the city, what the rebel army had to do was to maintain stability. If there was chaos in these places, it would only drag them down.

Of course, if the goal was only to plunder, these could be ignored. At most, they would just kill everyone.

This situation was only suitable for foreign invasion. The rebel army of Yunzhou wanted to gather the People’s hearts and act on the greater good, but it was not good to do so.

he wants to use the poor and refugees to drag us down. Hmph, it just so happens that the militia who attacked the city this time have all died. These are all excellent sources of soldiers.

A general said.

Every plan had two sides.

Ji Xuan glanced at him and said,

“Yang Gong cleared the fields and burned the food, not leaving us a single grain of rice. The pressure on our zhinong will increase by many times. This is like cutting meat with a blunt knife, slowly consuming our Foundation. Of course, we’re not afraid.”

Yang Gong’s purpose was obvious. He wanted to weaken the strength of the rebel army as much as possible in Qingzhou.

The generals present were all smart and experienced, so it was not difficult for them to figure out this problem.

Qi Guangbo said lightly,”the Imperial advisor has been preparing for many years and has a deep foundation. How can a small Qingzhou consume it?” We can use this to spread the name of our righteous teachers.”

The generals looked at each other and laughed.

“It’s time for the Western Region’s monk soldiers to show up. I’ve already sent someone to ask the state preceptor,” Qi Guangbo said.

…………

Qingzhou Administration Office.

In the backyard, the Round Table in the hall was filled with delicacies. Lina and Xu Yingying were lying on the table, eating and drinking.

The master and disciple’s faces were the same, bulging like buns.

“Eating fish and cured meat every day, I have to squat for a long time to go to the toilet.” Leena said vulgarly without any psychological burden, even though she had delicate features.

There was a lack of fresh fruits and vegetables on the ship.

“Master, I can shit.” Xu lingying announced loudly, indicating that he was more powerful than his master.

“Should we leave some for brother Erlang?”

Although Lina said that, she swallowed her food even faster.

On the way to Qingzhou, Xu Erlang’s teacher, Zhang Shen, and Li Mubai came to find him and brought their disciples to Qingzhou first.

Of course, Xu Erlang wouldn’t let Lina and Ling Ying stay on the boat, so they set off together.

“Er Guo, er Guo isn’t hungry.”

Xu lingying forcibly defined Xu Erlang.

“If you’re not hungry, then I can’t help it …”

Leena said seriously.

In the meeting hall of the Chief Administrator’s Office.

Xu Erlang picked up the blue and white teacup, took a sip of the hot tea, and listened in silence.

At the head of the long pearwood table sat the governor of Qingzhou, yang Gong, who was dressed in a red robe. This recluse Purple Sun, who was from the Yun Lu Academy and whose literary reputation was well-known in the Central Plains, had lost a lot of weight.

He hadn’t slept for half a year, and his thin face couldn’t hide his fatigue, but his eyes were still sharp and his spirit was still strong, as if he had endless strength.

“…….. The current situation in Qingzhou is like this. The border can not be defended.”

Yang Gong ended his long speech, picked up his teacup, moistened his throat, and turned to Zhang Shen, ”

“What do you think?”

Of the two schoolmates who had come from far away to serve as an advisor, Zhang Shen majored in military tactics, and was a talent that yang Gong urgently needed.

Zhang Shen nodded and said,

“If it were me, I wouldn’t let those merchants, wealthy families, and distinguished families leave. The rebel army will definitely choose to sustain war through war. The day the city is broken will be the day their families will be destroyed.
