Chapter 265: Chasing the Remaining Enemy(1/2)
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
A burst of excited shouts sounded among the palaces in Anyi, Wei State, and then Wei Xianggong Sun Qi was seen walking in a hurry to a palace.
But before Gongsun Qi could move forward, a beautiful woman who walked out of the palace appeared in front of him.
Seeing this person appear, Gongsun Qi did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He immediately walked forward slowly and bowed and said: "My lord, Gongsun Qi, would like to pay my respects to my wife."
"Prime Minister, there is no need to be polite. Get up quickly."
A smile like the spring breeze appeared between that beautiful face. Looking at Gongsun Qi in front of him, Zhao Yi, who was the wife of the Marquis of Wei, said softly: "The Prime Minister is here in a hurry. He must have something important to report to you, so I will leave first."
One step."
"I respectfully see you off, Madam." After hearing these words, Gongsun Qi immediately bowed again.
In this way, Wei Hou's wife Zhao Yi slowly left the main hall with several maids, while Gongsun Qi walked into the main hall under the leadership of a palace servant.
"My lord, Sun Qi, pays homage to your Majesty."
When Gongsun Qi came to him, Wei Feng, who had just finished a bowl of meat soup cooked by Zhao Yi, quickly stood up from his throne.
"The Prime Minister does not need to be polite."
When he stretched out his arms to help Gongsun Qi up and looked at the excitement in his eyes, Wei Feng also had a smile on his lips.
"If I guess correctly, Xiangguo's entry into the palace today must have brought good news to me, right?"
"Your Majesty is wise, that's exactly what it is."
The smile on Gongsun Qi's face became brighter and brighter. He turned around and quickly came to a huge map hanging on the side of the hall.
"Your Majesty, since our army started the offensive on Yiqu, the progress can be said to be smooth."
"In just half a month, the 60,000 Hexi Army led by Zhai Liang has captured Diaoyin, an important city in the east of Yiqu according to the previous deployment."
"The 50,000 Hexi Army led by Sun Boling also performed equally well, and successively captured large areas of territory in Yunyang, Yiqu and other areas."
Following the movement of Gongsun Qi's finger on the map, the attack trajectories of Zhai Liang and Sun Boling were clearly displayed in front of Wei Feng.
Seeing that the battle situation was going as smoothly as planned before the war, the corners of Wei Feng's mouth curled up more and more.
Next, under Wei Feng's gaze, Gongsun Qi's finger landed on the intersection of the attack directions of the two armies, which was the Yuzhi City where the Yiqu Royal Court was located.
"Your Majesty, according to the good news sent back by the two generals Zhai Liang and Sun Boling, the main force of our army and the main force of Yiqu's army are engaged in a battle outside Yuzhi City."
"In this battle, our army either killed or captured more than 10,000 Yiqu soldiers, and captured Yuzhi City, the royal court of Yiqu. It can be said that it greatly defeated the spirit of the Yiqu people."
"Not only that, that night, our Wei army's 10,000 elite cavalry took advantage of the internal conflict in Yiqu to raid the Yiqu camp, again inflicting heavy damage on the Yiqu army and wiping out about 30,000 Yiqu soldiers."
"color!"
"color!"
"color!"
After Gongsun Qi reported the battle situation, Wei Feng's face was already full of excitement, and he even cheered three times in a row.
Looking at the three words "Yuzhi City" on the map, Wei Feng said loudly: "Now that the Yiqu Royal Court is owned by our Wei State, and most of Yiqu's army has been lost, our Wei State is already sure of victory in this war.
"
At the same time, Wei Feng's eyes unconsciously moved downwards, landing on the opponent south of Yiqu who had always made him fearful.
Now that the Yiqu strategy has seen the dawn of victory, the next step is to start a war against Qin.
There will be a decisive battle between Wei and Qin in the future.
However, Wei Feng did not stay in Qin at this moment, and his eyes returned to Yiqu's current opponent.
"The war situation is now in my favor. I wonder what generals Sun Boling and Zhai Liang will do next?"
Facing Wei Feng's gaze on him, Gongsun Qi nodded slightly, "I'd like to report to you, the two generals also told their next strategies on top of the victory report."
"Your Majesty, please see that after the Yuzhi Battle and the night attack on the camp, Yiqu has actually split into two parts."
"One of them is dominated by the Jiang family who rebelled against the Yiqu family, and their forces are roughly distributed in the northern part of the current Yiqu country; the other part is the main force of the remaining Yiqu soldiers led by Yiqu Wang Yiquhan, who have already fled westward.
.”
"The plan of the two generals Sun Boling and Zhai Liang is to defeat the Jiang family in the north first, and then concentrate all their efforts on attacking the remaining remnants of King Yiqu."
His eyes followed Gongsun Qi's gaze. Wei Feng nodded repeatedly and said, "Well, that's right. Weak first and then strong, first close and then far. The strategies of these two generals are very sophisticated."
However, when Wei Feng's eyes followed Yi Quhan's westward escape route, two seal characters representing Wushi came into his eyes.
A dangerous light immediately appeared in his eyes, "Prime Minister, King Yiqu's remnant troops are heading west, and there is no guarantee that they will not escape to the Wushi Kingdom west of Yiqu."
"Your Majesty, in fact, Generals Sun Boling and Zhai Liang also have such worries. For this reason, General Sun Boling also issued a military order to the soldiers on the expedition." Gongsun Qi said in a calm voice.
"oh!"
There was a trace of curiosity in his tone, and Wei Feng immediately asked: "I would like to know what kind of order my Wei army's commander issued?"
"It is my general's order that anyone who joins forces with King Yiqu will be the enemy of our Kingdom of Wei."
As soon as Gongsun Qi finished speaking, Wei Feng felt a surge of emotion in his heart, and he kept repeating this sentence.
"Well said, well said!"
"This military order from General Sun Boling shows the might of the military of the Wei State. Whoever dares to stand with the enemies of the Wei State will be destroyed by the Wei Army."
He gently pressed the sword on his waist with his left hand, and slowly grasped the hilt with his fingers. At this moment, the majesty of a monarch burst out from Wei Feng's body.
"Prime Minister, tell General Sun Boling on my behalf."
"Go ahead and fight, regardless of who the enemy is in front of you. We will give him our full support in Anyi."
The courage shown by Wei Feng at this moment immediately moved Gongsun Qi from the bottom of his heart.
Although Wei Feng rarely criticized the frontline war since the beginning of his succession, even Gongsun Qi once felt this feeling of wholehearted trust;
But every time he heard Wei Feng say such words and practice them with his own actions, Gongsun Qi would always be moved by them.
As the saying goes: "When you are outside, you will not receive your orders."
But there is no king from ancient times to the present who can really do this. Whenever there is a war, it is the time when the monarch inside is most suspicious of the general outside.
But Wei Feng, who was standing in front of him, was able to maintain his trust in the frontline generals. Such courage could not be called a "wise king".
Thinking of this, Gongsun Qi bowed with great solemnity, "I, Gongsun Qi, will obey your orders."
Gongsun Qi was moved by Wei Feng's words, but how could he understand the pain Wei Feng suffered in his previous life.
Because of his interference with Pang Juan in the two battles of Guiling and Maling in his previous life, Wei lost its most elite army and its status as the world's hegemon.
That's right, Wei Feng was afraid.
In order to prevent everything from happening again, Wei Feng gave up his random interference from the beginning of his succession, and instead allowed his commanders and good generals to fully display their talents.
Facts have proved that Wei Feng's choice was correct. According to this method, Wei gradually got rid of the fate of its previous life.
Wei Feng, who reaped tangible benefits from this, more consciously limited his interference with frontline generals.
This is why after the Yiqu War started, although Wei Feng was always paying attention to the direction of the war, he did not issue orders to the front line;
This is why after Sun Boling and Zhai Liang confirmed the combat strategy on the front line, Wei Feng expressed his full support.
After understanding the next move of the frontline army, Wei Feng's attention immediately turned to the supply of food, grass and baggage for the army.
"Prime Minister, is the supply of food, grass and baggage for the army still sufficient?"
"Your Majesty, in the past month, grain and grass baggage from various places in Wei State have been continuously sent to Xihe."
"According to the report from Gongsun Yang, the governor of Xihe County, the army's food and baggage is enough to sustain the coming war, and he is constantly organizing the people in the county to transport it to the front line."
"Um!"
Wei Feng nodded lightly and walked step by step to the front of the map. His eyes once again fell on Yuzhi City, which is north of Qindong and west of Shangjun.
"Instruct Gongsun Yang to send more manpower to transport grain, grass and baggage to Yuzhi City. This place will definitely become the key point for our army to continue to move north and west in the future."
"Here."
…
Wei State, Xihe County.
"Hey……"
"good……"
…
Followed by several subordinate officials, Gongsun Yang, the governor of Xihe County, walked among the carriages loaded with grain.
At this moment, the sounds of cooperation filled his ears, and he saw scenes of excitement.
Seeing the carriages being filled with grain and grass baggage with the combined efforts of one Li Shu after another, Gongsun Yang couldn't help but have a look of satisfaction on his face.
Before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass go first. Gongsun Yangming knew very well that this cliché is one of the eternal truths of war.
War has never been just a matter for the soldiers on the front line. What he is responsible for now also determines whether the front line can win or not.
A long time passed, and when all the carriages in this column were loaded, a loud trumpet sounded at the front of the team.
