The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

In the spacious and bright Chinese army tent, Xiao Rui was listening to Changsheng Hou Tian Boyuan's introduction of the latest situation.

Zhao Guo put most of his forces against the Qin army in the west, and he could only delay one step at a time in the face of the Great Xia army.

Tian Boyuan said again: "Your Highness, you didn't stop when you passed through Lan County, so you didn't find that most of the people in Lan County are old, young, women and children, and there are very few adult men over the age of fifteen, all of whom were taken away by forced conscription. Now Tibet The same is true in Dongjun and other big counties. Although Zhao Guo only has 30% of its troops defending us now, they are now desperately recruiting troops, recruiting males from various families, and letting all these inexperienced males go to the battlefield. No small amount of power."

Zhao Guo is now in a hurry, so he started to force conscription. As long as he is a male, he will go to the city to defend it.

"Now there are 70,000 Zhao troops in Eastern Tibet County, but there are hundreds of thousands of men who are forced to confiscate. The last general is thinking about whether to attack by force or use tricks. If it is a strong attack, our side will suffer more casualties. The common people will die even more. If you use tricks, you don’t have a clue.” Tian Boyuan explained.

Xiao Rui nodded, and asked a key question: "What is the attitude of the people of Zhao State?"

Tian Boyuan said: "The people of Zhao State are not willing to fight!"

It's not that the people of Zhao State are not patriotic, it's just that there are too many miscellaneous taxes and corvee, and now men are being expropriated. The state pushes them to cut off their children and grandchildren.

Zhao Guo is not benevolent, do you still count on the loyalty of the people?

Xiao Rui smiled, "Since we don't want to fight, we don't want to attack too many soldiers with casualties. My suggestion is to use tactics, and siege has always been the best strategy since ancient times. Zifang, Fengxiao, if you use tactics, almost Can Japan take down the eastern Tibetan county?"

"Three days." Zhang Liang smiled, and Guo Jia also nodded.

Xiao Rui looked at Changsheng Hou Tianboyuan and asked, "Master Hou, I am the supervisor of the army, so it is inconvenient to participate in the command of the battle, but this is a newcomer, why don't you let me try it? I can't win the east of Tibet in three days. , and then Master Hou will go out."

"Your Highness is serious, it's up to Your Highness to decide!" Tian Boyuan is not stupid, he really regards the prince as a supervisor? Not to mention that he holds a gold medal as if I came in person, even if he doesn't have it, he has to refer to his opinion, this is the heir apparent of Great Xia!

After the battle was over, the two chatted about gossip.

"The last time I came back from Qi State, I saw Bo Guang. He has experienced well. He already has a bit of demeanor of Lord Hou. He has someone to succeed him." Xiao Rui laughed.

Chang Shenghou laughed and said: "The final general has to thank His Royal Highness, I used to hang out with that kid from the Zhang family all day long, and every day I went, since I got closer to His Highness and learned His teachings, this is what I am now. achievement."

"It's still a tiger father without dogs!" Xiao Rui praised.

The two talked to each other and had a great time.

Seeing that it was noon, and just about to eat, the waiter delivered the military newspaper.

After Chang Shenghou looked at it, he frowned and praised: "Wang Duan has such a powerful method!"

As soon as Xiao Rui heard about Duan Wang, he immediately became interested and asked, "Master Hou, what's going on?"

General Chang Shenghou submitted the report to Xiao Rui, and Xiao Rui understood what was going on after reading it.

Duan Wang Xiaofeng guarded Yinzhou, which is the northwest corner of Daxia, bordering Qi and Zhao. Before Chang Shenghou had broken Canglan Pass, he had already led his troops into the territory of Zhao and killed tens of thousands of people. People, his achievements were passed back to the capital, and he was praised by His Majesty, and he was transferred to soldiers and horses, making up 100,000 people.

With 100,000 soldiers and horses, King Duan became more ferocious. He continued to attack Zhao, and now he has captured two counties and killed more than 40,000 enemies. The momentum is very strong.

When Xiao Rui saw the military newspaper, he also lamented Xiao Feng's foresight.

Chang Shenghou is now the main force in the conquest of Great Zhao. His main army has a clear goal, taking down Lan County, East Tibet County, West Tibet County, Lingshan County, Qishui County, Qiao County, and finally the imperial capital of Zhao.

There are two other flanks on the north and south sides, and there are Zhenyuanhou assisted in the south.

So Xiao Feng chose the most northwest corner position, from there to attack the northern part of Zhao country, the troops there are weak, several big counties are also very poor, just gave him a chance to kill all directions.

So Xiao Rui sighed that he had good eyesight.

But there is one thing that Xiao Rui is even more curious about. Concubine Mu hanged herself, but he didn't return to the capital. This guy is so cruel, maybe he was afraid that after returning to the capital, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

"King Duan has been fond of wielding knives and guns since he was a child. It is not surprising that he has such achievements!" General Xiao Rui reported back to Tian Boyuan.

Next, Tian Boyuan had lunch with Xiao Rui. Zhang Liang and Guo Jia also started to take down the eastern Tibetan county.

First of all, Zhang Liang asked Marquis Chang Sheng to ask for 2,000 people, and asked them to go to a nearby village to arrest people. This arrest was not a random arrest, but a man from whose family was conscripted to guard the city in Eastern Tibet County, so he arrested this family. people. Of course, the soldiers sent out were also required not to burn, kill, or loot. Xia Jun's military regulations are very strict, and he is not afraid of soldiers violating them.

In this way, the fun began.

...

As the sheriff of Eastern Tibet, Xun Qing felt Alexander.

Not far to the east is the 300,000 Xia army, and there are only 70,000 Zhao troops in his own city, and they are all defeated troops, who fled back from the Xia army's attack. What was even more exasperating was that the general who led the army was a man of great ambition and talent, and Xun Qing felt that the road ahead was dark.

Xun Qing asked the emperor for soldiers many times, but the answer given by the emperor was: "The city is alive and the people are alive, and the city is dead and the people are dead!"

Although Xun Qing had guessed the result, he never thought that he had been striving to be a clean and honest official all his life, and that he would have to die for his country in middle age. It's nothing to die for the country. This is the morality of scholars, but the answer given by the country is too sad.

At the same time, it can also be seen how difficult the country's situation is. Facing the attacks of two powerful countries, how long can Zhao Guo last?

With mixed feelings, he immediately went to look for the general Linghufeng who led the army.

Unexpectedly, Linghu Feng actually drank in the military tent.

Xun Qing came in with a frown, and asked, "General Linghu, the Xia Kingdom's enemy army has already approached the city. I estimate that the attack will start in a few days. Shall we discuss a good countermeasure?"

"Don't be afraid! Although there are 300,000 enemy troops, the city of Eastern Tibet has a high wall and thick walls. I have 70,000 elite men and hundreds of thousands of conscript men. There is no problem in defending the city. Your Majesty will form a hundred The Wan army is fighting the Qin army, as long as they beat the Qin army, they will come to support us, and it will be Xia Guo's nightmare!" After Linghu Feng finished speaking, he continued to drink with drunken eyes.

Xun Qing gritted his teeth, feeling very disappointed in his heart, and didn't want to refute anymore.

With such a command, how can Eastern Tibet County be defended? This kind of wine bag and rice bag relies on interpersonal relationships to be superior, how can you know how to arrange troops?

Involuntarily, Xun Qing thought of the "Ten Victory Theory" passed down from Xia Guo!

"Emperor Zhao is lenient on the outside and taboo on the inside, and has many relatives. My emperor is simple on the outside and clear on the inside, and employs only talents. This is the victory!"

Now that I think about it, it's so real!

Emperor Zhao employs many relatives, and does not pay attention to whether they have real talents or not. If he is like this, those idiots he employs are naturally sycophants, just like Linghu Feng in front of him.

Xun Qing was so angry that he shook his sleeves and was about to leave when the soldiers on the city rushed to report: "General, general, many people are coming from the east! They are walking towards the county town!"

Linghu Feng threw the flagon, staggered to his feet, and shouted: "Bring me the sword of the general, the general wants to let the Daxia thieves know how powerful the general is!"

The soldier on the side brought up the knife, and he tried to grasp it twice before he could grasp the handle of the knife, and then propped the knife on the ground, which was really suitable for use as a crutch.

Xun Qing clenched his fists and felt the anger coming from the soles of his feet.

But he continued to endure, and immediately followed the crowd to the city.

At this time, the city inside the city was crowded with soldiers and common people who had been forcibly conscripted. They looked nervous, and Xia Jun's ferocity was not aimless.

Xun Qing went up to the city, looked towards the east, and frowned.

This is not the enemy!

Linghufeng was the most powerful, brandishing a knife and shouting: "The enemy dares to approach, sons, shoot them all for me!"

Xun Qing said angrily: "Linghu Feng, open your eyes wide and look, is that the enemy army? No! Those are the people of our country of Zhao!"

Only then did Linghu Feng observe carefully, hey, it really is.

About five or six hundred old and young women and children came here. They were driven here by Xia Jun, and they didn't hurt them, just let them pass the message.

On the city wall, a recruited man immediately saw his daughter-in-law and son in the crowd, and immediately shouted, "Cuihua, Er Gouzi, why are you two here?"

Soon, many of the forced conscripts saw the family members below, and immediately squeezed to the edge of the city and waved at them, and the city was in chaos for a while.

Xun Qing's face changed drastically. When the two countries are at war, it is a default rule not to behead envoys or innocent civilians. What is Xia Jun doing? Is it possible to use these innocent people as a shield and prepare to storm the eastern Tibetan county?

In order to win, is Xia Guo really going to do such a heartless act?

Linghufeng on the side even yelled directly: "Everyone obeys the order, don't open the city gate! No one can let people from outside the city in!"

A man who was conscripted knelt down and begged: "General, the enemy is not approaching at all. Please, General, open the city gate and let my wife, children and old mother enter the city. The villain is willing to be an ox and a horse, so hurry up, General!"

Linghu Feng ignored this person's pleading, he thought it must be a trick of the enemy army, trying to trick him into opening the city gate. And once there is a precedent, wouldn't it tell other people to run here!

So he waved his hand and immediately ordered the soldiers to drive out the conscripted men.

Xun Qing looked at the people in the city and asked loudly, "Did Xia Jun drive you here? Did they ever hurt you?"

The voices of the old, young, women and children were noisy, but in the end an old man maintained order, and he said: "My lord, it is indeed Xia Guo's soldiers who drove us here, they didn't hurt us, they just asked us to send a message! "

"Let you bring a message? What message?" Xun Qing asked subconsciously.

The old man said: "Xia Jun said that their prince has come, and the prince of Xia said that as long as we surrender to Daxia, all the people will be the people of Daxia. No rewards! If you resist stubbornly, when the city is broken, all the men who participated in the resistance will be slaughtered! They also said that Zhao Guo will perish..."

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers on the city were in an uproar.

Xun Qing immediately understood that Xia Jun sent Zhao people here as lobbyists! What would the conscripted men think if their sons or fathers were in the city, and they uttered these words?

Linghu Feng was furious, and cursed: "Fart! Water me down and tell them to go back to their own village! How dare you scare me down there!"

The soldiers looked at each other, hesitated for a while but no one made a move.

Linghufeng had no choice but to shoot arrows to hurt the people of his own country. In the end, he could only ask his generals not to open the door, and left in anger.

Standing in the city, Xun Qing had mixed feelings, and he became more and more worried, what exactly was Xia Jun's intention in doing this?
