The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

This time, without Xiao Rui's special design, Lao Ai, who was thousands of miles away, completed the first step of self-improvement by relying on labor. It's a pity that Xiao Rui couldn't know the good news, otherwise he would send blessings.

With a talent like Lai Ai serving Qin, Xiao Rui can rest assured.

On the way of climbing the mountain, Xiao Rui suddenly had an idea.

Who said that the descendants of the treacherous camp are useless, Da Xia can be sent to the enemy country without need, and now that Lai Ai is here, what about Zhao Gao who is calling a deer a horse? Although there used to be Zhao Gaogao in the Great Xia Kingdom, but one extra word would make a difference of hundreds of thousands of miles. If Zhao Gao is also sent down, let him and brother Lao Ai unite their swords together, why worry about the chaos of Qin!

It's so exciting to think about it.

The autumn wind is blowing, which is a good time to travel. There are not many mountains outside Kyoto, so there are many natural tourists on the beautiful mountains. There are groups of men and women.

Xiao Rui and the others followed the crowd, they were not conspicuous.

When he got to the mountain, Xiao Rui simply stood there, looked into the distance, exhaled a mouthful of stale air from his chest, and swept away his exhaustion. Looking around, the people on the autumn outing were sitting on the ground, sitting on small games and having a picnic, it was quite embarrassing for Xiao Rui and the others to stand, so they went down the mountain obediently.

Go back to the palace and continue to work hard for the country!

 …

Before the beginning of winter, the champion Hou's three forces swept across the cities, and finally joined forces and approached Liaoyuan City.

Liaoyuan City is still more than 500 miles away from Daqi Imperial Capital. Once Liaoyuan City is broken, they can directly take the Imperial Capital as far north as Pingchuan. Therefore, Liaoyuan City has nothing to lose. This is the last barrier to protect the imperial capital.

At this time, the city of Liaoyuan was full of murderous atmosphere, and nearly 300,000 troops were packed into the city, and in order to deal with Xia Guo's gunpowder, bunkers were built with wooden planks in the city and on the city, so that the soldiers could hide. After all, after the gunpowder was thrown in and detonated, then The power of stones and caltrops splashing in all directions cannot be underestimated.

The bunker can also block Daxia's Zhuge Liannu and avoid being shot into a hedgehog.

At the same time, trenches were dug out of the city. There were three trenches that were as tall as a person, and the furthest one was 60 meters away from the city wall. Arrow range.

In this way, Liaoyuan City was full of confidence and broke Xia Jun's advanced equipment to see how they attacked the city! For this reason, a large amount of hot oil, sleepers, and stones were prepared on the city. If the Xia army dared to attack by force, they would definitely taste it!

For the preparations made by Liaoyuan City, the champion Hou saw it all in his eyes.

He sat in the center and called the generals to discuss countermeasures.

After everyone analyzed the situation of Liaoyuan City in detail, how to win Liaoyuan City became the primary issue. It has to be said that the defense of Liaoyuan City is very good, and it is specially designed for Da Xia's attack.

"Master Hou, there are too many casualties in the storm, so we can't attack by storm. How about bypassing Liaoyuan City and heading north?" a general asked aloud.

Champion Hou shook his head and said: "We must destroy Liaoyuan City first, bypassing this city will damage the morale of the army, and once we go northward, we will leave Liaoyuan City behind. The 300,000 troops in Liaoyuan City should not be underestimated. The purpose of the action is to destroy Qi, and every step must be steady."

"Why don't we leave 100,000 troops here to attack the city, and the rest continue to go north? With 100,000 troops here, it can also deter the Qi army in Liaoyuan City." Another person asked.

Champion Hou still shook his head and said: "During this time, we have successively conquered twelve cities, each of which has soldiers and horses stationed to ensure order. After removing the casualties, we still have 500,000 troops in our hands. Leave 100,000 to deter Liaoyuan. The city is not impossible, but it is the best strategy. If you are not careful, you may be restrained by the opponent. Moreover, there are still more than 500 miles away from the Qihuang Kingdom, and there are still many cities in the middle that need to be captured and garrisoned. When we arrived at the imperial capital of Qi, there were only more than 200,000 soldiers left. It is not easy for more than 200,000 soldiers to take down the imperial capital of Qi! Unless someone in the imperial capital of Qi learns from Zhao and surrenders, then it is possible Effortless. But the odds are low."

"Do you want to ask the court for support?" Someone asked again.

Champion Hou glared at the other party, and said: "With the mess of Qi State, my 700,000 elite army can't destroy him, so I have no face to go back to Daxia! Moreover, it will take some time for military support, not ten days and half a month." No, stop mentioning this!"

The combat force is 700,000, and this is not counting the auxiliary soldiers. Adding the auxiliary soldiers and escorting food and grass, the strength of the attack on Qi this time is nearly one million! So Champion Hou also has his arrogance, so many soldiers and horses can't take down the mess of internal and external troubles in Qi State, what face does he have to "champ the three armies"!

The main reason is that it took a lot of troops to garrison the captured cities.

In fact, there is no need to keep troops so densely. It should be enough to keep 10,000 to 20,000 troops in a few cities as a deterrent.

But still the same sentence, the champion Hou Qiuwen, what he wants is not only to break through the imperial capital of the Qi Kingdom, but also to return all the captured places to Daxia. You can't just break through a city and leave, and the people of Qi State in the city will revolt and stand on their own. When the time comes, there will be troubles and flowers everywhere, which will be an unstable situation, and it will be annoying to watch.

The state of Qi is not the state of Zhao, and the people of the state of Zhao have been exploited for too long, so when the city was captured, the people of the state of Zhao were very honest, as long as they were not killed or robbed, they would not resist. Qimin's rebellious mood is strong, and they don't want to be slaves to a subjugated country, so they must send troops to garrison to ensure stability.

This is why it took only three years for the Fourteen States of Anxi to settle down completely, while the Champion Hou had been stationed in Fengtian City for nearly three years, and the effect was far inferior to that of the Fourteen States of Anxi.

Since Liaoyuan City must be taken down, everyone began to brainstorm how to take down the city.

Li Cunxiao said: "General, since Liaoyuan City must be captured, first use the main force to surround Liaoyuan City, cut off its supplies, and make it a dead city. Qi's food is in short supply, and Qi's army's food is greatly reduced. Lianke Zhucheng, it is obvious that their food reserves are limited. Liaoyuan City originally had a population of 300,000, and with our army coming, the surrounding people were rushed into the city. In addition to the army of Qi, Liaoyuan City estimated that There are a million people! This is a huge population, and the daily food consumption is not a small amount."

"We will surround Liaoyuan City, do not attack, and then spread rumors that we will drive them to starvation and starve them to death. At that time, Liaoyuan City will be destroyed without attack. Once this rumor comes out, it will definitely cause panic in Liaoyuan City, and it is bound to Grain grabbing has occurred. And the subordinates are betting that there is not enough food in Liaoyuan City!"

"While the main force surrounds Liaoyuan City, the subordinates are willing to lead some troops to wipe out the surrounding enemies, and then continue to go north. This will not affect the speed of the attack! What does the general think?"

Champion Hou glanced at the others with a smile, and asked, "What do you think of the method of preserving filial piety?"

The other generals nodded.

The champion Hou smiled and said: "Then follow this method! Li Cunxiao, Yang Youji, this general ordered you two to lead one hundred thousand soldiers and horses to continue northward, and this general will stay here to take Liaoyuan City!"

"A lowly official takes orders!" Li Cunxiao and Yang Youji took orders.

The plan is set, and the action begins.

An army of 400,000 surrounded the entire city of Liaoyuan, and Daxia's army did not attack the city. Instead, they sent people to call for battle and followed the plan.

The soldiers and people in Liaoyuan City saw this posture, and Xia Jun was going to starve them to death. In an instant, there was a rush to buy food in the city, and even chaos caused a situation of food rush.

In the end, it was Prince He who sent troops to suppress and pacify the situation, which stabilized the situation a little.

Afterwards, Prince He summoned the generals of the army to discuss countermeasures.

Prince He immediately inquired about the food situation in the city, and the result he got was that it was only enough for the people in the city to consume for seven days, and if it was tight, it could barely last for ten days. There are too many people in the city now, which was far from expected before. Moreover, there is a shortage of food in Qi State, and logistical supplies are already insufficient.

After Prince He understood his emotions, he was furious: "When the army set off, this king wrote to His Majesty to ask the Ministry of Households to provide sufficient supplies. As long as the Liaoyuan City can be defended, the Xia army will not dare to go around easily. Where did the food go? ?”

The generals looked helpless and remained silent.

Prince He continued to curse angrily: "If Da Qi dies, it will be destroyed by the hands of villains in the court! Can't you tell which is more important?"

After cursing, Prince He made arrangements: "My king ordered that from now on, the grain in Liaoyuan City will be managed in a unified manner. Now soldiers will be sent to collect grain from house to house. Many rich and noble families in the city have grain, so let them hand it over! Who If they don’t pay, they will be killed! And according to the population, they will only be given enough food for a month. Now I don’t care about anything else, as long as I find all the food, I believe they can last for a month! Do you have any objections, generals?”

Unified management is indeed the best way, they can't wait for the food to run out, they go out of the city to attack, and the army in the city is Daxia's opponent?

Look at the 300,000 troops in the city, the 150,000 regular army soldiers, and the rest are recruited rebels. They may have been farmers or butchers before, and they became soldiers with weapons, but they have not undergone systematic training, and they are not big at all. Xia Biao's opponent.

Therefore, Liaoyuan City can only defend and cannot take the initiative to fight back!

"My lord, I heard that Da Xia dispatched one hundred thousand troops to continue going north, what should I do?" A general couldn't help asking.

Prince He said: "Immediately fly a pigeon to pass the letter to the imperial court. Liaoyuan City is more than five hundred miles away from the imperial capital, and there are more than a dozen cities in between. It is not easy to win each city, and the imperial capital is even more difficult." The army protecting the city, Daxia's plan to use a hundred thousand troops to defeat the emperor is just a dream, so don't worry, let the imperial court find another way to deal with the hundred thousand troops."

"Yes!" Everyone took the order, and then stepped back and started to act.

After waiting for the people to leave, Prince He suddenly smiled.

Everything is according to plan.

 …

Feiying sent a message back to the imperial capital of Qi.

After Qi Huang heard about the situation in Liaoyuan City, he immediately summoned Yun Haitian, Wei Nanzheng, Zhongshu Provincial Minister and Hubu Shangshu, and then scolded the Hubu Shangshu. He clearly arranged for the Hubu to prepare sufficient food for Liaoyuan City, because Prince He had written a letter before going out, explaining the significance of defending Liaoyuan City. As long as Liaoyuan City is defended, it will be like a needle that stabilizes the sea, and can deter the soldiers and horses of Great Xia.

As long as Daxia does not destroy Liaoyuan City, it will not dare to go north by detour.

But now it's a good thing, there is no food prepared, how can Liaoyuan City defend the city?

Hubu Shangshu had a bitter face and could only kneel down and beg for mercy. There are many reasons for the lack of food, such as the boss's instigation, but this reason cannot be said, so he can only use the food shortage as an excuse. Anyway, Qi Huang doesn't know how much food the treasury currently has.

The instigator was Wei Nanzheng. At this time, he told: "Your Majesty, calm down, now that Liaoyuan City is besieged by the army of the Xia Kingdom, Prince He will force all the food in the city to be dispatched, and then give priority to the supply of soldiers, and the people will eat less. They should be able to last for a month and a half! Now the rebels from Nanshan Prefecture in the east are suddenly attacking, and they are only a hundred miles away from the imperial capital. I suggest that the rebels be wiped out first, stabilize the surrounding area of ​​the imperial capital, and send troops to help Liaoyuan City break the siege! As for the Xia army going north The 100,000 troops will order the cities along the way to strengthen their defenses, so that they can stop them from going north. I wonder what your Majesty thinks?"

Qi Huang nodded and asked, "Master Zuo, what do you think?"

Hai Yuntian said: "Your Majesty, this is the only solution for the present, but I feel that I have to be careful in the north. Now there are only 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed in five dangerous passages to prevent the Yuan army from invading south, but according to the calculations of the scouts, now The Yuan army has 200,000 cavalry ravaging in the north, and they are constantly approaching the south, their intentions are very obvious! Once the opponent comes over, the only remaining capital of Daqi will also fall under the iron cavalry!"

Qi Huang was so worried, he opened his mouth but had nothing to say.

Because now Daqi has no troops to use.
