Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

Then, Lu Songli summoned Xue Xu, Guo Chong and others, and they discussed the deployment of troops and horses, as well as the subsequent escort of grain and grass, as well as preparations for Dali's counterattack and the possibility of Dali's navy attacking Pingzhou's grain and grass at sea. Interception and other issues.

Orders were issued from the governor's office and scattered in all directions.

After the matter was discussed, Qin Heng expressed that he wanted to go to Qingzhou in person.

Qin Heng knew very well that the sixth brother's matter could be big or small. Someone had to come forward and he could not leave it to chance. It is not convenient for the sixth brother and sister to go this time, so he will go.

Lu Songli agreed.

The military was like a fire, and Qin Heng was ready to leave immediately.

After Qin Heng left, Xue Xu and Guo Chong looked at each other, left the conference hall like everyone else, and went about their business.

As soon as Qin Heng left, Lu Desheng felt extremely sympathetic to his cheap son-in-law, "Poor guy."

"Let's handle this matter like this." Lu Songli didn't say much.

Expanding the results is not a bad thing, but the bad thing is that Qin Sheng took a bad lead. He thought he could conquer more territory, but he was a little too impatient.

Pingzhou and Qingzhou are not bordering each other. To attack Qingzhou, a fulcrum is needed, and Leling County is now this fulcrum.

Capturing Leling County is equivalent to Pingzhou driving a nail into the land of Dali, Qingzhou and Jizhou. After this fulcrum is won, there is no room for loss.

The attack on Leling County in Qingzhou was a blitzkrieg. The number of troops and food provided was not large, and it was not enough to support them in defending Leling County and also dividing their troops to attack Bohai County. At least that's what they considered when formulating the battle plan.

The Jintai Army is alone outside, which is very worrying.

Now the longer the line is stretched, the weaker the defense becomes.

If Dali encounters a powerful counterattack at this time, the consequences will be disastrous.

She could understand Qin Sheng, as a general, wanting to seize the opportunity to expand his victory. But his move really caught them off guard. In her opinion, even if they had to take action, it would be best to wait until their follow-up troops from Pingzhou arrived before taking action.

The current situation includes their underestimation of the strength of the Jintai Army and their overestimation of the strength of Dali's troops.

But after this time, when Qin Sheng leads the Jintai Army on an expedition in the future, she and Qin Heng will consider giving more military autonomy.

But not this time. Such behavior must not be encouraged.

Songzhou, Sun Jiajun garrison

After receiving the order, Sun Ming immediately summoned his youngest son Sun Congyi, "Qingzhou needs support. Lead your men to set off as quickly as possible, and the food and grass will be delivered soon."

"Yes!"

At this time, Xie Zhan, who was retreating to Changshan, also received news that Hejian and Bohai were being attacked.

His expression changed. The two armies in Pingzhou were not acting like Lu Songli's steady and steady nature.

Xie Zhan quickly calmed down, and together with other generals analyzed the current situation in Hejian and Bohai County based on the existing news.

He decisively ordered Dong Guowei, "Quick, send heavy troops to Bohai County to support!"

Dong Guowei, Wei Kuang and other generals all supported this decision. Everyone agreed that Bohai County and Leling County were easier to recapture than Zhuozhou Hejian and other places that were already connected to Pingzhou and backed by Pingzhou. , no matter how hard it works, we must prevent the Pingzhou army from opening up the coastal arteries and connecting the results.

Changan

The news of Pingzhou's attack on Dali had just reached Chang'an. Not long after, the bad news came that Zhuozhou and Leling County in Qingzhou had changed hands.

And this meeting is not over yet, two armies from Pingzhou are attacking Bohai County and Hejian.

Bohai County and Hejian are in emergency!

"Wolf ambition, really wolf ambition!" Song Mo was so angry that he was shaking all over.

He can afford to lose a Zhuozhou and doesn't care! However, losing four counties in a row was equivalent to losing a state, and he couldn't accept it!

The ministers below all shared the same hatred.

"It's all an excuse to say that Dali officials and merchants oppressed Pingzhou merchants!"

"Yes, who doesn't know that this is just an excuse for Pingzhou to send troops to attack Dali?"

"Pingzhou is so ambitious that they must have planned this battle for a long time!"

The officials headed by the family looked at each other, the opportunity has come!

"Your Majesty, aren't Governor Xie in Zhuozhou? Why would you let Zhuozhou be taken away by Pingzhou so easily?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Xie Zhan has neglected his duties and should be punished!"

Song Mo was furious, "Where's Xie Zhan? Make a decree and tell him to come back to me!"

"In addition, a decree was sent to Dong Guowei, asking him to support the Bohai River and press the border with heavy troops. He must take back the lost city!"

Bohai County

After taking Gaocheng County, the Jintai Army consciously began to rest and recuperate, and did not continue to attack the remaining five counties in the Bohai Sea.

After Qin Heng arrived, he first reprimanded Qin Sheng and scolded him for taking the initiative to attack Bohai County without asking for instructions and getting permission from his superiors...

Before Qin Sheng said anything, the people below were a little unconvinced when they saw their sixth master being reprimanded.

"General Qin Heng, we didn't lose, and we even defeated Bohai County." Why are you still lecturing us?

Qin Heng looked at them majestically, "You think you are very powerful just because you won, don't you?"

Zhu Dazhuang, Lu Dayou, Chen Jinlong and others did not speak.

Without them speaking, he knew that these people were unconvinced.

"Your third brother heard that you were going to attack Bohai County, so he also followed suit and led troops to attack Hejian without permission!"

"So, do you know how much impact your making such a fuss will have on the rear?"

Qin Sheng: ...So, what happened to his third brother is also his fault?

Qin Heng gave him a look. If you don't blame me, who should you blame?

"Then the general is going to punish you now, will you accept it or not?"

Zhu Dazhuang, Chen Jinlong and others immediately lost their composure upon hearing this.

"General Qin Heng, this is none of Mr. Liu's business."

"Yes, it was his subordinates who encouraged him." Zhu Dazhuang said quickly,

Qin Sheng shouted at them, "Shut up, all of you!"

Qin Heng watched from the side. After they all calmed down, he said, "Are you done?"

He pointed at Qin Sheng, "He was the one who nodded, and he was the one who made the decision, so I only asked him to question me."

"If everyone followed his example and acted in different directions during the war and did not obey orders, wouldn't it be chaos?"

Zhu Dazhuang, Chen Jinlong and others looked at each other, then lowered their heads.

"It's the governor's intention to punish you."

Qin Sheng was speechless. He lowered his head and said, "General Qin Heng, the last general is wrong."

Qin Sheng doesn't care about rewards and punishments, as long as he has established a solid territory.

Qin Heng announced the punishment, only punishing Qin Sheng and not anyone else.

This time, Qin Sheng shouldered all the punishment.

"... Fortunately you won the battle. This time the merits and demerits are equal to each other. Otherwise, I would have ordered you, General Qin Sheng, to be severely punished."

After that, Qin Heng went to visit the wounded soldiers, leaving space for Qin Sheng and his subordinates.

As soon as he left, Zhu Dazhuang and others surrounded Qin Sheng.

Qin Heng looked back for the last time, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly.

Qin Heng's trip was to help Governor Lu Songli establish his dignity.

It is not easy for a woman to hold power, but Xiaoliu has indeed gone overboard this time. If he is not punished, how can he convince the public? There cannot be two voices in one force.

The second is to help Qin Sheng gather the morale of the army. There are many arrogant and capable generals in the Jintai army, but all of them are thorns in the side, and only Xiaoliu can stop them.
