Lord of the People: I rely on cheating for hegemony

Chapter 740 Speed ​​up the attack
On the afternoon of March 3th in the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao, Su Yan, and Kong Ming led 20 million expeditionary soldiers into King Liuwangcheng.

Since the king of the Liuwang Principality escaped, Su Yan held a high status in the eyes of the ordinary soldiers and the people of the Liuwang Principality, and the news that Su Yan gave food to the people at any cost after regaining the territory had also spread to the royal city, so the soldiers of the expeditionary army After entering the royal city, there was almost no resistance.

But even so, in the siege battle, the casualties of soldiers from the Yicheng Territory Expeditionary Army still reached more than 3, while the casualties of soldiers defending the city of Liuwang Principality far exceeded 20. To reverse the role of offensive and defensive advantages and disadvantages.

When the king of Prince Liu Duke escaped from the royal city, he took about 20 elite soldiers with him. When Qu Mao and Su Yan entered the royal city, the number of defenders in Duke Liu’s city still reached nearly 60. However, the king fled and Su Yan entered the city. These 60 fighters chose to give up resistance.

Although the 60 defending soldiers of Liuwang Principality have abandoned their weapons and surrendered and are willing to accept Su Yan's arrangement, the total number of soldiers entering the city from the territory of Yicheng is only about 150 million. With so many surrendered soldiers accumulating in the royal city, it is still difficult for Qu Mao Feeling a little uneasy.

Therefore, while still on the road to Prince Liu’s palace, Qu Mao asked Kong Ming to arrange for soldiers to escort the 60 surrendered soldiers outside the royal city, and build a simple camp for centralized custody at a place about five kilometers away from the south gate of the royal city. At least it's safe.

Temporarily build a few defensive towers, and arrange 30 third-tier princess guards with complete weapons and equipment. It is completely possible to detain these surrendered soldiers who have lost their will to resist. Soldiers.

At 3:20 pm on March 5th in the fourth year of Tianxuan, Su Yan finally returned to the palace where she grew up, and she burst into tears in an instant. Qu Mao didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only wink at Kong Ming, but Kong Ming shook the goose feather fan, his eyes deliberately avoided Qu Mao's.

Although the king of the Liuwang Principality stole the number of the king of the Liusu Principality for several years, and carried out several rounds of purges after he ascended the throne, there are still a few former court officials who knew Su Yan in the palace, and they all cried bitterly after seeing Su Yan. snot.

It was not until dinner at 7 o'clock in the evening that Su Yan's mood returned to normal.

Qu Mao accompanied Su Yan to dinner in the palace restaurant, and said to Kong Ming and Su Yan: "Su Yan, Kong Ming, military heroes such as Su Buqing and Xu Tan are now accepting the defense of the royal city, and there are only the three of us and a few people here. The fifth-order court guard.

Of course, this is the interior of Prince Tassel's palace. I'm not worried about our safety, but I feel that in this environment, we discuss some follow-up arrangements, and there is no risk of leaking secrets.

For the next war and development, I have some ideas of my own. "

Kong Ming immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks, picked up the goose feather fan, and said while fanning: "My lord, are you going to quickly attack the enemy and quickly take down the entire territory of Liuwang Duchy and the five major princes of the Alliance to Destroy the Soviet Union?

However, the subordinates are thinking, since Master Su Yan has already taken down Prince Liu's king city and palace, he should quickly ascend the throne and become the Queen of Liusu Principality.

At present, there are still too many famous families and nobles sitting on the sidelines in Liusu Principality, and the news of winning the Royal City may not spread to the entire Liusu Principality so quickly.

Military strikes are one aspect. After Su Yan ascended the throne quickly, she can still strengthen the confidence of those famous families who are vacillating and sitting on the fence in the Principality of Liusu, so that they will unswervingly stand on Su Yan's side.

They may not be able to count on fighting, but less trouble can also relieve some of our military pressure. "

Su Yan looked at Kong Ming, then at Qu Mao, and didn't say a word at all.

Qu Mao nodded and said, "Well, what Kong Ming said makes sense.

The first thing, I think Su Yan needs to quickly stabilize the order in Prince Liu's King's City, rebuild a safe palace environment, and even arrange messengers to spread the news of our army's capture of the King's City to the whole country.

The second thing, I think Su Yan needs to arrange the army heroes in the northwest region as soon as possible to defeat the remnants of the fleeing king of Liuwang Principality as quickly as possible, and completely take down the entire territory of Liuwang Principality.

After consolidating the defense of Wangcheng, I think Wangcheng's expeditionary force can dispatch at least 60 or even 100 million troops to support the operations in the northwest region, and they can even start tomorrow.

The third thing, I think that even if Su Yan does not ascend the throne to become queen now, she still has to determine the date of her ascension at the end of a month, spread the word to the whole country and require famous families and nobles from all over the world to send the patriarch of the family to watch the ceremony, otherwise it will be treated as rebellion.

The fourth thing, I think Su Yan can set some famous families as benchmarks to motivate, such as Zhang Zhiyong and Zhang Zhigang brothers who surrendered early, or the Yancheng Yan family patriarch. "

Su Yan said: "My lord, is this appropriate? Brothers Zhang Zhiyong and Zhang Zhigang, although they are active, they don't play a big role.

The head of the Yan family in Yancheng is also my own uncle. "

Qu Mao waved his hands and said, "It doesn't matter how much he has done, it's just that the two brothers are actively running around.

How about this, enfeoffing the Marquis of Luanshan to the Marquis of Zhang Zhiyong, it happened that he was also promoted from the earl of the puppet dynasty to the Marquis at the beginning, and he could also liberate Xuande, and the territory of the Luanshan Marquis is relatively small, so the internal affairs are handed over to the Zhang family Management can liberate the garrison of Luanshanhou Kingdom.

As for the head of the Yan family in Yancheng, he is Su Yan's biological uncle. Although Su Yan did not make any significant contributions to the restoration of the country, she did not make any obvious mistakes.

When Sir Mrak takes over the entire territory of Jierhou Kingdom, which happens to have two port cities, Baigang and Honggang, Jierhou Kingdom will be entrusted directly to Yancheng Yancheng's Patriarch, and let him be the king of the Houguo.

Su Yan's sealing him now is only to give him the status of a king and the title of marquis. When the Yan family can control the defense of the Jierhou Kingdom, they can liberate the garrison strength of our Yicheng territory in the Jierhou Kingdom.

By the way, the 60 defenders of the Principality outside the city in the south surrendered their troops and dispatched 30 to match our 20 expeditionary force. At that time, they will accompany the head of the Yan family to receive the Jierhou Kingdom and participate in the defense of the Jierhou Kingdom.

The remaining 30 surrendered troops should be matched with our fighters to receive the defense of the Luanshanhou, Abyss, Wangzhan, Bertier and Lianhe respectively. They will not be allowed to return for at least three years. Within the territory of Tassel Principality.

Su Yan, look at my arrangement, what do you think? "

Su Yan thought for a while and said, "My lord, the subordinates are all at your command."

Kong Ming waved the goose feather fan and said, "Lord Su Yan, I think, let's proceed according to your lord's instructions."

Su Yan nodded and said, "Yes, yes!"
