The female emperor fights, captures Yang Yuhuan at the beginning

Regarding the military direction for the coming year, Qin Lang actually had a plan in his heart, but he hadn't decided on it, and now, it was time to make up his mind.

Chapter 0185 Asking for Help (New Year Explosion [-])

From noon to night, Qin Lang didn't make any statement. He just listened to the arguments of the moderates, conservatives, and hawks.

The moderate faction is represented by Zhuge Liang, Bai Qi and other Daqin factions. Their proposition is very simple, the defense is not stable, and they cannot go far.

Without a stable rear, the front line will not dare to let go, and it must always take into account the stabbing of the people behind.

Conservatives are represented by Lu Su, Xu Shu, Lian Po, etc. They tend to be moderate. The difference is that they think that Liangzhou and Dingzhou are already in the urn, and they don't need to use weapons. They can use economic blockade and Internal differentiation will disintegrate it, and the vitality will be invested in the direction of unifying the southwest.

According to their strategy, first take down Pingzhou, which has been disabled, and then drive straight to take down Jiaozhou, which has been disabled, and siege Yazhou to force it to submit.

Finally, the situation of unifying the western half of the country is completed, and then the strength is accumulated, and then the southern states are planned.

The hawks are mainly represented by Xun You, Chen Ping, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and others. They believe that Longzhou will be exposed sooner or later. Rather than being besieged by people at that time, it is better to take advantage of the chaos in the southern states and rush them all away.

Qin Lang has seen the summary of the military strength of the southern states. No matter in terms of generals or soldiers, the retrained and strengthened Longzhou soldiers are no worse than Qinzhou soldiers, and much stronger than the southern states.

The confidence of the Hawk Faction lies in the fact that Longzhou has sufficient soldiers and food, and can continuously use sea ships to support supplies from Qinzhou.

Sweeping Liuhe with the power of one state, Longzhou has this strength.

It's not that Qin Lang lacks confidence. With Wei Qing and Yue Fei in Longzhou, he is naturally not afraid of the surrounding states. Moreover, as an enclave, Longzhou is indeed very influential in many aspects.

If he wanted to border Longzhou, he was facing the entire six southern states. Qin Lang had to quickly break through Pingzhou, Leizhou, Bianzhou, and Xiazhou.

Digging through the land of the four states in one go, not to mention the difficulty itself, and the threat of other states nearby, once public anger is aroused, and the southern states unite to resist Qinzhou, the difficulty and risk are too great.

Therefore, in Qin Lang's plan, the opinions of the hawks will be temporarily put on hold. Now is not the best time to deal with the southern states.

The best policy is to confuse the southern states and let them consume each other's strength, so that Qin Lang can benefit from it.

The quarrel lasted until around ten o'clock in the evening. Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Lang asked everyone to go home and rest. He needed time to sort out his thoughts.

When everyone left, only Xun Yu was left with him. Qin Lang, who had been staring at the map for a long time, suddenly asked, "If I want to take over the two states in the Northwest at the same time, Pingzhou, Gongzhou, and Leizhou in the south, what should I do now?" Can some armaments be supplied?"

Xun Yu heard the words, looked up at the huge map hanging on the wall, and frowned slightly: "Pingzhou is currently in a stalemate with Yazhou, will we attack rashly..."

"Wuyu, you just tell me whether Qinzhou's background can support the needs of the four battlefields for half a year."

Sitting next to the brazier, Xun Yu lowered his head, looked at the charcoal covered in white ash in the brazier, thought for a long time before saying: "If the lord has made up his mind, the subordinate can guarantee the supply for eight months, but..."

"Just what?" Qin Lang turned around, walked to the brazier and sat down, stretching out his hand on the brazier to feel the temperature brought by the charcoal fire.

Xun Yu rubbed the back of his hands, looked at Qin Lang and said solemnly: "If you can break through quickly, everyone will be happy. If you are blocked and the battle is anxious, the master's hard work for the past two years may be in vain, and the overall situation will go back two years."

Xun Yu's words sounded simple, but Qin Lang knew the weight of the words. He is no longer what he used to be.

The land of the six states belonged to him alone, and the burden was so heavy that ordinary people could not imagine.

The national strength of war is the logistics. If Qin Lang launches four independent battlefields at the same time, the armaments are indeed abundant, and I am afraid that he will not be able to win the battle quickly.

Once it is dragged back, its consumption and loss will be several times that of others. Lanzhou, Tongzhou and Jingzhou have just been conquered, and there is almost no background in waiting for a waste of time.

The current good situation of these three states is completely supported by Qinzhou and Zezhou. If the war comes to a stalemate, the result can be imagined.

Qin Lang rubbed his temples, leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

At this moment, Yu Huatian suddenly appeared at the door, and just about to speak to report, he saw Xun Yu's silence gesture.

Yu Huatian immediately understood what Xun Yu meant, and walked to the side as lightly as a thief and handed the secret letter to Xun Yu.

Qin Lang didn't open his eyes, but he seemed to have seen it a long time ago. After Yu Huatian exited the hall, Qin Lang said leisurely, "Open it and have a look."

Xun Yu opened the seal, quickly glanced at the contents of the secret letter, and said excitedly, "My lord, Yazhou asks for help."

Yazhou asking for help?

Qin Lang opened his eyes curiously, looked at the secret letter carefully, his eyebrows twitched while looking at it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

The secret letter is a handwritten letter written by Shi Feng, the content is very brief: I am unable to do what I can, ask for help, Pingzhou will return to Qin.

Qin Lang threw the secret letter into the brazier, watched the secret letter turn into ashes, calmed down, put his hands on the burnt area of ​​the charcoal basin, and gently rubbed it back and forth.

If the guess is correct, Zhu Youwei and Liu Xuezhou started to counterattack. With the support of the Southern Six States, Yazhou, which was almost exhausted, would definitely not be able to support it.

If Qin Lang didn't take action, Shi Feng would have to spit out half of the land occupied by Pingzhou and Jiaozhou, and he would still face the danger of border violations.

Regarding Shi Feng, Qin Lang's strategy has always been to be far and near, to hit a candied date with a stick, to curb its rapid development, and to support it from being annexed by others.

When taking Jingzhou before, Shi Feng was asked to deal with Pingzhou. If Shi Feng did not send troops to deal with Pingzhou, Liu Xuezhou would have already been taken by him.

In fact, Shi Feng knew in his heart that once the troops were divided, it would definitely lead to a situation of attrition, but he had no choice but to admit that he couldn't beat Qin Lang.

At that time, when Shi Feng was asked to send troops to Pingzhou, he really had to bite the bullet. During the past six months, the feeling was not good.

In fact, as far as Pingzhou and Jiaozhou were concerned, Shi Feng was not afraid. Who knew that Zhu Youwei and Liu Xuezhou had secretly joined Li Ming's team seeing that Qin Lang was powerful, and that was why they had the support of Leizhou and Yizhou.

Fighting against the four states with one's own strength resulted in a stalemate, which showed that Shi Feng's strength was not bad, and also proved that Qin Lang's previous strategy was correct.

Now that Shi Feng took the initiative to ask for help, the situation must be extremely dangerous. He was willing to give up Pingzhou, which Qin Lang had promised not to want, which showed that Shi Feng had reached the end of his strength.

Qin Lang never did anything that made the cake icing on the cake, but Qin Lang was happy to do it for the life-saving grace in need.

Qin Lang on the seat made up his mind, raised his head abruptly, and said in a strong voice, "Chuan Baiqi, Jia Xu, Zhang Liao!"

Chapter 0186 Strikes Pingzhou

It was already early morning, and Bai Qi, who had just returned to the mansion and had not had time to fall asleep, was invited back by the servants of the Qin Palace.

In the Palace of the King of Qin, Qin Lang drank a bowl of strong tea and looked at the people sitting around the brazier.

"It happened suddenly, and the opportunity was fleeting. Yazhou asked for help, and I intended to strike Pingzhou in a flash. Do you have any objections?"

When Bai Qi heard it, he was excited. After resting for half a year, his heart was indeed a little itchy, especially the group of bastards under his hands, who were clamoring for war every day, and this time they could finally enjoy themselves.

Everyone sitting up stood up and clasped their fists at the same time, saying in unison: "I have no objection."

Qin Lang got up slowly, and said loudly: "Order: Bai Qi is the commander in chief, and is fully responsible for all matters in this battle. Li Jing is temporarily guarding all parts of Jingzhou."

"Order: Zhebie is the general of the vanguard cavalry army, and he will go straight to the North Camp in Pingzhou."

"Order: Zhang Liao is the main general and Li Siye is the deputy general. They will travel all day and night to help the Zhebe tribe and besiege the cities in Pingbei."

"Order: Bai Qi is the commander-in-chief, and Jia Xu, the military adviser, will quickly march into the territory of Pingzhou with a large army, and approach the main city of Pingzhou."

"Order: Wang Yanzhang, lead [-] Qinzhou spears, bypass Yazhou, and rush to help the Yazhou army on the frontal battlefield."

"Order: Wu Qi will be the main general, Zhang Han will be the deputy general, and lead a million Qinzhou army to the southeast to approach the main city of Pingzhou. After joining with Bai Qi's troops, they will be assigned to Bai Qi's unified dispatch."

"Order: Shenji Battalion and Shenyuan Battalion assist in breaking the city, there must be no mistakes!"

After Qin Lang finished speaking, he handed over the tiger talisman from the Qinzhou Camp to Wu Qi and Wang Yanzhang from the tray Xun Yu had prepared earlier, and then looked at Zhao Yun who was full of anticipation.

"Order: Zhao Yun leads one hundred thousand dragon-armored flying cavalry to cross Pingzhou and enter the border of Leizhou to block Leizhou's reinforcements. If necessary, he can go deep into the hinterland of Leizhou to demonstrate and intimidate him, and his blood will flow like a river!"

Hearing Qin Lang's order, Zhao Yun, who looked calm, secretly clenched his fists, and then naturally accepted the order, "This subordinate takes orders!"

Qin Lang waved his hand: "Prepare the army overnight and set off at dawn. I will receive a victory report within three days, and the battle will end within 25 days. I will personally go to the main city of Pingzhou to treat you to a celebration wine!"

The crowd dispersed, and the Palace of the King of Qin became quiet again. Qin Lang sat leisurely on a chair with Erlang's legs up and hummed the Eighteen Touches that could only be heard in the railing.

Seeing that Qin Lang was happy, Xun Yu joked, "My lord really dotes on General Zhao Yun. The Central Army has the best equipment, and even the mission is the easiest."

Qin Lang laughed and said, "Wen Ruo, you don't understand. Generals like Zhao Yun, Huo Qubing, Wen Yang, etc. are all my treasures. The battlefield is full of unexpected presence of heavenly soldiers. Let them fight The frontal battlefield is so boring, they can't play their true level."

"Just like hounds, let them stay with domestic dogs every day, and you won't see much difference, but if you release them out of the mountains, hehe, all wolf kings are younger brothers, and they dare to single out bears, blind tigers and tigers. .”

"Only by giving people like Zhao Yun enough space to perform, the energy they display is beyond our imagination."

Xun Yu stretched his waist and yawned: "My lord, just say that you know how to use people and make good use of them. I understand that it's getting late. I have to go back to sleep for a while, and I have to get up early in the morning." Check for omissions and fill vacancies before they leave, hey, work hard."

Qin Lang waved his hand to signal Xun Yu to leave quickly, and he got up and went back to the bedroom to rest. As soon as he entered the gate, Qin Lang realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

There was a special smell in the bedroom, and there seemed to be someone lying on the bed.

Qin Lang walked over on tiptoe and saw that it was Zhou Yao. Because of the earth fire dragon, even in winter, the palace of King Qin was as warm as spring.

Maybe Zhou Yao was afraid of the heat, so she only pulled a corner of the quilt to cover the mountains in front of her, while the rest of her body was as smooth and tender as a lotus root, so she could see it all at a glance.

Qin Lang squeezed Zhou Yao's upturned buttocks, and went to the distant bathing pool to take a quick bath.

When Qin Lang returned to the bed, the surrounding candles were blown out at some point, but the figure on the bed could be vaguely seen.

Taking off his nightgown, Qin Lang went to bed and hugged Bi Ren'er beside him, and began to taste without restraint.

But before taking a few bites, Qin Lang realized that something was wrong. The person in his arms was not Zhou Yao, but a stranger.

Her whole body seemed stiff, her breathing was rapid, and she was visibly nervous.

"Aren't you Zhou Yao? Who are you?"

Qin Lang quickly flew back, and with a wave of one hand, all the extinguished candles were instantly ignited.

Looking at the bed again, there was kneeling a woman that Qin Lang had never seen before.

"Who are you? If you don't say anything, I will kill you as an assassin."

Qin Lang's half-truth and half-false words made the woman cry in fright, she looked up with tears in her eyes, and looked at Qin Lang pitifully: "Yes...it's me..."

When Qin Lang heard the voice, he was familiar with it. He took a closer look at Lihua's charming face with rain. Isn't this Liu E who has a close relationship with Zhou Yao?

"No... why are you here? Oh, yes, it must be Zhou Yao who did it. Don't cry, wait until I find Zhou Yao and teach her a lesson. It's too much. , Zhou Yao!"

Qin Lang yelled loudly, and his words were obviously a little angry. Zhou Yao, who was hiding behind the curtain in the distance, came out with a snort: "What are you shouting about? Is there anyone who calls me sister? You don't want to be blessed. You deserve to sleep alone. goodbye!"

After Zhou Yao finished speaking, she wanted to abduct the door and run away. She was not stupid. If Qin Lang caught her, the angry Qin Lang would definitely beat her ass like a monkey's ass.

Just about to dodge to go out, who knew that Qin Lang grabbed it with one hand, and Zhou Yao flew back from the sky and fell directly on the bed.

"You're cheating, Qin Xiaolang, you're promising, you dare to hit even the teacher, don't you just know how to cast spells, what are you talking about, Liu E, let's go, we don't know how to eat the meat that is put into our mouths, let's not eat it!" Cheap him."

Zhou Yao, who was wearing a thin white silk shirt, picked up a thin black silk shirt from under the bed and put it on Liu E's body, dragging Liu E, who was blushing, to go out.

Zhou Yao speaks so hard, but she is actually more hypocritical than anyone else. The key is that she can't be cowardly in front of Liu E, she has to play the strong side.

But her heart was beating wildly at this moment, and she dragged Liu E for a few steps, and saw Qin Lang crossing his arms and looking at the two of them playfully.

"Why don't you stop us? Qin Xiaolang, you can't see that we wear so little. If you go out and eat tofu, you will be happy? Well, you are better than me. I don't wear any more, just go like this Go out and let others see your woman clearly, will you be satisfied?"

Zhou Yao tore off the white gauze skirt on her body, and then tore off the black gauze skirt on Liu E next to her. The louder she shouted, the more guilty she felt, and she didn't even dare to look Qin Lang in the eyes.

Liu E who was next to him was originally reluctant to come, Zhou Yao had been begging for nothing and worked for a long time to persuade him to come. Now that Qin Lang has seen, touched, and felt so disgusted, My heart is so sad that I don't want to stay here any longer.

With tears streaming down his face, he poked his elbow at you and Zhou Yao next to him, and said in a low voice, "Why don't we go first, I feel so ashamed, give me back my clothes."

Seeing that Qin Lang not only didn't stop him, but also laid back on the bed leisurely, Zhou Yao was immediately discouraged, and pulled Liu E to give him a look: "Spineless, didn't you agree when you came here, beat him, conquer him, take him prisoner He, you go first, and I will support you in the rear!"

Chapter 0187 confirms the strategy (new spring explosion four)

Two days later, Qin Lang, who had already thought clearly, summoned Zhuge Liang and other military ministers.

In the Palace of King Qin, Qin Lang stood in front of the huge map and outlined his plan. The overall meaning can be summed up in one sentence.

First stabilize the rear, and then plot the southern states.

As for the specific arrangements, Qin Lang doesn't need to worry about it. Zhuge Liang and other military advisers will prepare for the battle extremely meticulously.

Today's sunshine is good, and there is no important thing at hand, so I want to go to Xianyang City, especially Chen Xiyuan's Ladies' Street, since it opened until now, he hasn't visited yet.

I just wanted to take a look at the people's livelihood in Xianyang City a few years ago. In fact, I just wanted to be lazy and find an excuse to visit Chen Xiyuan and others.

Changing into casual clothes with Dian Wei and Xu Chu, Qin Lang swaggered away from the side door of the Qin Palace.

When passing by the Agricultural Administration Office, Qin Lang specially chose a very ordinary carriage. Before Qin Lang could give orders, an old man came out of nowhere and showed his token of Liulichang, and consciously acted as a groom.

Qin Lang said something to go to Women's Market, and then staggered in the carriage and mixed into the bustling crowd on the street.

Along the way, like a countryman who hadn't been to the city for a long time, Qin Lang was curious everywhere. Since he stayed in Longcheng for so long, the Xianyang City in his impression has long since faded away.

Going shopping at this time, Qin Lang realized that the Xianyang City today is no longer the Xianyang City in his memory.

The biggest difference is not because of the overcrowded streets or the dazzling array of shops today, but because the whole society has made great progress.

These improvements can be seen everywhere, so that in Qin Lang's view, there are surprises everywhere.

For example, Mala Tang, barbecue stalls, iced sweet soup, candied haws made of various fruits, braised duck neck, duck feet, duck intestines, duck heads and other snacks that can only be found in modern society have appeared on the street.

Stir-fried vegetables in iron pans have become the mainstream of the diet, hot pots with hot and spicy hot skewers can be seen everywhere, and all kinds of exquisitely shaped sweets are dazzling.

Eating can best reflect the living standards of the masses. If the streets and alleys do not even have such basic snacks, it means that the masses must not even have enough to eat.
