Ying Yuan looked at Dong Zhuo's departing back, feeling very puzzled.
Did I say anything?
Why does he seem more excited than me?
Did I ask him to chop off Li Xiaogong's head?
Thought about it for a long time.
Ying Yuan really didn't understand.
I stopped thinking about it.
That didn't matter to him either.
The important thing is...
"Li Yuanba, please don't let me down!"
"It would be best if you could beat me to death with one blow, so that I can suffer less."
Speaking of this.
Ying Yuan was already a little impatient.
On Dong Zhuo's side.
He only led an army of 200,000.
Because Li Xiaogong only had 200,000 men under his command.
Although Dong Zhuo went there to attack the city.
Even if he led an army of three or four hundred thousand, no one would say anything.
However, if he returns victorious, there will definitely be some voices in the court:
"What's so great about the fact that the Prince of Liang defeated Li Xiaogong? Give me 300,000 soldiers and I can defeat the enemy's 200,000-man army!"
"Our Qin army's arrow formation is unmatched in the world. We can attack a city with ease. We used 300,000 Qin soldiers to capture a city gate with 200,000 soldiers. What is there to brag about?"
“…”
So, in order to prevent such sounds from occurring.
On this trip, Dong Zhuo insisted on taking only 200,000 troops.
Jia Xu, Hua Xiong and others accompanied him.
Including Cao Cao's 300,000 troops, there are also more than 100,000 troops outside Muye Pass.
Ying Yuan still has 900,000 soldiers and horses that he can lead.
now.
He wanted to personally lead an army of 900,000, bypass Shanzhou and go straight to Qizhou.
On Li Shimin's side, the current army is 700,000.
Seven hundred thousand versus nine hundred thousand.
Li Shimin was the one defending the city.
At first glance, they were evenly matched with the Qin army.
However, the battle that the Qin army has been best at over the years is siege warfare.
For every city gate captured by the Qin State, the ratio of casualties to enemy casualties was one to one.
This is a very terrifying numerical ratio.
You know, the art of war says that if you want to attack a city, you must have three times as many troops as the enemy.
However, the Qin army only needed about 100,000 soldiers to capture a city defended by 100,000 people!
Of course, the Qin army’s previous enemies were the Chu army and the Jin army.
It’s hard to say when facing the Yan army.
After all, for the Qin army, the most difficult battle they fought was the battle for Mingtai Prefecture in Jin.
This battle is regarded as a classic cold weapon battle in later generations.
Both sides used human flesh to fill the gap.
Do it with real weapons.
The casualty ratio is also extremely exaggerated.
It is not inferior to the "Battle of Xiangji Temple" in Ying Yuan's previous life.
Even worse than before.
On the march.
Shui Yunji, who is responsible for serving Ying Yuan, has been in a depressed state these days.
Seeing this, Ying Yuan said nothing.
In fact, he was really surprised by Li Maozhen's death.
Logically speaking, shouldn't Li Maozhen stand firmly with Li Shimin and then deal with himself?
How could they target each other?
Of course, none of this matters anymore.
Speaking of which, Ying Yuan also has to thank Li Maozhen.
If it weren't for his death.
Ying Yuan was still unable to confirm whether Prince Zhao of Xifu had followed Li Shimin to the expedition.
After all, the three guards and the scouts in the army have never focused their investigation on this.
They are more concerned with investigating the enemy's movements.
Ying Yuan had no intention of comforting Shui Yunji.
How can you comfort someone who is dead?
However, Shui Yunji looked at Ying Yuan and asked seriously:
"Your Majesty, you suddenly changed your strategic goal and headed to Qizhou. Are you trying to avenge my brother?"
ah?
revenge?
Ying Yuan smiled and shook his head.
What kind of revenge is that?
Who is Li Maozhen? Is he worthy of my revenge?
He was too disdainful to explain such questions.
However, when Shui Yunji saw his expression, she became more determined in her thoughts.
"Your Majesty has treated me so well, I have no way to repay you..."
Talking and talking.
She gently took off her clothes and said lovingly:
"Your Majesty... Please allow me to serve you well tonight."
She boasted that she had determined Ying Yuan's inner thoughts.
The love in her heart for Ying Yuan is also a little stronger than before.
...
On the Qizhou side.
Li Shimin hung Li Maozhen's head on the top of the city wall.
In addition, a notice was posted that King Qi was plotting a rebellion.
For a time, the people of Qizhou wanted to eat Li Maozhen's flesh and blood.
In the State of Yan, the common people still recognized Emperor Li Shimin.
now.
Inside Prince Qi's palace.
Li Shimin and some of his confidants were discussing the affairs of Qizhou.
The 200,000 troops under Li Maozhen were now under his personal command.
For Li Shimin, it was a good thing to solve the trouble in Qizhou without bloodshed.
"Speaking of which, I also want to thank Qin Emperor Ying Yuan. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't even have a reason to kill Li Maozhen."
As the most powerful person in Dayan.
In fact, we can't just kill people at will.
Of course, ordinary people are excluded.
If you kill people who are extremely famous, it will easily cause some negative effects.
If this gets widely spread, people will say that this emperor is good at killing loyal and good people.
Just when the king and his ministers of Yan State were extremely happy.
Sudden.
A scout came over quickly, knelt on one knee and said:
"Your Majesty, something terrible is happening!"
