    The night was as dark as ink.

    In Lu Shengqi's camp, the Chinese army's tent was located.

    Lu Shengqi sat on the main seat, his face like the bottom of a pot.  The candlelight in the tent flickered, and the light illuminated it, highlighting the gloominess of Lu Shengqi's face and the anger in his eyes.

    In the daytime battle, he suffered huge losses.

    Lai Qing was killed.

    Zheng Yuan was also killed.

    Both of them were generals under his command, but they all died on the battlefield.  Especially in the attack on the Nanyang camp, Lu Shengqi only invested 10,000 people at the beginning, and later invested a total of 20,000 people.

    After the first battle, the losses were huge, especially when the opponent was not captured in the end, but Wang Qi's cavalry covered them up.  Finally, after counting the losses, we found that our own losses amounted to nearly 17,000 soldiers.

    The loss is too great.

    You must know that Lu Shengqi brought a total of 50,000 people to this battle, but lost more than 17,000 people.

    Nearly one-third of the troops were lost.

    Now that Wang Qi's army has arrived, Lu Shengqi's small force may not be able to resist Wang Qi if he really wants to fight head-on.

    Lu Shengqi's eyes fell on Zhu Yumin and He Peiqi, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhu Qing, He Qing, and Wang Qi are leading the army to the north. It is estimated that the war will begin tomorrow. If we have not lost the army, it is okay and we will just start the war. But  In today's battle, we lost nearly 20,000 people, which was a huge loss. What do you think we should do next?"

    It was originally suggested by Zhu Yumin and He Peiqi to attack Nanyang.

    After all, Nanyang is too wealthy.

    Taking Nanyang means grabbing countless money and grain.

    Lu Shengqi was also moved, so he agreed to send troops.

    Zhu Yumin frowned and said: "Your Majesty, we have sent troops to attack Wang Qi. Now that we have sent troops, there is no way to retreat. Now if we return to Linzi, what will the people in the entire Qi Kingdom think of us? It will definitely affect your Majesty's reputation. This will  In this battle, we must continue to fight and persevere.¡±

    Lu Shengqi said: "I know this situation. The question is, how to fight?"

    Zhu Yumin was speechless for a while.

    It¡¯s a bit difficult.

    You must know that although Wang Qi is only the Prime Minister of a country, Wang Qi led troops in the Langya Kingdom to conquer the east and west, pacifying the Langya Kingdom in a short period of time, and now he has captured Donghai County and Pengcheng Kingdom.

    Such people are good at fighting.

    Today¡¯s battle with Zhuge Qingshan was not Wang Qi¡¯s direct army.

    You can see how elite and fierce they are.

    Meeting Wang Qi was even more different.

    He Peiqi stroked the beard under his chin and said in a deep voice: "I have an idea about this matter."

    Lu Shengqi's eyes lit up, he leaned forward slightly and asked, "What can I do?"

    He Peiqi said: "Your Majesty immediately issued an edict to summon the princes from all over the Qi Kingdom to come to your aid and ask them to help you attack the Langya Kingdom. Your Majesty promised that as long as the Langya Kingdom is captured, the interests will be divided among them. We have insufficient military strength in all parts of the Qi Kingdom.  Young Master, as long as someone comes to help, it will not be difficult to defeat Wang Qi."

    The situation in Qi State is relatively chaotic.

    Lu Shengqi proclaimed himself emperor and founded the country, and was the emperor of Qi.  However, his sphere of influence is only the area under the jurisdiction of Qi State in Qingzhou. Outside this area, although the other countries and counties in Qingzhou all respect Lu Shengqi, they all have their own strength and weapons.

    The local system of the Zhou Dynasty was the state and county system.  However, below the state, there were feudal states at the same level as the county.

    This is a feudal state where the royal family is entrusted to local areas.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Although they have a vassal state, in fact they can only collect local taxes and have no regard for government affairs, nor can they interfere with the appointment of state ministers and captains.

    Qi State is a relatively large vassal state in Qingzhou, and Lu Shengqi's jurisdiction is in this area.  As for other places in Qingzhou, they listen to the tune but not the propaganda.

    After Lu Shengqi heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened.

    There are countless local armed forces within Qi State.

    The large forces are said to have more than 10,000 people, or even 20,000 or 30,000 people, while the small ones have thousands of people.  With a few groups of local forces coming, there would be no problem if his troops numbered more than 100,000.

    In fact, this is also the reason why Qingzhou is in turmoil and the place is barren.

    Armed forces from all over the country are arresting young people one after another and recruiting people to enrich their armies.  As a result, only the old and the weak are left in the local area. If they want to cultivate the land and govern the local area, it is impossible to do so.

    After all, there are no people in the place, so how can we manage it?

    Lu Shengqi thought about something??, said in a deep voice: "He Qing's suggestion is good, let's do it like this."

    He Peiqi said: "Your Majesty is wise."

    Seeing this, Zhu Yumin opened his mouth to object, but the moment he opened his mouth, he swallowed it back.  There is currently no way to deal with Wang Qi, and He Peiqi's strategy is the most suitable.

    Although there may not be anyone coming from the place, at least Lu Shengqi has expectations.

    After Zhu Yumin thought it over, he did not make trouble and said proactively: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister He's suggestion is excellent. But in my opinion, it is still not safe enough."

    Lu Shengqi asked: "How do you say it?"

    Zhu Yumin said: "The local forces all have their own ideas. So now we simply recruit troops again and promise that all those who defect to the army will be rewarded when we break Langya Kingdom."

    "You must know that in our Qi State, in addition to local forces, there are also some other forces."

    "For example, Yang Shanjun, the big bandit in Jiuhuang Mountain in Beihai Kingdom, and some other bandits. These people are entrenched in the local area, their strength is not weak, and they have a group of elite soldiers."

    "We are recruiting extensively, what if they come to join us? After all, Nanyang is rich and everyone knows it. Breaking Nanyang will mean countless money and treasures, so I believe there will be people willing to join us."

    Zhu Yumin also put forward his own ideas.

    I just want to show off.

    Lu Shengqi stroked his beard and thought about it, and said with approval: "Yes, Zhu Qing's suggestion is also very good."

    Immediately, Lu Shengqi said: "In that case, we will act according to this plan and arrange for people to notify various places and have people gather. But for now, we will focus on defense. Otherwise, once both sides are fighting to the death, we may not be able to hold on.  "

    He Peiqi said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

    Zhu Yumin said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

    For the two of them, although there is a fight between them, they also know that if the skin is not there, the hair will be there.  Once Lu Shengqi loses, they will have nowhere to go.

    Now, we still have to hope that Lu Shengqi can defeat Wang Qi's army.

    After the matter was settled, Zhu Yumin and He Peiqi immediately went to jointly make arrangements and implement the order.  Then, the two quickly mobilized the soldiers in the army and deployed the defense overnight to prepare for the next defense.

    Time passes, and one night is fleeting.

    The next day, early morning.

    The soldiers under Lu Shengqi's command dispersed lazily and did not practice in the morning.  After breakfast in the morning, except for the soldiers on patrol, the other soldiers rested lazily.

    "Boom! Boom!!"

    The sound of drums suddenly sounded, coming from outside the camp.

    The sound of the mighty war drums became more and more exciting, as if thousands of soldiers and horses were attacking on a large scale.

    Lu Shengqi had just finished breakfast and was sleeping in the camp when he was suddenly awakened by the sound of drums. He hurriedly put on his clothes and armor, and ordered the army to assemble.

    Lu Shengqi hurried to the entrance of the camp.

    Zhu Yumin and He Peiqi also followed, and the other soldiers gathered in a panic from all directions and quickly formed an array in the camp.

    Lu Shengqi stood at the entrance of the camp, looked around and saw the army outside the camp.

    Wang Qi¡¯s army is approaching.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
