Chapter 1427: Official meeting (2)

“If you don’t want your family to be destroyed, then help defend the city with your life. This way, you’ll be able to exhaust the rebel Army’s strength. However, this was under the condition that the Imperial court had reinforcements. Ziqian, you’ve done a good job in compromising.”

As he spoke, he looked at the disciple he was proud of and laughed, ”

“Farewell. Come and analyze the situation in Qingzhou for everyone.”

The prefect of Qingzhou, the commander, the judge, and the officials and generals under them all looked at him.

Xu niannian did not have stage fright. He straightened his back and slowly swept his gaze across the crowd.

“I think that how long can Qingzhou be defended and how to defend it, there are three points that you must understand.

“One, the environment of Yunzhou!

“The weather in Yunzhou is warm and humid, the land is fertile, and every household has surplus grain.In the past twenty years, the rebel party had secretly eroded the water transport Yamen of the Imperial court and transported countless iron ores in secret. He didn’t lack salt, iron, or grain.

“In such a rich land, if administrator yang wants to use refugees and poor people to drag down the other party, it’s just a drop in the bucket.”

“Then according to Lord Xu’s meaning, emissary yang bu’s strategy is inappropriate?” The magistrate of Qingzhou frowned.

Xu niannian shook his head. emissary yang bu’s strategy will naturally not be wrong, but the focus should be changed. Don’t think about dragging them down, but kill their elites.

He looked at the map of the Qing and Yun prefectures on the wall behind yang Gong and said in a deep voice, ”

“We’re back in Yunzhou. Do you still remember the other name of Yunzhou?

“Bandit province!

“Ever since Emperor Gaozu, Yunzhou was occupied by the rebels of the previous dynasty, who turned into mountain bandits and wreaked havoc in the region. For the past six hundred years, Yunzhou’s bandit problem had never been solved.

do you all still remember the population of Yunzhou when the Yellow Book was last remade? ”

The officials looked at each other, but no one knew.

They were officials of Qingzhou. How could they know about Yunzhou?

Yang Gong tapped the table with his finger and glanced at the officials with dissatisfaction. He slowly said, ”

the last time was in the 30th year of yuanjing. There were 830000 households in Yunzhou recorded, and the population was about 3.5 million.

This was the data from eight years ago.

Xu Erlang cupped his hands and continued with a calm expression, ”

“If I remember correctly, every time the Yellow Book is re-created, the population of Yunzhou is decreasing sharply. This is the price of running rampant with bandits.”

At this moment, the officials already understood what he wanted to say.

the population limits the number of their troops. In addition, in the past few decades, the training and training of their troops have been carried out in secret. Xu Erlang knocked on the table with his fist and said in a powerful voice, ”

“The lack of elite soldiers is the greatest weakness of the rebel side. Regardless of the price, we must kill their elites. This is what we should do.”

“Reasonable!” Everyone nodded slowly.

Zhang Shen, yang Gong, and Li Mubai looked at each other and smiled.

Xu niannian raised two fingers and said, ”

“2. Combat strength!

“A transcendent’s combat power is a factor that can not be ignored in a war. Sometimes, a transcendent can even reverse the outcome of a conventional battle.”

The reason why he used the “normal” battle map was because there were super large battle maps in this world, like the Battle of Shanhai Pass.

It was very difficult for a single transcendent to turn the tide of a war that swept across all the major forces of the nine regions. It was not that transcendents were not strong enough, but that there were too many transcendent experts participating in the battle, so it was not surprising.

Of course, it would be a different story if it was a Supreme-grade or a first-grade martial artist.

“Who is the commander of the enemy?” li Mubai suddenly asked.

“His surname is Qi and his name is Guang Bo. He’s a nobody,” yang Gong replied.

“A nameless person leading the three armies?” Zhang Shen’s brows raised.

“Nameless doesn’t mean untalented,” yang Gong said slowly. On the contrary, this person was extremely powerful. He sent troops to drive away the refugees, then let experts mix in with the refugees to numb the defenders, and easily approached the city wall. Huang Ling County, which was at the border, was caught off guard like this and only managed to hold on for a day before it was broken through.”
