Chapter 295 Prelude to Melee

In Nanyang County and City Lord's Mansion, Kong Donglai frowned. Nangong Zhi is not here, he has already gone to the front line to defend in the northwest direction. Now the front line is a mess, and even Nangong Zhi can barely maintain it, but he must continue to "exchange space for time and wait for opportunities". If it is exposed, he will continue to retreat.

"The way of war has changed!" Nanyang County's advisers, Wen Cheng, and Guo Hongyan sighed leisurely.

Kong Donglai also sighed, "I hate Anyang, I hate Li Xian. Li Xian and industry and commerce should have been killed in the cradle back then!"

After saying an angry and nonsense word, Kong Donglai finally calmed down and began to analyze: "In the current situation, industrial technology has shown a strong killing ability, and the army in the gas refining period has lost its effect. Can we use the foundation building period to achieve success?" Army, engage in guerrilla tactics?

Let the army in the refining period withdraw, engage in production and industry, and speed up cultivation at the same time. By the way, how is the discussion going on about buying a large number of 'Lingquan' from Anyang? "

Guo Hongyan pursed her lips tightly, "Anyang said that until the compensation is paid off, Nanyang County cannot buy anything from Anyang; if you want to buy something, you can only use land to trade! So, now we can only use land to trade with Anyang."

"Bang!" Kong Donglai slapped the table fiercely, "Okay, agree to Anyang's request! Get enough spiritual liquid as soon as possible, and cultivate more foundation-building stages as soon as possible. As long as there are more foundation-building stages, we will go grab Guangling County and The land of Songzhou County!

In addition, (Kong) Yingzhi, how is the industry developing now? "

Kong Yingzhi said in a low tone, "The first usable internal combustion engine has just been produced. But the fuel is lacking. The production of artillery and guns still needs to be adjusted with the help of spells in the foundation period. The quality...is not very good."

Anyang gave Dongyuan County and Nanyang County a set of basic machine tools and a few materials; but Anyang is still very kind in doing business, and these technologies are enough for Nanyang County to explore and build its own industrial base, which is enough to produce: Guns, artillery, and internal combustion engines, with internal combustion engines, there are many things, such as locomotives and trains.

However, industry is not so simple, there must be technology, talents, and steel; in a word, everything needs to be accumulated, not to say that there is something. This industrial development is also very similar to practice. What Li Xian gave to Nanyang County is "a practice". If you want to implement the "work method", Nanyang County needs to "practice slowly".

But now, Nanyang County doesn't have that time! Gao Bin, governor of Songzhou County, is like a greedy wolf who can always "smell" the location of food and is also highly alert.

Previously, in the face of Anyang's sudden attack, Gao Bin was able to escape without a fight, and in the end he didn't even send anyone to notify Nanyang County to defend. Why? For now!

When the wars between Nanyang County, Dongyuan County, Anyang and Jin Kingdom were over, and everyone was extremely exhausted, especially when Nanyang County was unprecedentedly empty, before Nanyang County had time to digest the technology obtained from Anyang, they brazenly sent troops!

And not only sent troops by themselves, but also sent troops in conjunction with Guangling County.

Guangling County held a third prince in his hands, who was still a false emperor, and immediately issued an imperial decree: "Nanyang County is rebellious and rebellious, and it looks like a rebellion. All the kings will punish him."

Well, the only "lords" are Gao Bin, the governor of Songzhou County, Wang Yuhe, the governor of Guangling County, and the newly appointed Taiwei Shangguan Guang. Among them, Wang Yuhe and Shangguan Guang belonged to the Wang family, they were the same breed.

Songzhou County and Guangling County jointly dispatched troops and attacked outrageously. The 500,000 troops defeated the first line of defense in Nanyang County, which had not had time to breathe after the war; Thousands of people fled to the second line of defense in the rear.

The situation is extremely critical, and Nanyang County can only pin its hopes on "machinery and arms" for a short time. In a short period of time, where to find so many masters, there is no time to gather more soldiers. Today's soldiers not only have to be cultivated, but also have to adapt to the rapidly changing battlefield.

Therefore, Kong Donglai specially asked his most capable eldest son, Kong Yingzhi, to be in charge of technology, industry, and arms. But the time was too short, Kong Donglai could only get the most disappointing result.

Seeing this, Guo Hongyan was helpless. A clever woman can't cook without rice, Guo Hongyan may be good, but Guo Hongyan herself is not a pure counselor, but more inclined towards the direction of scribes and ministers. At this moment, I can only come up with a mediocre idea: "Let's contact the First Prince in the north and let the First Prince attack Guangling County and Songzhou County from the north.

If Songzhou County of Guangling County defeats us, the First Prince will also be threatened.

It is not necessary for the Great Prince of the North to send many troops, as long as about 100,000 troops, it is enough for the 500,000 troops of Guangling County and Songzhou County to withdraw 200,000 troops. In this way, we have a chance of victory. "

Kong Donglai looked at the sand table, was silent for a while, and finally nodded. "This matter, I'm afraid I will have to trouble you all the way."

"Naturally." Guo Hongyan did not refuse. On the one hand, this is his own strategy, so of course he has to implement it himself; on the other hand, it is not so easy to go to the First Prince as an envoy, and the current First Prince is actually a bit overwhelmed——Cai Kingdom in the north, Li Yulong’s Tang Kingdom in the east, and the Northwest Kingdom. Even with the mighty Chen State, he dare not take it lightly. What's more, there is Anyang behind Li Yulong!

Therefore, it is not an ordinary difficulty to persuade the First Prince to send troops; the only people in Nanyang County who have the ability to persuade the First Prince and who are of sufficient status are Kong Donglai and Guo Hongyan. Kong Donglai couldn't leave, so Guo Hongyan could only go.

Without further ado, Guo Hongyan simply packed up and left; take the plane. Needless to say, it is not uncommon for planes to be in the territory of Great Xia now.

Anyang sells engines, propellers, bearings, standard parts, etc., and everyone can assemble them after buying them.

The plane did not dare to fly directly above Songzhou County, so Guo Hongyan took the plane and flew to Anyang first, and then detoured from Anyang to Wuyang County, and then flew to the area controlled by the First Prince.

In this way, the time was delayed by nearly three hours. At this moment when every second counts, soldiers die almost every moment; and every moment of delay, Nanyang County is in danger.

After finally reaching the area controlled by the First Prince, Guo Hongyan revealed his identity and purpose, and let him go directly; then he flew all the way to Baofeng County Government Office and Wufeng City.

Eldest Prince, no, it was His Majesty the Emperor who sat on the throne and received Guo Hongyan.

After Guo Hongyan paid a visit, the eldest prince sneered: "Guo Hongyan, I ask you, what is your identity to ask for help!"

Guo Hongyan was a little dumbfounded, this question is really difficult to answer - because the eldest prince himself is "not right and wrong", you are not ashamed to ask this question. But it doesn't matter, Guo Hongyan's ability to become Wen Cheng of Nanyang County is not for nothing. Immediately panicked, "My lord, Wencheng and Guo Hongyan of Daxia Kingdom and Nanyang County have seen His Majesty."

"Oh... Nanyang County is still loyal to the Great Xia Kingdom?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Nanyang County has never had any dissent, it was just forced by the situation; now it is blocked by the governor of Songzhou County and other rebellious officials and thieves.

Nanyang County is willing to join forces with His Majesty to attack Gao Bin, a rebellious minister and traitor.

In addition, Nanyang County will publicly announce its support for His Majesty. "

The First Prince put on a show: "Hey... we are also in difficulties now. Li Yulong rebelled in the east, Cai State in the north, and Chen State in the west. Now there are many crises, and we have more energy than we have. What can we do?"

Guo Hongyan was impassioned: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, we should continue to suffer from it, if we continue to confront, the situation will only get worse.

In today's Great Xia Kingdom, the changes caused by industry, commerce and industrial technology are intensifying. If the Great Xia cannot be unified in the shortest possible time, the future will be worrying.

Once everyone's technology is developed, the situation will get out of hand, and Anyang is the best example; Anyang, which is only a county, has beaten Jin with no power to fight back, so that it has to apologize and sign eight major treaties. Unequal treaties.

What's more, the surrounding countries are developing industry, industry and commerce; these countries are complete and unified, and the speed of development is bound to be extremely fast, and they will quickly surpass us.

Therefore, the longer it takes, the more dangerous our Great Xia Kingdom will be. At this moment, we should send out thunderous soldiers to quickly control Wuyang County and Songzhou County; and then destroy Guangling County. Afterwards, with the prestige of victory, he united with Jin and Cai to destroy the Li family in one fell swoop, and regained Kaiping and Anyang counties. "

After finishing speaking, Guo Hongyan looked at the eldest prince quietly. Having said that, it is already a confession; it is only waiting for the eldest prince to make a final decision.
