Chapter 607: Invasion

"If this army wins a local battle, the ambitions of not only Japan but also the Western countries will be extremely expanded, and a frenzy of carve-up will begin." Zhao Xu pursed his lips.

He would definitely let this happen.

Facing Japan's temptation, he will not hide his strength.

Because once you show your weak side, wolves will swarm you.

Only by making them afraid will they take action and act hesitantly.

Only in this way can Yanzhou win more development time.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu gave Chang Wei an order to deal with the Qi army that had sneaked into Yanzhou and only needed to leave a few alive to exchange for it. At the same time, after this small conflict, he was ready to take action against Qi.

Yanzhou's flank is safe

He also used smallpox to carry out a strategic intimidation similar to nuclear blackmail against the powerful people, and solved the trade problem.

Next, if he does not poison, the powerful clan will continue to trade, and they will fight when necessary.

After all, this is nothing more than akin to contemporary international war rules, which for example do not allow the use of weapons of mass destruction in war.

At the same time, another factor that made him decide to take action was the Qi State and Nanliang. One was introduced to Beidi and the other to Japan. This was tantamount to his own brothers getting into trouble and forcing outsiders to beat their own family members. He abhorred this kind of behavior and could not tolerate it.

And he knew very well that if this division was allowed to continue, as time entered modern times and the West and other countries arrived, they would be happy to see Dasong split into several countries.

And will do everything possible to prevent Dasong from becoming a unified country again.

After all, there is such a big country in the East, which is a nightmare for Western countries.

Especially when this country gets rid of ignorance and gradually moves towards industrialization, it is simply their destiny enemy.

Therefore, we cannot wait any longer, the horn of war is about to sound.

After more than a day, his order arrived at Fan Yang.

At this time, the detective horse from the royal family's army had discovered the Qi army trying to sneak into Yanzhou.

"General, they are sixty miles southwest of Changping County. It only takes half a day's journey to reach Yanzhou."

Chang Wei nodded. This Changping County is southeast of Fan Yang and is also the closest county to Qi State.

"How many troops are there in Changping County?" He just came from Guangning County, and Qin Shan adjusted his troop deployment, so he asked.

Nanshan County is in charge of Qinshan, Guantong and Luchang respectively.

Among them, Qin Shan was in charge of Fan Yang, and Qin Shan also arranged the arrangement of troops and horses in Fan Yang.

"Back to the general, I have deployed 3,000 troops in Changping County, including 2,500 infantry, 500 cavalry, and 24 field artillery."

"Immediately send fast horses to Changping County and order them to send 800 infantry and 200 cavalry to annihilate the Qi army that entered Yanzhou territory." Chang Wei said.

"Yes, general." Qin Shan turned and left.

"Remember, you only need to leave a few alive." Chang Wei added.

Qin Shan stopped and nodded.

When he arrived outside the general's mansion, he called a group of detective horses and asked them to head to Changping County as quickly as possible.

Naturally, they are not worried about the safety of Changping County.

With these three thousand soldiers and horses, even if tens of thousands of people come from Qi, they can still resist for a period of time.

But there are still many villages scattered outside Changping County.

Now, they and Qi are enemies who hate each other.

This army will inevitably burn, kill, and loot when they enter Yanzhou. They don't want the people to suffer losses.

Therefore, we must destroy this army before they cause losses to Yanzhou.

Within an hour, Tan Ma arrived in Changping County and conveyed Qin Shan's order.

Under the leadership of a school captain, more than a thousand soldiers of the royal palace, led by Tan Ma, went straight to the Qi army.

Dachang Village.

The rice fields in October have turned slightly yellow, and the autumn wind is blowing up waves of yellow and green.

At this time, many urchins in the village were catching grasshoppers in the fields.

At this moment, a tall naughty boy pointed to the south, "Look, what is that?"

The urchins looked over one after another, and one child shouted: "That's Qi's army!"

The sound frightened the other children, who ran back to the village and told everyone the news.

The news of the founding of the Han family, a powerful family, had long spread in nearby villages.

After all, they are only a short distance of more than ten miles from the border of Qi State.

The people of Qi State on the other side of the border were also asked not to go to Yanzhou.

At the same time, Qi cavalry often patrols the border.

Although the villagers thought it was ridiculous, they could only accept this fact.

After all, the government has sent officials to the village, asking them to be vigilant at all times and report to the government immediately if they discover the situation.

Therefore, the shouts of the urchins naturally attracted the attention of the adults in the village.

The village's security chief immediately led the village soldiers to the entrance of the village.

Just as the urchins said, there was indeed an army coming towards their village, only a few hundred meters away.

"Let the villagers hide in the tunnels."

After confirming the enemy situation, the security guard looked serious.

Then, they returned to the village and got into the dug tunnel.

Their village only had more than 600 people, while the other party seemed to have at least 1,000 people, so they could only take shelter temporarily.

If the situation goes bad, they can only run out of the village through the tunnel and then escape to the county seat.

At the same time, the Qi army was getting closer and closer.

In front of the team, two generals rode side by side, but they didn't communicate much.

This was because one of them was a general from Qi and the other from Japan, and they didn't speak the same language.

The team behind the general from Qi was longer, with more than 900 people, while there were only more than 100 people behind the general from Japan.

"Ahahaha... there's a village ahead, maybe there will be a lot of beautiful women in it."

""We must have fun this time when we come to Dasong."

"You're right. Compared to Japan, our life here is just like that of a god. We have wine and meat every day, and officials from Qi also send us beauties every day for us to enjoy."

"I heard that Dasong Jiangnan is richer than Qi, and the women are more beautiful than each other. When we, Japan, occupy Dasong, life will be more comfortable."

""Hahaha..."

The Japanese soldiers laughed.

The soldiers from Qi looked at the Japanese soldiers who were shaking and felt a little puzzled. They couldn't understand what they were laughing at.

The Japanese general also raised his lips, and it was obvious that his heart was the same as that of the Japanese soldiers.

This time, they paid such a high price, but they were not here to play.

Qi was just a parasitic shell for them, and when the time was right, their Japanese army would truly set foot on the land of Dasong.
