Chapter 351
"Your Majesty, are we really going to give up like this?" Who is willing to let go of the fat that is put to his mouth.

Liu Jianxing closed his eyes and opened them again, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, "Otherwise, what good plan do you have? Xuzhou is my base camp, and I will never allow any problems to occur in Xuzhou! Judging from the current situation, Chang Yuan's child has already prepared it , I’m afraid even if we make all the preparations, we won’t be able to capture the other half of Yuzhou!”

Fan Boqun responded: "Your Majesty is right, all of this should have been settled by Chang Yuan long ago. He knew that there was no way to stop our coalition, so he secretly sent Wang Hanting out in advance. Wang Hanting's three thousand cavalry and the Beiqiong people were together. After the war, they are famous all over the world and should not be underestimated. If they are allowed to break into the palace, they will be in trouble."

Some people were unconvinced and said, "We are not prepared this time. As long as we send some troops back and guard them carefully, what kind of trouble can his three thousand cavalry cause?"

Fan Boqun sneered, "What kind of storm are you creating? I think you are confused. It's not that I am proud of others and destroy my own ambition. With the thunder in my hand, are those city walls any different from paper to them? As long as there are no city walls, Can you still stop the cavalry that kills Beiqiong people and rushes like wolves and dolphins?"

The man was speechless and couldn't speak for a long time.

Liu Jianxing slammed the table and stood up abruptly, "Okay, there's no need to talk about this anymore. I'll bring people back to help immediately. This time, it seems that no one will get any benefits."

Then he gave an order, and the logistics troops were packing up.

The soldiers charging at the front were also called back, and the siege was suspended.

These actions were not hidden from several major aristocratic families, and the Wang family and several major aristocratic families brought people to find them.

As soon as they entered the camp, they questioned him rudely.

"Your Majesty, what does this mean? Now is a great opportunity. We have consumed a lot of their arrows in the past few days, and I am afraid we don't have much in stock anymore. If we continue to attack, we will definitely gain something. Why don't you take advantage of the victory and pursue it!" said the head of the Wang family! You're welcome.

Liu Jianxing frowned, "Are you questioning me?"

The face of the head of the Wang family softened, and his attitude became a little more respectful, "Your Majesty is too worried, and I am too anxious."

Liu Jianxing's face was a little gloomy. Now was not the time to break up. Seeing that the other party took a step back, he pretended to be polite and said, "Mr. Wang, I'm afraid you don't know yet. Wang Hanting has led his cavalry to Xuzhou. Yesterday, he made a surprise attack and left a trail in the entire city. It was in ruins and even killed outside the palace. If the people led by Mr. Zhao Wenwu and Mr. Zhao had been a step slower, the palace must have fallen into the hands of Wang Hanting by now."

The head of the Wang family frowned, "I have just learned about this matter. Even if this is the case, Your Majesty can send a team of troops to come back for reinforcements. There is no need to evacuate."

Fan Boqun cupped his hands at them and said, "Everyone, we have never received news that Wang Hanting sent troops, and now not long after we attacked Yuzhou, news came from Xuzhou that Wang Hanting led people to wreak havoc. Don't you understand that all of this is Chang Yuan's conspiracy? He has already seen through our plan."

"Previously, I thought it was an accident that the third general who sat down in Hongyuan City to attack Huaixi Prefecture was shot to death with a crossbow. Now I think they have been prepared for us to get in."

"This..." Several people from aristocratic families hesitated.

"Everyone, Chang Yuan is not as simple as we thought. If Ning Changrong, who has no fame, can be valued by Chang Yuan, he must be outstanding. Now Wang Hanting's troops are outside Xuzhou City. If we don't Xuzhou will definitely not be able to stop his troops if he withdraws his troops. It is meaningless to just send some people there for reinforcements." Fan Boqun added.

"But if we miss this opportunity, Chang Yuan will definitely not let us go." The head of the Wang family frowned.

The refugees are driven out again, the plague breaks out, and they monopolize food in Taixi County. If Chang Yuan can wait for Chang Yuan to recover, they will be the ones to be dealt with in the future. "We can't bet that we can't take Chang Yuan. We still have Xuzhou. If we forcefully attack Yuzhou here, not only will we not be able to take it for a while, but we will even lose Xuzhou." Fan Boqun said.

The head of the Li family was a little reluctant, "But if we really retreat, wouldn't we make other people laugh? A mere three thousand cavalrymen forced back one hundred thousand of our soldiers."

"Does Mr. Li really think there are only three thousand cavalry? Since Chang Yuan can send Wang Hanting out, doesn't he have other back-ups? Why were those small cities captured so easily? Are the soldiers really brave? Don't you? Did you find that all those small cities are mixed in among the major cities?"

"Hold the big city, but what will happen if we take the small cities? I think it won't be long before we receive news of the withdrawal of troops from Youzhou and Jingzhou." Fan Boqun said quietly.

The heads of several major aristocratic families are a little surprised. According to Fan Boqun's speculation, it means that they have been seen through by the opponent from beginning to end, and the opponent has already prepared a backup plan. If they do not retreat, the opponent will be directly destroyed. their rear area.

……

Several family masters were finally convinced. Now they are tied to the same boat as these people and have to go to the end. If the other party dies, Chang Yuan will not be able to accept them.

"I finally left. These old men don't know anything. They only know how to point fingers and act arrogantly all day long thinking they are who they are."

"Didn't we just support us with some food? Didn't we also give their tribesmen a lot of official posts? They have no respect for His Majesty at all! If you ask me, they should be killed. Anyway, if you kill them, you will lose everything. It’s ours.”

Liu Jianxing stopped him, "Okay, don't talk nonsense. If you are really capable, pick up the knife and kill them immediately."

After becoming emperor, he relied on the names of these aristocratic families to win over many scholars. If he really killed these people, it would definitely cause a backlash from those scholars.

Every time these aristocratic families came to point fingers, Liu Jianxing envied Chang Yuan very much. As an emperor, he was not as comfortable as a general. He was suppressed everywhere. Although he was not short of food or money, he was not happy as an emperor.

"If you ask me, let's follow Chang Yuan's example and let low-level soldiers help manage the place. We are all our own people. Do we need those scholars?"

Fan Boqun said, "You are thinking too easily. Do you really think that Chang Yuan asked those big-headed soldiers who have never read any books to directly manage the place? They have been trained."

"Let's train too! Learn from others, otherwise you will be controlled by these old guys all day long. They will want to get involved in everything you do."

Liu Jianxing was a little moved. Now that there is no shortage of money and food, the existence of this group of people is unnecessary.

Seeing that Liu Jianxing was a little moved, Fan Boqun dissuaded him, "Your Majesty, our rebellion is different from Chang Yuan's. He relies on the people, and we rely on the aristocratic families. If we train those big soldiers according to Chang Yuan's method, we will definitely anger those aristocratic families. .”

Hearing this, Liu Jianxing could only give up, "Master Fan is right, hey...if we really train in private, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape the eyes of those people." At first, it was to get food, money and talents from others, but now it has become something that cannot be shaken off. Falling trouble.

"Your Majesty, it's not impossible, it's just that the time has not yet come. When His Majesty's wings are truly full, they won't be able to make big waves." Fan Boqun said.
