In the following period of time, Li Qing could clearly feel the respect of the generals in the tent.
Li Qing enjoyed this feeling very much. He couldn't help but feel proud. It seemed that the effect of his kindness and intimidation was much better than he had imagined.
Everyone no longer treated him as a mascot. Instead, they treated themselves as a qualified marshal.
"Prince Gong, according to what you said just now, the capital, Tongzhou, and Tianjin are located on the plains, and the Anglo-French allied forces have strong firepower. A head-on charge would not achieve good results, but when Commander Zeng of the South dealt with Long Hair, he used this tactic and achieved a great victory!”Vice Domain Chief Yi Le Dong asked in confusion.
Li Qing was very optimistic about Vice Domain Chief Yi Le Dong Ah Du, who was asking him questions. Not only did he know how to use his brain, but he was also able to ask questions that he was about to ask.
"Times are different now. The reason why General Zeng can use this method but we can't is because Long Hair's training isn't good and his firearms are outdated. Under normal combat conditions, the cavalry can charge forward before Long Hair can fire three rounds.”
"However, the Anglo-French coalition forces that are fighting with us now are different. They are all trained elite troops, and many of them have just experienced the baptism of war in the Crimean region. Not only are they equipped with bayonet flintlocks, but they also use the latest rifled cannons and rifles. Whether it is in terms of firing distance, power, or the frequency of ammunition, they are several times more powerful than the flintlocks our capital camp is equipped with.”
While Li Qing was talking, Muller asked with his eyes wide open,""Wangye, why have we never heard of anything you said!”
Li Qing smiled and said,"Because This King has already opened his eyes and seen the world!"”
"Open your eyes? World? Other than sleeping, we also keep our eyes open every day, but we don't know if we're looking at the world!”
Seeing that everyone below was like curious babies, Li Qing was stumped. He didn't know what to say. If he said that all the countries on Earth were like a ball, most of the generals present would probably faint from shock before he could finish.
Hence, Li Qing simply said," The world is like the pre-Qin period of our country. The Zhou Dynasty divided the countries. These countries are the world!”
Monk Gleen Qin laughed,""Now that you say it, this king understands. My Qing Dynasty is the Zhou Dynasty, and England and France are the vassal states of my Qing Dynasty.”
Obviously, Monk Gleen Qin's explanation was more to the liking of these generals. All of them were beaming with joy!
Li Qing looked at the gradually darkening night sky and thought," Now, he no longer had time to explain to them. In order to pull back the topic as soon as possible, Li Qing could only nod his head against his conscience.
Of course, if Li Qing knew that his actions had left behind such a large territory for future generations, he would probably wake up laughing in the netherworld.
Commander You didn't seem to be particularly interested in these things. He hugged the command pole and said,""Your Highness, according to your introduction of the Anglo-French coalition army, it seems that our army is almost invincible on the plains!”
"You can't say that. Everything has its pros and cons. Although the Anglo-French alliance is at its peak, they also have a weakness. They don't have many people, less than 8,000. If we can think of a way to divide their forces, then we have a chance to win!”
......
Just as Li Qing was having a good chat with Monk Ge Linqin and the others at the Ba Li Qiao camp, Prince Gong's residence was in chaos.
"Princess Consort! Wen Xiang and Lord Bao Yun came and said that they wanted to see His Highness. If they couldn't see His Highness, they would block the entrance of the Prince's mansion tonight and not leave!”The guard said with a sad face.
Princess Gong Guaerjiashi was so anxious that she spun around." I don't know where this prince went. Ever since he returned from the morning court, there has been no news. This is good. Even his own children have been taken away by the palace, but he doesn't seem to be in a hurry. He left this mess to me, a woman. What is going on?!"”
Seeing that this was not going to work, the butler said softly,"Wangfei, why don't we let Lord Wen Xiang and Lord Bao Yun in! The two of them were usually in close contact with his highness. Who knows if they might know his highness 'whereabouts?”
At this moment, Guartya was like a drowning person. Even if it was a straw, he would try his best to catch it. So when the butler finished speaking, the princess immediately agreed.
Under the guidance of the housekeeper, Wen Xiang and Bao Yun quickly met the princess.
"I, Wen Xiang and Bao Yun, pay my respects to wangfei!”
"Milords, please excuse the formalities! This time, I asked you to come in because I have something important to discuss!”
Wen Xiang looked at the panic-stricken wangfei and stretched out his hand, saying in a puzzled tone,""Princess Consort! But your highness isn't in the residence?"
Guartya nodded in shame.
"Brother Bochuan, how do you know that his highness isn't in the wangfu?”Baoyun looked at Wen Xiang curiously.
Wen Xiang smiled bitterly and said,"Peiheng, have you forgotten what His Highness said after the morning court session?"”
Baoyun thought for a moment, then patted her head and said,""Look at my memory. If this old master didn't guess wrongly, wangye must be at the baliqiao camp right now!”
Guartya looked puzzled. "May I ask Lord Baoyun what exactly happened in the capital? First, the palace inexplicably picked up big Ge Ge and big brother in the middle of the day, and now you're saying that wangye is at Ba Li Qiao. I'm a little dizzy from listening!”
Wen Xiang was furious when he heard this." These damned slaves. Princess Consort, don't worry. Eldest Brother and Eldest Gege are absolutely safe. As for Your Highness, I will go to the Eight Mile Bridge with Bao Yun to see Your Highness now!"”
"Alright, how about this! The horses of the Imperial Residence are fast, and I can't help you with anything. Let the steward take you there!”Guartya said with a sigh of relief.
......
The sky gradually darkened. In the endless night, there was a large tent that was brightly lit.
"Your Highness, according to what you said just now, the Baliqiao headquarters needs to be filled with a large number of suspicious soldiers. However, if the Anglo-French coalition forces see through it, wouldn't our previous efforts be in vain?”Sheng Bao said worriedly.
Just as everyone was thinking about how to make the Anglo-French coalition army believe in the suspicious soldiers they had set up, the bodyguard outside suddenly came in and said,"Your Highness! Two people came from outside the camp, claiming to be Lord Wen Xiang and Lord Bao Yun, and now they insisted on entering the camp to see His Highness!”
Li Qing, who was sitting on the commander's chair, was still worrying about the plan to confuse the soldiers. This was good. Once two geniuses came down, Li Qing hurriedly stood up excitedly and ran towards the camp gate without saying a word. Li Qing, who was familiar with history, knew that these two people would be his right-hand men in the future. The reason why Li Qing was like that in the morning court was because he didn't know their names. Now that he knew, of course he had to treat them with courtesy. Although they were Banner people, the Qing Dynasty had entered the pass for nearly 200 years. These two were now genuine scholars. Since ancient times, scholars had died for their confidants, which was deeply branded in their hearts.
As expected, when the two of them saw that it was the Gong Prince who came out to welcome them, they cried bitterly.
However, that was the end of it, because before the two of them could do anything, they were pulled into the big tent by Li Qing.
In order to keep the plan thorough, Li Qing once again went through the tactics he had formulated.
Wen Xiang was very shocked after hearing this, his heart once again impressed by the Gong Prince's outstanding wisdom. He stood up and said," Your Highness's tactics are indeed brilliant. We'll use a small number of our cavalry to continuously spread out to harass the enemy, luring the enemy into sending troops to chase after the encirclement formed by our superior military strength and destroy them. However, I think the key now is how to make the enemy believe that the one in front of them is our main force. Another point is that I just thought of some suggestions after listening to your strategy!”
Seeing Wen Xiang's relaxed expression, Li Qing knew that he had found the right person. Overjoyed, Li Qing said expectantly,""Lord Wen Xiang, please guide me!”
Wen Xiang slightly bowed to Li Qing and said,""Although Your Highness 'idea is good, it lacks initiative. Even if the enemy knows that the Baliqiao Bridge is our main force, it will not be enough to make the enemy slack off. Thus, to ensure the success of Your Highness's strategy, I suggest that starting from tonight, we use the powerful mobility of our Mongolian cavalry to harass the marching Anglo-French allied forces. If we find a small number of enemy forces, we will destroy them on the spot. We will burn the supplies and rations if we can. We do not expect to kill a large number of enemy forces. As long as we can make the enemy a tired army by the time they arrive at Baliqiao, we can increase the success rate of our plan by two times!”
"As for the suspicious soldiers…" Just as Wen Xiang was about to speak, Baoyun, who was standing at the side, said,""I say, Lord Wen Xiang, you have to let me say something!”
Everyone looked at Baoyun, who was fuming with anger, and laughed.
"Alright, alright, let Lord Baoyun do the talking.”Li Qing pointed at Baoyun helplessly.
" In fact, in my opinion, everyone has been led astray. The problem of suspicious soldiers doesn't necessarily have to be solved by setting up fake war flags. We can find some local farmers. As long as they stand in the rear and fight a thousand meters away from each other, even if the enemy uses clairvoyance, they won't be able to find any clues! This way, the success rate of the plan would increase by at least two times.”
Li Qing clapped and cheered. "It seems that our chances of success in this battle will be above the seventh level!"”
The generals were filled with confidence and said excitedly,""Your highness, this strategy was created by you. Please give it a name!”
Li Qing pondered for a moment and said,""How about this? This King will name this tactic the Wolf Pack Tactic, implying that a fierce tiger can't win against a pack of wolves!”
