Chapter 1517 No Need for Mercy

With Jia Yao's departure, Pang Jinjiu officially took charge.

While all the generals were present, Pang Jinjiu immediately called everyone together to discuss the matter.

Pang Jinjiu also adheres to Yun Zheng's style of doing things. When discussing matters, everyone can speak freely, regardless of whether they are right or wrong.

But once an order is given, everyone must carry it out unconditionally.

However, although they said they were discussing matters, there wasn't actually much to discuss.

How to govern the State of Li in the future is something Yun Zheng and his team should think about.

These generals only care about winning battles and destroying the enemy.

After a brief discussion, Pang Jinjiu stood up.

"Budugen, I order you to lead 5,000 cavalry to garrison in Woyuan first. After the infantry replaces your troops, immediately rush to Fengcheng! Before the infantry replaces your troops, if the remaining enemy dares to cross Woyuan, they will be killed!"

"As ordered!"

"Budu, I order you to follow me and lead 5,000 cavalry through Gyeonggi Province, through Linhu and Taicheng to capture Fengcheng!"

"As ordered!"

"Lu Xing, I order you to lead 5,000 cavalry and the Blood-Cloaked Army to first take the Gorge Pass and then Gushan Pass! Then you will meet me in Fengcheng!"

"As ordered!"

"Shen Kuan, I order you to return to Longqing Prefecture immediately and send 7,000 infantrymen to replace Budugen's troops in guarding Woyuan! All the troops in Shangqing Road are under your command. If you dare to let the remaining enemies enter Shangqing Road, you will be killed!"

"..."

After giving the order, Pang Jinjiu said murderously: "This war is a war of genocide. I don't need your mercy! Any city that doesn't open the city and surrender will be massacred once the city is captured!"

As the words "massacre" came out, everyone felt a strong murderous aura.

Everyone understands that after this battle, there will no longer be any Li Kingdom or Gaoqin tribe in the world.

This is Daqian’s bloodiest revenge!

"Yes!"

Everyone took the order together.

"General Pang, You Shiwu requests to see you."

Just at this moment, a soldier rushed in.

Ghost Fifteen?

Pang Jinjiu was stunned and said quickly, "Please come in!"

Soon, You Shiwu walked in, "Reporting to General Pang, when my troops were chasing Hailanduo, we unexpectedly received news! General Wang Qi led the remaining troops and took over Lishan Pass while the troops were empty!"

"what?"

After hearing the news brought back by You Shiwu, Pang Jinjiu and the generals were all stunned.

Wang Qi led the remnants to capture Lishan Pass?

So, the door for them to attack the Gaochin people has been completely opened?

After coming to his senses, Pang Jinjiu hurriedly asked: "Is this news reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable!"

You Shiwu said confidently: "After General Wang Qi captured Lishan Pass, he sent several groups of troops to Shangqing Road to pass on the message, but they were chased by the enemy along the way. When we were chasing Hailanduo, we accidentally saved one of the troops..."

Wang Qi knew that once the news from Li Kingdom was passed back to the imperial city, Yun Zheng would definitely send troops to support.

As soon as their reinforcements arrive, the enemy will be defeated.

What he had to do was to seize Lishan Pass and hold it, never letting the enemy retreat, so that the subsequent army could destroy all the enemy forces!

"very good!"

Pang Jinjiu was overjoyed when he got a positive answer, and immediately asked, "Have you caught Hailanduo?"

"no!"

You Shiwu said helplessly: "We lost time because of the capture of Juncheng. When we went to hunt them down, it was already a little late. However, we can be sure that Hailanduo is with Teji..."

The two men fled to Pingxu Road with the remaining soldiers and a thousand cavalrymen who escaped from Lou Chong.

They probably wanted to escape back to the Gaochin territory through Lishan Pass.

But because Lishan Pass was captured by Wang Qi, they had to turn to Gushan Pass.

If nothing unexpected happens, they want to escape to the barbarian territory through Baishan Road.

Upon learning that Hailanduo had escaped, Pang Jinjiu and the generals could not help but feel secretly disappointed.

Pang Jinjiu pondered silently for a while, and then felt relieved.

never mind!

Now is not the time to chase after Hailanduo and the others.

They are now sending a large army to attack the Kaochin!

Thinking of this, Pang Jinjiu immediately ordered You Shiwu: "Go and tell You Jiu right away. Don't worry about Hailanduo for now. We have more important things to do! Let You Jiu lead the Eighteen Ghost Riders to meet us at Lishan Pass!"

"Yes!"

You Shiwu immediately took the order and left.

After You Shiwu left, Lu Xing immediately asked Pang Jinjiu: "Should we change our plan now?"

"Need not!"

Pang Jinjiu shook his head. "You continue to lead the 5,000 cavalry and the Blood-Cloaked Army through Gushan Pass to Lishan Pass to meet us. Just think of it as eliminating the resistance forces in each city first!"

"Alright!"

Lu Xing nodded and smiled, "I have to do this sooner or later anyway."

Pang Jinjiu thought for a moment, and then ordered Shen Kuan: "Send another 2,000 men to the gorge to prevent Teji and Hailanduo from making a surprise attack!"

"Yes!"

Shen Kuan took the order, "Oh, by the way, I just thought of something. Now that the pontoon bridge has been built, Zhenzhou and Hezhou should also send some troops to support us!"

Zhenzhou and Hezhou?

Pang Jinjiu thought about it for a moment and immediately understood Shen Kuan's intention.

This is to consume the Zhenhe tribe's military strength to prevent further chaos there.

"That's okay!"

Pang Jinjiu nodded: "Then send someone to tell Ji Ran to send 5,000 troops from Zhenzhou and Hezhou to help us wipe out the remaining enemies in Li! Also, have him report this to His Highness!"

This matter must be reported to His Highness.

Under normal circumstances, he had no authority to mobilize troops from Zhen and He states.

But if the situation is urgent and reinforcements are needed, troops can still be mobilized.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the governors of Zhen and He states would agree to send troops.

However, Ji Ran would definitely understand their intentions and would definitely agree to send troops.

When everything was arranged, Pang Jinjiu ordered all the generals to go down and prepare, leaving only Shen Kuan behind.

"I'll leave everything in Li State to you."

Pang Jinjiu looked at Shen Kuan solemnly, "If we are running low on food and grass, we may have to rely on you."

"no problem."

Shen Kuan nodded, "Let's see the reply from His Highness first! If His Highness does not need to reduce the number of people and exterminate the family, I will wipe out the remaining enemies as soon as possible and collect food and grass to send to Lishan Pass."

"Even if you want to reduce the population and eliminate the households, you still have to collect food and grass!"

Pang Jinjiu smiled at Shen Kuan and said, "If it really doesn't work, we can drive them to Da'an Road and Baishan Road to open up our supply line first! I'll feel more at ease if we store some food and grass at Lishan Pass."

Under normal circumstances, the cavalry in this battle would not need to carry any food or fodder.

But you have to leave yourself a way out.

In case they run out of food and grass, the food and grass at Lishan Pass will be their lifeline.

"Fine!"

Shen Kuan readily agreed, "Anyway, a lot of people in Li Kingdom will definitely die this time..."

There is nothing we can do about it.

Yin Zhi sent people to search for food and supplies, and they searched again.

Many people's food will be taken away.

Without food, people will inevitably starve to death.

However, the Li people brought this upon themselves!

Pang Jinjiu nodded, and suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, if the situation permits, we can also send the navy to fight against the Gaoqin tribe's navy!"

"The details depend on how you discuss it with the navy masters!"

"I don't understand the navy, so I won't get involved."

Among all of them, except for the three generals of the navy, Shen Kuan is probably the one who knows the navy best.

When other people talk about the navy, they are completely clueless.

He won't get involved in things he doesn't understand.

Let the people who know decide!
