Chapter 69 Go to war!

This time, the army went to Qizhou, including many subordinates of Chang Ke, the former governor of Cangzhou.

Therefore, having Lian Er Xinshan and Nian Deli as deputy generals would be of great help to Li Jing in managing this large army.

As for Qin Qiong, he was just a normal deputy general.

With his basic command ability of 98, he is more than qualified to serve as Li Jing's deputy general.

"The last general takes command!"

Lian'er Xinshan and Nian Deli, who were sitting below, looked up in astonishment, glanced at each other, then hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

They didn't expect that these two newly surrendered people would be included in this expedition.

I didn't expect that they would be appointed as deputy generals of this army?
"Appoint Yao Guangxiao as the military advisor! Baihu, Zhuque, Xuanwu, Wang Xiangyang, Sun Wukong, Wu Wenhua, Jiao Mo, Pan Shanyu, Yuchi Gong, Meng Juehai and others will follow the army to the battle!"

Nodding to Qin Qiong and the other two, Su Ye glanced at the monk Daoyan standing beside him, as well as the various powerful generals in front of the army, and gave the order.

"Qin Qiong, Sun Wukong, obey my orders!"

"I will order you two to lead 10,000 elite soldiers as the vanguard to Qizhou, and build roads through mountains and bridges across rivers."

"Open the way for my Cangzhou army."

Looking at Qin Qiong who took a step forward, Su Ye glanced at Sun Wukong.

"Wukong, Shubao will be in charge of all matters concerning the vanguard army this time."

After giving Sun Wukong a warning, Su Ye was really a little worried.

"As ordered!"

"I, Old Sun, remember it!"

When Sun Wukong heard that he was asked to be the vanguard, he nodded repeatedly without caring what Su Ye said.

As the order was conveyed, an elite vanguard army of about 10,000 people, led by Qin Qiong, set out quickly and disappeared into the night.

Their mission is to go deep behind enemy lines, explore the enemy's deployment and movements, and provide key information to the army.

Not long after, the sky gradually turned pale.

As the sun rose, the army's formation gradually became clear.

With flags waving and drums beating, the soldiers marched in unison, their steps firm and powerful.

"Mr. Shanchang, this time the army is going to the battle, and Cangzhou will be left to you to guard."

"The northern grasslands are about to be in chaos, and Taiping Pass is guarded by Mu Qinglin and the Mu family father and son, so it should be safe."

Watching the army slowly withdrawing from the camp, Su Ye gave instructions to Li Shanchang beside him.

"But just in case, Jin Yu also left 20,000 troops led by Chengdu at Dongning Pass. He himself is also a top-level god of war."

"And Jin Wushu's thousands of Iron Buddha heavy cavalry."

"If it is really impossible to do anything, the army in Chengdu at Dongning Pass will be the backup plan I left for you, sir."

After thinking about it, Su Ye told Li Shanchang about Yuwen Chengdu's backup plan, so as not to affect his decision-making ability when facing a crisis in the future.

"Lord, don't worry!"

"I have a humble servant in the rear of Cangzhou, and I will definitely protect Cangzhou!"

Facing Su Ye's repeated instructions, Li Shanchang bowed and responded decisively.

Under the command of Li Jing, the army marched towards Qizhou in a mighty manner.

At this time, Qin Qiong led the vanguard army.

At the vanguard of the army, Sun Wukong led a small team in the front, and Qin Qiong led the main army following closely behind.

They crossed dense forests and climbed over steep mountains.

Whenever they encountered a rugged mountain road, Qin Qiong would order his subordinates to stop, and he would personally take the lead to lead the soldiers to clear the way.

They wielded swords and tools, hacking away at the thorns and trees that blocked their way.

Qin Qiong would not let his guard down when crossing the river.

He ordered his men to build a temporary bridge to ensure the army could cross the river smoothly.

The soldiers acted quickly, using the tools at hand and the materials around them to build a solid bridge.

With their joint efforts, they successfully crossed the turbulent river and left a stable path for the large force behind.

"Shubao, are we just going to open the way like this?" "This is too boring."

The vanguard army kept leading the way like this, which was fine at first, but after a while, Sun Wukong's monkey temper couldn't stand it anymore.

Watching the vanguard army repeating the same thing every day becomes more and more boring.

When Sun Wukong thought about having to wait like this until the large group behind caught up, he felt terrible.

He came to the vanguard army to fight, not to do hard labor!
"Oh?"

"Then I wonder if Wukong has any ideas?"

At this time, Qin Qiong was holding the map of mountains and rivers detected by Luowang, and was thinking about how to open a road large enough to accommodate the army.

Hearing Sun Wukong's complaints, I couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Sun Wukong has been in Cangling City for many days. Not long after arriving, he went around looking for Baihu, Xuanwu and others to compete in martial arts. He has no time to rest for a moment.

Qin Qiong, who was also in Cangling City, would naturally not fail to pay attention to this. After all, the martial arts power displayed by Sun Wukong was currently ranked among the best in the world.

I also got a preliminary understanding of the personality of Sun Wukong, he is really just like a monkey.

Moreover, before setting off, the lord gave me many instructions and told me to control Sun Wukong's temper.

Therefore, Sun Wukong's complaint this time was already within Qin Qiong's expectations.

Even the fact that Sun Wukong could persist for so many days before complaining to him was beyond Qin Qiong's expectation.

The vanguard army did not rush straight to the battlefield to fight the enemy as Sun Wukong expected.

Even this situation is rare.

Generally, the vanguard army is used to open the way and clear some minor obstacles for the large army in the rear.

But it was not as exciting as Sun Wukong imagined. Instead, it was very boring.

Only a commander like Qin Qiong would enjoy serving as a vanguard general, as it is also a test of their ability to command troops.

But for a warrior like Sun Wukong, it was torture.

"hey-hey!"

"Shubao, look, I, Old Sun, am thinking about going to Qizhou soon."

Seeing Qin Qiong's reply, Sun Wukong smiled and walked up to Qin Qiong and said with a smile.

"I, Old Sun, want to lead an army to the front to find a good place for my lord."

Sun Wukong carried the Ruyi Jingu Bang on his shoulder and said to Qin Qiong with a grin.

"Oh? Seriously?"

Holding back his laughter, Qin Qiong watched Sun Wukong's clumsy performance. He knew what he was talking about even with his eyes closed.

"Does Goku really think so?"

"That's exactly what I thought!"

"I even think that Qingshan County, the closest to Cangzhou in Qizhou, is quite suitable!"

Qin Qiong suppressed his smile, looked serious, and spoke nonsense in a serious manner.

Obviously, none of the vanguard generals wanted to be a quiet laborer.

During the days when Qin Qiong was leading the way, he often held the map of Qizhou's mountains and rivers in his hand and secretly analyzed the subsequent situation.

And Qingshan County was the first target chosen by Qin Qiong.

Now that the Cangzhou army has just moved, even if Qizhou expected that the Cangzhou army would take advantage of the situation to rob, Qingshan County is originally a county town.

I think even if they were prepared, the defensive force wouldn't be too great.

All they need is an elite force in disguise.

If we take the enemy by surprise, there is still a great chance to capture the city gate in an instant.

Of course, it was easy to capture it, but it was difficult to hold the city gate under the counterattack of the entire county army.

Hold on until Qin Qiong's vanguard army arrives.

But it's not that easy.
