[Chapter 435 Surrounding Wei and Rescuing Zhao]

Military Academy, sand table room.

Zhao Xu, Xu Ke, Chang Wei and other generals stood around the sand table in Qinzhou.

After Zhao Heng decided to make the Northern Expedition, under his guidance, the Military Academy created a sand table for Qinzhou.

After all, they didn’t know at the time whether they would be sent to Qinzhou to fight, so they planned ahead.

Unexpectedly, they actually used Qinzhou’s sand table.

“According to the information obtained by the lower officials, after the battle of Yongcheng, General Yang broke his arm to survive, and led the remaining troops to Xiancheng at night.” Xu Ke said.

“Therefore, there are about 200,000 soldiers and horses in Xiancheng at present, and before the invasion of Yongzhou, most of the grain and grass brought by the Northern Expeditionary Army were stored in Xiancheng, and there should be no problem in eating the grain for a month.”

“As for Beidi, a king’s account came from Xiao Guan set off and cut off the route for the Northern Expeditionary Army to withdraw southward, and now controls all key roads in Qinzhou.”

“Khan Muller and Hong Zhen personally led the three king tents to Xiancheng to cooperate with Xiliang soldiers and horses in Yongcheng. Ma Jin’s soldiers immediately surrounded Xiancheng.”

“After Xiao’s family was defeated by Beidi soldiers and horses from Xiaoguan, they retreated to Jianguan, not daring to step into Qinzhou.”

“Ma Han lost 30% of his troops . , but has not captured Xiangcheng, which was occupied by Xiliang, and when he learned that Beidi was coming from the south, he temporarily withdrew to Qinguan, and it is estimated that people from the Ma family will arrive in Yancheng soon to discuss the matter with His Highness.

” Holding the teaching stick, Tsui Hark moved the stick to the position of that faction every time he mentioned a side.

“So, the Beidi, Xiliang, and Ma Jin families currently entrenched in Qinzhou have nearly 700,000 troops?” Chang Wei frowned.

Beidi 400,000.

Xiliang hoarded 100,000 soldiers in Xiangcheng, and Baocheng hoarded 100,000 soldiers.

Neither Ma Jin nor Xiao Jiaju had taken the city, and the combined strength of these two cities must be at least 150,000.

There are also soldiers and horses in Yongcheng, which are really close to 700,000.

Xu Ke nodded, “That’s true, and the Xiliang soldiers in Xiangcheng seem to belong to Xiliang’s elite, while the Xiliang soldiers in Baocheng are weaker.”

Chang Wei heard this and looked at Zhao Xu, “Your Highness, this Qinzhou cannot Go.”

Pointing to the county seat on the sand table, he continued: “In the eyes of the general, Mule Hongzhen’s going south this time is probably because he considered the possibility of failure in the east, so the siege of Xiancheng is not only to capture the emperor I’m afraid I’m waiting for His Highness to take the bait.”

“This is the strategy His Highness used to deal with Murong Wuji when he was in Jinzhou.” Chang Wei finally raised his voice.

The other generals nodded and agreed with Chang Wei’s statement.

At present, there are two king tents in Beidi outside Yanguan.

Naturally, they couldn’t mobilize all the royal soldiers.

Even if the soldiers of the palace were good at fighting, it would be difficult for this number of people to hold on against the Beidi, Xiliang, and Ma Jin allied forces with artillery.

700,000 people, even if they don’t resist, let them kill like pigs, and they will have to kill for days and nights.

Zhao Xu’s eyes swept over everyone’s faces.

The expressions of the generals are almost the same.

Tsui Hark shook his head at him, apparently not agreeing with the matter.

Even if this battle can be won, the family property of the royal family’s soldiers may be wiped out.

“Don’t worry, this king is not stupid. Entering Qinzhou recklessly at this time is tantamount to asking for death.” Zhao Xu said.

Chang Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed: “It’s just that, the emperor and the old general will fall into the hands of Beidi people.

” I can fight.” Thinking of something, he added.

It’s just that his tone was very unconfident. Obviously, he didn’t think that Da Song would gather an army in order to save Zhao Heng.

Hearing this, Xu Ke directly retorted, “The eldest prince is in charge of the country, I’m afraid he wished that the emperor would not return, so that he could take the opportunity to ascend the throne, after all, the third prince lost the possibility of inheriting the throne, and the second prince is also in Xiancheng, so it is impossible to gather the imperial army. After sneering for a while, he said again: ”

As for the power clan, the desire to separate regimes is obvious, so how can they lose their real family property? Maybe they wish to change to a new emperor who is easy to control.” As

he spoke, he Suddenly thought of something, his expression changed, “Oh no, the Dou family, the Han family will definitely not support the prince, Da Song is afraid that there will be trouble.”

He looked at King Yan, and saw that King Yan was also looking at him.

Immediately understood that Yan Wang had long been caressing in his heart.

“What Mr. Xu said is also what this king wants to say. If he can save the emperor, he will naturally try to save him, but this king never likes to be led by the nose.”

“Mu Lehong really wants this king to enter his The trap set, this king wants to take the lead, we will not go to Qinzhou, but to Ningjindusi!”

Zhao Xu turned and walked towards the Yanzhou sand table next to Qinzhou.

“Ning Jin Dusi?” Chang Wei and the generals haven’t recalled it yet.

Zhao Xu nodded, “This move is called Surrounding Wei and Rescuing Zhao.”

“Wei? Zhao?” The generals were even more confused, they had never heard of this idiom.

Zhao Xu then recounted the process of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao.

Of course, there is no such allusion in this world as encircling Wei and saving Zhao.

So he told everyone it was just a story.

“So that’s how it was. Surrounding Wei and saving Zhao was really a brilliant strategy under the circumstances at that time.” Chang Wei clicked his tongue and couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

At this time, he also wanted to understand what King Yan was going to do.

Beidi has a huge advantage in Qinzhou at the moment, and the price of a hard attack is too high.

So it is better to directly attack Ning Jindusi.

“It’s just that Mu Lehong will really give up the siege of Xiancheng for Ning Jindusi?” Chang Wei frowned.

Zhao Xu laughed, “Don’t forget, Beidi’s artillery was made in Jincheng, and what if his son Ulanba was added?”

He told everyone about his capture of Ulanba.

“Hahaha…” Chang Wei was taken aback, and then laughed loudly, “Your Highness, the general admires you so much, so Mu Le Hongzhen really has to think about it, and the general will go to Yanguan now , lead the troops to fight.”

Zhao Xu shook his head, “No, this is not the way to fight Ningjindusi this time.”

On land, the maneuverability of the royal army’s troops cannot be compared with Beidi’s cavalry.

But at sea, the mobility of the fleet is unmatched by Beidi cavalry.

He can use his fleet to send some soldiers of the palace to the rear of Ning Jindusi.

Knowing that there are enemies in the rear, the Beidi army at Yanguan will definitely send troops to encircle and suppress them.

However, taking advantage of the advantage of the warships at sea, the soldiers of the palace can change places with one shot, giving the Beidi people the illusion that wars are everywhere, and making them exhausted.

Once the Beidi people disperse their forces for this purpose, they can concentrate their superior forces to attack the Beidi army at Yanguan.

Of course, this is only a strategy adopted in the east.

Although Ulan Baganin Jindusi is very important, but whether Mule Hongzhen will submit, he cannot guarantee 100%.

Therefore, for the worst case, he also prepared a trick for Northwest.
