Chapter 935 - Unqualified
"What did you say?"
When Zhao Jia heard Ning Xiaofan's words, his face immediately showed surprise.
Obviously, although he can give up a lot of things for the throne, if the Yuan soldiers really capture Linyang City, it will definitely be a heavy blow to the entire Song Kingdom.
Ning Xiaofan smiled and said: "You heard it right, what I mean is to let Linyang City be breached, and only in this way can you have a greater chance of ascending to the throne, Brother Zhao, after all, although you are now the son of the royal family, what credit do you have for the Song Kingdom? Without great credit, what qualifications do you have to be the king of Song?"
When Zhao Jia heard this, he immediately fell silent.
Obviously, what Ning Xiaofan said was not wrong at all, although he was said to be the son of the royal family, but so far, he really did not give any credit to Song Guoguo, although he has been cultivating his own forces, but if those forces really had a decisive advantage, he would have ousted his eldest brother from the throne a long time ago.
Zhao Jia looked at Ning Xiaofan and said, "General Ning, what's the best plan?"
Ning Xiaofan took the two maps from the side.
These two maps, one for the Yuan State and the other for the Song Kingdom, mark the important cities of the Song and Yuan dynasties, and there are circles on them.
After Zhao Jia saw these two maps, his face was full of surprise.
Having a map of the Song and Yuan dynasties, this is actually not particularly difficult, at least the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce can easily get it, but the circles marked on the map are surprising.
Those are all very important city defense passes of the two countries, as well as the major granaries.
In fact, the big granary of each country is not too secret, because every autumn harvest grain will be stored in a specific location, and these locations are generally inland in each country, if other countries want to hit their granary attention, I am afraid that at least half of the country will have to be beaten, after all, this will pass through a lot of cities, a large number of marches, you must have a city to fight, otherwise, you will fall into the embarrassing situation of attacking back and forth.
Ning Xiaofan pointed to the map of the Yuan Kingdom, a place closest to the border with a circle.
"This is the 'Dongcang' of the Yuan Kingdom, Brother Zhao must be very familiar with it. β
"Dongcang is one of the four major granaries of the Yuan Kingdom. β
"That's right, then now in the battle of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the grain and grass supplied to the Yuan army must be this nearest Dongcang. β
Zhao Jia looked at the map, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, it's true." β
"And what if a fire turns this Dongcang to ashes?"
When Zhao Jia heard this, he was shocked.
"What are you talking about? How is this possible?" he said: "Not to mention that this Dongcang is about 300 miles away from the border of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and there are four large and small cities in the middle, among which the Mengcheng, which is the closest to Linyang, is a military town, with 100,000 elite soldiers, and the main force attacking Linyang this time is the 100,000 elite soldiers of this Mengcheng, and it is difficult to compare with the sky if you want to burn Dongcang under the nose of these 100,000 elite soldiers." β
Ning Xiaofan smiled and said, "Yes, if these 100,000 elite soldiers are still in Mengcheng, this Dongcang is naturally foolproof, but what about Linyang City?"
Zhao Jia's face suddenly turned straight.
"The Yuan State is now preparing to attack the Song State in the overall situation, and the reason why it has not yet pulled all the 100,000 elite soldiers to the station is because Linyang City has not yet been breached, once it is breached, they will inevitably advance the battle line into the territory of the Song State, and 100,000 elite soldiers are enough to make the Yuan State miserable. β
Ning Xiaofan said: "What you said is right, and I think that the Yuan State did not start a real war to destroy the Song Dynasty, this time the Yuan State started a war against the Song Dynasty, I think it was completely a war to expand the territory, they wanted to obtain many cities in the Song State through this war, you think about some cities that are closer to the Chinese border, which one is the goal of the Yuan State." β
Zhao Jia immediately looked at the map of the Song Kingdom.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on a city about 500 miles away from Linyang City.
"Anfeng?"
Zhao Jia then said very seriously: "It must be Anfeng City, Anfeng City is the former royal capital of the Song Kingdom, and it is also the current accompanying capital, if the Yuan Kingdom once takes Anfeng City, then it is equivalent to taking half of the Song Kingdom." β
Ning Xiaofan nodded and said, "That's right." β
Zhao Jia frowned and said: "But if he is really allowed to take Anfeng City, then I am afraid it will be really troublesome, and half of the Song Kingdom will be taken away by the Yuan Kingdom." β
"This is not necessarily, if his 100,000 elite soldiers have just arrived at Anfeng City, and the news of Dongcang being burned down immediately came, do you think these 100,000 elite soldiers will continue to stay and attack the city, or will they immediately return to help?"
"I will definitely come back. Zhao Jia said.
"Yes, these 100,000 elite soldiers will inevitably come back, but if you want to return quickly, you must pass through the Sifang Valley, and at this time, we set up an ambush in the Sifang Valley, not to mention his 100,000 elite soldiers, even if he comes again, he can also have no return. β
Zhao Jia listened to Ning Xiaofan's strategy, and his face couldn't help but show a look of shock.
He really didn't expect that Ning Xiaofan would be able to come up with such a clever plan.
What's more, if he really follows this strategy, he may really be able to eliminate the 100,000 elite soldiers, and if he really eliminates the 100,000 elite soldiers, his status and prestige in the Song State will inevitably rise in a straight line.
But......
In addition to being shocked, Zhao Jia was still a little worried.
Because this strategy is clearly to take the fate of the Song State to make a bet, once the bet is won, it may be able to deal a heavy blow to the Yuan State, not only that, but also to win him enough prestige.
However, once you lose.
Half of the Song Kingdom has fallen, and he will inevitably become a sinner of the Song Kingdom.
It is even likely to become the *** of the country.
It was definitely a big gamble.
And whether they win the bet or lose the bet, the people of the Song State will be devastated to a certain extent.
Zhao Jia frowned slightly, and he hesitated.
Ning Xiaofan's eyes were also looking at him all the time.
Ying Xiaofan knew that the strategy he came up with was indeed a bit of a loss, especially for the Song State, it was really a loss to the limit, it can be said that this was completely using the territory of the Song State and the people of the Song State to improve Zhao Jia's prestige.
And more importantly, once it fails, then the loss of the Song State is absolutely huge.
The Song State, which was not a very powerful vassal state in the first place, would definitely decline in the status of the 11 vassal states within the territory of this edifice empire.
In this era of the jungle, once the national strength of a certain vassal state drops significantly, then the surrounding countries will pounce on you like wolves and tigers, and you will be incomplete.
Not even the bones remained.
Of course, this strategy is the best for a person, this person is not someone else, it is Ning Xiaofan.
Because no matter whether this strategy can succeed or not, Ning Xiaofan and his Ning family army will become famous because of this war, if the strategy is carried out perfectly and smoothly and successfully, Zhao Jia will certainly increase his prestige, but this Ning family army will inevitably become famous in a battle.
"I need to think about this matter," Zhao Jia looked at Ning Xiaofan and said.
Ning Xiaofan said: " Of course, this is no problem, but I really can't think of any other way to make Brother Zhao's prestige in the Song Kingdom increase quickly, and Brother Zhao should also know very well in his heart that if the 100,000 elite soldiers of the Yuan State are really sent by soldiers, then even if the Song State wants not to surrender, I am afraid that there will be huge losses, then Anfeng City may be difficult to hold, since there will be such a thing horizontally and vertically, then it is better for us to use this matter to make this matter more meaningful, of course, this matter can serve the modeling, I think it is also the honor of this matterγ β
Zhao Jia listened to Ning Xiaofan's words, his mind was also constantly thinking, this matter is obvious, what Ning Xiaofan said is not unreasonable, after all, the 100,000 elite soldiers of Yuan Guo may really be sent to the country at any time, now the war between Song and Yuan has become more and more intense, and the friction between the two sides is becoming more and more serious, 100,000 elite soldiers with eggs, although there are no soldiers sent yet, but who can guarantee that it can be delayed for a long time?
Zhao Jia finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, General Ning, I believe in you, let's do it according to your plan." β
When Ning Xiaofan heard his words, there was a little difference in his heart, in fact, if he and Zhao Jia switched positions, Ning Xiaofan would never agree, and the reason was very simple, after all, this was a joke with the lives of the people of the Song Kingdom, this kind of thing can't be done anyway.
After all, if you want to be the king of a vassal state, then you also have to take on the responsibility of the king of this vassal state, not that this person can add the title of king to be a king.
A true king is one who cares about the people.
That's to think about the vassal states under your command all the time.
But what Zhao Jia in front of him was thinking about was how he could become the king.
Obviously, in Ning Xiaofan's eyes, he is not a competent king.
Ning Xiaofan felt that the first king of the Song Kingdom did not pass Wang Wei to Zhao Jia, which was absolutely correct.
"What's wrong? General Ning. β
When Zhao Jia saw Ning Xiaofan, he looked at him with strange eyes, and he looked puzzled.
Ning Xiaofan laughed and said: "It's nothing, I just think Brother Zhao's choice is very right, I think Brother Zhao is one step closer to the time to ascend to the throne, and this Song Kingdom will soon become Brother Zhao's bag." β
Zhao Jia listened to Ning Xiaofan's words, his face and heart were full of smiles, he was extremely happy, he dreamed of becoming the king of Song as soon as possible, he had always resented his father for not passing on the throne to him.
Since his father did not choose him, then he himself had to choose himself, and he would use his own means to take the throne that should have belonged to him.
