Zhao Jia and Cao Xiong glanced at each other.

I didn't know what to say for a while, you must know this, iron is also a very important thing for them, if they move in advance, these important materials will have to be transferred in advance.

But now that Ning Xiaofan has said this, if they don't say anything, I'm afraid they won't be able to say anything.

"General Ning doesn't know where your plan has reached now? If we all break it according to General Ning's wishes, but the Yuan State side does not send troops, wouldn't all these plans have no chance of success?"

Ning Xiaofan said: "This is also true, but although the combat effectiveness of your Song State is not very good, you should at least know whether there is any movement of troops on the Yuan State side." ”

The two looked at each other again.

"General Ning, it's not that you can't provide the iron you want, but the value of this iron is very important, so ......"

"Is it more important than the value of the 3,000 soldiers and horses? Even the 3,000 soldiers are willing to hand over to me, you are reluctant to give up some cold things, in this case, our cooperation can end here." ”

After Ning Xiaofan said this, he turned around and was about to leave.

"General Ning stays!"

Zhao Jia hurriedly spoke.

Ning Xiaofan turned his back to them.

"General Ning, don't get me wrong, this time can be regarded as a desperate bet, for us, we can only win and not lose, losing may not be anything to General Ning, but for me and Cao Taishou, it's not just as simple as a net worth. ”

Cao Xiong next to him also hurriedly said: "Yes, Mr. Ning, Zhao Gongzi and Zai Xia believe in General Ning's strength very much, but this battle is too big, and it is facing 100,000 heroes of the Yuan Kingdom, all, General Ning don't blame." ”

Ning Xiaofan slowly turned around and looked at Zhao Jia and Cao Xiong.

"I understand the doubts of the two, but the war is never sure to win, if the two want me to give a winning result, then I can tell the two now, such a winning result is absolutely impossible, but the iron cavalry of the Yuan Kingdom will soon return, I think the two of them are also very clear, the defenders of Linyang City are only twenty or thirty thousand, and it is also after more than a month of war, it can be said that the soldiers are sleepy and lacking, with such a force to defeat the enemy, it is really unimaginable. ”

Zhao Jia and Cao Xiong are not stupid people, and they naturally understand the situation in front of them.

Now there are crises in several cities on the border of the Song Kingdom, but the main force in the Song Kingdom did not come here to help, the reason is very simple, the Song Kingdom is not afraid of losing a few cities, what they are most afraid of is that the main force of the Song State will be exhausted in a war, and at that time, the Song State will really face the destruction of the country.

What's more, there are also many powerful countries around the Song State, they are also eyeing each other, and they have no opinions on the battle of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, it is conceivable that these people are looking at the situation, if the Song State is really going to die, they are likely to send troops to seize the territory of the Song State.

Zhao Jia said: "General Ning, can there be a foolproof strategy, that is, no matter what the reason, the Song State will not lose half of its territory." ”

Zhao Jia's words were obviously very helpless.

Although he wants to be the king, he wants to keep the territorial integrity of the Song Kingdom even more, if he is allowed to be the king of a broken territory, this is probably not what he wants to see.

To control a precarious Song Kingdom, he might as well be his prince.

"It's not impossible!"

Ning Xiaofan said.

Zhao Jia and Cao Xiong immediately looked at Ning Xiaofan.

Obviously, now they can only rely on Ning Xiaofan's strategy, at least, there is no good strategy for them.

"Two methods, first, immediately mobilize the main force of the Song army to help, I think with the speed of the main force of the Song army, it should be able to come soon, although the 100,000 male divisions of the Yuan State are extraordinary, but if the Song army swears to resist, I think the Yuan army wants to conquer it is also difficult to succeed. ”

When Zhao Jia and Cao Xiong heard Ning Xiaofan's words, they glanced at each other and looked embarrassed.

Cao Xiong said: "General Ning didn't know that Linyang City had already asked the king for help, but the king only let him hold on and sent some ordnance, materials, grain and grass, but he didn't send a single soldier. ”

Ning Xiaofan said, "Why is this?"

Ning Xiaofan spoke, and his eyes fell on Zhao Jia's body.

"Obviously, my brother Wang is afraid that I will come into contact with military power. Zhao Jia said seriously: "Because he has already sent me here before, if he mobilizes a large army to come, I am afraid that those people will obey my dispatch and threaten his throne, and more importantly, my brother Wang is extremely conservative, for him, living his nourished immortal life in the palace is his lifelong pursuit." ”

"If the Yuan army attacks the national capital, I'm afraid that his pursuit will come to naught. Ning Xiaofan said lightly.

Zhao Jia nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, that's why I said before that the first king, without foresight, actually called my brother Wang as the successor, if I let my pleasure-hungry brother take charge forever, the Song Kingdom will not be far from the death of the country. ”

Cao Xiong also said: "Gongzi is right, the current Song State needs Gongzi to stand up, only in this way can there be hope for the future of Song State, otherwise Song State may soon cease to exist, General Ning, for Gongzi and for the people of Song State, this time must not lose, General Ning is counting on this time, the king is already impossible, just now General Ning said that there are two methods, so what is this other method?"

Ning Xiaofan said: "This Yuan State is so arrogant and domineering, I'm afraid it's not just the Song State that has been bullied by the Yuan State, I don't know which vassal states around the Yuan State have a bad relationship with the Yuan State." ”

"If you want to say that the worst relationship with the Yuan State is probably the Ming State and the Tang State, the Yuan and Ming countries are a feud, once the Ming State was strong, and the king of the Yuan State was killed, but also let the Yuan State hurt the vitality, after several generations of kings, this is the scale of today, if the Yuan State did not hurt the vitality back then, then the current Yuan State is probably even more powerful. ”

Ning Xiaofan said, "What about the Tang Kingdom?"

Cao Xiong said: " The Yuan and Tang dynasties want to say that they were also the two princely states with the best relationship before, and often married, but 50 years ago, the then Yuan King married his beloved little daughter to the Tang King at that time, but in less than a year, the princess of the Yuan Kingdom who married the Tang King died in the Tang Kingdom, for which the Yuan King raised swords, and the Tang Kingdom had to give a suitable statement, but the reason given by the Tang State was to die of illness, which the Yuan Kingdom did not approve of, and wanted to recover the princess's body, the Tang Kingdom was buried with the queen's ceremony, and the two countries fought a big war because of this unclear thing, and finally the Tang Kingdom paid several cities to quell the warSince then, the two countries have been at loggerheads. ”

Ning Xiaofan said: "The enemy of the enemy is a friend, if the Song State can say that the Tang and Ming countries attack at the same time, even if the Yuan State is strong, I am afraid it will suffer, and if the Tang, Song and Ming Three Kingdoms Alliance, the Yuan Kingdom will not be so comfortable in the future, and the Three Kingdoms can also multiply their strength because of the alliance, even if the exercises are insufficient, the defense is still more than enough." ”

"What a plan" Zhao Jia was pleasantly surprised when he heard Ning Xiaofan's words: " The Tang and Song dynasties have always had a harmonious relationship, and because the land is not adjacent, there has been no contradiction, and the Tang State has been showing goodwill with the Song State before, they will inevitably be willing to ally with us, and at that time, maybe the Tang State will be able to recapture their lost territory, which is naturally a good thing for them, not to mention the Ming State, in recent years, the conquest with the Yuan State has not been broken, and its national strength has been declining in the past 10 years, so the conquest with the Yuan State has always been a lagging wind, if they know that the Three Kingdoms attack at the same time, they will definitely agree, and most importantly, these two countries are not as rich as the Song State, Song Guo can provide them with ordnance and food and grass, I believe they will be very happy. ”

Ning Xiaofan said: "These are Zhao Gongzi, you Song Guo have planned by yourself." ”

Zhao Jia said to Ning Xiaofan excitedly: "General Ning's move is really very high, this time it will definitely make the Yuan Kingdom suffer." ”

Ning Xiaofan said: "The strength of the Yuan State is strong, as its neighbor, no one wants his strength to be the strongest all the time, if that is the case, sooner or later one day he will be devoured by this tiger wolf, unless you deliberately offend Tang and Ming, otherwise they will definitely send troops, once these two countries plan before sending troops, the chance of success will be greater." ”

The two of them were excited when they listened to Ning Xiaofan's words.

If they were a little worried about Ning Xiaofan's plan before, then now they are not worried at all, the reason is very simple, they know very well in their hearts that if they unite according to Ning Xiaofan's instructions, the other two countries will definitely take it back, even if they lose some territory.

Although there are many soldiers in the Yuan Kingdom, and they are also very elite, if they are allowed to fight against the three kingdoms with the strength of one country, I am afraid he will not be able to bear it.

At this time, Zhao Jia turned his head to look at Cao Xiong.

"Cao Taishou, any materials that General Ning needs must not be intercepted without authorization, do you understand?"

Obviously, he said this to Ning Xiaofan, and the reason was very simple, that is, because the plan that Ning Xiaofan gave him now made him see hope, so he felt that even if he took out some iron, it didn't matter, and more importantly, Ning Xiaofan's side was also a very important part, which was related to whether he could ascend the throne in the future.

What's more important is that the last thing he can offend now is Ning Xiaofan, so only by currying favor with Ning Xiaofan can he realize his ambitions, and at this time, he naturally wants to push everything on Cao Xiong.

He hoped to let Ning Xiaofan understand in his heart that the reason why he didn't give the iron to Ning Xiaofan immediately was not him, but Cao Xiong.
