Chapter 255: The Two Kings Meet
When Bai Yuxi led a few people to chase south, the war in the northwest had intensified.
Shangguan Kongyue has no experience in warfare, but he is resourceful, and he can often come up with bizarre strategies to deal with the impact of the iron cavalry of the two countries.
However, there is too much difference in strength, and the other side is prepared, no matter how much he wants to plan, he can't make up for this huge number gap.
Today, he learned that Baili Qing, that is, his fourth emperor brother who had been missing for many years, Shangguan Qingyuan, who is now the king, came with troops.
He should breathe a sigh of relief, after all, Baili ...... King Ding, he has experienced a hundred battles, and has nine days of spears in hand, and no one is his opponent on the battlefield, but Xi'er wrote to him to be careful of the rear.
In addition to the imperial court, this is the king of Ding, who came today.
If he was still Baili Qing, maybe he wouldn't think much about it, but if he became the prince, then everything changed.
"Lord Wang, King Ding has arrived. Outside the tent, a soldier said.
"The king knows, and he goes. Shangguan Kongyue suppressed the doubts in his heart, the enemy is at present, he shouldn't think about infighting, Bailiqing can see the overall situation clearly, and he won't make any unreasonable decisions.
He is still habitually determined that he is Baili Qing.
"Dingwang. Out of the big tent, he put on a heavy armor and went to the crowd, and said in a deep voice.
"I didn't expect us to be brothers. Shangguan Qingyuan saw him at a glance and said what the two of them thought in their hearts.
"I really didn't expect it. Shangguan Kongyue said.
Neither of them wants to act in front of each other, so they have a scene where brothers recognize each other and have deep affection.
"How is the battle going now?" King Ding also faced this situation for the first time, and simply took out what he was best at and asked.
"Let's talk about it. King Yin walked ahead, "If you can come to help, there will be no problems in this northwest." ”
"I don't have confidence in anything else, but I don't give in to the war. A smile appeared on King Ding's face.
Everyone present felt that the situation between the two princes was different from what they imagined, so it was okay to discuss the war as soon as they met, which showed that the prince was concerned about the war.
"Now we are just trying to support ourselves, there are not enough troops and materials. As soon as he entered, King Yin said, took out the northwest defense map, spread it out in front of him, and continued: "Lincheng and Bian Cheng have been captured by them, and the forces of Dijon State are concentrated in the north and have captured Lincheng, and the strength of the Xiyan Kingdom is estimated to be 600,000, and the troops of Xiyan Kingdom are in the west, and there are 600,000 troops, and Bian Cheng was captured by them." ”
"King Yin is resourceful, if it were someone else, it would be impossible to defend it for so many days with 500,000 troops, this king's tiger talisman could have transferred millions of troops, but the emperor seems to have anticipated the war in the south, and only gave me 500,000 troops. It took him a few days to make himself less embarrassed to say the word "king" in front of others.
King Yin continued: "After several battles, this king now has less than 300,000 people, and the Dijon Kingdom and the Xiyan Kingdom have made an appointment to send troops, so naturally there will not be only these troops, and now they have begun to be anxious and want to take the northwest in one fell swoop." ”
Shangguan Qingyuan stared at the map for a while before he said, "The number of people is a little worse, if you can let ...... No, since the countries have attacked Dachen in a row, they will not be easily divided. ”
Shangguan Kongyue said: "I've let people try to separate, but it didn't work." ”
"What do you think?" Shangguan Qingyuan said.
"It's impossible to hold on, we don't have enough supplies, how much food have you brought?"
"It's enough for 500,000 people for half a month, if you add your 300,000 people, it is estimated that it won't last for ten days, the treasury is empty, and the emperor means to fight quickly. ”
"Ten days is not enough at all, and it is not possible to achieve a quick solution. Shangguan Kongyue stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, could it be that he wanted to take out his hidden power.
Once his hidden power is exposed, what will the emperor think? What will the civil and military officials of the imperial court think? There may be all kinds of calculations coming towards him, but the enemy country must not be allowed to enter Dachen.
Now is not the time to be cornered, and the king may have a way.
He has been defending for so many days, with fewer enemies, not to say how powerful, but he has also tried his best, and now he can no longer think of any way to defeat the enemy army whose number is increasing.
Most of the remaining less than 300,000 troops are also disabled, and if King Ding is not here today, perhaps in the afternoon, the Yangcheng they retreated to will be taken by Dijon.
Yangcheng is a fortress, connecting Qu Chang Pass, if they take it away, Qu Chang Pass is also dangerous, once Qu Chang Pass is lost, they can lead their troops south and go directly to Kyoto, and then Dachen Kingdom will be really dangerous.
"Winning more with less, this king has fought before, and this time he can also win. "King Ding's recklessness at the moment is not like him on weekdays, and the confidence in his words is accumulated from thousands of battles.
"I'm different from you, you have confidence and certainty in the war, and I'm not optimistic about this war. Shangguan Kongyue looked at King Ding, who was as relaxed as usual, and the panic in his heart still couldn't be calmed down, what would happen? This time he didn't say anything about this king, he was talking to King Ding from the bottom of his heart.
"I don't really have absolute certainty, but I don't believe that I can win a big battle, how can I establish my majesty in front of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under my command?
"I understand this, but this time is not as simple as before, countries join forces, it is not so simple, and I am good at strategy, and I will also figure out the intentions of the other party, just like this time, I think every day about how the other side will send troops, how many troops, and then make the corresponding layout. Shangguan Kongyue looked at the defense map again and said: "Actually, I should have lost my position a long time ago, even if I had scheming, as long as they attacked directly, I couldn't help it, they seemed to be waiting for some news, or timing." ”
"Waiting?" Shangguan Qingyuan had to admit that King Yin was thoughtful and resourceful, and he suddenly thought of what the Dijon Kingdom was waiting for.
He waved his hand to let the people in the big tent exit, and decided to tell him about it, after all, if he didn't say it, Bai Yuxi would say it too.
"Dijon Kingdom is waiting for me, because I was controlled by their Gu poison, but they didn't expect my Gu poison to be unraveled by Bai Yuxi, and they didn't expect that I was the fourth prince of Dachen. ”
He kept looking at Shangguan Kongyue and saw that he was surprised, not like a fake.
"Why don't you believe it? You can ask Bai Yuxi, and think she has already told you. ”
"I believe you, but that's not a reason why they don't send troops. Shangguan Kongyue pondered in his heart, and then said: "I may have been waiting for you before, but they can't be stupid enough not to know about your Gu poison being unraveled, I still have heard of Gu poison." ”
"You have a point. Bai Liqing suddenly said: "Oh no! They have a plan!"
