Chapter 333: Strategist

Liu Yan paused and continued to speak: "Dayan came to declare war with such fanfare this time, and even the Dayan National Army personally led the army, this move is nothing more than to strengthen Yan's national prestige, so that others feel that he must have the certainty of victory to dare to do so, after all, such a battle with a huge disparity in strength, others can see the ending at a glance, but they still dare to do so, if there is nothing to rely on, or their heads are hot and dizzy." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but the monarch of Dayan is certainly not such a person. Last year, there was trouble at the border, but it was late to declare war when the snow was about to fly at the end of this year, Dayan is located in a bitter cold place, and the soldiers must be more cold-resistant than the soldiers of Dayong, but now it is a number of cold days, that is, it can withstand the cold, and there is a limit. Therefore, Wei Chen believes that Da Yan must have fought quickly, and will no longer draw troops and transport supplies from Da Yan, but will entrench himself for a few days, before King Xian's reinforcements meet him, capture one or two cities again, and then quickly withdraw to Dayan and fight again next year. ”

After Liu Yan finished speaking, she leaned over slightly, this is her opinion, although she is not in the court to listen to politics now, it does not mean that she does not have such a mind, after all, she has been exercising in the court for more than a year, and she is an elm pimple, and she has to become a fine, not to mention Liu Yan, who is already delicate.

The emperor clapped his hands lightly, with a smile in his eyes, and praised without hesitation: "Aiqing is really extraordinary, she has ignored government affairs for more than a year, and her vision is still so tricky." ”

Zhang Fuhai was very surprised, what Liu Yan said was true, such a person must make a difference in the court, and in the harem, he must be a person who rushes to the sixth palace, but Liu Yan's identity is so embarrassing, he can't enter the previous dynasty and go to the harem.

Zhang Fuhai sighed softly, lowered his head, and didn't say much.

"The emperor praised it falsely, Weichen just talked about things, not tricky." Liu Yan's face was not red, and her heart was not beating.

Hearing this, the emperor not only did not get angry, but actually smiled even more happily.

It is rare for Liu Yan to use such a small temperament in front of him, but it makes him feel precious, once upon a time, Liu Yan's voice and smile can be so into his eyes?

The emperor also felt a little wonderful, when he first saw her, it was really Wancheng, at that time, he just thought that Liu Yan was a pretentious style. flowed, deliberately made some movement to please the eldest princess Rao Sha, intending to cling to the small face of the eldest princess Rao Sha.

If she hadn't flatly refused, and was mistaken by others for having broken sleeves to escape Rao Sha's entanglement, the emperor would not have noticed her.

It's just that in the end, I really cared about her because I wanted to borrow someone else's hand and kill her.

Thinking of this, the smile that had risen on the emperor's face before turned cold, and he lowered his eyebrows, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.

After half a sound, Fu slowly spoke: "Aiqing means that you don't need to pay attention to Dayan's self-defense army, just wait for them to withdraw to Dayan after conquering the next city or two?" ”

Hearing the words, Liu Yan was stunned, it was impossible for the emperor not to understand what she meant, so asking was just deliberately making things difficult.

But Liu Yan didn't care, this time she entered the palace, she had already made all preparations, and this matter was not in Liu Yan's eyes.

"Dayan seized my city, killed my people, and openly raised the banner to rebel with the vassal country, since Dayan is ambitious, it is bound to send troops to conscript, and they will be punished if they are far away, and they will be completely kept in Dayong."

After Liu Yan finished speaking, he didn't look at the emperor, but secretly glanced at Zhang Fuhai, who was serving beside the emperor, and the place where his eyes could be seen was Zhang Fuhai's gaze, and he shook his head at Liu Yan slightly.

Liu Yan knew in her heart that he was persuading herself not to be competitive, but now, if she couldn't let the emperor appreciate her and reuse her, she had no other way.

If she didn't fight to be his advisor, she would inevitably become her concubine, she knew this in her heart, and Zhang Fuhai understood it even more in her heart.

Seeing that Liu Yan's eyes were resolute and unmoved, Zhang Fuhai had no choice but to lower his head and no longer dissuade him.

"However, it will take ten days for the troops and horses led by King Xian to meet Dayan's self-defense army at the earliest, if they stop in Xiangcheng, it will be fine, if they do not attack forward, but retreat, then, how to chase?" The emperor rubbed his temples, also a little annoyed.

If it is a justifiable fight, the self-defense army led by the monarch of Dayan will definitely not be a combination of Dayong's soldiers and horses, and it is in the territory of Dayong, Dayong has an absolute advantage, but now, Dayan led an expedition and captured two cities with lightning speed, if it retreated to Dayan, the emperor would not dare to rashly send troops to kill Dayan.

Dayan is bitterly cold, and the New Year is approaching, Dayong's soldiers will not be able to stand the severe cold, and the transportation of grain and grass is also a problem. Therefore, once Dayan retreated, this battle would inevitably end in Dayan's complete victory.

Even if you can raise troops to attack Yan in the spring after the year, there are too many variables in a few months.

"Dayan must be going to recuperate in Xiangcheng for a few days, after all, the loss of 30,000 troops, in this way, take a little rest immediately to see Dayong's reaction, and also make Dayong mistakenly think that they are waiting for reinforcements and grain and grass, but at most two days, they will definitely take action. The two cities closest to Xiangcheng are nothing more than Wucheng and Taicheng, although Wucheng is close, but the terrain is steep, if there is an accident, it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and although Taicheng is far away, the terrain is flat, which is convenient for Dayan to retreat. ”

Liu Yan calmly analyzed the situation, like a strategist pointing out the country, with a confident brilliance in her eyes.

The emperor nodded, what Liu Yan said was the same as he thought, Taicheng must be their next target.

"There are 10,000 garrisons in Taicheng, which is far less than Xiangcheng, and I am afraid that it will not be able to hold even a day." The Emperor sighed softly.

These soldiers defending the city are brave and good at fighting, and their ancestors are also generals with great military achievements, and now that the battle is playing, most of these people are about to die.

It's not that the emperor doesn't cherish the elite soldiers, it's just that at this time, he has more than enough heart and not enough strength.

"Although there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses in Taicheng, there are 20,000 in Wucheng, which adds up to 30,000, if it is used properly, even if these 30,000 soldiers and horses cannot annihilate the 70,000 army of Dayan, there should be no problem in containing it. As long as it can hold out for 4 days, the nearest Nanjun to Taicheng will be able to draw 8,000 soldiers and horses to support, and after 4 days, King Xian will lead his army to arrive. Attacking from the front and back, Dayan will be defeated. What Liu Yan said was categorical.

She must buy time for Yuan Tianzhi, as long as the emperor agrees to transfer troops in this way, in front of the ten thousand armies, even if the Xian King who rushed to make reinforcements does not have the first merit, he will definitely not be attacked and killed in the ten thousand armies.

The emperor heard Liu Yan's words with a somewhat strange expression, Liu Yan could say this, I am afraid that he didn't know that Yuan Tianzhi only led less than a thousand soldiers and horses to Xiangcheng alone, and the 100,000 elite soldiers led by Rou Gangyu were still two days away from them.

Therefore, even if the 30,000 soldiers and horses of Wucheng and Taicheng combined and the 8,000 men and horses of Nanjun can stay for ten days, after ten days, King Xian led the army to arrive, but it still can't solve this dead end, it's just a matter of more deaths, and it can't change anything.

Although the emperor had a lot of thoughts, he couldn't detect anything on his face.

"Just do what Aiqing said, Zhang Fuhai, pass on my will, order the chief general of Wucheng, the county guard of Nanjun, and lead the army to be ready to reinforce Taicheng at any time, be sure to defend Taicheng, and wait for the reinforcements of King Xian." What the emperor said was categorical, the will had been issued, and there was no way to change it.

Liu Yan quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, now what they lack most is time, Dayan wants to fight fast, what about Baili Jin and Zhi'er?

"The minions obey." Zhang Fuhai took it down, raised his head, and wanted to say something to Liu Yan while the emperor was bowing his head, but he opened his mouth, and when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it alive, and then bowed down and retreated, with a self-deprecating smile on the corner of his mouth.

He is just a minion, he was born as the emperor, and he can't escape when he dies, and he actually tried to change something before, which is really ridiculous, and he has been immersed in this deep palace for many years, and he actually has a time when his sympathy is overflowing.

It's just that every time I see Yuan Tianzhi, I always think of the back of that great hero.

I don't think it's a pity.

"Master, you slow down." Outside the hall, Xiao Guizi looked at his master's dejected appearance, and was stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Zhang Fuhai realized that he had been in a trance before, but he was a little out of shape.

glanced at Xiao Guizi's worried eyes, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "This Kyoto is about to change again, but I don't know, this time, who can have the last laugh?" ”

Zhang Fuhai shook his head with a wry smile, then turned around and left, and went to announce the decree.

In this life, there have been too many wills that have been recited, but this time, my heart is extremely heavy, that is, when King Xian died, when he read the will to kill the pit, he was not as full of remorse as he is now.

Sometimes, even if you regret it, you can't help it.

Xiao Guizi looked at the back of Zhang Fuhai walking away, and his heart fluctuated for a while, the master who has always been smooth and never said much would actually say such a thing, it seems that something big is going to happen again.

Thinking of this, Xiao Guizi hurriedly straightened his waist and stood up in the cold wind, lest he be found in the wrong place.

In the warm pavilion of the Yixin Palace, only Liu Yan, who bowed his head and was silent, and the emperor who was full of worries remained.

The room was so quiet that even the sound of each other's fluctuating heartbeats could be heard, and after a long time, the emperor slowly spoke, breaking the silence.

The voice was very low, with a hint of a low groan from the depths of ancient times, which made people listen to it extremely depressing.

"I, how did you think about the things that made you think about it before?"

Before the words fell, Liu Yan already knew what was going on.

More than a year ago, in the Yixin Palace, there were also only two of them, the emperor had mentioned that she would enter the harem, and promised him a not low position, although the emperor did not say it explicitly, but Liu Yan thought, it must not be lower than her official rank in the previous dynasty.

There is no need to pretend to be stupid in front of smart people, "Weichen is willing to be the emperor's adviser and the emperor's humerus minister above the court." ”

Although she can't pretend to be stupid, she can confuse the public.

The emperor not only hinted that she would enter the harem, but also thought about letting her succeed her as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

Sure enough, listening to Liu Yan's words, the emperor frowned, and there was a helpless smile on his face.

In the end, he had to nod, "In the future, you will live in this palace, after Wen Yan got married, Shu Ya was always not in the palace, and there was no one to talk to the Queen Mother, so you will live in Wenyan Palace first and accompany the Queen Mother." ”

Liu Yan got up, and before she could speak, the emperor spoke again: "I know your thoughts, since you don't want to enter the harem, then be my advisor, and when it's time to get married, I will personally send you to marry." ”

At this point, Liu Yan didn't want to say anything more, the emperor didn't let her appoint the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, just because she was afraid that this identity would not be able to live in the palace for a long time.

But entering the palace to visit the queen mother, by the way, staying and waiting for the big wedding after the year, to marry from the palace, for her, the county lord, is the most reasonable.

"Yes, Wechen obeys." Liu Yan responded, and then bowed down and said goodbye.

Out of the Yixin Palace, a little eunuch greeted Liu Yan and took Liu Yan to the Zhicui Palace where Wen Yan lived before she got married.

Xiao Guizi was also outside the hall, and bowed very politely to Liu Yan, as if he had seen it for the first time, extremely rusty.

Liu Yan glanced at him lightly, and then nodded in response.

followed the little eunuch to Zhicui Palace.

Along the way, the snow fell, and although the little eunuch bowed down to the side to hold an umbrella for Liu Yan, there were still large snowflakes falling on Liu Yan's shoulders, staying for a while, and then melting.

Zhicui Palace has already been renovated, and it can be seen that the emperor must have ordered people to repair it, where is there still the shabby appearance when Wenyan lived in the past.

It seems that the emperor had already guessed that she would come, or that the emperor had long been ready to let her live in.

But in any case, it is much better to live here, although it is in a remote location, than in the noisy and noisy harem.

"The county lord, it has arrived, the emperor knows that the county lord is coming, and he has already ordered the internal affairs office to repair this palace, and there are a lot of rare things in it.

"What are you doing in a daze, you haven't come to greet you yet, this is Lord Hui, and I will serve carefully in the future." The little eunuch was smiling with Liu Yan one second, but the next second he immediately changed his appearance in front of the two little palace maids.

The two little palace maids named Cai'er and Die'er seemed to be afraid of him, and they ran to Liuyan in small steps and knelt on the ground: "Slave Cai'er, Die'er, meet the county lord Hui, the county lord Wanfu Jin'an." ”

"Excuse me, get up." Liu Yan took a step forward and walked towards Zhicui Palace.

The little eunuch had the intention to scold the two little palace maids for a few words to show off his prestige, and seeing that Liu Yan had already entered the palace first, he hurriedly stomped his feet, glared at the little palace maid and quickly followed.

As soon as you enter Zhicui Palace, there are dragons everywhere, and there are stoves everywhere, and there are expensive incense inside, which is sweet but rich.

The hibiscus tent is warm, the incense is permeated, such a hot and luxurious boudoir, I am afraid that when Wenyan was in Dayong, he never enjoyed it for a day.

When she arrives in Daqi, no matter what, it must be better than here, after all, in Daqi, there is a man who cherishes her very much. (To be continued.) )
