958 suspicious, excellent opportunity
Even the old emperor knew the news in the northwest, how could Jing Yan, who had been staring at Qin silently, not know?
However, the news in the northwest has been well concealed, and under the joint efforts of the king of Pingxi County and General Fenglao, the news in the northwest can be found, but it may not be able to be sent.
The news in Jing Yan's hands did not come from the northwest, but from the capital, only a quarter of an hour before Qin Shiyan received the message from the capital.
"The war in the northwest is over!" Jing Yan put down the letter in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.
Even God is helping Qin Shiyan to end the war in the northwest at this time.
"Master, the border fortress has not been recovered yet, how can it be settled?" Jing Yan's henchmen also knew the news, and he was very happy to see the news at the beginning.
Fengyao rebelled and occupied the fortress of Biansai, and the king of Pingxi County must continue to fight, and if the war between Daqin and Xihu is not over, it will be impossible to transfer troops to Jiangnan, they may really be able to occupy Jiangnan, or take this opportunity to enter the capital.
"The city...... Can't take it back, Feng Yao has 200,000 people in his hands, he occupies that city and has no intention of attacking Daqin again, that old thing will not leave too many soldiers and horses there, and soon the king of Pingxi will be transferred back to Beijing. "Jing Yan is not untargeted, but inferred from the situation in the northwest, but ......
"There's another possibility."
"What is possible?"
"Da Qin wants to swallow Xihu! This is a good opportunity, as long as that old thing has the courage to take down Fengyao, he can attack the Xihu Imperial City in one fell swoop. Jing Yan would say this because he was thinking about the problem from the position of the old emperor.
If he was the emperor of Great Qin, then he would never let go of this opportunity.
Xihu is in civil strife, and Feng Yao supports his troops to stand on his own, what a good opportunity to attack.
"It's a pity that the old thing is old, and the suspicion is heavy, Qin Jianyan had led the troops in the northwest before, and the soldiers and horses in the northwest must be towards Qin Xiaoyan, at this time, if you want to indulge these people to make meritorious contributions, the old emperor is afraid that he can't suppress it." If there were the Feng family's soldiers and horses, the old emperor might consider attacking Xihu, but now?
The old emperor only wanted to collect military power.
Jing Yan's henchmen were very puzzled when they heard this, "Master, the emperor won't give up such a good opportunity for personal gain, right?" "The throne originally belonged to the emperor's grandson, if you can take the opportunity to expand Linggui, whose credit is it, does it matter?
"Not exactly, King Pingxi...... If you can't beat Feng Yao, if you can really fight it, the war in the northwest will not be stalemate for so long. When the old thing reaches his old age, he cherishes his feathers and does not want to waste his troops and financial resources, and finally ends up infamous for achieving nothing. "Maybe the king of Pingxi County can't be beaten, but he won't fight.
This practice of raising Kou will be done by many famous generals.
There is no way, if there is no Xihu as a big enemy, and without Feng Yao as a strong enemy, how can the king of Pingxi County gain a foothold? How will the prince of Pingxi County gain a foothold?
The generals are no better than Wenchen, there is no war, there is no opponent who can match you, then no matter how strong you are, it is useless, because you can't use it.
The king of Pingxi County, looking at his title, knows that the Yan family is meritorious in attacking Xihu, so he can be crowned the king of Pingxi County, if there is no Xihu, there is no Feng Yao, an opponent of equal strength, then the Yan family, the king of Pingxi County, will soon disappear from the court.
With Xihu here, there is such an opponent as Fengyao, the king of Pingxi County will be reused, Yan Qian will also be reused, and even the generals in the northwest will be reused, even if these people fall to Qin Xiaoyan, the old emperor will have to support them.
If you don't support them, who will you rely on to fight?
As Jing Yan expected, the old emperor learned the news from the northwest, and immediately ordered the king of Xuanping Xijun to return to Beijing with an army of 100,000 troops, and Feng Cheng as the general......
The 100,000 troops brought back by the king of Pingxi were the people he brought to suppress the bandits that day, these people were drawn from various military camps, and it was normal for the old emperor to transfer them back.
As for the king of Pingxi?
Yan is in the northwest, and there must always be someone in the capital as a hostage, just like the Cheng family generals are leading the troops outside, and the Cheng family is staying in the capital.
There is nothing wrong with the old emperor's will, and because of the matter of General Feng, the generals in the court have been holding their tails one by one recently, although they feel that they should not send the soldiers and horses from the northwest back now, but no one dares to say anything.
They were afraid, afraid that as soon as they opened their mouths to ask for soldiers, the old emperor would think that they were going to rebel.
The matter in the northwest ended quickly, and the news quickly reached the ears of General Fenglao, who just nodded and smiled......
The sons and daughters of their Feng family are all capable.
The old emperor's handling of the northwest, Qin Xiaoyan knew about it for the first time, and he was not surprised at all.
He had long expected that the old emperor would do this, and if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have let Feng Yao occupy a city in Great Qin. As long as Feng Yao occupies that city, the strength of the northwest will definitely remain above 200,000.
With 200,000 horses in the northwest, 300,000 horses from the Feng family, and 500,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, what else is Qin Xiaoyan afraid of?
Things are going according to Qin Xiaoyan's plan, and the only thing that can give him a headache at this moment is the main city of Jiangnan!
He led people to fight for ten days, and there was still no sign of breaking the city.
Those ballistas and chariots prepared by Jing Yan are really too strong. Qin Shiyan didn't want to sacrifice too much, he had been fighting very conservatively, and after ten days, he still couldn't find a way to break the city.
Of course, the conservative style of play is not without benefits, at least his casualties in the past ten days are less than 100, which is a big victory.
Tang Yong persuaded Qin Shanyan several times and asked Qin Shanyan to order a strong attack, he was confident that he would lead people to break the city, but Qin Shanyan did not agree, and even did not agree to attack during the day, and attacked at night for ten consecutive days.
Tang Yong really didn't understand what Qin Xiaoyan meant by doing this? But he didn't dare to ask, and he could only endure the grievances.
Others didn't know Qin Shiyan's intentions, but Jing Yan knew.
The vision was not good at night, Qin Shiyan only attacked the city and did not fight, so he could not understand the fighting style of the Feng family's army, and there was no way to study the formation of the Feng family.
If you can't break the city, you will retreat, you are not impatient, you seem to be passive, but in fact, the person who is really passive is Jing Yan.
Jing Yan had already ordered a large amount of supplies to be transported away, and the grain and grass left in Jiangnan was only enough for the army to eat for three months, if Qin Yanyan had been trapped in the city, they would have no supplies of grain and grass, so they would have to evacuate as much as possible.
In this way, Qin Shiyan didn't have to fight at all, he had to automatically withdraw from the army, and he ...... After working for a long time, waiting for Qin Xiaoyan for a long time, in the end, he still had no chance to fight the Feng family army head-on, unable to find out the strength of the Feng family army, and unable to make an effective layout for the Feng family army.
"Qin Xiaoyan is really ...... The traitorous goods inside clearly said that they were going to fight happily, but the result was so suffocating? Jing Yan has been very irritable by Qin Xiaoyan recently, and he has bruises right now......
No way, since Qin Shiyan led his troops to besiege the city, he hadn't had a good night's sleep.
