Now that war is inevitable, the next step is to deal with it.

Shang Tianliang couldn't help much in this matter, that is, Lin Duowen and Chen Qiuzhun said.

Most of the Di people are cavalry, and the Yu Dynasty has to deal with the cavalry with cavalry, otherwise it is all infantry, in the vast grassland of Yunge Mansion, the infantry can't catch the enemy's main force at all, and they are kited by the Di people.

Chen Qiuzhun's suggestion is to defend the city first, if King Zuo Xian wants to make a mess, he will definitely want to find a way to boost morale, Yunge Mansion is the base camp of the Di people, Lin Duowen went with the army, this person is not familiar with the place, if he encounters the water and soil, the combat effectiveness of the army will decline at that time, and the Di people will find the right opportunity, then it will not be a big defeat.

If this Zuoxian King comes to attack the city, he will only lose his troops at that time, and then they can take advantage of the victory to pursue and succeed in one fell swoop.

Lin Duowen said that what if King Zuo Xian did not attack the city, he only needed to defend the royal court and erect an anti-flag, if the court did not destroy it early, it would inevitably make King Zuo Xian arrogant.

Chen Qiuzhun said that if that was the case, then the imperial army could only find a way to have a big battle with King Zuoxian, otherwise King Zuo Xian would run in front, and they would chase after him, and in the end, people would be tired and would suffer instead.

Lin Duowen had some doubts, saying that both sides were running, and the court was sleepy and lacking horses, wouldn't King Zuoxian's soldiers be? Chen Qiuzhun said that these Di people have always lived as nomads, so they can naturally travel long distances.

"Uncle, if we really chase it, I suggest that we can still contact the various departments of the Di people, allow them to take heavy profits, let them be our eyes and ears, or help us intercept, so that we can form a net on the vast grassland and trap King Zuo Xian in it."

Lin Duowen said yes, Chen Qiuzhun wanted to get the map of Yunge Mansion, and Lin Duowen entrusted the people of Xia Guanfu to get this map.

Looking at the map, Chen Qiuzhun began to plan, telling Lin Duowen where to intercept, where to camp, and contact those tribes.

In the end, Chen Qiuzhun found a plan for himself, called spreading the net on all sides and ambushing on all sides.

Of course, this is also an old strategy, and it was the same when he dealt with Xiaojinshan Yun's family, but the four-sided net is just a metaphor, and this net is real.

At the end of June, the sage summoned Lin Duowen and said to him, "I hope that you will put down this rebellion of the Di people within a month, and if it is delayed until winter, I am afraid it will be even more difficult." ”

Lin Duowen said yes, the sage asked Lin Duowen what countermeasures he had, and Lin Duowen told Chen Qiuzhun about his countermeasures.

After the sage and Concubine Ping saw it, Concubine Ping said to Lin Duowen: "This strategy is not bad, but this is just talk on paper, if King Zuo Xian doesn't follow your ideas, how should you deal with it?" ”

Lin Duowen said that if King Zuo Xian did not do this, then he would also adapt to the situation and would never wait for the rabbit.

The saint nodded and said: "That's right, this soldier is alive, not dead, although this time it is the eldest prince who is the main one, but I have already instructed him to fully cooperate with you." Lin Duowen, I hope you don't let me down. ”

Lin Duowen said that he didn't dare, and the sage let him go down first, and then looked at the map and said, "According to what Lin Duowen said, it is possible to end this war before winter." ”

"The concubine doesn't think so, and the concubine thinks that this war may have to wait until after the spring of next year?"

"Huh? Is it? The saint looked at Concubine Ping, and looked at Concubine Ping with some doubts.

Concubine Ping said to the sage: "Sage, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and everything must be prepared for the worst. ”

The sage said yes, he said that if it can't be finished before the winter, then he will also issue an edict to let Lin Duowen return to the city to recuperate, and wait until the beginning of spring before attacking.

On the first day of the seventh month, the imperial court led 5,000 cavalry to the Qingyun enclosure in the name of Qiuqiu, with the eldest prince as the main prince.

On the way, the eldest prince also summoned Lin Duowen several times, and there were a few more sons around the eldest prince, but these sons were not familiar with the military, so when Lin Duowen and the eldest prince met, these sons did not say anything.

The eldest prince has a good impression of Lin Duowen, because every time Lin Duowen is summoned, he responds to military answers fluently, as if he is really proficient.

In fact, Shang Tianliang was mixed in the guards of the eldest prince, and when the eldest prince and several princes discussed the problem, Shang Tianliang wrote it down, and then told Chen Qiuzhun, so Chen Qiuzhun prepared the answer and asked Lin Duowen to answer.

Lin Duowen has never forgotten this, but even if he forgets it, there is not much of a problem, and the eldest prince and several princes don't know.

The speed of the army's movement was very fast, and the journey that had been a month was completed in twenty-three days.

When the eldest prince and their army arrived in Huanglong City, the prefect and the governor of Yunge Mansion hurriedly ran over, and after saluting, the prefect told the eldest prince that this Zuoxian King had rebelled.

Although the eldest prince had known that there would be such a result, he was still a little surprised when he heard the news.

Lin Duowen reluctantly calmed down and asked the prefect how the situation was now?

The prefect said that he had already told the imperial court, and the prefect persuaded the eldest prince that since such an incident had happened, then the matter of Qiu Qiu was forgotten, and it was too late for the eldest prince to leave here with the army.

Hearing this, Chen Qiuzhun gently pushed Lin Duowen, Lin Duowen stepped forward and said: "Prefect, what are you talking about, Your Highness was ordered to hold the Autumn Ceremony for the saint, and now there are just a few rebels, let Your Highness take refuge, don't you look down on Your Highness, Your Highness, please Your Highness is not in the paddock now, but in this grassland, not to hunt wild beasts, but to hunt rebels." ”

The eldest prince originally came for this, so he gave an impassioned speech, saying that King Zuo Xian was restless and guarded himself, and served the court well, but now that he was in turmoil, how could he tolerate it when he saw this.

After the eldest prince finished speaking, the prefect said that he had lost his words and asked the eldest prince what he should do now, and the eldest prince asked the prefect to gather the tens of thousands of soldiers in the enclosure with his own army to go to the royal court. Then it was to scout King Zuoxian's movements so that he could annihilate this group of people in one fell swoop.

The eldest prince also announced the edict, saying that this time they were only targeting the rebels of King Zuoxian, and those who assisted the heavenly army would not be implicated.

The army was resting in the city, and at this time there was a person who came to see Lin Duowen, this person's surname was Qian, his name, and his name was Gongya, and he was the grandson of He Haoli. He received a letter from He Haoli, so he came here to work for Lin Duowen.

After Qian Du arrived, he immediately offered a strategy, saying that the magnanimous will of the imperial court may not be able to reach the Di people, so it is better to gather the Di people in the city, give them money, and let them go to deliver the news.

In this way, this grace can be known by the Di people as soon as possible, and these two, if Di is here, if the Zuo Xian King is attacking the city, there may be an internal response in it.

When most of the people have left with the money, the remaining small part will be regulated.

Lin Duowen naturally accepted this matter, so Lin Duowen went to the eldest prince to tell him about it.

The eldest prince nodded, and asked the prefect to find the Di people in the city, and when he found them, he couldn't be too rude and let the Di people misunderstand.

The eldest prince didn't want this Zuoxian King to attack the city yet, and Huanglong City had civil strife first.

The prefect said yes, so he asked his subordinates to invite these Di people, and said that the eldest prince had something to say.

The Di people in this city were also frightened, and they feared that they would be arrested as spies, or that the army would arrive and kill them first to vent their anger.

These people gathered at the entrance of the vegetable market, and those who were doing business had already put away their things and made room for them after getting the news.

In the anxious waiting of the Di people, the eldest prince arrived here, the eldest prince looked at the frightened appearance of the Di people present, and said to them: "Everyone, I came here this time, not to cure your sins, whether it is the Di people or the Central Plains people, they are all the people under the rule of the imperial court, and they are all the people of the saints, and the saints are treated equally. Now the puppet king is in turmoil, and he is alone in the crusade. ”

The eldest prince said this, and the cavalry around him shouted in unison.

The killing sound was earth-shattering, and some timid Di people were directly frightened and fell to their knees.

The eldest prince also said his grace, hoping that the tribe of the Di people could help him, if he had been attached to King Zuo Xian before, now he abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and he was not to blame for everything, and if he made a meritorious service, he would also be rewarded for his merits.

If they go to deliver the news, they will be rewarded with 500 yuan each.

The eldest prince also said that whether their family went or killed a person, it would be the case.

After the prince finished speaking, he asked people to push out the copper coins and send them to the city gate, and those who left would take away five hundred wen, and tonight, the city gate will not be closed.

After hearing this, the people thought about it, and finally decided to leave here first, so as not to suffer an unjustified disaster when they got it.

And the eldest prince and they have also gone back to rest, and tomorrow they will go to conquer King Zuoxian.

Their goal is to go to the royal court first, fight a general battle in front of the royal court, and succeed in one fell swoop.

As for the hope of victory, the eldest prince is full of confidence, this is given to him by Lin Duowen, Lin Duowen told the eldest prince that the troops that King Zuoxian can use are less than 10,000, and the imperial court has 50,000 cavalry this time, which can be regarded as gathering all the cavalry in the north here, not to mention that there are 100,000 van troops stationed here in Yunge Mansion, and as long as 50,000 foot soldiers are required at that time, they can completely win.

Of course, after King Zuoxian left, they would set up another Shan Yu in the royal court, or in the name of the queen, they would gather the tribes of the Di people to encircle and suppress King Zuoxian.

At that time, they would let these foot soldiers slowly advance, forming a four-sided net and trapping King Zuo Xian.

Although this consumes a lot of materials, but the Yu Dynasty is not short of food, more than 20 years of Shengping life, the Yu Dynasty has a full warehouse of grain and rotten.
