"It is the minister's sin to be in charge of the privy council and fail to repel the Han army, which makes His Majesty worried!" Wang Zhaoyuan said to Meng Chang respectfully.

Although Wang Zhaoyuan is a virtual person, he is indeed smart, involved in generals, and has a high position, but he knows that his glory and power come from Meng Chang, so he can command in front of his colleagues and subordinates, but he has always been loyal to his master.

"Your loyalty, I know!" Regarding his performance, Meng Chang bowed slightly, and said: "It's just that in the north, the border situation continues, the Han army invades and oppresses, although the Han army is blocked in the north of the mighty city, but the war is resting for a day, and it is difficult for me to sleep peacefully for a day!" ”

"I looked at the military newspapers, they were all from Fengzhou, and Li Tingqi reported that the Han army has not made any military moves for a month? What is the reason for not fighting and not fighting, retreating and not retreating? Meng Chang looked at Wang Zhaoyuan and asked, "You say, is the Han army planning any conspiracy?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry! I am strong towards the mountains and rivers, the soldiers are decent, the mighty city is impregnable, and the Han army is just difficult to break through our army's defense line! Seeing that the emperor was expressing hidden worries, Wang Zhaoyuan immediately spoke, his face was confident, but it didn't seem to be a word of relief.

Facing Meng Chang's gaze, Wang Zhaoyuan made some pretentious gestures, calmly recounted, and said: "The minister went north twice to check and arrange the border defense last year and this spring, and the mountains and rivers in Fengzhou are victorious, and the city and pass of our army are well understood.

With the strength of the walled city, as long as the soldiers, horses, food and equipment are sufficient, and the soldiers defend it with their hearts, even if they have millions of enemy troops, they can also defend it. Now, the Han army in the south has no more than 40,000 soldiers, and it is necessary to divide soldiers and horses along the way to ensure the grain route. The real Han army in Kouguan is only inferior to our army in military strength.

In front of the mighty city pass, there are many obstacles in the wilderness, covering a wide area, it is difficult to deploy soldiers and horses, and it is even more difficult to give full play to the advantages of its Han army with the city pass to rely on. Our army was able to hold this for nearly three months, and the Han army did not advance an inch, which has proved that our army's defense is solid.

If the Han army chooses to storm our city, it will be just death. And the Han Emperor can pay the army to his commander to train, and he must know it, and he does not dare to attack rashly, and waste the lives of his soldiers in vain!

No, this time the Han army attacked me, fought for a long time without making achievements, wasted money, food and people's resources, it was already futile, if you lose soldiers and horses again, it will be a sin! ”

Listening to Wang Zhaoyuan's analysis, Meng Chang was a little sorrowful, nodded subconsciously, looked at him, and asked: "If you follow Qing's words, the Han army in Fengzhou, isn't it a dilemma?" ”

"Exactly! Your Majesty is smart, in a word! Wang Zhaoyuan smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said to Meng Chang: "If you advance, you will be hindered by the strong passes, and if you retreat, it will be difficult to explain to the Han court, so you can only fall into the mountains, and it is difficult to decide whether you advance or retreat!" ”

"If it is the Northern Han Dynasty, it will be good if the army can be withdrawn!" Meng Chang couldn't help but sigh, speaking from the heart.

Judging from the experience of these years, it is not a good choice to fight with the Han army, and Meng Chang's mentality has changed, and now he just wants to sit in Sichuan and Shu, be a Taiping king, and not offend the Central Plains.

Being able to figure out part of Meng Chang's psychology and listen to his words, Wang Zhaoyuan's eyes flashed slightly, but he shook his head gently, broke Meng Chang's delusions, and said to him: "Your Majesty, I am only afraid of the Northern Han Dynasty, and I will not say anything about quitting the army."

Liu Chengyou, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, arrogant and arrogant, greedy and violent, known to the world, has repeatedly used swords and soldiers over the years, has always been victorious and triumphant, with his martial arts, he is categorically not frustrated by our dynasty, so as not to laugh for the world! Therefore, the battle of Fengzhou must have a victory or defeat result! ”

"After all, the monarchs of the Northern Han Dynasty still underestimate my Dashu!" Wang Zhaoyuan said, and between his attitudes, he actually showed a sarcastic look: "He personally conquered the Southern Tang Dynasty, and won all the merits in half a year to help his arrogance." And I went north to Qin Feng twice and attacked Guanzhong, but I was defeated by him. It is precisely because of this that the Han Emperor dared to hold on to himself like this and brazenly enter the court!

However, I don't know that the Han army can crisscross Huainan only because of its sharp footsteps, and Huainan is flat, and its monarch is faint and deaf, resulting in the defeat of the country. This is not the case with our dynasty, only the danger of the terrain is difficult for the Han army to overcome! ”

Wang Zhaoyuan talked eloquently, calmly, seeing his high spirits, Meng Chang couldn't help but add a little confidence, thought about it, and said: "When I was young, I was admitted to Shu with the emperor, and I walked on the Sanguan Road, the post road was rugged and difficult, and the pedestrians and business trips were still difficult, and the situation was in the army. As Li and Gao played, after winter, the climate becomes cooler, and the Han army should have no reason to withdraw! ”

Wang Zhaoyuan replied: "The minister thinks that before the heavy snow closes the mountain, the Han army will definitely not withdraw. Even, before the closure of the mountain, the Han army may go to the Qinling camp wall to speed up the hoarding of grain, grass and ordnance in preparation for the winter! According to the front-line military intelligence, there are already signs of this! ”

"In this way, the Han army is really going to be unforgiving, and it will rest until death!" Meng Chang frowned.

Wang Zhaoyuan smiled, was arrogant, and raised his head slightly: "The minister hopes that the Han army can be stubborn and not retreat, then, it will give my court a chance to defeat the Han army!" ”

Hearing Wang Zhaoyuan say this, Meng Chang suddenly came to his senses, his eyes lit up, and he stared at him closely: "Listen to what you mean, is there a plan?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Zhaoyuan got up and took a map that marked the confrontation between the Shu and Han armies on the Fengzhou front. He gestured a few times with one hand and said to Meng Chang: "Your Majesty, over the years, we have had 200,000 stone of military rations in Liangquan and Weiwu City, and after the war, we replenished a large amount, which was completely enough to consume. The Han army was different, tens of thousands of troops were as deep as the mighty city, people ate horses and chewed, every rice and corn, a gun and an arrow, all need to be transported from Guanzhong. Therefore, the lifeblood of the Han army lies in the Panpan Mountain Road! ”

Looking at Meng Chao, Wang Zhaoyuan couldn't help but be a little proud, and said: "I have been fighting for a long time, and the minister has been thinking hard about how to break the situation these days. Now that I have gained, I want to ask your majesty! ”

"Tell me!" Meng Chang's interest intensified.

Pretending, Wang Zhaoyuan smiled and said: "The minister's strategy, in fact, is not difficult, just send a general, lead a strong army, attack the rear of the Han army, cut off its grain route, and cut off its back road!" At that time, as long as you stick to the head and tail, tens of thousands of Han troops will be trapped in front of the mighty city, and our army will easily hold on! ”

Hearing his strategy, Meng Chang was overjoyed at first, and then hesitated and said: "Although I don't know the soldiers, I also know the importance of the grain road and the back road. ”

Seeing that Meng Chang actually questioned his strategy, Wang Zhaoyuan felt slightly unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it. With a smile on his face, he patiently explained to Meng Chang: "If it was the early stage, the Han army would definitely be vigilant, but now that it has been so long, our dynasty has always adopted a conservative strategy, fortified the town, and even if it came out, it was only invited to fight, testing the truth and reality, and there was no other move, so the Han army must have slackened."

And familiar with the surrounding terrain and roads, our army is far superior to the Han army, only need to send troops and horses, quietly move, out of the Han army's surprise, will be able to make contributions! ”

"The minister has calculated, as long as the Han army can be successfully intercepted, the enemy will be greatly defeated, and our army will definitely win!" Wang Zhaoyuan bowed his hand to Meng Chang and said, "Your Majesty does not need to be suspicious! ”

Meng Chang was obviously moved by Wang Zhaoyuan's words, rubbed his hands uncontrollably, and finally nodded in response: "No matter what, you can order Li Tingqi to attack and try, even if it fails, it will not hinder the overall situation!" ”

Hearing Meng Chang say this, Wang Zhaoyuan was even more relaxed. He was thinking that if he succeeded, the first credit would be him, and he would strategize and win a thousand miles. If there is an accident, then Li Tingqi and others are not effective in fighting, which ruined his good strategy......

But after Meng Chang said it in advance, for him, it was even more harmless, after all, the emperor had a word first.

"I hope this strategy can succeed and repel the Han army in one fell swoop!" Standing up, Meng Chang couldn't help but sigh faintly: "If the Han army fails to plot against me this time, he will not dare to come back easily in the future, so that my dynasty will be peaceful......"

What Meng Chang wants now is just a peace, and the requirements are not high.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Zhaoyuan was ambitious, and said in high spirits: "If this strategy is successful, it will not only repel the Han army!" The Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty reformed the military system, collected the military power of the local festival, and the elite of Guanzhong and a part of the forbidden army were all on the front line of Weiwu City. If it can be annihilated in the Qinling Mountains, our army can take advantage of the situation to march out of Qinlong and sweep the empty pass.

After that, as long as there is a slight rectification, you can go east out of Kunhan and compete with the Northern Han for the Central Plains. At that time, the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty had a feud, and they would inevitably send troops to the north to recapture Huainan. Jingnan Gao's family has always been greedy for small profits, and they can also be tempted.

In recent years, under the governance of Emperor Han, the Central Plains has been recovering day by day, and then using this to lure the party and the Khitan to send troops.

After the success, the party and the Khitan are alien races, and they can't stay in China for a long time, and the likes of the Southern Tang Dynasty and Jingnan are not enough, and the world will be returned to our ......dynasty."

After a grand blueprint and a great plan, Wang Zhaoyuan arranged it clearly and clearly. Three years ago, when the Han Emperor went south, Wang Zhaoyuan made similar remarks, inducing Meng Chang to send troops to the north to attack Guanzhong.

However, at this moment, Meng Chang's reaction was obviously a little flat.
