Chapter 467: Asking for Advice
Duan Mingyu's estimate was not wrong. In fact, the tribal soldiers and horses of the Khitan and Xi tribes could only draw out more than 200,000 people. However, Yelu Deguang also incorporated the Yandi Han generals who surrendered to the Khitan into his ranks. So the army would be 400,000 men. Plus the logistics of the people is a full half a million. The mountains are overwhelming.
Among the multitude. There is only one Li Cunmiao who is calm. Be at ease. But he knows. Plus the 100,000 troops in Yanjing City. Even 600,000 people can't see how to get King Zhao. There are fewer examples in history where less is more. The former Qin Fujian's million-strong army waved to the south. In the end, he was defeated by 100,000 men. It can be seen that a large number of people does not necessarily lead to victory. What's more, the Khitans have hundreds of thousands of Yandi Han generals in their hands. These people are the grass on the wall. It's a big variable. Hundreds of thousands of variables. It's already enough to decide this war.
Duan Mingyu Liangjiu. Quickly swept the faces of the generals. Suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahahaha. This is really God Help."
The generals were amazed. Qi Qi looked at King Zhao. Shang Rang couldn't help but ask, "Lord Wang. 500,000 enemy soldiers pressed the border. Why is the prince so surprised?"
Duan Mingyu smiled and said, "The barbarian clan is fierce and stubble. Now it is given to 500,000 people. It's tantamount to self-pit. Khitan. Defeated generals. A Zhao Kuo who talks on paper. What are you afraid of him?"
He looked at the generals with a smile. Said proudly: "Do you think. The more soldiers and horses, the better? Wrong. Miss by a mile. Han Xinbing is the more the merrier. Not everyone has what it takes to command hundreds of thousands of troops. In the past, Han Gaozu had frankly admitted to himself. He can only lead a hundred thousand people at most. And more. It's beyond the power of his generals. Jerod is light young. Small battles are certainly easy to play. 500,000 people. How can he be virtuous? Can you surpass Han Gaozu? Give him half a million soldiers. No need to fight. He messed up the trick himself. Isn't that good news?"
The generals listened. That's true. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. A relaxed smile again.
Duan Mingyu pointed the horsewhip forward easily. Said: "All arms war. Wait until the light of Jerod arrives. And this king smitten his ancestors to accumulate virtue and shine. It is also difficult to wash away the humiliation of defeat."
Stay until the evening. Duan Mingyu immediately withdrew from the left and right of the account. He commanded the guards outside the tent in a deep voice: "Take Wang Yanzhang quickly. LI Cunqiao. The three generals Li Cunxiao came to see the king."
Wang Yanzhang is leading people to inspect the barracks. Check out the military appearance and military discipline. Overheard Duan Mingyu's message. hurriedly gave up the discipline soldiers and rushed to the Chinese army camp. Wang Yanzhang roll call. After entering the big tent of the Chinese army. I couldn't help but be stunned. In the big tent, except for Zhao Wang Duan Mingyu sitting according to the case. There are also Li Cunqiao and Li Cunxiao. He was familiar with both of them. Li Cunqiao is young and resolute. Well commanded. Li Cunxiao fought bravely. His personal combat power is still above him. Speaking of strength. Fight bravely. Among hundreds of thousands of people, except for Li Cunxiao. He hasn't served anyone.
There is a candle flame burning in front of the desk. Reflected half of Duan Mingyu's face. The faint wind brings the candlelight to sway. Duan Mingyu's expression also looked uncertain. I saw Wang Yanzhang coming in. Without waiting for him to come forward and salute. Duan Mingyu said in a deep voice: "Yanzhang. No need to be polite. Come. Sit down closely."
Wang Yanzhang was stunned. "Yes." Look at only Duan Mingyu's desk, there is only one chair left in front of the table. Wang Yanzhang walked over and sat down.
Duan Mingyu stared intently at Li Cunqiao. said: "Today Xu Jing has news. The Khitan army of 500,000 arrived in an instant. The generals' faces changed color. Trepidation in my heart. This king is all over the generals. You're the only one who is calm. Here's why."
Only then did Li Cunmiao understand the reason why he summoned himself and the others. I couldn't help laughing and said, "Before everyone. . . Didn't the prince already explain the reason?"
Duan Mingyu said with a straight face: "That's just my words to appease the army. The Khitan army of 500,000. This king is now full of no more than 300,000 people. How to match it. And the Khitans are extremely brave. There are still 100,000 troops in Yanjing City. Is it just an ornament? Sudden news. The generals will not lose their color. Only the three of you are calm. I think it's already in my chest. This king is now in danger. What is your plan? Please give me some pointers."
Talking. Duan Mingyu dodged and left the handsome position. Give a long swipe to the trio. Then straighten up. looked at the three of them intently. That white face was full of anticipation.
Wang Yanzhang sat on the chair with a big knife and a golden knife. Duan Mingyu looked at a few people. The eyes of the three were blazing. Flashing with the light of infinite wisdom. That serene demeanor. It is like the Bodhisattva Guanyin who saves suffering. In a trance. Behind the heads of the three of them, there seemed to be a circle of soft Buddha light rippling.
Above. It was the feeling of Duan Mingyu when he looked at the three of them at the moment.
Actually. The so-called four flat and eight stable, big knife golden knife. In fact, Wang Yanzhang and the three of them were stunned. Sitting in a chair forgot to get up.
The so-called eyes are blazing. Flashing with the light of infinite wisdom. It's because Xia Xun's eyes are straight. I can't move my eyes at all.
And the serene expression of Avalokiteshvara ....... him. Dude just has sluggish features. Is it okay to be at a loss.
Li Cunxiao is still good at fighting. Tell him to rush to the front line. I'm really stunned at the moment. I only said in my heart: "I have a fart in my chest. Eldest brother. I'm not here because you've been a little strong from start to finish. You can't beat it no matter how you fight. That's why you're so calm? Why did you ask me for advice? How can I teach you a good way? I knew it would be like this. I was laughing at what I was. This big tail is filled with an eagle. You go and ask the fortune teller. You ask me. Who do I ask?"
"Cun Xiao. What do you think? But please speak up." Duan Mingyu encouraged softly.
"Lord Wang. Just spare me. I just don't think the soldiers are coming. The water comes to cover the earth. What's the best way to do it?"
Wang Yanzhang was also sweating profusely. Rajah. That's what I mean. The army of half a million is coming, and it is coming. I'm afraid of him. It's a big deal to kill him seven in and seven out. Twenty years later, he is still a good man."
Only Li Cunmiao slowly sorted out his thoughts. Said slowly: "Yanjing. It is an important foundation of the Khitan. There is no room for error. Otherwise, the foundation will be gone, and the spirit of the army will be lost. The defeat of the Khitan. It's inevitable."
Duan Mingyu nodded heavily. said: "Not bad. The question is here. Yanjing anyway. Jerodon must hold on. An army of 100,000 to defend the city is not something that can be taken in a moment. However, if the king besieges Yanjing. Defeat is only a matter of time......"
