In the big tent of Ji Kang of the Liao army, the general Rong Yan was still preaching to Ji Kang and others: "Princes, ladies and gentlemen, judging from the deployment of the Ji army and the construction of many fortifications, its army will not fight with our army in the field, so the more than 50,000 cavalry of my western army cannot give full play to the advantage of rapid raids. ”

"If there are more than 60,000 cavalry in the east, we can send a partial division to give full play to the mobility of our cavalry, avoid the enemy's defense line of the Mazishui River to the east, and go around to the enemy's rear from Guyi and other places to cut off the enemy's rear road in the east."

"The enemy's western defense line, relying on hundreds of catapults of our army, these forts built by the enemy are nothing. But what is certain is that if it is attacked, it will be a bloody battle. ”

"According to General Liu Sheng's strategy, attacking these fortresses is to break through, and the enemy army will slowly retreat to the second line of defense and continue to fight with our army. Our army can defeat the enemy, but it cannot completely annihilate the enemy, and the war will drag on forever. In this way, it fell into the hands of the enemy army and formed a tug-of-war and a protracted war with our army. ”

"According to General Wang Shi's policy, our army will use the navy to directly attack the capital of the Ji country along the Nanba Water River, but there are many cities along the Nanba Water River, and our army will inevitably face the enemy's attack from the north and south in this military operation, and once there is a mistake, the consequences of our South Road army will be unimaginable."

Hearing this, Ji Kang looked at the two generals, Wang Shi and Liu Sheng, and found that the two also nodded frequently.

Ji Kang pondered for a while and said to Rong Yan: "General Rong Yan, since these two sets of strategies are flawed, what is the strategy that our army ultimately adopts?" And how do you do that? ”

Rong Yan turned around and bowed to Ji Kang and said, "Junhou, a certain general has also thought about it for a long time, although these two sets of strategies have flaws, they have merit. In order to win the battle as soon as possible and achieve the strategic goal of our Liao army. A certain general thought that one of these two sets of strategies could be taken as the overall strategy of our Liao army. ”

Ji Kang was stunned for a moment, and said to Rong Yi in surprise: "Oh, General Rong Yan, then you can come quickly!" ”

Rong Yan pointed to the map and said to everyone: "Prince, now the ability of our navy to raid behind the enemy's rear is not known to the enemy. If you follow General Wang Shi's suggestion, you plan to lead a large army of mine by boat and prepare to directly occupy the capital of Ji. The road is long and the risk is too great. ”

"In this way, the enemy will have enough time to withdraw from the front army. The final effect is no different from General Liu Sheng's strategy. However, our navy is able to raid the rear of the enemy's army, and this advantage of our army is real. ”

"The navy has already proved that it is only half a day's journey by boat from Fanhan to Huajinli, and with the merchant ships we have requisitioned, it can carry 40,000 of our army at a time, plus 15,000 officers and men of the navy, a total of more than 50,000 people, and it is possible to attack Shun'an and other places."

Speaking of this, Rong Yi looked at Ji Kang and the others, and clicked on the map, Pingcheng, east of Shun'an City, his tone couldn't help but increase, and he said slowly: "The most important thing is that according to our intelligence, the grain and grass base of the main force of the Western Ji Army is located in Pingcheng, north of the Ji capital. ”

When Ji Kang and the others heard Rong Yan say this, they were all surprised, and they focused their eyes on the place of Pingcheng and began to think about it.

Rong Yan continued: "According to General Wang Shi's policy, our army first transported soldiers from Fanhan, calculated the time, occupied Huajinli when it was dark, and then blockaded it, and then let the navy and requisitioned merchant ships return to Fanhan, and then carried more than 50,000 soldiers to Fanhan. ”

"So the army is 100,000. Such an army of 100,000, not to mention whether it can occupy Shun'an and other places, just appearing in the rear of the enemy army is enough for the army of the Kingdom of Ji to panic. ”

"If you can raid and occupy Shun'an, Pingcheng, and even Baiyuanli in the east. In this way, our army was completely cut off, the enemy army in front of it was connected with Keidu, and the main force of the enemy army in front of it was also cut off. ”

"Once it goes well, there will be no suspense in this battle, and the main force of the enemy will be surrounded by our Liao army in the area of Suchuan and Shunchuan, and the battle will end quickly. After that, the entire Ji country and the southern vassal states will no longer have the strength to resist our Liao army, and our Liao land will soon end the war and occupy the entire northern and southern territories of the Ji country. ”

"Our army on the western front must cooperate closely with the army going to the rear of the Kei country. At this time, it is possible to carry out a strong attack on the enemy's army. Whether or not the enemy army can be completely annihilated, a big victory is possible. This is the plan and strategic plan of a certain general, please Jun Hou Mingjian. ”

In the Tokugawa military conference hall, Gao Min finally said to the generals of the Mini country: "Generals, this battle is related to the life and death of our Mini country, and it is also related to the vital interests of everyone here. I hope that all the generals of our country will work together to block the Liao army from the outside, so as to achieve this big battle and the victory of our country. ”

"Anyone who neglects his duties, does not act in a good way in war, and does not obey orders shall be dealt with in strict accordance with military law. Everyone go down, get ready to go, and be sure to continue to strengthen the fortifications and cooperate with each other. ”

Many generals of the Ji Kingdom bowed down to Gao Min and said, "No." ”

After listening to Rong Yan's words, Ji Kang stood up, came to the map, looked at it for a long time, and turned to Lu Zhonglian, Wang Shi, and Liu Sheng: "Dean Lu, the two generals, what suggestions do you have for General Rong Yan's strategy?" ”

The old dean Lu Zhonglian stood up and said to everyone: "I don't know about the military affairs below, but in terms of strategy, this plan is very good!" ”

Admiral Wang Shi and Liu Sheng stood up together, bowed down and said to Ji Kang: "General Rong Yan has this policy, and we are in favor of it." ”

Ji Kang nodded, looked at everyone, clicked on the map, and said to Lu Zhonglian, Rong Yan and others: "Since this is the case, let's implement Rong Yan's strategic plan this time!" Wait and let Navy Colonel Li Min and Zhang Tian come as soon as possible. Then carefully consider this strategy, pay attention to all details, and never relax. ”

Lu Zhonglian, Rong Yan and others bowed down to Ji Kang and said, "No." ”

After the three generals Rong Yan, Wang Shi, and Liu Sheng left, Ji Kang said to Lu Zhonglian: "Sir, whether you can complete the annexation of the Ji Kingdom and complete the last piece of the puzzle in the Northeast region is related to the strategic ...... of the Central Plains in the future of our Liaodi."

Speaking of this, he paused, and said softly: "Everything depends on this battle!" ”

After listening to Ji Kang's words, Lu Zhonglian knew what Ji Kang was thinking, nodded his head, and said to Ji Kang: "Childe, this expedition to the Ji Kingdom is indeed related to the overall situation of my Liaodi in the future. But Childe doesn't have to worry, my Liao is well-equipped and weaponized, the generals have also been on the battlefield, and the soldiers are also well-trained, so this time I will be able to accomplish what Childe wants. ”

After listening to the words of the old dean Lu Zhonglian, Ji Kang looked out of the tent and faintly heard the assembly of the Liao army in the distance.

Just when the commanders of the two armies of Liaoji were planning their respective strategies on the front line, Yan Xiangsu in Jidu and in his study also met with the secret envoys sent by Zhao Guobao, Wang Rong, and Su Shu.

After reading the letter from Wu Yuan Ling and the other three people, Su Bei was overjoyed, put down the silk silk, and said to this secret envoy: "The three generals such as the leopard are ready to return to my Yan Kingdom, is this sincere?" ”

The secret envoy hurriedly bowed down and said: "Please rest assured, Lord Xiangguo, now King Zhao is ignoring the three generals such as the leopard." And regardless of the three generals, the contribution to the efforts of Zhao Guoguo has completely broken the hearts of the three generals. Therefore, the three generals of my family returned to the Yan Kingdom, which was sincere and hoped for the permission of the country. ”

After listening to the words of the secret envoy, Su Belly pondered for a moment, and then said to the secret envoy: "You will stay first, and then I will give you an answer after I have discussed with the prince." ”

"No."

Immediately, Su Belly went to Ji Palace by car, met Ji Kang's father, and reported the matter to the prince.

Ji Kang's father, when he heard this, frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said to Su Belly: "Su Xiang, now although Qin and Zhao Changping are in battle, Zhao Guo has been defeated. But the Zhao army stationed in Daijun and the border of my Yan and Zhao in the south is still very strong. If Yan Guo agrees to the submission of Wu Yuan Ling and the other three, will it cause disputes between the two countries, or even war? ”

Su Yu smiled and said to Ji Kang's father: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Zhao Guo has always been eyeing my Yan Kingdom. Occupy many cities in our Yan country, and still haven't returned them. No matter what, Zhao Guo always regarded my Yan Kingdom as something in his bag, and wanted to take it. ”

"If His Royal Highness said, now the national strength of Zhao has been greatly damaged after the Battle of Changping, and the national strength is empty. Now Wu Yuan ordered the leopard and the other three people to take the initiative to dedicate the city to my Yan country, and lead the army of 3,000 to submit to me, this is a great opportunity for my Yan country, not to be missed. ”

Speaking of this, Su Yu then said to Ji Kang's father: "Your Highness, it is Zhao Guo who asks, and my Yan Kingdom can also tell Zhao Guo, this is the private proposition of the three people who bind the leopard, what do I have to do with Yan Guo?" ”

After listening to Su Belly's words, Ji Kang's father nodded and said to Su Belly: "Xiangguo, since this is the case, you can operate this matter specifically!" Be sure to take care of it. ”

Seeing that the prince had agreed to this, Yan Xiangsu bowed down and said to the prince, "No." ”

Subsequently, he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and began to secretly negotiate with the envoy sent by Wuyuan Ling to bind the leopard, and began to secretly discuss the issue of plotting the return of the leopard, Wang Rong, Su Shu and the others.

And the original Qin Xianglou was slow, after seeing Qin Wang Yingji and Xiangguo Fan Sui. According to the instructions of King Qin, he was already on his way to Zhao. After preparing to Handan, let Zhao fulfill the peace agreement reached with Qin at the end of last year, and accept the six cities that Zhao promised to give to Qin.
