Volume 2: The Journey Begins, the Battle of the Eastern Map Chapter 120 The Northwest is Connected, and the Eastern Map Invades
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Dongtu betrayed righteousness and rebelled against Yunlong; Yuan Kai, the lord of the country, commanded 100,000 troops; Invade the western border, mess with my borders; The northern dragon army advances, the west is turbulent, and the two generals are afraid of being defeated. He ordered the king of northern Xinjiang to immediately draw up a strategic strategy to quell the rebellion as soon as possible to reassure the people. In case of emergency, you can act cheaply, and there is no need to report it. The west is a big deal, the society is at stake, the door is not guaranteed, and the country is restless. ”
"Commander Han Huang."
After the forbidden army guards finished delivering the decree, they respectfully handed over the decree to the king of northern Xinjiang, and stood aside to wait for the king of northern Xinjiang's reply. He inadvertently glanced at Qingcheng beside the king of Northern Xinjiang, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he didn't know what he thought.
Dongtu really had an accident, and he actually claimed to be subordinate to Yunlong, and sent 100,000 troops to invade the western border of Daqi. This kind of war has not been fought for many years, so when the king of Northern Xinjiang heard it, he also had a sad face and could not calm down for a long time. Qingcheng, who also heard the holy decree, was also frowning at the moment, and his stomach was full of doubts.
After a while, the king of Northern Xinjiang sighed lightly, turned to look at the marching guards who came to deliver the edict, and said, "I didn't expect Li Yuankai to rebel, it's really ungrateful." You go back and tell Your Majesty that there are two generals guarding Xitui, even if Yunlong intervenes, it is difficult to win, and it will not be defeated quickly. The king will tidy up a little, and then leave for the palace in a few days, and then discuss with His Majesty. ”
"Whoa."
After the forbidden army left, the king of Northern Xinjiang was silent for a long time, sighed lightly, and sighed: "When the Dongtu civil strife was in the past, it was this king and Brother Feiyan who helped Li Yuankai return to China and ascend the throne. At that time, he was grateful for Daqi's kindness and vowed eternal loyalty, but he didn't think about it, and it was less than ten years before he reversed. Back then, he helped him to be the king and brother Feiyan, but now he is the king and Qingcheng you, it's really unpredictable. ”
Qingcheng stood aside, heard the voice of the king of northern Xinjiang, and couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Is the prince going to take the dragoon army to conquer the west?" ”
The king of Northern Xinjiang is the commander of the northern part of the Great Qi and is ordered to resist the cloud dragon. This Dongtu rebellion, although it was a 100,000-strong army, was huge, and it was also helped by clouds and dragons, and the enemy situation was unknown. However, there are still two major generals in the western border of Daqi, the Warring States Duke and the King of Anxi, and there are also 100,000 troops stationed, not to mention that the war has just started, and the war has not reached the emergency stage.
Moreover, the northern Yunlong is the most threatening enemy to the Great Qi, if the king of the northern frontier rashly marches westward. Falling for Yunlong's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, wouldn't the northern realm be even more dangerous? Qingcheng has a question.
Listening to his question, the king of Northern Xinjiang turned around and said, "Tell me what you think." ”
"Whoa."
Qingcheng knew that the king of Northern Xinjiang was testing him, so he didn't dare to slack off, and after a little analysis, he said: "The last general is foolish, Dongtu raised 100,000 troops, almost pouring the country's troops, although there is the support of Yunlong in the back, but only in the army, but not including grain and grass. If they can't take half of the western border in one fell swoop, and when our side comes back to their senses and resists with all their might, it won't be long before they will naturally have to retreat to the eastern map. ”
Qingcheng said, and the king of Northern Xinjiang listened and did not interrupt. Seeing him like this, Qingcheng pondered for a moment and continued: "Besides, there are still 100,000 troops in the western realm, and there are battle-hardened famous generals such as King Anxi, and the Warring States Duke who is known as the first general of my Great Qi, this kind of lineup is by no means the enemy of Dongtu. Although Yunlong intervened, the prince's dragoon army was their biggest rival, so in the humble opinion of the general, Yunlong would never be able to do his best, otherwise, before the war in the west was over, the dragoon army would be able to break through the gate of Tianjing. ”
Tianjing, the capital of Yunlong Kingdom. Qingcheng's analysis is not unreasonable, although the east map has changed, it is a good fighter to attack the Great Qi Xitu, but the Great Qi is not as easy to handle as a soft persimmon, and the West is even more garrisoned by the Warring States Prince, who is known as the first general of the Great Qi, even if the Yunlong Black Wolf King comes to the East Map in person, and wants to defeat the border defense of the Great Qi Xihui in one fell swoop, it is by no means a quick decision.
Once the war dragged on, the Yunlong side divided its troops and the garrison was insufficient, and the dragoon army of the king of the northern frontier would no longer be restrained, and would definitely attack Yunlong in one fell swoop. Exchanging the two and three states of the west for the entire territory of Yunlong is definitely a cost-effective deal.
In Qingcheng's opinion, Yunlong would not fail to understand this, so if they were not sure of winning with one blow, they would never be elite in and out. In this way, if the king of Northern Xinjiang ventured to send troops, the situation would not be conducive to Daqi. In the same way, once the dragoon army marches westward, Yunlong will no longer be constrained, and will not hesitate to break through the border defense in the north of Daqi.
Even, the military dispatch to the east may have been their suspicious plan, in order to lure away the king of Northern Xinjiang, the god of war, and use this to break the long-term confrontation between Daqi and Yunlong. After all, Yunlong is in the north of Daqi, and he detoured to the west to attack, which cost people and money, and was time-consuming and labor-intensive. Even if Dongtu helps, who can trust such a traitor? Therefore, attacking Daqi from the north is the only fighter for Yunlong.
Qingcheng said a word, and the king of Northern Xinjiang nodded with satisfaction, and said: "It is worthy of being the only son of Brother Feiyan, and his analysis of the battle situation and his grasp of the battle situation are really superior. Qingcheng, what you said is very right, but if these are all your analysis, it will make this king a little disappointed. ”
Hearing this, Qingcheng raised his eyebrows, and after a moment of silence, he smiled helplessly, and said, "The prince is really smart." That's right, what the last general said earlier is just a simple analysis of the battle situation, and there are indeed some doubts, and the last general has not thought it through. ”
"It's okay, it's just a matter of you and me today, if you have anything to say, let's discuss it again."
"Whoa."
Qingcheng responded, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly in silence, and he continued after a while: "The last general is foolish, this battle is quite strange. First, Li Yuankai and his person, the last general once heard his father mention that he should not be a treacherous person, and he was favored by my Daqi, and after a long time, both parties were also safe, and I thought that my Daqi had always been kind and powerful to the subject country, and all the subject countries were also in awe, so in the eyes of the last general, Dongtu did not seem to have a reason to oppose our Daqi. ”
"Yes", Qingcheng said, and the king of Northern Xinjiang sighed: "This king doesn't want to believe that Li Yuankai will really rebel." But Qingcheng, there is one thing that this king must remind you that there is no eternal covenant in the world, only eternal interests. Those in high positions will put the country first, so don't mix too many personal feelings in case of trouble, otherwise it will affect your judgment. ”
What the king of Northern Xinjiang said is not unreasonable, although Daqi and Dongtu are each well, and the former is even more benevolent to the latter, but after all, it is a matter of interests between countries, and Li Yuankai always puts Dongtu first. Therefore, if Yunlong did give attractive benefits, it was difficult to guarantee that Li Yuankai would not be moved.
Qingcheng carefully savored the words of the King of Northern Xinjiang, nodded lightly after a while, and said: "What the prince said is extremely true, but this is the second doubt of the last general." Yunlong and my Daqi have confronted each other for many years, and have not seen a win or loss, and as time goes by, my Daqi is getting stronger and stronger, and Yunlong is still invincible to me, and can offer tempting conditions such as peace, causing Dongtu to make a desperate bet? We all know very well that in this battle, if Yunlong and Dongtu are defeated, Yunlong will lose at most a chance to attack my Daqi, but Li Yuankai will lose the entire Dongtu. ”
That's true. As long as Yunlong helps them to defend their southern border and prevent Daqi from taking advantage of it, then no matter whether they win or lose, Yunlong will not hurt their muscles and bones, but Dongtu is completely different. With Emperor Hui's character and the strength of Daqi, if they lose this battle, what Dongtu loses will be the fate of the entire country.
Qingcheng's words were even more direct, and the king of Northern Xinjiang couldn't help but nod, and asked, "You shouldn't have finished speaking." ”
Indeed, there is the biggest doubt that makes Qingcheng puzzled, and just half a year ago, the same thing just happened.
"Lord Mingjian. The biggest strangeness of this battle, and it is also the most difficult place for the last general, is actually the same as the Zhenhai Hou. With only 100,000 troops in Dongtu, what kind of confidence do you have to dare to offend me? Not to mention the town armies in various places, the 100,000 troops in the west alone are enough to resist the eastern map. Besides, what kind of generals does Dongtu have? I put it in Xitui, but the two famous generals of the Warring States and the King of Anxi, the probability of victory is no more than 20%, but the price is the war of the country, what is Li Yuankai's plan, would he be so desperate? ”
The art of war: ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and the multiple is to divide it, the enemy can fight, if there is less, you can escape, and if not, you can avoid it. Therefore, the small enemy is strong, and the big enemy is also captured.
Dongtu invaded Daqi, but the army was only equal to the garrison in the west of Daqi, and there was no good general to win, such an unwise move, but to gamble with the country, it is really absurd. But if something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and the king of Northern Xinjiang also thought of this, so he was even more worried.
"Li Yuankai is not a mediocre person, and Dongtu will not gamble easily. And in the territory of Yunlong, if there is such a chess player, it must be the Black Wolf King. This person is even more talented in the world, and will never fight uncertain battles. This king has been with him for several years, and he has studied him quite well, so this king feels that this matter should not be so simple. Besides, Yunlong and I have been facing each other for several years, but we have not won or lost, and from the perspective of the art of war, continuing is nothing more than fighting for national strength and providence. But instead of hanging yourself from a tree, it's better to attack in a different direction and from a different angle, and maybe there will be some unexpected gains. ”
In the end, the king of Northern Xinjiang frowned, looked at Qingcheng, and continued: "The most important point is that you have also heard Your Majesty's will, and the sentence 'the two generals are afraid of being invincible', and the final advice seems to have a deep meaning. The Warring States public attack is invincible, the king of Anxi is old and steady, this king has always believed that if these two people treat each other sincerely, then the great Qi Xizhui is definitely the most unbreakable of the Quartet, the rock-solid portal. But it seems very unusual for His Majesty to have such worries as soon as the war began. In this way, the king cannot be lazy. ”
After listening to the words of the King of Northern Xinjiang, Qingcheng nodded as if he had understood. Seeing that he understood his hard work, the king of the northern frontier sighed lightly and said, "But Qingcheng, what you said is also right, the northern border is also very important, so the dragoon army cannot easily advance westward. Hey, Your Majesty should have planned for a long time, so he would give me the right to act cheaply, and according to the military system, this king can mobilize the world's town army, so this battle does not need the elite of the dragoon army to enter and exit. ”
Hearing this, Qingcheng raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively: "According to what the prince just said, is this battle going west?" ”
Hearing Qingcheng ask about this, the king of Northern Xinjiang smiled meaningfully and said, "If you have the opportunity to make a contribution, will you Duan Qingcheng not ask for his life?" This king once said that as long as you are dedicated to the country, this king will definitely give you the opportunity to display your ambitions. The stakes are so high in this battle, and since this king has decided to go, he naturally has to take the general of my dragoon army with him, so that he can feel at ease. ”
Hearing that he could go to the west to make a contribution, Qingcheng couldn't help but be excited for a while. After he calmed down for a moment, he asked again, "What about the northern border?" ”
"Just hand it over to Lao Jin (deputy marshal of the Dragoon), he is also an old marshal who can fight well, hand it over to him, this king can rest assured. On the western side, we will fight quickly, and on the northern side, as long as he can't hold on, he should be foolproof. ”
After saying that, the king of Northern Xinjiang pondered for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and opened his mouth to give orders.
"Order, General Duan Qingcheng will organize an army of 20,000 from now on, and march west in three days, and hold the king's order to Ningyuan City in the west to stand by. The king immediately set off, entered the capital to face the saint, and after His Majesty's permission was played, he ordered to go out from the palace and capital, and the soldiers went from the three realms to destroy the enemy in one fell swoop. ”
"The last general commands!"
