Yin Wei said with a smile: "The king is far-sighted, and his subordinates admire him so much. If you want to conquer Xinping City, you must need the king's headquarters brothers to fight for their lives, but in this way, the loss of the core troops is inevitable. Therefore, the subordinates suggested that the siege be temporarily withdrawn and other cities in Lingbei should be plundered. Moreover, aren't Feng and Gou Fu pretentious? Isn't it self-professing loyalty? They defend the city well, but as long as they dare to go out of the city to fight, we can set up an ambush to annihilate it, and at that time, isn't Xinping City self-defeating? ”

Yao Chang smiled and waved his hand: "Yin Sima, your plan is good, but you ignore one point, what Xing'er said is good, that is, this person wants to go, if we really withdraw from the siege, then the situation may also become very dangerous." ”

Yin Wei's face changed: "Please teach the king!" ”

Yao Chang's eyes flashed, his green eyes stared at the city of Xinping, and he said slowly: "Gou Fu and Feng Jie are not fools, it's not that they don't know the current battle situation in Guanzhong, they don't expect Fu Jian to send troops to help at this time, but what they are counting on is the strength of other cities in Lingbiao." Although many of these guys have now submitted to us, they are only obedient to the tune and do not listen to the announcement, and they are only nominally subordinate, and if they see that our army can't even do anything about it, they will inevitably have different intentions. ”

"Now although our army has more than 100,000 troops attached, but most of them are nomadic Qiang people, Xiongnu tribes, not these Han people are strong, although our army is not short of food and grass in the short term, but these returning Qiang people, the Huns are predatory, if they win the battle, it is good to say, you can let them rob, they can not win the battle, they can't grab things, then after a long time, they will be resentful, if the horses are separated, then it will be troublesome."

Yin Wei smiled: "So, the king wants them to go around and rob other Han cities that are watching?" ”

Yao Chang nodded with satisfaction, touched his goatee, and said with a smile: "That's right." Now Anding County, as well as the clan general of the Qin State, Fu Lin, is in charge, and many Lingbiaozhou County, who are nominally subordinate to us, are secretly communicating with him, they are all looking at the success or failure of the Battle of Xinping, if our army cannot overcome the strong attack and the sharp spirit is frustrated, they will take the opportunity to lead the people to attack, and at that time, our army will be extremely disadvantageous if the enemy is on its back. Therefore, this Xinping City, you can't attack it, and you can't withdraw the siege, Yin Sima, you lead 30,000 soldiers and horses, as well as the families, children, and livestock of each army, just stay here, besiege it for a long time, and when necessary, you can put a passage and let them escape. ”

Yin Weiqi said: "Why does the king want to leave his subordinates here? Aren't you afraid that the army you bring will be unstable? ”

Yao Chang's eyes flashed: "I want to take 50,000 horses out to attack Anding, on the way to rob the mountains and counties, these Han people are strong, if they are interested, they will take the initiative to open the city to donate food and money, and then hand over Ding Zhuang and the children of the nobles in the city as hostages, so that they have no military food and Ding Zhuang, and there are hostages in my hands, and I can't fight back, and our Qiang army has benefited, and naturally the army is stable." If a city dares to disobey and rebel against the city, it can take the opportunity to destroy it, and save us from staying here for external trouble. The cities of Lingbiao, except for Xinping City, are not strong, with the power of one city, when I have an army of 50,000, such as hitting a stone with an egg. ”

Yao Xing said with a smile: "Father is really smart, but aren't you afraid that Fu Lin will gather soldiers and horses from various cities to fight a decisive battle with you?" ”

Yao Chang sneered: "Fu Lin is just a straw bale waste, if he really had this ability, he would have gathered a large army to save Xinping, and now he doesn't come, which means that either he is not courageous, or the Han people in various states and counties dare not stand on his side, I just need to march all the way, and it is easy to take stability." However, we must also guard against these Qiang and Huns, who will flee with the money after robbing the benefits, so I need to leave their families, tribes, cattle and sheep outside Xinping City, Yin Sima, you have to watch them carefully, don't let them escape, let alone let them be hurt, understand? ”

Yin Wei said with a smile: "The king's clever calculation, your miracle in Sanyuan City last time has long made the Qiang soldiers believe that you are the incarnation of the White Horse Heavenly God, follow you, and you will be invincible!" ”

Yao Chang smiled "hehe", revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: "The great god of jumping can only be blinded for a while, if you can't always give people benefits and win all the time, then this lie will naturally not be sustainable." So, since we can't win quickly here, we'll have to find another way to win elsewhere. Yin Sima, the 30,000 horses I left you have and 10,000 Tiefu cavalry, you don't have to attack the city, but if the Xinping army breaks through the city, let the Tiefu cavalry counterattack, without the protection of the city wall, on the plain, the Tiefu cavalry can still take a lot of advantage. Remember, clean up the battlefield after the war, give all the spoils to these Tiefu Huns, and don't keep them for yourself. ”

Yao Xing was surprised: "Father, why is this? They are all outsiders, even if they have military exploits, they can't give them all. ”

Yao Chang sneered: "Just because they are outsiders, so they have to give more benefits, they are willing to stay, and secretly tell our own Qiang people, after the city is defeated, everything in the city belongs to them, and the field battle makes the Tiefu cavalry desperate, and the things will be given to them, and after I attack the cities of Lingbiao, the benefits will also be transported over and divided among them, so that they don't worry, as long as they win Xinping, everyone will be rich together!" ”

Yin Wei laughed: "The subordinates must act according to the king's strategy, and here I wish the king a victory and the unification of Lingbei." ”

Yao Xing hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "Father, although Liu Weichen sent 10,000 cavalry to help the battle this time, he himself refused to come, in case these guys have evil intentions, they should cooperate with the outside and take advantage of your expedition to settle down, sneak attack our Beidi County, what should we do?" ”

Yao Chang nodded: "This is what I want to explain to you next, although Liu Weichen has formed an alliance with us, this guy will never be loyal at all, but he is a well-known traitor, so you go back to Beidi County now and defend the city with 10,000 elite soldiers, I have already bought a lot of eyeliner in the Hetao grassland, Liu Weichen's every move is under my control, you get in touch with these people, pay attention to Liu Weichen's movements every day, remember, every day arrange military envoys to enter the Beidi county from the west gate with great fanfare, just say that they have conquered such and such a city, The army was stationed outside the city, set up an empty camp of 30,000 people, quietly moved the camp every night, and went out of the camp for training during the day the next day. ”
