That's why Master Xiao mentioned the tactics of the Rong army when he talked about the situation in Qi State, and I was able to come to this conclusion.

Lord Xiao knows that in the hundreds of years of my Qin State, I have only trained one Xuanjia cavalry, and the number of people is less than 20,000, but it has been lost in all previous wars.

Such a strong army not only costs a lot of money, but also is extremely difficult to train, so it is no wonder that the Rong people would put them to attack the Qi state alone after capturing the Qin state.

It's just that what makes me a little strange is where did this Rong people get the money to build and feed such an elite. ”

After Lu Lihua finished speaking, Mi Chunxi and other generals who thought that they would fight against the Rong people in the future immediately fell into deep thought, while Xiao Wenkao and Tian Dong and these ministers seemed to show a sudden realization.

Xiao Wenkao hurriedly said: "I'll just say, the Qin people and the Rong people fought for five years before they occupied the entire territory of the Qin State. Why did only 20,000 soldiers take half of the rivers and mountains of our Qi country in less than a year, it turned out that their elite came. Didn't General Fang Li also say that the combat power of these 20,000 Rong troops was comparable to that of 100,000 ordinary Rong troops.

From this point of view, the key to this decisive victory is to defeat these 20,000 elites. ”

After Xiao Wenkao made a determined expression and said, no one in the cabinet echoed his remarks.

Even Tian Tong showed a slightly embarrassed look on his face.

Because Gu Daoyuan said it clearly, the 200,000 army of Qi occupied Xijing of Qin, and in less than a year, it was defeated by the Rong army, and it was lost in stealing chickens but losing rice.

You must know that those Rong people are not elite.

So in the final analysis, the reason is that the combat power of the Qi army is too weak, and it has something to do with whether it is elite or not.

It is very likely that Fang Cai Lihua just wanted to comfort Xiao Wenkao, but he didn't expect Xiao Wenkao to seem to have grasped a life-saving straw.

Such a clumsy performance made everyone contempt for Xiao Wenkao.

However, this time the silence only lasted for a few breaths before it was broken by an old man's voice.

It turned out that Liu Zhiguo, the prime minister of Shu, saw that Zhao Zhihai and Xiao Wenkao had finished telling their country about the predicament they were in, and they also stood up and told everyone in the cabinet about the current situation in Shu.

This Liu Zhi is a veteran of the three dynasties of Shu State, although he is over the age of Ershun at this time, he is also radiant and looks quite energetic.

Moreover, compared with Qin and Qi, the situation in Shu is much better. Therefore, Liu Zhizhi talked about his own situation, and he was full of anger, as if Shu was already impregnable.

In fact, Liu Zhi was reluctant for the people of Chu to enter Shu.

The State of Chu and the State of Shu have always been in constant disputes around Jing County and other places around the Luoying Mountain Range, and they have been fighting intermittently for a hundred years, so how could Liu Zhi be willing to let the people of Chu enter the hinterland of Shu without spending a single soldier. And he is afraid that it will be easy to invite God and it will be difficult to send God, and he will regenerate endless right and wrong in the future.

The more important reason is that the geomorphological characteristics of this Shu State are quite similar to the Hedong County guarded by Lihua. The country is surrounded by impassable moats, and there are countless mountain ranges of different sizes in the country, so the Shu people who are good at mountain warfare are not too afraid of the Rong army who are good at galloping and fighting immediately.

Moreover, the terrain of Shu is in a safe corner, and the domestic economy is only better than that of Qin at the beginning, so it has never been a dangerous place that soldiers must occupy, which makes the people of Shu think that their country is unlikely to attract Rong people to attack, and it also makes Liu Zhi instinctive

There is an innate optimism.

Although Liu Zhi bet on the fourth princess of Mi during the civil strife in Chu, which made the two countries of Shu and Chu enter a rare honeymoon period, the scheming Liu Zhi will not give up his bottom line.

That's why he spoke in a firm tone, making people obviously feel that he Shu was capable of defending his country.

After Liu Zhi finished speaking, Mi Chunxi smiled slightly.

After dealing with each other for a long time, how could she not be clear about Lao Liuzhi's intentions.

Seeing that all the countries had already told the situation in their own countries, Mi Chunxi got up again and said to everyone in the cabinet: "Since all the adults have made the situation of each country clear, let's start to discuss how to resist the enemy."

Lord Zhao, General Yuli, the two adults have been fighting against Rong Di all these years, and in terms of experience, I am afraid that no one in this pavilion will be more familiar with the tactics of the Rong people than the two.

So Chunxi still wants to listen to the opinions of the two of you, I don't know if Lord Zhao and General Yuli can give advice. ”

Zhao Zhihai saw that Mi Chunxi had shifted the topic back to himself, and he smiled slightly bitterly and said to Mi Chunxi: "Zhao is a general of the defeated army, how can he talk about any experience."

I have already told the situation of the Rong people, so judging from the current situation, if we don't make changes and continue to work in our own ways, I'm afraid there will be no way to defeat the Rong people. ”

"What?"

"Why does Lord Zhao grow up with other people's ambition to destroy his own prestige?"

"Lord Zhao, even if the Chu army goes north, can't they defeat the Rong people?"

"Lord Zhao's words are too alarmist."

Zhao Zhihai listened helplessly to the questions of everyone in the pavilion about him, knowing that his words had caused others to be dissatisfied.

But he really couldn't think of any good way to break the enemy in the current situation, so he just shook his head with a wry smile and said:

"If it's on paper, the old man has 10,000 ways to break the enemy, but when the old man has fought for so many years, he is really helpless to defeat the Rong people.

At present, the Rong army that has been drawn into the pass one after another, plus the soldiers recruited in various counties of the Qin State, the number of the Rong army is probably no less than 400,000.

Among them, the number of elite Rong warriors is about 100,000, and the number of elite Qin army Kunpeng is about 80,000, plus some other newly recruited soldiers of the Qin State and the former Qin soldiers who have joined the Rong army, their combat effectiveness now far exceeds the combat power of our Qin State when it was at its peak.

So it is precisely because the old man knows himself and his opponent that he understands the erosion of the situation.

.....”

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhihai stopped his words and did not say what he originally wanted to say, "How difficult it is to defeat them." "Say things like that.

Because he is afraid that his pessimistic attitude will affect the judgment of the next people.

In fact, since he broke through from the middle of summer, he has always been thinking about how to break the enemy, but until this time, he has not thought of any clues.

But he also knows the truth that the back waves of the river push the front waves, so he has the only trace of confidence.

However, even though he didn't come to a conclusion, the listeners in the pavilion understood what Zhao Zhihai wanted to express, so everyone frowned for a while.

"The old man is indeed helpless, but General Yuli has been fighting with the Rong army for several years and has never been defeated, perhaps he has some experience.

What's more, the old man had heard of Princess Mi and Lu

The next three heroes are all rare handsome talents in the world, and the Rakshasa Iron Army is not in vain. So you don't have to be too pessimistic because of the old man's words. ”

After Zhao Zhihai finished speaking, he glanced at Zhu Lihua beside him with a hint of expectation in his expression, and saw that Zhu Lihua hurriedly straightened his waist, and said in a solemn tone: "What Lord Zhao said, Zhu Lihua completely agrees." Although the Rong people are invaded by foreign races, they know the way to win people's hearts, so the current anti-Rong situation is not optimistic.

Originally, if we only needed to defeat or kill a large number of those people who entered the Rong from the east, we might be able to drive them out of the pass, but now they have the support of the people, even if they kill all those Rong people, but the new people will snowball more and more.

Therefore, the only way to break the Rong at present is to take a thunderous blow and annihilate all the main forces of the Rong army, and never give them a chance to breathe.

But this method is easier said than done. Not to mention that we are still fighting separately like a plate of scattered sand, even if the armies of our three countries are all united, our combat effectiveness will not necessarily be much higher than that of the Rong people. So how can we talk about being able to give the Rong people a thunderous blow.

In my opinion, it is too early to talk about defeating the Jungs. And the most important thing at the moment is how to resist the attack of the Zhurong army.

At present, the Shangdang fortress is garrisoned by Wei Yuanqi, a general under my command, under the command of 30,000 troops. There are two generals, Wei Mu and Xu Xiaoyang, who led 20,000 troops to guard the eight roads of heaven and water. Both places are blessed by the moats, so it is not easy for the Rong army to attack.

It's just that the only difficulty is the Huangyin Fortress, which is located in the Xieyu Passage, sandwiched between the two mountains, and the garrison is all based on hard work. But the number of our army, counting the 40,000 Qi troops in Jiangcheng, is only 70,000, including the newly recruited people.

For more than half a year, the war in Huangyin has continued, and our army is struggling to support the army in the face of several times.

Not long ago, the Rong army gathered nearly 200,000 troops to eye, preparing to take Huangyin in one fell swoop, open up the Yellow Water Channel, and attack Qi Tokyo with the northern Rong army of Qi.

Therefore, at this time, it is urgent to resist the Rong army in Huangyin. ”

Zhu Lihua was talking about this, but suddenly saw Xiao Wenkao, who had not spoken for a long time, stand up again, as if he noticed that Zhu Lihua had successfully shifted everyone's attention to the Huangyin line, so he was ready to open his mouth to refute in a hurry.

But as soon as he stood up, he saw that Zhu Lihua shook his head slightly at him, and said with a solemn face: "Lord Xiao, don't worry, Zhu Li's words have not been finished yet." ”

Xiao Wenkao opened his mouth wide and was about to speak, but suddenly heard words such as Zhu Lihua telling him not to be anxious. For a while, he said no, he didn't say no, and he suddenly stood in place and didn't know what to do.

How could Lihua not know the reason for Xiao Wenkao's urgency, he immediately spoke: "Isn't it discussing how to resist the enemy today." There's an idea in the room that might be able to get you to take a closer look.

That is, to send 100,000 troops to rescue my Huangyin and resist the eastward advance of the main force of the Rong army.

The remaining 400,000 soldiers and horses went to Huangshui to join the Qi army.

The garrison of Qi is different from Huangyin, and Huangyin can be fully successful in one fell swoop if it is defended a little. However, the defense of the Yellow Water stretches for hundreds of miles, so it is impossible to defend it at all, and the only way to defend the Yellow Water is to attack and defend.

Therefore, after the Chu army arrived in Huangshui, it should immediately divide its troops with the Qi army and go north for at least ten routes to recover the lost territory in northern Qi.

In this process, you need to remember to take every step of the way, and you must not be alone in the depths and be broken by the cavalry.
