In fact, Cai Ning led the army north overnight, and he did not have a specific strategic intention in mind; It's not that he deliberately supports it, nor is it that he was carried away by the "fisherman's profit" of the mirror, but since the completion of the strategic encirclement, the radius of the place where the Worry Relief Army is stationed is fifty miles, which can be said to be unable to penetrate with needles and splashed with water!

In fact, in his Zhongzhou army, there were also spies lent by Wang Zuocheng to Chiwu; But these people trained by the four princes are nothing compared to the three thousand seniors who listened to the truth! As long as the spies of their own red black are scattered to the north, don't expect to have a living mouth!

Over time, Cai Ning's eyes lost their role and became the most ordinary messenger and herald; And under such a gap in strength, even if Chiwu and his own sentinels can find out some news, Cai Ning will not dare to accept it at all!

In terms of war intelligence, the magic of blinding and smoke bombs, Shen Gui has used the bloody example of the East Customs to vividly display it in front of the soldiers of Huayu!

Without the assistance of sufficiently accurate intelligence, Cai Ning didn't know if his slightly clumsy discordant plan could produce results; I am not sure whether the Northwest Army's request for surrender to the imperial court is simply a counter-plot instructed by Pang Qingshan; He didn't even know how he would describe the person he had deliberately let go, and how the Northwest Army would feel......

So this time he led the army north, he didn't have any bottom in his heart; It's just that with the mentality of having dates and not hitting a rod, I will test the possibility of taking chestnuts from the fire. There is no need for others to persuade him, Cai Ning has already set a rule for himself in his heart:

As long as there is a little wind and grass, the whole army will immediately withdraw to Chaoge and honestly stick to the north bank of the Yu River.

The 30,000 Zhongzhou troops under his command had already poured out, and at this time they were less than fifty miles away from Handan City, the original garrison of the Northwest Army.

The military situation is like fire and fleeting. When Cai Ning heard the herald's reply, his mind spun rapidly, and he quickly made a decision:

"The rear army and the baggage battalion entered the city to take over the city defense and pacify the people; The pioneer battalion and the officers and men of the Chinese army, and the battalions left behind by the Northwest Army, took a short rest; The leader of the gang buried the pot and cooked for the brethren for half an hour; The brethren of the sentry battalion had to work harder, and let them divide them into two rounds and work in groups of several people to expand the search area to the north and probe the enemy's movements in the direction of Xingzhou as much as possible. Remember to tell the brethren that the spies are vicious, and that you must not be unscrupulous, because the more people, the safer! ”

"The last general obeys!"

Half an hour later, Cai Ning was sitting on the stone meditating, and his mouth was still numbly gnawing on a piece of dry cake; I heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and saw the sentry riding back on a flying horse, and shouted frantically with surprise on his face:

"General, the fight has begun! They fought! ”

Seeing his ecstatic appearance, Cai Ning raised his hand and threw the water bladder on the ground:

"Drink your saliva first, speak slowly! Who fought with whom? ”

"Gollum...... Call! It's the Northwest Army! They have arrived at the city of Xingzhou, and they are busy destroying the forest! Because he was afraid that his identity would be exposed, the villain didn't dare to get too close, but he still saw a new camp base from a distance! It seems that he is planning to clear the wilderness and spend it with the worry-relieving army! And on the side of Xingzhou City, the four city gates are also closed, the drawbridge is also put away, the city wall is heavily guarded, and there are many swords and guns, no matter how detailed it is, it is impossible to see clearly. When I came back, I deliberately took a long detour and saw that the large camp twenty miles west of the city of the Relief Army had also begun to put on armor and prepare for war! ”

When Cai Ning heard this, he knew that his "plan to lead the water to the east" was an unprecedented success, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed! He kept patting the other person's shoulder, and he tore off a large piece of bread in his mouth and chewed it excitedly. However, before Cai Ning could swallow the food in his mouth, his expression suddenly looked a little worried......

I wanted to go into the mountains to hunt a hare, but who knew that I caught up with a tiger! The tiger is full of treasures, which is certainly worth rejoicing, but does he Pang Qingshan really have the ability to "fight the tiger"?

The size of the army is not large, but there are as many as 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers, and the armor and blades are all first-class goods in the world; Although the Northwest Army is a headless snake and a plate of scattered sand; But the number is still at least about 70,000 to 80,000; After the war, the men and horses on both sides were strangled together, and the scale was as many as 100,000; And this little recruit in his hand, even if he sprinkles it, I am afraid that he will not be able to make much waves, let alone "take the chestnut from the fire and enjoy it"......

"Hmm...... If I ask you to go to Ludong and go to Lord Xiang to move troops, how long will it take? ”

The sentry commander tilted his head and thought for a while, then replied with a wry smile:

"There's enough time, but the villain can't get out at all......"

"Can't get out? What does that mean? ”

"I just ran down all the way, and I took five brothers to Xingzhou to spy on the military situation. But look at it now, I'm back alone. The four died outside, the only old man who still had a breath, his right waist was also cut by a shuttle dart, and the wound was like a "child's mouth", and it was not certain whether he could be saved......

When Cai Ning heard this, his expression instantly dimmed; Since the spies were not negligent and even opened a "bird net", they should not let the brothers die in vain.

Since Xiang Qing's team has no hope, I am afraid that in this battle, there will be no possibility of opportunism and small profits. After thinking about it, fortunately, Pang Qingshan and the Northwest Army still "didn't know" that they had occupied Handan City, which was probably the only place for them to take advantage of.

For the current Cai Ning, it is nothing more than to always pay attention to the development of the war situation in Xingzhou; When the main forces of both sides are exhausted and difficult to separate, he will lead 30,000 Zhongzhou troops to join the battlefield, and whoever loses will help whom, and take the opportunity to expand the casualties on both sides.

Even until now, no one has thought of the three parties, the Northern Yan Army, the Northwest Army, and the Worry Relief Army. The last battle of Huayu Continent will be quietly opened under such extremely accidental circumstances......

In fact, as early as when Shen Gui and Emperor Tianyou joined forces to lay out, there was a fierce dispute over the way to end this big melee.

Zhou Yuanqing believes that in the end of the battle, his side must slaughter every Nankang person in the territory of Beiyan at all costs! He wants to fight a war to fight these Nankang people, so that every time they think of this war, they will not sleep at night and break their liver and intestines.

It's just that Zhou Yuanqing, who has annihilated all the Nankang army and has never been on the battlefield, is of course easy to open his mouth. But Shen Gui knew that the Relief Army was not the Northern Army, and Pang Qingshan was not Guo Xing; Jizhou Road is not the East Customs; And if you want to annihilate the Nankang army, it may be tactically feasible, but it will definitely pay an extremely heavy price.

Population is always the most simple and direct wealth.

In Shen Gui's view, with this kind of tragic victory of "injuring a thousand enemies and losing 800 self", it is simply not worth the loss to scare those "small merchants and hawkers" in Nankang. Because looking at the entire Nankang Dynasty, from the senior officials of the Council of Elders and the Council of the Fa; The civilian coolies, peddlers and pawns who went to the market, their eyes were only fixed on the silver.

In the face of sufficient interests, there can be no hatred, and you can forget the pain!

All the time, the people of Nankang saw this "gluttonous feast", and finally it was beaten into a "sandwich rice", and Jiankang City was bound to quarrel into a pot of hot porridge!

Until now, it seems that Shen Gui has indeed calculated the context of Nankang! If it weren't even for those big chaebols, blinded by greed, and didn't want all their previous investments to be wasted; I'm afraid that Pang Qingshan and the worry-relieving army under his command don't have to cross the river at all.

Timely stop loss is also a profound knowledge in the business field!

At present, the people of Nankang are desperately trying to exhaust their national strength and spend money on the earth, turning the Huayu Continent upside down; Although the "native" did not suffer from the war; But in terms of actual effect, the blow that this war brought to the Nankang court was far more than others imagined.

The job of a merchant is to trade goods between the two places and make a profit. But now because of the war and the Huayu Continent, how can there be goods for them to buy low and sell high, hoard and dump? As for the "foreign goods, luxury goods" and so on that come by sea merchant ships and across the sea, there is no market for them in today's chaotic world.

It can be said that this Huayu war has dealt a fatal blow to the economy of Nankang, which is already like a "hanging garden".

Moreover, according to the laws of Nankang, the amount of bereavement for the fallen soldiers on the front line is so high that it is smacking! can be compared to the pension of the fallen soldiers of Beiyan...... Worship the "good deeds" of the people in the Cai Party over the years, and it is good to hear the word "bereavement".

There is a saying that "seeing the subtleties knows what you know", and the cost of licking the wounds of the two sides after the war is also completely different.

The characters of the reckless and small people in the market are mostly "can endure hardships together, but cannot be rich and noble"; The character of the small traders and hawkers is just the opposite: most of them "can be rich and rich, but they cannot suffer hardships together". Over the years, the people of Beiyan have long been accustomed to a life of poverty, and although the post-war reconstruction is painful, it is also within the scope of endurance......

However, Nankang has a warm and pleasant climate, and in recent years, the wind and rain have been smooth, the economy has been prosperous, and the life of the people can be called rich and quiet...... Once the business closes in large quantities, or the silver account cannot be exchanged for silver, if there is no "moth" to come, then it is a ghost!

To put it simply, the lives of the people of Beiyan are "worthless", and the court is surrounded by four walls; There is nothing to be sorry for being pushed back by a battle...... But Nankang, a "splendid mansion", the "maintenance cost" alone is enough to completely drag them down!

Small boats are afraid of wind and waves, and large ships are difficult to turn.

Therefore, Shen Gui once entrusted Lao Lu to catch his head and brought Emperor Tianyou a word "wait". If this word is placed on the battlefield, it will slowly consume Pang Qingshan's department. Now their back road has been completely cut off, and after the grain and grass are eaten, they can only starve to death, and they can only be captured; Or maybe the Nankang Imperial Court couldn't pay such a large amount of pension, so it could only try to exchange for these tens of thousands of worries through peace talks between the two sides......

All the time, how big the lion's mouth should open, isn't it all up to Emperor Tianyou?
