Qi Ning groaned slightly, and finally said, "Is there a map here?" ”

"Yes, wait a minute." Wei Shutong got up, personally went to get a map, spread it on the table, Qi Ning saw that this map was actually quite sketchy, the terrain in the territory of Chu was quite complete, but the border area of the Northern Han Dynasty was very vague, except for some extremely important city landforms, many mountains and rivers were actually ambiguous.

Qi Ning knew that it would not be easy to make a map, and the Chu State had always dreamed of being able to get the map of the Northern Han Dynasty but could not get it, and it was precisely because of this that the Chu State had always wanted to get the Universal Map from the Northern Han Dynasty Prince Yu.

"The main force of Eastern Qi is currently stationed in Puyang." Wei Shutong pointed to a place on the map: "This place is not too far from Maling Mountain, but Maling Mountain has been occupied by our army, and if the Qi army wants to return to Linzi, it must take Maling Mountain." ”

Qi Ning carried one hand behind his back, and found Dingtao on the map, Dingtao is located in the southwest of Puyang, in fact, it is not far from Puyang, and Maling Mountain and Puyang and Dingtao just became a triangle.

"The Han army has laid down heavy troops in Liang County." Wei Shutong said: "It is said that when our army went north, the Han army initially held the first line north of Huaishui to fight to the death, but then quickly withdrew its troops and retreated to the line of Dingtao. ”

Liang County is located in the northwest direction of Dingtao, but in the west of Puyang, from the map, Liang County and Puyang and Dingtao formed a triangle.

Qi Ning was quite surprised to see that the battle situation had fallen into such a complicated situation.

The strategic plan of the Chu army to go north actually has two purposes, the first purpose is naturally to lure out the main force of the Qi army, and the second purpose is to take advantage of the emptiness of the Qi country to surprise the army, and the main force is to contain the main force of the Han army and the Qi army, and buy time for the partial army to attack the Eastern Qi.

The civil strife in the Northern Han Dynasty, the Chu army went north, and the posture of fighting to the death with the Han army naturally made the Qi State mistakenly think that the real purpose of the Chu State was to take the opportunity to attack the Han Dynasty, and the two countries of Qi and Chu became in-law allies.

Eastern Qi is a corner of peace, the land is thin and sparsely populated, when the Northern Han Dynasty is in civil strife, it is the opportunity for the expansion that the Eastern Qi Dynasty dreams of, such an opportunity, the Eastern Qi people naturally cannot miss it, the Chu State has found out the minds of the Eastern Qi people, and has been planning for a long time, that is, to wait for the Eastern Qi people to take the opportunity to make trouble when they come out.

Qi Ning thought that in order to confuse the Eastern Qi people, the Chu army would inevitably attack the city to the north, but he would not do his best, but in the current situation, the progress of the Chu army was obviously much deeper than Qi Ning's expectations, and Dingtao had entered the hinterland of the Northern Han Dynasty.

"Zhong Liao did not base himself on the Huaishui front line and retreated to Liang County, is it because of Qu Yuangu in the northwest?" Qi Ning asked.

He got the battle report before, after the Chu army went north, although it crossed the Huaishui, but was blocked by the Han army on the whole line, Zhong Liao is a veteran of the battlefield, although the Northern Han court has undergone drastic changes, but Zhong Liao did not neglect the defense strategy of the front line because of the palace changes, and expected that the Chu army is likely to take the opportunity to go north, so the defense line was built north of Huaishui, and the war between the two sides was like the previous situation, and it fell into a stalemate again.

Qi Ning knew that if there was no accident, it would be difficult for the Qinhuai army commanded by Yue Huanshan to break through Zhong Liao's defensive line, and the Han army would retreat to Liang County after that, only because of Qu Yuangu.

Wei Shutong said: "Exactly, Qu Yuangu went out of Tongguan to attack Luoyang, and Zhong Liao's backyard caught fire, so naturally he couldn't continue to stalemate with our army, and quickly withdrew his troops, but ......!" Fingers slid to Luoyang: "After Tongguan was blocked, Qu Yuangu had no way to retreat, and there was not much progress in attacking Luoyang with all his might, if it weren't for Beitanghao's sudden assassination, Qu Yuangu's Northwest Army would probably be wiped out under Luoyang City." ”

"Beitang Hao was stabbed?" Qi Ning was taken aback, and Xuanyuan Po also changed color suddenly.

Wei Shutong nodded and said: "Exactly, Beitang Hao was assassinated, there was a big chaos in Luoyang City, some people saw that the situation was not good, and secretly contacted Qu Yuangu, it is said that Qu Yuangu bought the generals who guarded the gate, the city gate was opened, and the Northwest Army immediately rushed into Luoyang, but the Northwest Army did not loot in Luoyang City, but maintained order, but just killed Beitang Hao and a group of dead friends, and did not implicate too many people." In addition, the border army led by Beitang Zhao mutinied, Beitang Zhao was escorted to Luoyang by the soldiers under his command, Beitang Feng killed Beitang Zhao in the name of rebellion, and the battle for the throne of the Northern Han Dynasty was finally won by Beitang Feng. ”

Qi Ningwan did not expect such a result.

There is no doubt that the important reason for changing the situation in the Northern Han Dynasty was the assassination of Beitang Hao, asking: "Who was Bei Tanghao assassinated?" ”

Wei Shutong shook his head and said, "Xiaguan really doesn't know the specific truth of the matter. As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from outside: "My lord, there is an urgent report!" ”

Wei Shutong hurriedly got up and went out, and soon came back, holding a letter that had been opened in his hand, and presented the letter to Qi Ning: "Guogong, Beitangfeng has ascended the throne and become emperor, Qu Yuangu has been canonized as the Great Prime Minister, and the title of King of Jin has been awarded, Zhong Liao has been awarded the position of Great Sima, and the title of Duke of Anguo has been given. ”

Qi Ning glanced at the letter a few times and handed it to Xuanyuan Po.

Wei Shu is the same as the Xichuan assassin, and now that the Chu army is heading north, it is naturally impossible for him to turn a blind eye, and there are spies under his command to inquire about the information on the front line.

"Guogong, it seems that Zhong Liao and Beitangfeng have reached an agreement." Xuanyuan Po swept his eyes twice, and then said: "If the humble position is not wrong, Qu Yuangu attacked Luoyang, Zhong Liao could not supply logistics, so he could only withdraw the army, but after Beitangfeng took Luoyang, he knew that no one in the Northern Han Dynasty except Zhong Liao could stop my Chu army from advancing north, so he immediately reused Zhong Liao, added officials to the knighthood, and Zhong Liao had no worries about the future, so he led the troops to stabilize on the front line of Liang County." He guarded Liang County, and he guarded the necessary place to Luoyang, as long as Liang County was not lost, Luoyang could not be broken. ”

Wei Shutong bowed his head and said, "What Captain Xuanyuan said is very true. Zhong Liao has never participated in the competition for the throne, and for him, whoever ascends the throne has nothing to do with him. He is a battlefield general, what he has to do is to defend his country, since the overall situation of the throne of the Northern Han Dynasty has been decided, and Beitang Feng supports him, he naturally has no need to get along with Beitang Feng. He raised his hand and stroked his beard and said, "But the current result is not a bad thing for my Chu State." Among the princes of the Northern Han Dynasty, Beitang Feng's ability was the weakest, and Qu Yuangu was a mediocre and incompetent person, and it was not a good thing for the Northern Han Dynasty that these two people mastered the government of the Northern Han Dynasty. ”

"Now that our Chu army is in the front, the Northern Han Dynasty needs to rely on Zhong Liao to stop our army." Qi Ning said: "However, Zhong Liao is not a close confidant of Beitang Feng, he has heavy troops, Beitang Feng will never rest assured, since Qu Yuangu is the Great Sima and controls the power of the Northern Han Dynasty soldiers and horses, of course, he will not always let Zhong Liao hold heavy troops." ”

Wei Shutong smiled and said: "What Guogong said is very true. At present, Beitangfeng wants to use Zhong Liao, so he will naturally be added to the knighthood, and even named him a duke, when Beitangqing crisscrossed the territory, and General Qi will meet Liangcai, it can be said that it is the pillar of the Northern Han Dynasty, but it is only named the Marquis of Changling, although Zhong Liao is also a general, but it is far from the strength of Beitangqing, and he was actually named a duke, which is really ridiculous. He smiled and said: "Xia Guan can assert that if the predicament of the Northern Han Dynasty is solved, the first thing Beitangfeng will have to deal with is Zhong Liao, and Zhong Liao will never end well." ”

"That's for later." Qi Ning frowned and said: "Right now, Huaishui is blocked by the Eastern Qi Water Division, blocking the logistics supply of the Qinhuai Legion, how long can the Qinhuai Legion support it?" Raising his hand and touching his chin: "I'm only worried that the Eastern Qi will make peace with the Northern Han Dynasty, and when the time comes, the Qi army will go out of Puyang and join forces with Zhong Liao to attack our army." ”

Wei Shutong said: "Since the imperial court knows about such a situation, the emperor will naturally be able to come up with a perfect strategy." Although Xin Ci's East China Sea division was defeated, but it still retained part of its strength, I heard that Xin Ci retreated to the East China Sea, and the imperial court also ordered to step up the construction of warships......! ”

"Building a warship cannot be completed overnight, and it is not possible to train an elite naval army in a short time." Qi Ning sighed: "The East China Sea Division has suffered heavy losses, and it is simply not able to pose a threat to the East Qi Sea Division in a short period of time. ”

"Don't worry too much." Wei Shutong said: "Although the logistics of the Qinhuai Army have been cut off, our army has now controlled the three counties of the Northern Han Dynasty, and the requisition of grain and straw on the spot can also support it for a period of time, but the Eastern Qi Water Division can only swim in the water, their logistics is the real big problem, without the logistics supply, they can't support it for long, now it depends on who on both sides can last longer." ”

Xuanyuan Po groaned slightly, and then said: "Our army will collect grain on the spot, I'm afraid..... It will cause civil unrest. ”

Qi Ning also bowed slightly, knowing that the nearly 100,000 troops of the Qinhuai Legion had no logistics, so they could only requisition grain and grass locally, but how could the local people give up their grain and grass, and it was inevitable that there would be forced requisition of grain, so it would naturally cause greater hostility among the local people, and thus provoke turmoil among the local people, which was also unavoidable.

"Is it possible to requisition grain and grass from Qi to supply Dingtao?" Qi Ning thought for a while and asked, "If you can raise grain and grass from the Qi country, it doesn't matter if the Eastern Qi Water Division blocks Huaishui. ”

Wei Shutong said: "If Duan Shao is dead, Guogong's method is naturally excellent. But Duan Shao is still alive now, and Qi knows everywhere that their prince has escaped death, so they will not give in so easily. It is natural to let the soldiers and horses stationed in Qi collect grain, but it is not easy to transport it from Qi to Dingtao, and those bandits in Qi will inevitably intercept along the way, and the troops stationed in Eastern Qi are weak, and they must not divide troops to protect grain at present, so .....! ”

Qi Ning bowed slightly, naturally knowing that what Wei Shutong said was true.

Although Linzi is broken, but the state of Qi is not equal to the extinction, in a short period of time, the state of Chu can not completely control the Eastern Qi, even if the grain is forcibly collected, but to transport it from the state of Qi to Dingtao, the mountain is high and the road is far away, the grain team is bound to be intercepted on the way, and it is not easy to send the grain and grass over smoothly.
