Trekking to the verandah of the main hall, two forbidden soldiers outside the main gate with hooks and sickles blocking the way, it happened that Ye Xin was guarding the outer hall with other generals, a one-meter square Bingjian, sitting on the central ground, which was in stark contrast to the treatment of many civil officials waiting outside the hall while standing and talking.

"The Grand Duke, the Grand Duke!"

Bai Liyan shouted, and the forbidden army immediately scolded:

"Military aircraft are heavy, and no noise is allowed."

When Ye Xin heard the news and saw that it was Bai Liyan, he immediately said:

"Let General Wei come in!"

"No!"

The forbidden army retreated, and Bailiyan was able to enter.

"Wei Xian, see the Metropolitan Governor."

"General Wei is exempt. Ye was about to send someone to look for you, but General Wei came by himself. ”

"Was it summoned by the king?"

"The king sympathizes with General Wei's fierce battle and hard work all day and night, so he asks Ye to pass you on later. Since he came, Ye immediately went to Tongyu. ”

"Then there will be the Governor of Lao."

After a while, Ye Xin brought news from the inner sanctum:

"The king summons, General Wei, please."

"Governor Xie."

Seeing Baili Yan lame, Ye Xin asked:

"How is General Wei's leg injury?"

"It's okay, it's okay to raise it for a while."

In fact, the opening on the leg is very large, more than a foot long and a centimeter deep, and it is hooked by a hook and sickle. The stab of an ordinary long-bladed spear is not enough to make such a hole in the thigh, only a hooked scythe can do it.

In the early years, Bailiyan never thought that the hook and sickle was powerful, but later found that the hook and sickle were more fierce than the spear, and the spear could only be used to assassinate, not to slash and peck.

In addition to having the assassination skills of the gun, the hook and sickle can hook and slash, and can peck and sweep, although it was mainly used to hook and chop the horse's legs in the early days, but now it is a sharp weapon for killing, and many soldiers with lower limb disabilities are eighty percent of the permanent disabilities caused by the hook and sickle.

When this kind of blade is defended, there is no need to assassinate at all, as long as it sweeps left and right on the ground and acts as a hook, it can cut the tendons and arteries of people, which is very cruel.

Baili Yan lame to take the inner hall, and saw King Xian sitting on the bed, there was a huge ice book on one side of the bed, which was full of ice, and the indoor temperature was much higher than that of the outer hall.

"Stand down."

"No!"

King Xian's tone was cold, and the officials gathered around each bowed and slowly retreated.

"Come on, give General Wei a seat."

"No!"

The palace maids on the left and right moved a collapse, and a jade mat was laid on the collapse.

The jade mat is a mat made of jade pieces in series, which are about 1.5 centimeters wide, 2 centimeters long, and 3 to 5 millimeters thick, and are a first-class ritual that only monarchs can enjoy, and are a symbol of royal power. Without a reward from the monarch, even if it is a relative of the emperor, he cannot make a jade mat for private use in violation of regulations.

Seeing that there was a jade mat on the seat, Bailiyan was not busy sitting down, so she gave a salute first:

"The last will see the king."

"This time the suppression of the rebellion of General Wei is a great contribution, and the widow is about to thank General Wei, and General Wei does not need to be polite."

"The last general is terrified and does not dare to take credit."

"Okay, does General Wei have to talk to the widow across a wall, since he is already the widow's nephew and son-in-law, why should he be so restrained, sit."

"King Xie."

Baili Yanjing sat down, and King Xian motioned to the palace maid to bring a few bowls of sour plum soup and put them in the ice to refrigerate, and then continued:

"Will General Wei's leg injury leave a disability?"

"No, but it will be difficult to heal for a while, and I don't know what the king is going to do with Gongsun Yue and the others."

"Let's not mention this matter first, the widow asks you, how should Beihai County be dealt with, can it be saved?"

"Has the king met Uncle Guang?"

"Exactly, you sent a letter to Zhao Xun last night that the widow has already learned that the widow can't watch the country passed on to the widow by the martyr ancestor and end it like this."

"That'...... Uncle Guang has a clever plan? ”

King Xian's face changed suddenly, and a look of disappointment jumped on his face.

"The widow only asked General Wei if Beihai County could be saved."

"This ...... Hard. ”

"Then there's still life!"

"But it's going to be extremely tough."

"Say it quickly, the widow forgives General Wei for his innocence."

King Xian's eagerness to seek a plan was obviously Uncle Guang's helpless state of embarrassment after learning that the rebels had sent troops to Guangxin.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers of Beihai County are only 350,000 miscellaneous soldiers and servants, and their combat strength is far less than that of less than 20,000 soldiers.

Among the soldiers of Beihai County, the Guangxin garrison is divided into two parts, one is the county soldiers, the combat strength is weak, and the other is the Guangxin Mansion recruitment, the main elite are all on the bank of the Yongxing River, and there are only more than 10,000 people left in Guangxin. If the Black Turban Army sneaks in secretly and suddenly launches a surprise attack, it is difficult to say that it will not capture Guangxin in one fell swoop.

Guangxin sits on half of the population of Beihai County, Pucheng can be taken in the west, and Lincheng can be attacked in the east, these two cities are sparsely populated, and they all have to rely on the military strength of Guangxin and Dingyangcheng. The rebels can threaten Dingyang City to the south after taking these three cities, Dingyang City has a population of nearly 300,000, Guangxin to Dingyang, and the forced march can be reached in two days. ”

"Then how can Wei Qing have a clever plan to break the thief soldiers?"

"It's hard! In fact, as far as the facts are concerned, the rebels are actually unable to capture Beihai County. It was only because the 150,000 Jin troops stationed in Leicheng did not move, so that the rebels dared to take Beihai County. ”

150,000 Jin troops were stationed in Leicheng, which is separated by a river to the west of Pucheng, and it took two or three days to go to Guangxin by boat and warship from Leicheng, and the Jin army could be said to be close at hand.

But it was the Jin army that was close at hand, and it didn't move from beginning to end, and Bai Liyan still didn't think about how the Jin army led by Ji Guang could sit back and watch the rebels and transfer troops under their noses and do nothing.

In addition, the combined forces of the Jin, Liang and Xian provinces each harbored ghosts, and the Yongxing River claimed to have more than 500,000 allied troops. In fact, since last year, whether it is the Jin army or the Liang army, they have all shrunk behind the Xian army and watched the tiger fight, waiting for the Xian army and the rebels to fight to the death.

Even if the Liang army and the Jin army could take the initiative to move to the front line of the Yongxing River at this time, Zhao Xun could draw out more than 100,000 horses and rush to Guangxin for reinforcements on horseback.

Obviously, the loss of Beihai County will be able to drag the Jin army and the Xian army into the quagmire of war and consume, nailing the rebels to the land of Xianguo, and unable to withdraw from the west to attack Sun and Changsun, so as to provide a war buffer zone for Liang.

"King, if you want to save Guangxin at this time, first, the troops are not enough, and second, there is not enough time. The rebels had 450,000 troops and horses west of the Yongxing River, and even if the rebels transferred 100,000 troops, Zhao Shuai's more than 300,000 troops and horses still could not draw troops and horses to Guangxin for reinforcements.

Therefore, when the rebels stormed the Yongxing River six days ago, they had already transferred their troops on the road, marched quickly to Tiancheng and Xiaqu, detoured to the southeast of Pucheng, and then divided their troops, one way to a thousand miles.

According to this calculation, the rebels were only more than 500 miles away from Guangxin and Dingyang at this time, and the east bank of the Yongxing River went to Guangxin through Qiling, which would take more than 900 miles, and even if our infantry army was one person and one horse, it would take six to seven days to arrive in Guangxin.

At that time, the rebels preempted our army and took the lead in encircling Guangxin and Dingyang, and even took the two places. And it had to be Wei Han's 100,000 Jin army, and An Taihou's 100,000 Liang army to help, so that Zhao Shuai could draw troops north. Otherwise, there will be no adjustment of troops, and there will be no time for our army to march, and what the rebels are calculating is that there is no harmony between the coalition forces, and our army does not have enough time. ”

When the words fell, King Xian sighed and said:

"Alas...... What Uncle Guang said is as General Wei saw, is there really no room for the widow to turn around? ”

"This ...... It's not all, for today's plan, you can only take risks, and the road of betting the national fortune on the gambling table can be taken. ”

"Bet! General Wei wants to gamble on the widow's country! King Xian's reaction was unexpectedly strong, maybe in his opinion, dragging can still last a while, if he loses the bet, he may lose all his essence overnight.

At this time, Bailiyan said again:

"Great King, in fact, the rebels did not expect that Chenling could fall into the hands of Gongsun Yue, but hoped to contain the attention of our army in Chenling, and then transfer some of their men and horses to Shanling to quell the rebellion, and they attacked the Yongxing River while secretly going north to capture Beihai County.

Therefore, the rebels hoped that the rebels in Shanling would drag on as long as possible, but they never expected that Gongsun Yue would only hold out for a day and a half before being pacified by our army. Therefore, if our army chooses an elite 30,000 horsemen to march forcibly, it can arrive at Dingyang City on the second day. Three days earlier than the rebels. ”

"So what, if Dingyang and Guangxin should mutini in advance and the rebels come in formation, what can the 30,000 elites do."

"Although there are few soldiers, the most important thing is to employ people. The king should send Ding Yang Marquis and Guangxin Gong to return to the fiefdom immediately, and the two of them have contacts all over the fiefdom, as long as they stabilize the hearts of the people, borrow troops from the big households, take over the defense of the whole city, and stabilize the situation, the rebels in the city should not dare to cause trouble before the rebels arrive. After the reinforcements of our army arrived in Dingyang, they were stationed first, and Zhao Shuai was erected as a suspicious soldier. ”

"Reinforcements are stationed in Dingyang, what about Guangxin? Will the rebels learn of the deployment of our army and attack Quang Sin? ”

"Yes, I will definitely go to attack Guangxin, there is no doubt about it."

"In this way, General Wei has another plan."

"It's not a clever plan, it's a risky plan."

The 30,000 elite faced the fully armed infantry corps, and the chances of victory were slim. Not to mention that there are many means for infantry to deal with cavalry nowadays, and the infantry is not afraid of cavalry at all, and has created a special anti-cavalry formation to deal with cavalry charges.

The tactical advantage of the cavalry lies in the mobility and impact inertia, in the face of a small number of infantry has an absolute advantage, when facing several times their own, equipped with a large number of spears and hooks and sickles of the infantry formation, whether frontal or flank attack, it is difficult to play a role, if you encounter a strong bow and crossbow, can not ride and shoot light cavalry, it is simply a moving live target.

When the rebels found that Dingyang City had been firmly controlled by the Xian army, they would immediately attack Dingyang's army and quickly go north to meet the division and besiege Guangxin City.
