After reading it in detail and putting the content into the iron letter, he said:

"You have all the strong men to deliver the letter, and I will rest in my military camp for the time being tonight, and when the commander writes a reply, I will also bother you to present it to the master of your faction."

"Yongxing Hou is serious, this is a matter within my share, not enough to worry about."

"Then please rest for the night today. Jiang Jie, take you to rest and prepare enough food to entertain. ”

"No!"

When everyone left, Bailiyan asked Zhao Anling to invite him to the big tent and transfer the secret letter to him.

"Mr. Zhao, look at the list of royal guests, it can be profitable."

"It depends on where the Black Turban Army transfers these 200,000 horses to the east, if it goes to the eldest grandson, it is not advantageous, it may defeat the eldest grandson at any time and go south, if it goes straight to Changyin and Ganfu, it will be even worse.

If it is to the southeast to reinforce Black Wind and Long Yuan, it will still be profitable. But his subordinates were only worried that these 200,000 horses were coming straight to Ganfu and Changyin. If you take a boat, I am afraid that it will be about half a month, and you should walk for 40 days to the west bank of the Sishui River.

Moreover, the arrangement of the Black Turban Army can be described as very clever, on the one hand to stabilize the position on the western front, and on the other hand, to mobilize elite soldiers and strong generals to the east to reinforce, even if the battle of Shentong and Chitose cannot be won, it will also consume a lot of strength and material resources of our army and the Gongliang army, and then these 200,000 horses will come to reinforce again, I am afraid that our army will have to be driven out of Changyin County by them. ”

"According to Mr., the Black Turban Army is shrinking on the Western Front in order to free up its hands to defeat our army and the Gongliang Army, and then do maneuvers, not to make peace with the country sincerely."

"Yes. Hou Ye, don't forget, Wei Guo is different from Xianguo, Changsun, and Jin Guo are in the hinterland of the Central Plains. If it enters the Central Plains, it will be jointly attacked by the vassal states of the Central Plains in the future, and it will inevitably weaken the strength of the Central Plains before the alliance is formed.

If the arrogant and foolish factions anticipate what they think, they will all use the pretext of compromise to stabilize the defense of the country first, and then draw troops to the east to defeat our army and the Gongliang army, and then reorganize the troops and transfer them west to defend the country, so that it will be more than a year.

The vassal states have limited financial resources, food and grass, and the Black Turban Army is roughly the same, and now the Black Turban Army is gambling on the last capital, as long as it drags on for a year or two, the first grain is exhausted, and it has to stop fighting again.

I am afraid that this stop will be another three or five years, and the Black Turban Army will survive for a few more years, and perhaps the Black Turban Army will take the opportunity to make peace with other countries in a few years, and it may not be impossible to become a prince of one side during this period.

I am afraid that this is also the intention of the Black Turban Army to send envoys to Liang State. ”

The six-year war of Qianyue Mountain has exhausted the savings of the Central Plains princes for 20 years, and they have just accumulated in the past five or six years, and the war will support at most two years.

The peace with the defense of the country was only an expedient measure, and the real intention was still to achieve a short truce on the western front, so as to draw troops to the east to defeat the Xian and Zhi coalition forces. And this is in line with the purpose of Wei Guo's future entry into the Central Plains and the consumption of the strength of Zhiguo and Xianguo in advance.

In this way, the two parties hit it off, and there are common interests.

Thinking of this, Bailiyan gritted her teeth, but she was helpless.

This is the case with realpolitik, where everyone takes what they need, and can sacrifice and betray other countries for the sake of national interests. This is true even for the overlords.

Seeing that Bailiyan frowned, Zhao Anling said:

"Master Hou, there is something that you may be able to take advantage of, but you have to take a huge risk. If this happens, it may be a decisive battle. ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Master Hou has ever thought about taking Dekang County first."

"Take Dekang first?! Sir is talking about the granary! ”

"Yes, if you can quickly take the Dekang granary, whether it is the three military horses of Shentong, Shengyan, and Thunder, or the 200,000 horses transferred from the east, most of its baggage supplies are taken from Dekang, as long as the Dekang granary is captured, then the land and population of the eastern front will all be obtained by our army."

"But Dekang and Ganfu County face each other across the river, not to mention how our army crossed the river, after crossing the river to capture Dekang, the grain and grass there can not be moved, and the main goal of our army is not to capture Dekang, if a fire burns the grain and grass, although it is a solution to the urgent need, but the grain and grass in my four counties will be gone. At the same time, tens of millions of people west of Dekang will have no food available, how is this good? ”

"It is not impossible to cross the river, there is a person Huang Che on the list provided by the royal guest, this person is the governor of the Black Turban Army, the first water army, and is in charge of Jiao County, Jianghui County, Changyin County, Helong County, Ganfu County, Dekang County and other places.

This person was a fisherman in his early years, and later became a water thief, and after the Black Turban Army uprising, the water army suffered a big loss, and soon recruited this person. According to the news of the royal guest, this person has no hobbies, especially good at drinking and gambling, except for the robbery and killing of official ships in the early years, there is no bad record.

After returning to the Black Turban Army, he rarely went ashore and did not do anything evil. From this point of view, although this person works for the black scarf, his essence is not evil, if he can be persuaded to surrender to our army, it is not difficult to capture Dekang. ”

"Sir, this time, will the black turban reinforcements take the Huang Che warship to reinforce Zhaocheng."

"Quite possibly. Although Huang Che has been a water thief, his water battle is not very smart, and Xu Guo, Wei Guo, and Zhiguo have fought against the water army, and the record is mediocre. The Black Turbans placed it here because they didn't want to be shaken by their defeat. ”

"Well, that's true. It's just that Huang Che's boat is erratic, and it is not easy to find it, if you want to send someone to contact him, if you are not careful, you will have to go and have no return. ”

"Hou Ye rest assured, as long as the supernatural power is defeated and Zhaocheng is defeated, Xingcheng will be in danger, and the Black Turban Army will definitely defend the port of Xingcheng, so as not to fall into the hands of our army, and Huang Che's water army is bound to assist in Xingcheng, and the camera can send someone to contact it at that time."

"Then it's decided."

Crossing Ganfu County and directly attacking Dekang County is undoubtedly a huge adventure, just like when the lone army went deep into Songdia Province, while the blow was fatal, it was very likely to fall into the danger of being attacked by the enemy, but there were too many benefits to defeating the Dekang granary.

The first is the strategic surprise, and the supernatural powers would never have dreamed that the Xian army would risk the world's great disregard and plunge headlong into the hornet's nest.

Second, the defeat of Dekang County means the complete end of the Eastern Front Campaign, more than half of the grain and grass supplies of the Black Turban Army on the Eastern Front come from Dekang County, Dekang is occupied, as long as it withstands the initial counterattack, the Black Turban Army can only retreat to the north and west. In this way, the strategic pressure has shifted from the east to the north and west.

Third, the Dekang granary was lost, and the rebels in Ganfu, Shangguan, Wanchuan and other places were cut off from grain and grass, and it would be effortless to capture it.

These three points alone make it necessary and valuable to take the risk of attacking Dekang, and it doesn't hurt to occupy another county at the same time.

The next day, the reply was put into an iron envelope and handed over to the royal guest, and Bailiyan began to prepare to pour water into the valley. Han Qi and the others were restrained in the left camp and were not allowed to enter and leave at will, but they also kept to themselves.

At the same time, there was no peace in the city, after the Xian army threw leaflets for the second time, the defection of "Han Qi" seemed to have become a stupid thing to shoot himself in the foot, and the day after Han Qi's defection, soldiers fled one after another, and there were more than 80 people in two days.

Fourteen of them were captured, and the holy envoy was about to behead them, but Zhou Kong and Fang Ke resolutely disagreed:

"Lord Holy Envoy, the enemy is currently unstable, and some brothers have fallen into the tricks of the Xian army for a while, if they are all killed like this, how can I restrain the brothers from selling their lives in the future!" Fang Ke argued with reason and was very sympathetic to the deserters.

"General Fang!" The black-robed holy envoy spoke in a bad tone, stood in front of Fang Ke and said: "The Divine Power Heavenly King has repeatedly commanded, but all those who are bewitched by the enemy will not be punished severely, and the Holy Orders also have instructions to teach, those who turn their backs on the gods and the monarch are all cowards who are spurned by the gods, and they are not worthy of continuing to live."

In this troubled world, there is no need for heavy punishment, how can we deter Xiao Xiaoguan subordinates, everyone is as indulgent as General Fang, how can our army be invincible. ”

"That's too much!" At this time, Zhou Kong said bluntly, very angry in his heart: "Only fourteen people have been captured, if more than eighty people escape, all of them will be killed, and they will be arrested and killed again in the future, who will dare to serve our army."

The Xianjun is spreading rumors, and you and the Holy Orders are in charge of this matter, and you should try to poke the damn monster ball from the sky instead of spitting anger on the heads of soldiers here. ”

"General Zhou, it is my Holy Order's duty to preach the Holy Way and prohibit rumors, but my Holy Order also has the authority of military law, and now these people who have fled have been bewitched by the enemy army and turned their backs on their father, and they have fled without permission. If it is not severely punished, it will make the army's morale disheartened, and General Zhou will tolerate the traitors and arsonists to join the enemy. ”

The black-clothed holy envoy was aggressive, and Zhou Kong was not afraid:

"People are the people of the generals, how to deal with the fate of their own generals, it is not the turn of your holy lords. If the Holy Commander wants to intervene, then it is okay, you will lead the army to win the Xian army for the general, and the general will let you be the master, what does the Holy Envoy want. ”

"General Zhou, don't think that you have nothing to fear by relying on the trust of the Divine Power Heavenly King, this envoy will consult you at any time, and you won't regret it then."

"Hmph, I have a clear conscience, people have to stay, and they have to stay if they don't. Whoever dares to take it away, Hugh blames Ben for turning his face! Little lotus seeds! ”

"Here, what does the general command?" A woman in a stubborn black armor stepped forward.

"Detain people to Ben General, I'll see who dares to take them away."

"Yes."

Zhou Air-conditioner came to the female guards and guards, surrounded the people and horses of the Holy Order, and the black-clothed holy envoy and others were angry:

"Zhou Kong, you can't think of it!"

"Fart!" Zhou Kong scolded: "General Ben, you still have to live until now, and those who know each other leave people and leave quickly, otherwise Ben will use 'please'!" ”

Angrily opened his phoenix eyes, Zhou Kong's words were fierce and aggressive, and the black-clothed holy envoy knew that he was not Zhou Kong's opponent, so he said:

"Zhou Kong, you have to think clearly about what the consequences are."

"Hmph, what the consequences will be clear in my heart, if you kill people today, someone will have to flee tomorrow, run away every day, can't you kill every day."

"Okay, good, you're amazing, you're kind of waiting, let's go!"

Leaving behind a cruel word, the black-clothed holy envoy brushed his sleeves away.

"Damn!" Zhou Kong gritted his teeth and grabbed his head, and angrily kicked the table to the ground.

At this time, Funk said:

"General Zhou, what are these people doing?"

"What to do, pull out the rod and punish the thirty military sticks, lest the general appease the adulterer!"

"Oh, come on, pull out the rod and scold thirty."

The 14 arrested people were busy thanking them for their "grace not to kill," and then a team of soldiers escorted them out of the prison and dragged them to the execution ground for execution.
