Chapter 288: Three Steps of Strategy

This can be reassured, and soon the Yangtze River Sailor will not be his Zheng Yuan's. At that time, His Royal Highness only needs to send someone to ambush on the river bank, and the entire Yangtze River Sailor will be in the bag. ”

An Yi paused, and then said to Gao Cixun: "And what I'm worried about is not this Yangtze River sailor, but the king of Chu in the south. ”

Gao Cixun understood the meaning of An Yi's words, he slowly sat back in the chair, thought about it, and said to him: "I understand what you mean, I also asked my Uncle Wang to communicate with Nanfang before, but I didn't get any effective response. ”

"That's right, when my brother Wang was in the shallow palace before, he always didn't listen to things outside the window, only read the books of sages, never participated in the affairs of the court, and was idle at all times, so I'm afraid that this time we are making a lot of trouble, he will not be moved, I say something unpleasant, whether it is King Yong or Cixun as the emperor, he will not hesitate to bow his head and worship."

Gao Youjin, the king of Zhao, who was sitting opposite, opened his mouth to answer, it seemed that he knew the brother of the king of Chu very well, and he should have communicated at the request of Gao Cixun, but he thought that he had touched a nose.

An Yi nodded, did not continue to continue, but thought about it in his heart, and asked Gao Cixun instead: "Your Highness, there is a sentence below, I don't know whether to ask or not." ”

"Why should Uncle Jing Yuan be so polite to this king, but it doesn't hurt for you to say it!" Gao Cixun waved his big hand unconcernedly, and let An Yi continue.

"I want to ask Your Highness, what are your plans for Wang Jing?"

Gao Cixun sighed after hearing this, and said to An Yituo: "Don't hide it from Uncle Jing Yuan, now we can only mobilize the 30,000 border troops of my uncle's Taiyuan Town, 10,000 guards, and the 5,000 dragon guards under the grandson general of the capital governor, plus these horses you brought from the northwest, it is only more than 60,000 people.

Although the combat power of the border army is much stronger than that of the young master soldiers of the green battalion of the Beijing Central Guard, Gao Cixiang has nearly 70,000 troops in the north and south of the Forbidden City alone, not counting the soldiers and horses in the guards and battalions in the Zhili area, and the Liu Biao in the back pulled 200,000 troops to Wang Jingli, I estimate that he must now have at least 300,000 soldiers and horses in his hands. ”

According to what Gao Ciyi said, his elder brother is a frank and honest person compared to the other second brothers, and he didn't hide or boast about himself with An Yi, but he really had something to say.

It's just that in contrast, 300,000 to 60,000, the ratio of 5 to 1 forces is indeed a bit numb.

"Then Your Highness thinks that he has such a superior and heavy army in his hand, why don't he attack you now?"

After listening to An Yi's words, Gao Youjin, the king of Zhao on the side, looked a little unpleasant, but Gao Cixun didn't react much, just replied with a little thought: "I think there are two reasons, one is that although my brother Wang also holds a testament in his hand, he has not yet ascended the throne.

Second, I think he should be waiting for King Wu. Although the Tiger Camp is brave, it is only 30,000 people, and the 300,000 army is just icing on the cake, but King Wu himself is a fierce general who can fight well, and I think my fourth brother should be waiting for this general to preside over the overall situation. ”

Hearing this, An Yi rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, and then couldn't help asking: "In this way, you, the royal brother, don't seem to be very good at military affairs!" ”

"Yes."

Speaking of this stubble, King Gao Cixun looked very proud, "My father's five sons, except for the eldest brother's early death, only I have stayed in the army, if it is really just about arranging troops and using troops, don't say 300,000, I can let him 600,000." Merely....... Alas, the situation is not as simple as a sword on the battlefield. ”

An Yi smiled slightly, and then asked, "I will say one more thing that should not be said, since His Royal Highness King De knows that this is the case, what are you waiting for?" Wait until King Wu comes to this Taiyuan city with 300,000 troops? ”

"Bang!"

"You are presumptuous!"

Zhao Wang Gao Youjin, who was sitting opposite, couldn't bear it anymore at this moment, slapped it on the long table, stood up with a "rub", looked at An Yi and sneered unhappily: "If Uncle Jing Yuan wants to change his flag, it's still too late, why bother to grow others here to destroy his prestige!" ”

"Uncle Wang!"

An Yi didn't intend to argue with this fiery King Zhao, but Gao Cixun on the side opened his mouth first, "Uncle Jing Yuan can say this to his face today, that is, without us being outsiders, Uncle Wang must not chill Uncle Jingyuan's heart." ”

Although this King De is a generation younger than Gao Youjin, but the words are quite effective, Gao Youjin snorted and sat back again, and glanced coldly at An Yi.

"My Uncle Wang has always been in a hurry, and I hope that Uncle Wang will not be surprised." Turning his head, Gao Cixun bowed his hand deeply towards comfort, which can be regarded as a compensation for King Zhao's rudeness.

An Yi's rock candy face did not change, but he hurriedly stretched out a hand to hold King De up and said: "It's okay, it's okay, Lord Zhao is really temperamental, and his words are inconsiderate, and it is inappropriate." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and coldly met King Zhao's gaze in the void.

"That'....... According to Uncle's meaning, what should we do now? ”

An Yi stretched out three fingers towards Gao Cixun,

"I will give His Highness a main line, which is mainly divided into three steps, let's call it the 'strategic three steps'."

"Strategic ...... Three steps? King De felt very fresh, and repeated the new term.

An Yi nodded, "That's right, 'Strategy three steps.'" 'This first step is to take down the Yangtze River Water Division, the first half of which I have arranged for His Royal Highness, then the second half of the step is to need King De to appoint a capable cadre to take over the Yangtze River Water Division in an all-round way, and firmly control the Water Division in his own hands. ”

An Yi said as he dipped his index finger in the big red robe in the porcelain cup, and gestured with Gao Cixun on the long table.

"The Great Xia Dynasty was vast, and the Yangtze River, which ran through it, roughly divided the whole world into north and south. Whoever masters the only water division of Great Xia will control the water of the Yangtze River, and whoever will control the gate connecting the north and the south! At that time, as long as His Royal Highness does not agree, Gao Cixiang will wait until dawn in Wangjing, and he will not be able to wait for King Wu's reinforcements!

Not only that, but when the matter is completed, the sailor in the hands of His Royal Highness can also crush Gao Cixiang's dream of rowing the river with a hammer! ”

"That's the first step."

Then An Yi pointed in the northwest direction and continued: "This second step is to let the Liao people enter Tongguan. ”

Gao Cixun, who had just heard this, was a little puzzled, and asked with a disapproving appearance, "Uncle, where did you start with this?" Although Great Xia is now a chaotic situation, no matter how I say it, it is an internal matter of my Great Xia, if it attracts the Liao people to intervene, won't it lead the wolf into the house? ”

"So, why don't I ask Your Highness in turn, how many troops can Your Highness draw to garrison Tongguan now?"

An Yi didn't know that this "Tongguan Summoning Talisman" summoned Xiao Yan'er's tiger and wolf master to attract wolves into the room? But the current situation is not a question of whether to attract wolves at all, it is a matter of how you can't stop the cunning steppe wolf from trying to come in.

Don't ask, An Yi knows that this Liao army is powerful, Gao Cixun boasts that the combat power of his soldiers and horses is superior to that of the Zhili region, so what about the Xia army in Gansu Town? I'm afraid that it can't be compared with the border army under Wang Chengguang's hands who eat sand every day, right?

Let's not talk about what changes have been experienced in the middle, let's just say that the border army of Gansu Town has only 100 people when it was killed from the original tens of thousands of horses to the final takeover of An Yi, which is an indisputable fact.

In the face of this combat effectiveness, I am afraid that if I don't pull the 60,000 people out of Taiyuan and all of them in Tongguan, in the face of the brave Khitan iron horsemen and the scheming Xiao Yan'er, An Yi didn't dare to pat his chest and say that he would definitely be able to bear it.

What's more, Gao Cixun knew in his heart that there were not many people in his hands, and who was the most proud of him when he took it out to fight with the Liao people? Anyway, he's not comfortable.

So Gao Cixun didn't answer when he was asked by An Yi, just nodded and motioned for him to continue,

"The high walls of Taiyuan Town are deep, and our 60,000 people are surrounded by several fortified cities and clear fields that form horns with each other, even if the Liao people come to attack after passing through the Tong Pass, they may not be able to attack it. What's more, she Xiao Yan'er is not the kind of master who specializes in hard work, Wang Jing will not go to the world of flowers, and come to touch the city wall under this Taiyuan city? So I expect that they will only leave some soldiers and horses to guard the pass to prevent us from wrapping them up, and the remaining main force is to take Wang Jing directly. ”

When Gao Cixun heard this, although he nodded involuntarily, he was still a little worried: "I just don't know that my fourth brother can't catch the Liaoren's full attack, in case Wang Jing is lost, aren't we more passive?" When the time comes, because the two of us fight, we lost Wang Jing, and I really don't know how to enter the Fengxian Hall in the future. ”

An Yi was very relieved Gao Cixun and said: "This King De can rest assured, Gao Cixiang is no longer good, with high walls and deep pools and nearly 300,000 troops, and it is to resist foreign races, although Wang Jing will inevitably be infected by war, but it will definitely be safe." ”

After hearing this, Gao Cixun nodded again thoughtfully, "So, what about the third step?" ”

An Yi smiled, raised his finger and pointed at Gao Cixun and said: "The last step is to depend on His Royal Highness King De, didn't His Highness just now say that the 600,000 army is not afraid?" After the Liao people couldn't attack for a long time and retreated, and the Yangtze River sailors blocked King Wu, Wang Jingke left a Gao Cixiang with the remnants of the army who had just been baptized by the Liao, couldn't His Royal Highness solve it? ”

"Yes!"

Gao Cixun stood up excitedly, and with the table of tea splashed by the tea cup in front of him, which had long been out of heat but was still full of steam, he almost lifted the entire quilt to the ground.

"Uncle Jingyuan came up today and gave three great gifts to this king, but according to this king, the biggest gift today is Uncle Jingyuan yourself!"

King De seemed very happy, perhaps since Wang Jing came on horseback, he has always been depressed and worried, and he has never been so happy as today after listening to the strategic guidance after obtaining the edict of the jade seal, and suddenly he felt that he was no longer shrouded in the fog by his fourth brother, as if through the gray haze, he could also see the brilliant golden light released by the chair of power.

"But...... The old man asked, what does Uncle Jingyuan plan to do with the Liao? ”

Although Sun Dezhang's words were a little out of place, it can be regarded as asking the common doubts in the hearts of these people here.

According to the comfortable "strategic three-step walk", breaking Wang Jing and taking King Yong to sit in the world, Daxia is already full of holes, and at that time, no matter what, it will not be able to have another battle with the Liao people who are not favorable even if they are besieging Wang Jing.

However, An Yi was full of confidence in this question, the corners of his mouth were curved with a crescent moon, and his eyes were shining.

"Xiao Yan'er! I'll deal with this woman. ”
