It seems impossible for 5,000 soldiers to drag down an army of 50,000, but in the current situation of the three countries, it is completely existent.

Because, Cangguo occupies the Bandit Mountains!

Once the two countries go to war, if Shen Guo's army is only outside the two cities of Tunbing Shanquan and Pingxiang, this may not be enough to make the Zheng army defending the city fearful, but if there are 5,000 soldiers from the Bandit Mountain Range to respond, then what is the result?

Because, now the White Tiger Legion stationed in the Bandit Mountain Range has a full five thousand elites!

If Shen Guo attacks Shanquan City and Heping Township City, then the White Tiger Legion can assist in attacking the city and cut off Zheng Guo's reinforcements, if Shen Guo does not attack these two cities and goes directly into the hinterland of Zheng State, then there is the White Tiger Legion on the side to deter, and the troops in the two cities do not dare to go out of the city to intercept it, which is enough to ensure that the rear of Shen Guo's army is worry-free.

This is the difference between the order of sending troops, and it is also the advantage of occupying a geographical advantage!

Kong Shangxian's strategy is very simple, that is, let the White Tiger Legion not rush to attack first, but always be stationed in the Bandit Mountain Range, becoming a flexible mobile force, where it needs to go, it is best to stay in the Bandit Mountain Range all the time, so that Zheng Guo can not figure out the movement, and can only arrange an army to defend in every city that may be attacked.

In this way, it is equivalent to the 5,000 soldiers of Shen State, plus the White Tiger Legion of Cangguo, a total of 10,000 troops, dragging the enemy forces several times their own!

This is a war between small countries, because there is not much strategic depth, so every arrangement is cautious, once an army enters the imperial capital of Zheng State, or a key city is captured, causing the entire country to be cut off, then for the entire Zheng State, it will be a disastrous consequence.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks that if my White Tiger Legion does not move, Zheng Guo will definitely react."

"What's the reaction?"

"Take the initiative!" Kong Shangxian said solemnly: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate Zheng Han's intelligence, if we are entangled in his hands and feet, Weichen believes that he will definitely find a way to break the situation, and with this person's military style, most of them will take the initiative to attack!" ”

"Take the initiative? Could it be that you mean that you took the initiative to enter the vicinity of the Bandit Mountain Range and confront the White Tiger Legion? Yang Mu listened to it, and also felt that it was very possible, if Zheng Han had this courage, he would use the same method to contain the White Tiger Legion, once the White Tiger Legion left the Bandit Mountain Range, then the army under Zheng Han's command would enter the mountain range and occupy the magpie's nest.

But is he willing to do it?

Once the White Tiger Legion rushes into the hinterland of Zheng State, it will be a disastrous consequence!

In comparison, the loss of the Bandit Mountain Range in Cangguo will not have much impact on the entire war situation, at most, the two sides have mutual scruples and ceased fighting.

Unless...... Zheng Han has a vision for the future, even if he pays a big price, he will take down the Bandit Mountain Range, so as to completely suppress the Cangguo, just wait for the future when the country recovers, and then rely on the geographical location of the Bandit Mountain Range to easily destroy the Cangguo.

This is indeed a very good strategy, not trying to win or lose one city or one place in front of him, so that Zheng Guoguo is invincible.

It's just that even if Zheng Han understands this, can he do the Lord's?

You must know that today's Zheng Han is just a second prince of Zheng Guo, and he is a prince who has just experienced a big defeat and an unstable position, and the cities in the rear are all in the interests of the nobles, once he does this, wouldn't he be an enemy of the nobles in the entire country?

A month ago, he might have been able to stand out from the crowd, but now, he is far from capable of doing so.

Unless, he abdicates the throne and dares to suffer the consequences of defeat.

But is it possible?

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks that there are no absolutes in things, Zheng Han is the prince after all, if he persuades Emperor Zheng Guo, then we will fall into a very big passivity, it is better for us to find a way to get rid of this opponent first, so that it cannot be used."

"Using Zheng Kang?"

Kong Shangxian nodded: "The two brothers are inseparable, as long as we provoke it a little, Zheng Kang will definitely become a big help for us, and there is...... Please Your Majesty to answer Weichen and send Zheng Guo! ”

"Envoy?" Yang Mu was shocked, Zheng Guo and Cang Guo rarely sent envoys to each other, not to mention that with the current tense relationship between the two countries, if Kong Shangxian sent an envoy to Zheng Guo, not to mention that there was no return, at least it would be in danger.

Moreover, Kong Shangxian is a courtier of Zheng Guo, and those high-ranking officials and nobles of Zheng Guo will definitely take the opportunity to make things difficult and vent their anger, it is easy to have three longs and two shorts!

"No, never." Yang Muzhi shook his head and directly denied this request, saying: "Although you are only a scholar of the Ministry of Education, but you are the minister of my humerus, the capable minister of the world, my monarch and ministers work together, and we will definitely be able to create a foundation for eternity, and we must not put ourselves in danger because of such a small obstacle!" ”

Kong Shangxian was moved, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty's care, Weichen is grateful." In this way, the minister should share his worries for His Majesty and plan for me for eternity! In the past, His Majesty and the minister said when they first met, ascending to the top must be inferior, going far must be self-defeating, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, the minister has always used this to encourage himself, and the envoy Zheng Guo seems to be not very important, but it is the most urgent issue at the moment, based on the present, there is the foundation of the future! ”

"Aiqing insists on this, so I can only agree." Yang Mu nodded helplessly and sighed, when the two of them talked about it in Zichen Hall for an afternoon, they made bold remarks, quoted a lot of famous sentences, and it was also a big pot of chicken soup, and now he forgot it himself, but he didn't expect Kong Shangxian to keep it in his heart and see it so important.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, there is not much danger for Wei Chen to go." Kong Shangxian said with relief.

"Oh?" Yang Mu frowned and said: "When you were in Zheng Guo, you were already excluded by others, and this time, it is difficult to ensure that those selfish nobles will not make things difficult for you, and even ambush and kill, Aiqing is better to be cautious." ”

Kong Shangxian shook his head: "This time, Weichen will not negotiate with the Zheng court, but it is enough to meet with that Zheng Kang, whether it is open or secret, since Zheng Kang dares to have an alliance with His Majesty, then he will definitely not destroy the relationship between the two at this time." ”

Yang Mu somewhat understood what Kong Shangxian meant, in a word, Zheng Kang didn't know that his letter had been seen now, since this scene was going to continue, then he would definitely not attack Kong Shangxian, and even send someone to protect him, otherwise his efforts would be wasted.

"Could it be that the purpose of Aiqing's envoy is just to drive a wedge between Zheng Kang and Zheng Han?"

"Not bad." Kong Shangxian bowed respectfully, then took out a roll of paper from his sleeve, and said, "This is the plan drawn up by Weichen a few days ago, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to take a look." ”

Plan......

Yang Mu was surprised, it seems that the plan to envoy Zheng Guo has been brewing in Kong Shangxian's heart for a long time, and if he can carry it with him, I am afraid that he would have guessed that there would be such a day.

Shen An carefully took the paper and respectfully presented it to Yang Mu's imperial case.

The book paper is divided into three parts.

A letter, a picture, a list.
