"Catch me off guard?"

At this time, Zichen Hall was carrying his hands behind his back, and after hearing Jinyiwei's message, a sneer appeared on his face.

After the invasion of the Cave Kingdom, he has been thinking about it, the Cave Kingdom and the Cang Kingdom have a close relationship, it is impossible not to know the scale of the Cang army, why did he dare to invade the Cang Kingdom after only sending 500,000 troops?

Later, after thinking about it carefully, Dong Guo is already the crown prince in power, and his style of behavior has changed to his father's reluctance and stealing peace, so it is very likely to put the national interests first, let go of the hatred with Sheng Guo, and urge the two countries to cooperate and jointly attack Cangguo.

So, he told Jinyiwei to always pay attention to Sheng Guo's movements.

Sure enough, in just a few days, news came from the frontier.

Sheng Guo is dispatching troops and generals to quickly move south on the grounds of moving defense!

The ambition is clear!

Therefore, Cangguo immediately convened the ministers to discuss the matter.

Want to raid Cangguo?

Dream!

According to the news from Jinyiwei, the number of troops gathered by Sheng Guo this time has reached more than 500,000, including almost all the main forces in the country.

The country of Dong and the country of Sheng are menacing.

According to this situation, it is estimated that in a few days, Cangguo will fall into a two-front battle, and Leyuan County and Linshui County are about to face a big war.

200,000 versus 900,000, the difference in strength is very large.

"Lord Zuo, what is your best plan for this battle?" Yang Mu asked Kong Shangxian.

"The minister thinks that if my Cangguo wants to support two wars at the same time, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it, so it is better to choose one of them to break it first, so that we can stop the war."

"Truce? Aiqing thinks that the goal of our Cangguo is to support the withdrawal of troops from the two countries? Yang Mu frowned and said: "The population and agriculture of my Cangguo are inferior to these two countries, even if the two countries cease fighting, it is inevitable that they will attack again after rectification, and it will not be a long-term solution after all." Besides, our Cangguo has long relied on foreign trade, and if the gates of the west and north are blocked, then there will only be one trade route in the south, and the situation will be very unfavorable. ”

"Then there is only one strategy, focus on competing with one country and fight until it sues for peace!"

"Huh? Let's talk about it. ”

"The minister thinks that the location of the Dong Kingdom is more favorable to our Cangguo, once it is defeated, domestic trade can be maintained, and the Sheng Kingdom is helpless."

Dong Guo ......

Hearing this, Yang Mu knocked on the table, indeed from today's geographical location, Leyuan County is mainly adjacent to Dongguo, Linshui County is adjacent to Dongguo, and the economic lifeline of Cangguo is mainly in Leyuan County.

But how should this battle be fought?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the two major legions of Suzaku and Xuanwu should be sent to defend Linshui County, the two major legions of Qinglong and White Tiger should be responsible for the strategic offensive, and the Qilin Legion should assist in the decisive battle." Kong Shangxian admonished again.

The two armies of the Blue Dragon and the White Tiger again?

Yang Mu felt weird, but he had to agree.

Indeed, judging from the past wars, large and small, the two major armies of the Blue Dragon and the White Tiger are more suitable for attacking, and the Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu Legion are more suitable for a more gentle style of play, which can also be said to be defensive.

This is mainly inseparable from the character of the commanders of the two armies.

Wei Zhongquan is a veteran general who has led troops for many years, has rich experience, and can also deal with all kinds of large and small wars.

Sima Hong himself is a thick and fine person, brave and inappropriate on the battlefield, especially suitable for head-on battles, and letting him defend the city is tantamount to tying him with a rope.

Han Tong and Zhu Xi are two very stable people, advancing and retreating to a certain extent, from the perspective of leading the troops to fight, they do have outstanding points, otherwise they would not have stood out from the many guards back then, with the two of them leading the troops to guard the frontier, Yang Mu is also relieved.

Besides, the current garrison of the four major legions is also exactly the same, and there is no need to move the division again.

"Does Lord Ge have a high opinion?"

Yang Mu looked at Ge Lie, the secretary of the military department who was standing on the side, the military department was also discussing hotly in the past two days, formulating different tactics, looking at Ge Lie's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping on the side, there should be something to say.

Ge Lie arched his hand: "In the past few days, the old minister has discussed with the military department, but he has come to a standstill on one issue. Our military department believes that if the troops of the Dong Kingdom are scattered and fight against our army one by one, or if the war is unfavorable, retreat to the country and block the border, what should our Cangguo do? Could it be that it is impossible to engage in a protracted tug-of-war with it? ”

Hearing this, all the ministers were shocked.

Even Yang Mu looked at Kong Shangxian and exchanged glances.

This is indeed a very big problem.

"Dare to ask Lord Ge, have the adults of the military department discussed what countermeasures?" Kong Shangxian asked.

"There are two strategies, please take the helm right. First, after the war fell into a stalemate, our Cangguo took the initiative to retreat and confront the Dong country, the prince of the cave country is not the emperor after all, he will definitely not be reconciled, and will gather troops to fight with our army. ”

The ministers nodded, this is indeed a feasible way, at least so that Cangguo will not be too passive.

"What about the second one?" Yang Mu was looking forward to it, and the military department, which had been ignored by him, offered a feasible plan, which surprised him.

"Second, it is a battle to decide!" After Ge Lie finished speaking, he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, for more than a year, our Cangguo has vigorously developed military baggage and combat weapons, and the four major legions have all adopted improved repeater crossbows, which are equipped with gears and conversion slots, etc., and the number is as many as 10,000, and all the chariots have been converted into crossbow vehicles, and equipped with a large number of catapults and siege vehicles, plus the armor and weapons of the soldiers, etc...... In this way, my Cangguo soldiers are all elite, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are unparalleled in the world, such a good situation is fully capable of fighting to the death with the army of the Cave Kingdom! ”

A decisive battle?

All the courtiers looked at each other and did not say a word.

Most of the people here are civil servants, and in military affairs, compared with military generals, they are all less courageous.

Steady and steady, it is their inherent thinking, and all of a sudden they talk about a decisive battle, so that their thinking has not changed all of a sudden.

"Lord Ge, can the army of my Cangguo really win in one battle?" Wang Ying, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, asked.

"That's right, the equipment was made by my Ministry of Industry, can those weapons really play such a big role? Even if three arrows hit an enemy, it would take 1.5 million arrows, and it would be impossible to shoot them before they could engage in close combat. Chen You, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, questioned.

"This is a risk, if you lose, it will be a disaster for the country." Qin Changfeng, the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, added.

All the ministers expressed their opinions very seriously, and they had great doubts about Ge Lie's proposal.

After all, as soon as the battle begins, it is a decisive battle, which is rare in the war examples of various countries, and its danger is very great, and if you are not careful, there is a danger of losing the country. ()
