Chapter 344: The Great War Begins

Wang Xu looked at Wang Zhen and asked, "Xiaozhen, why don't you wait for my sister?" ”

Wang Zhen pursed his lips and snorted: "My sister is always a scoundrel, hmph, I don't wait for her." When the voice fell, Wang You and Wang Zhuo also nodded hurriedly, and said hesitantly: "That's it, don't wait for my sister." ”

After Wang Xi heard this, he glared at Wang Zhen, Wang Zhuo and Wang You with big eyes, and said, "If you don't play with me, I'll go tell the queen mother." ”

She came up with a killer weapon, and Wang Zhen and Wang You were completely defeated.

Wang Xu hugged Wang Xi in his arms and laughed, these three sons and two daughters are really funny.

Looking at the children who are growing up day by day, Wang Xu also has a lot of emotion in his heart. In three years, although the Western Capital has not expanded outward, its strength has increased a lot, especially Lin Yanghao, Shi Tao and Meng Jian and others have achieved remarkable results, and the three of them have completely stabilized Hexi County and eliminated all hidden dangers.

"Step! Trample! ……”

Outside the courtyard, there was a rush of footsteps.

A shì ran in from the fast and whispered a few words in Wang Xu's ear.

After Wang Xu heard this, his face changed greatly, he stretched out his hand to put down Wang Xi, and ordered the maids standing around to take the three children back to their respective courtyards, and then turned around and walked towards the Chengqian Palace.

In the Chengqian Palace, Jia Hui, Ye Xiong, Han Shushu, Zhang Meng, Li Zhi, Fukangan, Zheng Feng, Zheng Li and others stood solemnly, and their expressions were serious.

After Wang Xu entered the main hall, everyone hurriedly bowed to Wang Xu.

Wang Xu nodded in greeting, and after sitting down on the main seat, he asked, "Mr. Jia, how is the situation in the south?" ”

Jia Hui stepped out of the column and arched his hand and said: "Back to the lord, Hu Ling suddenly gathered an army of 500,000 to attack Wu County, and he is fighting with Yu Yuan at this moment. ”

In the past three years, Hu Ling has eaten almost all the grain, and expanding the land is a must-do, which was expected by Wang Xu.

Jia Hui continued: "Hu Ling's envoy is currently waiting outside the hall, how does the lord want to respond? ”

Wang Xu did not answer Jia Hui's words. Instead, he asked, "Everyone, if you start a war with the imperial court at this time, can you have a chance of winning?" ”

Jia Hui and the officials of the six ministries were all heavy-faced, and they did not dare to make conclusions. But many generals in the hall have long been impatient, especially Fukangan, Zheng Feng, and Zheng Li, the three of them have not made an inch of success so far, and they stay in the school field all day to train soldiers. I'm almost sick.

Zhang Meng, Li Zhi and others have long been looking forward to the coming of the war.

"Lord, you can give the order, while Hu Ling attacks Wu County, we will kill the imperial capital!" Zheng Li suddenly roared.

As soon as he finished speaking, the cauldron was smashed in the hall, and many generals asked for battle.

Wang Xu pressed his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Even if you want to fight, you must get in touch with Zhu Huan in the north." The three kings acted together, and there was a slight chance of victory. ”

According to Jinyiwei's investigation, saltpeter is really extinct, and there is no land in Nanjun, and there are only 40,000 clay pots and 150,000 bamboo knots in the western capital at this moment, so either you don't move, or you have to succeed in one fell swoop, at least capture the imperial capital. Wipe out the imperial court once and for all!

Han Shushu came out at this moment: "Lord, Zhu Huan's old state is not to be feared, but Cai Wenzhuo, the prime minister under Zhu Huan, is extremely resourceful. Wei Chen thought that he would not send troops to help us. ”

"Even if he sends troops, he will attack Bao'an County, and he will definitely not come to the imperial capital!" Han Shu's picture is resolute, and Cai Wenzhuo's state of mind is broken in one sentence.

Wang Xu nodded, if it was himself. He will also choose to attack Bao'an County, the reason is very simple, Hu Ling fights Wu County, Wang Xu attacks the imperial capital, both forces have their own goals, if they succeed, they can get the apprentices they deserve, but if Zhu Huan intervenes, who is the captured city?

Moreover, Wang Xu and Hu Ling restrained most of the troops of the imperial court, and it was when Beijun rose, and the chances of attacking Bao'an County were very high.

Wang Xu thought for a moment and finally made up his mind.

"Since the end of the war has begun, then we can't retreat, this king has decided, fight!"

As soon as Wang Xu finished speaking, many generals in the hall grinned, which was exactly what they were looking forward to; And many civilian officials are thinking with sad faces, since they want to fight, how to send troops? How to fight to have a chance of winning?

As a strategist, this is their business, especially Han Shushu, he racked his brains to think about it.

Wang Xu said suddenly: "Hu Ling's envoy is temporarily arranged in the Zhaoxian Pavilion, and he will say that this king will meet again when he is free." ”

"In addition, the herald ordered Sun Yu of Hexi County, Qiancang on the northern border, and Qin Shuang on the southern border to immediately come to the Western Capital to return to the division and wait for the order to send troops."

Jia Hui said: "My lord, did you send an envoy to Beijun to contact Zhu Huan?" ”

Wang Xu thought for a while and said: "No need, as long as our army comes out, he will inevitably seize the fighter plane to attack Bao'an County, if he doesn't even have this bit of guts, how can he have the huge North County." ”

What Wang Xu said is exactly what Han Shushu is thinking at the moment.

Looking at Wang Xu on the main seat, Han Shushu showed admiration, but he didn't expect Wang Xu to be able to see things so thoroughly, which surprised him a little.

"The officials of the six ministries, the Wenyuan Pavilion, and the Military Aircraft Department will immediately form a military research group to analyze the next battle, draw up a strategy for dispatching troops, and discuss it again tomorrow morning."

"It's all gone."

With a wave of his big hand, Wang Xu got up and walked to the back room.

.................

At the border of South County and the border of Kure County.

Hu Ling's army set up three camps here, each other's horns, mutual support, step by step, this time, is the meaning of high power, because the grain and grass of Nanjun is indeed in danger, this time to attack Wu County, he is personally shot to supervise the war, 500,000 troops are also abnormal elite, including 200,000 iron cavalry, to talk about field battles, but not afraid!

It was precisely because Hu Ling's army had 200,000 iron cavalry that Yu Yuan changed his previous combat style and no longer dared to go out of the city to face the battle, so he had to retreat in the city and defend passively.

In addition, Yu Yuan started from the border of Wu County, building a small camp every thirty li, a medium-sized camp every fifty li, and every place where there was a city, he would build a large camp not far from the city, so that it could also echo each city from afar, making it difficult for the enemy to take care of it.

This is a typical guard battle, judging from Yu Yuan's arrangement, you can roughly guess Yu Yuan's thoughts, he wants to fight a protracted battle with the enemy, this style of play is a bit similar to the battle between Lu Xun and Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms period.

Yu Yuan used troops like this, the effect is obvious, Hu Ling's army has been coming to Wu County for more than ten days, but it has only advanced for a hundred miles, that is to say, it has destroyed two small camps, a medium-sized camp, a large camp, and also captured a city.

This result is not very good, in half a month, Yu Yuan only lost more than 10,000 soldiers, while Hu Lingjun was killed and wounded nearly 20,000, and the march was slow.

If you follow this rate of progress, by the time you reach the royal city of Wujun, it will be at least a year later, and by that time, let alone fighting, the soldiers will starve to death, how can the grain and grass withstand consumption.

In this regard, Gao Quan is also deeply hurt by the brain meridian and is thinking hard about a good strategy. (To be continued.) )
