Chapter 586: The Battle of the Ages (36)

As early as the moment when he received the invasion of Kaiyuan by various princes, Han Ziyu said that among the three kings, Yang Xiong and the little emperor can be beaten or not, and they can be repelled if they are slightly frightened, but Jiang Yiyuan is not, Jiang Yiyuan is here, and he will not stop if he does not achieve his goal, because the whole incident was provoked by him; And on the other hand, if Jiang Yiyuan didn't kill Ling Feng, then Ling Feng's next plan would definitely be to destroy Jiang Yiyuan, because at that time, in Ling Feng's eyes, Jiang Yiyuan was the most terrifying person, and he had to be eliminated, even if it was for the revenge of the three kings' joint attack on Kaiyuan, he had to lead his troops to the south.

Liao Yun and Jiang Yiyuan continued to fight in the southern border of Kaiyuan, and within a month, it had spread all over the world, and the details of the battle were known everywhere in the eastern, western, northern, and imperial capitals.

On the cusp of this kind of sealing, as long as the princes who care about their lives, they will pay attention to the battle situation.

Even if it is a small battle, it will attract attention, not to mention the epic battle in which Jiang Yiyuan's troops were defeated, which has a great impact.

First of all, in southern Xinjiang, after receiving the news of Jiang Yiyuan's defeat, Pang Yi didn't think about tea and dinner, and hurriedly discussed countermeasures with Jiang Yiqu.

Before setting out on the expedition, Jiang Yiyuan had already made it very clear that if this battle was not won, it was Pang Yi who lost, and it was Southern Xinjiang that lost.

No wonder Pang Yi was in a hurry, he had already understood this truth.

After finding Jiang Yiqu, Pang Yi hurriedly asked him for advice, Jiang Yiqu did not hesitate, and said directly: "Lord, we only have conscription!" ”

"How much can we recruit now?"

Pang Yi asked.

Jiang Yiqu said: "Hui Zhugong, with our current ability, without affecting the normal development of the economy and agriculture in southern Xinjiang, we can expand the army by 100,000, plus our garrisons in various places in southern Xinjiang, it is 300,000.... ”

"What if... If we abandon agriculture, we can increase the number of troops by 200,000, but our grain and grass will only last for a year; If you abandon the economy and offend the great families, you can increase the army by another 200,000, and at that time... We will have internal and external troubles, and we will be in constant trouble.... ”

"In other words, if it really doesn't work, when it comes to life and death, we can take out 700,000 troops, but..."

I have to say that Jiang Yiqu is a good hand in internal affairs, and at any time, when his mind moves, he can accurately estimate the strength of his own territory, and he is like a treasure for every grass and tree in southern Xinjiang.

If it were any other person, he would not be able to answer Pang Yi's question so accurately.

Pang Yi took a deep breath, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know." ”

Pang Yi said: "Let's not talk about the rest, first gather the soldiers and horses from all over southern Xinjiang and send them to the front line to help the war, and then continue to recruit troops, first expand the army by 300,000!" ”

"What? Three hundred thousand? Lord, are you sure you want to expand the army by 300,000? ”

Jiang Yiqu seems to be a little worried that once the army is expanded by 300,000, then southern Xinjiang will only be able to support it for a year, and he has made it very clear just now that once the army is expanded by 300,000, after a year, southern Xinjiang will face a dilemma.

Pang Yi sighed: "It's not okay not to expand the army, it's not that you haven't listened to the military report from the front, Yiyuan's army was defeated, and more than 200,000 troops were lost before and after, and all the cavalry were burned, if you want to fight this battle again, then you must win by numbers, 300,000... Maybe it's all less. ”

Jiang Yiqu smiled bitterly and nodded: "Okay, then obey the order and expand the army by 300,000 first." ”

"But... His Majesty would like to remind the lord that once the army is expanded by 300,000, we only have one year, and if we cannot defeat a strong enemy within a year, southern Xinjiang will face a dilemma. ”

"I know, you can do it."

Pang Yi nodded.

"No."

Jiang Yiqu sighed, no matter what, he can't refute Pang Yi's decision, the fate of southern Xinjiang is still in the hands of Pang Yi, and this cannot be changed.

"Report..."

"Come in."

Suddenly, a soldier outside reported that Pang Yi called him in.

After the soldier came in, he knelt down and said, "My lord, the military advisor is in a hurry." ”

As he spoke, the soldier took out a letter and held it above his head.

"Pick it up."

Pang Yi made a move, and the soldiers on the side stepped forward to hand over the letter, Pang Yi took it in his hand, nodded after reading it, and said to Jiang Yiqu: "Yiyuan said in the letter that he wants me to increase his troops by 200,000, and he urgently needs troops now." ”

Jiang Yiqu got up: "I know, I'll do it." ”

"Well, go ahead."

Imperial capital.

Hundreds of miles outside the city.

Ling Feng personally sat here, and did not attack the city in January, but guarded his camp with Han Ziyu.

To be precise, when Zhang Wu and Han Yong led the army to the western Xinjiang, Ling Feng originally wanted to attack the city, but Han Ziyu said that there was no need to be so anxious, as soon as Zhang Wu left, the army lost a strong field army.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the current strength is not enough, after Zhang Wu left, there are 110,000 people left in the camp, but there are 200,000 in the imperial capital, don't underestimate the 200,000 in Zayadu, the soldiers in Western Xinjiang are all good at fighting and are good at cavalry, if the enemy is desperate, it is really a bit troublesome.

In addition, the current situation is very good, after the great victory in western Xinjiang, there is another great victory in southern Xinjiang, and it doesn't hurt to wait a little longer.

"Yu Qinglong won the battle, Liao Yun also won the battle, it was really unexpected, originally the task I gave them was just to stick to it, hehe... Who knows that they can't stand the loneliness, and they insist on fighting the enemy. ”

Ling Feng was both surprised and delighted, and after laughing, he looked at Han Ziyu on the side and said, "Ziyu, what to do next, do you have a number?" ”

"Why do you ask me, don't you already have the answer in your heart?"

Han Ziyu ignored it, lying on the desk and fiddling with his formation, in fact, he was fiddling with a few chopsticks, putting the chopsticks into various patterns, and then constantly changing.

"Okay, don't fiddle with your broken chopsticks, fiddling around, it's not useless, I can't point to it at a critical time, let's think of a way, see how to break the imperial capital, this is our top priority."

As soon as he saw those chopsticks, Ling Feng was a little annoyed, it had been a month, Han Ziyu fiddled with it almost as soon as he had time, the parties were not annoyed, and everyone was a little annoyed to see it.

"Haha... Lord, you can't say that, my formation is not something that anyone can pose, and it's not useless, maybe... There will be a place for use in the future. ”

Han Ziyu said: "As for breaking through the imperial capital... I have personally been to the city to see that the enemy has thickened several layers, all of which are made of stainless steel, and it will definitely not be able to be blasted with zha bombs, unless the city walls can collapse. ”
