Chapter 56: Deception (II)
In the Anshan Palace, Zhao Min looked at the embarrassed Zhao Yun and Shan Ting in a daze, and when he was awakened in the middle of the night, he actually heard such bad news, he really hoped that it was just a dream,
Seeing that the king didn't answer his question for a long time, Shan Ting seemed to understand, and muttered with an unusually ugly face: "So......, Xiping has really withdrawn his troops a long time ago." ”
Zhao Yun saw that he was so uninterested and anxious, although he didn't feel good in his heart, but after all, the long-time companion king knew how to raise his eyebrows and eyes.
Zhao Min showed a trace of disgust in his eyes, and he forcibly endured it without a seizure, and instructed the chamberlain: "Quickly summon the military division and the former general into the palace." ”
Jing Xiang came surprisingly fast, and there was no sleepiness on his face.
Zhao Minqiang calmed down and said with a smile: "Isn't it still asleep, it's coming so fast." ”
Although Jing Yuan was also forced to be calm, his face was no longer calm, he glanced at Shan Ting and Zhao Yun, and said solemnly: "The minister has already been rewarded, and I am thinking about whether I should enter the palace to disturb the king's summons." ”
Zhao Min put away his smile when he saw him so serious, "You two will tell the military advisor about the situation again." ”
After listening to Zhao Yun's story, Jing Yu exhaled heavily and said, "He Ran has planned it a long time ago, and everything is acting for us to see." ”
Zhao Min waved his hand to Shan Ting and Zhao Yun, and said, "The two Aiqing have a lot of hard work, let's go down and rest first." ”
After the two of them went down, Zhao Min frowned and said: "Xu Tong led no more than 10,000 people, and the lone army went nearly two hundred miles deep, He Ran is too bold, you can send troops to annihilate it as soon as possible." ”
Jing Yu's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said in a deep voice: "The brigade we used to set up an ambush is three hundred miles away from Suiping, and the minister has already sent an urgent order for them to hurry away, but ...... This military order will not be delivered until noon tomorrow at the earliest, and they will not be able to reach Suiping until two or three days later, and He Ran has already planned, presumably he will launch an offensive on the whole front by tomorrow morning at the latest in order to meet Xu Tong. ”
Zhao Min "hey" said, "This ambush location ......" he didn't say it, this plan to set up an ambush five hundred miles away from Yi Guo was approved by him, and it was originally drafted like this, firstly, the Yi army here could be annihilated in ambush due to the dangerous terrain, and secondly, it was fully considered the combat power of the Yi army, even if it could not win for a while, there was a five-hundred-mile pass mountain barrier, and it was difficult for Yi to send troops to rescue, and now it seems that the original magic hand has become a stinky chess,
Jing Yuan's somewhat embarrassed expression was no longer natural, and the battle with He Ran fell into disadvantage again, too much to disappoint the king's high hopes, and said stubbornly: "The minister has sent people to order all passes to prepare to resist the Yi army desperately, but the strength is probably insufficient, and the only thing that can be used now is the forbidden army stationed outside the city, so please ask the king to move Jingqu City." ”
Moving Jingqu has been discussed a long time ago, Dingyang is too close to Yi and Shun, and it has become a dangerous place after the border pass troops have been repeatedly depleted, but when I first made this plan, I considered more of the situation of the people sending troops, and now the soldiers have not yet dispatched Dingyang will not be guaranteed, how can people not be annoyed,
Zhao Min didn't answer his words immediately, and asked rhetorically: "Have all the troops transferred to guard against Shun have arrived?" ”
"It's all here." Jing Yu smiled bitterly after speaking, "The king should go to Jingqu first, Yi Guo's sudden attack by this means is beyond our expectations, and the war will be difficult in the future, the king cannot be in danger, it is enough for me to deal with him here." ”
"Fanbang won't send troops at this time." Zhao Min was very empty in his heart,
Jing Yu shook his head firmly, and said: "No, it will take some time for them to settle down, and King Fan will never dare to send a large number of people into the Central Plains now, and from the intelligence of all parties, there is no change in the grassland." ”
Zhao Min breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with annoyance: "Originally, we held the handle of attack, how could we become the meat on the anvil of others in the blink of an eye, this He Ran, the widow will kill it." ”
Although these words were scolding He Ran, Jing Yuan heard a fever on his face, and said: "This person is really scheming, we didn't expect him to start a war with us in this way, alas, it seems that the border pass still can't be blocked, I think he also got the news soon after we learned of the withdrawal of the army from Xiping, so he set up this plan, so that all the notions fell on our heads, this is the minister's mistake and the name of the king, please punish the king." ”
Zhao Min waved his hand with a sad face, and said: "Aiqing doesn't have to blame himself, it was unexpected, it's no wonder you, you want to blame He Ran for being too cunning, you concentrate on dealing with the enemy, as for the crime of starting a war...... Finding some excuses to blame each other is, it really can't be said that we have insight into the withdrawal of troops in Xiping is a plan to delay the army, trying to attack it unprepared, and defeat the capital in one fell swoop, and in the case of urgent need of help, we have to lie to Yi Guo about the military situation in order to urge him to send troops as soon as possible, which is really a helpless move, and I don't want Yi Guo to use the heart of a villain as an excuse to suddenly attack us. ”
Jing Yu nodded in a deep voice and said: "In this way, the people of the world will not be able to argue clearly, so the minister suddenly thought of a strategy, but it was just ...... Afraid that the king would mistakenly recognize the cowardice of the ministers, he did not dare to export. ”
"The widow knows that he loves Qing and is loyal to the country, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Zhao Min walked over and patted him on the shoulder cordially,
Jing Yuan pondered for a while, and then said: "There are only a handful of dangers around Dingyang that can be defended, and it is not wise to fight to the death with the enemy in this area, and the people who are close to the cities of Yiguo have been deeply bewitched by its new policy, and the people's will is no longer on our side, and most of the people will change when they start a war, and it is difficult to prevent internal thieves if the defenders sacrifice their lives to serve the dead, these cities are difficult to hold, and it is better to give them up if they resist a little, we have a vast territory, and it is irrelevant to give up some areas for the time being, but we can concentrate our forces to annihilate the enemy division with the dangerous terrain, As long as we can find the opportunity to defeat either side of Yi and Shun, the situation will be reversed, and then it will not only be a matter of recovering the lost territory, but also one of them, so that the people of the world can infer from the loss of cities and land by Zhao Guo that we are defenseless against the Yi State, let alone lure and annihilate its expeditionary army, so that not only can the name of the king be preserved, but also the crime will be pushed on the head of the Yi State with indisputable facts, and it can arouse the indignation of the people and soldiers in the country, and swear to resist the enemy with the same hatred. ”
Zhao Min closed his lips and twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while, and said decisively: "Okay, this plan is feasible, when the former general comes, let's think about it carefully, if we use this strategy, we can't delay, while resisting, transfer the population and materials as soon as possible, we can't let Yi Guo fight stronger and stronger like annexing the city of Shunguo, nothing can be left for them, and we must use more delaying tactics to meet the enemy and win more time, it all depends on Aiqing." ”
Yu Yi Guo's wits repeatedly had the upper hand but still won the trust of the king, Jing Yong was very moved in his heart, bowed down and said: "The minister will never give up." ”
Hearing him suddenly say such heavy words, Zhao Min was stunned for a moment, looked at him like that and immediately understood the reason, looked at him sincerely and nodded,
