There is a hint of ease ...... throwing away the burden.

Baili Wuji stepped forward, and Chai Rong stretched out his hand.

The two men greeted each other with their arms in arms.

At this moment, the officers and men of the New Army and the officers and men of the Zhou Army were also greeting each other and talking happily.

In their minds, they thought the time had finally come to fight back.

The two of them retreated left and right and officially cut to the chase.

"Second brother, Wei and the original two states cannot be defended, I suggest that we withdraw the troops as soon as possible, and don't let the soldiers die in Weizhou City in vain." Baili Wuji is still not worried about the thousands of soldiers in Weizhou City.

Chai Rong was obviously stunned, and Baili Wuji's words suddenly simmered what he wanted to say in his mouth.

Chai Rong originally wanted to discuss with Baili Wuji the matter of the Ming and Zhou armies jointly guarding Wei and the original two states, and Chai Rong was even ready to divide the Wei and the original two states with the Ming State after the war.

But Baili Wuji took the lead in opening his mouth to let him retreat, which was very different from what Chai Rong thought in his heart.

Chai Rong was very disappointed, he was unwilling and decided to have a showdown with Baili Wuji.

"Big brother, the territory of the Zhou State is not as vast as the Ming State, and every state is the foundation of the Zhou State, just in the past few months, the Liao army has invaded more than a dozen states of the Zhou State, and if I don't think of recovering it, I have no shame to face the subjects of the Zhou State, and I have no shame to worship the spirit of my father-in-law in the sky. Wei and the original two states must be defended, if the eldest brother insists on refusing to be controlled by the Ming army, then I can only defend it alone with the strength of the Zhou State. ”

Baili Wuji saw that Chai Rong was resolute, and he also moved out of Guo Wei, knowing that he really couldn't ignore this matter.

The so-called lips and teeth are cold, if the Zhou State falls, the Ming State will face the Liao army's soldiers.

The Zhou State must not be allowed to die in the hands of the Liao State, this is the bottom limit. Baili Wuji secretly said in his heart.

Chai Rong was silent when he saw Baili Wuji. Thinking that Baili Wuji might be persuaded, he asked people to get a map.

Spreading out the map in front of Baili Wuji, Chai Rong pointed to Wei and Yuan Erzhou and said to Baili Wuji: "Wei and Yuan Erzhou have already fallen into the hands of the Liao army. I don't have this plan, but now that it has been recovered by the Zhou army, I can't give up, big brother, please look at the map. ”

"The current situation in Wei and Yuan Erzhou is sinister, I naturally know, but the location of Erzhou is just in the middle of the upper and lower Liao armies, as long as the two states are defended, the upper and lower Liao armies will not be able to meet. This is the most critical. The Liao army is strong, and if the two Liao armies meet, there is no city in our country that can resist the front of the 200,000 army. Moreover. If the Liao Army on the upper and lower routes transfers troops to attack Wei and Yuanzhou, then the pressure on our army on the first line of Yinzhou and the first line of Fengxiangfu will be reduced, and the consolidation of these two lines will make our country invincible. What does Big Brother think? ”

Baili Wuji was a little surprised, Chai Rong's words were not unreasonable. If you can really hold the two states of Wei and Yuan. The meeting of the Liao army on the upper and lower roads will be blocked, but the question is whether Wei and Yuan Erzhou can withstand the attack of 200,000 Liao troops? If you can't stand it, it's a waste of death and worthless. This is not the lives of thousands of people, if the Ming State participates, to resist the 200,000 Liao army, the two countries must invest at least more than 100,000 troops here, this is the foundation of the Ming and Zhou countries.

Baili really didn't want to fight a decisive battle with the Liao army in Wei and Yuan Erzhou, in Baili Wuji's heart. This is not in the interests of the Ming Kingdom.

But he didn't want to hit Chai Rong's confidence, this matter really made Baili Wuji unable to choose.

Think about it. Baili Wuji looked up at Chai Rong, who was excited, and said, "Second brother, don't worry, tell me what you think first." ”

Chai Rong saw that Baili Wuji did not refuse on the spot, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly pointed to the map and said: "Big brother, please look, if I arrange the 50,000 forbidden troops now stationed in Fangzhou in Wei, Yuan, and Ningzhou, plus the 5,000 champions in Weizhou, the 40,000 defenders in Ningzhou, and gather nearly 100,000 troops to defend it, it should not be difficult to support it for a month or two." ”

Baili Wuji nodded to Xiang, with the solidity of the cities of Wei, Yuan and Ningzhou, and the defense of 100,000 Zhou troops, as long as there is no accident, it can indeed withstand the north-south attack of part of the Liao army, and the Liao army cannot come with 200,000 troops, because Yinzhou and Fengxiang Mansion are fighting on two fronts, if the Liao army gathers to attack Wei and Yuan, then the Zhou army in Yinzhou and Fengxiang Mansion alone will pursue it, so, according to Baili Wuji's estimate, the Liao army on the upper and lower roads will each draw up to 50,000 troops, a total of 100,000 people, to attack Wei and The original two states, maybe even less.

Baili Wuji asked, "What does the second brother want our army to do?" ”

Chai Rong saw Baili Wuji nodding, and his confidence was a little stronger, and he continued: "According to my assumption, I need the eldest brother to help do two things, one is that when the Zhou army withstood the Liao army's north-south attack in Wei and Yuan Erzhou, at this time, the Ming army can counterattack northward from the three roads of Long, Jian, and Bi in the original Shu Dilong, Jian, and Bizhou, so that the Liao army on the lower road cannot take care of each other. The second is ....... ”

Chai Rong suddenly stopped talking.

Baili Wuji was a little impatient, and said: "The second brother has something to say, don't swallow and spit out." ”

Chai Rong was a little embarrassed and said: "I also want to ask my eldest brother to give me more firearms to help Wei and the original two states defend the city." ”

Baili Wuji twitched the corners of his mouth and said: "The second brother has also become unreal, last year, the firearms sold by Ming Guo to Zhou Guo privately were enough for you to equip 30,000 people, what, you are not enough?" ”

Chai Rong blushed and said: "I know that this must be the order of the eldest brother, but now it is far from enough to equip 30,000 people, garrison the three cities with an army of 100,000, and ask the eldest brother to give more." ”

Baili Wuji smiled and said: "Put this aside in advance, you go on first, I heard you mean that the Ming Kingdom is going north from the three states of Long, Jian, and Bi, but as far as I know, the three states of Long, Jian, and Bi are being blocked from attacking, and the strength of the Ming State on the front line of Chengdu Mansion is only enough to maintain defense, and there is no offensive force." ”

Chai Rong saw that Baili Wuji did not refuse, and he was sure in his heart, and then said: "Big brother, there are more than 40,000 Ming troops stationed outside the city now, which is enough to attack the north and south of the Blockade Army, so that the Blockade Army will be defeated within two months, and by then, the Zhou army defending the Wei and Yuan two cities must have been exhausted, and the Ming Army is just going north to reinforce." ”

Baili Wuji completely understood what Chai Rong meant, he wanted to use Wei and Yuan Erzhou as a sharp blade from east to west to separate the Liao army from the meeting, attracting the Liao army from the north and the south. Adopt the strategy of flowering in the center to turn Wei and Yuan Erzhou into flesh and blood mills, and consume the living force of the Liao army. And another function is to try to reduce the defensive pressure on the two fronts of Yinzhou and Fengxiang Mansion, so that Zhou Guo can take a breath.

Baili Wuji was somewhat moved by Chai Rong's words, although this plan is bold and risky, it does have a certain amount of truth.

The key point is that the Ming army can defeat or even annihilate the Ming army's confrontation with the Ming army in the three states of Long, Jian, and Bi within two months. (To be continued......)
