So the main force of the Southern Dynasty secretly bypassed the surveillance of our army, raided Donglan Fort, and besieged King Su? ”

When the latest news arrived, Tianqiwei was slowly heading towards the new Chang'an a hundred miles away, and in the comfortable carriage, Xu Rui frowned and asked An Ge.

As soon as he received the previous battle report and learned that King Su was besieged, Xu Rui sent An Ge to contact Jinyiwei's secret channels to inquire about the news, and in just one night, An Ge got more detailed information.

"As the young master said, after the defeat, the remnants of the main force of the Wuling pro-army deliberately made a gesture of retreating southward, using the hundreds of thousands of Southern Korean troops on the southeast front to launch a surprise attack at any time.

At the beginning, the two marshals Xiao and Liu thought that they were not dead in their thieving intentions and wanted to cooperate with the Southern Korean army on the southeast front to continue to attack our army, but they did not see their movements for several days, which aroused the suspicion of our army.

The two marshals then sent scouts to investigate deeply, only to find that Quang Ninh Province had become an empty city, and tens of thousands of Wuling pro-troops had long since disappeared.

At this moment, the wolf smoke in Liangzhou was everywhere, and the news of the siege of Donglan Fort came. ”

Xu Rui asked again: "How many days has King Su been besieged?" How's it going? Also, did the hundreds of thousands of elites of the Southern Dynasties on the Southeast Front make a move? ”

An Ge said: "The news says that King Su has been besieged for two days, but the news itself is three days ago, and it has been at least five or six days, and it is not clear the situation of Donglan Fort, as for the hundreds of thousands of Southern Dynasty elites on the southeast front, there is no information yet." ”

Hearing this, Xu Rui nodded: "Since the hundreds of thousands of elites of the Southern Dynasty on the southeast front have not acted, it means that Ben Shuai's previous judgment is not wrong, King Wuling deliberately shook a shot not really to fight, but just to plan for Wuling's pro-army to return to China as soon as possible." ”

As he spoke, his eyes fell on the map, and his brows furrowed again: "But this is strange, since I am not mistaken, why didn't the Wuling pro-army honestly return to Xichuan, but killed a horse pistol and went around to Liangzhou again?" ”

An Ge scratched his scalp and said: "I can't figure it out either, according to the words of returning to the Southern Dynasty, taking the Xichuan Sea Route is the least risky, if you pass through Donglan Fort, you will have to enter the 100,000 Mountains, which is faster, but that road is not easy to walk, I heard that it is like the flowing green mountains in winter, and many people will die." ”

Xu Rui was slightly stunned, as if a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in his mind, and he exclaimed: "You're right, walking 100,000 mountains can be at least half a month faster than the road of Xichuan, and what they want to fight for is this half a month!" ”

An Ge was stunned and said: "Young master, the number of Wuling's pro-army is limited, all of them are treasures, and they are willing to exchange their lives for time?" Besides, even if they take the road of Xichuan, Xiao and Liu are helpless against them, could it be that they already knew that we would be behind our backs? ”

Xu Rui shook his head, his brows gradually relaxed, and sneered: "Our army is limited in numbers, even if Xichuan is quickly pacified, it is impossible to really leave all the Wuling pro-army behind, compared to it, I am afraid that the number of people who will die by walking the road of 100,000 mountains will be several times more."

They didn't care about our little Apocalypse Guard, nor did they worry about being surrounded and suppressed by the two marshals Xiao and Liu, they had a reason to do so. ”

"It's not that I'm worried about us, and I'm not worried about Xiao and Liu, so why are they doing this?"

An Ge asked puzzled.

Xu Rui half lay on the soft backrest and muttered: "After the battle of the valley, I did an operational analysis, and found that the commander who commanded the Wuling pro-army this time is very similar to the commander who fought with me in the last battle of Jingyang, and it is likely to be the same person.

This person fights quickly, is very good at taking advantage of the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy, and launches surprise attacks, and once he is targeted, it is difficult to get rid of it, but this person also has a major characteristic, that is, he is calm-headed, too steady in the use of troops, and rarely takes risks.

But this time it was different, their choice to take the route of the 100,000 Mountains was extremely dangerous, which was very similar to his usual strategy of using troops, and it was more like a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry! ”

"What is it that can force them to jump over the wall?"

An Ge was curious.

Xu Rui sneered: "There is only one possibility, that is, they are inside, probably something big happened in the Southern Dynasty, so that they must return to China as soon as possible even if they pay a big sacrifice, this kind of thing can't be hidden, you use secret channels to inform Xiao and Liu as soon as possible, let them quickly find out about this matter." ”

An Ge was stunned: "Since it is an internal matter of the Southern Dynasty, is there a way for the two marshals Xiao and Liu to find out?" ”

Xu Rui smiled: "You also underestimate these two elders, one of them is the secretary of the military department, and the other is the right governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and they have unimaginable resources in their hands, even if we don't have a secret chess, but the saint will not even have a fine work in the Southern Dynasty?" ”

An Ge suddenly said: "I understand, since we also have detailed work in the Southern Dynasty, then maybe the two marshals Xiao and Liu have already got the relevant information!" ”

Xu Rui nodded: "That's what it means, I just want them to show me the information, so that I can judge the real movements of the Southern Dynasty." ”

An Ge nodded, and said: "What should be done on King Kesu's side, they only have thousands of men and horses, can they withstand the onslaught of tens of thousands of troops in the Southern Dynasty?" ”

Xu Rui sighed and said: "King Su is besieged, not only Liangzhou, I'm afraid that the two generals Xiao and Liu will do their best to rescue with all their might, we can't manage it even if we want to, and now I'm really worried about this matter." ”

As he spoke, Xu Rui's brows furrowed again, and he muttered: "Our dynasty has been suppressed by the Southern Dynasty all these years, and the signal released by the Wuling pro-army jumping over the wall this time is too strong, if something really happens to the Southern Dynasty, it will be the best time for the saint to dominate the world!" ”

"Isn't that great, what is the young master still worried about?"

An Ge asked in surprise.

Xu Rui shook his head and said: "It's because the signal they released is too strong, but it seems to be deliberately acted, I'm afraid that this is another trap for King Wuling."

In the past few months, not only have the 12 guards of the Beijing Division, who had just recovered some of their vitality, been beaten to the brink again, but the provinces were also greatly damaged, and the treasury must have been about to be emptied in order to support this war.

The biggest advantage of our dynasty over the southern dynasty is its national strength, but this battle greatly depleted the national strength of the Great Wei, even if we won the battlefield, but at the strategic level, it was still a fiasco, and it was a fiasco to the point.

Therefore, it is now necessary to end the war as soon as possible, quell the turmoil, and resume production, which is the most fundamental and urgent task.

But now, if there is really an opportunity to unify the world, I am really worried that the Holy Lord, who has been holding back for so many years, will not be able to help but bet all the chips, once he falls into the trap of King Wuling, then the Great Wei will not be far from destroying the country.

What's more, even if we take a step back, something big really happened in the Southern Dynasty and gave us the opportunity to dominate the world, but as long as the war drags on for a long time, the national strength of the Great Wei will be further consumed, and the military superiority of the Southern Dynasty will be further reflected, and in the end, it is we who will be dragged down first. ”

"No, young master, isn't there a loss in the war between the two countries, why should we be the first to be dragged down if we continue to fight?"

"It's very simple, because we are not well prepared, before leaving Beijing, I proposed to fight a war of attrition with the Southern Dynasties, but the premise is to clear the wilderness, stretch the supply lines of the Southern Dynasties, and crush their weak logistics supplies.

However, in this war, we were not able to clear the wilderness, and the Southern Dynasty took what they needed in the hinterland of our country, and fed the war with war, and in the end they did not pay anything except for the loss of tens of thousands of horses, which is what I said about military superiority.

On the other hand, our country has not only lost more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, but also the people of nearly 10 provinces have suffered military disasters and been displaced, and the grain stocks in various places have been looted by the army of the Southern Dynasties.

This is like a vicious circle, the further we go, the greater the losses of our army, no matter how strong the national strength is, it will be difficult to support, and the military superiority of the Southern Dynasties will become more and more obvious, and the results are not obvious? ”

After a long conversation, An Ge finally took Xu Rui's order and left in a hurry, but Xu Rui stared at the map for a long time, and after a long while, he shook his head, put the map away, and then said lightly to the empty carriage.

"Come out, it's been a hard journey."
