Chapter 301: Stealing Beams and Changing Pillars
The army of Qingcang Kingdom is mainly cavalry, and the speed of marching is often much faster than that of infantry, and the journey of more than 200 miles can often be reached in two days.
At present, what they and Fuyang know is that the troops of Qingcang State are stationed in Black Rock City, and there is a great possibility that they will soon raise troops to invade Xingzhao Kingdom.
If Murong Yu suddenly turned his troops to attack the Fuyang Kingdom, they would not have time to deploy defenses at all, just like when they suddenly sent troops to attack the northern part of the Xingzhao Kingdom before.
Xing Tianze suddenly realized a problem, the soldiers and horses of the Qingcang Kingdom were far more than the 350,000 soldiers and horses that had fought against him before, but most of them were in the hands of Yuwen Xingkong.
However, according to reliable information, Yuwen Xingkong was found to be rebelling in his own mansion, so the military power in his hands did not have time to make any difference.
Now that Yuwen Xingkong is dead, according to Nangong Yuan's character, he must have concentrated all the soldiers and horses in his own hands.
He personally stationed troops in Black Rock City just to make people believe that he was going to attack the Xingzhao Kingdom so that Murong Yu could preside over the government in the imperial capital.
Coupled with the national strength of the Fuyang Kingdom among the Three Kingdoms, the rest of the people must think that the Qingcang Kingdom will only choose the opportunity to gnaw on the hard bone of Fuyang after destroying the Xingzhao Kingdom first.
As everyone knows, Nangong Yuan's intention has always been Fuyang Kingdom, and he is playing a trick of cultivating the plank road and secretly Chen Cang, reversing everyone's directional thinking.
If this plan is really successful, no one can say how much loss the Fuyang Kingdom will have, because of the soldiers, horses, grain and grass hoarded in Black Rock City, there is no possibility for the Xingzhao Kingdom to sneak attack the rear of the Qingcang Kingdom.
Wuxian listened carefully to Xing Tianze's analysis and shook his head slightly, because he concluded that this kind of strategy to steal beams and change pillars was definitely not something that Nangong Yuan could come up with, it was definitely the handiwork of his emperor Murong Yu.
With the overall situation of Qingcang Kingdom decided, Murong Yu, the commander who once commanded the three armies of Baiyue and resisted the alliance of the Three Kingdoms, finally reached the moment when he could shine in the chess game of the world.
"Is it necessary for me to inform the monarch of Fuyang?" Xing Tianze was quite worried.
"Why remind them?" Without a trace stared at the map on the table: "It will take at least ten days for Lin Yan to hurry back to the imperial capital of Fuyang Kingdom, and it will take at least five days for Emperor Fuyang to raise troops and horses to mobilize ordnance, grain and grass, but it must be in a hurry for Qingcang Kingdom to suddenly raise troops, and besides, the distance between Shicheng and Heiyan City is very long, and it will take at least twelve days for Nangong Yuan to arrive." ”
Xing Tianze didn't express any opinions, just quietly looked at Wuxi, such a detailed analysis really couldn't be reached in half a morning.
In other words, Traceless had already taken these issues into account before Murong Yu stationed troops in Shicheng at the latest.
"Lord Wang, please see, although there are not many mountains and rivers in the east of Fuyang Kingdom, but in the place of these two counties and five cities in the east, it will take fifteen days for Nangong Yuan to attack it at the earliest, and besides, there is also a natural danger river in Fuyang Kingdom that divides the land one day." Traceless fingers kept drawing on the map.
"Fuyang Kingdom is guarded by some 100,000 sailors here, and in addition, there are all kinds of mountains and deep ravines, and they can completely refuse to defend them, and when this is the cavalry under Murong Yu and Nangong Yuan, they want to go further, but it will be really difficult to reach the sky." Without a trace, he analyzed the entire battle situation inside and out in one breath.
Xing Tianze looked at the layout on the map seriously, and what he said without a trace was right, the territory of Fuyang Kingdom was extremely complex and changeable, even if Qingcang Kingdom really defeated these two counties and five cities.
Then the war horses under the crotch of their cavalry will not be able to cross this great river of Fuyang Kingdom, and the 100,000 sailors they are stationed here are enough to make Qingcang Kingdom drink a pot.
Whether it is Nangong Yuan or Murong Yu, they are all smart people, they will not give up their saddle horses and go to the boat, but if they want to cross this natural danger, they must fight to the death with the 100,000 sailors of Fuyang Kingdom.
What should they do? It must take three months to build a large ship at the earliest, but the experience of water warfare of sailors cannot be obtained overnight, and it must be accumulated over many years.
However, most of the army of Qingcang Kingdom is land-based, and if they board a big ship and encounter strong winds and waves, they will definitely get seasick, and their combat ability will be greatly reduced.
"How many soldiers and horses do you think Qingcang Kingdom will mobilize in Stone City this time?" Xing Tianze asked lightly.
"No more, no less, a full 500,000!" Traceless's tone was very sure, and there was no hint of speculation.
The two counties and five cities of Fuyang Kingdom have a total of 400,000 people, and each city is guarded by more than 30,000 garrisons, but if you want to conquer these cities, then Nangong Yuan must need 500,000 soldiers and horses and horses.
If it weren't for that, Murong Yu wouldn't have secretly sent soldiers and horses, and Nangong Yuan wouldn't have to stage this drama for the people of the world in Black Rock City.
Xing Tianze took a deep breath, turned around and walked to the other side, picked up a cup of tea and drank it.
"Is the prince thinking about whether to take the initiative to invite Ying and lead a group of soldiers and horses to take Cangguo by surprise?" Traceless turned around and asked.
"This king really has such a mind." Xing Tianze held the teacup in one hand, and held the tea lid in the other hand and tapped it gently: "Nangong Yuan rushed to Stone City, then there will definitely be a shortage of main generals in Black Rock City, and it is an excellent time for us to make a move." ”
"The prince's words are wrong, if we send troops, Black Rock City is not the first choice." Wuxian walked to the side and took down another map from the bookshelf, and came to Xing Tianze's and spread it on the ground, which was the border map between Xing Zhaoguo and Qingcang Kingdom.
Traceless pointed to the territory of the Qingcang Kingdom and slowly explained that the Qingcang Kingdom had a total of six cities in their south, which were called Nanzhou.
However, if he wanted to take these cities, then Xing Tianze must capture a town called Nanshui.
This is the military town of the entire southern continent of Qingcang Kingdom, with convenient transportation and wide roads.
If the war is together, the soldiers, horses, grain, grass and ordnance transported from the territory of Qingcang must pass through the south water, otherwise they will have to bypass the mountains in the east and travel an additional 400 miles to reach Black Rock City.
"Didn't you foresee all of this a long time ago?" After Xing Tianze hesitated again and again, he still asked the doubts in his heart.
Hearing this, Wuxian was obviously stunned for a moment, and then recovered his emotions and showed a light smile: "That's right, for the great cause of the prince, these things were planned five years ago, and it is a matter of time before the Qingcang Kingdom uses troops." ”
"There were two things that surprised me." Traceless put his hands behind his back: "The first point I didn't expect Yuwen Xingkong to be so powerful, it was a matter of time before he was destroyed by Nangong Yuan, but it was two years later than I expected, and the other point is that I didn't expect Geda and Fen Lin to be so incompetent, I originally thought that no matter how incompetent they were, they would survive until three months later, but I didn't expect to be destroyed so easily." ”
