"I wonder what the Privy Council has to say about the war between the Shatuo people and Nanyang?" Shang Yunxi asked cautiously.

"At present, we dare not easily assert that the Shatuo people may be able to gallop across the Central Plains, but after crossing the line of Huaishui and Tongbai Mountain, Funiu Mountain, and Fangcheng Mountain, can their cavalry superiority still be reflected? ”

Wang Miao also knew that Shang Yunxi and Zhu Mi also wanted to figure out how much time they could have to operate in the future when the Heshuo war started, half a year and a year, a year and three years, and the strategies adopted were very different.

"Also, the true strength of the Nanyang army is still difficult to judge, it is rumored that their magician strength is very strong, and they have also been promoting the synthesis of combat between the magician troops and the infantry, we have always been curious about this, I don't know what Nanyang has achieved in this regard. ”

"Judging from Nanyang's conquest of Anchu Erzhou and the breaking of Shenzhou, it seems that the strength of the Nanyang army is still not weak, but judging from the war between them and Caizhou, it seems that there is a feeling of vain, which is very puzzling. ”

Shang Yunxi is also a general, and he was one of the strongest in the probation army, so he is no stranger to the performance of the Nanyang Army in the past.

"Well, that's what we don't judge well. Wang Miao agreed with Shang Yunxi's opinion, "But fighting in the mountains, it is estimated that the Nanyang army should have some advantages, such as the mountain barbarians they formed, it is said that they are extremely good at fighting in the mountains, if the Shatuo people do not deal with it seriously, they may have to suffer." ”

"If the Shatuo people can successfully break through the line of Luyang Pass in the north of the Nanyang Basin and enter the Nanyang Basin, then maybe Erliu will not be able to escape, and Nanyang can only rely on the line of mountains and hills to fight if he wants to withstand the Shatuo people. Shang Yunxi's tone was affirmative, "On the contrary, if the Shatuo people want to solve Nanyang, they must also find a way to break through the mountain obstacles in the Nanyang Basin. ”

"Everything can happen, we can't underestimate the wisdom of the Shatuo people, they can lay nails inside the girder, and cleverly use the problems inside the girder to finally defeat the girder in one fell swoop, which is enough to show that they have already begun to lay out, I think Nanyang is afraid that it will not be an exception. Wang Miao's tone was cautious, "There is a contradiction between the two Lius, will the Shatuo people take advantage of it?"

"At this time, I'm afraid that Er Liu will also give up his previous suspicions and join hands to defend against the enemy, right?" Zhu Mi hesitated for a moment, "They should know that this is a battle related to the life and death of the Liu family, if they can't even work together themselves, how can they expect help from the outside?"

"Hmph, but some people are usually high-minded, but they are extremely short-sighted at critical moments, but this doesn't matter much to us, we just need to do our own thing. ”

Wang Miao is not optimistic about Er Liu, of course, he will not oppose Liu Xuan's marriage and return to Guangzhou, now Xuzhou has been invincible, unless now the Shatuo people and the Khitan people join forces to launch a war against Xuzhou, otherwise the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it is to Xuzhou, as long as the Shatuo people fight against Nanyang, it means that Xuzhou can win at least more than a year.

"For us, as long as the war between Nanyang and the Shatuo people starts, it means that we can not worry about the threat of the Shatuo people to us for a long time, we can deal with the Khitans wholeheartedly, and we can concentrate on seeking development in Heshuo. ”

Shang Yunxi and Zhu Mi both heard Wang Miao's voice, needless to say about dealing with the Khitans, everyone understands that the Khitans go south, and Xuzhou will bear the brunt of the development outside Heshuo, but the meaning of seeking development in Hebei is rich, can it be said that the three states of Di, Cang, and De, or Henghai Town are not the ultimate goal?

Seeing the two of them looking over, Wang Miao did not shy away from saying: "Chengde Town is currently the worst town among the three towns of Heshuo, needless to say, Zhang Chujin actually can't control these three states at all, I have been staying in the three states a few days ago, the armies of these three states are confused, if our army enters these three states, I believe that we can take the three states without much effort, the key is our control of the three states in the future, how to make these three states a bridgehead to resist the Khitans." ”

"I'm afraid it's not advisable to be passively defensive, but can the privy council make other ideas?" Zhu Mi continued.

"Well, the Privy Council has some ideas. Wang Miao said calmly: "We have to consider the worst aspect, that is, once the Khitans annex Lulong Town, then how should we deal with it, and how can we take the initiative to deal with the Khitans?"

"Hutuo Shui?!" Zhu Mi thought for a moment and said with a frown.

"Yes, my personal opinion, I'm afraid it is to use Hutuoshui and Zhangshui as the defense line to intercept the Khitan iron cavalry. Wang Miao knew that Zhu Mi was very familiar with the topography of Hebei, so he said directly: "Zhangshui is the second line of defense, we should go forward, with Hutuoshui as the first line of defense, of course, if we can extend further west, then we can block the Khitans in Lulong Town." ”

Shang Yunxi and Zhu Mi both heard Wang Miao's intentions, and smiled knowingly: "Wang Shumi, are you going to take down the entire Chengde Town?"

"If you can, why not?" Wang Miao asked rhetorically: "The location of the prefectures of Chengde Town is very important, just between Lu Long and Wei Bo, and taking Chengde Town can build a defense line on the Hebei Plain,......

"This line of defense is not easy to defend, Hutuo water and Zhangshui are barely available, but further west, the stretch is too long, and Hutuo water is only a large amount of water in the wet period, in the dry season, the cavalry can easily cross the Hutuo water, it is difficult to hinder the role, once the field battle is formed, the Khitan cavalry can exert the greatest power. Zhu Mi is very familiar with the topography of the Hebei Plain, and he is a little unimpressed.

"Then we need to control Chengde Town even more, relying on Fangshan - Zhending - Jiumen - Wuji - Shenze - Anping - Hejian - Moxian line to block the Khitans, the Khitan cavalry is strong, but on the one hand, we strengthen the defense capability of the city on this line, I guess you should also know something, our magic material official academy has achieved great results in some aspects, and there is a great breakthrough in consolidating the defense of the city, on this basis, our own cavalry, as well as the Tuyuhun people can also become a big help, I believe that we can compete with the Khitan iron cavalry. ”

"Do the Tuyuhun people really plan to join in?" Shang Yunxi and Zhu Mi were both stunned, the Tuyuhun people are also Hu people, although they are not on good terms with the Khitan, but in such a big war, how can the Tuyuhun people easily get involved?

"I have asked the king of the county to marry Princess Mulan of the Tuyuhun people. Wang Miao said lightly: "At this time, Zhang Huang and Master Zhang should already be on the way to Wuzhou." ”

"Huh?" Shang Yunxi and Zhu Mi were both overjoyed after being shocked, "This is a great thing, if we can marry the Tuyuhun people, then the Tuyuhun people can cause a lot of trouble for the Khitans on the flank, and even assist us in launching a fatal blow in their back." ”

"It's not that simple, and it's impossible for the Tuyuhun people to hand over the lives of their own people to the county king just because the county king married Princess Mulan, but this can indeed bring the relationship between the two of us closer, and they will join in when the Tuyuhun people feel that it is beneficial to them. "Wang Miao is confident.

"Then what do we need to do?" Getting back to business, Shang Yunxi already had a general understanding of the purpose of Wang Miao's visit this time.

"Take the three states of Dicangde in the shortest possible time, and then wait for the opportunity to attack Jizhou, Shenzhou and Xuanzhou, and control the first line of Hutuoshui. Wang Miao said in a deep voice: "Cangzhou, the Privy Council will arrange for Luo Yin and Luo Ye brothers to deal with you, Dongguang Luo is willing to belong to the county king, with the support of Luo, I believe that Canzhou can be pulled over." ”

Dengzhou Penglai.

Looking far away, Lu Qiming put his hands behind his back, and after a long time, he withdrew his gaze, turned around and asked, "Do you know what the intention of the county king has not used you?"

"I don't know. The man standing next to Lu Qiming had a red face, and his hands full of cracks and wrinkles were extremely rough, but they were full of strength.

"Without him, you are of great use. Lu Qiming's eyes were like torches, "The East China Sea pirates are rampant in the East China Sea, I don't know if you are familiar with Wuhu Sea?"

The strong man grinned, "My lord said and laughed, I am waiting for my life, where I can beg for food, I will go there, how can I care if he is in the East China Sea or the Wuhu Sea or the Bohai Sea? ”

"Hehe, you're a cheerful person, well, the Privy Council has an order to make you wait to prepare for cross-sea combat, do you have the guts?" Lu Qiming smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"Why do you say this, my lord? A certain thing itself is a meal at sea, and fighting across the sea is also a proper meaning, I don't know where the adults want me to go?" The strong man was mentally prepared and asked brazenly: "Silla, or Japan?" No, the situation on the Silla side is chaotic now, and I heard that Goguryeo is conquering Silla, and it seems that Silla is already a little unable to support it. ”

"No, we can't take care of that side for the time being, the Privy Council intends to let you land in the area of Pingzhou and Yingzhou to attack and fight. Lu Qiming said: "Is it possible?"

"The king of the county wants to deal with the Khitans?" the strong man was surprised: "The Khitan people are not easy to deal with, now the Xi and the Jin people have been conquered by the Khitans, Pingzhou and Yingzhou are now the territory of the Khitan people, and the Jin people have now changed their names, called Jurchen, the Khitan people are gradually going south, and there are more Khitan people in Jizhou." ”

"Is there a good harmony between the Tatar people and the Khitans?" Lu Qiming was very interested in these situations.

"I can't talk about it, but the mature Jurchen is basically attached to the Khitans, but the Jurchens are a little unruly, the Khitans demand a lot from them, and the Jurchens often resist, but now the Khitan people are powerful, and the Jurchens don't dare to resist. The strong man sighed with emotion, "Among my brothers, there are also the Yan and Xi people, their people are basically controlled by the Khitans, even if they are resentful of the Khitans, but they can't ignore their own people to die." ”
