Chapter 165: Capital
Remember [Love Go] in a second, and provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Tang Wanyun changed her words and asked, "Next, what are your plans?"
"Capture Jincheng and let Feihua Pavilion pay for its blood debts!" Shangguan Xiu said categorically. 【Love Go】
"Your subordinates have just said that the strength of Jincheng is close to five thousand, and how many troops do you have available now?"
"Six battalions. ”
"With 6,000 against 5,000, a head-to-head confrontation can still have the upper hand, but don't forget, you are now the besieging side, the rebels are the defending side, with 6,000 people to attack the city defended by 5,000 people, do you think you can beat it?" Tang Wanyun glanced at Shangguan Xiu deeply and warned in a word.
It is true that it is written in the book of war that it is three times that of the enemy before the city can be attacked, but the book of war is dead, and people are alive, and on the battlefield they hold on to the book of war, and everything is recorded in the book of war, and they do it one by one, isn't it a nerd?
Shangguan Xiu said with a deep gaze: "If I can fight, I will fight, if I can't fight, I will also fight, Feihua Pavilion I am destroyed, I must give an explanation to my brothers!"
This battle is not only a battle of revenge, but also a battle of Liwei. In Zhenjun, there are more and more rebel forces, but there are fewer and fewer forces supporting the imperial court, and it can be said that so far, only the Jinchuan army is still holding high the banner of the imperial court in Zhenjun.
Your side is surrounded by many enemies, if you suffer a big loss in the hands of Feihua Pavilion this time, and you don't do anything, so that the matter is over, then it seems that your side is too weak and easy to bully, and the surrounding rebels will rise up and attack it, and your situation will be very critical. Defeating the Flying Flower Pavilion and taking Jincheng can not only greatly increase his own morale, but also deter the surrounding rebels, so he has to fight this counterattack no matter what, and he must win.
Tang Wanyun is an outsider after all, and she doesn't think about as many aspects as Shangguan Xiu.
She looked at him strangely, originally in her mind, Shangguan Xiu was a person with a deep heart in the city, but now, his temperament seemed to be impulsive and aggressive.
She didn't say much, she also wanted to see how Shangguan Xiu used his six battalions of troops to capture a city guarded by 5,000 people.
The City Captain's Mansion was holding a funeral, and Shangguan Xiu and everyone went to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss matters in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion. After everyone was seated, Shangguan Xiu spoke first: "Is there a map of Zhangshui County?"
"Yes!" Luo Ren agreed, and hurriedly asked people to take the map of Zhangshui County and hand it to Shangguan Xiu. The latter laid the map on the table and looked down at it.
Jincheng is located at the junction of Zhangshui County and Jinchuan County, in the southeast of Jincheng, is Dexing City, the two cities are more than 200 miles apart.
Shangguan Xiu looked at it for a while, pointed to Dexing City, and asked, "Are the city troops of Dexing City all in Jincheng now?"
Luo Fu hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Most of the city army is in Jincheng, and a small part of the city army is left in Dexing City!"
"Who are the city lords and city captains of Dexing City?"
"The city captain Guan Tong has been assassinated, and now the person in charge of Dexing City is the city lord Wang Cong. I guess that Guan Tong's death is related to the Flying Flower Pavilion, and it was precisely when Wang Cong saw Guan Tong's murder that he was so frightened that he had to surrender to the Flying Flower Pavilion!" Luo Fu said quietly.
Shangguan Xiu listened carefully, and his eyes kept rolling. He asked, "Is Wang Cong still in Dexing City now?"
"Yes, Brother Xiu!"
Shangguan Xiu nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed at Dexing City, and said, "In this battle, we have to use the strategy of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle!"
When everyone heard this, their spirits were shocked, and they all stood up, approached the front, and asked in a gossipy voice, "Brother Xiu, how do you get a salary from the bottom of the kettle?"
Tang Wanyun sat on the chair and didn't move, looking at Shangguan Xiu with interest.
Shangguan Xiu looked around at the people on the left and right, and said categorically: "Take Dexing first, and then take Jincheng." ”
Luo Ren looked down at the map and muttered: "However, Dexing City is in the southeast of Jincheng, if we go directly to attack Dexing City, the rebels of Jincheng will definitely take the opportunity to attack, even if they don't attack us, only intercept the supply of our army, it will be very troublesome!"
As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and if the logistics and supplies cannot keep up, the soldiers in front will have no intention of fighting.
Shangguan Xiu had already thought of a countermeasure, he smiled indifferently and said: "We can first feint to attack Jincheng and force the rebels not to dare to leave the city, and then quietly draw out a battalion of troops to attack Dexing." ”
"Brother Xiu, can you do it with only one battalion?" Luo Ren asked worriedly.
"Since most of the defenders of Dexing City are in Jincheng, then, there must be an emptiness in Dexing City, and the strength of one battalion is enough to win. Shangguan Xiu said confidently: "After taking Dexing, we can take the people of Dexing to Jincheng." Most of the city army are from the people of the city, the Dexing army is naturally no exception, seeing that the people of Dexing are in our hands, the Dexing army in Jincheng will inevitably be in turmoil, and have no intention of fighting again, and when that time comes, we will attack the city on a large scale and take Jincheng, it will be easy!"
After hearing this, everyone nodded and praised Gao Ming, and Tang Wanyun said lightly: "Lord Shangguan, your plan to draw money from the bottom of the kettle is based on being able to sneak attack Dexing, what if the sneak attack fails?"
Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "In my creed, the word 'what if' is not allowed. ”
The corners of Tang Wanyun's mouth raised, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea slowly, and said: "Everyone can say big things, but the more full of words, the easier it is to fail!"
"Haha!" Shangguan Xiu smiled on his back, and said proudly: "The imperial court regards the rebels as tigers and wolves, and I regard the rebels as grass mustard!"
A cold light flashed in Tang Wanyun's eyes, staring at Shangguan Xiu for a moment, she lowered her eyes, but smiled silently, and continued to drink tea slowly.
In the past, she could have killed him without hesitation just by Shangguan Xiu's words, but now, she could only endure it.
Shangguan Xiu once said that when dealing with weak brigades, we must regard them as strong enemies, and when dealing with strong enemies, we must treat them as weak brigades, and this is exactly what he is doing now. The so-called treating a strong enemy as a weak brigade does not really mean ignoring a strong opponent, but a kind of psychological warfare, in order to make one's own soldiers full of confidence in the next battle.
That night, Shangguan Xiu called Luo Fu and Zhao Chen to his room. He said with a straight face: "I need you two to send the brothers of the Dark Banner to infiltrate Dexing City and find out everything in Dexing City." ”
"Brother Xiu, our brother has infiltrated Dexing City. ”
"It's not enough!" Shangguan Xiu said to Zhao Chen: "Zhao Chen, you go around in person to find out what kind of person the city lord Wang Cong is, as well as the number of defenders, the specific composition of the personnel, etc., the more detailed the better!"
"Yes, Brother Xiu!" Zhao Chen replied with a bow. After he was promoted to the deputy flag master of the dark flag, he no longer called Shangguan Xiu an adult, but changed his name to Brother Xiu.
Shangguan Xiu said meaningfully: "Whether we can take Dexing City or not is the key to this battle, and whether we can successfully take Dexing City depends on the intelligence collected by your secret banner." ”
"Brother Xiu, rest assured, his subordinates will definitely find out the situation in Dexing City clearly, clearly, and never let Brother Xiu down!"
Zhao Chen's words were Shangguan Xiu's favorite to hear. He didn't want to hear anything like doing his best, he wanted to hear it if he could or couldn't do it.
He nodded with a smile and said, "Very good, go and do things!"
"Brother Xiu, subordinates retire!" Zhao Chen and Luo Fu saluted Shangguan Xiu together, and then both retreated.
Don't look at Shangguan Xiu's words in public, but whether he can succeed in the first battle, he actually has no bottom in his heart.
As soon as Zhao Chen and Luo Fu left, Tang Wanyun walked in from outside.
Shangguan Xiu got up and arched his hand and said, "The county lord hasn't rested yet?"
Tang Wanyun said: "The big war is coming, I want to see more of the situation on your side." ”
Shangguan Xiu's mind turned, and he asked, "The county lord won't want to go on the expedition with me, right?"
Tang Wanyun was puzzled: "Why not?"
Shangguan Xiu sighed secretly, and Zhengse said: "The situation in Shah is urgent, the county lord should go to Shah as soon as possible, why delay the trip in Zhen County?"
Tang Wanyun smiled and said, "At present, there are 200,000 troops in Ningnan entering Shah, of which 20,000 troops have penetrated deep into Shah's hinterland and are approaching the junction of our gale and Shah. ”
Shangguan Xiu frowned slightly, and said, "Obviously, Ning Nannan has already begun to take action, and the county lord should not waste time here in Zhenjun." ”
Tang Wanyun said with a smile: "Ningnan only has 20,000 soldiers and horses passing through Shah, not 200,000, and the remaining 100,000 main troops are still stationed on the border between Ningnan and Shah, do you know why?"
Shangguan Xiu shook his head slowly, indicating that he was not clear.
Tang Wanyun said: "It is the various tribes of Shah who have not yet agreed to let all the 200,000 troops in Ningnan pass through the territory of Shah. The Shah people are not stupid, they are also watching, trying to see the situation clearly, to see clearly whether Ningnan has a chance to destroy the Wind Country in one battle. If Ningnan is not successful in the first battle, then Shah, who sent troops to Ningnan through the channel, will become the enemy of the Wind Country, and after the Wind Country retreats the Ningnan army, he will definitely retaliate against Shah, so now Shah has not decided which side to lean. Before visiting Shah, I need to show the Shah people that Zhenjun is not disturbed by the rebels, and that there is still a large army in Zhenjun and the court of our Feng Country. ”
"So, I, the Jinchuan Army, am the capital of the negotiation between the county lord and the Shah people!" Shangguan Xiu answered.
"So to speak. Tang Wanyun said: "In this battle, you can only win, not lose, if you can't win, I will help you win." ”
Shangguan Xiu smiled bitterly, he didn't know whether to thank Tang Wanyun or be angry at her for not having confidence in herself. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Early tomorrow morning, our army will go south, and the county master will go out with the army, so it's better to go and rest early!"
Tang Wanyun looked at him, and after a while, she suddenly remembered something, and asked: "There is something I haven't figured out until now, why did you save Your Majesty in the first place, you are obviously a person from His Royal Highness King Yu." ”
