Shi Huai stared at the general Yin Liang directly, and asked coldly: "Yin Liang, as a general, at this time, don't you have nothing to say?"

Yin Liang hurriedly stepped out of the queue and said, "King, for today's plan, our country can only use the reserve army, and transfer the reserve army to Tianma County to deal with the southward movement of the Fourth Army. ”

Shi Huai doesn't understand military affairs and has a tyrannical temperament, but he is not a fool.

What is a reserve army? It is a logistics army composed of recruits who have just been recruited and veterans who are about to be discharged, and is it not possible to use such an army to resist the wolf-like Jin army, and not to hit a stone with an egg and kill oneself? Besides, Jiankang has traveled thousands of miles from Tianma, and now it is too late to dispatch a reserve army?

He raised his eyebrows, leaned forward, and asked in a strange manner, "General Yin, is this your advice to Ben Shuai?"

As soon as Yin Liang heard Shi Huai's questioning tone, he immediately realized that the king did not accept his opinion, his eyes rolled, his words changed, and he said worriedly: "It is indeed difficult for the reserve army to resist the Fourth Legion, and Tianma County is the logistics center for our army to enter the Wood Country, there must be no mistakes, for the sake of insurance, should the king consider recalling the army fighting in the Wood Country?"

Shi Huai didn't answer, frowned, and was silent.

Withdrawing the Red Army fighting in the Wood Country, Shi Huai really considered this strategy, but he felt that it was a pity that he withdrew the army at this time, so the previous series of victories in the Wood Country were all in vain, and his own efforts were all in vain, how could he be willing?

After a long time, he muttered, "Isn't there no best of both worlds?"

Yin Liang's mind changed for a moment, and he arched his hand and said, "Why doesn't the king ask for help from You Yan and You? As long as Yan and You are willing to send troops to help our country." Not to mention that it is easy to resist the southern invasion of the Jin army, and it can also take advantage of the situation to recover the lost territory of our country, killing two birds with one stone!"

Shi Huai's eyes lit up, and he asked: "Yin Aiqing, my country has been at war with You Yan and the two countries before, are the two countries willing to send troops to help our country this time?"

Yin Liang smiled and said, "That's right, the relationship between my country and You Yan is not good, but these two countries hate Jin Guo even more. As the saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend. Even if You Yan and the two countries don't want to help our country. But in order to suppress the Jin State, the minister thinks they will also send troops!"

"En!" Shi Huaida nodded and praised: "What Aiqing said is reasonable, good." Just do what Yin Aiqing wants!"

Now Shi Huai is also sick and rushed to the doctor. I really can't think of a strategy to deal with the southern invasion of the Jin army. I didn't want to transfer back the Central Army of the Red Kingdom, which had penetrated deep into the Mu Country, so I had no choice but to adopt Yin Liang's opinion. Ask for help from You Guo and Yan Guo respectively.

In fact, Yin Liang's analysis is not wrong, You and Yan are not pleasing to the Red Country, but it has not yet reached the level of hostility, and their primary enemy is also the Jin State. However, Yin Liang ignored a very important point, the current alliance between You and Yan is on the verge of collapse, and the root cause of this is still the fiasco of the last gold alliance. The Yan army complained that You Jun did not listen to the command and insisted on going his own way, while You Jun complained that Yan Jun was as timid as a mouse and did not dare to fight a hard battle with the Jin people.

If the two countries could be frank with each other and explain all kinds of problems on the bright side, the contradictions might still be alleviated, but after the defeat of the war against Jin, both countries avoided mentioning the war, and the contradictions and complaints accumulated more and more, and the militaries of the two countries almost reached the point of fire and water.

At this time, Shi Huai sent two envoys to Yanyou and the two countries to ask for help, which was undoubtedly unpleasant to both sides.

The first to oppose the sending of reinforcements were the military generals of the two countries.

The reason for the opposition of the generals of You Guo is very simple, they are ashamed to be with the Yan army, since the Red Kingdom has also asked the Yan State for help, then let the Yan State send troops. And the generals of the Yan army also have the same idea, since the Red Kingdom also asked You Guo for help, then let You Guo send troops to resist the Jin State first, in addition, in this way, they can also consume the military strength of the two countries at the same time, and they can watch the fire from the other side and enjoy the benefits of the fisherman.

The attitudes of the generals of the two sides directly affect the attitudes of the two monarchs, and the monarchs of the two countries are lukewarm about the matter of the Red Kingdom asking for help, that is, they have not vetoed sending troops for reinforcements, nor have they agreed to send troops, but are dragging their feet, waiting for the other side to send troops first.

If Shi Huai only sent one envoy, whether it was to Yan Country or You Country, I am afraid the result would not be the way it is now.

Of course, there are no ifs in this world. Although Yin Liang is not a mediocre talent, his overall view is far from reaching the level of insight into the overall situation, no matter how accurate the previous analysis is, but the deviation of the last step will only make his strategy a fatal next step.

The inaction of Yan You and the two countries made the rescue of the Red Kingdom fail to succeed, and Shi Huai, who got the reply, was furious in the court, and pointed at Yin Liang's nose angrily and scolded angrily.

At present, it is impossible for the Red Army to get reinforcements from the outside world, and it can only rely on its own strength to resist the Jin State, but in the continuous battle, the Red Army's central army and local army have also suffered heavy losses, and the only way to reverse the situation seems to be the only way to withdraw the main army fighting in the Mu Country.

During this time, the Red Kingdom successively asked Yan and You for help, and the delay was not short, but the Jin army, which had already captured Anqiu County, did not continue to go south and invade Tianma County, because the opinions within the Jin army were not unified, and they were arguing about whether to consolidate their power first or continue to go south.

Of course, Lin Haotian hoped to continue to go south, attack Tianma County, and then trap the main army of the Red Kingdom in the Mu Kingdom, so that he would have the opportunity to directly attack Jiankang and eliminate the Red Kingdom Imperial Court in one fell swoop.

Lin Haotian didn't plan to annex the Red Kingdom all at once, but the smooth outcome of the war made his ambitions swell rapidly, and the current situation did have the possibility of a quick solution.

However, Chu Lianyu held the opposite opinion, believing that his side should not go south again, but first consolidate the power of the counties and counties occupied by his side, and form a confrontation with Shi Huai.

Chu Lianyu is by no means timid and afraid, he has his concerns, in his opinion, fighting to this level is the limit, and if he goes further, it will inevitably attract the participation of other forces, how could Yan You, the two powerful countries who regard Jin as a thorn in their side, watch Jin State annex Red Country and ignore Jin Country to sit big? At the critical moment, these two countries will definitely make a move, and at that time, they will have a strong enemy in front of them, and the rear will be unstable, and once they are defeated, they will not even have a base to regroup, so they can only plunge thousands of miles and return to the Jin country, and the counties and counties that they had worked so hard to build before will be in vain.

The views of Lin Haotian and Chu Lianyu basically represent two major views within the Jin army, one side believes that the current opportunity is rare, and the red country can be destroyed quickly, and the other side believes that the time is not yet ripe, and it is most practical to consolidate the current fruits of victory first.

Bi Wen supported Lin Haotian, and Zhang Hui supported Chu Lianyu.

The stakes were so high that the internal opinions could not be unified, so Lin Haotian did not dare to take the next step easily, and the plan to attack Tianma County was temporarily delayed.

It was precisely when there was a disagreement within the Jin army that there was a dispute over whether to attack or defend, and the spies of the Jin State in Jiankang sent back important news - the Red Kingdom failed to ask for help.

This news is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the main battle faction led by Lin Haotian, and the Yan State and You Country have decided to send troops to aid the Red Country, which proves that Chu Lianyu's concerns are superfluous, if you don't attack south at this time, when will you wait?

Lin Haotian summoned Chu Lianyu and others to consult urgently.

After listening to the information sent back by Jiankang, Chu Lianyu also frowned secretly, he really couldn't imagine that Yan and You refused to send troops to aid the Red Kingdom.

Bi Wen said with a smile: "In fact, it is understandable that the two countries refused to aid the Red Country. ”

"Oh, what do you mean by Lord Bi?" asked Chu Lianyu.

"The last time the two countries joined forces to attack our country, it ended in failure, after the war, the two armies in order to shirk their responsibilities, blame each other, the contradiction is deepening day by day, and now both countries are unwilling to send troops, one is not to join forces with each other to fight. Second, both countries hope that the other side will send troops first, let the other side fight our army first, and then send troops to clean up the mess and enjoy the success when both sides are defeated. ”

After a pause, Bi Wen arched his hand and said: "My lord, it can be said that Yan and You are currently each with their own ghosts, and the first thing that comes to mind is how to preserve their strength, and our army can just take advantage of this gap!" (To be continued......)
