Chapter 153: Siege

At this time, Liu Hu took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to Nanjun to quell the chaos." ”

"If the minister goes to war, he will definitely return triumphantly and get rid of the thieves of Nanjun for His Majesty."

Liu Hu also followed Wang Zhan's example and made a military order.

At this time, all the ministers behind him made voices of support, after all, Wang Zhan's family was favored by Concubine Lan before, and Wang Xiuhu even led to Zhao Hai's assassination, and the people who made trouble were panicked, but they were pardoned.

However, Concubine Yue was beaten and imprisoned, and now the public resentment is boiling, and chaos is presenting everywhere. Therefore, many courtiers, in addition to some of Liu Yuan's subordinates, other neutral courtiers also stood on Liu Hu's side this time, thinking that it was more reasonable for Liu Hu to fight.

There are even some officials who are already thinking about how to participate in the king's war at this moment.

At this moment, Wang Zhan was anxious in his heart, he knew that if Liu Hu went to rebel, he would definitely make the biggest trouble. All the sergeants over there, I'm afraid none of them will survive, and in the end, they may become a stepping stone for Liu Hu to climb up.

In such a situation, how could Wang Zhan give up the power of this sentence.

Wang Zhan stood up again and said: "Your Majesty, if the old minister goes to quell the chaos, he will definitely be able to collect all the judgment troops at the minimum cost, eradicate those with ulterior motives, and reorganize military discipline. ”

"Then when the minister understands that if he is above the military array, he must not be the opponent of the old minister."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

After listening to Wang Zhan's words, Zhao Hai had not yet spoken, but the historian Zhou Tai on the side was anxious and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is not allowed." ”

"General Wang, you are still Gongwei Emperor's capital, this kind of rebellion outside should be handed over to the sharper young people of Great Qin."

"What's more, it's your former subordinate, so there's no guarantee that nothing will happen. This kind of thing, you should also understand, it's not just your mouth that can convince me to wait. ”

"Moreover, there are so many generals in the DPRK, and only you, Wang Zhan, can go out to quell the chaos? Could it be that you mean that our powerful Great Qin can't find a few generals who can wipe out the judgment army? ”

After listening to the words of the historian Zhou Tai, Wang Zhanqi's face turned green, and his heartbeat almost jumped to the highest value.

How can the words of the historian Zhou Tai make him not angry?

But even so, Gongsun Jian and the others on the side couldn't open their mouths to help Wang Zhan, because it was indeed the case.

At this time, the herald lying on the ground had already woken up under the treatment of the eunuchs and eunuchs on the left and right, and Zhao Hai saw this scene and immediately asked: "You, do you know now, where have the people who are now in harmony have attacked?" ”

The man shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, in the last tense, Nadanghe just killed the county lieutenant of Nanjun, rebelled, and occupied the entire Nanjun. ”

"He killed a large number of people and did not leave the city with his troops."

"However, he is already transporting heavy grain and grass, I am afraid that he is preparing for the attack on Xianyang City."

"No one knows exactly where it is now."

Zhao Hai nodded and said to Jiang Xiaoyue: "How many troops are there in Nanjun?" ”

Jiang Xiaoyue said: "Your Majesty, there are less than 20,000 people in Nanjun. ”

Zhao Hai said: "Angelica, bring the map." ”

Li Angelica handed the map that had been prepared long ago to Zhao Hai's hand according to his words.

Zhao Hai took it and looked at it seriously.

Zhao Hai asked Wang Zhan to come to him and pointed out the location of Nanjun.

After Zhao Hai inquired about the topography of Wang Zhannanjun, he knew that Nanjun was a city surrounded by mountains on two sides and a traffic artery with water in the middle.

However, if you want to send troops to Xianyang City, it will be the side that hinders the road more.

This place in Nanjun is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but if they want to send troops out of that place and attack the city in other places, it will not be as easy as they imagined.

At this time, Zhao Hai asked: "Wang Zhan, if you are now in Danghe, what will you do?" ”

After listening to Zhao Hai's words, Wang Zhan immediately looked at the map and studied it carefully for a while, and then said to Zhao Hai: "Your Majesty, if the ministers are in harmony, they will not directly send troops to Xianyang from this southern county, but will capture Yiling in the middle." ”

"If you occupy Yiling, you will have the strength and reliance to send troops to Xianyang."

"When the time comes, we can form a north-south confrontation with Your Majesty, and it will be even more difficult to deal with."

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Then what if he is attacked by you and others in Nanjun?" What will he do? ”

Wang Zhan thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, I am afraid that he will be broken into pieces and send all his soldiers into the mountains and people. ”

"At that time, even if His Majesty sends more troops, it will be difficult to eradicate them all in a short period of time."

Zhao Hai thought so. He knew very well how difficult and costly it would be to go to the mountains to suppress a group of scattered bandits in this place where communications were backward and there were no lights at night.

Zhao Hai was silent for a moment, then looked at Jiang Xiaoyue and asked, "I ask you, did the defenders over there send you a letter saying that suspicious traces have been found near Yiling?" ”

Jiang Xiaoyue clenched her fists and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has not received such news yet. ”

Zhao Hai frowned and said, "Impossible, immediately let the Yiling defenders send a large number of scouts out to investigate." ”

"I don't believe that the outlaws will not dare to come to Yiling."

"It is impossible for him to cross many dangers now, and attacking Xianyang with his army of less than 20,000 people is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg."

"I want the real news from the front line now, you must let the Yiling defenders pay attention to vigilance."

Jiang Xiaoyue clenched her fists and said, "No." ”

Zhao Hai then said to many ministers: "I don't know the movement of the anti-thieves now, so I can't send troops for the time being. "Zhao Hai has never fought before, but at least he has read military books, and he knows that there are so many battles in history that were not going out of the city, but they were killed by others when they went out of the city.

Therefore, not taking action for the time being and sticking to Xianyang City is a foolproof strategy in itself.

Even when he came to Xianyang City, Zhao Hai still had troops to defend the city, and he was killed by 20,000 people.

At this time, the historian Zhou Tai stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, will such a decision lead to a chance to breathe and then grow?" ”

"Even if there is no message from Nayiling, it has already reversed. He must have hesitated for this for a long time, and he was fully prepared. ”

"Your Majesty, it's better to make a decision early."

Zhao Hai looked at the historian Zhou Tai in front of him, and a dark cloud enveloped his eyebrows.

This guy is just a historian, but he has to intervene in everything and make some suggestions. It's as if he is the prime minister of the dynasty, but he is just a substitute ghost pushed out by Liu Yuan, and he may die at any time.
