Volume 4 Southwest Raiders Chapter 284 A two-pronged approach
The barbarian crowd in Hezhou City was leaderless, the people were panicked, and many people fled secretly.
This naturally provided considerable convenience for the Vietnamese army spies, and in just two or three days, the relevant news was transmitted back one after another and reported to Sun Ning.
"Then Xiong Dare is really seriously injured and will die?" After Sun Ning heard the report, he was also very excited, "Okay, very good." Come on, go and release Nie Long, and I will reward him well! β
The generals next to him naturally didn't have any opinions on this arrangement, Nie Long did make a great contribution this time, and he hit a bear dare hard, which was a bigger blow to the enemy than killing a hundred and ten barbarian warriors.
"Your Majesty, should we launch a siege next?" Xiao Kedi looked like he was gearing up, and took the initiative to ask for battle.
After this war, the Xiao family brothers also had more courage and courage than before, and no longer regarded the barbarians as invincible beasts.
Xiao Keding and Yan Hu also looked forward to it, and after two days of rest, the whole army has completely recovered. And because of the previous big victory, the morale of the whole army is even greater, and they are all thinking about when they can kill the enemy again and make meritorious contributions.
Only Chen Qingyun seemed to think differently from them, and when he opened his mouth to say something, he had some concerns.
His reaction was naturally quickly captured by Sun Ning, and he immediately named him: "Chen Qingyun, do you have any different opinions?" β
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is still too early to storm Hezhou at this time, and it should be delayed a little longer.
"Now the hearts of the people in Hezhou City are fluctuating, but they have not completely collapsed in the end, let them continue to make trouble, maybe they can make waves again. In addition, in the mountains to the west, in fact, there are still five main forces that have not yet arrived, if we rashly attack the city, but are blocked, and then attacked by the five main forces from the side, I am afraid that this battle will still be unfavorable. β
After Chen Qingyun finished speaking, Sun Ning also nodded deeply: "What you said is exactly what I am worried about." Ladies and gentlemen, don't let the initial victory lead to a dismiss of possible threats.
"The barbarians fighting on their own is both their weakness and at the same time can be their strength.
"Once they are pressed, maybe they will put aside the patriarch's serious injury and give it a go. That's not what we're hoping for. β
"But Your Majesty, it's not a matter of waiting like this." Yan Hu is embarrassed.
Xiao Keding hesitated, and also said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the time has dragged on for a long time, and their reinforcements are really coming, and our situation will be even more difficult, and then we will be attacked by the enemy."
"It's better to take advantage of the fact that his reinforcements have not arrived, and take advantage of the victory to break the city!"
"No, you haven't understood what I mean, and just because our army doesn't attack the city doesn't mean that we don't do anything. On the contrary, we have more important things to do right now. β
"Your Majesty means?" Several generals were a little confused, including Chen Qingyun.
Sun Ning still looked like a bamboo in his chest: "We all know that the city of Hezhou has become scattered sand, so why don't we take advantage of the trend and completely divide them?"
"In the past two days, I have asked people to carefully check the relationship between the five departments of the Cangxiong, only to find that the five departments that seem to be close to each other are actually full of contradictions, such as Mingyue and Baixi, which have the best relationship with the Cangxiong clan, can always get more benefits, but the remaining Cangshan and Gray Bow are secretly dissatisfied.
"If Xiong dares to be unharmed, with his prestige among the five tribesmen, Cangshan and Gray Bow will not dare to show their dissatisfaction no matter how dissatisfied.
But now, with his downfall, the situation is completely different. Most of the fugitives in the city are from these two departments, do you think they will always be safe and sound? β
"Your Majesty means ......" Chen Qingyun and the others reacted quickly, and there was a hint of excitement in their expressions.
"Yes, since there is a gap between their various departments, then let's help them and simply divide them." Sun Ning's eyes flashed, "If it happens, not only can it greatly reduce the resistance of the defenders in the city, but also increase our strength, why not?" β
"It's just, has Your Majesty thought about it, can these barbarians really believe it?" Chen Qingyun asked with concern.
Sun Ning said: "They may not be trustworthy, but as long as we gain power, these barbarians can only follow." Moreover, I will let them attack the other three in the city, and when they have blood on their hands, there will be no way back. β
When the generals heard him say this, while excited, they couldn't help but have some doubts: "Your Majesty, can you really make those two rebels so easily?" β
"The general trend is like this, I don't think they have a choice. In addition, I have actually sent someone to infiltrate the city and contact the two leaders, and it will not take a few days to get results. β
Everyone was stunned again, and then they realized that His Majesty the Emperor had seen farther than them, and had actually made arrangements early.
The generals didn't ask Sun Ning who had arranged for him to come into contact with the barbarian leader, they were more concerned about the second thing that the emperor mentioned that needed to be done.
"For Hezhou, our strategy for the time being is to confront each other and not attack. But that doesn't mean we don't have to send troops to fight, but we should put the main force inβ"
While speaking, Sun Ning got up, came to the huge map hanging on the side, and pointed at the two mountain passes on the west side of Hezhou: "Here, and here, set up ambushes, just to target the barbarian reinforcements coming out of the mountains."
"I think they should already know about the attack on Hezhou, and they will definitely go out to the mountain as soon as possible to rescue. But they must not have imagined that Hezhou would be defeated so badly, so it is impossible to guard against us and still be able to divide the main force to ambush halfway.
"As long as this ambush can be successful, not only can it really hit the five parts of the bear, but also make Hezhou completely become an isolated city and fall into my hands. What's more, it also lets the two wavering guys in the city know that they have no other choice, so they completely turn to us. β
Speaking of this, Sun Ning turned around, and his eyes fell on Yan Hu and Xiao Kedi: "Yan Hu, Xiao Kedi, I and you each have two thousand soldiers and horses, are you sure that you can rely on this battle to severely damage the barbarian ambush soldiers who came out of the mountain?" β
Both of their bodies were shocked, and then their eyes shone eagerly, and they shouted almost at the same time: "The minister will live up to His Majesty's credit, if you can't break the enemy, the minister will come to see you!" β
The two of them didn't really make a move when they broke the incoming enemy before, but now they have a chance.
β¦β¦
At the same time, in front of a fairly large-scale and well-preserved mansion in Hezhou City, Zhuge Qingyun was standing upright, waiting quietly.
Until a fierce barbarian warrior came to him and said in an urn, "You go in with me......"
He smiled.
This will be the first contribution that Zhuge Qingyun has made for His Majesty the Emperor!
