Chapter 997 - Doing a Full Set of Dramas (Part II)
Thousands of miles away, Jinling, south of the Yangtze River.
"Presumably, at this time, Qin Yude's side should also see our true intentions, so it seems that there is only one way left in front of them."
Sun Ning faced a number of important ministers, with a smile on his face, completely devoid of the angry look when he had just learned that Qin Yude had poured out Kaifeng's troops and conquered the city, and even the important city of Nanyang was surrounded by his army.
The other ministers also laughed together: "What Your Majesty said is very true, even if he is stupid and can't understand the situation now, in two days, after perceiving the attitude of Luoyang, he will understand everything." ”m.
"It's just that it's really ...... to give up the entire Nanyang and the huge military resources in it" Shen Zhou sighed, those are all the treasures that the imperial court has worked hard to accumulate in the past few years.
Sun Ning didn't care: "When fishing, you always have to prepare some bait."
"Moreover, acting is a complete set, and it makes everyone believe in the signal we sent to them, so it makes sense to spend some money.
"As long as they follow our plan, they will be able to earn everything back from him Qin Yude with interest."
"Your Majesty is wise, I'm afraid that Zhao Guangxiao will not believe it, this Nanyang City was deliberately given to Qin Yude by us, just to provoke suspicion between them, and make him suspect that Qin Yude is one of us." Xiao Changyong also smiled and spoke.
This caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Yes, this Nanyang is indeed under the instruction of the imperial court, and the defending soldiers will leave without a fight, and give it to the Pingtian Army in vain. And its purpose is precisely to deepen the suspicion between Luoyang and Kaifeng.
Before, Qin Yude suddenly led the army to attack, which really caught Sun Ning and the entire Dayue court off guard, and at that time, many people had already proposed to suspend the matter in the south and concentrate on fighting head-on with these Pingtian army rebels.
But the proposal was quickly vetoed by Sun Ning.
Because first, this is contrary to his original plan, there is already a lot of investment in the south, whether it is people or materials, it is said that it can be stopped?
Second, if you really want to do this, the victory or defeat is really between the two, and it can be said that the court may not have a perfect chance of winning.
Once the troops are really sent to save Nanyang and other cities, it means a full-scale war with the Kaifeng Pingtian Army, and the original design wants to make the internal disputes of the Pingtian Army completely fail, and Luoyang Zhao Guangxiao will definitely send troops to help at that time.
In this way, it was the imperial court and the Pingtian army to fight for Nanyang and other cities. Not to mention how many chances there are in such a head-to-head confrontation, the enemies in other directions alone are enough for the imperial court to drink a pot.
Don't forget, the Pingtian Army is not only these two roads, but also Li Wannian's department that occupies the entire Guanlong.
Don't look at this Pingtian Army, which has no sense of existence in the Central Plains, but in terms of strength, it may be the strongest way.
The three parties work together, and then fight the officers and soldiers, it is really difficult to say whether the victory or defeat will be said. Especially in the case of the labor expedition, it is even more disadvantageous to the officers and soldiers.
Finally, there are two forces that cannot be ignored, that is, the Guo Han department that still exists in Jinju, and the Oni Rong people who are further away!
If these two forces also felt that this was an opportunity and raised troops to the south, then the imperial court would really be the result of being attacked by many sides and stumbling on the left and right.
At that time, even if the imperial court is strong and outnumbered, I am afraid that it may not be able to hold the current territory, and the loss of troops will be even more inevitable!
So after understanding all this, generals such as Yanhu and other belligerent people didn't dare to say anything lightly anymore and took the initiative to save Nanyang.
However, it doesn't seem right to leave Nanyang alone like this......
So, after some careful thought, a bold strategy was quickly decided by Sun Ning and them.
That is to abandon Nanyang, only bring back the soldiers and horses in the city, and then even leave those supplies to the enemy.
The purpose of doing this is naturally to keep Zhao Guangxiao, who is still suspicious of Kaifeng Qin Yude, to remain suspicious.
Because judging from Zhao Guangxiao's point of sight, Qin Yude's pouring out of the nest this time does have the meaning of breaking the kettle and making a stand. But what if this series of battles didn't actually hurt the slightest?
The previous Yicheng and Xingcheng were suddenly attacked by him, and there were indeed few soldiers and horses in the city, so it was easy to take them.
But after that, the large and small cities were also knocked down by him without much effort, and this matter inevitably made people suspicious. And when the battle in Nanyang City has ended in such an almost absurd way, this conjecture has been further implemented - the two sides of the attack and defense are clearly cooperating, and they are acting in an extremely tacit understanding!
Otherwise, how can it be explained that Nanyang, which obviously has tens of thousands of defenders, will quickly collapse a few days after being attacked, and the whole army will abandon the city and flee?
This is a city that has hoarded countless food and materials, and it can be regarded as a key fulcrum for the imperial court to enter the Central Plains!
Even if the whole city runs out of soldiers and horses, it will not be easily abandoned.
Otherwise, how to explain why the defenders did not burn all kinds of materials in the city when Nanyang was abandoned?
Even a stupid official or general knows how to set fire to and destroy supplies when he leaves.
But they didn't do it, and they actually gave up the supplies of this city to the enemy.
If this is not a tacit understanding between the two sides, or even a friendly army united together, there is no such thing as joint cooperation in the world!
This is also the reason why when Qin Yude wrote a letter to ask Luoyang to send troops, Zhao Guangxiao replied that he would not be fooled.
Because he didn't believe the other party, he was afraid that as soon as he really sent troops to Nanyang, he would send sheep into the tiger's mouth, and there would be no return.
Anyway, when there was already hostility and suspicion towards Qin Yude, such a result became the best evidence, and naturally the two parties were completely divided, and it was impossible to reach trust and join forces.
With only one city in Nanyang, the two divisions of the Pingtian Army were completely divided, which was enough for Sun Ning and the imperial court.
Not to mention, when Qin Yude understands the reason, he will inevitably continue to use troops in Liangzhou in order to prove himself.
Because now he has no choice, Luoyang has a deep prejudice against him, and if he wants to reverse this concept, he can only continue to show his indomitable position.
Perhaps, when he defeated Liangzhou and pointed directly at the two lakes and two Huai, the situation would be different.
But Sun Ning obviously couldn't give him such a chance again.
How could Liangzhou really let it out so easily?
"Do a full set of dramas, and then those small counties that can't be defended, we will all give up for the time being, and lead his army to the city of Liangzhou!" Sun Ning said with burning eyes, "Then, send troops from Jingzhou and Lianzhou, cooperate with the army of Liangzhou, and gather and annihilate its main force under the city of Liangzhou!" ”
Sun Ning said, taking the long stick in his hand and pressing the location of Liangzhou on the map, and his tone was solemn: "This battle is fought with all our might, with the primary goal of killing and injuring the enemy's soldiers and horses and annihilating them!" ”
Some people died, but not completely......
