Wen Liangyu's words made the depressed and depressed atmosphere in the hall empty, and from Sun Ning down, everyone was in good spirits, and then thoughtful.

After a while, Sun Ning took the case and said: "Wen Liangyu's performance is very reasonable, although my Eastern Route Army has been defeated and retreated to Ludi, but the other two routes have not lost a single bit, as long as they continue to press, they can still put a lot of pressure on Luoyang, and even force them to mess up.

"It's hard to say whether the enemy will take the risk of attacking because of this victory, but there's nothing wrong with trying. As long as they are allowed to come out of the fortress and fight our army head-on, then the chances of victory for our imperial army will naturally be greater."

"Your Majesty, the only thing to worry about is whether the armies of the west and south routes will be affected by the defeat of the armies of the east routes, and thus lose the battlefield......

This really has to be guarded against, and Sun Ning also frowned slightly.

But soon, he relaxed again: "This is not a big problem, I believe in Xiao Kedi and Nie Long. They are also veteran generals in the army who have been with me for many years, and they have already experienced a lot of victories and defeats, so will they still be in chaos because of this defeat?"

This time he used troops against Luoyang again, and the two main generals selected by Sun Ning were the most stable Chen Qingyun and Xiao Kedi. It is precisely because the two of them have always been stable that they have decided to use them as bait to use them as a bait to make a sound and attack the west.

And now, although the troops of the Eastern Route have missed, it does not mean that the two armies will be affected and lose their combat effectiveness.

The courtiers naturally said yes again and again at this time, which was not only a respect for His Majesty the Emperor, but also a trust in the two hundred battle generals.

It was Wen Liangyu, who was thoughtful at this time, and said after a while: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the defeat of the East Road is also extremely unfavorable to the imperial army."

"But is it about the morale of the enemy troops, and the reinforcements in Guanzhong?" Sun Ning asked after laughing.

"Your Majesty is wise, and it has something to do with these two things."

"Well, these two points really can't be ignored, especially the latter, I'm afraid that at this time, Guan Long Li Wannian's soldiers and horses are about to leave Tongguan and enter the Central Plains to rescue Luoyang City."

Sun Ning said, simply stood up, took a few steps to the left wall where the map of the world was hung on the side, and looked up and kept patrolling the many cities on the line from Luoyang to Chang'an: "Tell me, how should the imperial court deal with such enemies?"

The other courtiers were a little confused, but they didn't expect that they were originally trying to solve the defeat of the army on the Eastern Front, but now they actually talked about the next big enemy. And they really don't know much about military affairs, so they don't dare to say much at this time, so they can only keep quiet.

Only Wen Liangyu kept up with Sun Ning's rhythm at this time, took a few steps forward, looked at the map, and said, "The minister thinks that in the current situation, the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong must not be allowed to participate in the battle in Luoyang. So what we should do is reset the card and block its way." ap.

"Well, how do you stop it? There are not many soldiers and horses in the Central Plains for the imperial court, and if they are transferred from Jiangnan and other places, I am afraid that it will be too late."

Wen Liangyu had obviously entered the state at this time, and quickly gave his opinion: "If the minister's expectations are not bad, the reinforcements in Guanzhong will inevitably be mainly cavalry. Because of one thing, Guanzhong already produces horses, and the cavalry is the strongest army in the local area, since it has decided to save Luoyang, it will inevitably send this elite.

"Second, even in terms of speed, the cavalry is too much stronger than the foot soldiers, and they have been delayed for too long before, so they naturally want to make up for the wasted time."

"Well, is there a way to deal with these cavalry?"

"Cavalry is strong in mobility and impact, and if our army confronts it head-on, it will certainly not be its opponent. Fortunately, we don't need to break the enemy in one fight, as long as we hold them back, we will succeed.

"Therefore, the minister thinks that what we should do next is to rely on the many cities near Luoyang on the Liangzhou side to destroy the official road plains, so as to delay the action ability of its cavalry. In this way, even if they can't defeat the enemy, it is enough to make it difficult for them to move step by step.

"In addition, we can ambush along the way, taking advantage of the geographical advantage, we dare not say more, it is not difficult to drag them for a month or two!"

Sun Ning smiled, his gaze withdrew from Wen Liangyu, and fell to the map again: "What you say is very consistent

I am sorry, this is indeed a clever move we can use against the Guanlong cavalry right now.

"In this way, you will immediately go to Liangzhou, Nanyang and other places to give orders, and let the local officials mobilize the people to first break the official road, and then dig ditches in the plains and wilderness.

"This will be used to offset the conscription for the next three years, and this year's grain tax. I want to see this section of the official road within half a month, and I can't run away anymore!"

When the ministers heard this, their expressions changed again, knowing that His Majesty the Emperor had come for real this time.

Presumably, with such a generous return, the people from all over the country will definitely try their best to help the government dig a ditch. After all, such a fortification will take a month or two at most, but it may be worth three years of conscription and one year's tax, the severity of which can be judged by anyone.

At the same time, many officials also figured out another point, about the countermeasures that the morale of the soldiers in Luoyang would greatly increase as a result.

First, the imperial army can take this opportunity to lure them out of the city to fight, maybe in this way, it can really turn bad things into good things, and thus break the enemy of Luoyang in a big battle.

Second, if they remain calm and have not gone to battle, and want to wait for reinforcements to arrive before counterattacking. With the digging of a ditch on the front line of Nanyang in Liangzhou to block the momentum of the cavalry, there was no sign of reinforcements after a month or two, and the military spirit of Luoyang was about to fall back or even waver.

In a sense, these two issues are completely one and the other, and two and one thing.

At this point, the ministers all hurried away with the belief of victory and their own duties, and Sun Ning was soon left alone in the hall.

It was only at this time that the excitement on his face faded, and he reappeared solemn and uneasy.

Don't look at how calm he was before, but his heart was full of self-blame and helplessness, as well as deep worry.

The defeat of the Eastern Army meant that the whole plan had failed.

Then for the imperial army, they were temporarily at a loss. And he doesn't even have a way to deal with it, the only thing he can do is to defend the rear line, and give Xiao Kedi and Chen Qingyun their absolute trust.

"I just hope that the two of you can live up to my trust and survive this incident. Only after surviving this battle can we achieve the ultimate victory!" Sun Ning muttered in a voice that he could only hear.
