Chapter 257: The county king's strategy can be worth a million troops
Early morning.
The first rays of sunlight shone on the courtyard of the Yamen of Jiang Mansion, and a group of Cui Ying'er, Murong Xiu, and Xiong Paw had returned.
After a night of surveillance, although the Western Qin army and the city were talking loudly, the rebellion was not serious, after all, the eighteen prefectures of the three states had only known the Jiang family for two hundred years, not the royal family.
If you are used to this kind of thing, you can force a few words, but no one really wants to go to the court.
β¦β¦
Barracks outside the city.
In the tent, dozens of generals gathered together again, all looking haggard, and after a night of thinking about it yesterday, they found that it was impossible for them to leave the Western Qin Army.
γ
Rebellion or something, in short, follow the king of the Jiang family, he can do whatever he wants, the army of the Western Regions will press the border, and the future war will be very dangerous of annihilation and death on the battlefield, everyone is dead, what do you care?
"These 40,000 elites of the Western Regions are all good seedlings who are good at fighting and controlling the strings! It's a pity that if it's not my race, its heart will be different! And the group of princes and princesses, how did the county king arrange it? β
Wei Chijun was worried, looked at Jiang Yuxi, and said, "Did you pass on our thoughts to him yesterday?"
Everyone looked at Jiang Yuxi, and Jiang Yuxi's face turned bitter: "I told him last night, I have a big temper, and I said that it will be arranged this morning!"
"Alas!" Yu Chijun sighed, "I thought that the young county king would listen to us when he arrived, but I didn't think it was the case at all, I heard that the county king said yesterday that we are all straw bales, and he can destroy the million-strong army in the Western Regions with a snap of his fingers?" β
The generals looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"Da Da Da ......"
There was a rush of horses' hooves outside, and then Jiang Man'er rushed into the camp tent with an ugly face: "The army of the Western Regions is attacking in an all-round way!" Spring back to the house, Ma back to the village, Yanghe field is in full emergency! β
The generals immediately stood up and looked at the topographic map.
The millions of troops in the Western Regions attacked from three directions, and the Western Qin army only had more than 100,000 troops, that is, the troops were divided into three routes, and each road had to face nearly ten times the pressure of the enemy.
"Da Da ......"
There was a sound of horses' hooves outside the tent again, and soon the sloppy bearded Sheng Lingge opened the camp tent and broke in, glanced around, and saluted with fists: "The governor of the capital has an order, comprehensively shrink the front, give up the first line of Chunhui Mansion, Yangcheng Mansion, Mahui Village, Yanghechang, and Weiwei Grassland, withdraw the 150,000 troops to the five prefectures of Xingling, and guard the three natural dangers of Jinchuan Pass, Ningling Pass, and Mayi Pass!"
Move all the people of the abandoned land in, and transfer all the grain and grass baggage! β
"Nonsense!"
Wei Chijun and Tuoba defeated several veteran generals of the enemy, and they were furious, "If you withdraw again, there will be no place to withdraw, how can you raise an army of 150,000 and millions of people in one state and five prefectures?" β
Toss Kun stood up suddenly: "We want to see the king of the county!"
Brother Sheng Ling looked like he didn't care about himself, and stepped aside: "The king of the county is collecting 40,000 troops from the Western Regions!" Right ahead! β
A group of old generals glanced at each other, hurriedly left the camp tent, rode on war horses, and went straight to the prisoner camp.
The young county king was sitting on a high platform, sitting on a prince's chair, and more than a dozen accompanying maids and subordinates behind him were all wearing armor.
The autumn sun hung high, stretching the shadows of a group of people for a long time.
A group of old generals hurriedly came to the side and saluted one after another: "The last general has seen the Grand Governor!"
Xin Zhuo raised his hand, signaling that there was no need to be polite, and pointed to the Western Regions troops who could not see the end at a glance: "How?"
A group of old generals looked at it and found that the unruly alien troops could surrender in the past, but they would rather die than accept it, and now they honestly accept the incorporation.
"How did the Grand Governor do it?" Wei Chijun asked in surprise.
Xin Zhuo waved his robe, pointed into the distance, where there was a huge hole, and said, "Simple! Two thousand Western Regions generals, tribal leaders and patriarchs were buried alive in the pit, and the rest are naturally honest, no matter what race, there is never a shortage of two dogs! I am ready to put these more than 40,000 troops from the Western Regions into your accounts, so that the Western Qin soldiers will have 200,000 troops! β
Jiang Guen was taken aback: "200,000 troops, how can there be enough food and grass?"
Xin Zhuo smiled: "I just counted the grain and grass in the army, save some food, and you can last for two months!"
"What about two months from now?"
A group of old generals chattered their teeth, and the imperial court was reluctant to send grain and grass under the pretext that the grain route was cut off, and it was obvious that they wanted to put the Western Qin soldiers to death, which was a matter of great distress to them, and if there was no grain and grass replenishment after two months, not to mention the 200,000 troops, even the 150,000 Western Qin soldiers would collapse without a fight.
Xin Zhuo looked at everyone: "Two months later, the millions of troops in the Western Regions will be destroyed, the thirteen kingdoms will be destroyed, and I will expand the land of Western Qin for 5,000 miles, and there will be millions of people who control the strings!"
A group of old generals have numb scalps, this is too, what about playing?
"I don't know where the Metropolitan Governor got the confidence?"
Wei Chi Shuo's really heroic face showed a trace of serious questioning, "Please also ask the Metropolitan Governor not to boast about Haikou, please tell the actual things and effective plans, otherwise how can you convince the public?" β
Bai Xuanji hesitated for a moment, and also said: "The student is also very good, please ask the master to solve his doubts!"
"Please clear up the doubts!"
Nearly 100 generals saluted and questioned.
"You might as well broaden your horizons and take a look outside the battlefield!"
Xin Zhuo waved away a large group of miscellaneous generals, leaving only a group of veterans who had studied and trusted, looking at the vast land in the distance and the distorted horizon under the autumn sun, "Why did the Thirteen-Nation Alliance Army conquer the land of Western Qin?" β
A group of veteran generals don't know why, is there any reason for this? The seizure of land and population is also a sworn enemy with the Great Zhou itself, nothing more.
Xin Zhuo said with a smile: "First, they want the vast West River Nine Water Corridor and the three thousand miles of horse plains with fertile water and grass, as well as the flowery land of the Eighteen Prefectures of Xiqin!"
Second, they may also be bewitched by the people who have a heart in the Great Zhou, thinking that they can wipe out the Western Qin army and carve up the land of the three states and eighteen prefectures! Not only did they have land and population, but they also destroyed the enemy of life and death! Extinguish the sword hanging overhead! Right, right? β
A group of generals looked at each other, that's right, the little county king analyzed it right, and then what?
Xin Zhuo continued: "Now that they have got most of what they want, and we have even shrunk the battle line, showing weakness and giving them enough sweetness, what will happen to the soldiers of the Western Regions at this time?"
Wei Chijun bowed his hand: "At this time, the soldiers of the Western Regions are proud, in fact, they now look down on our Western Qin soldiers, that is, they are thinking about how to restrain several famous generals, they are still invincible!"
"Excellent! Let's not talk about the stupid words that arrogant soldiers will be defeated! Xin Zhuo said with a smile: "If in the future, my 200,000 Western Qin soldiers shrink the front, rely on Xiongguan, and resist desperately, and they can't gnaw or eat?"
A group of generals glanced at each other, a little lake, they couldn't gnaw it, and they couldn't die?
Xin Zhuo said: "You must know that the truth of one blow, then decline, and three exhaustion, the countries of the Western Regions have average national strength, the land is barren, and more than a million soldiers eat horses, and they can't bear it, and it is impossible for them not to worry about the front army of the Great Zhou Palace and the Shence Army who are not in their minds, so after they can't eat us in a short period of time, the army's heart will definitely be shaken!"
Of course! We can't just rely on them to waver, it's not right, we can't be naΓ―ve! β
Xin Zhuo got up, looked directly at the generals, and once again made sure that they all believed it, before he lowered his voice and said: "At this time, we must surrender without a fight and fight behind the enemy!" First, send good debaters to envoy the royal families of various countries to tell their kings that it is impossible for the Great Zhou to give up the land of Western Qin, and when our Western Qin army is left with the last man, the tired soldiers of their thirteen countries will face the wrath of the other armies of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there is definitely a possibility of destroying them in a war, so let them weigh and use their brains.
Second, use the captured princesses and princes of various countries to buy their harem concubines with money, jewelry, silk and jade, and blow the pillow wind in front of the emperors of various countries!
Third, bribe the domestic political enemies of the leading generals of the Western Regions, and tell them that the generals of the Western Regions are going to rebel, and if they don't withdraw their troops, the country will be in danger!
Fourth, distant friends and close attacks, lobbying the life and death enemy countries behind the thirteen countries, the thirteen countries are already empty, the Western Qin soldiers will clamp down on the main armies of each country, so that they backstab and sneak attack, believe that they are not fools, they know what to do, once my Western Qin army is defeated, the strength of the thirteen countries has increased greatly, and their group of dogs and cubs don't want to live.
Fifth, send a death battalion to bypass Mengyang Mountain and attack the grain route of the army in the Western Regions every day! Set fires, flood, in short, can't let them get their way!
Sixth, I will create a plague and introduce it to the Western Regions Army camp!
Seventh, always pay attention to the movements of the Western Regions army, I want to know them well, even if they fart, it will be passed into my account! β
After a pause, he looked at the generals who were already pale and confused: "These things have been carefully planned, just waiting to discuss with you and send the most suitable person!" For these two months, we don't fight! Resist their attacks and win! Did you do it? β
Jiang Guen, Wei Chijun, Tuoba to defeat the enemy, Toss Kun, Lin Haotian and a group of veterans were convinced, and immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted: "The last general will wait for the order!"
Yu Chi Shuozhen, Jiang Man'er, Bai Xuanji, including Sheng Lingge and Sai Qingzhu, also knelt down at the same time.
In a moment, Xin Zhuo was the only one standing around!
The generals suddenly understood the truth that "those who are good at fighting have no outstanding military exploits", and these things were things they had never thought of, or had thought of similar things, and their heads were confused and incomplete.
These things are not nonsense and talk on paper, but they are very likely to succeed and be effective!
The overall situation, vision and pattern of the little county king in front of him have gone beyond the army itself, and the delicate mind and the accuracy of seeing things can be described as a burst of blood!
This is no longer arrogance, but a real word, a real ability, and a handsome hand to lead the army!
"This matter must not be heard, monitor each other, and proceed closely!"
Xin Zhuo turned back, rode his war horse, and glanced at everyone: "I am willing to say it in public, that is, I can trust you, and I hope that in two months, it will be effective!"
There was a pause: "There is an ambition below, to annihilate the million-strong army of the Western Regions in a war, I want to drink in the palaces of various countries in the Western Regions, rob their money, and play with their queens and princesses!"
"Whoa!"
