Chapter 544: Plan
From Yinzhou (later Yinchuan) to the south, is the impregnable Qingyang, and further south is Chang'an, Tang Mingli even if he has the courage, he does not dare to let the Xiongnu threaten Chang'an.
In comparison, abandoning the central guard and allowing the Huns to enter Tianshui caused the loss was minimal. Advance can be attacked and retreated, even if the Huns want to play any tricks, just connect the Hetao and Wuwei into a line, it is a game of closing the door and beating the dog, and the Huns' retreat will be completely cut off in one fell swoop, then there will be a defense line in the north of the town, there is a natural danger in Shuzhong in the south, the west road is a desperate situation, and there are Hanzhong defenders on the east road, which can be described as an iron wall, not leaking.
Because of this, even if the plan went wrong, Tang Mingli had something to say in the court - strategic retreat, inducing a lone army of the Xiongnu to go deeper, gather and annihilate it, and no matter how clever a strategist is, he can't see too many problems.
But for the Huns, it was a rare opportunity. In the eyes of the Huns, there was a Zhenbei army to hold the northern line, and the nomads wanted to invade the Central Plains, just like a dog biting a hedgehog. If there is really a strong team to win the central defender, there is no need to contend with the heavily guarded Chang'an, and it can gnaw Jincheng (Lanzhou) in the southwest, which is enough to lay a nail in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Even if there are any changes, this army can turn to Tianshui at any time and take Dingxi and even Longnan into the palm of their hands.
As for the supply - for the nomadic cavalry growing on horseback, with the crotch dismounted and the knife in the hand, wherever there are people, there is a steady stream of supplies, and it is necessary to travel thousands of miles to transport food from the icy and snowy wasteland?
It is precisely because of this difference in perception that Tang Mingli dared to reach a tacit understanding with the Huns unscrupulously. The Xiongnu wantonly invaded the Central Plains, and the Zhenbei Army could get greater solidarity and support in the court, whether it was grain and grass, personnel, rights or political influence, it was a lucrative business for Tang Mingli.
After Xiao Qianli finished speaking, there was an embarrassing silence on the other side of the sound transmission spirit stone, and for a while, there was no sound except for the faint sound of heavy breathing.
After a long time, Song Shujian's dry voice came from the opposite side: "Zhangjiao, I know ......"
"What are you going to do?"
"Withdraw Wuwei ......" Song Shujian's voice was surprisingly lazy, obviously extremely discouraged, "Mr. Tao is reorganizing the army over there, and I will bring my men and horses over to make peace with him, at least to ensure that there will be no mistakes on the front line of Wuwei and Jinchang." ”
He paused for a moment and sighed lightly: "Abandoning the Zhongwei, Jingyuan has become a lonely city, how can I resist at least one full Hun cavalry with these 5,000 people in my hands alone? ”
"Mr. Song!" Xiao Qianli's tone was not so depressed, but chuckled, "You haven't thought about playing a big one?"
"Playing big?" Song Shujian's voice looked a little puzzled, and he hesitated, "Isn't the master planning to let me lead troops to guard Jincheng or Tianshui?"
"No!" Xiao Qianli said with a smile, "At least judging from Huluti's words, Tang Mingli has not yet made up his mind to take the final step, and everything still has a chance to be saved." Because of this, he will never risk the disapproval of the world to conspire with the Xiongnu to plot the great treasure, now it seems that it is just to ask for more benefits and greater power in the name of the Xiongnu, in this case, it is better to ......"
Song Shujian seemed to have finally gotten rid of his decadence, his tone became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "I understand the meaning of the mastery!"
Letting go of the sound transmission spirit stone, Xiao Qianli left the hut easily, and Li Chengyuan, Miao Lin and others saw him come out and greeted him one after another.
"That person is useless!" Xiao Qianli's eyes fell on Miao Lin and Qin Weiye, "I left him alive before, just to ask one thing clearly, but now that I have obtained important information, this person will be sent to the two of them to comfort the two people who died in the battle!"
Miao Lin and Qin Weiye have long hated the fox deer to the bone, especially Qin Weiye, more than half of the Qin family's casualties overnight were all thanks to this person, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard the words, and bowed down and said: "Thank you for teaching!"
"Yiyi!" Xiao Qianli looked at Yun Qianyi again, "Can you go north with me?"
Yun Qianyi immediately bowed down and said, "Obey the master's orders!"
"Master, what about me?" Li Chengyuan suddenly became anxious, he was born in the military, so he naturally knew that the master was about to make a big move, but unexpectedly, the master brought Yun Qianyi with him, and he couldn't help but say in a hurry, "The disciple is also a scout, and having a disciple to accompany the master must also come in handy." ”
"You better go back to Kunlun Mountain honestly!" Xiao Qianli hesitated, thinking of Tang Ziyi, he still decided to leave Li Chengyuan behind, and comforted, "It's not easy for Miss Tang to come to Kunlun, you accompany her more, don't be in a hurry." ”
Li Chengyuan opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word, and said in a dejected voice: "Yes!"
Xiao Qianli originally planned to leave immediately, but unexpectedly, Miao Lin and Qin Weiye were desperately stopped, and they refused to let go after the banquet. Xiao Qianli couldn't do it, so he had to stay for a long time, and then he took Yun Qianyi to take the eagle.
After the two left, Qin Weiye came to the hut with a knife, and with just one knife, he cut off the head of the delirious Huluti, and pitied a strong general in the Hun army, but he died inexplicably. Qin Weiye came to the backyard with the head, and Miao Lin had already set up an incense case, and the two of them offered the head, burning incense and praying without mentioning it.
Tang Ziyi had been crazy outside for most of the day, and then he returned to Miao Mansion with satisfaction, and when he saw Li Chengyuan, he immediately smiled, looking for some interesting things and chattering non-stop.
"Ah-" Tang Ziyi suddenly remembered something, clapped his hands, and shouted, "I forgot, I met a few bearded gentiles in the market, who looked quite vicious, and asked around about the fox deer we caught!"
"Huh?" Li Chengyuan, who was still outside the spirit object, was suddenly slightly startled and asked, "What about those people?"
"It's still in the east of the city......" Before Tang Ziyi's words were finished, a slender jade hand had already been grabbed by Li Chengyuan, and he stood up impatiently, "Ziyi, take me quickly!"
But it was said that Xiao Qianli and Yun Qianyi were walking on an eagle, Yun Qianyi looked at the direction in which the two were flying, and the more she looked, the more suspicious she became, and asked loudly in surprise: "Master, where are we going?"
"Tang Feng wants to borrow our hands to defeat the signs of turmoil, although we disdain to be used as guns, but there are still some things that have to be done!" Xiao Qianli's voice came from afar in the wind, "I haven't seen that Tang Mingli before, so I just went to see him and see what this person was thinking." ”
