Chapter 17 New Trends

In a flash, the two of them had disappeared from the same place, and by the time they reappeared, they had already appeared in the staff courtyard.

This staff house and the government hall are different shapes, dozens of buildings are like a queue, neatly distributed on both sides of the school field, so that the entire staff house exudes a solemn atmosphere. There are many statues on both sides of the road, each of which is lifelike, as if possessed by a heroic soul, making people feel that they are still alive here, and watching everyone here, reminding them of the past.

On the school ground, columns of soldiers are lining up in military formations, accompanied by the small drum beats, stepping forward again and again.

In the government hall in the distance, many staff officers are busy sending various materials into it, so that the people who are discussing inside can know the local situation and then make correct decisions.

After they saw Xiao Feng and Xiao Yue appear, they all leaned over and complained, "Welcome to the arrival of the lord." ”

"It doesn't matter. Go ahead and go about your business. Xiao Feng waved her hand, and immediately let these people return to their original places and continue the things in their hands, and after she stepped into the staff house, and saw that everyone was looking at her, she asked: "It's just that what do you think about the changes in the Mongolian army now?"

At present, the Mongolian army is divided into two routes, one is led by Zhang Rou and stationed in Yuzhou, so that our attention can be placed in the Tongguan area, and the other road is in charge of Kuoduan and Ba Sipa, who are currently stationed in the Gyeongju area. ”

"Then how do you think the other party will act?" Xiao Feng asked again.

Cheng Feng continued to reply: "If our guess is correct, the other party is afraid that they will not take the route of Zhenning, Sanshui or even Yaozhou." Although this route is the shortest, there is also water transportation support along the way. But this route is too obvious, there are mountains and rivers blocking the way, if we set up checkpoints along the way, we can naturally block the other party. After a pause, he replied with some apprehension: "But according to Mongolia's habits, I'm afraid that I won't take this road!"

"Why?"

Xiao Feng already had an idea in her heart, but she wanted to see if the person in front of her was qualified, so she continued to ask.

"It's simple. Because if you want to pass through this road, it will require a lot of manpower and material resources to attack, and with the current situation of Mongolia, it is simply difficult to support. Therefore, if the other party wants to fight quickly, then the only way to do it is to take advantage of the Song Dynasty, spare our army's frontal defense, and attack us directly from the back. Cheng Feng only spent a moment on the sand table and drew a big arc.

And the cities that this arc passes through are not only Gyeongzhao Province, but also Cheongju, Lingzhou, Fengxiang Province and other cities that belonged to the Southern Dynasties.

"Detour to the Southern Song Dynasty?" Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think of the past.

More than ten years ago, Xingyuan Mansion was slaughtered by Mongolia for the same reason.

She will never forget all this.

Cheng Feng replied, "That's right. And according to the usual Mongolian means of warfare, I am afraid that this time they will definitely do it. ”

"Is there any way to stop it?" Xiao Yue asked a little anxiously.

At the beginning, when her father was in charge of Xingyuan Mansion, he was slaughtered by the Mongols, if the other party really followed this path for the last time, I am afraid that the whole of Sichuan will be made into hell by this group of dead and murderous demons, and no one will be spared.

"It's a pity. At present, these places are all under the control of the Southern Dynasty, and if we want to send troops, I am afraid that the Southern Dynasty may not allow this. Chengfeng shook his head, revealing helplessness.

At the beginning, the opening of the territory to Mongolia has caused great trouble, and it has caused the whole Sichuan to fall into erosion.

This matter has become a stain on the ministers in the Southern Song Dynasty, and no one will bring it up, for fear that the next Xingyuan Mansion massacre will break out again. At that time, under the surging emotions of the crowd, it is an immortal figure like Zheng Qingzhi, who is afraid that he will also step down from the political hall.

Xiao Feng looked at Xiao Yue's body and shook, then walked to his side, held his slightly cold hand, and incorporated a bit of True Yuan into his body, making his body feel a little warmer, and said: "Then can you get in touch with the Southern Dynasty?" If you can inform them and let them prepare in advance, they should be able to block Mongolia very well. ”

"It seems that this is the only way. ”

Cheng Feng looked annoyed, obviously not holding out hope for the Song Dynasty.

After ten years, the whole of Sichuan has never come out of the chaos caused by the Mongol raids, Wu Xi's rebellion and other events, which shows how corrupt the bureaucracy of the Southern Dynasties was.

"If you add my handwritten letter, the other party will pay a little attention to it. Moreover, Yu Jue, who is now serving as the envoy of Sichuan, is also a person who understands the general situation, so he should be prepared. Xiao Feng saw that everyone was helpless, so he complained from the side.

Cheng Feng's expression was indifferent, obviously not expecting this: "I hope so." ”

"That being the case, we can't just count on the Southern Dynasties. What arrangements do you have for dealing with the Mongol army?" Xiao Feng opened his mouth to remind and continued to ask.

"In response to the other side's actions, we have drawn up three plans. Chengfeng complained again.

Xiao Feng thought about it for a while, and then said, "Three plans, are they attacks in three directions?"

"That's right. Although a detour through Sichuan and an attack from behind is the most likely route chosen by the other side, the rest of the routes are also correspondingly possible, so naturally they cannot be unguarded. Cheng Feng explained, and then began to fully explain the strategy that everyone had discussed.

"If the other party launches an attack from Ningzhou. Then we will lay defensive lines in the cities along the way, this route is very far away, and there are deserts and mountains and rivers in the middle of the way, so it can be said that it is difficult to cross. But this route is better than a surprise, if the other side sends a light army, the starry night gallop may also threaten us. Therefore, I plan to arrange soldiers to guard the cities along the way, at most 1,000 and as little as 300, to maintain the defensive line, so as to maximize the consumption of the enemy's living force, so that when the other party comes to Jingzhao Mansion, we can wait for the rest and annihilate the other party in one fell swoop. ”

"But if the other party has Zhang Rou to attack from Tongguan, of course, this route is the least likely, but it is not impossible. After all, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Qin Dynasty also had the lesson of losing Tongguan. After Tongguan, there is the vast field of Hanzhong, if the other party breaks into it, this thousand miles of fertile fields will fall under the hooves of the enemy, it is precisely because of this that Tongguan must not be lost. Therefore, at present, the main focus is on defense, if there is an emergency, you can immediately increase the troops, and be sure to ensure that there will be no mistakes in Tongguan. ”

Xiao Feng listened carefully and recognized the first two.

These two, the first is the strategy of Wei to destroy Shu during the Three Kingdoms, and the second is the tactics of Wei to attack Qin at the beginning.

Of course, these two articles are rarely difficult to achieve due to geographical reasons, but if they can be realized, it is enough to threaten the existential crisis of Hanzhong.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Feng stared at Cheng Feng and asked again, "What about the last one?"

"The last one: If Mongolia really invades Sichuan, then the most likely route for the other side is to enter from Fengxiang Mansion and attack Hanzhong from Wugongxian, Fengtian County and other places. This place is less than 200 miles away from Jingzhao Mansion, and if you are a star galloping day and night, it only takes two days to reach it. At that time, we will have too little time to react, and even if we repel the other party, we will suffer a lot of losses. ”

Speaking of this last one, Cheng Feng's expression had already dimmed.

This last one seems to be a lot of trouble and needs to be reached by a detour from Sichuan, but it is well versed in the art of war to avoid the strong and attack the weak, even if it is a short failure, it can completely destroy the opponent's agricultural system, which can be said to be the weakness of the Red Phoenix Army.

Otherwise, why would the people in the General Staff think that Mongolia would take this route?

"What about your opinion?" Xiao Feng also frowned, secretly thinking about how to deal with it.

Cheng Feng gritted his teeth and immediately complained: "Only by taking the initiative can we change the passive situation!"

"Take the initiative?" Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "You mean to take the initiative to launch an attack and control Fengxiang Mansion in our sphere of influence?" It is no wonder that she is so shocked, just because this Fengxiang Mansion is the territory of the Song Dynasty, if the Chifeng Army really sends troops, it will undoubtedly tear the skin with the Song Dynasty and form an antagonistic situation.

At that time, if the Song Dynasty also launched an attack on the Red Phoenix Army, the Red Phoenix Army, which was attacked on both sides, was afraid that it would be really difficult to exist in this world.

"That's not the way. ”

Cheng Feng's expression was solemn, and he persuaded: "If the lord is willing to accept the gift of the Southern Dynasty, if there is a crisis in Fengxiang Mansion at that time, then the lord will have a reason to send troops, and then take this opportunity to control Fengxiang Mansion and the surrounding cities in his hands, and he can completely get rid of the constraints." ”

When Xiao Fengcha heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and scolded in a low voice: "The Southern Dynasty has given you, you mean, let me surrender to the Southern Dynasty?" The tone was very unkind, and it was obviously angry.

To be honest, when the Song Dynasty sent Jia Nidao and Li Tingzhi to recruit Xiao Feng, the reason why Xiao Feng refused the other party was because she considered that her subordinates might not accept it, and she had always been unruly, and it was difficult to endure many etiquettes of the Southern Dynasty, so she directly refused.

This move also caused a lot of criticism among the Red Phoenix Army, but because of Xiao Feng's strength, everyone didn't say much.

Moreover, Xiao Feng is also very fair, and they are also afraid that the Southern Dynasty may send some unreliable guys over, which will ruin the goal of everyone's efforts.

"Far from it. Cheng Feng saw that Xiao Feng was actually angry, and hurriedly explained: "It's just a temporary perch, if there is a chance in the future, we can usurp the dynasty and stand on our own, so why bother with those guys?"

Xiao Feng was quite helpless, shook his head and complained: "I'm just afraid that if we really join the Southern Dynasty, then how can those ministers sit back and watch us grow smoothly? When the time comes, if we want to get rid of its shackles, I am afraid it will be even more difficult. ”
