Wan Yan Gao summoned Wan Yan Zonghan, Wan Yan Zongwang, and Wan Yan Zongbi to discuss the military the next day.

Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zongbi said: "See Fifth Uncle." ”

Wanyan Zonghan said: "See Lord Dutong." ”

Wan Yan Gao said: "Everyone, please take a seat first." Liaoxi Jing rebelled impermanently, some time ago, I made people surrender to no avail, but I could only attack the city again. Dare I ask you what you can do?"

Wanyan Zonghan said: "With the strength of our army, it is not difficult to break through Datong Mansion again. You might as well break the Xijing Datong Mansion first, and then take the Nanjing Xijin Mansion. ”

Wanyan Zongwang said: "I have the same intention as my cousin, after taking Xijing, I can divide the troops into two routes, the main force will attack Nanjing, and at the same time, choose an elite army to capture the rest of Xijing Road." ”

Wan Yan Gao said: "Wushu, what is your good plan?"

Wanyan Zongbi said: "Back to the fifth uncle, I think it is better to besiege the city for two months, and then attack the city when the soldiers in the city are exhausted and their morale is low, so that we can reduce the casualties of our army." ”

Wan Yan Gao said: "In the late winter and early spring, my Dajin army was stationed in the suburbs, and the wind and cold were raging. If the army can be stationed in Datong Province, the soldiers and generals can withstand the cold and recuperate. ”

Wanyan Zongbi said: "It's cold, why be afraid." If the siege of the city is in February, then the city will be full of mourning, and our army will not attack itself. ”

Wan Yan Gao said: "Wushu, in your opinion, how to implement the siege plan?"

Wanyan Zongbi said: "Fifth uncle, you lead the Chinese army to sit outside the Gongji Gate of Datong Mansion, the second brother and cousin respectively lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to be stationed outside the Yingchun Gate of Datong Mansion, and I lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to be stationed outside the Dingxi Gate of Datong Mansion, except for the exit of Chaoyang Gate. ”

Wanyan Zonghan said: "Fourth prince, do you mean to let the people in Xijing City gradually lose and then become an isolated and empty city?"

Wanyan Zongbi said: "What my cousin said is extremely true. ”

Wanyan Zongwang said: "Although the fourth brother's plan is wonderful, but you need to know that Wulong Villa is located in Datong Mansion, if Xiao Tianba leaves Datong Mansion from Chaoyangmen, if we want to find the first volume of "Zhenguan Soldiers", it may be impossible." ”

Wanyan Zonghan said: "Xiao Tianba is the wife of the royal family of Liao, not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and Wulong Villa exists in Datong Mansion, so he will not leave Datong Mansion." ”

Wanyan Zongwang thought of the scene of meeting Zhen Yue in the hotel before, and hoped that this gratitude would be repaid as soon as possible.

After Yan Zongwang returned to the barracks, Zhen Yue got up to greet him. After seeing Yan Zongwang's slightly disappointed expression, Zhen Yue stepped forward and handed over a bowl of hot tea.

Wanyan Zong said: "The fifth uncle listened to the plan of the fourth brother, and tentatively planned to attack the city after February. ”

Zhen Yue said: "The four princes' intentions must be reasonable. ”

Wanyan Zong said: "The fourth brother's plan to besiege the city is indeed in line with the art of war, but in this way, the day when Zhen Yixian will find the first volume of the "Zhenguan Soldiers" will be postponed. ”

Zhen Yue said: "It's okay, since the decision of your army to postpone the siege of the city has been decided, I can only wait patiently." ”

Wanyan Zong said, "Right now in February, I don't know what Zhen Yixian's plans are?"

Zhen Yue smiled: "Can you teach me some tactics of war?"

Wanyan Zong said: "Since Zhen Yixian is prosperous, I will definitely teach him." ”

Wanyan Zongwang sat down on the main seat, flipped through the books on the table, and said, "You might as well start by setting up camp." ”

Zhen Yue looked at Yan Zongwang's serious expression, thinking that in the next two months, he would definitely be able to understand the tactics of the Jin Army.

Zhen Yue said: "Be taught with an open mind. ”

Wanyan Zongwang said: "When the weather is hot and dry, it is not suitable to camp around the dense forest. When the snow melts due to heavy rain, it is not advisable to camp in low-lying areas. When the enemy is weak and strong, you should choose a place where it is easy to detect the enemy's situation and easy to defend and retreat. When the strong bully the weak, camp in a place where traffic is strong, where roads are choked, and where they are prone to rapid attacks. ”

Wanyan Zong saw Zhen Yue's expression as if he didn't understand, and said, "Zhen Yixian, would you like to look down on the top of the mountain with me?"

Zhen Yue smiled: "I can't ask for it." ”

Wanyan Zongwang and Zhen Yue put on their coats and rode their horses to the top of the mountain. Zhen Yue looked at the golden camp at the bottom of the mountain, and was quite shocked in his heart.

Wanyan Zong looked at it and said, "Zhen Yixian, please look at the camp between the two mountains on the west side of Datong Mansion. ”

Zhen Yue said knowingly: "This camp guards the official road to the west, and if the Liao army of Datong Mansion wants to break through to the west, it will definitely be blocked." ”

Wanyan Zong looked at it and said, "That's the Wushu Department." ”

Zhen Yue said: "With the four princes sitting here, the Liao army will definitely not be able to move west. ”

Wanyan Zong said: "Zhen Yixian, have you ever thought that if a Liao army from the west side of the Wushu Army and the Liao army in the city of Datong Mansion join forces to attack the Wushu Department, what should we do?"

Zhen Yue pretended to shake his head, but he really wanted to smell Yan Zongwang's meaning.

Wanyan Zong looked at it and said, "Since the Wushu Department is stationed here, it must be confident. In the west of Xijing Road in Liao, there is our Dajin Wanyan Hulu army, and the Hulu capital has already defeated the Liao army within a radius of 100 miles, and the Liao army is unable to move eastward. Even if the Wushu Department was attacked by the two armies inside and outside the city, with its strength, even if it was not victorious, it would not be defeated, but would create siege fighters for the other departments. ”

Zhen Yue said: "Because the four princes have drawn out the power in the city, causing the city to be empty?"

Wanyan Zong said, "Exactly." ”

Zhen Yue said: "According to the intention of the second prince, from the location of the camp and the strength of the army, you can see the military intention and the surrounding war situation?"

Wanyan Zong said: "That's true. ”

Zhen Yue saw that the two golden camps under the mountain were divided into the north and south of the eastern suburbs of Datong Mansion, and they were fighting each other, and said: "According to the layout of the camp between the second prince and General Zong Han, can it be seen that the strength of the Liao army in Nanjing Province should not be underestimated?"

Wanyan Zongwang smiled: "How can you see it?"

Zhen Yue said: "The second prince and General Zong Han are both 10,000 enemies, and the camp is so close not only because of your friendship on weekdays, but also to guard against the Liao army that may attack from the east. ”

Wanyan Zong said: "Zhen Yixian is really extremely smart, and he can get through at one point. However, the method of camping in a corner should not be abused. ”

Zhen Yue said: "I would like to hear it in detail." ”

Wanyan Zong said: "If you encounter a strong enemy, not only can you not help each other, but it is easy for the enemy to cut through it and break it separately. Otherwise, it's counterproductive. ”

Zhen Yue said: "I see. ”

Wanyan Zongwang said: "The camp on the north plain of Datong Mansion is the military camp of my Dajin Wanyan Gao Army, and the fifth uncle camps on the plain, which can be connected to the east and west, and if there is a war situation, he will rush to help at any time, and at the same time cut off the road to the north of the Liao army of Datong Mansion." ”

Zhen Yue said: "The method of camping is already so broad and profound, presumably the method of marching and arranging the formation will only become more unpredictable. ”

Wanyan Zong looked at and said: "Zhen Yixian, after you and I return to the camp, I will teach you the layout of the camp." ”

Zhen Yue sat on horseback and looked back at the light snow. The figures of the two gradually disappeared into the snow.
