Dongyi! Go to Beijing! Court!
This period of time has been full of twists and turns. Every once in a while, the court will become restless. Today, there are fluctuations again. It can even be said to be an uproar!
Early in the morning, all the courtiers were called up again!
"Your Majesty, if the old minister's prediction is correct, the target of this enemy force may be... our country is all going to the capital!" Xiao Hanqing, the general of the South, himself was a little unconfident about the result of his speculation. In fact, this may be too much. A bit absurd. Even if the capital of their Dongyi Kingdom becomes empty, it is still the capital of a country, and not everyone can easily touch it.
It seems that this guess of his has become the most appropriate guess based on the enemy's advance route.
Among the series of military attaches in the Dongyi court, the highest-status official position is called "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses". Not just anyone can serve as Generalissimo, he must be a member of the royal family, preferably the heir to the throne.
The Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses is not a permanent official position. In many cases, it is just a noble title, and he must lead troops to fight. Although he is the head of the military attache, it does not mean that he has the real ability to command troops. The symbolic significance of this position is greater than its practical significance.
Moreover, although this position exists, in most cases there are no candidates, and now this position is also empty.
On top of the generals of the world's military forces, there are generals from the four directions, southeast, northwest, and generals. The generals of the east and generals of the south are mostly served by children of the clan, and sometimes by children of the Xiao family, and this term's east general is Yelu Lei. , General Nan is Xiao Hanqing.
From this, it can be seen that Xiao Hanqing has a high status in the Dongyi Court. He is already one of the top people in the Dongyi Court.
"What a group of enemies!"
"You are so bold! You are really so bold!" As soon as Xiao Hanqing said this, whispers continued to be heard in the court. Most of them were laughing at the enemy's boldness and overestimation of his capabilities, and a small part of them were talking about Xiao Hanqing's The analysis felt ridiculous. They really didn't think the enemy was that bold. The comparison of strength between the two sides is obviously not on the same level. How could the other side easily come over and hit the stone with an egg?
Yes, now, the traces of the large group of people led by Wang Shengzhi, Wen Zhong and others have been leaked at this time. There is nothing that can be done about this. After all, the road from Nanping Road to Shangjing Mansion is long, and there are countless Dongyi cities that need to be passed through.
The Dongyi people are not blind or deaf, so there is no way they could not notice such a large number of people passing by their city! Not to mention, Wen Zhong had to stay for a while and go deep alone. He had to make advance preparations for the return journey along the way.
Therefore, the exposure of the whereabouts of this large group of people was a matter of time from the beginning. Regarding this point, Wang Yu, Xun You, and Gao Jiong never expected from the beginning that they could really hide their whereabouts.
Besides, along the way, this large group of people must have replenished their food and grass, and where did their food and grass come from? It is impossible for them to carry it with them all the way! They are marching in a hurry, and they usually only carry three days' worth of food and grass with them, and no more than seven days at most.
Therefore, if you run out of food on the way, you can only continue to make plans for Dongyi! Based on this alone, it is impossible for them to hide their tracks!
But what if they didn't hide their whereabouts? What if the enemy notices their whereabouts? With Dongyi's current strength in various cities, is it possible that they still have the ability to go out of the city to stop them?
"Xiao Aiqing, how sure are you about this matter?" Yeludesi asked with a frown.
To be fair, he didn't believe that this group of enemy troops dared to come to his capital. How was this any different from seeking death?
Yes, this group of enemy troops is indeed powerful. Li Jianyuan's 80,000 troops have never defeated the opponent, but it was a field battle, and there was a huge difference between it and a siege battle.
Apart from anything else, this group of enemy troops didn't even have any decent siege equipment, so it was impossible to use war horses to ram their walls. If that was the case, then Yeludesi would let him bump into him, and even welcome him to bump into him.
Not to mention that the enemy only has 20,000 people at most. Even if the opponent has 100,000 people, can he still trample his city wall just by hitting the city wall with his war horses? I really thought his city walls were made of paper!
"Eight points! No! Ten points!" The more he said, the more determined Xiao Hanqing's tone became.
Although there are many important cities in Zhongping Road, no matter how you compare them, they cannot compare with the capital of Shangjing. If it wasn't for the purpose of going to the capital, why would this group of enemy troops take such a big risk to come to Zhongping Road?
You must know that at this time, the frontline army has detached part of its troops to return to Nanping Road to support Nanping Road. It is already on the road. If this group of enemy troops comes to Zhongping Road at this time, it is very likely that their retreat will be blocked.
After all, if the enemy army wants to return to Da Cang at this moment, there are only two ways. The first road is naturally from Xiping Road to Da Cang Yan North Road, and the second road is from where they came. The road back then was from Nanping Road to Da Cang via the sea road.
But their army is already there on the front line of Xiping Road. The most important thing is that to the south is Ten Thousand Pingchuan, but to the west there are many checkpoints and dead ends, and there are reinforcements on the way to Nanping Road!
Therefore, if the enemy comes to Zhongping Road at this time, instead of returning quickly before their reinforcements arrive, the plan must be quite big!
After excluding those impossible guesses, although the remaining guess is relatively absurd, Xiao Hanqing can only believe his guess! At the same time, it is precisely because this guess is too absurd that they sometimes have to take it seriously. In many cases, this absurd thing is closer to the correct answer to everything.
"Your Majesty, I also agree with General Nan's analysis!" Old Prime Minister Gao Zhuyuan also spoke up at this time.
After Li Jianyuan's defeat, a major event that shocked Dongyi, Gao Zhuyuan was worried about state affairs, so he returned to the court regardless of his old body. Until this moment, he still has not left.
This time, the real bosses have already spoken. Even if the remaining people are still united in their hearts, they don't dare to whisper in the court like just now. After all, this boss's prestige is indeed strong enough, and many of his former disciples are still in high positions.
Moreover, Gao Zhuyuan has been prime minister for decades and has experienced more than one major event that affected the entire Dongyi, but in the end he made the most appropriate choice. These people don’t dare to question the old prime minister’s judgment easily!
"Your Majesty, although this matter is ridiculous, if the enemy's target is really me going to the capital, we must not take it lightly!..."
