"here!"
Yunzheng smiled with his finger on the map.
"Suqu?"
Shen Luoyan was puzzled, "Why did you pull Suqu out again?"
"fool!"
Yun Zheng lightly tapped Shen Luoyan on the forehead, "If the Beihuan cavalry really wants to raid in from Langya Pass, why would they attack Shuofang? Wouldn't it be better to go all the way south to Suqu, which is weak in defense?"
The garrison of Suqu is only five thousand!
But how many defenders are there at Shuofang?
That’s more than 100,000!
Although they are all Tian soldiers, they definitely crush Beihuan in terms of numbers!
Moreover, Suqu, as the rear, also stocked up a lot of food.
Suqu is only more than three hundred miles away from Langya Mountain Pass.
The Beihuan cavalry attacked at full speed and could reach Suqu in one day. Other places had no time to support them!
If Shuofang's defenders dare to leave the city to stop the attack, they will play into Beihuan's hands!
Therefore, if the Beihuan cavalry comes in from Langya Pass, the best solution is to attack Suqu directly!
Beihuan pretended to attack the right wing and made a sneak attack from Langya Pass. They were all deceptions!
Their real purpose must be to transfer the Shuofang defenders to Langya Mountain Pass, and then rush in from the Split Wind Canyon to directly cut off the Shuofang defenders' retreat!
Following Yunzheng's analysis, Shen Luoyan and Miaoyin's eyes lit up.
Yunzheng's analysis makes sense.
Previously, their eyes had been on the front line, but they had ignored the rear area of Suqu.
But as long as you pay attention to Suqu, many doubts will be solved.
"But there's something I don't understand."
At this time, Miaoyin suddenly spoke.
"what is the problem?"
Yunzheng asked with interest.
It's a good thing that someone is raising doubts at this time.
If you have any doubts, answer them and you may be able to think of more things.
"Why is Beihuan so sure that we will send troops to ambush them at Langya Mountain Pass?"
Miaoyin frowned and said, "Could it be that the leading generals of Beihuan also expected that you would send people to sneak into their territory to find out information, so they deliberately sent people to bring you false information?"
"Yes!"
After being reminded by Miaoyin, Shen Luoyan also thought about this problem.
If Beihuan's plan is to succeed, they must send their main force to set up an ambush at Langya Mountain Pass.
If they don't move, what's the point of Beihuan using more tricks?
"I think there are three reasons."
Yun Zheng replied: "First, Beihuan may have really expected that we would send people to inquire about the news, so he deliberately passed false news to those soldiers to lure us into being deceived."
"Second, Beihuan may make some small moves in the future to disrupt our line of sight and make us mistakenly think that they will come in through Langya Mountain Pass, thus achieving their goal."
"Third, Beihuan may deliberately leak some information to Wei Wenzhong and ask Wei Wenzhong to order us to lead his troops to set up an ambush at Langya Mountain Pass."
"However, I think the second possibility is more likely..."
The first possibility is a bit taken for granted.
Unless Beihuan's people discovered the ghost eighteen riders he sent over in advance.
The third guess is not very likely either.
Even if Wei Wenzhong wanted to kill himself, he probably would not have ordered him to lead his troops to set up an ambush.
In that case, if something happens to him, Wei Wenzhong will definitely be blamed.
Wei Wenzhong is also a cunning person. If he wants to achieve this goal, he will not directly give himself an order. At most, he will set a trap for himself and let him choose to set up an ambush.
In this way, even if something happens to him, it is his own decision and has nothing to do with Wei Wenzhong.
How it happened, he still doesn't know.
Only by seeing what Bei Huan and Wei Wenzhong are going to do next can we make a judgment.
Shen Luoyan nodded understandingly and snorted: "Beihuan is too arrogant! Just 20,000 people want to consume the power of the Beifu Army? They are not afraid of breaking their teeth!"
Miaoyin smiled and said, "Maybe there are more than 20,000 of them?"
Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "I estimate that only 20,000 people will be able to survive! If Beihuan was less ambitious and just wanted to catch me, he would probably send 10,000 people..."
"Why is this?" Miaoyin was puzzled.
Yun Zheng explained: "The Split Wind Canyon is not conducive to the deployment of cavalry. There are too many people. It will take a long time just to pass through the Gale Canyon! Moreover, there are too many people and the food and grass supplies cannot keep up..."
They had deduced this before.
If we really send 40,000 to 50,000 people, supplies will be a huge problem.
If we really want to go through this trouble, wouldn't it be better to directly attack Suining Guard or Jing'an Guard?
…
Wei Bian.
Banbu, Beihuan Prince Wulie and others discussed the next plan while eating meat.
At this time, the messenger came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Sulutu's troops have secretly set off from Qingbian and are marching to the right wing of Daqian!"
"very good!"
Wulie grabbed the kumiss and took a sip, and then ordered: "Tell Sulutu to keep an eye on the enemy's movements at all times. If you encounter enemy scouts for investigation, you must let them go alive!"
Since you are going to do a show, then do it adequately!
Don't let the people in Daqian see the flaw.
"yes!"
The messenger immediately took the order and left.
Wulie put down the wine bowl and turned to look at Bambu: "National Master, I have another question."
Bambu smiled slightly and said, "Eldest Prince, please speak."
Wulie frowned and said, "What if Yunzheng doesn't lead people to the Langya Mountain Pass to ambush us, but instead blindly chooses to stick to Shuofang?"
Bambu's plan seemed seamless.
But there is a very fatal problem.
That is to ask Yunzheng to go to Langya Mountain Pass to set up an ambush!
Although Bambu has made sufficient preparations to achieve this goal, the final decision on this matter does not lie in Bambu's hands.
It's impossible for Bambu to directly order Yun Zheng to lead his people to set up an ambush at Langya Mountain Pass, right?
If Yun Zheng is timid and refuses to leave the city, then all their arrangements will be meaningless.
Bambu chuckled and replied confidently: "Don't worry, the eldest prince, I have a clever plan of my own! However, I can't talk about this clever plan now."
Um?
Can’t say for now?
Wu Lie was suspicious.
What else can't be said about this?
Is he afraid that someone in the camp will collude with Daqian?
Wulie was secretly suspicious and glanced at everyone silently without asking any more questions.
After eating and drinking, they had almost finished talking.
Wulie asked everyone to leave, and then shunned those around him, leaving Banbu alone.
"Do you suspect that someone in the camp is colluding with Da Gan?"
Only then did Wulie ask Bambu with a gloomy face.
"The eldest prince misunderstood."
Banbu shook his head and said: "This battle is of great significance to me, Beihuan. Please, the eldest prince, do not be suspicious of the generals."
"Then what do you mean?"
Wu Lie was dissatisfied, "What clever idea do you have that you can't tell in front of everyone?"
Bambu smiled helplessly and then replied: "There is no clever plan, only a ruthless plan that will hurt both sides. I am afraid that it will affect the morale of the army before the war, so I didn't say it in front of the generals."
"A ruthless plan?"
Wu Lie frowned and said in a deep voice, "Tell me."
There was no one else present at this time, and Banbu no longer concealed anything, and said slowly: "If Yunzheng does not lead his troops to set up an ambush at Langya Mountain Pass, then we will have no choice but to raid Mayi at all costs!"
"Raid on Mayi?"
Wu Lie pondered for a moment and immediately realized: "Do you want to burn the grain and grass that Da Gan has hoarded in Mayi?"
