Liu Mingzhi looked at Song Qing silently: "Customization? What is customization? Although I went to the battlefield in person, I was only an outsider watching from a distance, and I would not interfere with any of the steps in this battle."
"That won't work either. There are many scouts in the army. Once they discover that we went to the battlefield in person and it spreads among the army, have you ever thought about the consequences?
Don’t you want what happened a few days ago to happen again in front of the two armies?
When the time comes, once your appearance causes disunity in the military and affects the great cause of the country, who will be responsible for this crime, and who can bear it?
You have told me more than once before that you should treat this Northern Expedition as an outsider.
Now how can you stop sitting still and break the rules you have set? "
Liu Mingzhi's expression condensed, he looked at Song Qing speechlessly, and his palms caressed the edge of the sand table and wandered around.
"Brother, you know very well that with our strength, the scouts will not be able to find our traces."
"Yes, the scouts can't find any trace of us, but that doesn't mean they can't see us. People make mistakes and horses stumble. Once the scouts observe our traces, they can't find us.
Then the scouts will regard us as spies from both countries who are deep behind enemy lines. Once reported, it will cause panic.
Once Mr. Yun takes this matter seriously, he will inevitably think wildly and take some defensive measures that he shouldn't have in the first place.
In this way, major military events will also be delayed.
Especially in this national war, Yingzhou in northern Xinjiang is the most important fortress hub. Without you in command, how can the battle report be sent to the DPRK without your approval when it comes to the city?
Fortunately, the good news is good. If an emergency military situation arises and the imperial court needs to come forward to make a decision, and the war opportunity is delayed, how will you explain to the brothers in the Northern Expedition, and how will you explain to the imperial court.
Third brother, I understand that because of Wanyan Chiazhao's military deployment based on intelligence, you were worried about the safety of Wanyan's siblings, mother and daughter. For a moment, everything was in chaos. You wanted to go to the battlefield in person, and planned to intervene in this matter when necessary.
But you have already handed this matter over to Cheng Kai and his thirty brothers, and you have three nephews to cheer them on.
What 300,000 cavalrymen can't do, what can you change if you go alone?
The Tiger Talisman Seal of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces is no longer in your hands.
Could you please calm down?
You are in such a confused state of mind that you are undoubtedly in a state of confusion! "
Liu Mingzhi watched Song Qing stare at him with somewhat reproachful eyes, and fell weakly on the chair behind him.
"Brother, you are right, just wait.
Concern leads to chaos, and I must not mess up my position.
You can continue to speculate on the attack steps, while I go to take a nap behind the screen. "
Song Qing nodded silently: "Squint for a while and calm down."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, said nothing more, and walked towards the screen behind the screen with a sad expression.
Ren Qingrui on the side wanted to call out to Young Master Liu and tell him that this is the place where he gave himself a rest, and it would be wrong for you to rest there again.
Then I thought, this is someone else's study, and I am just a 'guest'. What right do I have to stop the owner from resting in his own study!
Watching Liu Mingzhi's figure disappear in front of the screen, Ren Qingrui looked at Song Qing, who was heroic and solemn.
This further strengthened the speculation about Young Master Liu’s identity.
Although not a single word in the conversation between the two revealed Da Guoguo's identity, the content of their words revealed Da Guoguo's identity as the one-word king.
Ren Qingrui was excited and worried at the same time.
She was excited to have King Bingjian help her find her father, which would definitely get twice the result with half the effort, but Wang Daguoguo's purpose of finding her father made Ren Qingrui's heart tremble.
What if King Da Guoguo is looking for his father to seek revenge on him?
Liu Mingzhi's mood was messed up because of the intelligence matter, how could Song Qing be better off.
He had no time to focus on Ren Qingrui. He held the intelligence in one hand and the command flag in the other and patrolled the sand table.
Even Ren Qingrui stood aside curiously watching her movements without paying any attention.
............
There are twelve cities in the southern border of Jin Kingdom, including Songzhou, Muzhou and the two border towns and fortresses.
Just as the Liu Mingzhi brothers deduced, after General Yun led his troops out of the customs, he did not go directly to Shizhou, but detoured to the two cities of Songzhou and Muzhou in the southwest of the Jin Kingdom.
The purpose was nothing more than what Liu Mingzhi and his brothers had guessed, which was to kill two birds with one stone by encircling the area with possible reinforcements from the Turks.
Not taking the initiative to attack the Turks, but preventing the Turks from staying out and actively getting involved in the battlefield.
It not only saves the time of the Northern Expedition, but also can use the terrain of the Jin Kingdom to limit the speed advantage of the Turkic cavalry. It can be said that it kills multiple birds with one stone.
The 200,000 cavalry led by Zhang Kuang had already rushed to the outside of Songzhou City to set up camp. While preparing to investigate the strength of the troops in the city, they were also scouting around outside Songzhou City to be on guard against an ambush secretly arranged by the Kingdom of Jin.
Zhang Kuang looked at the map in his hand for a while and handed it to his old brother Dongfang Ming.
"The terrain of Songzhou City is suitable for cavalry attacks, but the Jin Kingdom's defenders will most likely not go out of the city to fight."
Dongfang Ming also held a roll of map in his hand and started looking at it. He raised his head from time to time to compare the surrounding terrain.
"First order the scouts to investigate the surrounding enemy situation. See if the Jin Kingdom has dug horse traps, horse tripping ropes, and tribulus pits under the city walls."
Zhang Kuang rolled up the map and nodded: "Okay, follow the commander's instructions. At the same time, send the generals to write a battle report and prepare to call the formation. We will find out who the generals who defend Songzhou are."
After figuring this out, let's start preparing for the tentative siege after the infantry arrives! "
Dongfang Ming raised his telescope and looked at the southern wall of Songzhou City: "I forgot to go to Bingbian Prince's Mansion for advice before going on the expedition. Songzhou, Jinzhou, Muzhou, and Xingzhou cities had fallen to his cavalry twice in succession. under.
It can be said to be rich in experience.
If we can get his advice on how to attack Songzhou City, we can say that we can get twice the result with half the effort by taking down Songzhou and the two cities of Muzhou. "
"Alas, brother Dongfang, the past has passed. Now let's ask King Bingjian for advice. If this matter reaches the ears of His Majesty in the capital, I'm afraid our lives will be... don't talk about these troublesome things!"
"Somebody come!"
"The humble position is here!"
"Send an order for three hundred scouts to conduct intensive reconnaissance of the enemy within a radius of fifty miles!"
"Got the order!"
"Ke Yan!"
"The general is here!"
Zhang Kuang took out a piece of cotton from his wristband and handed it to the Lancer General Ke Yan: "Please fight in Songzhou and ask the enemy general for his surname."
"Got the order!"
Keyan carried an iron bow on his back and galloped towards the south gate of Songzhou alone.
"Report, the two cavalry generals, the Jin people have repaired all the gates in Songzhou City."
Zhang Kuang and the two glanced at the scouts who were approaching quickly, looked at each other and immediately got on their horses and rushed towards Songzhou City.
Staying three miles away from Sanli City, they both raised their telescopes and looked at the city gate.
As soon as they arrived, the barbican built in an arc around the city gate was guarded at the city gate, tightly protecting the city gate.
The angle of the urn city was quite rigorous. With their knowledge, they could see at a glance how much it would cost to break into the urn city and attack the city gate.
Zhang Kuang put down the telescope in his hand and breathed out softly: "If there were no artillery, it would cost thousands of soldiers and horses to break into the urn city.
If the moat is connected again in Weng City, the price will be even higher! "
"Brother Zhang, have you ever thought that the purpose of their repairs to Weng City is not to block our attack, but to consume our artillery shells?
Although Wengcheng can block our attack, it will also block their withdrawal speed.
In all likelihood, the Songzhou City garrison believed in fighting to the death. "
Zhang Kuang frowned, nodded silently and sighed slightly.
"They are all brave men who risked their lives generously. It's a pity that we each have our own masters, so we can only fight each other with swords!"
