early morning.
The first ray of sunshine shone in the Jiangfu Yamen courtyard. Cui Ying'er, Murong Xiu, and Xiong Zhang's group had returned.
After a night of surveillance, it was found that although the West Qin army and the city were talking loudly, their rebellious intentions were not serious. After all, the three states and eighteen prefectures had only known the Jiang family and not the royal family for two hundred years.
If you get used to this kind of thing, you can force yourself to talk a little bit, but no one really cares about the court.
…
Military camp outside the city.
In the commander's tent, dozens of generals gathered together again, all looking haggard. After thinking about it all night yesterday, they found that it was impossible for them to leave the Western Qin Army.
】
Rebellion or something, in short, just follow the Jiang family prince, he can do whatever he wants. The army of the Western Regions is pressing down on the border. In the future war, there is a danger of the whole army being annihilated and dying on the battlefield. Everyone is dead, and there are so many people to care about. What to do?
"These 40,000 elites from the Western Region are all good young men who are good at fighting and controlling strings! It's a pity that they are not of my race, so their minds must be different! There are also those group of princes and princesses, how will the king arrange it?"
Mr. Yuchi was worried, looked at Jiang Yuxi, and said, "Did you convey our thoughts to him yesterday?"
Everyone looked at Jiang Yuxi. Jiang Yuxi's face turned bitter: "I told him last night that he was very angry and said he would make arrangements this morning!"
"Alas!" Mr. Yuchi sighed, "I thought that the young prince would listen to us when he arrived, but that was not the case at all. I heard that the prince said yesterday that we are all idiots, and he can destroy the Western Region with just a snap of his fingers. An army of one million?"
All the generals looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"Da da da……"
There was a rapid sound of horse hooves outside, and then Jiang Man'er rushed into the camp with an ugly face: "The army of the Western Regions is fully attacking! Chunhui Mansion, Mahui Village, and Yanghechang are all in emergency!"
The generals immediately stood up and looked at the terrain map.
One million troops in the Western Region attacked from three directions. The Western Qin Army only had a few hundred thousand troops, and they were divided into three groups. Each group faced nearly ten times the pressure of the enemy.
"Da da……"
The sound of horse hooves came again from outside the tent, and soon Brother Sheng Ling, who had a slovenly beard, opened the tent and rushed in. He glanced around and saluted with fists in his hands: "The Governor has ordered to shrink the front line in an all-round way and abandon Chunhui Mansion, Yangcheng Mansion, Along the lines of Mahuizhai, Yanghechang, and Juwei Grassland, 150,000 troops were withdrawn from Xingling Prefecture and Five Prefectures to guard the three natural dangers of Jinchuan Pass, Ningling Pass, and Mayiguan!
Move all the people in the abandoned land and transfer all the food, grass and baggage! "
"Nonsense!"
Yuchijun and Tuoba defeated several veteran generals and became furious, "If we retreat again, there will be no place to retreat. How can one state and five prefectures support an army of 150,000 and millions of people?"
Tossing Kun suddenly stood up: "We want to see the prince!"
Brother Sheng Ling stepped aside as if the matter had nothing to do with him: "The prince is recruiting 40,000 soldiers from the Western Regions! They are right in front!"
A group of old generals looked at each other, hurried out of the camp, mounted their horses, and went straight to the prisoner camp. When they arrived, they saw only 700 iron floating guards, already recruiting more than 40,000 surrendered troops from the Western Regions.
The young prince was sitting cross-legged on a high general's platform, on a grand master's chair, with more than a dozen accompanying maids and men behind him, all wearing armor.
The autumn sun hung high, making the shadows of a group of people very long.
A group of old generals hurried to the side and saluted each other: "The last general has seen the Governor!"
Xin Zhuoxu raised his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite, and pointed downwards at the endless descending troops from the Western Regions: "How?"
A group of old generals looked around and found that the unruly foreign troops surrendered. In the past, they could surrender, but they would rather die than surrender, but now they accepted the incorporation honestly.
"How did the Governor do it?" Yuchi Jun asked in surprise.
Xin Zhuo waved his robe, pointed to the distance, where there was a huge hole, and said: "Simple! Two thousand Western Region generals, tribal leaders and clan leaders were dug alive and buried alive. The rest are naturally honest, no matter what race they are, from There is no shortage of Ergouzi! I am going to organize the more than 40,000 surrendered troops from the Western Regions into your account, so that the Western Qin army will have 200,000 troops!"
Jiang Guyen was surprised: "With two hundred thousand troops, how can we have enough food and grass?"
Xin Zhuo smiled: "I have just counted the food and grass in the army. If you eat sparingly, you can last for two months!"
"What about in two months?"
The teeth of a group of old generals were chattering. The imperial court was unwilling to send any more food and grass on the pretext that the food route was cut off. It was obvious that the Western Qin soldiers would be killed. This was something that made them extremely distressed. If there is no food and grass replenishment in two months, let alone twenty Ten thousand troops, even 150,000 Western Qin soldiers collapsed without fighting.
Xin Zhuo looked at everyone: "Two months later, one million troops in the Western Region will be destroyed, and the Thirteen Kingdoms will be destroyed. Our Western Qin has expanded its territory by five thousand miles, and has millions of people who can control the strings!"
A group of old generals have their scalps numb. This is too ridiculous. Are you kidding?
"I wonder where the Governor got his confidence?"
There was a hint of serious questioning on Yuchi Shuozhen's heroic face, "Please, Grand Governor, please stop boasting. Please tell us real things and effective plans. Otherwise, how can you convince the public?"
Bai Xuanji hesitated for a moment and then said: "Students are also very confused. Please help me clarify my confusion!"
"Please clarify the confusion, Chief Supervisor!"
Nearly a hundred generals performed military salutes and asked questions.
"You might as well broaden your horizons and take a look outside the battlefield!"
Xin Zhuo dismissed a large group of miscellaneous generals, leaving only a group of veteran generals who had been studied and trusted. He looked at the vast land in the distance and the distorted horizon under the autumn sun, "Why did the Thirteen-Nation Alliance want to conquer the land of Western Qin?"
A group of old generals don't know why. Is there any other reason for this? Seizing land and population, and being a mortal enemy of the Zhou Dynasty itself, that's all.
Xin Zhuo smiled and said: "First, they want the vast West River and Nine Waters Corridor, the Three Thousand Miles of Horse Plains with fertile water and grass, and the flower-filled West Qin land of three states and eighteen prefectures!
Secondly, they may have been deceived by people with great intentions in the Zhou Dynasty, thinking that they could completely destroy the Western Qin army and carve up the land of the three states and eighteen prefectures! Not only did they gain land and population, but they also destroyed the enemy of life and death! Destroy the sword hanging above your head! Right or wrong? "
A group of generals looked at each other. Yes, the little prince's analysis was correct. What next?
Xin Zhuo continued: "Now that they have got most of what they want, we have even reduced the front line to show weakness and give them enough sweetness. What will happen to the soldiers in the Western Regions at this time?"
Lord Yuchi cupped his hands in salute: "At this time, the soldiers from the Western Regions are proud. In fact, they now look down on our soldiers from the Western Qin Dynasty. Even if they think about how to restrain several famous generals in Qi, they are still arrogant!"
"Very good! Let's not say stupid things about arrogant soldiers being defeated!" Xin Zhuo said with a smile: "What if my 200,000 Western Qin soldiers shrink the front line from now on, rely on Xiongguan, and resist desperately, and they won't be able to bite or eat?"
A group of generals looked at each other, they were a little confused, they couldn't chew it, but they still couldn't surround it to death?
Xin Zhuo said: "You have to know the principle of making great efforts, then weakening, and exhausting yourself. The countries in the Western Region have average national strength, poor land, and more than one million soldiers. It is too much for them, and it is impossible for them not to worry about it. The unknown front army of the Great Zhou Palace and the Shence Army, therefore, after being unable to defeat us in a short period of time, the morale of the army will definitely be shaken!
certainly! We can't rely on them alone to sway, this is wrong, we can't be too naive! "
Xin Zhuo stood up, looked directly at the generals, and once again confirmed that they all believed it, he lowered his voice and said: "At this time, we must subdue the enemy's troops without fighting and attack the enemy's rear! First, send out eloquent envoys The royal families of various countries tell their kings that it is impossible for the Great Zhou Dynasty to abandon the land of Western Qin. When our Western Qin army defeats the last one, their tired soldiers from the Thirteen Kingdoms will face the wrath of the other armies of the Great Zhou Dynasty waiting for work, and they will definitely be destroyed in one battle. Let them weigh their possibilities and use their brains.
Secondly, they used the captured princesses and princes from various countries to bribe their harem concubines with money, jewelry, silk and jade, and flaunted them in front of the emperors of various countries!
Third, bribe the domestic political enemies of the leading generals in the Western Regions and tell them that the Western Region generals are planning to rebel. If they do not retreat, the country will be in danger!
Fourth, make friends from far away and attack closely, and lobby the enemy countries behind the Thirteen Kingdoms. The Thirteen Kingdoms are already empty. The Western Qin soldiers will tightly suppress the main armies of each country and make them backstab and sneak attacks. I believe they are not fools, they will know what to do. Once our Western Qin soldiers If defeated, the strength of the Thirteen Kingdoms will increase greatly, and their bunch of bastards will have no hope of survival.
Fifth, send a death camp to bypass Mengyang Mountain and harass the food routes of the Western Regions army every day! Set fires and floods, but we can't let them get what they want!
Sixth, I will create a plague and spread it to the Western Region Army camp!
Seventh, always pay attention to the movements of the army in the Western Regions. I want to know them well, even if they fart, they will be transferred to my account! "
After a pause, he looked at the pale and confused generals: "These things have been carefully planned. We are just waiting to discuss with you and send out the most suitable candidates! In these two months, we will not fight! If you withstand their attack, you will win! Can you do it?"
A group of veteran generals including Jiang Guyen, Yuchijun, Tuoba Kedi, Zheteng Kun, and Lin Haotian were so convinced that they immediately knelt down on one knee and performed a military salute: "General, please take your orders!"
Yuchi Shuozhen, Jiang Maner, Bai Xuanji, including Sheng Lingge and Sai Qingzhu also knelt down at the same time.
For a moment, only Xin Zhuo stood around!
The generals suddenly understood the truth that "those who are good at fighting have no great military achievements". These things were things they had never thought about, or had thought about similar things, and their minds were confused and incomplete.
These things are not nonsense or paper talk, but are very likely to be successful and effective!
The overall view, vision and structure of the little prince in front of him have transcended the military campaign itself. His thoughts are delicate and he sees things accurately, which can be said to be a bloody sight!
This is no longer arrogance, but really has something to say, is really capable, and is the skill of a leader!
"This matter must not be left unnoticed, monitor each other, and proceed strictly!"
Xin Zhuo turned around and went back, mounted his war horse, and glanced at everyone: "I would like to say it in public, just because I can trust you, I hope it will be effective in two months!"
After a pause: "I have an ambition to annihilate a million troops from the Western Regions in one battle. I want to drink in the palaces of various countries in the Western Regions, steal their money, and play with their queens and princesses!"
"Here!"
