On the one hand, there is a free and easy prince who holds military power.
On the one hand, there is the emperor who holds the power of life and death and overlooks the world...
Imperial power is really tempting, but it is too difficult to get it.
Capturing Jinghua City was only the first step in his journey to conquer the world. He was stationed in Jinghua without any name or status. The kings of the world would definitely be dissatisfied. If an army of 200,000 wanted to sweep the world, it is estimated that even if it takes ten or eight years, it may not be possible. .
The road to imperial power is very difficult. One careless move can lead to defeat.
and……
Today's Long Yan has long been turned into a constitutional monarch by Liu Zheng...
Royalists, how many are left?
How big is the market for imperial power?
These are what Xie Chao is thinking about.
certainly……
For the sake of the throne, he can turn the entire Longyan into a mess.
Although the price is high, it will allow him to win in chaos!
"Military advisor, there is no turning back when you fire your bow. Once this war begins, we will become rebels. At that time, we will face pressure from all over the world."
Xie Chao took a deep breath and said.
"Your Highness is afraid?"
Meng Zan asked with a smile.
"I'm not afraid, it's just that the risk of doing this is too great."
Xie Chao sighed.
In fact, Xie Chao has never been mentally prepared for this. This is too sudden for him.
Their initial plan was that when the Mongol army attacked the city, their Qinwang army would defeat the Mongol army, then enter the city with praise from the whole city, then control the emperor Xie Ming, and hold the emperor hostage to order the princes and the world to move forward slowly. .
But what they didn't expect was that the Jinghua defenders were so tenacious and defended the city at almost no cost.
The Mongolian army must have seen that there was no hope of attacking the city, so they quickly evacuated, but this time, they had no excuse.
The teacher came from Wuming...
Assist in defense?
King Qin?
The Mongolian army has retreated, do you still need your help? Do you need to be diligent?
"Then, Your Highness, what are you going to do? Take a step forward, or take a step back?"
Mengzan asked.
"Military advisor, look, what are our chances of winning?"
Xie Chao asked.
It was obvious that Xie Chao didn't want to give up this opportunity in his heart, but he needed a shot in the arm right now.
"Thirty percent."
Mengzan puts it bluntly.
"What? Only 30%?"
After hearing this, Xie Chao's expression changed and he became a little desperate.
"If His Highness can work hard, the chance of winning can be increased to 50%."
Meng Zan smiled.
The 50% chance of winning made Xie Chao a little excited. Xie Chao was not a playboy, and it was not difficult for him to work hard to succeed.
Now, he wants to give it a try.
"Can the military advisor tell me more about this 50% chance of winning?"
"At the beginning of Long Yan's New Deal, the political situation was unstable, and the leader Liu Zheng was not in the country. This is 10%."
"Beijing has been the capital of the country for thousands of years, and His Highness is a descendant of the Xie family. He has an advantage in the legal system. This is the second percentile."
"Jinghua has an excellent geographical location and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Moreover, it is backed by the Northeast. As long as we capture Jinghua, we can control the access to the Northeast. Over time, the Northeast will fall into our hands. The current Northeast , but 'Beidacang', and in war, we fight for food. With sufficient food supply, we naturally have the capital to continue fighting. This is the third percent."
"With this 30% as a foundation, Your Highness can implement benevolent policies, support people's livelihood, and let the people live a good life in peace and contentment. With the support of the people, everyone in the world will support us. At that time, we will be in an invincible position!"
Meng Zan said slowly.
At first, Xie Chao's vision was dim, because he had no idea how to win after the rebellion.
But after hearing what Military Advisor Meng Zan said, I suddenly became enlightened.
Meng Zan is really too conservative!
Especially the third percent!
With "Beida Cang", the chance of winning is already close to half!
What is the war about? What we fight is logistics, and what we fight is food!
Just like the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao gained such a big advantage in the early stage, but Yuan Shao still had many times more men than Cao Cao.
Why? It's because a large amount of food is stored in Wuchao!
As long as there is enough food, he can live on it. Furthermore, Beijing is very close to Nanzhili. Where is Nanzhili? That is Long Yan’s most populous province!
South Zhili is the Central Plains region of Long Yan. This place supports one-tenth of the country's population.
There are people, food and territory, is this still a 50% chance of winning? This is a sure win!
What's more...
Today's Liaodong is not only a warehouse for grain, but also industrial development is taking off.
As long as I capture Liaodong, why worry about the world not being in my hands?
"Don't worry, military advisor. I, Xie Chao, will become a good emperor who is unparalleled in the past and present! And at that time, the military advisor will be the prime minister of our dynasty!"
Xie Chao also became excited.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Meng Zan held his hands in joy.
After the "junior and ministers" discussed for a while, they decided to take action. However, they did not make any announcement, but wanted to take it by surprise.
Although the gates of Jinghua City are wide open, the combat effectiveness that can withstand the charge of the Mongolian army must be very impressive. Furthermore, there is also a "King Qin Army" here that seems to have good combat effectiveness. If they attack during , they couldn't stand it when the thousands of King Qin's troops stabbed them in the back.
Now, the initiative is in their hands, and they will not take action until they are 100% sure!
"General Wang, you lead an army of 30,000 people. Keep an eye on this Qinwang army. Once they cause trouble when we take action, annihilate them immediately!"
Xie Chao ordered.
"Yes!" General Wang responded before leading the team into action.
At this time, the Youzhou Army had already begun preparing siege equipment.
Soon, large equipment such as ladders and siege vehicles appeared in the sight of Jinghua City soldiers.
"Sir, look!"
After Yu Qian heard this, he quickly stood on the tower and looked into the distance. When he saw the huge ladders, his heart suddenly went cold.
What is King Qin doing with his ladder? Obviously, this is to take advantage of the situation!
"This bunch of rebellious officials and traitors!"
Yu Qian clenched his fists and cursed angrily, but at this time, he didn't know what else to do except curse.
Now, a large number of soldiers from the Youzhou Army have watched General Zhao Yan's troops outside the city. Once the war breaks out, Jinghua City cannot count on Zhao Yan's troops.
What happened outside also alarmed the people in the city.
Jinghua's mood began to become unstable again.
The Mongolian army has just been repulsed, and the Youzhou army has come again?
run!
These dignitaries still have one idea, and that is to run!
At this time, Beijing is no longer the top of the world! It is the most attractive place in the world to attract artillery fire!
chaos.
When people's hearts were in chaos, Yu Qian had even more headaches.
"Sir, please close the city gate quickly. If you wait a little longer, it will be too late."
The city guard urged.
"No, we can't close the city gate. Once the city gate is closed, we are not far from destroying the city."
Yu Qian shook his head.
Yu Qian knew very well that the reason why Xie Chao did not attack the city immediately was that he was not sure what was going on in Jinghua City. If he closed the city gate at this time, it would be equivalent to telling him that the defense force in Jinghua City was empty. At that time, he would definitely make a big move attack.
The disparity in strength between the two sides is far beyond what one city gate can make up for.
Now, all we can do is delay. One more minute of delay will increase the chance that other King Qin troops will arrive in time!
However, Yu Qian would not be so passive. He saw from above that the Youzhou Army's ranks were in order, and three times as many enemies were sent to monitor Zhao Yan. From this, it can be seen that there are also capable people in the Youzhou Army. people.
If he does nothing and lets the other party see his intentions, then the other party may attack directly...
Yu Qian had to think of a way to toss them and disrupt their thoughts.
The enemy is strong and we are weak, and there is a huge disparity in strength. If we want to hold them back, there is only one way.
surrender.
