Big Li.
Xueyue City.
In the past two days, the Dali Imperial Capital was also filled with the feeling that a storm was coming. Whether it was the ordinary people on the street or the civil and military officials in the court, they seemed to be in a hurry.
In the imperial study room of Miyagi.
Ning Fan, Mu Qingcheng and others were sitting in the hall, with a vast map in front of them, covering the entire territory of Dali.
"So, there is a high probability that Xixiongtu's army will start a decisive battle with Yunxi near Liyang City?"
"It's not a high probability, but a certainty!"
"Why?"
"Because now Liyang City is under our control. Occupying Liyang City means that not only can we cut off the connection between Da Yan and their main army, but we can also advance and attack, retreat and defend. As long as we occupy Liyang, we can be invincible. A place of defeat!”
Listening to Ning Fan's analysis, Mu Qingcheng and Gong Yuyan nodded in unison, and then whispered: "According to your estimate, what is the chance of Dali winning?"
"If nothing else happens, it should be 99%!"
"oh?"
Mu Qingcheng glanced at Ning Fan in surprise, not knowing why his tone was so determined!
"Last night, I ordered people to attack the 300,000 Yan troops outside Xuanjian Pass!"
"This means that except for the 700,000 troops under Yunxi's command, Da Yan no longer has any troops available in the southern border!"
"hiss!"
Gong Yuyan glanced in shock, then looked at Ning Fan in confusion: "Your Highness, how on earth do you control Liyang City?"
"You know, Chen Ding has an army of 300,000 in Liyang City, and you actually defeated them without a single blow?"
"Haha!" Ning Fan smiled mysteriously and said calmly: "It's just some trivial skills that can't be put on the stage."
"cut!"
Seeing that Ning Fan didn't want to answer, Gong Yuyan was wise enough not to ask any more questions.
"His Majesty!"
"There's news from the north!"
A figure walked quickly to the front of the palace. After being summoned by Mu Qingcheng, he came to the imperial palace!
"Urgent report from Xi Shuai!"
"oh?"
Mu Qingcheng took one look at the secret letter presented, and his expression suddenly became strange.
"What did the actor say?"
Mu Qingcheng took a deep look at Ning Fan and handed the secret letter to Gong Yuyan who was standing aside.
"Your Majesty, I invite Shen Yu, the leader of Phoenix Platform, to come and help!"
"Master Shen's military skills are as good as the gods. With this one man, he is better than an army of 100,000..."
Seeing Xi Xiongtu's urgent secret report, which was just to ask for people from the court, Gong Yuyan's expression was a bit strange, and Mu Qingcheng also looked at Ning Fan with some fun: "Master Shen, Xi Shuai is eight hundred miles away." Expediting, just to ask you to come out!"
"Um……"
"I won't comment on Xi Xiong Tu's tactics of using troops, but his ability to recognize people does have something to say."
"Master Shen, please?"
"Add money!"
Ning Fan looked at Mu Qingcheng with a cold and ruthless expression. The latter rolled his eyes, stepped forward and squeezed Ning Fan's waist quietly, whispering: "Do you still want to sleep with me in the future? "
"What the hell?"
…
Ning Fan had only returned to Beijing for two days, and he hurried to the north again. There was nothing he could do, but those who could do more work.
However, his trip north this time was for the situation in Dali, not for the threat of the empress.
Dali Military Camp.
"Xi Shuai, Master Shen is here."
"Please come quickly!" Xi Xiongtu's face showed a hint of joy, and he stood up suddenly: "I personally welcome you."
"Forehead!"
All the generals looked at each other in confusion, and some of them didn't quite understand why the drama commander admired Lord Shen of Phoenix Stage so highly.
"Master Shen!"
"Hahaha, I have finally come to you."
When Xi Xiongtu saw Ning Fan's figure, he couldn't help but smile heartily. Ning Fan also nodded with a smile: "Xi Xiongtu's words really flatter me!"
"please!"
After some pleasantries, the two came to the handsome tent surrounded by the generals and got straight to the point.
"Everyone, please take a look."
"Now our main force in Dali is relatively scattered. Yizhou City, Liyang City and more than ten surrounding cities have been recovered, and the main force in Dayan has arrived in the north this morning."
"My commander-in-chief means not to confront Da Yan head-on, but to directly lay down a line of defense with Liyang City as the center to seal off Yunxi's 700,000-strong army."
After hearing Xi Xiongtu's intention, one of the staff's eyes looked solemn: "Commander Xi, now our troops are scattered. What if Yunxi gathers troops and defeats us one by one?"
"hehe!"
"Qi Yandao's worries are not unreasonable. Therefore, I have hidden an ambush here. Moreover, on this line of defense, connected end to end, no matter which point Da Yan attacks us, the soldiers and horses from the rest of the city can attack us. Help comes from all directions.”
"As long as Da Yan's main force dares to move, we can counter-surround it."
"Besides, Da Yan's food supply is low and it can't last more than a few days."
Seeing Xi Xiongtu's confident expression, Ning Fan shook his head slightly, but did not speak in a hurry.
"Master Shen, what do you think?"
A staff member noticed Ning Fan's expression and asked hurriedly.
"It's not a high opinion, it's just..."
"Commander, look at it, generals. Although Da Yan's 700,000-strong army has lost tens of thousands of troops, there are still 600,000 troops and horses that can be mobilized."
"We only have an army of 300,000 troops, and they are still divided into various cities. Although we occupy a favorable location and people, if Da Yan's main force is divided into three groups."
"We will attack Liyang City on one route, and cut off the main routes from east to west with the other two routes, turning our Liyang City into an isolated city. What should we do?"
Hearing Ning Fan's words, Xi Xiongtu couldn't help but frown, and said in a deep voice: "We also have an army of 150,000 in Liyang City. Even if the Yan Army wants to attack the city, it will not happen overnight. It will not last for ten days and a half." , it is impossible to cross the wall of our Liyang City."
"They don't need to get over the wall."
Ning Fan shook his head and said: "We only need to detach an army of 200,000 to besiege Liyang City. The remaining 500,000 troops can wipe out all the soldiers and horses in the other cities in an instant."
"But they've almost run out of food!"
"so what?"
"Killing horses to satisfy hunger can last for two days?" Ning Fan's eyes flashed with sternness, and he said calmly: "This battle is related to the national destiny of Dali and Dayan. Yunxi is a famous general in the world, how can he do it easily? Bind your hands?"
"Besides, their army has no food, but our people have food in their hands."
"this……"
Xi Xiongtu's face showed a bit of grievance, and he sighed sadly: "We can't fight head-on, and we can't defend it. Should we let them run wild in our territory of Dali?"
"Won't!"
Ning Fan shook his head directly: "The strategy that the drama commander set at the beginning was already wrong."
"Um?"
"Xi Shuai, a few days ago, I, Da Li, was still worried about how to defend the Li River. Now, in just a few days, Xi Shuai actually wants to swallow Da Yan's 700,000 main force in one go. Isn't it a bit fanciful?"
…
