Xiao Yuan and King Xuan had not dared to mention the planning here before in the court, because once the news was leaked, everything would be lost.
Now Xuanjun has occupied Shanyuguan at the most critical moment, and the deployment has been completed.
The turbulent people's hearts seemed to have gained some stability at this moment, but more importantly, they were full of shock.
A minister said in a trembling voice: "Listen...listen to your Majesty, our country, our country has already formed an alliance with Xuan Kingdom?"
"That's right." Xiao Yuan said seriously: "Long before the war started, I had secretly signed an alliance with King Xuan and exchanged letters of credence."
ah? Hearing this, all the ministers' eyes widened, and they were unable to react for a while. Ding Rong quickly stepped out of the queue, flattered the horse, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is really a wise king for the ages. He plans for all countries and makes all the ministers fall to the ground. …”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone came to their senses and saluted and shouted in unison.
"Okay." Xiao Yuan interrupted everyone and shouted directly: "Shangguan Wenruo."
"I'm here." The latter quickly stepped out of the queue.
"Draft the king's edict and send an order to Su Yi, Sun Qi, and General Wei Qing, telling them that the enemy's supplies have been cut off, their rear lines have lost contact, and they have penetrated deep into the Qin Dynasty. Let them use their troops at the right time and do everything possible to annihilate them during the winter war. Enemy coalition forces..."
"Wei Chen takes orders."
After this court meeting, when the ministers left the palace, they were still in a trance, as if they couldn't believe it.
"Is what the king said today true?"
"Master Li, what are you saying? Are the words of the monarch still false in the court?"
"No wonder the king is so sure..."
On the other side, inside the palace.
After Xiao Yuan went to court, he did not go to the study, but went to Gu Xue's place to prepare for a good rest.
Sitting at the round table and taking a sip of tea, he said with relief: "Qin's strategic deployment has been completed. Next, it depends on how our commander uses his troops and our soldiers."
Gu Xue sat next to him, knowing everything clearly, but she couldn't help but said: "My husband has such a big plan, aren't you afraid of the queen going back on her word?"
"She won't." Xiao Yuan was quite sure.
Gu Xue gave him a strange look.
Xiao Yuan smiled and said: "What I mean is that Queen Xuan is not a fool. Attacking Qin is meaningless to her and will not gain any benefits. On the contrary, it will make Wu Chu stronger. This is not what she wants to see. Instead of doing this, it is better to cooperate with me and jointly annihilate these 900,000 coalition troops. By then, Wu Chu will be unable to recover, and Xuan Kingdom will be invincible."
"Oh..." Gu Xue pursed her lips. Although she responded, her beautiful eyes still glanced at Xiao Yuan with a slightly strange look.
Wuling.
The Qin army's military intelligence was powerful, and Wang Ling quickly reached Su Yi through falcon transmission.
As the commander-in-chief of the first army, he had received a secret letter from Xiao Yuan as early as when he evacuated Shanyuguan, and he knew the inside information. The implementation of the information at this time was undoubtedly a good opportunity to rectify the morale of the army.
When the generals heard this royal order, they were shocked and extremely excited.
The atmosphere at the scene was obviously full of fighting spirit. Su Yi looked around and said: "Now, do you all know the strategic purpose of the king?"
Goldman Sachs said excitedly: "I didn't expect that the king would have such a plan. Now that the enemy's supplies have been cut off and their retreat has been cut off, it's time for our army to counterattack, Commander Su."
As soon as he finished speaking, Peng Shuang followed up: "Yes, if the enemy troops go deep, the supplies they carry will soon be exhausted. When the weather is freezing, they have no cotton clothes, and they are hungry and cold. How can they fight!"
"Yes, Su Shuai, give the order quickly!" Another general urged.
"What order!" Su Yi glared at him and said, "According to our army's intelligence, the coalition forces are about to attack Suicheng. Huang Zu's intention is obviously to annihilate Sun Qi's tribe first, or in other words, they want to besiege the city for reinforcements. , our army’s next actions should be considered in the long term, and it is best for Sun Qi’s troops to cooperate with our troops to complete a lateral detour.”
After saying that, he immediately said: "In this case, I will write a letter immediately and send it to Sun Qi to ask for his opinion."
Hearing this, someone said disdainfully: "Commander Su, are you worrying too much? He, Sun Qi, was just Commander Huan before. Our department can just order them to cooperate directly. There is no need to ask for his opinion."
Su Yi said: "Strictly speaking, our department and Sun Qi's department are two separate fighting armies. Sun Qi is the commander-in-chief of the new army. We have no direct command authority over his department. Moreover, although this person has not been in Qin for a long time, , but his talent is undoubted, and there is no harm in asking his opinion. Besides, we are all fighting for the country, and we are under the king."
"Yes, Su Shuai taught him a lesson." The general bowed his head quickly.
Suicheng.
This is just a county town, and the city gate is not very big. From a macro perspective, it is easy to be besieged by a large army.
Therefore, after Sun Qi retreated here, he immediately established a diagonal fortress fifteen miles outside the city to guard the traffic arteries that needed to be surrounded and marched.
This military fortress occupies a favorable terrain and relies on barriers. To put it simply, if Huang Zu wants to besiege the city, he must remove this nail, and the general stationed here is Tang Yue.
At the moment, Ye Gui, the general of Ling Kingdom, is working alone, constantly provoking in front of the camp.
He was holding a spear and his horse was constantly stepping back and forth. Not far behind him was the overwhelming army.
"Qin Jun inside, listen!"
"Put down your weapons quickly! There is still a chance of survival! Otherwise, there is only a dead end!"
"Look at the generals of the Qin army, they are all rats!"
"Who dares to fight with me!"
"If you join the army like this and hide yourself, you might as well go home and feed yourself!"
He yelled and cursed and kept provoking. Tang Yue was so proud and arrogant that he couldn't bear it anymore. He immediately said angrily: "Get my weapon!"
Not long after, the village gate opened, and Tang Yue rode out with a white horse on his hip and a reed leaf gun in his hand, riding alone.
Horse hooves trampled the ground, raising a slight dust.
The two sides met soon, and without saying a word, Tang Yue used his gun as a knife and struck a vicious blow to the head.
Ye Gui raised his spear to parry, and with a harsh sound of gold and iron, both of their arms were shaken.
The horses passed by each other, turned their heads, and the two fought again, another head-on confrontation.
Ye Gui said secretly that it was so powerful. He stared at Tang Yue and sneered under the pressure of his strength: "Huh! Who am I telling you? It turns out to be you, pretty boy!"
"Seeking death!" Tang Yue was furious. This was like touching his back scale. After shouting angrily, he suddenly changed his posture, misplaced his hands, and slashed down with the silver spear.
With a bang, Ye Gui reacted quickly and shot away, but before he could counterattack, Tang Yue's offensive came again. With the power of anger, he launched a fierce attack.
His marksmanship was tricky and his momentum was astonishing, but Ye Gui was not at all inferior. During the fight with him, he continued to taunt:
"Is that all the Tang family's marksmanship?"
