Eight hundred miles away, we are heading towards Usa City on the grassland, three days later! But he took the imperial edict from the imperial court to the city of Uzzah.
At this time, Dongfang Yu, after taking over Ussa City, had no next move. seem! The entire grassland fell into silence.
certainly! In Usa City, Dongfang Yu issued an order to improve the food for the army. They would eat cattle, sheep, and meat, eat and sleep. The generals under his command don't know what their king is thinking about? now! The east side is still undecided, but the two brothers Huerkang and Huerchun have joined Huerzan. The two armies have become one and their power is huge.
What Huerkang didn't expect was that General Liu Wenlong of the Wu Kingdom was not dead yet. His father Emperor Huerzan also suffered a lot when he besieged Liu Wenlong. Although he annihilated more than 70,000 military troops, 40,000 to 50,000 of his troops also died in battle.
In other words, there are only 190,000 soldiers and horses around Huerzan at this moment. Together with the remnants of the army brought by Huerkan, they can make up to 300,000.
The most shocking thing is that Liu Wenlong actually captured Dancheng, relying on the defense of Dancheng's walls and the small amount of food in Dancheng to support himself.
At this time, only part of the Dingzhou Army and the Feilong Army in Dancheng were elites, but the Liao Army's day and night attacks made Song Yi very uncomfortable. Especially General Liu Wenlong, who has been suffering from a high fever since he was injured. There are no doctors or even herbs used for healing in Dan City.
The medical soldiers in the company's army were also helpless because of lack of medicine.
"Military! Count the days, it's time to come!" Dongfang Yu raised his head and squinted at Kongji in Usa City Mansion, and suddenly said these words to Xu Meng beside him.
To be honest, Dongfang Yu had sufficient grain and food at this time. Even Beiliang Arsenal, under Dongfang Yu's instructions, increased the output of artillery fire.
The number of Frankie cannons increased to 200, with tens of thousands of shells; 150 Tiger Crouching Cannons, with tens of thousands of shells; grenades, mines, kerosene cans, bows and arrows, everything that should be taken was taken to the city of Usa.
Throughout Beiliang, Dongfang Yu had almost emptied out all the inventory he had stored for more than two years. Next, they are about to face almost the entire Xiongnu.
Xu Meng, who was behind him, slowly took a few steps forward, stood a little behind Dongfang Yu's shoulder, and said in a gentle tone: "Your Majesty! Counting the time, the imperial court's decree has arrived."
And right now!
Dongfang Yu, who had been waiting outside the house for a long time, finally received the news.
No! The imperial court rushed eight hundred miles away and arrived.
"Eight hundred miles, hurry up, get out of the way...see the King of Qin!"
The soldier was panting and choked when speaking, and seemed weak.
Tear!
Seeing the four big characters of Usa City Mansion and the man wearing a dragon robe in front of him, the soldier was shocked and understood. He did not dare to hesitate and immediately dismounted.
"Greetings to the King of Qin, the imperial court is in urgent need of eight hundred miles!"
The soldier knelt on the ground and held up the imperial edict, not even daring to take a breath of it in his mouth.
The King of Qin in front of him is no longer the King of Qin before. At this time, the King of Qin was the God of War who spread throughout Dawu and made even the Huns fear him. Who dares to be disrespectful?
Dongfang Yu paused for a while, with an extremely deep look in his eyes. He shook the long sleeves between his arms and took the imperial edict while saying, "The envoy has had a hard journey!"
"Come here! Help the envoy down and have a good rest. Don't neglect it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" the soldier said.
Immediately! He was helped down by his personal guards.
It is indeed much closer to travel from Yunzhou to Bingzhou and then to Wusha City than to travel through Liangzhou. In order to deliver the imperial edict to Dongfang Yu, for this reason! The soldiers changed more than a dozen stations on the way, and more than a dozen horses were killed. It could be considered that the imperial edict was delivered to Dongfang Yu within the time limit.
Dongfang Yu spread out the imperial edict and lightly read the contents. His long-lost and solemn face revealed a smile for the first time in several days.
Then! He handed it over to Xu Meng and said, "Commander, please take a look."
Xu Meng took it and took a good look at it.
"As the military advisor expected, the general's life and death are unknown, and General Wei is forced to retreat to Youzhou. In this northern battlefield, the Northern Expedition requires a commander-in-chief?" Dongfang Yu was a little disappointed.
It's not that it's not good to lead the three armies, it's just at this time! It was impossible for him to get better. First: The life or death of his father-in-law, the general Liu Wenlong, is uncertain;
Second: Dongfang Yu’s army is stationed in Wusha City, which is above Beiliang. Although it is close to Bingzhou, the distance is still far away. Wei Zaidi's troops were stationed in Youzhou, and even in the easternmost battlefield. The span was so large that it was difficult for Dongfang Yu to unified command the three armies.
It is urgent! What should we do, gather the three armies together!
Xu Meng closed the imperial edict and first congratulated him, "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king for becoming the general of Pingliao! Now hundreds of thousands of troops can be mobilized by the king himself. What's more! I heard that at this time in the country, His Majesty has already issued a decree to the king. Mingzhang began to recruit new soldiers in Yun, Deng, Tai, Wan and other states."
"By then! The number of our army will not be much different from that of the Liao army."
After hearing Xu Meng's mocking words, Dongfang Yu couldn't help but shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Military advisor, don't be ridiculous. The Liao army is brave and powerful. Even if the imperial court recruits 200,000 new troops to go north, I'm afraid! Really! Fighting against the Liao army is just a waste of life!"
Dongfang Yu continued: "Strategic Advisor! There is nothing I can do in Guzhong. Facing the vast grassland, a frontal war will not be good for me. The next step for our army! What should we do!"
Xu Meng, on the other hand, seemed not to be in a hurry, but instead had a mysterious smile on his face.
It seems! This guy has bad ink in his belly again.
"Your Majesty! I have an idea in my mind, but! If I want to implement this idea, I need to borrow someone from your Majesty!" Xu Meng picked up the wine gourd on his waist again and was about to take a sip.
oh!
Dongfang Yu was a little surprised!
"Who does the military advisor want to borrow?"
Xu Meng stretched out a finger and waved it, "Shang Haibo!"
Immediately! He just came close to his ears and whispered a few words in a low voice.
Dongfang Yu finally understood.
"Okay! If that's the case! Just let Shang Haibo go and lie down."
Dongfang Yu agreed.
The next day!
Dongfang Yu summoned Shang Haibo and explained the reason.
Xu Meng's strategy is both vicious and simple. As an envoy to Beiyan, the Beiyan Empire sits on Liaodong and the Sanhan Peninsula outside Liaodong. The border is close to the sea. It has a good navy, as well as nearly 250,000 infantry, 100,000 navy, and 70,000 Beiyan Fei. ride.
If Shang Haibo can persuade the Northern Yan Emperor to send troops to the rear of Liao Dynasty, then! If the two countries join forces, Daliao will definitely be defeated.
Besides! Gongsun Quan, the Emperor of Yan, would have known this truth.
certainly! Of the generals under Dongfang Yu, Shang Haibo was the only one who could complete such tasks as envoy to Beiyan and diplomatic relations.
