A few days later.
It is rare to see continuous drizzle in northern Xinjiang.
As fine as a needle, it takes away the remaining heat.
Ning Que was wearing a lamb fur coat and sitting in the central army camp.
All the generals in the army have arrived, without saying a word.
The sand table in front is ready and standing.
Shuofang City was built in proportion according to the information obtained by spies.
Feng Wuzhe looked around.
"Now that we are all here, I will speak first."
"His Majesty has issued an order that we must fight quickly and decisively."
"Conquer Shuofang as soon as possible at all costs."
"We are all soldiers. Wherever your majesty points his sword, our troops will follow. This time, Xiao Ning will lead the personal guards and the northern border garrison, a total of 200,000 troops, to storm the main gate of Shuofang City!"
"promise!"
Ning Que stood up and accepted the order.
No one stood up to refute.
Because he deserves it!
Gu Yuan clenched his fists tightly.
Obviously dissatisfied with this decision.
But now he has no choice.
Then I can only watch the military merit slip away?
no!
Finally, Gu Yuan gritted his teeth and stood up.
"General, I think it's not possible."
"What do you have to say?"
"It's probably inappropriate for Prince Ning to shoulder such a heavy responsibility after just recovering from a serious injury." Gu Yuan raised his hand and bowed, claiming to be thinking of Ning Que, but in reality he just wanted to take credit. He continued, "A siege is not a guerrilla war on the grasslands. The main forces of the two countries would clash head-on, and countless casualties would be incurred. Given Prince Ning's personality, I'm afraid he would find it difficult to accept."
"General Gu, don't worry about that." Ning Que didn't even stand up. He just took a sip of hot tea from the ceramic bowl and said calmly, "Since I dare to accept it, I must be fully confident. General Gu is not the commander-in-chief, but he keeps interrupting and talking too much. If you don't know better, you might think you are the commander-in-chief."
"I...I'm also considering the prince!"
"That's enough."
Feng Wuze looked at Gu Yuan with disdain.
He really couldn't stand Gu Yuan's behavior.
He says something nice, but actually does another.
No one in the military camp looks down on this kind of thing.
It’s better to be straightforward and honest.
Gu Yuan brought the same tactics he used in the court to the military camp!
"I have already made the decision on this matter!"
"General Gu!"
"I will be here."
"You will lead 50,000 troops to attack Shuofang at the east gate. Your primary responsibility is to stage a feint attack to tie down the Shuofang County garrison. At the same time, you must sever the connection between Shuofang and the Lan clan to ensure the main force can launch a massive attack!"
"I obey your orders!"
Gu Yuan gritted his teeth and nodded.
What is feint attack and main attack?
Whoever captures Shuofang first will be rewarded!
What happened to 50,000 people?
That doesn't mean he has no chance.
Ningque is the main attacking force with the largest number of troops.
And the obstacles you face will be the greatest!
The Shuofang defenders will defend with all their might!
This actually created opportunities for him.
"Feng Jie."
"I will be here."
"You will lead 50,000 troops to feint an attack on the west gate of Shuofang, while simultaneously severing Shuofang's connection with the Xubu clan!"
"I obey your orders!"
Feng Wuze looked indifferent.
An army of three hundred thousand came out in full force.
He, the commander-in-chief, was stationed in the central military camp.
Responsible for commanding the three armed forces.
"You three should prepare well."
"I don't care what grudges you have. Once we enter the battlefield, we have only one goal: to win! Anyone who disobeys orders and fails to complete their mission will be punished by military law!"
"We obey your orders!"
Ning Que also stood up and gestured.
He glanced at Gu Yuan.
I saw that he had a gloomy face.
He was obviously planning something in his mind.
Ning Que was too lazy to care about him.
All those who need to be persuaded have been persuaded.
But it's hard to persuade a damn ghost with kind words.
Gu Yuan will suffer if he continues like this.
But it would be best if he died, so as to avoid hurting others.
The generals withdrew.
Feng Wuzhe looked at Ning Que with a smile.
"Xiao Ning, are you sure?"
"have."
"That's good." Feng Wuze patted Ning Que's shoulder. "A siege is bound to result in casualties. The Liao people will defend the city, which will inevitably cause many casualties. You must be mentally prepared. As the commander, your primary mission is to capture the city, even if some casualties are necessary. Your kindness can be used to provide relief after the war."
"clear."
Ning Que nodded slightly.
Casualties are inevitable in siege warfare.
Especially if the troops are of equal strength, there will be countless casualties.
"Let's go and see Yelu Junda together."
"This old man has a bad temper."
"I met him in person, but he ignored me."
"I only respect you, no one else is qualified."
"Okay."
Ning Que couldn't help but smile.
After all, Yelu Junda was the retired emperor of Liao.
Don't expect to get any information out of him.
Even if it is pried out, who would believe it if it is not verified?
…
Although Yelu Junda was a captive, he was incredibly resilient. Since arriving at the military camp, he'd been living a carefree life. He had good food and drink every day, and a decent place to live. However, he was guarded whenever he entered or left the camp to prevent him from escaping.
However, this is obviously unnecessary.
Yelu Junda was too lazy to even leave the house.
Just like an old man.
He is well aware of his strategic value.
He is far more useful alive than dead!
"Duke Yelu."
Ning Que's voice rang out.
Yelu Junda suddenly stood up from the bed.
The door opened and the rain fell.
"Meet Prince Ning."
"No need to be so polite."
Ning Que smiled and waved his hand.
He sat opposite Yelu Junda very casually.
The two countries are at war and they have different positions.
