Ning Que poured the wine himself.
Raise the wine bottle again.
"Come, drink first."
"Try my Dafeng millet wine."
"Thank you very much."
"Who could have imagined that Prince Ning of Dafeng and the Liao Emperor would be drinking and chatting happily here at Yanmen Pass?" Ning Que chuckled self-deprecatingly and continued, "The fact that this battle went so smoothly is the fault of the Liao. You categorize people into different classes, and if you don't pay enough cattle and sheep, you'll become slaves. They'll treat the Liao the same way they love them. After all, they work so hard every year raising cattle and horses, only to end up as slaves. What's the point of fighting?"
"Oh, that makes sense."
Yelu Junda couldn't help but smile bitterly. Even Ning Que's final retreat to Yanmen was aided by Chunlun and other Liao people. Therefore, they were able to pass through the Xubu defense zone without arousing any suspicion.
"Ahem."
Feng Wuzhe coughed softly beside him.
A glance signaled Ning Que to get to the point.
"You are the Emperor Emeritus of Liao. You must be very familiar with Shuofang and know the specific troop deployments, including the rear-line weapons and provisions. My uncle hopes that I can pry this information out of you. However, I can see that you would rather die than surrender, so I doubt you will say it."
"That's right," Yelu Junda continued frankly, "I won't lie to you, Your Highness, nor will I leak any intelligence about the Liao Kingdom. But I can tell you that the Liao Kingdom has been preparing for this battle for five years, and Shuofang City is teeming with soldiers. I believe this battle will be very difficult for you. It will take several months to capture the city."
"You're overthinking it."
Ning Que raised a finger and said calmly, "I can tell you right now that Dafeng will attack the city in seven days. They will capture it within three days."
"impossible!"
"You'll find out soon enough."
Ning Que smiled confidently.
He had specifically investigated Shuofang City.
It is called a city, but in fact it is just an earthen city.
It's not even as good as the county town of Dafeng.
This is due to the geographical environment.
The Liao people were a nomadic people who lived by following water and grass.
They lived in tents made of animal skins.
To put it bluntly, their civil engineering skills were completely inadequate. The environment and resources on the grasslands were also insufficient to support them in building a solid city.
Shuofang City was originally built by the Dafeng, but was later captured by the Liao Kingdom due to internal unrest. No reinforcement measures were taken for hundreds of years. With just this earthen city, it was too easy to attack.
The reason why Dafeng didn't fight in these years was not because it couldn't win, but because Xiliang was always watching from the outside, which forced Dafeng to garrison its elite troops in the northwest.
"When the city is broken, I will come to see you."
"Then I will wait!"
Yelu Junda stood up and bowed.
He really doesn't believe this!
The Liao Kingdom had been preparing for this war five years ago.
I really don't believe that Dafeng has this ability.
…
Get out of the prison.
Feng Wuze sighed softly.
If we were to attack the city, the best option would be a protracted war. Cut off Shuofang's connection to the rear, siege without attacking, or attack periodically. Repeatedly, torment the Shuofang defenders.
From siege warfare to war of attrition!
Dafeng can rely on its national strength to firmly seize the initiative. When the Liao Kingdom can no longer hold on and wants to leave the city to fight, Dafeng's elite forces will be able to annihilate them completely!
However, this time Emperor Feng couldn't wait any longer.
Emperor Feng wanted more than just to recapture Shuofang.
We must fight to break the backbone of the Liao Kingdom!
Drive them all back to Mobei!
From now on, I will never dare to go south to herd horses again.
No matter the cost, show the spirit of Dafeng!
"Xiao Ning, how confident are you?"
"More than 90%."
"So confident?"
"How can you play as a main attacker if you don't have confidence..."
Ning Que smiled helplessly.
Feng Wuzhe couldn't help but laugh.
"Uncle, I actually have an idea."
"What?"
Ning Que looked around and spoke in a low voice.
The general direction must be decided by Feng Wuzhe.
As for the details, Ning Que can also raise them.
Sometimes it may not even be discussed.
Ning Que's recent destruction of Longcheng was not part of Feng Wuze's plan. He simply wanted to capture some prisoners to gain insights and, incidentally, weaken the Liao army's rear. Ning Que did indeed accomplish all of this, but the commotion was far too great!
After hearing this, Feng Wuzhe was stunned.
"Is this... is this reliable?"
"Don't worry." Ning Que smiled confidently, "Don't underestimate Qing He. Back in Kunlun Mountain, we all called her Tree Flying. Besides, I also asked Senior Brother Wan to specially make a batch of flying claws, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"OK!"
Feng Wuze nodded.
"You are in charge of the main attack, so it's up to you."
"It's just that this plan is too dangerous."
"Especially Qinghe, she's your fiancée."
"Why don't you be more careful, kid? You sent her to do such a dangerous job?"
As he said this, he knocked Ning Que hard.
Ning Que also felt wronged.
"Uncle, this is really not my fault..."
"This plan was proposed by Qinghe and me."
"Can't you just refuse?"
"Qinghe usually listens to me, but she also insists. She thinks this way is more reliable and can help me."
Ning Que looked helpless.
It’s not that Shen Qinghe acted impulsively.
But she is good at these things.
While in Kunlun Mountain, he was renowned for his martial arts skills and carried out numerous missions for the Shenji Pavilion. Later, he infiltrated Xiliang, even gaining access to their royal palace. Amidst the siege, he stole the Xiliang Crown Prince's personal jade pendant.
