Probably later.
Gaoyang State certainly would not dare to continue to station all its troops in Xuancheng. As long as the garrison in Xuancheng is reduced, the pressure on Liaozhen will inevitably be greatly reduced.
Not to mention anything else, at least in the next two or three months, his Gaoyang Kingdom will not dare to act rashly.
But during this period, his father should have also achieved a great victory against the North.
At that time.
The imperial court can then free up its hands to deal with Gaoyang State.
In this way, all problems can be easily solved.
Gaoyang is a very small country, and it is difficult for Liaozhen’s troops to deal with it. But what if the entire Liaodong region comes, or even the garrison in the north comes?
Therefore, Zhao Lingying concluded that after winning this battle, Song Hongzhi would definitely return to Liaozhen and then plan his next move.
...
At this moment, in the territory of Gaoyang.
In an unknown valley.
It was dusk, and the setting sun dyed the entire valley blood red.
Hundreds of people were resting in the valley. They took out fodder and water to feed their horses.
However, Song Hongzhi sat aside with a map in his hand.
It seems like he is planning something.
Not far away, the deputy general who had been following him was also staring at his commander, his eyes revealing admiration and disbelief.
Because of what he experienced during the long-distance march in the past few days, he, who had been in the army for many years, was deeply shocked.
He discovered that his young coach, who was only seventeen years old, was simply a god!
Logically speaking, if a general enters the enemy's territory.
No matter how clearly you remember the route.
But because I am not familiar with the road, I will definitely stop from time to time to confirm the direction.
But what about this coach? Since entering Gaoyang, he had hardly stopped along the way, never once asking for directions, just running like crazy, yet he always found the right path, as if he knew everything by heart.
What was even more terrifying was that he could always find water. For three whole days, not only he, but also his soldiers, never worried about lack of water.
In this way, they rushed all the way for 700 miles, not only successfully breaking through Licheng, but also solving the problem of food and grass.
So the deputy general was not only shocked, but also felt that the military knowledge he had learned over the years was commonplace.
It seems to have no effect at all when used on the other person.
So strong!
"Mr. Chen."
At this time, Song Hongzhi suddenly put away the map in his hand and asked, "How is the team's rest going?"
Chen Xian is the name of the deputy general.
When the question was asked, the deputy general came over without hesitation and said, "It's almost done. The horses have been fed, and the soldiers have recovered their strength after a short rest."
"General, are you ready to set off for Gaoping City?"
Originally, he was very excited about attacking the capital of Gaoyang.
But think about it, I feel that the chances of success are not very high.
Now, he was completely impressed by the young prince in front of him and no longer had any doubts.
So he thought that the other party summoned him and must be preparing to go straight to Gaoping City.
"No, the time is not right yet."
But at this time, Song Hongzhi said: "When we attacked Licheng before, the effect was quite good because of the surprise attack. But after this incident, Gaopingcheng must have been alerted. It is almost impossible to repeat it."
"Besides, some of our soldiers were killed in the battle of Licheng, so we can't act rashly."
"Is the time ripe?"
Deputy General Chen was stunned for a moment, then immediately continued, "But didn't you say last time, General, that we came out this time to capture the capital of Gaoyang?"
Although some of his eight hundred soldiers were killed, there are still more than seven hundred left.
There will be no problem at all in terms of combat power.
Although Gaoping City is more solid than Li City, it is still possible to succeed as long as we act quickly.
Song Hongzhi thought for a moment and continued, "The eight hundred men under our command are all elite soldiers selected from Liaozhen. The loss of nearly a hundred men is already a considerable loss."
"Besides, what I said was that the time is not yet ripe, not that we should not attack Gaoping City."
After hearing this, Lieutenant General Chen became even more confused.
Don’t attack Gaoping City.
Where should I go?
Soon, Song Hongzhi spoke again: "Although we fought quickly in this battle, I believe that Li Zai has already received the news and will definitely send troops to support us. He will try his best to block our retreat. In this situation, it is best not to take any risks."
“Even if they capture Gaoping City, the most they can do is capture the royal family of Gaoyang. Their army hasn’t suffered any losses and still has enough strength to fight. Even if they fail, they will just surrender and continue to pay tribute.
"But this is not my goal, because the price is still too small for them. So what I want to do is a true war of annihilation. I want to make all the territory of Gaoyang belong to my Great Wei and expand my territory!"
"It's not enough to just conquer one capital. We must not only conquer Gaoyang, but also break their backbone. We must also let all other countries know the consequences of daring to provoke the Great Wei Dynasty."
"So this battle, we must make it a war to annihilate the nation!"
