Chapter 969: To ask where the chance of victory lies, the general points to the artillery
Hearing Su Changan's words, Xia Fengxiang was stunned for a moment. When he looked up at Su Changan, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
Su Changan looked at his wife and said, "Let Mr. Yun run a trip? He has good legs and will catch up soon."
Xia Fengxiang glared at Su Changan: "Grandpa Yun is so old, and you still let him do this? Where is the kind-hearted queen that people say is so kind?"
Su Changan curled his lips: "What should I do? Should I go there myself?"
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan, reached out and pinched Su Changan's face, then kicked him a few times, but did not say anything. He quickly let go and went back to look at the memorials.
Su Changan looked at his wife's strange behavior, rubbed his face and thought for a while before asking, "Are you having the kind of erratic behavior that only occurs during pregnancy, or are you angry?"
Hearing this, Xia Fengxiang looked up at Su Changan with a fierce look.
Su Changan saw it, silently raised his hand to cover his wife's eyes, and said: "I'll go chase her and be back soon."
But just as he finished speaking, Xia Fengxiang grabbed Su Changan's hand and bit it.
Su Changan gasped in pain, then looked down at his wife.
Xia Fengxiang bit Su Changan's hand and glared at him sideways.
After letting go of her mouth, she even cursed: "Still chasing after her!?"
Su Changan rubbed his hands on his body and asked, "Are you not angry anymore?"
Xia Fengxiang showed his little canine teeth, and Su Changan immediately took a step back: "I'm going to wear something thicker and you're biting my clothes?"
Xia Fengxiang kicked out.
Fearing that his wife would miss the kick and fall, Su Changan took the blow.
Then Xia Fengxiang cursed, "Am I angry because you wrote that? It's nothing if you wrote it, and I know how the Su family treats you, especially Su Zimu and his wife. What if I tell them? Are you angry because you wrote that? You said I got into trouble? I'm an outsider, and it was me who didn't let you tell others that you're a man."
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang and shook his head at the previous sentences, but when he heard the last sentence, Su Changan was silent for a while and then nodded. However, when he saw his wife's eyes changed, he immediately shook his head.
Xia Fengxiang clenched his fists, his chest heaving with anger. Unable to bear it any longer, he clenched his fists and was about to beat Su Changan.
But when she turned around, perhaps because she was too anxious, she accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt and bumped into the chair.
Xia Fengxiang was stunned and his body tilted.
But at this time Su Changan was already standing beside her, and Xia Fengxiang fell into Su Changan's arms.
Su Changan lowered his head.
Xia Fengxiang looked up.
The four looked into each other's eyes.
Su Changan's eyes flashed with fondness, and then he said with a smile: "Look, you are so stupid that you can't even stand."
But after saying that, he looked at his wife in his arms and said, "Now that the atmosphere is here, give me a kiss?"
Xia Fengxiang was a little embarrassed, but was about to speak.
Both of them were stunned and turned around at the same time.
Then I saw Yan Ruyu standing at the gate of the courtyard.
Yan Ruyu looked at His Majesty and the Queen hugging each other, feeling a little overwhelmed and panicked.
Su Changan said: "You disturbed us, you are in trouble!"
Yan Ruyu was a little frightened.
Xia Fengxiang pushed Su Changan away, rolled his eyes at him, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yan Ruyu remembered the important matter and immediately clasped his fists: "Your Majesty, Madam, the troops of Wuping Camp have all arrived at Wuhekou Pass. Some of them are stationed inside Liuzikou Pass to transport food and grass. Among them, Dang Kang, Suanni, and Baxia have also led the people of Jianghu Camp to arrive and stationed in the camp that was previously built inside the pass. General Qin Zhensu has also arrived with the Black Tube Camp."
Hearing this, Xia Fengxiang asked, "Did you tell Meng Qin, Li Xuance and the others who are discussing the matter?"
Yan Ruyu nodded immediately: "Because you instructed earlier that any military action should be reported to the two marshals and several generals first, so I have already gone to the meeting hall to inform them of this matter. In addition, the cannons are covered with cloth and are being transported to the city wall."
Xia Fengxiang looked at Yan Ruyu and asked, "Did the people in the city see it?"
Yan Ruyu nodded: "Yes, according to your instructions, the people have seen it, and now the people are watching, and the people in the Shen Ce Palace are lurking among them. If there are spies, they will definitely take action."
Xia Fengxiang nodded and sat back in his chair.
Su Changan didn't say much. It was not too late to reveal the cannon now, and it was just right. Because of Xiao Podi's escape, Zhong Shuoxing knew what the cannon looked like, but he didn't know what it was specifically like. Now he just took it out like this.
I'm asking you, do you want to see it?
…
The so-called meeting hall inside the pass was actually just an open space under the city wall where the generals sat on a stool without even setting up a tent.
The main reason why Xia Fengxiang did not come to this meeting was that she did not understand military affairs. If she were here, everyone here would be concerned about her presence and would not dare to say certain words or discuss certain ideas.
Even if you show the slightest expression, the people below you will start to have wild thoughts and become uneasy.
Xia Fengxiang was aware of this matter, and the content of the meeting process would be sent to her, let alone the result.
So Xia Fengxiang simply did not participate and only let Yan Yunxiao participate.
Yan Yunxiao closed her eyes and rested. Although she was also a military general, she knew nothing about marching and fighting. Beating and killing people were what she was best at.
Shentu Kuyue sat next to Yan Yunxiao
But today, besides Yan Yunxiao, great masters like Taoist Qingshuang, Diwu Shuang and others were also here, but they were sitting at the outermost edge like Yan Yunxiao.
The war is approaching, and these martial arts elders are all participants in the war, so there are some things they also want to listen to.
Meng Qin looked at the intelligence he had just received, handed it to Li Xuance and said, "The army led by Helian Bobo is now stationed at a distance less than five days' journey away."
Just as Meng Qin finished speaking, Du Yu tapped the map with his fingers: "If you say we are setting up camp, it's too far away. It seems like we are waiting for someone."
The identities of the thirteen guards on both sides are now clear and known to everyone, so Zhuge Jia, who is currently Bai Ze, is among them. He lowered his head and looked at the map, "I am not waiting for someone, but I have to wait for someone."
Du Yu nodded: "The march was extremely fast, with the infantry lagging behind and the cavalry leading the way, and all the supplies and baggage following closely behind, but they suddenly stopped."
Zhuge Jia pointed his finger at the location of Helian Bobo's army and slid to Wuhekou. "What a pity! If he really intends to attack the city so quickly, we will definitely swallow up this cavalry army and cause serious damage to the other side."
Du Yu pointed his finger in another direction and said, "Here, they should be separated, forming a horn on the left and right. As long as we send troops out to meet them, this ambush will definitely rush out. Even if we don't send troops, this ambush will just need to continue hiding. Although Helian Bobo marches and fights in a big way, he is actually good at sudden attacks and annihilation. He is even more adept at using terrain, infantry, cavalry, and tactics. On the Mobei grassland, he fought against other tribes on behalf of the royal court. His methods were ruthless and decisive, and he followed the principle of not killing children under the wheels. He suddenly stationed a large camp at such a long distance. It was not because he was cautious, but because he had to station there."
Zhuge Jia looked at Du Yu: "The King of the Southern Court of Mobei said it's OK, Lord Du, how much do you know."
Du Yu replied: "It is treacherous and unpredictable. The destruction of the Uighurs was handled by Zhong Shuoxing alone. When I read the intelligence sent by the spies, I saw that although he seemed to be prudent and steady in his use of troops, in fact, he was like a violent storm, changing rapidly, and was extremely good at finding opportunities."
As he spoke, Du Yu glanced at Zhuge Jia and said, "If Helian Bobo and the others are from the middle line, I'm afraid that the Yinshan Mountain and the Mona River have already had a large army marching here."
Zhuge Jia said, "That's right."
Du Yu said nothing, just looked down at the map.
The two of them talked back and forth, no one interrupted, everyone just listened to the conversation, some had admiration in their eyes, some were convinced.
One is the General Manager of Yanyun, who had a bad reputation before, but his actions and far-sightedness in the past few months have completely convinced people.
The other is Bai Ze, one of the thirteen brave guards on the left and right, the current leader of Yi Zixuan, and recognized by the world as the next chess champion.
Zhuge Jia stood up and looked at everyone: "It seems that the previous negotiation was known to both Helian Bobo and the Mobei royal court, but in fact, Helian Bobo took this opportunity to achieve his goal against Maomao, and wanted to kill Yuwen Baobao, He Liuhun and others. Those people were all Rouran generals or rising stars, and all of them were from other Tuoba tribes who were at odds with the Helian tribe."
In fact, everyone present knew what Zhuge Jia was talking about.
But no one interrupted, they just looked at him.
Zhuge Jia continued, "The Heba tribe, the Yuwen tribe, and the other two tribes that followed them have actually long since left the Tuoba people and completely submitted to the Mobei royal court. Zhongshuoxing couldn't have been unaware of Helian Bobo's intentions, so there is only one possibility, that they are also fighting among themselves."
Mao Xiaoxian looked at Zhuge Jia and said, "Mr. Zhuge, what you mean is that Zhongshuoxing intends to use us to kill Helian Bobo?"
Wei Xuancheng frowned: "We have those things in our hands. Zhong said that we know why we should stop Helian Bobo's raid. If we don't stop him, but let him drive straight in and attack us directly, we will not be able to take advantage of the situation."
When he said this, Wei Xuancheng realized something and asked, "The army?"
Zhuge Jia nodded: "The purpose of the trip is to take control of the Tuoba army, or the Mobei royal court intends to take action against the Tuoba people and make them all submit to the royal court. Otherwise, if someone like Helian Bobo holds great power, they will not be able to feel at ease and go south."
Yu Yunwen said, "If that's the case, one of the reasons is to use us to kill Helian Bobo. The second reason is that they know we will definitely release He Liuhun and Yuwen Baobao, so that they can cause internal strife. The third reason is probably to let Helian Bobo try our weapons."
Zhuge Jia looked at Yu Yunwen, bowed and said, "At present, this is the case, but there is still one more step."
Li Xuance said, "Helian Bobo will die at the hands of their own people, because they want to establish their authority. As for who will die, it depends on whether Aleya is involved in this matter. But the problem is that Helian Bobo is not a fool. He must have guessed something, so he must have his own backup plan."
Mu Xu had huddled in a corner, but now he opened his eyes and said, "Zhong Shuoxing was a smart kid. He didn't care about the old rules and traditions, and he had great ambitions. When he was in the Imperial College, he asked me, 'Why can't the world be united, but must be divided into countries fighting each other for years?' He also said, 'If I had power, I would make the world united and the nations united as one. Only in this way can the world be truly peaceful and the people live and work in peace.' Although he failed the imperial examination, he was still diligent. After passing the imperial examination, he was placed in the Hanlin Academy. He became more interested in the overall situation of the world and wrote four strategies and sent them to Su Wenqing. Su Wenqing read them and praised them, but unfortunately they were too radical, so they were not accepted."
Mu Xu was silent for a moment, then spoke: "He believes that if the world wants to be united, it is not feasible for us Daxia people to accept the people of the Western Regions, let them learn our Daxia culture, and then gradually think of ourselves as Daxia people. Instead, we should rule them, not accept them."
Du Yu looked at Mu Xu: "What about Mobei?"
In Mobei, although many ethnic tribes have merged, they were actually the result of the conquests of the Mobei royal court.
Such as Tiele and Tuoba.
That is to say, the unity of the Tuoba people, coupled with the fact that too many soldiers were defeated and killed during the previous king's reign, led to the rise of the Tuoba people, and the current queen ascended the throne with the help of Helian Bobo, which led to this situation.
Mu Xu nodded. "Although Emperor Zhaozong fought wars everywhere during his reign, he believed that killing was a means of protecting oneself, but not a means of ruling. Therefore, even though he fought wars year after year to intimidate the villains of other countries, he also opened the country's doors and accepted people from other countries to become citizens of Daxia. He used force to intimidate them but also treated them with kindness, so he appointed wise ministers. The late emperor kept Zhaozong's ideas in mind and ruled the country in this way, so he gradually opened up trade routes in the Western Regions and restored some of the trade routes that had been completely cut off since the Xuanzong period, allowing Daxia to recover a lot of its national strength, so Zhong Shuoxing left. He himself has the blood of Mobei people, so he went to Mobei."
Meng Qin said: "It's okay. He must have guessed that we would know this."
But after that, Meng Qin said: "But no matter what they want to do, they have their own plans, and we also have our countermeasures."
Zhuge Jia nodded: "Everyone who plays chess has his own strategy, it depends on who is better. Helian Bobo will not really let He Liuhun, Yuwen Baobao and others go back because he wants them to die, but Zhong said that they must be kept alive. The moment we let them go, it doesn't matter whether they live or die. We are already on the chessboard, and there is no need for them to drag us into the game. Now, what we have to do is."
When it comes to here.
The sound of wheels reached everyone's ears. They turned their heads and saw many soldiers pushing things that were covered tightly with cloth or even with wooden covers towards the city wall.
All the civil and military officials present, except some who did not hold high positions, knew what it was.
However, everyone on the Grand Master's side was curious.
Yang Huayan blinked and asked: "What is that?"
Shentu Kuyue looked at Yang Huayan: "The Queen said that thing is the truth, it is very powerful, if it were you, you would probably die in a few seconds."
Yang Huayan and others were puzzled.
Yan Yunxiao opened his eyes: "Yeah."
Even though it's just one word.
But it made everyone's expression stunned.
Everyone immediately looked at the strange things being pushed by the soldiers.
Shentu Kuyue said that it might be nonsense.
But Yan Yunxiao admitted that it was different.
However, Zhuge Jia looked at Han Kuang at this time and said, "General Han, I wonder if you can send a message to the horse fences to let them pay more attention to Yinshan, because that is the best place for Helian Bobo's men to kill He Liuhun and others. Also, let them pay more attention, because the vanguard of Zhongshuoxing may have already arrived there."
