Regardless of whether the news brought by Guge is true or false, Yun Zheng must take it seriously.
After explaining everything to Tong Gang, Yun Zheng sat down with Jia Yao and the others to discuss the matter.
At present, the credibility of the news brought by Guge is still relatively high.
However, for a small country like Qiuchi, Yun Zheng most wanted to resolve it without bloodshed.
Fighting against such a small country may not bring much benefit even if you win. Once the war starts, some people will die on your side, and a large amount of food and grass will be consumed.
No matter how you look at it, it's not a good deal.
Unless, plunder their people and seize their land!
However, having said that, if Qiuchi were destroyed, it would be equivalent to directly opening up the passage to the various tribes in the western part of the desert.
If the Northern Army suddenly appeared in the western part of Dagan, I wonder if those in the court would be able to sit still.
As he was thinking, an evil idea suddenly appeared in Yun Zheng's mind.
...
...
Jia Yao raised his eyes and looked at Yun Zheng, "When are you going to let me go? I need to go back and prepare for the battle as soon as possible!"
"When your follow-up large force arrives, I will naturally let you go."
Yun Zheng temporarily got out of his thoughts, "Now you know how wise it is for me to let you maintain 20,000 standing troops?"
"Well, you are most sensible!"
Jia Yao replied unhappily, "If the Guifang are determined to attack us, we will definitely need to temporarily recruit tens of thousands of troops, but we don't have that much food, weapons and armor..."
Jia Yao didn’t say anything else.
But the meaning is clear enough.
They need Yun Zheng to support them with food, weapons and armor.
Yun Zheng raised his eyes slightly and shook his head, saying, "I won't support you with anything! If you want food, you can exchange it with war horses, livestock, or furs or something like that!"
"We, Beihuan, have already pledged our loyalty to Dagan!"
Jia Yao suddenly raised his voice, but suppressed his anger and said patiently: "Without weapons and armor, you let our people fight the enemy with bare hands? You said that if our Beihuan is..."
"You don't need to remind me, I remember."
Yun Zheng interrupted Jia Yao, "If the Guifang really attacks Qinlin Grassland, it will actually be an opportunity for you! If you fight well, the Guifang will be giving you armor and weapons!"
"You sound nice!"
Jia Yao was furious and stared at Yun Zheng angrily: "But what if we lose? Moreover, if the Guifang troops attack Qinlin Grassland, there will probably be more than 100,000 of them! You want us to use 20,000 soldiers with no morale to fight against an army of 100,000?"
In the previous battle, the Guifang were only forced to withdraw their troops, not suffering heavy losses!
If the Guifang launched a large-scale attack, they would definitely be able to organize a force of 100,000!
"What about a hundred thousand?"
Yun Zheng disagreed.
"you……"
Jia Yao's eyes were blazing with fire, and he clenched his fists tightly, "Yun Zheng, is this what you meant by letting the people of Beihuan live a good life?"
An indescribable grief and anger surged into Jia Yao's heart, making him almost roar out loud.
She thought Yun Zheng was a man who kept his promises.
But in the end, Yun Zheng was still determined to weaken Beihuan and defeat all the men in Beihuan!
"Hear me out!"
Yun Zheng glared at Jia Yao unhappily, "If you show your teeth to me again, do you believe I will really ignore you?"
Jia Yao glared at Yun Zheng and gritted his teeth, "Tell me! Let's see what you can come up with!"
"You'd better get your attitude right!"
Yun Zheng warned Jia Yao, then slowly spoke: "Twenty thousand against a hundred thousand, it is definitely possible to win! Moreover, you Beihuan really need to fight hard to boost the morale of the army! Do you agree with this?"
Jia Yao was silent for a moment, then said unwillingly: "That being said, have you ever thought about our casualties?"
With 20,000 against 100,000, there is indeed a possibility of winning.
Throughout history, there are countless examples of winning with fewer people.
However, there is also a high possibility of failure!
Once defeated, Beihuan’s last elite troops would be completely wiped out!
They want to win, but they can’t afford to lose.
"Did you get hit in the head and become stupid?"
Yun Zheng glared at Jia Yao unhappily, "What do you think, if we send troops, should we go directly to help you, or should we go from Qiuchi through Dayue Kingdom and directly attack the Guifang?"
"Do you consume more food and grass with 50,000 or 60,000 men, or with 20,000 men?"
"I gave you enough food. For such a long journey, won't it be lost during transportation?"
"Would you rather rob the enemy's food and fodder, or trade your warhorse for food and fodder?"
"How many war horses do you have to exchange for food and fodder? Do you want to pay tribute with more war horses?"
"If you have seized all the food and fodder, do you still need me to support you with weapons and armor for 30,000 or 40,000 people?"
"If you were me, would you be willing to unreservedly support a country that has just surrendered with so many weapons and armor?"
“…”
Yun Zheng opened fire at full speed, throwing out all kinds of questions like a string of cannonballs.
Faced with Yun Zheng's questioning, Jia Yao couldn't help but be a little dazed.
She had never thought about so many issues before.
Now that I think about it, although there is a hint of stinginess in what Yun Zheng said, it does seem to make some sense.
Jia Yao temporarily put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and began to think silently.
If Yun Zheng could really kill his way through the Dayue Kingdom and launch a surprise attack on the Guifang's rear, it would indeed be better than a frontal attack.
Once the Guifang rear is attacked, the frontline troops will definitely have no desire to fight and will be forced to retreat to defend.
In this way, Beihuan could rely on the advantage of cavalry to continuously erode the enemy forces of Guifang.
The weapons and armor they looted could be used to arm more troops.
If they fight like this, their numbers will increase, while the enemy's numbers will decrease.
In the end, we might even be wiped out by them!
If they really could fight like this, it wouldn't seem too difficult for 20,000 people to deal with 100,000 people.
After thinking silently for a while, Jia Yao slowly stood up and saluted Yun Zheng according to Beihuan etiquette, "If you are telling the truth, I apologize for my misunderstanding just now."
"Now you know how to apologize?"
Yun Zheng looked at Jia Yao unhappily, "So I say, your brain has been hit and you've become stupid! You even forgot your original intention of giving up Sanbian City! And you still have the nerve to show your teeth to me here?"
Facing Yun Zheng's gaze, Jia Yao couldn't help but blush.
However, what Yun Zheng said was true.
It seemed like Yun Zheng had really hit me in the head and made me stupid.
Fight to support the war!
I even forgot this.
well!
In the end, Yun Zheng beat me so badly that I had lost all my confidence!
In contrast, Yun Zheng came up with a strategy to defeat the enemy in a very short time and took all aspects into consideration.
This is probably the reason why I was defeated by Yun Zheng time and time again!
It’s not unfair that I lost!
Jia Yao couldn't help sighing in his heart, and then raised his eyes and said: "If that's the case, let's do it this way for now! When I confirm that they will attack later, I will discuss the specific battle plan with you."
"good!"
Yun Zheng stood up and said, "You guys can chat slowly! I should go to rest now."
After saying that, Yun Zheng wanted to leave.
"etc!"
Jia Yao called Yun Zheng and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have previously sent people to the various tribes in the western desert to lobby them to attack the western border of Dagan while we are fighting. I don't know the result of the lobbying now, but if the Guifang people send troops to attack, the various tribes in the western desert are likely to send troops..."
There is such a thing?
This woman really racked her brains to deal with Dagan!
Well, let’s send someone to deliver the message to father later!
He needs to make some preparations in advance.
Otherwise, if the tribes in western Mo really start to fight, Dagan will suffer heavy losses if he rushes to fight...
