"After Liuhe Pass, there is Chenggao Pass. After these two passes, there is a plain. The military deployment after that is not strong enough. If the capital cannot mobilize troops in time, it will be an easy road for the Jin soldiers to take the capital directly."
Fang Zheng said, "Say something useful. How to fight the war is not what we need to worry about right now. Are our cannons afraid of his cavalry?"
Zhou Tie said: "Yes, that's right. As long as the artillery is strong enough to fight against the cavalry, victory is certain. The question is where to start the battle and how to fight."
"After the two passes is the West Wind Plain. If we start a battle here, our army may have a chance to completely annihilate the enemy's main force and break the enemy's backbone in one fell swoop."
"Any experienced general, even an inexperienced one, who has explosives in his hands will voluntarily give up the first two levels and choose this place to attack the cavalry. It will definitely be more effective with less effort."
"If we can get the message out, Dajing will deploy in advance. Master, you can help them build a hot air balloon to greatly improve their reconnaissance capabilities. The Jin Kingdom will definitely have a decisive battle with Dajing in the West Wind Plains."
Fang Zhengyi was puzzled and said, "If I can send a message, what else can I say? Besides, the people of Jin are not fools. If we fight directly on the plains, they will definitely respond."
Zhou Tie gave Fang Zhengyi an affirmative look and said, "Master, I believe in you. If you agree to help them, you will definitely have room to move freely. With your eloquence, you can definitely fool two idiots to help you deliver the letter!"
"Sixty thousand heavy cavalry are enough to make all countries jealous. In order to support the raiding capability, they should be equipped with 120,000 to nearly 200,000 war horses, not to mention the infantry and light cavalry. No army dares to confront this force head-on on the plains. They can even abandon any tactics and battle formations and directly charge forward, which will be a massacre for ordinary troops."
"Da Jing's cavalry is not good. I heard from the crown prince that in the early years of the war with the Gan Kingdom, there were even soldiers but no cavalry. Even after so many years of recovery, it is still not comparable to the Jin Kingdom. I saw when I came here that our best war horses can only be compared with their inferior horses. As long as Da Jing sends enough soldiers and horses on the plains, so many that they have no reason to retreat without fighting, the Jin Kingdom will definitely fight! No one will give up the fat meat at their fingertips."
"But who knows? We have a magic weapon that can defeat cavalry. When the cannon sounds, maybe the horses won't be able to move."
Fang Zheng nodded repeatedly: "That's a good point. When they lose the battle, we will be slaughtered in Pantai City to vent our anger."
"Ah... Master must have a way. This is all I can think of." Zhou Tie looked embarrassed.
Fang Zhengyi rested his chin on his fist and sighed softly.
What Zhou Tie said makes sense, but we are now facing two problems. One is how to get our message out.
The second point is that once the war breaks out, how can we ensure the safety of our people? What if that old guy Paba doesn't keep his word and kills them as soon as the hot air balloon is brought out? That would be terrible.
Internally...Ali Bai can do some work, but externally there is no manpower available.
Whenever he goes out, he will definitely be monitored in real time. Paba will definitely not give him this opportunity. Even if he finds someone who can deliver the letter, there is a high probability that there will be a language barrier and communication will be impossible, let alone the rest of the delegation.
"Master, have you come up with a solution?" Zhou Tie asked in a low voice.
"Alas... the most important thing now is to find someone to pass the message. Who the hell can I find? I have to bring a translator with me when I go out. I want to fool people into translating, but it won't work."
"Isn't there a young girl in the inn? Isn't she good enough?" Zhou Tiedao
"Which little girl?"
"A bit dark, the one with long legs."
"Hiss, Linglong?" Fang Zheng suddenly had an idea.
yes.
Paba sent him a dark-skinned, long-legged girl who could communicate with him smoothly. The key point was that the probability that she was sent specifically to monitor him was low.
The delegation had been in the hands of the Jin Kingdom since the day they entered the city. There was no need to get a woman to monitor them. It was a superfluous act.
The only possibility is that Paba sent it as a token of his goodwill, wanting to give him some benefits.
If we make a breakthrough from here...although it is a bit difficult, it is also a glimmer of hope, so we can try it first.
"Master, is she okay?"
Fang Zheng glanced at him and said, "How should I know? You treat this as something like eating or drinking water? I'll find a chance to try... Go and call all the people who are with the delegation to my room, as well as the two sisters from the Chu family. If you want to solve the problem, you should solve the internal problem first."
Twenty minutes later, all the members of the delegation gathered in a square room. The room was so crowded that it could barely accommodate everyone.
Fang Zhengyi stood on the table in the hall and looked down, then said, "Zhang Biao, check inside and outside Zhou Tie's room to see if anyone is watching. If not, guard the stairs and don't let anyone get close to the room. If anyone tries to peek or eavesdrop, kick them out. If they don't obey, I'll beat them to death!"
The two of them responded and turned to leave.
After hearing Fang Zheng's words, there was a sudden commotion in the room, and everyone began to feel uneasy.
Ma Cheng, the leader, asked nervously, "Did something serious happen to Lord Fang?"
Fang Zhengyi nodded with a heavy heart, then looked at everyone and said, "Next, I'm going to tell you something important. Don't panic, don't get confused. I'll start talking when everyone is mentally prepared."
......
After these words, the atmosphere in the room changed and became extremely depressing.
The two Chu sisters were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Several officials from the Ministry of Revenue were also trembling with fear.
Ma Cheng was in a state of unbearable pain. He was shaking all over and muttering, "It's over, it's over, it's over. I'm going to die."
Fang Zheng stood at the table without saying anything. After ten minutes, no one dared to ask questions.
He pointed at Ma Cheng who was still trembling and said, "Ma Cheng, although I am the leader of this trip, I am actually just a ceremonial role. You are the real leader, come up."
Ma Cheng was stunned for a moment, then his hands and feet went weak and he staggered onto the table.
Fang Zhengyi held his head, turned it half a circle, and said in a deep voice: "Look, these are all your men, and you are more afraid than them. Is this reasonable?"
"You are not a role model, you are afraid before the battle, and you disrupt the morale of the army. If you behave like this in the army, you should be beheaded in public."
Ma Cheng was trembling and unable to speak.
I'm almost going crazy with anxiety. I heard you say that it's not just a one-shot death, it's a ten-shot death! Who wouldn't be afraid?
I'm just a civilian official, why are you talking to me about military morale?
"Master Fang, what should I do? What should I do? I am just watching them..."
"Pa!" A slap as fast as lightning hit Ma Cheng's face.
