Chapter 257: The County King’s Strategies Can Survive a Million Armies
Chapter 257 – County King’s Strategies Can Survive a Million Armies
Early morning.
The first rays of sunlight shone on the courtyard of the Jiang Mansion’s Yamen, and Cui Ying’er, Murong Huo, and the group of Bear Paw had already returned.
After a night’s surveillance, although the West Qin army and the city were talking a lot, the rebellious heart was not serious, after all, the three states and eighteen prefectures had only known the Jiang family for two hundred years and did not know about the royal family.
Habit is something that can force a few words, but no one really has a heart towards the imperial court.
……
Outside the city military camp.
In the marshal tent, dozens of generals were once again gathered together, all of them looked haggard, after a night of tossing and turning and thinking yesterday, they realized that it was no longer possible for them to leave the Western Qin Army.
Rebellion or something, in short, follow the Jiang family county king, he wants to do what he wants to do well, and anyway, the western region army presses the border, the future war is very likely to have all the troops, the danger of death in the battlefield, people are dead, care about so much for what?
“These 40,000 Western Region elites are all good seedlings who are good at fighting and controlling strings! It’s a pity that if they are not of my race, their hearts will be different! And those princes and princesses, how will the Sheriff King arrange them?”
Yuchi Jun’s heart was heavy as he looked at Jiang Yuxi and said, “Did you pass on our thoughts to him yesterday?”
Everyone looked at Jiang Yuxi in unison, and Jiang Yuxi’s face turned bitter : “I spoke to him last night, and he was very grumpy, saying that he would arrange it this morning!”
“Alas!” Yuchi Jun let out a long sigh, “I thought that when the Junior County King arrived, he would listen to us, but I didn’t realize that it was not like that at all, I heard that yesterday the County King said that we are all straw men, and that he could destroy a million armies in the Western Regions with a snap of his fingers?”
A group of generals looked at each other and laughed bitterly.
“Da da da da ……”
A rush of hoofbeats came from outside, followed by Jiang Ban’er rushing into the tent, his face unsightly: “The Western Region’s army is on full attack! Chun Hui Fu, Ma Hui Zhai, and Yanghe Field are in full emergency!”
The generals immediately got up and observed the topographical map.
The Western Region’s one million troops were attacking from three directions, and the Western Qin army only had more than 100,000 troops, which meant that the troops were divided into three directions, each of which had to face nearly ten times the pressure of the enemy army.
“Da da ……”
Outside the account again came a sound of hoofbeats, soon bearded scruffy Sheng Lingge, lifted the tent broke in, scanning the circle, clasped his fist and saluted: “The great governor has ordered, comprehensive contraction of the battle line, give up the Chunhufu, Yangchengufu, Horseback Walled City, Yanghe field, Guiwei Prairie a line of 150,000 troops back to retreat to Xingling, a state of five provinces, le guard Jinchuan Pass, Ningling Pass, MaYi Pass, the three heavenly dangers!
Relocate all the people from the abandoned places and transfer all the grain and provisions!”
“Nonsense!”
Yuchi Jun and Tuoba Ke’ui, several veteran generals, became furious, “If we withdraw again, there will be no place to withdraw, one state and five provinces, how can we afford to feed 150,000 troops and millions of people?”
Folding Tengkun stood up violently: “We want to see the county king!”
Sheng Lingge looked as if it was none of his business and stepped aside: “The county king is collecting 40,000 western descendants! It’s just up ahead!”
A group of old generals looked at each other, hurried out of the tent, mounted their warhorses, and headed straight to the captive camp, and when they arrived at the place, they only saw the seven hundred Iron Floating Guards, who were already in the process of collecting more than 40,000 descendants from the Western Regions.
That young county king is sitting on a high general’s platform, sitting on a tai shi chair, behind him more than ten accompanying maids and henchmen all wearing armor.
The autumn sun hung high, drawing the shadows of the group of people long.
A group of old generals hurried to the side, and all of them performed a military salute: “The last generals and others have met the Great Capital Governor!”
Xin Zhuo lifted his hand in vain, signaling that there was no need to be courteous, pointing downwards to the descending soldiers from the Western Regions that could not be seen at a glance: “How is it?”
A group of old generals looked and found that the unruly foreign descendants, who could surrender in the past, but would rather die than obey, are now even honestly accepting the integration.
“How did the Grand Capital Governor do it?” Yuchi Jun inquired in surprise.
Xin Zhuo waved his robe and pointed to the distance, where there was a large cave pit, saying, “Simple! I dug a pit and buried two thousand western generals, tribal leaders and patriarchs of the stream alive, and the rest are naturally honest, no matter what the tribe is, there is never a shortage of second dogs! I’m going to organize these 40,000 or so western descendants into your tents, so that the Western Qin soldiers will have a strength of 200,000!”
Jiang Gu’en was taken aback: “Two hundred thousand troops, how will there be enough food and provisions?”
Xin Zhuo smiled: “I have just counted the army’s food and provisions, if you save some food, you can last for two months!”
“What about after two months?” A group of old generals teeth chattering, the court on the pretext that the grain road is cut off, has been unwilling to send grain and grass, obviously want to put the Western Qin soldiers with the dead, this is the thing that makes them extremely distressed, two months later if there is no grain and grass to replenish, not to mention the 200,000 troops, even if the 150,000 Western Qin soldiers will collapse without a fight.
Xin Zhuo looked to the crowd: “Two months later, the western region million army destroyed, thirteen countries destroyed, my Western Qin expanding five thousand miles of land, control the string of a million soldiers!”
A group of old generals scalp numb, this is too ghostly, playful?
“I don’t know where does the Great Governor get his strength from?”
Yuchi Shuozhen valiant face, revealing a trace of serious serious questioning, “also please big Governor do not boast, please say the actual thing, the plan that works, otherwise how can convince the public?”
Bai Xuan Gui hesitated for a moment and also said, “The student is also very confused, please explain!”
“Please, Great Capital Governor, solve the confusion!”
Nearly a hundred great generals performed a military salute in unison, questioning.
“You might as well broaden your horizons and look outside the battlefield!”
Xin Zhuo waved away a large group of miscellaneous generals, leaving behind only a group of studied and trusted veteran generals, and looked towards the distant pale earth and the twisted horizon under the autumn sun, “Why did the allied forces of the Thirteen Kingdoms conquer the land of Western Qin?”
A group of old generals were unsure, was there any reason for this? Seizing land, population, and a deadly rivalry with Great Zhou itself, that’s all.
Xin Zhuo laughed: “For one, they want the vast Western River Nine Waters Corridor and the three thousand miles of Horse Plains with its fertile water and grass, as well as the Western Qin land of three states and eighteen prefectures with its flourishing flowers!
Secondly, they may have also been compelled by someone with a heart of gold in Great Zhou to believe that they could destroy all of the Western Qin army and divide up the three states and eighteen prefectures! Not only will they have the land and population, but they will also have destroyed their arch-enemy! Extinguishing the sharp sword hanging over your head! Is that right?”
A group of generals looked at each other in dismay, that’s right, the Little County King analyzed it correctly, then what?
Xin Zhuo continued: “Now that they have gotten most of what they wanted, we even contracted our battle lines, showed weakness, and gave them enough sweeteners, what will the Western Region soldiers do at this time?”
Yuchi Jun arched his hand as a salute: “At this time, the Western Region soldiers are proud, in fact, they have already looked down on our Western Qin soldiers today, that is, considering how the several famous generals of Siqi have restrained them, they are still untouchable!”
“Very well! Let’s not say that pride will lead to defeat!” Xin Zhuo laughed: “What if in the future, my 200,000 Western Qin soldiers shrink their battle lines, rely on the majestic passes, and fight to the death, and they can’t chew or eat them?”
A group of generals looked at each other, a little confused, can’t gnaw, still surrounded not dead?
Xin Zhuo said: “You have to know, a drum, and then decline, three and exhaustion of the reasoning, the countries of the western region of the national strength in general, the land is barren, more than a million army people eat horse chewing, they can not eat, and it is impossible for them not to be worried about the heart of the unknown Great Zhou Temple Front Army and the Divine Strategies Army, so after a short period of time can not eat us, the heart of the army will certainly be shaken!
Of course! We can’t just rely on them to be shaken, it’s not right, we can’t be too naive!”
Xin Zhuo got up and looked straight at the group of generals, once again making sure that they were all trustworthy before he lowered his voice and said, “At this time, we have to fight the enemy’s rear without fighting! Firstly, send a good speaker to the royal family of each country, tell their king, Great Zhou can not give up the land of Western Qin, when our Western Qin army to fight the last person, their thirteen countries of the tired troops will face the wrath of the other Great Zhou to wait for the army, absolutely have a battle to destroy them, let them weigh their own, use their brains.
Second, the use of captured princesses and princes of various countries, so that money, jewelry, silk and jade to buy their harem consorts, in front of the emperor of various countries to blow the pillow wind!
Third, to buy the domestic political enemies of the leading generals of the Western Regions, telling them that the generals of the Western Regions are going to rebel, and if they don’t retreat, the country will be in danger!
Fourth, far and near attack, lobbying the thirteen countries behind the life and death of the enemy countries, thirteen countries have been empty, the Western Qin soldiers will be dead pincer the main army of each country, so that they back-stabbing sneak attack, I believe that they are not fools, they know how to do, once my Western Qin defeat, thirteen countries strength, their group of sons of bitches also do not want to live.
Fifth, send daredevil battalion, bypassing the Meng Yang Mountain, day by day to attack the western region army’s grain route! Set fire to it, flood it, in short, don’t let them have their way!
Sixth, I’ll create a plague and spread it to the Western army camp!
Seventh, I will keep an eye on the movements of the Western army, I want to know them like the back of my hand, even if they fart, it will be passed into my account!”
After a pause, looked to the generals who were already pale and dumbfounded: “These things have already made a tight plan, just waiting to discuss with you and send the most suitable candidates! These two months, we don’t fight! Topping their attack is considered a win! Can you do it?”
Jiang Gu’en, Yuchi Jun, Tuoba K’ei, Folding Kun, Lin Hao Tian a group of veteran generals heartily obeyed, immediately kneeled down on one knee and performed a military salute: “The last generals and others lead the way!”
Yuchi Shuozhen, Jiang Barbear, Bai Xuanqi, including Sheng Lingge, Sai Qingzhu a group of people also knelt down at the same time.
For a moment, only Xin Zhuo stood alone in the surroundings!
The generals suddenly understood the reasoning behind the saying, “A good warrior does not have great achievements in battle”, these were things they had never thought of before, or had thought of similar things, but their heads were confused and incomplete.
These things are not just nonsense or paperwork, but are highly likely to work and be effective!
The small county king’s big picture, vision and pattern in front of him, has already transcended the army conquest itself, the delicacy of the mind, the accuracy of looking at things, can be described as a burst of blood!
This is no longer arrogance, but really words, really capable, the wrist of the commander of the leading army!
“This matter must not go unnoticed, keep a close watch on each other!”
Xin Zhuo turned back, mounted his warhorse, and scanned the crowd: “I would like to say it in public, that is, I trust all of you, and I hope that after two months, it will be effective!”
After a pause: “I have a wild wish, to annihilate a million troops in the western region in one battle, I want to drink in the royal palaces of the western countries, rob them of their money, and toy with their queens and princesses!”
“Here!”
