Chapter 37: Here comes the opportunity

"But militarily speaking, it would not be wise to march into Pingliang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Pingliang City is tall and sturdy, and all kinds of defense facilities are complete. Not only in the northwest, but even if you look at Daqin, it can be called the first fortified city. Not to mention that the Yun family's army was well-trained and well-equipped, if they rashly attacked the Yun family's army, it was likely that they would be trapped under Pingliang City for many days without achieving anything. When the time comes, will the king withdraw or not?

If the siege is even more undesirable, Mr. Gongsun is right. If Daqin's army was all dragged under Pingliang City, those vassal states in Shandong would pounce like wolves. At that time, Great Qin's eastern defense line could not stop the Six-Nation Alliance forces rushing in like a flood. At that time, the hundreds of thousands of Qin army soldiers trapped under Pingliang City will face the dilemma of having no food and grass outside the fortified city. If you don't need the Yun family or the coalition to fight, I'm afraid that you will collapse.

In any case, attacking the Yun family before destroying the Six Kingdoms of Shandong must be the way to death. Please think twice! "Alexander knew what he had to say, and he always analyzed the problem from a military point of view. Other things, absolutely not mixed up. This is also one of the tricks that he can continue to trust Jing Er, he has also been a king and knows what kind of person the emperor likes.

"Gu also knows this truth, but Yun Yue is really too deceitful this time. And this lesson also told Gu that if Pingliang had been helping the Six Kingdoms of Shandong in this way, the war to unify China would be very difficult. Even Great Qin was simply not able to achieve victory in the war.

You think about it, the wars of the previous years. The vassal states together are not Great Qin's opponents, but now a small South Korea has become a big problem for Great Qin. The army of 80,000 suffered heavy losses under the strong attack, and failed to capture those few small and poor border cities. Was this possible before? What Gu is worried about is that under the continuous arming of the Yun family, the Six Kingdoms of the East are getting stronger and stronger. When the time comes, it will be impossible for us to unify China. The ancestors of the Great Qin dynasties, a hundred years of careful preparation cannot be destroyed in one fell swoop. Jing Er's face was flushed with excitement, and Gongsun Long and Alexander didn't dare to speak. They must admit that the king has a point. Since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the Qin State has made great efforts to govern the country, and its national strength has been thriving.

Especially after the Changping War, it has become the undisputed overlord of the vassal states. The person most likely to unify China and end these hundreds of years of strife is likely to be this generation of Qin Wang Yingzheng. The emergence of the Keyun family has made the sure thing a variable, and now it is only a few years of arming. has already made the weak South Korea so powerful, if Yun Yue chooses to cooperate with Wei or the stronger Zhao State, what will the situation be? At that time, let alone unify China, I am afraid that the overlord position of Great Qin will be difficult to protect. Jing Erhou was anxious to pull out the nail of Ping Liang, just to see the huge destructive power of the Yun family.

"But the two gentlemen are right, Pingliang is high after all. If you attack rashly, it is impossible to achieve a complete victory. Ke Gu got the information that the main force of the Yun family's army had been transferred to the distant Western Regions in batches. As for where it went, no one knows! It seems that because a general was killed, Yun Yue took his soldiers to avenge him.

The current Pingliang City is only guarded by tens of thousands of villagers, if it is said that those tiger and wolf divisions in Pingliang are still something to consider in Daqin. These townsmen are completely incomparable with our Qin army. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as you take it. Take Pingliang City in one fell swoop, and it will be too late for Yun Yue to come back and say anything.

If you want to siege the city! Hey! When the time comes, the castle is high and Chijian is our advantage. I don't believe that Yun Yue only has tens of thousands of people, and most of them are cavalry, and he can really go down to the fortified city in one fell swoop. As soon as Jing Er said this, the eyes of Gongsun Long and Alexander lit up.

If it's really like Jing Er said, this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as Pingliang is conquered, even if Yun Yue comes back, what will happen. He only had seventy or eighty thousand men in his hands, and he was not even qualified to attack the city. Moreover, the families of those soldiers are all in the city, and when the time comes, I am afraid that if you find some family members to climb the heights, Yunyue's army will be scattered. My wife and children are all in the city, and I still have a fart!

"Is this true?" Gongsun Long's eyes flashed with excitement and asked eagerly.

"Of course, this is the news that Hosaku only came back yesterday. Now even Yun Yue is not in Pingliang City, and there are only tens of thousands of villagers guarding Pingliang City. It was the weakest time in these years. Jing Er said with some pride.

Pingliang's counter-espionage is in full swing, and it can be said that the meticulous work sent out by Qiandu and Zhao Gao has basically been swept away. But Pingliang is a commercial city after all, and many people come to join it every year. At that time, there was no Internet, and it was difficult to find out if there were one or two small works mixed in between. Zhao Gao also took this opportunity, so he ambushed the next two people. For safety, they didn't even dare to feed carrier pigeons, and the way to deliver messages was old-fashioned messengers. It's also one of the most hidden and hard-to-spot ways. It's just that the transmission of information is slower, and some time-sensitive things take a long time to be transmitted back to Xianyang.

"If that's the case, you should be able to give it a try. If we move in quickly, there should be a chance. However, the stakes remain significant. It is best for the king to find some internal responses in Pingliang City, so that they can come in handy at the most critical time. Otherwise, even if there are only tens of thousands of people defending the city. It is also difficult to break through Pingliang, and the most important thing is that Yunhou can't come back in these three months. If Yunhou returns, we must immediately stop the military operation. The most feared thing is that Yunhou suddenly returns when the city is being attacked here. If so, that's bad! "It was Alexander who quickly analyzed all the possibilities of the matter.

"Mr. Iron Mask is right, the most important thing is that we have accurate information. Now the matter of intelligence is the number one priority! Gongsun Long interjected. He also believes that the worst result is that the Qin army is attacking the city, and Yun Yue is back. At that time, is it a hard-headed siege? Or return to Daqin? No matter what is done, before the east is pacified, another great enemy is erected in the northwest.

"It's very difficult to do intelligence matters, and Zhao Gao is also a usable one. But in the face of Pingliang's strangulation, it is still difficult to obtain specific things. Yun Yue's skills in employing people are amazing! Over the years, we have not succeeded in buying a high-level person. A few middle-level ones have also been cleared out. That Mao Jia is also a ruthless person! Speaking of intelligence, Jing Er was also helpless. Mao Jia, who is just a small person on his side, can take on a big responsibility when he arrives at Yun Yue.

On several occasions, he spent a lot of money to buy some middle-level officials of the Yun family, but it didn't take long for Mao Jia to find out. Not only was he skinned, but his family was also subjected to the fact that men were slaves and women were prostitutes. He also stripped the wife of the convict naked and locked her on the street, making a baby to set an example.

Such vicious methods discouraged those who wanted to defect to the imperial court. No matter how bad it is in Pingliang, life is still full of wine and meat. But if you defect to the imperial court, a happy family will fall apart in an instant. After all, everyone likes to live a peaceful life. (To be continued.) )
