(Thanks to half a knife zsz for your support, thank you!) ）

Yang Willy sat down by the fire, rubbing his cold hands in the flickering light of the fire. His eyes were staring directly at the stones at his feet, and his black pupils glowed brighter than flames.

"What do you think?" Siegfried asked.

"If Wang Jingyin is luring the enemy, then his tricks are really poor." Yang Willy said thoughtfully.

"Tempt a bird! The main force of the Zhao army is in Shenzhou, and there are no soldiers and horses on this side of Dingzhou, besides, those Zhao troops don't know the truth of our operation at all, they have already been scared when they see our people all over the mountains, and they have already been scared of their legs and peeing their pants, you see that we only have one battalion, but within three days, the soldiers captured three cities without blood, Beiping, Wangdu, and Tang County, and the defenders fled faster than one city. The tall and mighty black bear Zhao Xiaobao took a step in the direction of Yang Willy, and a low voice came out of his throat.

"What do you want to do so much, let's rest for a while, kill directly under Dingzhou City, and allow them to flee from the wind, let's continue to fight without bloodshed." While boiling a can of beans, he stared at the piece of jerky in Zhao Xiaobao's hand with bright eyes, and his saliva was already dripping. "Commander, if we take Dingzhou again, and look back on meritorious deeds, your commander will become a soldier and horse envoy, and our brothers will also rise together, and then my son will be the son of Dutou."

In the last battle of Daibei, Yang Willy was promoted from the head of the capital to the battalion master, which was regarded as a rapid improvement, and he was promoted by two levels in a row. All of his people have basically been rewarded for promotion. Qi Gefei, Zhao Xiaobao, and Zhen Ji Ji. Now they are all team-level officers.

"Don't be greedy. Greedy for merit. Even if Dingzhou City is really taken, it is estimated that there will be no reward at that time. If he is ambushed by mistake, Shi Jingtang will become the eldest son again in the future. Yang Weili grabbed two handfuls of hair, and carefully looked at the situation map of Dingzhou placed with stones under his feet.

At the beginning of the month, the king of Qin issued an ultimatum to Chengde Town, telling them to surrender to the Qin domain within three days.

Three days later, Chengdezhen refused to surrender and sent a letter to scold the King of Qin. Subsequently. Shenzhou Raoyang City announced that it would be attached to the Qin Domain, and as a result, the son of the deputy marshal of Chengde, Wang Shiyuan, the commander of the Yanei Prefecture, led 5,000 soldiers to kill Raoyang, stormed Raoyang, and wanted to clean up the portal.

When Raoyang was about to break the city, the Qin army of the Hejian fortress attacked, and Zhu Han, the forward general of the Hejian soldiers, horses, and cavalry, led a thousand cavalry to the battlefield, and Wang Shiyuan did not dare to meet the enemy and led his troops to withdraw. Zhu Hanzhi led his troops to pursue, and the two sides fought in the south of Raoyang City. 1,000 cavalry of the Qin army fought against 5,000 Chengde tooth soldiers, and Zhu Han's troops attacked fiercely. However, Wang Shiyuan was always worried about the arrival of the main force of the Qin army, and did not dare to fight, and fought and retreated, but he was defeated all the way, ambushed for thirty miles, and lost more than 1,000 people before retreating to Shenzhou.

On this day, the Qin army launched a full-scale attack on the town of Chengde.

Yi, Ding, Shen, and Ji were attacked on all fronts at the same time, except for Zhenzhou, which was in the rear, and was not attacked for the time being, it can be said that the Qin army's action was very rapid and powerful.

The momentum is extremely huge, on the east and west fronts of hundreds of miles, the Qin army dispatched the infantry and cavalry armies, the soldiers, the unity soldiers, the township soldiers, the militia, the road maintenance soldiers, and the student soldiers all went to the battlefield, and the information received by Wang Jingyin from all parties was summed up, and the Qin army was now facing the attack force of the four states, which reached at least 400,000 people.

This is simply unimaginable, 400,000 people?

Wang Jingyin calculated, if the Qin army added up all the soldiers and horses in Hebei, Beiping, Shandong, etc., and even those united soldiers, township soldiers, militia, student soldiers, road maintenance soldiers, etc., it was not impossible to have 400,000.

But why did Li Jing suddenly mobilize so many troops and attack Chengde in the south?

Wang Jingyin couldn't understand, with so many troops, don't you want grain and grass? Didn't the Qin army say that there was a shortage of grain and grass, tighten their belts, grit their teeth and save grain and grass there, and save it to be transported to the Bohai battlefield. Why is it so bold all of a sudden? A staff officer suggested that perhaps the Qin army was bluffing in order to intimidate Chengdezhen and force Chengdezhen to surrender.

At first, Wang Jingyin also believed this statement a little, but then, in just three days, countless defeats had been transmitted from all over the four prefectures of Chengde Town, and the garrisons on the border were almost destroyed by the Qin army, and no one could stop their offensive at all.

By the seventh day, Shenzhou had lost the two cities of Raoyang and Anping, Jizhou had lost Fucheng, Wuyi, and Zaoqiang, and Dingzhou had lost Tangxian, Beiping, and Wangdu, except for Zhaozhou and Zhenzhou, in seven days, Chengde Town had lost eight cities and lost more than 5,000 soldiers and horses.

The cavalry of the Qin army can sometimes break through two or three cities in a day, how can such a rapid offensive be a bluff?

This could never be a bluff, but should be a year and a half of silence for the Qin army, which was actually secretly planning this attack. They have done a good job of secrecy, and they have been accumulating strength and waiting for the right time. When all the towns in the Central Plains were involved in the battle between Tian Lingzi and the Yang brothers, Li Jing finally made a move, and as soon as he made a move, he had an army of 400,000. They want to fight a lightning war, before everyone reacts, before the other feudal towns intervene, they will destroy their virtue.

Wang Jingyin began to regret a little, if he refused to surrender, he refused to surrender, why did he want to reply to such a fiercely worded letter? Or, maybe you should come up with a delaying tactic, don't agree and don't refuse, just keep dragging it out.

I have always felt that Qin Fan is now a sick cat, but who knows that the Daoist people are fierce and fierce, and they have been pretending to be pigs and eating tigers.

"Maybe we should talk to Li Jing!" After a long time, the haggard Wang Jingyin's voice was low, and he said to his nephew Wang Rong helplessly.

The generals of Chengde Town are now worried, feeling that this catastrophe is coming, and they are gradually dissatisfied with the main battle of their brothers. For this reason, even if Wang Jingyin is just doing superficial things, he has to show more respect for his nephew on the surface.

"Uncle, nephew thinks Li Jing is cheating!"

Wang Jingyin's question was a casual question, to show his respect for Wang Rong, the marshal, in order to appease the dissatisfaction of the generals with him, but he didn't expect him to answer. Who knows. Wang Rong really answered. And to say such astonishing things.

Wang Jingyi snorted coldly. glanced at Wang Rong with disdain, the childish who had not dried up was really regarded as King Zhao? If it weren't for their brother's status, his mother was just a lowly kabuki, and their brother couldn't sit on this handsome position, how could they support him to be a marshal. This kid usually looks smart, how to give him some color, he really opened a dyeing room. Military Imperatives. Does he understand?

Wang Jingyin was also unimpressed, but on the surface, he still looked at his nephew and smiled: "Why did the king say that? ”

Ten-year-old Wang Rong has long lips and white teeth, is extremely handsome, and is usually very smart. At this time, he didn't see the ridicule in his uncle's eyes, and said: "The Qin Domain fought for many years in the past few years, and now there is still a large army fighting against the tribal army in the Bohai Sea. Moreover, the territory and population of the Qin Domain have expanded too rapidly in recent years, and now they have nine provinces and a population of more than 15 million. Moreover, Li Jing and the other feudal towns did not have much, and their grain prices were uniformly purchased, and then the supply of low-price quotas was maintained. The people of the Qin Domain naturally had food for everyone, but the result was. The new land and grain output in the Qin Domain has not increased much in recent years, but their new population has doubled, and in addition, the Qin Domain has fought several times, and the food consumed is huge. Because of this, the Qin clan also had a famine last year, which was even very serious, so it had to be silent, and let the auxiliaries other than those soldiers disarm and return to the fields to concentrate on production. I heard that the Qin clan also sent sailors to fish, and rode to hunt to supplement the lack of food. ”

After saying a long list of words, Wang Rong became more and more fluent, "I don't think this information is wrong, on the contrary, I think that the Qin Fan is indeed facing a great loss of vitality after the war, and now he is recovering with all his strength, sitting at home and licking his wounds." Under such circumstances, how could Li Jing have the spare strength to attack us? It is impossible to say that 400,000 troops were mobilized at once? Both uncles were experts in military affairs, and they knew that fighting a war was not about the more soldiers, the better. Now, Li Jing suddenly sent 400,000 troops to attack us without the slightest warning, and I think it can only explain one thing. That is, the Qin army is bluffing, it is impossible for them to recruit so many soldiers, and even, they don't really want to fight us at all, they just want to make a momentum. ”

Wang Jingyi retorted: "Even if as you said, the Qin army was greatly injured due to years of war and the rapid increase in the population of the territory, but in a year and a half, maybe the Qin army has recovered?" Just because Li Jing didn't come to attack us a year and a half ago doesn't mean that he won't come to attack us a year and a half later. What's more, this time the towns in the Central Plains are unable to look north, this is a good time for Li Jing to send troops. Besides, who told you that fighting a war is not the better for the more soldiers? It also depends on the situation, the Qin army borders on the border with our Chengde border for hundreds of miles, and we are all on the great plain of Hebei. If the Qin army can bring in a million men and horses, it will directly overwhelm us. The young marshal is still young, so he can study with peace of mind, and as for this internal and external matter, it is enough to have our brothers. ”

Wang Jingyin nodded lightly, and also felt that what his brother said was very reasonable, losing eight cities in seven days, which shows that the Qin army is really moving, and there are a lot of soldiers and horses, maybe not 400,000, but even if it is half, it is 200,000. And the more troops Li Jing sent out, the more it showed that Li Jing really wanted to swallow them up with lightning speed. What the nephew said was completely speculated on the basis that the Qin army's previous loss of vitality was too heavy and could not recover in three or five years. But the matter of war is not entirely in accordance with common sense. If Li Jing is really sure to swallow Chengde Town, then he will mobilize hundreds of thousands of people to fight a thunderbolt war, and after success, he can completely use the fruits of victory to fill the consumption of the war.

"Calculating Li Jing's mother, it seems that her birthday is also about to pass, just right, send an envoy to Yanjing to bring more gifts in the name of birthday congratulations to Yanjing to seek peace, and by the way, also explore the reality of the Qin army along the way." Wang Jingyin made some difficult decisions.

"Who will go?"

Wang Jingyin frowned, the weight of the people sent was low, if the Qin army really wanted to destroy Zhao this time, then this mission was extremely important, and the time was very urgent. There is no time to ask for instructions back and forth, there must be a person with full authority to go, and after the judgment is clear, the decision will be made immediately.

"You go to Yanjing in person, and if you find that the Qin army really wants to destroy Zhao, try your best to make peace. It's really not possible, and you can promise to surrender to Li Jing as a last resort. The key point is that you do your best to find a way to keep the military power in the hands of our Wang family, it is not a last resort, you can't promise to hand over the military power, let alone move the Wang family to Yanjing. ”

Wang Jingyi nodded, in these years, there are soldiers who are the king of grass. Even if they have to surrender to Li Jing at that time, as long as the military power in their hands is still in their hands, they are still the kings of Chengde. After the Anshi Rebellion, the three feudatories of Hebei were divided for more than 100 years, and they have not always done so. When you are strong, you don't care about the court at all, and you can even be called the emperor. If you can't do it with the court, then admit defeat and call yourself a minister, as long as they hold the military power, then sooner or later there will be a time to rise.

Wang Rong couldn't help but interject on the side, "Uncle, don't do this, Li Jing is just bluffing, he is just waiting for us to sue for peace." As long as we give in, we will have to let him slaughter him. Believe me, Li Jing is now weak, not as strong as he seems. The louder he makes, the weaker he is. We must hold on, we can shrink our defense for the time being, and then go and ask my father-in-law to borrow Shatuobing, and then ask him to help introduce Yang Fuguang. Now in the Central Plains, Yang Fuguang is the strongest, and his eight righteous sons are all marshals of a town, with strong soldiers and strong horses, and they also do not deal with Li Jing, especially Zhu Quanzhong and Li Quanzhong, both of whom are Li Jing's enemies. The enemy of the enemy is our friend, let's take some gifts, give some money and food, and invite them to come and deal with Li Jing together. As long as we are not intimidated, Li Jing will definitely not be able to hold out after the last day, and he will have to retreat at that time. ”

"If even you, a ten-year-old child, can see through Li Jing's plan, then aren't all the towns in the world even inferior to children? Li Jing has been in vain so far, is it a waste of fame? Wang Jingyin couldn't help but shout, "Our Wang clan has been in charge of the Chengde army for sixty years now, and with you, we are already the sixth commander of Chengde Town." The ancestors laid this foundation so hard, how could it be destroyed in your hands? You are still young, and it is not your turn to manage these major military affairs, so you should study your books and practice more martial arts. Don't always know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and the rumors go out to make the world laugh. ”

Wang Rong's face was swollen and red when he was scolded by Wang Jingyin, and he didn't dare to reply, and angry tears rolled in his eyes!

After being sent back to the backyard of the palace by Wang Jingyin, Wang Rong finally couldn't hold back his tears. After crying for a while, he sat up, walked to the bookcase, polished the ink, laid the paper, picked up the pen, and put ink on the dark yellow letterhead: King of Jin Lao Taishan Zunjian (to be continued......
