Chapter 438

After listening to Shao Fang's analysis, the expression on Shao Ting's face did not change much, but his heart was also churning up and down, at this time, he also realized that it was indeed too rash for him to easily accept Ning Guo's request, he didn't think too much about it at first, he only felt that it was extremely beneficial to Mo Guo to agree to Ning Guo's troops, but after listening to Shao Fang's words, he suddenly realized that things were far from being as simple as he imagined.

Now that the fierce battle between Feng and Ning is in full swing, Mozambique is watching the fire from the other side, which is easy and comfortable, and once he is trapped, the situation is not as optimistic as it is now. Shao Ting was already an unassertive person, and his ears were soft and capricious, and at this time he regretted his rash agreement to Yan Chu's request.

There is no medicine for regret in the world, he has already said it, and it is too late to regret it now.

Shao Ting walked back to the king's chair, sat down, and muttered: "This king has already promised the historian of Ningguo, do you want this king to go back on his word, then where is the prestige of my Mo country in the future?" "Yes, the king has already agreed to the historian of Ningguo, if he suddenly repents, it will damage the prestige of the country and the reputation of the king." Zhang Rong can only grasp this last straw now, hoping that it will be a foregone conclusion to send troops to the wind.

"At the critical juncture of my life and death, my prestige and fame are all insignificant. Dong Sheng raised his voice and shouted loudly-for-tat: "Is it just for the sake of these false names that you have to know that you can't do it? Is Master Zhang going to push me to a dangerous situation from which I will never recover?" Zhang Rong's face was red and white when he was scolded by Dong Sheng, and his body trembled with anger, and he was just about to open his mouth to refute, Shao Ting waved his hand impatiently, and said in a deep voice: "Don't quarrel anymore!" After speaking, he turned his head to look at the left minister Guo Hui and the general Li Jin on the right side, and asked, "Guo Aiqing, General Li, what about the two of you?" If we put Zuo Xiang and the great general in modern times, the positions of these two people are equivalent to the chief of the military and political staff and the minister of national defense, one is in charge of military affairs, and the other is in charge of military power. The two of them belonged to the centrist faction in the Mozambican court and did not participate in the dispute between the crown princes, that is, they did not support Shao Fang or Shao Bo.

Hearing Shao Ting's questioning at this time, Li Jin did not immediately express his position, but raised his eyes to look at Guo Hui, the left minister beside him.

The latter pondered for a moment, and said quietly: "Great King, the old minister also feels that it is too risky to use troops against the wind now. After a pause, he looked at the other ministers and continued: "At present, although the defenders of the Baguan of the Wind Country are only more than 30,000 people, the guards will be Yingbu, this person has been in the Baguan for seven or eight years, for such a long time, he has almost never made a mistake in the Baguan, it can be seen that this person is extraordinary in ability and cautious, in addition, the defenders of the Baguan are all veterans, experienced, and strong combat power, and they are united. The Chifeng army is not far from the Baguan, the commander of the Sanshui Army, Liang Qi, is known as a ghost, very good at using soldiers, there are 150,000 soldiers under his command, and the strength of the Chifeng Army is also more than 100,000, if our army attacks Baguan, these two armies will definitely come to reinforcements as soon as possible, at that time, the defenders of Baguan will reach 300,000 people, with the precipitous and city defense of Baguan, if our army wants to conquer Baguan, the required troops must be at least more than 800,000. "Guo Hui's analysis is a professional analysis, Dong Sheng and Shao Fang oppose sending troops, what they talk about are some big truths, to put it bluntly, they are all empty words, nonsense, and Guo Hui is talking about these are real problems, raising 800,000 troops, how easy it is to say, just preparing the 800,000 troops when they need the grain and grass for the war is not something that can be completed in a short time.

Shao Ting swallowed and foamed, his backbone completely softened, he thought that his own attack on the Baguan only needed 200,000 or 300,000 soldiers and horses was enough, who had ever wanted at least 800,000 troops, this was an attack on a city, it was simply a national war.

Shao Ting was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time, and the ministers also looked at each other and were speechless. At this time, Li Jin opened his mouth and said: "Great King, the last general has an idea, which can make the Great King not lose his trust, and prevent our country from fighting with the Wind Country. "Oh, General, what an idea, tell me quickly!" Shao Ting was shocked and hurriedly said.

"The king can send 200,000 troops to gather on the Mofeng border, put on a posture of attacking the Baguan, and then make our army garrison without attacking, so that he can deal with the Ning State and will not make enemies with the Feng Country. "Well...... En, en, en!" Shao Ting first responded faintly, thought about it carefully, nodded again and again, and said: "What the general said is reasonable, but what if the Ning army comes to urge our army to attack?" "Hehe!" Li Jin chuckled lightly and said: "There are many excuses for delay, insufficient food and grass, shortage of armaments, difficulty in transporting siege weapons, etc., any excuse can be delayed for ten days and a half months, as long as it is delayed two or three times, I think, there is no need to save the battle and the battle invincible......" "Oh? haha??" Shao Ting was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but stroke his palm and laugh loudly, and praised: "Good plan, really good plan! I think, just act according to the general's plan!" After speaking, he suddenly realized that he had not yet discussed with other ministers, he hurriedly looked around at everyone and asked, "Do you think this plan is feasible?" Dong Sheng, Shao Fang and the others naturally have no opinions, even if Zhang Rong has an opinion, he doesn't dare to say it at this time, and now even Zuo Xiang and the general are on Dong Sheng's side, and if he says more, he will not only offend these two people, but also arouse the vigilance of Shao Ting and other ministers.

Anyway, I've tried my best, but it's hard to do it alone, and I can't change the overall situation, and there's no way to do it. Zhang Rong sighed faintly in his heart.

Under the persuasion of Dong Sheng, Shao Fang, Guo Hui, Li Jin and other civil and military ministers, Shao Ting changed his plan to send troops to attack Baguan, sending troops or sending troops, but it was out but not attacking, 200,000 Ning troops gathered in front of Baguan City, stationed in place, that is, not scolding, nor attacking the city, the two sides were at peace, almost every day was eating at the same time, practicing at the same time, sleeping at the same time, the only difference was that one side was in the city, and the other side was outside the city.

Soon, Tianyan's eyeliner in Zhenjiang passed the situation in the Mozcan court back to Tang Yin, and after Tang Yin read all the reports from beginning to end, Fang Chang let out a sigh, it turned out that the gathering of the army of Mozambique was just a bluff, and it was shown to Ning Guo, and there was no intention of attacking Baguan.

Of course, this is the best, but Tang Yin didn't dare to be careless, this report was Shao Fang's words, who knows if what he said is true or false, what if he just said it on purpose, but in fact he really wanted to attack Baguan? Tang Yin did not transfer back the Sanshui Army sent to Baguan because of this report, but let the Chifeng Army continue to march towards Zhangyu.

The more than 100,000 wind troops led by Tang Yin did not attack on the periphery of Zhangyu City, obviously waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, as Xiao Muqing expected at the beginning, the first to lose his breath was the Zhangyu side.

The Feng army has reinforcements, but Zhangyu is isolated and helpless, and the battle is unequaled and invincible and cannot receive information from the outside world now, and they are not even sure whether the carrier pigeon asking for help has flown back to Ningdu Liangzhou, they dare not go on with Tang Yin like this.

On this day, it was the fifth day of Tang Yin's siege of Zhangyu, and the two generals Hao Zhao and Jiang Fan both came to Xiao Shang to ask for orders, and waited until the evening, so that the two of them could lead the army to attack the enemy camp at night and defeat the Feng army outside the city in one fell swoop.

Of course, Xiao Shang still disagreed, but Hao Zhao and Jiang Fan were resolute and had a dispute with Xiao Shang.

Soon, Zhong Tian, Zhan Wushuang, Zhan Invincible and others also rushed over, hearing that Hao Zhao and Jiang Fan were going to take the initiative to fight, Zhan Invincible stepped forward, and Zhengse said: "Defend the city to the death, once we wait for the reinforcements of the Feng Army to arrive, we have only one way to die, rather than sit and wait for death, it is better to give it a go, I am willing to accompany the two generals to fight together!" Hearing that Zhan Invincible was also going to fight, Xiao Shang was stunned, not knowing whether to continue to stop or agree.

Zhan Wushuang nodded and said: "If it drags on, it is indeed extremely disadvantageous to our side, while the reinforcements of the Wind Army have not arrived now, we still have a chance, if we can succeed in the sneak attack, * retreat the enemy soldiers, we can take advantage of the victory to pursue, and even expel the Wind Army from Gaochuan County in one fell swoop." "This ......" Xiao Shang didn't have much hope for this, he said with a sad face: "There are more than 100,000 enemy troops outside the city, and Tang Yin himself is in charge, how can it be so easy to be defeated by our army?" Hao Zhao smiled and said confidently: "Maybe the Feng army also has the same idea as the adults, and it is expected that our army will not dare to go out of the city to sneak attack, so as to neglect to take precautions, which is very beneficial to us." The Chinese army in the enemy camp is very weak, if our side directly attacks the enemy's Chinese army, there is a great chance of success, once it succeeds, the enemy army will definitely be in chaos, and when our side attacks the whole army, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy army!" Listening to Hao Zhao's rhetoric, Xiao Shang was still a little uncertain, hesitated, and did not dare to make a decision easily.

At this time, Zhan Wushuang said: "Through the observation of the past few days, I have also found that the enemy's Chinese army is insufficient. "Oh?" Xiao Shang was stunned for a moment, he also observed the enemy camp, how did he think that the enemy camp had a lot of Chinese troops? He asked rhetorically: "I don't know where General Wushuang came from?" Zhan Wushuang shrugged his shoulders and said: "Actually, it is very simple, you only need to observe the stove built by the enemy camp to judge the approximate strength of troops. The Chinese army in the enemy camp seems to have many tents and rows of stoves, but in fact, there are only a few dozen smoke from the military stoves at the time of meals, so it can be judged that the strength of the army in the enemy camp will not be tens of thousands. Xiao Shang inhaled, he didn't expect to observe the enemy camp and say that the actual strength can be judged by the stove that rises smoke, which he never knew before. When the enemy had just set up the camp, Hao Zhao saw that the enemy's Chinese army was weak, and now Zhan Wushuang also saw this, so it shouldn't be wrong, could it be that he really went to attack the enemy's Chinese army?
