Chapter 733: Each Leads the Way
From high altitude, you can clearly see the watershed below.
'Su Zhao', who was also on the large bird, looked down and could determine that the Dongyu River was below, and he could also be sure that her captors had taken her back to the territory of Yan Kingdom.
"Is the battle of Song Yan over?" she asked Yuan Gang on the side.
Yuan Gang stared at her, "You care about this war very much. ”
Su Zhao asked rhetorically: "Don't you care?
Yuan Gang looked ahead and did not answer.
Su Zhao bit her lip, knowing what the other party meant, and didn't tell her identity and what she wanted to know, but she had her concerns, and although she was extremely worried about the war, she still didn't dare to reveal her identity.
......
As soon as the Song State retreated and crossed the Dongyu River, it immediately advanced to the depth in an all-round way.
The two countries of Yan and Song negotiated an alliance, and the defense line of the Eastern Regions River no longer needed to be defended, and facing the point of food shortage, the relevant area had been cleared by Meng Shanming, and the Song army was no longer able to defend it. And this is exactly what the Yan State needs, after the other party compromises and forms an alliance, the Yan State also does not need to spend a lot of resources in the area of the Eastern Regions River.
And Meng Shanming's strategy and tactics are clever, always leaving a back hand just in case, and the Shi Xinmao Department who has not retreated from the rear has not only consolidated the effect of clearing the field, but also can respond at any time, and if necessary, it can also stay on the side of the Eastern Regions River to defend.
In this way, there is no need to worry about the future, Meng Shanming can safely lead most of the people to deal with possible crises in other aspects, and the most important thing now is to wait for the food and grass support of the country.
After crossing the river, Meng Shanming and Shang Chaozong successfully rendezvous, the scene of the two meeting was very exciting, and the people who returned from the Eastern Expedition cheered like a tsunami, for them, the threat of the Song State was dispelled by them, and it was a victorious return.
The two who worked hard to save Dayan had a long talk after meeting, but Niu Youdao was still nowhere to be found......
The Song army, which had withdrawn from the Dongyu River, was in a different situation, and its morale was extremely low, and it was really not enough to eat.
After many twists and turns, after several consumptions, the food is about to run out, the dry rice has become porridge, and three porridges have become two, and it is conceivable that it will have to become one meal later, and the maintenance is not to let people starve to death. The army was hungry all day long, weak and slow.
Knowing that Wu Gongling was coming across the river, Luo Zhao was highly vigilant, and he quickly recruited people to ask, "Isn't there anything wrong with confirming that Wu Gongling?"
Wen You, who was shaking on horseback, said: "There shouldn't be any problems, the news from the imperial court, Meng Shanming let us all evacuate in the hope that Wu Gongling would kill us, but Meng Shanming didn't know that Wu Gongling had already been secretly bought by the court of my Song Kingdom." ”
Su Yuan's white chin bowed: "The price is the territory of the two states!"
Luo Zhao sneered: "Take advantage of the fire to rob, this thief is ambitious, and he does not hesitate to kill his brother, and it will become a problem sooner or later!"
Wen You sighed: "The Governor of the Metropolis, the imperial court has no choice but to make this compromise, the current situation can only appease him first, and when it eases up, it is not too late to clean him up!"
Several forces, Jin Jue intended to use Wu Gongling to enter the Song State to make trouble, in order to break the balance of Song Yan's alliance and confrontation, subvert and weaken one side, so that Korea could take the Song State at the lowest cost, but was betrayed by Wu Gongling.
Meng Shanming knew Jin Jue's intentions, in order to stabilize Jin Jue to avoid chaos against Yan Guo, after all, the situation in Yan Country is very dangerous, and there is also a Zhao State eyeing the tiger, in order to reduce the pressure and not break the situation, continue to lead the water to the east, and use Wu Gongling to attack Luo Zhao's people, but was betrayed by Wu Gongling.
The Song State knew Meng Shanming's intentions, and when he was overstretched and weak, he could only try his best to appease Wu Gongling, and directly carved out two pieces of territory, so that Wu Gongling could directly occupy it after entering the Song Kingdom.
Jin Jue's intentions were known by Wu Gongling's sale to Meng Shanming, and Meng Shanming's intentions were sold by Wu Gongling to Song Guo.
Wu Gongling himself is also in a difficult situation, in order to protect himself, he first stabilizes the three parties to ensure his own safety, and then makes a choice depending on the situation.
But at this time, Luo Zhao looked at the people and horses around him who were weak to march, and his heart was still uneasy, "Three elders, please send people to Wu Gongling's side as soon as possible to confirm whether it is worry-free, otherwise once Wu Gongling changes, our department will be vulnerable and the consequences will be unimaginable, and the personnel who supervise Shi Xinmao's men and horses must not be relaxed!"
His worries are not unreasonable, the ones who can threaten this side at present are Wu Gongling and Shi Xinmao, Su Yuanbai and others immediately sent people to execute.
However, the news that came after that was very disturbing, to be precise, there was no news back, and there was no news of the people sent to Wugongling, like a stone sinking into the sea, even sending two groups to the past.
According to the observation of the spies, Wu Gongling's men and horses were rushing towards this side.
Luo Zhao, who was keenly aware of the crisis on the front line, had already made a decision and decisively ordered the grain transporter of the Song State to disperse the grain and grass in a way that was broken into parts.
At the same time, it also retreated more than 2 million people and horses in his hands in a way of breaking them into parts, and went to the direction of grain and grass evacuation and transportation in a group of 1,000 people.
The main purpose is that in the event of an accident, he wants to preserve the strength of the Song Kingdom as much as possible, so as to avoid people and horses being concentrated in one place and being given a pot.
The dispersion of grain and grass, the dispersion of people and horses, will inevitably increase the distance between the two sides, and prolong the time for people and horses to meet with grain and grass.
At least, after the people are dispersed, no matter what they eat to eat grass and bark, they may still be able to find something to eat, and if more than two million people are gathered together, the balance between the supply and demand of grass and bark will also have to be broken, and how can there be so much grass and bark to eat wherever they go?
It was difficult for Luo Zhao to make this decision, but it was also a last resort.
For Wu Gongling, now that he has leveled South Korea and successfully survived the biggest threat of Meng Shanming, he has been able to breathe.
has been going around in circles like this, he can't go on anymore, he has to make a choice, and finally tore through Heshan, showed his fangs, and attacked the soft persimmon, rushing to chase and kill Luo Zhao's people!
Luo Zhao's move to break the army into pieces did cause great trouble to Wu Gongling's people, and Wu Gongling's strength was limited after all.
However, Wu Gongling is not a vegetarian, and sent people to keep an eye on the movement of the grain and grass after they dispersed, divided the troops to rob the grain, and at the same time divided the troops to chase and kill Luo Zhao's scattered men and horses, which was also a fake move to cover his own grain robbery.
The men and horses on both sides were scattered on a large scale, and it was difficult to detect the specific intentions, but Wu Gongling still had considerable combat experience.
Wu Gongling's efforts are indeed not a joke, Jin Jue from South Korea saw it in his eyes and was very pleased, thinking that he had indeed misunderstood Wu Gongling before.
Meng Shanming also saw it in his eyes, but it was something he expected, Wu Gongling's life was already in the hands of the three major factions in South Korea, and he knew that Wu Gongling had to obey, plus his threat.
First of all, he maintained the situation of alliance on the whole, so as to stabilize the Song State and try to stabilize the Song State, and at the same time, it was necessary to stabilize Jin Jue's strategy to prevent Jin Jue from aiming his main attack on Yan State, and he was also creating trouble for Wu Gongling.
If he directly wiped out half of Luo Zhao's men and horses according to the original plan, it would be too easy for Wu Gongling to clean up the remaining half, and now that more than two million people and horses are weak, Wu Gongling will not be able to wipe them all out.
He not only wanted to reduce the strength of the Song State, but also to preserve a certain strength of the Song State to deal with the enemy, and also left Wu Gongling in the territory of the Song State as a disaster to deal with the attack of South Korea, the purpose of which was to make South Korea firm in its determination to fight the Song State more easily than the Yan State, and carry out the strategy of leading the troubles to the east to the end.
The so-called alliance with the Song State against South Korea is just a pretense to stabilize all parties, but it is indeed a grand strategy that Meng Shanming must implement, otherwise for the opponent Shang Chaozong, who holds the military power, the right to negotiate will not fall into the hands of the Yan court at all.
But the premise of this alliance anti-South Korean strategy is to ensure the safety of Yan first, South Korea has been in the north of Yan with heavy troops to press the border, and Zhao is eyeing the country, the situation is too dangerous, he must first solve the threat of South Korea's heavy troops, to transfer South Koreans, can only be a decoy Song State as a bait.
This is not the first time Meng Shanming has fought with Jin Jue, he knows Jin Jue's style very well, this person seeks stability, if he can't contain Zhao Guo, Jin Jue will not make an easy move.
Meng Shanming could already predict that Korea must have been secretly colluding with Zhao, and Zhao was imminent to send troops to Yan, so he could only put Wu Gongling into the territory of Song to pit Song, an ally of Song, to defuse the threat to the north of Yan and concentrate on dealing with Zhao.
He will not care about the safety of his allies, and he can't easily let South Korea sit big, but at this time, he can only let Song State suffer losses and delay South Korea, he must fight for Yan State to grasp the strategic initiative, and he can't fall into a critical situation to deal passively.
If it really doesn't work, then it can only be for South Korea to annex Song, at least to buy strategic respite for Yan first, and then come back to deal with the threat of South Korea.
Wu Gongling's actions angered the Song State, and the Song State angrily denounced it for treachery.
Wu Gongling doesn't take it seriously at all, you scold you, I do mine, he has the support of the Korean cultivation forces, he is not afraid at all, and Song Guo has nothing to do with him.
As Song Guo broke the matter, Jin Jue was also angry, he guessed it before, this grandson actually colluded with Meng Shanming behind his back, and also colluded with Song Guo at the same time, two feet actually wanted to step on three boats, did you step on it?
Wu Gongling doesn't need to explain anything, and the reason for the explanation is very simple: You are all using me, and you still don't allow me to protect myself? Look at my performance in the future.
The situation has reached this point, everything with conspiracies has become a conspiracy, everything has fallen into place, and he can only take advantage of the situation, and Jin Jue can only endure Wu Gongling first.
Meng Shanming didn't care about Wu Gongling's betrayal of himself, he couldn't do anything about Wu Gongling now.
In short, Jin Jue's goal has been achieved, Meng Shanming's goal has been achieved, and Wu Gongling has also obtained his own key voice that can influence the situation.
From beginning to end, Jin Jue withstood the pressure and mastered an invincible situation for South Korea, which could be attacked, retreated, defended, and steady, making South Korea invincible. Meng Shanming turned the tide for Yan Guo and stabilized his position for the time being. Wu Gongling first took advantage of the trend, then fell into a desperate situation, and then got out of the crisis again.
The big forces come and go, the small forces survive, the big and small people lead the way, and those in the know are amazed!
