Chapter 269 First Show of Strength

According to the military newspaper, on the third day of the third month, the 16th day of the fall of Jinling City, the Daxia court received news of the fall of Jinling, and then received the battle situation of the loss of the three prefectures in Jiangnan in the day. Emperor Shenwu was very angry and summoned ministers overnight to issue an order to quell the rebellion.

The border army did not move, and the two young men of Ningshan Prefecture came out of the mountain and led the Ning family army to 100,000, from Ningshan Prefecture to Daming Prefecture and to Xuzhou. The Ministry of War sent 100,000 troops, and appointed Gao Qiu, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, as the commander, and led a 100,000 army of the Ministry of War to Xuzhou. If nothing unexpected happened, they could reach Xuzhou in about fifteen days. The troops were united, with a total of 200,000 troops, and they would go south soon.

After reading the news, Fang La was silent for a moment and asked slowly: "Be serious about this?"

Deng Yuanjue bowed and said, "It's true. This matter is well known to everyone in Yingtian Prefecture and Daming Prefecture. Our people have spent a lot of money and have received accurate news. They rushed to send out the letters in a hurry. They arrived in Jinling early this morning. That is, this morning, the army of Ningshan Prefecture set out. Although it was not Ning Que's out of the mountain, he was not a good-for-nothing man. In Chengdu, Ning Bu regretted that her elder brother Ning Yuanwen was full of knowledge and his time was comparable to Ning Que's deduction of military tactics. The second brother Ning Yuanwu used a pear blossom gun, which had all obtained the true teachings of his father. Compared with him, the chances of winning were only 30%. His skill was evident, and it was all three years ago. But for some reason, Ning Que couldn't come out. However, although the time for his two children had not yet been decided, it should not be too far away."

Fang La frowned, but said nothing else.

Ning Que, this man who swept the southwest twenty years ago, has passed twenty years later. When he mentioned his name, he still made many martial arts practitioners excited. He is like a beacon, hanging high in the air, which makes people look up to him.

Twenty years ago, the southwest rebelled, and a Turkic army secretly assisted it. It swept across the southwest for half a year and headed straight for Chengdu.

Ning Que led his troops to quell the rebellion. At that time, only a small fifth-rank general brought five thousand men and fought all the way to the southwest jungle. The Turkic troops launched a sneak attack, with 10,000 people. A total of 25,000 people and the southwest tribes were fighting fiercely for more than a month. Ning Que led 800 cavalry to break through, and then directly broke up the tribe royal court in the jungle, captured the three tribe leaders alive, and brought them back to Chengdu. After a half month journey, it took a month and a half. There were only 36 people from the 800 cavalry to Chengdu.

Five thousand vs. twenty five thousand, and ten thousand Turkic cavalry. In the deep jungle, the right time and place are at a disadvantage, and they can turn defeat into victory. When the army reaches its level, he returns alive with thirty-six cavalry and three leaders. At this point, the eight southwest tribes surrendered, and five dare to cause trouble.

It is said that the leader saw Ning Que's eyes, like a demon in the ear and nose hell. One of them was frightened by Ning Que's eyes and was incontinent and peeed on the spot. No one knew what they had experienced, and no one knew how they did it.

Chengdu Prefecture celebrated seven days, Ning Que was promoted to three levels in a row, and was appointed as the second-rank deputy general. In the next ten years, he guarded the border, defeated the Turks' invasion several times, and was granted the title of marquis and ministers. Until before the Battle of Hei Shui, his mother died of illness and returned home to mourn for three years. Ningshan gradually became Ningshan Prefecture, and the six prefectures were under the jurisdiction of Ningqu. All of this was the great grace of the emperor...

It is said that this is true, but at that time, the rumors of Ning Que being highly respected were already spread in the southwest. The various reasons are unknown. In the battle of Hei Shui, the Daxia Dynasty lost thousands of miles of fertile land in the Hexi Corridor, and the right prime minister Xia Yongkang retired...

When Lu Qinghou saw Fang La being out of the way, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, don't bother with him. It's a matter of time before and after, they are here. Since they are here, let them never come back."

Fang La's thoughts were pulled back by Lu Qinghou, and he pointed to the Dragon Case and said, "So, does the military advisor have a good idea?"

Lu Qinghou said: "I dare not have a good plan. I just thought about it on the road. This matter is not unsolvable. Ning Que is indeed powerful, but that was twenty years ago. Ning Que is already sixty years old now. Could it be like Zhao Zilong? There is no need to Chengdu on the southwest border. What is the situation of guarding there for ten years? Your Majesty must know. Although it is a tiger father but no dog son, there were Zhao Kuo and Ma Su in ancient times. Today, Ning Yuanwen is not necessarily Ning Yuanwu will not follow in the footsteps. This is one of them."

"Secondly, from the war report, this time the army was not only Ningshan Prefecture, but also the 100,000 troops brought by the prefecture of Jingzhao Gao Qiu. The relationship between the Daxia Dynasty and Ningshan Prefecture may not be as good as we imagined. If the unity of the troops is still unknown, one is the emperor of Shenwu, and the other is Ningque's son. Haha, it is not a fist, so it may not be able to hold it tightly."

Deng Yuanjue said, "After that being said, there are 200,000 people after all. When you arrive in Xuzhou on the 15th, Chuzhou will be the first to be hit. Sixing Fangyan can only take Chuzhou in two days. After taking it, should you still go north?"

Lu Qinghou said: "Your Majesty has to decide this matter. In the past few days, many people from the Jianghu have joined my Yongle Dynasty, and each family is also incorporating it. This is a good thing for us. Jinling has become stable. There is Brother Li in the rear. The food and grass should be fine. Huzhou, Hengzhou, Yuanzhou and Jianzhou have a total of eight states, with abundant food and abundant food, and there are also three prefectures in Jiangnan."

"I already know this. Let me think about it. These things must be settled by waiting for the news from Chuzhou and Luzhou. If they are taken within three days, they will stick to Chuzhou. If the war ahead is wrong, the focus should be on Jinling." Fang La said: "You go down and prepare first. This matter will be with Fang Jie and Fang Mao Prophet, so that they can prepare. In addition, Jin Zhi is about to arrive, so you should pay attention. After you arrive, you can take it directly to the palace to avoid any more trouble. If you teach this to Bu Hui, she is still relatively reliable to live there."

"Yes..." Lu Qinghou bowed and said withdrew.

After the two left, Nangong Wanfang walked out of the tent and pressed her slender jade fingers on Fang La's temple: "The Lord is so hardworking, Wan'er will rub it for you."

Fang La didn't say anything, letting Nangong Wan act. After a long time, he asked, "Wan'er, what should you do?"

Nangong Wan smiled and lay down in Fang La's ear: "I dare not say it. If what I said is not right, wouldn't it ruin the great affairs of the Lord?"

"But it's okay to say it, but it's okay to say it." Fang La patted Nangong Wan's hand and smiled: "The authorities are confused and bystanders are clear, and listen to your opinions as a reference. I forgive you for not guilty."

Nangong Wan's eyes turned, and she no longer had the independent aura of the Nangong family. She looked like a little woman, with delicate humans and animals harmless. She turned around and squatted in front of Fang La and said, "Then I can say..."

Fang La smiled and said, "Tell me, there are no one else here. God knows you and I know."

Nangong Wan thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's OK. I think this war is the same as doing business. It changes rapidly. It is possible that an unintentional decision by the other party will cause a big chain reaction. For example, if the rice price outside is high, it will cost more money to buy rice. The money originally used for other purposes must be moved out first. If you don't buy other things, it will affect the seller's business and the income will also decrease. What he wants to buy will also weigh it. It will continue over and over again. It seems that the price of rice has increased, but it will affect all aspects of everyone."

"Huh? It makes sense, keep talking..." Fang La nodded.

Nangong Wan continued: "Although I have never fought a war, I also think that no matter who comes, it depends on their strength. What the military advisor said makes sense, but once the Fang family or the Gao guy solves this problem, the defensive strategy will change again. If there are too many variables, I have to say that, just prepare according to the worst plan and treat it as the Ministry of War or Ningshan Prefecture. If this continues, you will know what to do, whether to attack or defend, whether to advance or retreat, and there will be fewer variables. When fighting, it is nothing more than two possibilities of failure and victory. If you have too many concerns, it will restrict your hands and feet."
