This time Yu Wenxiong is completely sure.

He followed the trend and used the strategy of retreating openly and advancing secretly to lure the enemy deeper.

On the surface, the army was mobilized to block Guan Ning's middle army, but in reality it was a false shot. The real purpose was the west army.

No one else will have any doubts.

Because the middle road suffered a huge defeat originally, the normal idea at this time is to immediately deploy troops to stop it.

The Guan Ning side is in great momentum and can move south from Pingzhang Pass, directly threatening Shangjing.

But he just did the opposite.

The Tianxiong Army was indeed mobilized, and it looked huge. In fact, it did not reach half of the total strength, only more than 70,000 people, and the rest of the troops were hidden.

There are also 70,000 Northwest troops, plus 130,000 Tianxiong troops, for a total strength of 200,000!

This is Yu Wenxiong’s confidence!

He wants to completely wipe out Guan Ning's West Route Army!

Just as he was thinking, Shen Xingyun at the side interrupted his thoughts.

"What do you think of the outcome of this civil war?"

There were only two of them in the camp, so they asked this question.

"If the court continues to condone corruption as it is now, I'm afraid the results will not be optimistic."

Yu Wenxiong said angrily: "It's already winter, but winter clothes haven't been issued yet, and the soldiers are hungry and cold. Who will be willing to listen to the imperial court for a long time?"

"There is also the problem of a shortage of troops. Although Guan Ning has not many troops, they are all elite soldiers."

"Don't worry about the shortage of troops. We will have strong support soon."

"What support?"

Yu Wenxiong said disdainfully: "Are they young men captured by various states? To be honest, this will only speed up the fall of the imperial court!"

"Don't tell anyone else this. Your stubborn character will kill you."

Shen Xingyun said: "If I hadn't stopped you during the meeting that day, you would have told His Majesty directly."

"This is my personality."

Yu Wenxiong said angrily: "Military expenses and food are not enough. As long as we just collect some from the treasury of those noble gentlemen, it won't be so difficult...Forget it, there is no point in talking about this."

"You haven't told me yet, what exactly is strong support?"

He knew that Shen Xingyun had an unusual identity and knew many inside stories.

"Your Majesty wants to lead Liang Jun into Dakang."

Shen Xingyun said: "The time is almost here, but we have been in a hurry and didn't know it."

"What?"

Yu Wenxiong sat up directly.

"Is this true?"

"Absolutely true!"

Shen Xingyun said: "Actually, His Majesty has been planning to deal with King Zhenbei for a long time. Before I became an official, no one even knew about me. His Majesty appointed me as a secret envoy to Wei and Liang."

"do what?"

"Talk about armistice and peace treaty."

Yu Wenxiong immediately realized that there was going to be a civil war here, and external stability must be ensured.

"It went well."

“It went very smoothly.”

Shen Xingyun said: "They are eager for a civil war in your country. When talking to Liang Guo, they mentioned the idea of ​​leading Liang soldiers into Kangxi."

"This is not what I want to mention, but it is what His Majesty wants to mention."

He looked at Yu Wenxiong's unkind expression and added another sentence.

"Then King Jin went to talk about this kind of thing. As long as you are willing, Liang Guo is eager to come. Let alone give them a state, they are willing to lose money."

"Ceding a state?"

Yu Wenxiong's eyes widened.

"It should be Yuanzhou."

"Confused!"

"Confused!"

After hearing this, Yu Wenxiong sat on the seat again, beating his chest and feet angrily.

"The reason why this civil war started was that the government forced the people to rebel. The court itself was unreasonable. If Liang Bing was brought in, wouldn't this be inviting a wolf into the house?"

"But at least we can guarantee victory in this war, right?"

Shen Xingyun said calmly: "If the 400,000 troops had not been damaged, perhaps there would be no need to lead Liang soldiers. So General Yuwen, you are the only one who can save Dakang."

"I……"

Yu Wenxiong laughed to himself.

He suddenly felt an unknown feeling in his heart, and the fighting spirit that had been aroused began to fade away.

If I really quell the rebellion, will the outcome be the same as Guan Ning's?

Will Duke Xu's Mansion be the same as Prince Zhenbei's Mansion?

He couldn't help but think of this question.

"Report, the enemy has entered the Zongchang area."

At this moment, a soldier came in to interrupt his thoughts.

"Zongchang area?"

Yu Wenxiong stood up and looked at Juntu. This was considered as entering his encirclement.

"How many troops does the enemy have?"

"About more than 70,000."

"More than seventy thousand?"

Shen Xingyun, who was on the side, said: "This West Route Army has a lot of newly joined Mahayana followers, and there should be some people behind it. Let's not be in a hurry to close the net, wait until they all come in and catch them all!"

"Take it."

Yu Wenxiong said calmly: "Greed is not enough, we have lured the enemy deeper, but there is also the risk of being discovered, so all our previous efforts have been wasted."

"Yu Wenxiong!"

Shen Xingyun stood up.

"Are you soft-hearted?"

Yu Wenxiong didn't say anything. After hearing what Shen Xingyun said just now, he suddenly didn't want to do anything too cruel.

"No, I just want to be more secure."

He said calmly: "Others may not be able to see through our strategy, but Guan Ning may not."

"Delay will lead to change!"

Shen Xingyun stared at Yu Wenxiong closely, trying to figure out something.

Then he said: "What you said makes sense. It is indeed safer to close the net now."

"Then let's get started."

"Let's get started."

Yu Wenxiong’s voice was deep.

He immediately summoned the generals and issued an order...

The northwest is even more desolate than the north, especially after winter, when the cold wind howls and it is even harder to see anyone.

On the desolate land, there is a huge army marching, and the military flags torn by the northwest wind can prove their identity.

There is a huge Guan character on the military flag.

They belong to Guan Ning's West Route Army.

"General, it's so cold and windy, and the march is really difficult. Why don't you find a place to rest temporarily?"

As soon as Lieutenant General Pu Xing opened his mouth, a gust of cold wind rushed in, and he quickly shut up.

"The imperial army's encirclement and suppression campaign finally withdrew. Are they still not moving at this time?"

General Hao Cang asked again: "Where do you think the enemy troops can withdraw?"
To be continued...
