Chapter 622 The Thousand Poison Taoist Tang Wudi(1/2)
"Prince."
Bai Qi frowned, bent down and walked into the tent with a somewhat ugly expression.
At this time, in the camp, Zhou Dunyi was discussing something with Zhou Yu and other confidants facing a map of Xikun territory on the table.
At this time, Zhou Yu seemed to be arguing with a veteran in the army named Huang Zhong about something. Even after seeing Bai Qi come in, the two of them had no intention of stopping the quarrel.
"Governor Zhou, I respect you as the governor of the Navy, so I gave you some face. But now, what you said just now, haha, as far as I see, it is simply what a fool can see, and his short-sightedness is simply shocking."
Veteran Huang Zhong snorted coldly and pressed his palm against a city called Yong'an without hesitation.
"Yong'an and Jiangzhou are related to the loss of lips and cold teeth. In addition, the terrain near Yong'an City, if our army wants to walk on Yong'an Road, we will still encounter Jiangzhou in the end. Regardless of whether the defense of Yong'an City is far better than that of Jiangyong Pass, if we want to travel from Yong'an Road, we will have to pay several times the price of Jiangyong Pass. Governor Zhou is just a Jiangyong Pass. It took more than ten years of construction. How can Xikun's city defense in Jiangyong Pass resist our army's footsteps?"
Veteran Huang Zhong continued to express his opinion, and reached out his hand and pointed his finger at Jiang Yongguan on the map.
Jiangyongguan and Yong'an City are one of the two opponents that the Nanli army must face if they want to enter Sichuan this time.
Although Yong'an City is a city, compared with Jiang Yongguan, Xi Kun's arrangement in Yong'an has long made it a veritable border city.
Whether it is the defenders in the city or the construction of the city defense, they have long been armed to their teeth, and for Nanli, it is definitely not a bone that is easy to chew.
And what about Jiang Yongguan?
The pass that blocked the road into Sichuan and built with the mountains and waterfalls was firmly controlled by Xi Kun's hands. This pass is naturally very important in strategic significance.
However, the construction time of this pass was only fifteen years ago.
Moreover, the time when the construction of Jiangyong Pass was officially started was also when Xikun was defeated ten years ago. In order to consolidate its own rule and prevent the invasion of Nanli, the Xikun Dynasty devoted a lot of manpower, energy and even material resources to Jiangyong Pass without any effort. It took two years to truly complete the construction of this pass.
However, since the construction of Jiangyong Pass was completed, this pass has not been used seriously. In addition, because the construction time was not long, this has made the city defense of Jiangyong Pass theoretically a relatively simple level. Moreover, Xi Kun himself has not invested any subsequent assistance in Jiangyong Pass over the years.
Therefore, a large number of Nanli generals represented by veteran Huang Zhong believed that if their army wanted to enter Sichuan this time, they would go to Jiangyong Pass and Jiangzhou City, which was the fastest and most convenient way.
However, at the military meetings in the past few days, Zhou Yu, as the governor of the Navy, was a little reluctant to say this, and Zhou Yu also pointed out the way of Yong'an City on the map in front of everyone.
Because of Zhou Yu's identity, the generals of Nanli also wanted to give him some face. Therefore, when Zhou Yu expressed his opinion at the beginning, the generals did not refute it.
However, as Zhou Yu's remarks became more and more intense, veteran Huang Zhong finally couldn't sit still.
This is simply a talk on paper!
Although the way to enter Yong'an City into Sichuan is indeed much faster than that of Jiangyongguan, the city defense and garrison of Yong'an City are really a difficult bone to chew.
Let them chew on this bone?
Of course, one thing is undeniable that the Nanli army that is now staying here can certainly chew up Yong'an City, but the cost to be spent is not a cost-effective number in the view of veteran Huang Zhong.
The Nanli army gathered here here will invade the hinterland of Xikun in the future. How could it be that it began to make unnecessary sacrifices at the beginning of entering Sichuan?
This is really not a good thing.
"General Huang, of course, Yu thinks what you said makes sense, but what Yu sees is probably an action that surprises the enemy. Please ask General Huang, if you are the saint of black robe at this moment, how would you view our army's next plan? Or
If you are the Black-robed Holy Lord, will you, at this moment, the main force among the generals guarding Jiang Yongguan?"
Zhou Yu shook his head. He has been in charge of the navy for so many years. Although he is still a beginner with insufficient experience in land warfare tactics, in his opinion, his thinking is essentially correct.
There is no doubt that Zhou Yu's words made Huang Zhong frown, but these words definitely would not change his mind.
This Zhou Gongjin is talented, but in terms of war, Huang Zhong did not think that the method Zhou Gongjin came up with was a good one.
"Ha, what can I do if it is like this? Governor Zhou, you must know that the distance between Jiangyong Pass and Yong'an City is less than a hundred miles away. Even if our army is heading to Yong'an, unless it is Governor Zhou, you have a way to win in Yong'an. Well, if you have this method, I will naturally be convinced, but what if there is no? The Xikun army stationed in Jiangyong Pass can reach Yong'an without much time. In this battle, what kind of situation will we be in a difficult situation?"
Huang Zhong's appearance became a little angry at this time. After he said this, he naturally looked at Zhou Gongjin with some disdain.
Fighting Yong'an?
Is this possible?
How could they capture the Xikun defenders in Yong'an City and even those guys? This is simply an impossible task.
Even though they are in this camp now, the Prince Zhou, Nanli, are there, but Zhou Dunyi can boast about saying that he can have a way to fight Yong'an?
It was Huang Zhong's words that made Zhou Yu look embarrassed.
For a moment, he became timid.
Because the words of veteran Huang Zhong just hit the only flaw in his thoughts.
After fighting Yong'an, to be honest, Zhou Yu has not been able to say this until now.
Because he really has no way to fight Yong'an until now.
Yong'an City is really not a good bone. Although their army here has the ability to take it down, can it be captured in one battle?
This is really a bit embarrassing.
However, since Zhou Gongjin has proposed the idea of bringing the army to Yong'an, what he cannot escape is to take down Yong'an City before Xikun reinforcements arrive.
"Governor Zhou, I dare to ask, are you able to fight Yong'an so far? If so, I will kneel down for you in front of many colleagues in this camp and apologize to you for your confrontation and offense."
At this time, veteran Huang Zhong did not intend to rest and give Zhou Yu any chance to make excuses. He just sneered and looked at the other party with a sarcastic look.
This Zhou Gongjin is really young and energetic, and he makes this world too simple.
I have never experienced any storms and waves, but I just dare to say this?
"Stay off."
Suddenly, Zhou Dunyi spoke in the main seat beside him.
"Military, army leader."
Huang Zhong's expression changed, and he frowned again, looking at Zhou Dunyi in confusion.
"The idea proposed by Gongjin is naturally worthy. However, the fact that our army has gone to Jiangyongguan is no longer necessary to change any changes. So, Gongjin, I'm here to help you."
Zhou Dunyi gently patted Zhou Yu's arm with one hand. When Zhou Yu heard this, he was a little sad, but he heard Zhou Dunyi speak again.
"Zhou Yu obeyed the order."
Zhou Yu was stunned, but soon, he bent down and knelt down, clasped his fists, and said in a deep voice.
"Yu is here, please give me instructions."
Zhou Dunyi cleared his throat, looked at Bai Qi first, and then looked at Zhou Yu, and he said softly
"I am now temporarily serving all matters of the army. I specially ordered the former naval commander Zhou Yu to change his way to Yong'an tomorrow to attack Yong'an City. At that time, all matters about Yong'an will be left to Zhou Yu alone. If there is any change in Yong'an, Zhou Yu will definitely be punished severely by military law. Do you know this?"
As soon as Zhou Dunyi said this, all the generals in the camp trembled.
"King, Prince?"
Even Zhou Yu himself heard this,
His pupils were trembling, and he raised his head and looked at Zhou Dunyi in disbelief.
this.
The veteran Huang Zhong was also shocked at this time.
Twenty thousand troops were handed over to Zhou Yu in this way, so that he could lead the army alone to attack Yong'an?
"I only have one requirement for you in this trip to Yong'an."
Immediately afterwards, before the generals in the camp could react, Zhou Dunyi continued to speak here
"The requirement is very simple. I will rush to Yong'an tomorrow. After the adjustment is completed, I will immediately launch an attack on Yong'an. The offensive should be as fierce as possible. I will fight to the death of this commander and not give Xikun's army in Yong'an City any chance to breathe."
Zhou Dunyi chuckled, and what he said also made the eyes of some generals present lit up.
Especially at this time, Bai Qi raised his eyebrows.
He naturally understood why Zhou Dunyi had such a arrangement.
Speak east and attack west?
No, no, this is not an ordinary sound.
The prince’s arrangement at this moment is not just a simple sound of striking.
This arrangement has a deeper level, but his ability is not enough to see through the deeper level.
However, Bai Qi knew that Zhou Dunyi's orders and arrangements were enough to make Xi Kun's defense a little difficult to resist.
The division of 20,000 troops is naturally not a small number. Moreover, if these 20,000 people are used properly, they can naturally pose a significant threat to Yong'an City.
And the one who led the 20,000 troops this time was Zhou Yu, the navy's governor.
Bai Qi knew about Zhou Gongjin's ability. If it weren't for lack of experience, Zhou Gongjin's ability would definitely not be inferior to him. Moreover, Zhou Gongjin was still young at this time.
In addition, the arrangement of these 20,000 people can also be regarded as a smoke bomb they threw to the Black-robed Holy Lord in a sense, and the Black-robed Holy Lord will be in a state where he needs to make a choice.
If Yong'an City is broken, then the Nanli army will follow Yong'an City and go directly to Jiangzhou City. Even at that time, the Nanli army can all have the geographical advantage of Yong'an City, divide the troops into two groups, bypass Jiangzhou City, and point the troops directly to Xikun's hinterland.
This factor, the Black-robed Saint Lord naturally has to worry about.
If the smoke bombs of the 20,000 Nanli army were used as bait, the amount would be enough, and it would be possible to deceive the Black-robed Holy Lord.
The number of defenders in Yong'an City will naturally not be small, but the number will definitely not exceed 20,000.
According to estimates, at most, there are only two armies, which is about 12,000 people.
The rash attack can be disrupted.
