Chapter 536 Jingxiang Battle(1/2)
After Zhang Yi and Huo Yi heard about Zhao Tong's strategy of dispatching Baima Qiang prince Yang Wanwan and Shenlang Qiang commanders to go north with their troops to attack Baishi, Daxia and other places, they were all unconscious.
He felt a deep sense of admiration.
At first, what they were most worried about was that even if the Qiang people were willing to respond to their side's dispatch of troops, they would each have their own plans for subsequent battles and would not be able to cooperate with their own plans.
But he really didn't expect that his general could easily convince the two men to lead his troops north to cover his own strategy.
This made the two people who already admired Zhao Tong even more deeply.
"Bo Qi, now Baima and Shenlang Qiang have gone north according to the established plan. You can go down now to select an army. After all Fei Yao's troops in Didao have been attracted by the Shenlang Qiang, you will lead them.
Time to act,"
"As long as we can take advantage of the situation to attack and seize Lintao on the border of Longxi County, even if Longsang City cannot be breached, our army's logistics and food routes will be unobstructed and will not be threatened by Cao's army."
Zhao Tong still said with an extremely calm expression at this time.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Ni's expression suddenly became solemn, and he accepted the order with his hands raised.
Immediately afterwards, the guards at the side unconsciously raised their hands and asked: "General, what should we do with the enemy spies captured by our army's sentry post a few days ago who want to go north to convey military information?"
As soon as these words came out, the second general's eyes were involuntarily focused.
Since he was unable to pry open the enemy's mouth that day, Zhao Tong ordered his men to imprison him.
They were curious if their general had any other plans?
"Well, of course I let you go!"
"Let go?"
After saying this, Huo Yi and Zhang Yi had doubts on their faces. They looked at each other, both expressing confusion.
"Of course we have to let them go. These spies are the eyes and ears of our army."
"If they don't return to Didao, how will Fei Yao know that Baima, Shenlang and Erqiang are aiming to attack Baishi, Daxia and other places?"
Zhao Tong smiled softly on his face and responded slowly.
Only then did the second general realize that this was his general’s true intention.
Use enemy spies to find out whether the Qiang people are advancing northward, and then let Fei Yao temporarily have no time to pay attention to the battle situation in the south, and move the battle line to the northern end of Longxi County and Jincheng County adjacent to each other.
In this way, as long as Lintao fails to take precautions, this place will be easily accessible!
After the two of them gradually thought through their intentions,
His already respectful eyes couldn't help but become clearer again.
"General Shengming!"
Generals Zhang and Huo bowed their hands in admiration.
However, Zhang Ni suddenly seemed to be thinking about something, his face changed slightly, and he said with some worry: "But if this is the case, wouldn't it expose the whereabouts of the White Horse Qiang people brought by Yang Wanwan?"
"With that kind of raid on Baishi, wouldn't Daxia's plan come to naught?"
"Ha ha."
Hearing this, Zhao Tongchang smiled and said: "If it fails, it will fail!"
"Baishi, there are almost no Han people in Daxia. It is basically the habitat of various small Qiang and Di tribes. It is a sparsely populated place. Even if it is captured by surprise, it will be meaningless to our army."
"In addition, these two places are sandwiched between Longxi and Jincheng. Even if Yang Wanwan takes them in a surprise attack, he will not be willing to accept these tribes."
"Because of that, the white horse Qiang will face the front of Cao's army. This is what Yang Wanwan does not want!"
At this point, seeing Zhao Tong pause for a moment, Zhang Ni suddenly understood, and then added: "So, Baishi, Daxia is just a way for you, the general, to divert Cao Jun's attention."
"In fact, our army raided Lintao, and the white horse Qiang attracted the enemy's attention."
"That's true!"
Seeing that Zhang Ni had figured it out, Zhao Tong also nodded encouragingly and responded: "The reason why Yang Wanwan agreed so happily to attack Baishi and Daxia was not because of these two places.
Small Qiang and Di tribe.”
"The most important thing is that I promised that he could take the opportunity to attack the Qiang tribe who were dissatisfied along the way."
"Baima and Shaodang have always been feuding, and his ambition is to annex the Shaodang Qiang. It seems that he, who is good at calculating, can win over our army for reinforcements, but he is unwilling to directly confront the Cao family."
"What the general said is true!"
After hearing what Zhao Tong said, Zhang Ni nodded frequently. This is indeed the truth.
Huo Yi on the side seemed to be stunned for a moment, as if he was thinking about something in his mind. After a moment, he suddenly looked serious and said with cupped hands:
"Perhaps the general is thinking about more than that?"
"Oh? Shao Xian, can you tell me about it?"
Zhao Tong saw that his face seemed to be filled with many words, and the joy on his face became stronger, so he asked him to continue,
Shaoxian is the cousin of Huo Yi.
In ancient times, generally speaking, men had to be crowned twenty times to signify their adulthood, and then they were crowned by elders in their relatives or by requesting someone of high moral standing.
However, there are exceptions to everything. If it is necessary to let a descendant take on the responsibility of managing family affairs in advance, a watch can usually be obtained at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

Therefore, before Huo Jun died of illness, he had already named his son Yi "Shaoxian."
After hearing this, Huo Yi was overjoyed and said with some excitement, "The general's move, Yi thinks, has two purposes."
"The main factor is what I just said, which is to use the power of the Qiang people to move north to attract the attention of the main force of Cao's army, and to gain a good opportunity for our army to raid and seize Lintao, an important area in the south."
"Secondly, it may be another plan of the general. He wants to take the opportunity to stir up greater chaos in Liangzhou."
After saying this, Zhao Tong suddenly stared closely at Huo Yi. He didn't know what he was thinking about in his heart, but he gradually showed a trace of appreciation.
"As expected of the Queen of the Generals, it's no wonder that she was able to assume the important task of guarding Nanzhong in the late Jihan period in the original history. This talent for understanding military aircraft is indeed extraordinary!"
Zhao Tong stared at him, thinking to himself.
As he said, provoking chaos in Liangzhou was indeed the deeper intention of Commander Zhao in arranging for the Qiang people to move north.
He didn't expect that Huo Yi would figure it out just by relying on the clues he provided.
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yi found that his general was staring closely at him. On the contrary, he felt faintly uneasy and thought unconsciously: "Did I say something wrong somewhere?"
After a while, Zhao Tong withdrew his gaze. Because he wanted to test his teachings, he did not tell the truth about the plan. Instead, he continued:
"Xian Shao, please tell me your thoughts in detail."
"As you command!"
Seeing that his general's brows seemed to be affirming him, Huo Yi, who was a little flustered, just shook off his uneasiness, quickly changed his expression, and said confidently:
"In Yi's opinion, this time our army can put on a show for the captured enemy spies. It can be seen that there is some news that the Baima Qiang and Shenlang Qiang want to go north to attack Baishi and Daxia."
"Then he pretended to be unlucky as a guard and caused the enemy spies to escape from the camp."
"At that time, enemy spies will definitely follow the Qiang soldiers. After finding out the truth, they will report back to Didao."
"When Fei Yao, the commander-in-chief of Cao's army, learns of this situation, he will definitely send someone to spread the news and burn the Qiang people's territory when facing the Qiang territory where the Baima Qiang is walking."
"If King Shaodang Qiang knew that the Baima Qiang soldiers wanted to invade the Qiang tribe adjacent to his family group, how could he sit idly by and ignore it?"
"At that time, once the Shaodang Qiang are involved in the war, the situation in Liangzhou counties will inevitably be in chaos."
"And the more chaotic the situation is, the more beneficial it is to our army. It is said that we can take advantage of the chaos."
"The royal order passed down to us by the king was to send troops to harass the border areas in protest against Cao Cao's arrogance of the throne. The more chaos there is in Liangzhou, the more serious the repercussions will be in all states in the world!"
"In this way, our army's goals can be successfully accomplished."
After a few words,
At this time, not only Zhao Tong's face was full of admiration.
Even Zhang Yi, who was standing by, couldn't help but smile broadly and admire him.
He then smiled and said, "Haha. What Shaoxian just said should be the deep-seated factors that the general has already thought about, right?"
"Shaoxian, although you are young, your talent in military strategy is extraordinary,"
"Given time, I will definitely be better than Yi!"
"Ha ha."
Huo Yiwen listened to Zhang Yi's praise, with a smile on his face, but he still said humbly: "Brother Bo Qi is too modest."
"Yi, this is also because I have been with the general for a long time and studied frequently."
After analysis by several people,
The strategy planned by Zhao Tong is basically known.
…
This night.
There was thick mist in the night sky, and the moonlight had already been wrapped in layers of clouds.
