Yunzhou.

Today, Zhao Ning did not sit at the head of the city, but rested in his mansion in the city.

Now that Borshu has divided his troops and headed south, the opponent's attack on Yunzhou City is mostly just to keep the Yunzhou Army in check, and there will be no too drastic moves.

Besides, even with the Wangji realm practitioners under Borshu's command, they have no chance of defeating Zhao Ning. Even if they try their best, they won't have much impact on the war.

The calmness of the war allowed Zhao Ning to have half a day's leisure.

Of course, the reason why he didn't stay in front of the crowd was to discuss something privately with Wei Wuxian.

Zhao Ning has received the battle report of the fall of Jingxing Pass. He also knew that after Chalahan invaded the Taihang Mountains, he separated several Wangjijings and cooperated with a Wangjijing under Borshu's command to go to Yangliu City to preside over the battle.

The big picture.

There are 60,000 Northern Hu Rui soldiers in Yangliu City. If you occupy the city and defend it, you will have an advantage. Now that Wang Jijing is in charge, it is impossible for Zhao Qiyue to quickly regain the city - unless Song Zhi personally participates in the battle.

The battle situation in Yangliu City will be at a stalemate for the time being. How long it will take the Qi army to conquer the city depends on the combat situation of the army.

Correspondingly, after Chalahan separated the Wangji realm practitioners and went to Yangliu City to help, his offensive against Hedong will also weaken. If nothing unexpected happens, the battle situation in Hedong will also stabilize.

"How did you deal with Yuan Mu really calling for reinforcements? I thought about many possibilities, but I didn't expect that you would let out of Jingxing Pass and let Chalahan cross the Taihang Mountains and enter the land of Sanjin."

Wei Wuxian and Zhao Ning were feeding the fish at the lake together. While feeding the fish, Wei Wuxian sighed, "But if you think about it carefully, this is both a helpless move and a wise strategy.

"By giving up Jingxing Pass and putting the Hedong Army at a disadvantage, Yuan Muzhen can order Chalahan to dispatch Wangji Realm to support Borshu. This is better than asking Yuan Muzhen to call Meng Ge from Longyou to send people.

"Chalahan only has so many Wangjijing soldiers under his command. We have to deal with the war situation in Hedong. The number of people we can allocate is limited. And Meng Ge has no strong opponents. If we send people here, the number may be large enough to break the balance.

"Furthermore, if Jingxing Pass is not lost and the battle situation does not appear dangerous, our eldest sister will be recalled from Bianliang by His Majesty. If someone else who cannot lead the overall situation is replaced, the situation in the Central Plains will not be optimistic."

At the end of the sentence, Wei Wuxian threw all the fish food in his hand into the lake, clapped his hands and said, "You can achieve multiple things with one stone, it's really a clever plan."

Zhao Ning rubbed his fingers and sprinkled the fish food bit by bit to the carp with its mouth open. After hearing Wei Wuxian's words, he shook his head slightly: "Jingxing Pass cannot be defended anymore.

"Although my grandfather's injury is not particularly serious, he can only barely exert his combat power at the middle stage of the King's Realm at the moment. Moreover, it cannot last long and cannot withstand too fierce fighting. Once he misses, it will be difficult to even evacuate.

"Jingxing Pass will be lost sooner or later. I am just following the trend, and Jinyang has already been prepared to resist.

"As for the balance you mentioned, it probably won't last for long. The reason why Yuan Muzhen didn't transfer Meng Ge's Wangji Realm to come over is that there is no need to sacrifice the near for the far;

"On the other hand, Yuan Mu really wants Brother Meng to capture Xijing Chang'an as soon as possible, occupy Guanzhong, and then attack the Central Plains from the flank, or send troops to Hanzhong, forming a trend that will sweep the world and completely break our defense system.

"But if there is a stalemate in the war in Hedong and the Central Plains, he has no reason not to let the strong men under Meng Ge come over first.

"For now, the troops of Borshu who have divided their forces and are heading south are attacking fiercely and it is not easy to stop them. Beihu's troops in Hebei and the landlords' armed forces they bribed are about to go to the battlefield, which is enough to break the fragile balance of power."

Wei Wuxian was frightened by the seriousness of the situation that Zhao Ning said, but when he saw that although Zhao Ning's words were serious, he didn't show the slightest hint of worry or urgency, he knew that the other party had a plan in mind and there was still a way to break the situation.

"What are you going to do?" he asked.

Zhao Ning smiled: "Don't ask me, it depends on you."

Wei Wuxian didn’t know why: “What are you looking at me for?”

Zhao Ning said matter-of-factly: "It depends on when you reach the middle stage of the King's Realm."

Wei Wuxian remained silent.

Indeed, if he is in the middle stage of the King's Realm, and Yuan Muzhen is unable to fight now, and Meng Ge has not come to support him, he will be a force that can break the balance of power.

As long as he joins forces with Zhao Ning, he can defeat Bo Shu or Cha Lahan.

By then, all crises will cease to exist.

But is it so easy to achieve in the middle stage of Wangji Realm?

Wei Wuxian smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid it will take a while."

Zhao Ning nodded: "I hope you can achieve your goal before the situation festers. If Brother Meng comes, or Yuan Mu really comes out of seclusion, and you reach the middle stage of the King's Realm, it will be useless."

Wei Wuxian suddenly felt a great responsibility, as if the victory of the country and the survival of the country were entirely in his hands.

This feeling is wonderful, both proud and overwhelming.

He decided to seize all the time to practice after going down.

"Your Majesty is also in the middle stage of Wangji Realm. If he can go to war, not to mention that Yangliu City can be quickly recovered, and he can also stop Borshu's march south..." At this point, Wei Wuxian stopped.

Huatou.

Zhao Ning had an expressionless face: "A gentleman cannot stand under a dangerous wall, and a rich man cannot sit down in the hall, let alone the king of a country?

"His Majesty escaped by luck in the battle with Yuan Mu Zhen. He almost died. I'm afraid he was already frightened. He has never seen Yuan Mu Zhen's injury with his own eyes. How can he dare to go into battle rashly now?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ning's action of feeding suddenly paused.

He was thinking of someone.

Although he hadn't seen this man for many years, he was sure of one thing.

This person must be in the middle stage of Wangji Realm right now!

If we only talk about cultivation talent, this person is comparable to Yuan Mu Zhen!

If this person can fight in front of the army, he will definitely be able to achieve miraculous results.

But will the opponent appear in front of the formation?

Zhao Ning doesn't think so.

The other party will not put themselves in danger.

He even suspected that the other party might be hiding his true realm and always showing off his lower level of cultivation.

Keeping a low profile and keeping a low profile, if you don't move, you will be done, if you move, you will give people a fatal blow. This is this person's usual style.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ning felt a little turbulent.

Daqi is located in Jiuzhou, with 80 million households, outstanding people, and great talents. Even in the era when the country was at its weakest, there were many powerful heroes.

It is a pity that when the world is dark, these heroes either do not get the opportunity to display their ambitions or the possibility to grow and become stronger. In this world controlled by the rich and powerful, they are forced to lose sight of everyone;

Or because of various reasons, they cannot be used by the country, and they do not want to be used by the country.

If Daqi can truly unite the whole country, how can there be any rival in the world?

Is it possible that the dynasty that truly gathers the power of the world is still the dynasty of the last days? Will it still be destroyed by Tianyuan in the previous life?

When Zhao Ning was thinking about this, a practitioner in green clothes came in and saw Zhao Ning meditating, so he handed the document in his hand to Wei Wuxian.

Wei Wuxian read the document, and his expression immediately became complicated. When Zhao Ning looked over to him, he handed the document over: "Your Majesty has asked the concubine to go to Bianliang."

Zhao Ning was stunned.

According to Da Qi's system, among the four first-grade concubines, the imperial concubine ranks first. Zhao Yujie, who was Li Feifei in her early years, was already an imperial concubine before the National War.

"She really arrived on the battlefield?"

Zhao Ning didn't even know what he was feeling. He took the document and glanced at it, his eyes immediately turned playful.

He felt that things suddenly became interesting.

Things in the world are unpredictable, and blessings and misfortunes often come alone. But sometimes, half a pie falls from the sky.

There is often a thin line between fright and surprise.

After the fall of Jingxing Pass, Zhao Qiyue had to stay in Bianliang, but what Zhao Ning didn't expect was that Song Zhi's response strategy would include such a clever move as letting Zhao Yujie go to Bianliang.

This is a mistake.

But precisely because it is a mistake, the beauty of the impermanence of the world is even more apparent.

He couldn't help laughing.

"What's so funny about this news?" Wei Wuxian couldn't understand what Zhao Ning was thinking.

Zhao Ning put away the documents, threw all the fish food in his hand into the lake, patted Wei Wuxian on the shoulder, and said seriously:

"Toad, you really need to improve your level quickly. There is not much time left for you. If you don't work hard, this honor of changing the delicate balance of the national war will probably not fall on your shoulders."

Wei Wuxian: “…”

He wanted to get to the bottom of it, but Zhao Ning had already left the lake, turned around and walked into the yard with his hands behind his back.

"Do you have a way to break the situation?" Wei Wuxian asked.

"There has always been a way to break the situation, but the most critical link has always been missing. Now that this link has been added, all the arrows that are on the string can be fired immediately." Zhao Ning smiled.

He is in a good mood.

Borshu's troops are attacking southward, and the troops gathered by Beihu in Hebei are about to go to the battlefield. Meng Ge may bring Wangji realm practitioners to support the Central Plains battlefield, but Yangliu City cannot be captured quickly.

These situations embody a fatal factor.

time!

What Zhao Ning lacks most is time.

In other words, Da Qi is most short of time.

Originally, either Wei Wuxian was promoted to the middle stage of the King's Realm, or Zhao Ning himself reached the late stage of the King's Realm, in order to have enough power to solve various problems.

Otherwise, even if Zhao Ning has a layout in Hebei, he can only change the local situation and cannot influence the entire war.
