The officials sent by Changqin walked slowly in the dimness of the sunset, and came from the high platform on time toward the back of the Tianquan Hall.
He tried to control his steps as much as possible and make himself slower, so that Xiao Shizhu could reach the high platform no earlier than the Qingqiu Fox King.
The ghost official who walked slowly walked for a while before slowly coming to the back of Tianquan Hall.
Before he could climb the steps, he walked to the hall gate and was stopped by Xiao Shizhu's general Jin Li.
"General Jin, please inform the king that it's time to go to the banquet." The ghost official who was stopped gave a bow to the Jinwu with a smile.
Jin Li, who was holding the golden sword, was not compatible and replied to him seriously: "This master, please wait. The lord is discussing important matters with other adults in the palace."
The ghost official who came to invite Xiao Shizhu was not in a hurry. He responded and retreated aside to wait.
In the hall, Xiao Shizhu walked back to his throne and sat down.
He sat on the throne, still with a solemn face, frowning and meditating.
This will be a difficult decision, not only lies in the length of time to persevere, but also in the issue that Jiuyou Kingdom will continue to transport supplies to the defenders at that time.
The two sides will consume each other on this small land of more than 200 miles.
When you come and go, Jiuyou Kingdom can cut off the food route of the coalition forces, and the enemy's coalition forces will naturally be excluded. Jiuyou Kingdom can cut off the food route and material transportation route.
Even if it is air transport, Jiuyou Kingdom needs a large number of flying thunder vehicles and fairy rafts to transport them.
From this point of view, even if the army in the East China is required to prepare for a protracted war, it cannot be defended alone, and it must not be so.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shizhu's tactical thinking went in another direction.
Chunyun also walked back to his seat and sat down. While waiting patiently for Xiao Shizhu's reply, he was also pondering the countermeasures.
The king and the minister are both late at this time, and the dinner is about to be held on the high platform not far away.
There was also a faint sense of tension and depression spreading above this back hall.
"No, we can't rely on these Eighth Route Army to defend the enemy. We mobilized the supplementary troops and reinforcements to King Yan Luo, a large number of flying thunder chariots and fairy rafts, how many days will it take to arrive in the Yingzhou?" After a long time, Xiao Shizhu met with Chun
The cloud suddenly asked.
On the other side, Chunyun, who was thinking about it, suddenly became stunned, then came to his senses, and said ah, thought for a while, and replied: "There are about ten days left. However, you can first give the King of Hell from the southern rear of the Yingzhou to King Yama from the southern rear of the Yangtze River.
If you mobilize 80,000 troops, these 80,000 troops will reach Dushuo Mountain in Dongyingzhou in three days. You will be able to send 80,000 troops to Dongyingzhou in the south."
When Xiao Shizhu heard this, his eyebrows, which had been locked for a while, finally stretched out.
He stood up again, strode to the front of the map, swept the vicinity of Dushuo Mountain again, and finally quickly locked his eyes on the map, northeast of Dushuo Mountain.
In the northeast of Dushuo Mountain, there are many mountains, forests and rivers within a radius of seventy or eighty miles, and they are guarded by dangerous places. It also forms a long and narrow mountain mausoleum area in the north and south.
If the enemy coalition forces march southward in large numbers, this place will be the enemy's left wing in the east, and further north, there will be many hilly areas, with no danger to defend, just connecting the rear of the joint enemy troops advancing southward.
And the hills and plains from this narrow area to the north are just suitable for large army movements, especially elite cavalry, which are simply free to travel.
Jiuyou Kingdom has powerful cavalry, some of which are stationed in the Dushuo Mountain area. They are air-ground cavalry, which can be air-raided and galloped on the ground.
Combining these, a bold plan has sprouted in Xiao Shizhu's mind.
"If we form a powerful cavalry and go north along here..." Xiao Shizhu raised his hand and stroked his fingers along the way on the map, and looked up at Chunyun who had already followed him.
Speaking of: "Follow this route, open up an Eastern battlefield, use the rapid maneuver of the cavalry to detour from here to the rear of the enemy, give them a surprise attack in the rear, disrupting their subordinates. If they retreat, take advantage of their footholds.
If it is unstable, I will retreat along the road after a harassment, and relieve the pressure on the Eighth Route Army in front of our country. I don’t think it’s impossible.”
Xiao Shizhu made a point of view that the millions of enemy coalition forces had already drained most of the troops behind him.
In other words, the enemy must be empty behind. He is going to take advantage of this loophole.
"This is not a bad idea, but we must ensure that this surprise attack force is not robbed by other ghost countries..." Chunyun nodded for a moment of contemplation and set his eyes on the map, the central area of Dongyingzhou.
This place is not the territory of Jiuyou Kingdom or the territory of Qingqiu Fox King. It belongs to the three little ghost countries in that place, and two of them are also stationed in Eleven abandoned by the Northern Yin Dynasty.
Twenty thousand Fengdu Army.
Although the combat power is not very large, the number is not small.
These troops must be sent together to give Jiuyou Kingdom another robbery and take advantage of the situation. The Jiuyou Kingdom army in Dongyingzhou will face a disaster that will be caught off guard, and will definitely suffer heavy casualties.
"We have to act in advance." Chunyun pondered for a while and then said: "In addition to facing other borders of Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, the army that had been preparing for several months must be on the border within two or three days.
The foreign enemy launched an attack."
"That's what I think." Xiao Shizhu smiled, turned around and walked back to the throne and sat down again, and said in a gentle tone: "Since this coalition has disrupted our plans and subordinates, we should not follow us.
You are kind to the other enemies except Qingqiu Fox Kingdom. Anyway, the enemy camps and enemy defenses in these places have long been marked on the maps of the commanders on the front line of the Dongyingzhou, but it is nothing more than just after the Yitian Mountain is captured.
The original plan to start another war is just the plan. Only in this way can the deadlock be broken and the enemy's millions of coalition forces are just fighting alone."
Chunyun also returned to her seat and sat down, thinking again.
Although time is tight, she is unwilling to be hasty and must think carefully.
Otherwise, Chunyun would not have had to come here to meet Xiao Shizhu and discuss these matters.
After pondering for a while, Chunyun also felt that this plan was indeed feasible. Furthermore, war must be constantly adapted. We cannot be rigid and do not know how to adapt.
Since such a slight change, the battle situation in Dongyingzhou will not cause the Jiuyou Army to be passive and disadvantageous, so why not do it?
Chunyun thought of this and nodded heavily and said, "This is indeed a strategy and method; and it can make our cavalry safe and sound, and attack the enemy's rear in an unremitting manner, killing two birds with one stone. As long as the cavalry can bring these million coalition forces,
The rear was in a state of uproar and the way out was cut off."
"Issued an order for the combat plan in the Dushuo Mountain area to follow the Eight Routes Ghost Army to seize Dushuo Mountain, and the capture of Dushuo Mountain has been defended by eight major areas in the region. King Yan Luo sent cavalry to traverse and harass the rear of the enemy's territory." Xiao Shizhu no longer hesitated and asked Chunyun
Speaking of: "The army in other regions will also launch an attack within three days. After that, the generals from all over the country can change and formulate plans according to the actual situation of the battlefield. I only have one requirement, and I will slowly plan it. Don't be anxious to achieve success and do a good job of fighting.
Preparation for protracted war. You must eat all enemies step by step. If you can eat one enemy, eat one. Don’t rush to attack and try to destroy all enemies in a short time. The purpose remains unchanged, and it will still weaken the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom
The strength of allies is better to make these enemies become our own people.”
"Yes." Chunyun responded immediately, stood up, bowed and was about to leave.
"Send it out quickly, send it out immediately, don't delay it." Xiao Shizhu was in a much better mood and felt a sense of pressure disappeared. He reminded Chunyun: "Come and have a meal after sending it. Today is a big banquet, it's delicious.
There are so many."
Xiao Shizhu finally remembered that there was still a banquet today.
Chunyun Jing reminded him, and remembered that this incident was coming, so he quickly responded and walked out of the hall.
You can go to the banquet later, but this military order must be issued as soon as possible and cannot be delayed, otherwise it will change later.
Chunyun did not dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly issued military orders to generals from all over the Yingzhou according to Xiao Shizhu's request.
As soon as Chunyun left, the official sent by Changqin outside the hall strode in.
He came to Xiao Shizhu and stood there. After bowing slightly, he said, "King, Lord Changqin, please let me inform you that it's time to go to the banquet."
The ghost mother put down the long pen in her hand and signaled Qinglan to clean up the memorial. Xiao Shizhu said that she knew, raised her hands, stretched her waist deeply, and stood up.
"You go first, we will pack up and go." Xiao Shizhu put down his hands and said to the official: "Tell Changqiu, treat the Qingqiu Fox King."
The official responded, lowered his head slightly and retreated.
"I'm really a little hungry." After waiting for Qinglan and Chenruo to pack the table, Xiao Shizhu looked out the door of the hall in front of him again, and his stomach suddenly rumbling, which made him smile awkwardly.
The ghost mother also got up and took Chen Ruo to the side hall to dress up...
"Qingqiu Fox King." Chang Qin, who was standing in front of the courtyard where Qingqiu Fox King and his group of ghosts was temporarily placed, bowed slightly to Qingqiu Fox King who was coming out.
The carriage was prepared behind Changqin, waiting for the Qingqiu Fox King.
After resting for an afternoon, the Fox King of Qingqiu went out, including Fox Shidou and the personal guards he brought - the four Hu brothers.
At today's night banquet, the Qingqiu Fox King was not able to bring many people into the palace. Apart from these guards who are proficient in magical magic, they can only bring ten foxes with them.
However, the Fox King of Qingqiu was not afraid. He expected that Xiao Shizhu would never attack him.
As a result, most of the accompanying officials and guards stayed in the inn.
"Please ask the King of Qingqiu to climb the carriage." Chang Qin respectfully invited the King of Qingqiu to the carriage.
A few geniuses sat firmly in the carriage, and the coachman drove the car to the palace, carrying the Qingqiu Fox King and the others to the banquet.
"Changqin, what did your lord cook after lunch today?" The Fox King Qingqiu, who was sitting in the car, asked casually.
He wanted to use this to know whether Xiao Shizhu was really starting to be foolish.
"My king went back to the bedroom and went to sleep. Before leaving, he asked me to send someone to tell me to send him a meal this afternoon." Changqin smiled awkwardly and replied naturally: "
I'm afraid I haven't woken up yet."
Finally, Changqin hurriedly apologized to the Fox King Qingqiu and said, "If you see that my lord has not arrived later, you have to wait for a while, please forgive me."
As he said this, Changqin's embarrassing expression increased instead of reducing.
Whether it was the Qingqiu Fox King or the Fox Shidou, they all believed it to be true.
The Fox King of Qingqiu quickly waved his hand and said, "It's not a problem, it's a bit intense compared to the wine I drank at noon."
"No?" Changqin curled her lips and lowered her voice and argued: "After the meal, my lord drank some more wine. He said he was not satisfied with drinking enough, but he didn't drink enough. Fox King, tell me,
Have you drunk enough of this wine?”.
The Fox King of Qingqiu didn't know how to answer this for a moment. After thinking about it, he could only say, "He likes to drink, just drink it. This thing can only make him drunk anyway, and there is nothing bad."
When Changqin heard this, he pretended to ponder and think about it, and then said happily: "Yes, just sleep after being drunk."
"However, I will tell you something while I'm going to the palace for the banquet." Then, Changqin changed his words, continued to lower his voice, and said to the Qingqiu Fox King: "This time, I have learned something from multiple sources,
In the agreement my lord wants to sign with you in a few days, one of the things that I want to buy a large amount of food. If the Fox King of Qingqiu is willing, it is best to say that there is no food reserve in the country."
"Buy grain?" The Fox King of Qingqiu was slightly stunned, his eyes were confused and confused.
The Qingqiu Fox King couldn't make a turn at this time, and I didn't know why Xiao Shizhu was in charge of such a vast Jiuyou Kingdom, so he suddenly wanted to buy food from the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.
Hu Shidou, who was standing by, thought for a moment and knew the tricks. So he lowered his voice and asked: "Is it an excuse for King Jiuyou to use this to weaken our country's strength?"
The sound of beast hooves and wheels outside the car completely covered their voices, making the people outside the car know nothing about them.
However, Changqin was still on the safe side and nodded without saying a word. Then she slowly said: "But it was not what my lord thought about himself, but what Lu Wu thought about."
Changqin and Lu Wu had a secret dispute, and what he said was a bit like saying Lu Wu wouldn't be angry.
"This old man is so nauseous." Immediately afterwards, Changqin turned his head and looked at Hu Shidou, then scolded the innocent Lu Wu, and said, "I'm thinking about making the decision for my lord.
It was a good thing before, but the lord didn’t listen to him all, but now it’s good. The lord is a bit fun and has no time to deal with government affairs. Many things are left to Lu Wu.”
After a pause, Changqin reminded Hu Shidou again and said, "The representative of the talks at that time, the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom is Lord Hu Shidou. You have to be more careful about Lu Wu."
Hu Shidou smiled and stroked his beard, bowed to Changqin, and said politely: "I am here to thank Lord Changqin for your reminder."
Changqin waved her hand and said generously: "Don't be polite. I remember that when I was in your country of fox, you two had great kindness to me. Please rest assured that Changqin is not a person who is grateful and ungrateful.
”.
After saying that, the three ghosts in the car looked at each other and smiled, which was meaningful.
At this time, the convoy stopped and the car was steady. The driver told outside the door: "Sir Changqin, the palace gate has arrived."
"Wait, please wait, I'll go and tell the imperial guards who are watching the palace gate so that this car can enter the palace." Changqin said as she stood up and walked out.
After getting off the car, he strode to the palace gate, showed his sign of entry to the imperial guards who were guarding the door, and said, "Everyone, please take the distinguished guest, Qingqiu King, to the palace for a banquet under the order of the king."
The imperial guards naturally knew about this, but after checking the waist card of Changqin's tester according to the procedure, they said to Changqin: "Sir Changqin, the lord has just passed the order, and let you treat the Fox King Qingqiu well, don't
Neglected."
When Changqin heard this, he immediately understood that these were some secret codes he and Xiao Shizhu had already agreed upon, so he said to the imperial guard: "Okay, then I will bring the Qingqiu Fox King's carriage in."
The imperial guards retreated aside and made a way so that the chariots could enter the palace.
