Chapter 1178: The sea of ??grass goes deep into Beifu
Emperor Wanlong was still a little stunned and asked in a daze: "Where is Bantian Mansion?"
"Back to the emperor, Bantian Mansion is south of Jianbei City." Ling Shutong replied quickly.
"South of Jianbei City..." Emperor Wanlong murmured to himself. Suddenly his expression changed again. He looked around at the ministers and shouted in horror, "How can the grass pirates penetrate deep into the hinterland of Beifu!"
The ministers looked at each other speechlessly and were speechless for a long time. Who would have thought that the tribes in Mobei, which are famous for their cavalry, would actually use the tricks of the navy and silently go south by boat. Who was the only one to be afraid of before this battle?
He never thought that the Mengjue would use the Zhejiang River to go south and attack the east and the west. Even the Dagan court did not have warships and naval forces along the Zhejiang River. This time, the Mengjue was really unexpected. Now it is too late to wake up.
Li Luo's heart sank. He had long warned himself that Xiang Liu'er must have a plan. Even Li Luo, the three tribes who had not moved in Caohai, had suspicions. Maybe it was Xiang Liu'er's plan to assassinate Chen Cang. In fact, these three tribes had also
Submission to the Mengjue. Li Luo guessed right here, but Li Luo did not expect that the remaining tribes in Caohai would take advantage of the river to go south. To be fair, Li Luo never thought that the tribes in Caohai would fight on the water, and he never thought that the tribes in Caohai would fight by water.
The heroes who crossed Mobei were able to bring so many ships, more than 200,000 of them, which is not a small number.
The chess move was one move away, and the only plan for now was to find ways to break the siege of the Caohai Allied Forces, and then plan the situation in Liangzhou.
Many ministers in the palace were frightened, but none of them were as pale as Emperor Wanlong in the hall. Years of sensual and sensual affairs had almost exhausted Emperor Wanlong's courage.
"Here, what should we do?" Emperor Wanlong asked in a trembling voice. For a moment, he lost all control and had no idea.
"Your Majesty." Li Luochen shouted.
Emperor Wanlong's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped the last straw, and shouted quickly: "Xuanlou, Beifu..."
"Yeah." Li Luo responded calmly and looked at Emperor Wanlong calmly. Perhaps it was Li Luo's calm look that made Emperor Wanlong feel something. Emperor Wanlong calmed down, coughed lightly, and suppressed his anger.
With fear in his heart, he asked in a deep voice: "My dear friends, do you have any clever plans for the war in Beifu?"
The ministers looked at each other in confusion. There were not many who were proficient in military matters, and those who knew about it also understood that the situation in Jianbeicheng was already in danger. A perfunctory strategy might make the current situation worse, let alone defeat the enemy.
Emperor Wanlong was slightly angry and shouted: "Grand Master, what do you think we should do?"
"To report to your Majesty, I believe that the imperial court should raise its troops to the north as soon as possible to resolve the danger of the Northern Army being attacked from both sides." Di Jie responded in a deep voice.
"What's the solution? Where will the soldiers come from?"
"This..." Di Jie glanced at Li Luo and responded in a deep voice, "This needs long-term consideration."
"Think of it in the long term!? If you think of it in the long term, my brother, the Prince of Dagan, will be trapped and die in Jianbei City." Emperor Wanlong was displeased and scolded him, then looked at Tai Fu Ling Shutong and shouted, "
Master, please tell me."
"Wei Chen thinks that the Grand Master's words are reasonable. The Dingbei Army is surrounded by enemies from both sides and is in danger. The imperial court should immediately send troops to the north. If the Caohai enemy troops heading south can be contained, it will give the Dagan soldiers in Jianbei City a chance to breathe.
, maybe we can also put the invading Caohai enemy forces at a disadvantage and defeat them in one fell swoop.”
The ministers responded one after another and urged Emperor Wanlong to immediately send troops to relieve the siege, but only a few people did not say anything. The battle in Beifu cannot be determined based on only an urgent report. The strength of the Caohai Allied Forces outside Jianbei City is still unclear.
According to the news, a hasty dispatch of troops may not achieve miraculous results, and it may play into Prime Minister Liu'er's wish.
Emperor Wanlong's expression softened slightly and he began to think. Seeing that Li Luo was silent, he raised his voice and asked, "Xuanlou, what do you think?"
Li Luo pondered for a moment, and then responded in a deep voice: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is urgent to send troops to Beifu, but the method of sending troops must be carefully considered."
"Oh, please tell me and listen."
"The soldiers of Caohai relied on crossing the Yangtze River to move south. The defenders of Bantian Prefecture were out of strength and could not be used. The situation of Jianbei City being attacked from both sides and from both sides was difficult to change. Your Excellencies stated that troops should be dispatched as soon as possible to relieve the siege, but this urgent report was issued a few days ago.
, even if there is a message sent by flying birds, we will immediately lead the army to the north, and it will be many days before we reach Yeliang Prefecture, and now it will not help to hastily send troops to the north. "
"But, Your Majesty, rescuing people is like putting out fire. We can't afford to delay. What if the Taibao Lord is waiting for the imperial court to send troops to rescue the siege?" Several ministers said worriedly.
Li Luo replied harmoniously: "It's not that we won't save him, but that we need to plan the rescue method before taking action."
"Xuanlou, I'm afraid that Prince Chun won't be able to hold on for long."
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Jianbei City is a large city in Yeliang Prefecture. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. My father has hoarded a lot of food and grass in Jianbei City. If we just defend it, if nothing unexpected happens, within half a year the Caohai tribes will want to
It is difficult to capture Jianbei City. There are more than 200,000 soldiers of the Dingbei Army inside and outside Jianbei City. Although it is only half the number of the Caohai Allied Forces, siege is the best strategy in the art of war. If you attack a city by force, you must have more troops than the opponent.
It takes several times to have a chance of victory. So the tribes in Caohai have no advantage in military strength. As long as we hold Jianbei City and cut off the coalition forces of the six tribes in Caohai, the chance of victory will be on my side in Dagan."
As soon as Li Luo said this, the ministers talked about it. From time to time, some people nodded in agreement. After Li Luo said this, the Luo Yun Tribunal's surprise attack to the south did not seem so frightening. Instead, it became an opportunity for Da Gan. However,
Those who know soldiers like Di Jie naturally know that it is not as simple as what Li Luo said. The tribes in Caohai have the upper hand and can fight or retreat. They do not have to be entangled with Prince Chun in Jianbei City. Bantian Mansion and Zhe
The river is only separated by a mountain. Across the Zhejiang River is Yanchen Prefecture. Almost the entire Beifu is under the prying eyes of the Caohai Cavalry, and no one is missed. As for Yeliang Prefecture or Jianbei City, it may not be that important.
Li Luo naturally knew the flaw in these words, but at the moment, he could not let the important officials in the court lose their courage and focus on attacking people's hearts. Li Luo was still hesitant when he saw Emperor Wanlong, but he treated Prince Chun Li Chengye with utmost benevolence, which quite impressed Li Luo.
"Your Majesty, there is actually one more thing that we must guard against."
"One more thing?" Emperor Wanlong swallowed his saliva and asked, "What's the matter?"
"If the invading enemy from Caohai fails to enter Yeliang Prefecture and takes a boat south to Zhezhen and crosses the Kunjiang River, that will be the boundary of Zhuo Prefecture."
There was silence in the palace, and everyone's expressions changed. The boundary of Zhuozhou means that it is not far from Zhuocheng. By then, the shaking bell at the palace gate will ring not only seven times, but eight or nine times.
Emperor Wanlong's face changed greatly. Once Zhuocheng was in danger and the government and the public were in turmoil, how could he dare to insist on sending troops immediately? He hurriedly asked: "Xuanlou, what should we do?"
