Judging from the news brought back from Hong'an, the Eastern Barbarian Chanyu is bound to win Yuguan City this time.
Therefore, if people are sent to support, the number of people supporting must be larger than the previous Northern Expedition.
Because the corpses under Yuguan City have piled up like a mountain now, it will be easier for the enemy to attack the city than before, and it will be more difficult to defend the city.
The study became quiet for a while.
Everyone knows that they need to find people to support Yuguan City as soon as possible, but everyone also knows that this is a big problem.
Jin Feng touched his chin and walked to the front of the map, recalling the distribution of troops in each place in his mind, hoping to squeeze out a few more people.
But after looking around, I could only sigh helplessly.
The manpower in each place is very tight. It is already very good to be able to hold on to the current situation, but there is really no way to spare people.
"How about asking Brother Xinyao to send the Weisheng Army there?" Ninth Princess asked tentatively.
The Weisheng Army was the most elite team under Qing Xinyao. It also made great contributions in the Battle of Damangpo.
Especially the Iron Tiger Camp in the Weisheng Army is very brave.
If Weisheng's army is transferred to Yuguan City, coupled with Jin Feng's weapon superiority, Yuguan City will definitely be able to be defended.
When Xiaoyu heard this, her eyes immediately lit up.
But Jin Feng shook his head and rejected the Ninth Princess's proposal.
"The Weisheng Army wants to guard Xichuan. They can no longer mobilize at will, otherwise Tibet will take advantage of the situation and invade, and the consequences will be too serious."
The reason why Xichuan City was breached before was because Qing Xinyao took away most of Wei Sheng's army, allowing Ga Da to take advantage of the loophole.
At that time, there were only ten people living in Xichuan City, and there were heavy casualties.
Even if Qing Xinyao tried his best to move people from surrounding areas into the city after he returned, Xichuan City is still empty, and he doesn't know how long it will take for it to return to its original bustle.
When the Ninth Princess saw that Jin Feng disagreed, she stopped insisting.
Xiaoyu pursed her lips, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Although she was worried about Liu Tie, she also knew that Jin Feng's decision was correct.
Due to many differences in terrain, appearance, culture, language, etc., it was difficult for Zhongming's team to plant a hidden line in Tubo. Therefore, Jin Feng and Ninth Princess knew that Tubo must be in a state of chaos, but the specific situation was not clear.
What if the Tubo people find out that Jin Feng has transferred Wei Sheng's army away and defeat them?
Although Yuguan City is important, it is an enclave after all. Even if it is lost, it will not have much impact on Sichuan and Shu.
Xichuan City is the west gate of Sichuan and Shu. If Xichuan is lost, the Tibetans can march straight in and enter the Sichuan Basin.
This is fatal to Jin Feng.
Jin Feng also saw Xiaoyu's disappointment. He was also worried about Liu Tie, but he did not dare to be soft-hearted.
Just when he looked away from the map, Jin Feng's eyes suddenly locked on a place and he couldn't help but pat his thigh.
"Husband, have you thought of a countermeasure?" Princess Ninth's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Why did we forget Zheng Chiyuan?"
Jin Feng stretched out his hand and clicked at the mouth of the Yangtze River: "Zheng Chiyuan has hundreds of large and small ships in total, and nearly 10,000 naval soldiers. They are in the East China Sea, so they can definitely go to reinforce Yuguan City!"
"Zheng Chiyuan?" Ninth Princess hesitated: "Will he obey our orders?"
"I think so," Jin Feng said: "When I came back from the East China Sea, Zheng Chiyuan was very enthusiastic. He also said that he did not recognize Chen Zheng, who killed his father and regicide, but only recognized me, the one-word king."
"Husband, you are still too naive. You cannot believe all the words of those ministers." Ninth Princess sneered and said: "When there is no trouble, each one is more talkative than the other. When something really happens, each one is more willing to shirk responsibility.
"
When Princess Ninth spoke, she did not shy away from other people in the study.
Zhang Liang and Xiaoyu were a little better. They had never been officials in the court before, and after joining Jin Feng, they had never done anything to disgrace Jin Feng. They were aboveboard, so they didn't feel anything.
But Tie Shixin is different.
When Chen Ji was in power, he once served as an official in the court and played tricks on Jin Feng. Now when he heard Ninth Princess say this, he felt as if Ninth Princess was pointing at him, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Fortunately, Jin Feng didn't think about this and said seriously: "Zheng Chiyuan shouldn't be in trouble, right?"
In fact, when he first met Zheng Chiyuan, Jin Feng was also wary of him.
However, after several subsequent interactions, Jin Feng felt that Zheng Chiyuan was a good person, and he had always fulfilled his duties and led the navy to guard the East China Sea.
Compared with those dandy generals and old soldiers, Zheng Chiyuan can be called a real general.
"Husband, please don't be confused by superficial phenomena," the Ninth Princess said: "When the Navy was first established, there were countless people in the court vying for the position of Navy General. Zheng Chiyuan won in the end. Do you think it would be easy for him?
What's more, I have been on the throne for so long. If Zheng Chiyuan truly surrenders, why has he never come to see me? Why has he never even written a memorial?"
Jin Feng couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
When returning from the East China Sea, Zheng Chiyuan met Jin Feng on the steamship, and his attitude was very sincere, which made Jin Feng instinctively think that Zheng Chiyuan was on his side.
Now that the Ninth Princess said this, Jin Feng came back to his senses.
Yes, the Ninth Princess has been on the throne for so long. Qing Xinyao and Qing Huai both came in person to declare their allegiance, but Zheng Chiyuan never mentioned his allegiance once.
Jin Feng could understand that the Navy had many things to do and it was difficult for him to handle it. However, Zhenyuan No. 1 passed by the Donghai Navy Camp many times and he did not send any memorials or documents regarding allegiance.
No matter how busy the navy is, there is always time to write a memorial, right?
Did I see the wrong person?
Jin Feng, who was originally full of confidence, couldn't help but become a little doubtful.
"Otherwise, let me write a letter first and send it to Zheng Chiyuan, asking him to declare his allegiance to you and send troops to reinforce Yuguan City as soon as possible."
Jin Feng thought for a moment and said, "If Zheng Chiyuan complies, then everyone will be happy. If he refuses or is perfunctory, at least we know his attitude. What do you think?"
The Ninth Princess thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "That's okay, but we can't just rely on Zheng Chiyuan and the Navy. We still have to make preparations."
"I understand." Jin Feng nodded and walked to the desk.
He picked up the quill and quickly wrote a letter to Zheng Chiyuan.
After the ink dried, Jin Feng picked up his big seal and put it on the signature area.
He put the letter into the envelope himself, and then called for Iron Hammer: "Send someone to the dock immediately, use a speedboat to send this letter to the Donghai Navy Camp as quickly as possible, and deliver it to Zheng Chiyuan!"
"yes!"
Tie Zhui picked up the letter and was about to leave, but was stopped by Ninth Princess.
"Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?" Tie Zhui looked at the Ninth Princess in confusion.
The Ninth Princess respected Jin Feng's decision very much. This was the first time that the Ninth Princess called someone to stop him just after Jin Feng ordered Iron Hammer to do something.
