Chapter 556 Crossing the River to Suppress the Turks
Sanlis is too familiar with the local terrain, and they have no way to deal with Sanlis here.
So they had already asked the imperial court to send over the map of the Turks and some other information about the Turks.
And depending on the situation, it should be arriving soon, so Xun or his side has also made plans.
After these things from the court arrive, they can analyze them with Zhao Feng and formulate their next march plan.
"Your Majesty, as of now, it is unreliable for us to make any interest plans.
Because we don’t know where we are now, and they don’t know what Sanlis’ plans are, so I think the most important thing at the moment is to send cavalry to explore Sanlis.
Si Libian’s movements to prevent him from sneaking up on us before the court delivers what we need.”
Soon Xun Yu also told Zhao Feng his thoughts, because at present, it was impossible for them to attack.
They can only defend passively, but this defense must not be careless, and their defense is not endless.
As long as the imperial court sends them what they need, they can take the initiative. After hearing this, Zhao Feng felt it made sense and finally nodded.
"Yes, looking at it now, it is impossible for us to attack, but there should be no pressure on the defense.
At that time, just let General Xu Chu send spies to investigate the situation in Zhouzhou to prevent Sanlis and others from sneak attacks.
As for the things sent by the imperial court, I already told the imperial court when I sent the letter, asking them to send it over with an eight-hundred-mile speed horse. I believe it is on the way now, and I am afraid I will receive it today."
After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Feng also told Xun You about his information.
Zhao Feng had previously asked the imperial court to send them the information they needed as quickly as possible.
If we count the days, it is estimated that the support from the imperial court will be sent today, so Zhao Feng did not say anything more.
After hearing what Zhao Feng said, Xun Yu felt relieved. After all, as long as the support from the imperial court came, he would be relieved.
They will have the opportunity to deal with Sanlis. Otherwise, it would be very annoying to be chased and beaten by Sanlis all the time.
"But Your Majesty, we still have to be careful. Although Sanlis only has 50,000 troops, his combat power is indeed very strong. I believe that if they really want to make a sneak attack, when we defend here
We must not take it lightly, otherwise we may make the same mistake again.”
After Xun Yu thought for a moment, he reminded Zhao Feng not to be careless.
The strength of the Turkic cavalry is really too strong. If they are not careful, they may be ambushed by Sanlis again, and then it will be the same as before.
In the Chinese army's tent on Zhao Feng's side, Zhao Feng also quickly discussed with Xun Yu.
Based on the current situation between the enemy and ourselves, we have determined a general policy. The most important thing is not to act rashly.
After all, their familiarity with the local geographical environment is too low, so they have to wait until support from the court arrives.
After getting the map of the Turks and determining their location, we can attack.
When Zhao Feng, Xun Yu and the others were chatting in the military tent, a fast horse also came to the army from outside.
Then the cavalryman showed his badge to the soldiers at the door, then took his things and came outside the Chinese army's tent where Zhao Feng and Xun Yu were.
"Your Majesty, the court ordered me to deliver the items your Majesty needs."
When the soldier said this, Zhao Feng inside was also very happy, and then let the soldiers in.
After the soldier came in, he also handed the burden he carried to Xun Yu.
After Xun Yu opened it, he found two things inside, one of which was a Turkic map made of sheepskin.
The other item is a book, which records some specific situations on the Turkic side and some points they need to pay attention to.
"Great, Your Majesty, we finally have a map, and we can finally know where we are now and the situation inside the Turks.
In this way, we won't be like headless flies when we go out to fight again. The information about the Turks recorded in it is also very important to us, and we can make good use of it."
After seeing these two things inside, Xun Yu was still very excited, so he told Zhao Feng immediately.
After hearing what they were talking about, Zhao Feng was as excited as Xun Yu.
"Come here, get the frame and unfold this map for me. Soon Zhao Feng will send someone to open this sheepskin map.
After Zhao Feng and Xun Yu opened the map, they studied it for a while and determined their current location.
"Your Majesty, we should be in this valley now, and there should be a flat land not far from here.
I believe that Senlis will probably be in this position, but the specific situation needs to be investigated later, but it should be about the same."
After Xun You took a look, he also pointed out their current location and told Zhao Feng.
After reading it, Zhao Feng nodded beside him. Finally, Zhao Feng saw the terrain next to him and frowned.
"Master Xun Yu, look, the river not far away here may be very dangerous for us.
After all, we have no hydrological data on this river, and we don’t know the condition and depth of the river beach, and it seems that there is no bridge on it.
It is estimated that we may need to find a shallow place to wade across, but for us, the risk is really high."
After reading what Xun Yu said, Zhao Feng also saw the terrain next to them. After seeing the river near them, Zhao Feng became worried.
After all, there is a river blocking here, so if so many of them want to cross it all.
It will be very dangerous. If you are not careful, you may be ambushed by Sanlis.
Xun Yu and Zhao Feng also determined their general policy. After the imperial court sent over the map of the Turks and some information about the Turks, Zhao Feng and Xun Yu discussed it.
Their positions were redetermined based on the map, and then a thorough analysis of the surrounding terrain was conducted.
The final analysis concluded that it was indeed disadvantageous for them. After all, there was a big river blocking them in front of them.
If they want to cross the river to pursue Senlis, there must be some danger.
Because if Sanlis sets up ambush points on both sides of the river, it will be easy to ambush them, and I am afraid they will suffer heavy losses by then.
