Chapter 412: Dying Miranda (Part 1)

On March 8th, the Taiwei of Yan State took an oath as a priest in Liaoxi City, announcing to the whole continent to conquer Donghu and take back his homeland.

In the countries on the mainland, some people are happy, some are worried, some are frightened, and some are disdainful.

He Lin, the final destination of the Yan Kingdom this time has fallen into a tense atmosphere. All the Donghu nobles who live here understand that this time, it is not a war of Liyetong, but a war of destroying the country. Donghu won If you win, you will win decades of peace, if you lose, you will perish the country.

The real strength of the two sides actually has its own advantages and disadvantages. Donghu has hundreds of thousands of people who control strings. If it is really at the last moment, the entire family, regardless of gender, can mount a horse and fight. Donghu is poor in financial resources, regardless of the final outcome of this battle. It is inevitable that Donghu's vitality will be severely injured. It can't compare to Yan, a big country in the Central Plains, with a large population. Their infantry is easy to train. They can go to battle in a few months, and they can become an elite in a year or two. Donghu is a man who controls strings, and it takes at least ten years to become an elite. , This is also the reason why Donghu was unable to enter the hinterland of the Central Plains when it was at its strongest decades ago. (Pingnan Literature Network) They can't afford it, not financially, nor humanly. The population of the Donghu Ju clan gathered together is not as large as the population of a large county in Yan State.

What worries the Donghu nobles even more is their king Miranda, the Eagle of the Donghu who seems to never fall. Been sick for a long time. For months, with the exception of a very few close people. Few people have seen him, and the news from the palace is not good. And the battle for the throne between the two princes, Thorpe and Thork, has also reached a fever pitch.

The foreign enemy came with the momentum of thunder. The inside is full of wind and rain, even if you have 100% strength, you can't use it to the fullest. This battle, no matter how you think about it, is more or less ominous.

In Helin City, people are in panic.

In Helin City, the royal court built on a high platform. The tallest palace was still brightly lit, and every time they saw it, the hearts of the Donghu nobles in Gelin City would be slightly at ease. The light at that point was still on, which at least meant that Miranda was still alive.

Miranda hugged her snow fur and leaned against the thick quilt behind her. This Donghu warrior who used to gallop in the past has now become a thin and emaciated little old man. His whole body looks like only the skin and bones. There is no trace of luster on it, and the patches of age spots are so obvious. Since he couldn't get out of bed, he ordered his big bed to be moved to the side of the palace, next to the window, here , he can overlook the Helin City that he spent his whole life building.

"Death before leaving the teacher, it will make the hero burst into tears!" He sighed long, clenched his fists, and beat his almost unconscious lower body heavily. The army, conquered from east to west, quelled civil strife, gathered the chaotic Donghu ethnic groups under the banner, and made them bow their heads in front of him with knives and blood. Taking Liaodong abruptly in his hands gave Donghu a piece of land to recuperate.

Hundreds of thousands of people who control strings, even the Huns have to rely on their noses, build Helin, let Donghu have a spiritual destination, set up Yulin Mansion, communicate and trade with mainland countries, make Donghu become stronger little by little, and become One of the most influential figures on this continent, but now, he is about to leave this land that he has fought for all his life.

Footsteps sounded outside, that was Thorpe's arrival. A slight smile appeared on Miranda's face, and she looked away from the window. Whether Donghu can survive this test depends on this son.

"Father!" Thorpe knelt down in front of the couch, "Are you feeling well?"

"Get up and talk!" Miranda patted the edge of the bed, "Just sit here! Is everything okay in the city?"

"It's not good!" Thorpe didn't hide it. He knew that his father was very shrewd. Even if he was lying on the sickbed, nothing could be hidden from his eyes. It’s inevitable that people’s hearts will fluctuate.”

"What do you think our chances of winning this battle are?" Miranda looked at her most important son.

"Father, it depends on what kind of style of play it is. Now the royal court is divided into two factions, arguing endlessly. One faction hopes to gather the main force to attack the Yan army head-on, and beat them back, while the other faction thinks that it is necessary to shrink its forces. First lengthen the opponent's logistics line, and then slowly map it. (Pingnan Literature Network)”

"What kind of tactics do you prefer?"

"Father, I prefer the latter. The Yan army attacked in three directions. The left wing is Gao Yuan, and the right wing is Zhang Shubao. Both of them are fierce and good at fighting. There are not many troops, but they are the most difficult opponents. The central army is the main force of the Yan army, and the old fox Zhou Yuan is leading the army. Slowly crush them. If we gather our forces to deal with Zhou Yuan, the left and right flanks will definitely be taken advantage of by the enemy; if we want to cut off the left and right wings first, the center will definitely be taken advantage of by them."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Let the enemy go deep first. Father, I think our ideal battlefield is in Helin." Thorpe straightened his thoughts, "Helin is already a thousand and five hundred miles away from Liaoxi County of Yan State. Such a long distance, Zhou Yuan wants to maintain the smooth flow of the grain roads, and he may have to allocate a small half of his 100,000 central route troops to maintain the smooth flow of the grain roads, and it would be great to have 50,000 people who can go into battle."

"What about the left and right wings?"

"The same deal, don't they want to encircle Helin, then as he wishes, we will gather our forces in Helin and fight them here. With continuous attacks on the periphery, the Yan army will have to retreat if they hold on for a few months."

"Your method is considered safe!" Miranda nodded slightly, "It's just that our Donghu clan is proud of attacking. This time, we suddenly switched to defensive operations. I'm afraid the clansmen will find it hard to accept."

"Yes!" Thorpe nodded, "But father, fighting a war, especially this kind of national war, is not only about military strength, but more importantly, financial resources, and this is exactly our weakness. Even if we win every battle, I am afraid that in the end, we will lose nothing."

Miranda smiled slightly, "My thoughts are a little different from yours."

"Father!" Thorpe was startled, but he calmed down again immediately, "I wonder if Father has any tricks?"

"The two wings are resisting, but the middle can be put in!"

"Zhou Yuan is cautious in commanding troops. I'm afraid he won't be fooled by this style of play." Thorpe shook his head.

"No, he will definitely be fooled. Aren't I going to die? Didn't your brother come back quietly, and is now lurking in the Agu camp outside the forest?" Miranda laughed hootingly. stand up.

"Father's blessings are endless, and he will live a long life." Thorpe said in surprise.

"Hey!" Miranda laughed loudly, "Who is immortal? I know my own body, and it won't last long, but I, Miranda, even if I die, I must die for something. Thorpe, Zhou Yuan is well aware that I am going to die, and he is also well aware of the battle for the throne between you brothers, and both of you brothers have their own supporters, so let's give him a message first, that is me Dead, Donghu, has been divided into two factions, their strategic thinking is extremely inconsistent, and they have fallen into a situation where they are fighting separately."

Thorpe's eyes lit up: "The two wings attack quickly, and put their main force in the middle to attack He Lin!"

"That's right, this will give Zhou Yuan an illusion. You controlled He Lin and wanted to lengthen their supply line, while your elder brother counterattacked swiftly on the two wings. If the two wings can defeat Gao Yuan and Zhang Shubao, it would be an accident. Xi, if it cannot be defeated, it will also cause Zhou Yuan to make a wrong judgment, and thus send his troops straight into the palace."

"Our goal has never been his wings, but his main force." Miranda's voice gradually became high-pitched. "Zhou Yuan is very cautious in using his troops, but this man has a great desire for fame and fame. He only wants to destroy my Donghu in order to build his immortal fame. With this kind of intention, he will definitely come."

"Father is right, but brother..." Thorpe said worriedly.

"Don't worry about him anymore. A dead man will not harm our plans." Miranda said coldly. At this moment, a sharp knife flashed in his eyes. Sock was no longer his son. It's just a big harm that can endanger Donghu's survival.

"Father!" Thorpe was shocked.

"You don't need to worry about this matter." Miranda said lightly: "Thorpe, if we defeat Zhou Yuan's main force in the middle, what are you going to do next, drive straight in, turn defense into offense, and break into Yan Kingdom?"

"No, father, after defeating Zhou Yuan's main force, I will make peace with them!" Thorpe desperately suppressed his fear, his father's ruthlessness made him terrified, he didn't know what arrangement his father had made, But the elder brother Suoke is now in the camp of the Agu tribe, dozens of miles away from Helin. The Agu tribe is one of the largest clans of the Donghu tribe, and the patriarch has always supported Suoke.
