Chapter 647: 3 Strategies

The huge palace of Princess Daijun was empty, with basically no decorations. Zilan came from a noble family and had a profound foundation. However, over the years, in order to support Daijun, he had almost no money left. Whenever Daijun was in trouble, , he would immediately take out some of his old savings and sell them off to support the operation of Daijun. The most recent time was to raise military expenses. Zilan sold off all the valuable things in the mansion. Seeing Bai Yucheng couldn't help but feel a little sad about all this, because the latest sale was completed by Sihai Trading.

Zilan is thin and small. At first glance, he looks like a withered little old man. If it weren't for his deep eyes, which occasionally flashed the majestic aura of someone who has been in power for a long time, it would be difficult for Bai Yucheng to describe this man who is dressed in civilian clothes and has no trace of anything on his body. The little old man wearing the ornament is associated with the famous Zilan.

"Bai Yucheng, who is under the jurisdiction of Zhengdong Mansion, has met Master Zilan." Bai Yucheng gave Zilan a standard Zhengdong Mansion military salute. Zilan was slightly startled. For him, the etiquette of Zhengdong Mansion was really a bit disappointing. Not used to it.

"The high-ranking governor is upright and upright. Zilan doesn't say anything else. He doesn't say thank you for his great kindness. Zilan can only remember this love and friendship in his heart. If Zilan can survive this disaster this time, future generations of the county will be blessed." We must be friends with Zhengdong Mansion and support each other," Zi Lan said with her hands clasped in fists.

Zilan's words naturally have meaning. Gao Yuan is currently fighting Dong Hu Ao in the east and north directions, and the battle in the Hetao is imminent. At this moment, to be honest, Gao Yuan is like a clay Buddha crossing the river and cannot protect himself. Compared to Donghu, Gao Yuan is also weak and fights against Donghu. At this moment, no matter how many troops Gao Yuan has, there is never too much. But when Dai Jun was in trouble, Gao Yuan even tried his best to squeeze out some troops to help Dai Jun fight. How could Zilan not be grateful?

"Your Majesty, your words are serious. The governor of my family has said that since he was young, he has been valued by Lord Zilan and is very helpful. After the Eastern Expedition Army opened its palace and established its teeth, he and Daijun also maintained the brotherhood. This time the brothers The country is in trouble, how can the Zhengdong Mansion just sit back and do nothing, it must do its best to help. This is just the first batch. General Ye Zhen is raising troops. Later, the infantry general will bring a thousand cavalry to help. General Ye Zhen said . We also need to ask Lord Zilan, Yuan You, because it is really difficult for Zhengdong Mansion to recruit more troops."

"That's it. This has made Zilan inexplicably grateful. Everyone knows the power of the Eastern Expeditionary Army. To block ten with one is an understatement. With these men and horses, it is enough to greatly alleviate Daijun's urgency. But General Bai, this cavalry ?”

Knowing what Zilan meant, Bai Yucheng smiled slightly, "Sir, please don't worry, there is not a single Huns among these thousand cavalry."

Zilan took a breath and said, "That's very good. General Ye knows my heart very well. Although the Huns have surrendered to Governor Gao, General Bai also knows that a few years ago, my Daijun really suffered a lot from the Huns. , The people still hate the Huns, and if the Huns come to the rescue, there will inevitably be more trouble. "

"General Ye Zhen also took this issue into consideration, so he selected these thousand Central Plains cavalry to come for reinforcements.

Although their combat effectiveness is slightly weaker than that of the Huns' cavalry, they are enough to deal with the Zhao army. Bai Yucheng said with a smile.

Hearing Bai Yucheng's words, Zilan couldn't help but feel strange in her heart, but in the blink of an eye, she thought that she had become a traitor to Zhao State, and she couldn't help but feel sad.

"Master Zilan, these days, I have seen that there are more and more brave people outside the city. According to General Mo, it is best to select the brave ones among them to stay and train them into the army. The rest, it is best to let them go earlier. Going back and staying here will only waste money and food, and may also delay the farm work in the fields. The gains outweigh the losses. From General Yimo’s point of view, this battle will not be able to produce a result in a short time. Master Zilan still has We need to be prepared for a long-term war of resistance!" Bai Yucheng said.

Zi Lan nodded silently, "Does Jiang Yizheng see it this way too?"

"For Zhao State, this battle is about a quick victory, but for us, the longer it is delayed, the more advantageous it is. As long as the Zhao army cannot capture Daijun in a short period of time, it will be difficult to dismount. Externally The pressure will force them to either negotiate a peace with the adults, or take the risk and choose a decisive battle, which is the most beneficial thing for Daijun. "

"What are the people to blame?"

Bai Yucheng shook his head and said: "For the sake of future generations, even if this generation has to sacrifice some, it is a helpless thing."

Zilan let out a long breath: "General Bai is right. The general's troops are still stationed outside the city. I will order the general's troops to enter the city. It is too cold outside the city."

Bai Yucheng shook his head and said: "Thank you for your kindness, sir, but there is no need to enter the city. After I meet your sir, I will lead my troops into the battlefield. Xiling is not a place for us to fight."

Zi Lan was startled, "Going to the battlefield? But Dai County has not prepared food, grass and weapons for you yet."

"No, my troops have all the necessary supplies. You don't need to pay attention to me, sir. Later, the infantry general will arrive with a thousand cavalry. I'm afraid I will trouble you to supply logistics. You also know that cavalry is really powerful in battle." , but he is also an ancestor who spends money and food. Now you only need to concentrate on guarding Nanzhang, and Zhao Jun will be unable to do anything. "

"Are you going to Nanzhang?"

"No, the places I want to go are the places that have been occupied by the Zhao army, the enemy's rear." Bai Yucheng laughed loudly, "My lord is sitting in Xiling City, smiling at the smoke rising from the rear of the Zhao army. Let's go up They focus on one thing but not the other, and there is smoke in their heads.”

Bai Yucheng saluted Zilan and walked out proudly.

After sending Bai Yucheng away, Zilan welcomed another envoy, Li Si from Qin. However, for Li Si, Zilan no longer felt as casual as before when she faced Bai Yucheng. Instead, she put on formal official uniform and received the Qin envoy in the main hall who came with obvious ill intentions.

"Li Si has met Mr. Zilan!" Li Si, dressed in the official uniform of a Qin official, saluted Zilan meticulously.

"Well, Doctor Li, my time is limited and I can't discuss it in detail with you. Doctor Li had better get straight to the point. Just tell me what the purpose of King Qin Wulie is in sending you here!" Zilan's tone was very cold.

Qin and Zhao have been enemies of each other for decades, and they have been attacking and killing each other endlessly. During Zilan's phase, several wars broke out with the Qin people, including the Hangu Pass battle involving Zhao Mu and the capture of Shannan County a few years ago. Zhan, the relationship between the two parties was indifferent, which was not unexpected by Li Si.

Li Si smiled calmly and said: "King Zhao acted against the will, and my king was extremely angry when he heard about it, so he intended to help Mr. Zilan. Mr. Zilan, you are also well aware of the power of our Qin army. As long as you can get help from our Qin army, It would be easy for Mr. Zilan to fight to Handan and regain the throne that should belong to you. "

When Zilan heard this, she laughed and looked at Li Si up and down, until Li Si was confused: "Mr. Zilan!"

Zilan shook her head and said, "Doctor Li, you are not a qualified lobbyist. Didn't you ask about me, Zilan, before you came here?"

Li Si was startled, "Mr. Zilan, now King Zhao wants to destroy you and then hurry up. Either you die or I die. If we don't have the help of Da Qin, I'm afraid Mr. Zilan will not be able to sustain it for a long time. Please think again, Mr. Zilan." "

"The dispute between me and Zhao Wuji is just a battle between our brothers. I, Zi Lan, know exactly what King Qin Wulie has in mind. I have nothing to say to the Qin State. Go back and tell King Qin Wulie, I have nothing to discuss with him, and he doesn’t want to fish in troubled waters.”

When Li Si heard this, he smiled calmly and said, "Okay, Mr. Zilan's intention is indeed as expected by my king. In fact, what I just said is just one of the strategies. If Mr. Zilan takes it, it will naturally be the best choice." "Shang Daji, if you don't want to take it, I have two options for you to choose from."

"Are there any other three strategies: upper, middle and lower? I would like to hear the details!"

"The central strategy is my army stationed in Hangu. Under the command of General Li Xin, we will attack Hedong County and attack the Hedong camp to contain Jing Rufeng's army. However, to implement this strategy, we must invite Zilan Xianggong sends out a partial division to attack Hedong. With such a two-pronged attack, the Zhao army in the Hedong camp will be defeated. "

"If we take the middle strategy, what does Qin want?"

"Qin doesn't want much. We only want the land of Hedong County and Jing Rufeng's head." Li Si said calmly.

"Don't even think about it!" Zi Lan flatly refused.

Li Si was not disappointed, "Then the only option is to make the next move. To show his sincerity, my king decided to withdraw his troops from Shannan County. Dai County has insufficient troops, and they are not as elite as Zhao's standing army. However, the most effective army under your command is also Feng Fayong." We are stationed in Shannan County under the leadership of General Guan Wangjian. Our king is willing to withdraw the garrison of General Guan Wangjian from Shannan County. In this way, General Feng Fayong can bring the 20,000 tiger warriors back to Daijun. In this battle, there is still hope. beat."

"What does King Qin Wulie want to achieve if he implements this strategy?"

"This is a bad idea. My king doesn't expect anything. He just hopes that after Lord Zilan wins this war, Shannan County will be returned to our Daqin. If Lord Zilan is willing, he can sign a contract with me. Of course , we are also willing to give Mr. Zilan the greatest support in terms of food, weapons and intelligence."

Zilan smiled coldly and stood up, "Go back and tell your king that I will not take any of these three strategies."

When Li Si heard this, he couldn't help being slightly angry, "Mr. Zilan, you have to think clearly. If you don't agree, General Wang Xiao will send troops to Shannan County. At present, the soldiers of Shannan County must be unmotivated. If there is a fight, our army may also be defeated." If you can capture Shannan County, you will not only lose Shannan County, but also 20,000 elite soldiers. Does Mr. Zilan think that he can turn the tide of the war with the mere 2,000 reinforcements from Gaoyuan of the Eastern Expeditionary Army?"

Zi Lan laughed and said, "You have good information. Go back and tell your King Qin that if he wants to fight, then come." (To be continued)
