The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

Chapter 432 Nangong Shouyi's Experience

Huyan Liancheng could only stand aside and remain silent.

Ever since this great general of his had been cheated by Gu Jingzhi, every time he heard Gu Jingzhi's name, he felt like there was a thorn in his heart.

Even though he seems calm now, he is probably thinking about how to deal with Gu Jingzhi.

He thought about it and decided to persuade her.

"General, although Gu Jingzhi is just a scholar, the two lieutenants under him are not bad. Qiao Zhen is even a founding hero of Daxia. His military achievements are all made in iron. Don't underestimate him!"

"As for our other deputy general, Hou Yong, although he doesn't have any particularly impressive achievements, he's good at defense. We..."

"Humph!"

Before Huyan Liancheng could finish his words, Nangong Shouyi said disdainfully, "Qiao Zhen is indeed a good fighter, but that's only when the two armies are facing each other. As for Hou Yong..."

"If Daxia's goal isn't to drive us away, then he can just defend Beichuan Prefecture. My first phase of strategy is to completely annihilate Daxia's border troops."

"Without these hundreds of thousands of elite border troops, Daxia will surely lose!"

Huyan Liancheng: "..."

I still can’t persuade you about your feelings!

……

Gu Jingzhi's side.

With an army of 300,000 men dispatched, there were many complicated things to do along the way. In addition to traveling every day, he also had to spend some time learning leadership skills from Qiao Zhen!

After all, reading military books and marching and fighting are two completely different things.

Fortunately, he has good talent. Although it has only been a short time, at least he has learned a lot in theory. In addition, when he encountered actual situations along the way, Qiao Zhen taught him without reservation, so he is not just talking about it.

Otherwise, isn't it true that military books and real generals are completely different?

At least along the way, Qiao Zhen gave Gu Jingzhi a good lesson based on the different terrains.

The journey was boring and fulfilling, and Gu Jingzhi lost his temper. He hurried all the way and finally arrived at Beichuan Prefecture within a month, the place where Li Sheng once stationed troops.

The current commander of Beichuan Prefecture is Gu Jingzhi's cousin, Lin Chong.

Gu Jingzhi's other cousin Lin Feng is still with Li Sheng and was blocked by Nangong Shouyi in Yunzhou City.

When he saw Lin Chong again, his cousin had become a very mature general.

When the two brothers met in front of the battle line and saw the "Gu" flag fluttering in the wind, Lin Chong also felt a little dazed.

"I, General Lin Chong, pay my respects to the Marshal! And to the two Vice Marshals!"

Lin Chong strictly followed the military rules and saluted Gu Jingzhi and others.

Gu Jingzhi was not polite and said, "General Lao Lin is here to take care of it. Is everything ready?"

"General Gu, the army camp has been selected and the general's tent has been set up. The soldiers can set up camp as soon as they arrive!"

"it is good!"

Gu Jingzhi said, "The military situation is urgent, so let's not engage in idle chatter. After we settle down, I will go to the tent to discuss matters. You all should get ready!"

Although there was constant intelligence coming in along the way and he was already well aware of the war in the north, he still had to discuss how to use the troops next!

……

It was not until the evening that hundreds of thousands of troops were finally settled. After dinner, the sound of war drums rang out outside the general's tent.

This is what Gu Jingzhi wants to discuss in the tent.

A huge sand table has been placed in the middle of the tent, and in the middle of the tent, there is also a flat map.

Gu Jingzhi stood in front of the sand table waiting for the generals.

Soon, all the generals who were famous in the army gathered in the tent.

Gu Jingzhi looked up at everyone and suddenly said, "Lin Chong!"

"Commander!"

"Outside Beichuan Prefecture is the territory of Yunzhou. Have you been able to find out more about the situation in Yunzhou during this period?"

"Report to the commander-in-chief! Yunzhou has five roads leading to the outside world. The ones heading west and north lead to the foreign tribes and Beili respectively. The other three are the necessary routes for our Great Xia army to support Yunzhou!"

"Now these three roads are blocked. Beili has 50,000 troops each guarding Yunshan, Jin'an, and Tongji. These three cities are the only way for other prefectures to reach Yunzhou!"

As he spoke, he took a thin bamboo stick and pointed at three locations on the sand table.

"Although these three places are not strategically located, there are over 50,000 troops stationed to the north. Furthermore, the area is narrow, so it would be difficult to deploy more than 200,000 troops. Furthermore, the three cities are not far away, so we can definitely rush to their aid immediately."

Gu Jingzhi said silently: "In other words, Beili has now surrounded Yunzhou like an iron barrel?"

"exactly!"

Lin Chong nodded and said, "Beili also has 100,000 cavalrymen who can quickly rush to any battlefield to provide support."

Gu Jingzhi's scalp felt a little numb.

Normally speaking, this war is not fought like this. Deploying 500,000 troops to just Yunzhou is a completely wealthy battle for Nangong Shouyi.

But he knew Nangong Shouyi's purpose, so the battle would become more and more difficult to fight at this time.

He thought for a moment and asked, "What about Yunzhou? How long can it hold out?"

"I'm afraid it will only take half a month at most!"

Lin Chong said silently, "This is because the army has already started to reduce supplies. If we buy from the public, it will only last a month at most!"

"One month..."

Everyone was silent.

Gu Jingzhi silently looked at the sand table, his eyes fixed on the Yunzhou territory, and whispered, "In other words, within a month, we must force Beili to withdraw its troops, otherwise Yunzhou will be lost, and even the army inside will be completely wiped out?"

The battle situation is simple, not complicated at all.

But the more this happened, the harder it became to fight. Nangong Shouyi was completely in a winning position, suppressing them with his strong military force!

Such opponents are the most difficult to deal with.

A general who uses strange and cunning tactics is actually not scary. What is most scary is the general who can use the overwhelming momentum to overwhelm everything. This is the right way to win in military strategy.

Gu Jingzhi had a headache. He turned his head and looked at the others: "Tell me what you think!"

Seeing Gu Jingzhi throw the ball to them, everyone was silent for a moment.

After a while, a general asked, "General, the situation in Yunzhou is difficult to resolve. Why don't we start from other prefectures, lead the army there, attack Beili's rear, and force them to retreat?"

"Isn't this possible?"

As soon as this plan was put forward, some people objected: "Yunzhou can only hold out for a month at most. If we were to come from other provinces, I'm afraid we would hardly achieve anything in a month!"

Their first goal was to lift the siege of Yunzhou. If it were any other time, this battle would be easy to fight!

It is estimated that Nangong Shouyi saw this point clearly, so he concentrated all his troops in Yunzhou.

However, after listening to the general's words, Gu Jingzhi thought of a solution. He suddenly smiled and said, "That's not a bad idea!"
