Chapter 592

Gu Qingcheng heard the words in his heart and said, "do you mean there is another plan for Wang Liyong in the south?"

"No plot." Lu que shook his head. "Daqian is the most powerful country in Qingmu. All the countries around Daqian have deployed spies in various names. We have sent back the battle report of the beast tide to the imperial capital. In order to inspire the morale of the people, the imperial court will not hide the result of the battle. What the public can learn is impossible for the spies who are specialized in spying. That is to say, the outcome of the battle of zhennanguan has been put on Li Yongxian's desk. Sister Qingcheng, how do you think he will judge? "

"Obviously, the next step of Daqian will be to use troops against Nanli, thus bringing the whole southern Xinjiang into the territory." At this point, Gu Qingcheng suddenly had an idea in his mind and said, "Lu que, do you think Nanli Wang would have expected the result of the battle of beast tide long ago, so he would not move forward after crossing the Ning'an river. He is there waiting for us, intending to fight with us on the North Bank of Ning'an?"

"It's not impossible, but it's unlikely." Lu que thought for a moment and said, "the original intention of Nanli Wang's army going North must be to recover Ning'an and xuan'an counties in Hebei Province, and then lead his army eastward to Yanling County. Because Tianxing had been used as a strategic buffer with us before, Yanling County had not been developed, and there were not many cities, but it did not mean that Yanling County had no value."

"Not bad." Gu Qingcheng nodded, "Yanling is Danshui to the north, Huangyanjiang to the south, and xuanan and Ningan counties to the northwest and southwest. It is a very important strategic place. If Nanli captured Yanling, whether it was north or south, it would put us at a disadvantage, and 300000 troops would be enough to cause us great trouble in local battlefields. But why didn't nanliwang do that? Is it really because of the nearly 30% tide of animals led away by Ye Zhiqiu? "

"Maybe, maybe not." Lu que shook his head. "But what I believe more is that Li Yong was the first emperor of Ming Dynasty. He must understand that his family, country and the world are different. There must be some reasons for him to think that it is better to wait for us to fight with us in the north of Ning'an than to recover Ning'an and xuan'an and seize Yanling."

"What made him make such a decision?" Gu Qingcheng asked.

"I haven't figured it out yet." There was a glimmer of wisdom in Lu's eyes and he said, "we don't know why nanliwang didn't go north after crossing the river. But we know one thing

"What is it?" Gu Qingcheng asked, and then added, "is it because of the location?"

"It's not just the location, it's the people." Lu que took out the picture of the thirty-six mountains and rivers of Tianxing Nanli from Qiu lie and said, "the battle of Nanjiang broke out at the end of last spring. We have occupied Ning'an and xuan'an for less than a year, and Nanli has ruled there for hundreds of years. Whether it is the ownership of the people or the understanding of the mountains and rivers, Nanli is above us. And what I can rely on, in addition to this map, is nothing more than the investigation of the terrain of Ning'an and xuan'an counties by the Department of foreign affairs in recent months. "

"Do you mean that the purpose of nanliwang's garrison in Ning'an Hebei Province is to occupy the land and the people, so as to compete with the situation of our great drought?" Gu Qingcheng thought for a moment and then asked, "but why doesn't he recover the two counties and rely on the city to compete with us, and have to be in Ningan Hebei?"

"Because of troops and supplies." Lu que spread out the map, pointed to the map and said, "Ningan county and xuanan county were the places where more than 100000 Lei Ying troops were stationed in the south, because xuanan County in the North was only half a mountain away from the garrison of the strong wind army and Huxiao army in Daqian, and Ningan County in the South was the important commercial road in the south, so the cities of these two counties were numerous and complicated, and the intention was to build after the border was lost, We can rely on these cities to resist. If we hadn't been caught off guard by the thunder hawk army because of the two armies of gale and Huxiao, it would be very difficult for us to swallow these two counties in one bite. "

Lu Kuo pointed to the cities on the map and continued, "if Nanli Wang recovers the two counties, he must divide his troops to guard them. Even if the big city has 3000 soldiers and the small city has 1000 soldiers and horses, it will dilute many of Nanli's troops. But if the South cannot recover the two places, when we return to xuan'an county with our troops, it will be us who need to divide our forces to defend, because we have to build a defense line and protect the rear grain road. "

Gu Qingcheng nodded and said, "the other reason is that Ningan River, the garrison of Nanli king, can shorten the supply line of Nanli, so as to lengthen our supply line, right?"

"It's true that war is never a comparison of forces. It's a comprehensive consideration of the advantages of time and place, national strength, military morale, as well as fame and righteousness. If Li Yong takes back Ning'an county and xuan'an county first and moves his army to Yanling, he will face us and the army on the South Bank of Huangyanjiang River, with a chance of winning no more than 40%. But if it's in Ning'an, it's at least a split. I have to say that nanliwang's choice, though seemingly inconceivable, is the most correct and wise choice in terms of the overall situation. "

With these words, Lu Que's eyes flashed. In Lu's heart, the battle of Tianxing is nothing at all. Even if he doesn't make the arrangement, he can destroy Tianxing in the end. The only difference is that the casualties and losses of each army will be different.

The battle of beast tide is not a war between nations or between people. Even if we win in the end, the most fundamental reason is that Xiaobai and Zhuozhuo are the spirit beasts. If Zifeng and Zhuozhuo didn't come out of the mountain, zhennanguan would never have been able to hold on for so long. If Xiaobai didn't use the power of the spirit tripod to set up a Zhou Tian array to trap jinwinged Mirs, His tactics of scaring the herds at all costs, so as to escape to zhennanguan according to his expectation, did not work at all.

So although many generals in the army secretly said that he could be compared with his father Lu Chun, Lu que didn't think so. When Daqian was in the most critical situation, his father led the army to the north to fight against the Qingyang Empire, which was extremely powerful at that time. All the wars he participated in and directed in the past two years were based on Daqian's strong military and national strength.

The so-called accumulation of small potential for the general trend, and ultimately into the victory, with the smallest casualties to achieve the greatest results, all of these in Lu Que's view, but as a commander should do his duty, there is nothing to be proud of. So he needs an opponent, a stronger opponent than Tianxing, so that he can fight with him in the battlefield freely, and Nanli and nanliwang are such opponents.
