Chapter 557 Picking Half the Fruit

"Governor, can Dai County and Yanmen be defended?" Sun Ming asked Lv Songli.

Hearing this, the other members of the Sun family army also looked at Lv Songli.

Lv Songli and Xue Xu and Qin Heng looked at each other.

Then Lv Songli told him regretfully, "We can't defend both places. In the end, we can only defend Dai County." They had rehearsed this before.

"Even if the Pingzhou army directly takes over the two cities of Yanmen and Dai County, it won't work?"

"Yes."

The Yanmen city gate has suffered severe losses and is almost impossible to defend.

The Xianbei Hulu are best at field battles because they have cavalry.

In contrast, Pingzhou's cavalry camp is still under construction. Especially the horses. Last year, many good horses from the Xianbei were seized and have been breeding since then. In a word, the Pingzhou cavalry camp has not yet become a climate.

Pingzhou does not currently have the strength to confront the Xianbei head-on, so it needs to avoid its edge.

Sun Ming and others were quite surprised to hear Lv Songli so straightforwardly admit that Pingzhou could not defend the two places.

Facing their gazes, Lv Songli was very calm. What she didn't say was that it was still possible to hold the position by force.

But Lv Songli felt that one should eat as much as one's appetite allowed.

Using one's own weaknesses to fight against the enemy's strengths, and using the lives of soldiers in the middle to make up for the gap between the two sides, that was something only a fool would do.

It wasn't that she was cruel and ignored Bingzhou and the people of the Central Plains who went south, but she had to be responsible for the people under her jurisdiction when she was still immature.

Now, north of Bingzhou, the 300,000-strong army of Xianbei Hulu was equivalent to a large flood, and Yanmen and Daijun were their scheduled flood outlets.

If they, Pingzhou, took away all the fruits that Xianbei had worked so hard to win, she was afraid that Xianbei would go crazy.

At that time, Xianbei's anger would definitely be directed towards Pingzhou.

Pingyou and Youzhou originally had six counties bordering Xianbei Hulu. If Yanmen and Daijun were added, the long defense line would be very difficult to defend.

Pingzhou is so small, so let's not let the Xianbei come to Pingzhou.

So, she decided to pick half of the fruit.

Look, how generous they are.

If the generals of the Xianbei royal court knew her idea, they would definitely spit at her. Obviously, they were worried that if they occupied Yanmen and Daijun, the flood would have nowhere to drain. In the end, Pingzhou might face the harm directly, so they left Yanmen for them to drain the flood.

Lu Songli calculated their gains in this battle. They got Daijun and Sun's army. Pingzhou's gains were not small.

The battle line in the East China Sea is still going on. I wonder how much they will gain in the end?

Xue Xu himself is a person who cherishes his life very much. He agrees with Lu Songli's steady approach. Let the Xianbei's anger go to Song Mo.

Besides, the loss of Yanmen and Daijun in Bingzhou was the fault of Song Mo and Xie Zhan. They have to taste the bitter fruit. Why should Pingzhou help them cover it?

Next, Qin Heng, Sun Ming and others used the sand table to deduce the tactical deployment for Yanmen Daijun.

Even if Yanmen could not be saved, they would make the Xianbei Hulu pay a painful price!

Chang'an, the palace

The victory news came, and Song Mo cheered loudly when he learned that King Cheng Song Qian had been executed!

The ministers in the court heard the victory news and realized that the emperor and Xie Zhan had set up such a big game! It was a plan of attacking the west while making a feint to the east!

Everyone was surprised. They didn't expect that the two would join forces?

When Xie Zhan rebelled, their emperor really wanted to eat his blood and eat his flesh. The two of them could actually cooperate secretly?

This was something no one could have imagined.

For a while, the court officials only felt that the emperor was a little unfathomable.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, the traitor was executed, all thanks to the emperor's great fortune, it is really God's blessing to Dali."

The congratulations of the ministers made Song Mo very proud, and only the King of Jin was left.

If everything goes well, the Thirteen States of Dali and the Nine States will all be in his hands. When the universe is unified, Dali only needs to deal with the Xianbei and Pingzhou two enemies.

After a moment of imagination, Song Mo continued to read the memorial.

In the memorial, Xie Zhan said that they had gathered troops, half of which were sent to attack the King of Jin, and the other half were sent to Yanmen and Daijun in Bingzhou to support the Sun family army.

Song Mo thought that the southwest was pacified, and the King of Jin in Donghai had only 50,000 troops, and Xie Zhan would be enough to go to encircle and suppress them with 100,000 troops. The Sun family army in the north should indeed be supported, and he did not want Bingzhou to lose. He now hoped that the Sun family army could hold on a little longer.

After reading the memorial, Song Mo issued an order to confer Xie Zhan as the Grand Commander of the Dali Army, in charge of the world's troops!

Xiao Qun, the former Taiwei who was in charge of the world's troops, was suddenly sidelined.

Xiao Qun's face was very ugly.

The ministers exchanged glances with each other.

Song Mo turned a blind eye.

During Xiao Qun's tenure as the Grand Commandant, the world was torn apart, but he was helpless. He was incompetent.

Since he was incompetent, the position of holding the world's military and horses should naturally be occupied by the capable.

Xie Zhan has the talent to govern the world, and he is the capable one.

During this period, Song Mo truly felt the shortage of top talents.

He and some confidant ministers analyzed that Xie Zhan would not dare to betray him again.

A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. If Xie Zhan betrays again, it will be a problem again and again. He is afraid that his reputation will not be wanted. If his reputation is ruined, who will dare to rely on him?

The most important thing is that he wants to use Xie Zhan to deal with Pingzhou and Xianbei!

Southland

Compared with Song Mo's optimism, Xie Zhan is quite worried at this time. He is now very worried about the Sun family army. He is worried that the Sun family army can't hold on, and he is also worried that Lu Songli will win over the Sun family army.

He pinched his brows. When he had designed to alienate Song Mo and the Sun family army through the hand of King Cheng, he never thought that he would shoot himself in the foot.

The timing of his alienation was right. At that time, he was wholeheartedly fighting for territory. He had not yet realized the gap between him and Lu Songli. He only wanted to weaken the power of the court.

Now he can only try his best to make up for it. After conquering the southwest, General Yang has led 100,000 soldiers to the north to support the Sun family army at his request. I hope it is still in time.
