Chapter 1447 Attack on Gongbu

At dusk, the man who came to deliver the message to Puwang was taken to Ganci.

Because Yun Zheng had instructed in advance that this person should be blindfolded when he was brought here.

Yun Zheng first had the man imprisoned in the dungeon, and then he instructed Lin Ji: "Go ask the scouts whether they mentioned Puwang's surrender to him on the way back when they were escorting him back?"

"I have already asked."

Lin Ji said bitterly: "When the scouts arrested them, they didn't think it through like Your Highness did. They spoke hastily and told the story..."

"..."

Yun Zheng's face twitched slightly, and suddenly ten thousand alpacas ran through his mind.

It’s a pity that he is still thinking about how to persuade this man to surrender!

Those scouts have told everyone about this, how can he let them go easily now?

If this man pretends to surrender and then sells Puwang out, Puwang's family will be in danger.

Got it!

This saves me a lot of trouble!

There is no need to think about how to persuade this person to surrender.

Seeing Yun Zheng like this, Lin Ji said angrily: "Those bastards have ruined your highness's plan. I will go and take care of those bastards right away!"

Having said that, Lin Ji was about to turn around and deal with the people.

"stop!"

Yun Zheng called out to Lin Ji, "Forget it! Go back and warn those scouts, if you catch any enemy soldiers, don't talk too much! They only have ears and eyes, not mouths!"

Those guys were just scouts.

How could they take so many things into consideration?

Sometimes, there is no need to be too harsh on the people below you.

After all, he hadn't told the scouts not to talk too much.

This time, let’s take it as a lesson!

From now on, those scouts can no longer speak nonsense.

"Yes!"

Lin Ji obeyed the order.

Yun Zheng had originally planned to persuade that man to surrender, but now there was no need to bother.

Forget it, let’s have a good sleep tonight!

Yun Zheng was too lazy to think about it anymore and signaled Lin Ji to leave.

As for that person, lock him up for now!

Let’s see if it’s useful later!

If they are really useless, just kill them!

That's it!

Since you can't play dirty, then try the hard way!

It's not a good idea to stay in Ganci all day.

Anyway, Gongbu City is only about three hundred miles away from Ganci.

There are not many troops in Kampot city now.

Let’s take down Gongbu first and drive this nail into Xiqu’s bones!

Thinking of this, Yun Zheng immediately ordered people to gather all the generals to discuss the matter.

"Dong dong dong..."

As the sound of the gathering drum rang out, all the generals of Ganci came to Yun Zheng's barracks one after another.

When all the generals arrived, Yun Zheng immediately said straight to the point: "I have decided to attack Gongbu! Now, tell me what you think!"

As Yun Zheng finished speaking, all the generals except Puwang and his son became excited.

Gongbu is the capital of the Faqiang King!

As long as they occupied Gongbu, it would be equivalent to directly cutting off the supply line of the army on the eastern border of Xiqu!

Once their goal was achieved, the hundreds of thousands of troops on the eastern defense line of Xiqu would almost be in the hands of Zhao Ji's troops.

And once the more than 100,000 troops on the eastern defense line of Xiqu are completely lost, Qinpu will probably have to seriously consider surrendering.

"Your Highness, wouldn't it be too risky for us to attack Gongbu rashly?"

Puwang asked Yun Zheng with a serious expression.

"What kind of adventure?"

Yun Zheng asked Puwang with a smile.

Puwang hesitated for a moment and said seriously: "We have limited military strength. If we cannot quickly capture Gongbu, Lobu Tenzin's troops will definitely come back to support us, and Qinpu will also send heavy troops to encircle and suppress us."

"If the enemy knew that it was Your Highness who led the army personally, they would definitely want to capture Your Highness at all costs!"

"By then, we will most likely be surrounded by heavy enemy forces..."

While Puwang was expressing his opinions, he was also secretly observing Yun Zheng's expression.

Fortunately, there was no strange expression on Yun Zheng's face, so he dared to continue speaking.

Over the past few days, he, like the generals of Daqian, has gotten used to calling Yun Zheng "Your Highness".

It seems that this will not make him look out of place.

Listening to Puwang's analysis, many people nodded.

There is one thing that Puwang said that really touched everyone’s heart.

Once the enemy finds out that Yun Zheng is leading the troops here personally and that he only has so few troops, they will definitely want to capture Yun Zheng at all costs.

For Xiqu, as long as they catch Yun Zheng, they will win.

Should we disperse our forces to fight against Daqian's several armies at the same time, or should we concentrate our forces to besiege Yun Zheng? I believe even a fool would know what to choose.

"Do you think our armies are vegetarians?"

Qin Qihu was unhappy. "I'm afraid that before they can surround us, our armies will attack at the same time. They can't even take care of themselves. How can they think of surrounding us? They are dreaming!"

"I think we should be more careful."

Xiao Dingwu said solemnly: "Although we have several armies, we cannot underestimate the enemy's determination to capture Your Highness! For Xiqu, the chances of winning a battle with several of our armies at the same time are definitely much smaller than the chances of defeating our troops alone."

Capture the thief first and capture the king!

Although this statement is a bit inappropriate, it is the truth.

If he were Qinpu, he would definitely do everything he could to catch Yun Zheng.

This is Xiqu’s greatest hope.

"Don't worry about that!"

Yun Zheng smiled confidently, "Xiqu doesn't have the ability to catch me! I called you here not to discuss whether we should attack Gongbu, but how to attack Gongbu!"

Hearing Yun Zheng's words, many people looked up at Miaoyin.

Obviously, they hoped that Miaoyin could persuade Yun Zheng.

"Dont look at me!"

Miaoyin shook her head and looked at everyone unhappily: "Since His Highness has already decided on the direction of attack, you should not think about vetoing the direction of attack decided by His Highness! Instead, you should think about how to attack! Even a woman like me understands this principle, but you generals don't understand it?"

After listening to Miaoyin's words, those who had just looked at her lowered their heads and remained silent.

Looking at everyone's performance, Yun Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

Ugh!

This is the difference between the imperial army, the Northern Army and the Guiyi Army!

It is not easy to command these troops since they are not your own.

Of course, he also knew that everyone meant well.

But what he wants is not good intentions, but execution!

"Since Your Highness has made up his mind, then attack Gongbu!"

Xiao Dingwu raised his head and said in a deep voice: "However, I think that even if we want to attack Gongbu, we should send a group of troops to keep an eye on Lobsang Tenzin's troops to prevent the enemy from crossing the upper reaches of the Qi River and heading directly to Ganci to cut off our retreat..."

Xiao Dingwu explained his thoughts in detail.

"I agree with what General Xiao said."

"Your Highness, can we feint an attack on Lobsang Tenzin's troops, and when Gongbu sends troops to support us, we can immediately turn around and attack the reinforcements from Gongbu's direction, and then seize Gongbu in one fell swoop?"

"General Puwang, do you know how many troops are there in Gongbu City right now?"

"From what I know, there should be less than 10,000 troops! However, if they gather together, they should be able to gather 30,000 troops."

"so much?"

"The thirty thousand I mentioned include the slaves of the nobles in Gongbu City. If these slaves go to the battlefield, they will definitely not have armor. If they are in a hurry, I am afraid they can only use farm tools as weapons..."

"Oh, I see! That's not much indeed..."

With Xiao Dingwu taking the lead, this pre-war military meeting finally got back on track...
