Chapter 824 Pre-war meeting

Today's Dayue Kingdom can only form an alliance with the tribes in Moxi.

After all, the Moxi tribes and the Beifu Army also had a deep hatred.

As long as the people of the Moxi tribes are not stupid, it is impossible to refuse to form an alliance with Dayue Kingdom.

Everyone knows that after Yunzheng destroyed the Dayue Kingdom, it will be the turn of the Moxi tribes.

Anyone with a little foresight can understand the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.

"That's true."

Shen Luoyan suddenly realized it and turned to look at Yun Zheng, "It seems that this battle is not as easy as I thought!"

"How can the battle to destroy the country be so easy, no matter how easy it is? Moreover, Lou Yi is not that kind of rotten fish." Yun Zheng smiled to himself and asked: "Where is the Guifang side? Do you think the Guifang side still dares to do so? Are you involved in this matter?"

Fu Tianyan smiled: "Gui Fang should not dare to interfere, and besides, he doesn't have the strength to interfere."

Guifang was really disabled, and he was compensated with so many things.

If they get mixed up again, the country will really be destroyed!

Now, Guifang has surrendered to Daqian.

The best choice for the ghost side is to let go of the defense line, allowing Beihuan and Mengduo's army to attack Dayue Kingdom from the north of Dayue Kingdom.

"Do you think Guifang will get involved?"

Yun Zheng turned around and asked Shen Luoyan again.

Shen Luoyan thought for a moment, frowned and said: "Logically speaking, the ghost side should not dare to interfere! But if the ghost side is worried that you will completely destroy them after destroying Dayue Kingdom, they may take the risk..."

The human heart is the most difficult thing to describe.

Faced with the threat of national annihilation, anyone may make unexpected decisions.

"Yeah, I think so too."

Yun Zheng nodded and said: "Although the ghost side is weak, we still have to guard against it!"

After pondering for a moment, Yunzheng asked Qu Zhi again: "How is the situation over there with Zulu and Mundo?"

During the period when Yu Shizhong led his troops to station in Fuzhou, Qu Zhi was in charge of matters at the Yanhuishan Camp.

Qu Zhi should know more about the situation on Zulu and Mundo's side than Yu Shizhong.

Qu Zhi immediately replied: "Zulu's army has reduced some of its troops. The current strength has been maintained at 15,000. Mengduo's army has nearly 30,000 troops..."

Zulu’s current territory is actually quite large.

The strength of fifteen thousand troops can be said to be pitifully small.

But there was no way, Zulu really couldn't afford to support an army of 20,000.

Even though Yunzheng handed over the original Quanrong territory to Zulu, the Quanrong area had already been raided by the ghosts and there was no food at all.

Not only that, when Inurong was short of food in winter, Zulu had to take out the food obtained from Guifang and distribute it to some Inurong people.

"Is that so?"

Yunzheng thought for a moment and looked at Yu Shizhong again: "How many troops can the Northwest Protectorate mobilize to participate in the war?"

Yu Shizhong replied: "The general estimates that there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses in Lingzhou at most!"

The Northwest Protectorate originally had 70,000 troops, but Dugu Ce successively recruited another 10,000.

Today, Lingzhou and Xing'an Fort each have 30,000 troops deployed, and Tianqiong Pass still has 5,000 troops.

No matter what happens, Yufeng City must have some troops left behind, right?

In this way, Dugu Ce only had about 10,000 troops at his disposal.

But these 10,000 soldiers and horses are not to be deployed as they wish. They are to provide support at critical moments.

Wherever the pressure is too great, these 10,000 troops will provide support.

"Then thirty thousand!"

Yun Zheng smiled, "We will then draw 10,000 elite troops from Zulu and 20,000 elite troops from Mengduo. In addition to the 20,000 troops and horses from Beihuan and the troops and horses around the Yanhuishan camp, our troops and horses will not not enough!"

After this calculation, they have almost 150,000 troops.

It should be almost enough to mobilize an army of 150,000 to fight a war to destroy the country.

"Your Highness will not mobilize all the forces in Zulu and Mundo's hands?"

Wang Qi asked in surprise.

"Are you stupid?"

Yun Zheng looked at the royal weapon with a smile, "Don't you still know the fighting strength of Zulu and Mondo's men? Let's just mobilize their elite troops! Don't take those stinky fish and shrimps that make up the numbers! Otherwise, It’s just a waste of our food.”

"Your Highness still wants to provide them with food and grass?" Qu Zhi was surprised.

"nonsense!"

Yun Zheng was speechless, "You make people work hard, but you still don't provide them with food and grass? You are fucking worse than me!"

This birdman has been reincarnated for a whole week.

How can it be such a good thing if you want the horse to run and don't let it eat grass?

When Qu Zhi heard this, he immediately smiled sheepishly.

"Your Highness plans to attack Dayue Kingdom in two ways?"

At this time, Yu Shizhong asked again.

"To be precise, it should be all the way!"

Yunzheng smiled: "We will mainly attack from the Lingzhou side of the Northwest Protectorate. The other army will mainly focus on defense. Unless there is a good opportunity, we will take the initiative to attack..."

With that said, Yun Zheng stood up and came to the sand table in the middle.

Compared with before, this sand table has been improved a lot.

Most places in Guifang and various parts of the Northwest Protectorate are clearly marked on the sand table in detail.

As Yunzheng walked towards the sand table, the generals gathered in front of the sand table.

Yun Zheng carefully examined the sand table, and finally set his sights on Lingzhou, northwest of the Northwest Protectorate.

The entire Lingzhou formed the most advanced defense line of the Northwest Protectorate in the northwest.

Lingzhou is barren and not suitable for farming, and most people make a living by grazing.

Although Lingzhou is called a state, its actual area is only as big as two counties.

Currently, Feng Yu and Deng Bao lead 30,000 troops to garrison in Lingzhou to guard against Dayue Kingdom.

The dividing line between Dayue Kingdom and the Northwest Protectorate is a canyon river called the Yudai River.

During the flood season, the Yudai River is often washed away, and various landslides often occur in the soft canyon. This also makes it impossible for the canyon and the Yudai River to become a natural chasm, making it easy for the army to cross.

There are all kinds of pebbles scattered all over the river bed. If you are lucky, you can find fine mutton-fat white jade among them.

Across the Yudai River is the defense line where Dayue Kingdom has hoarded heavy troops.

This line of defense is mainly composed of three cities that rely on each other.

Yiwu, Gulle, Turtle Bei.

The layout of these three cities is basically similar to the three-sided city.

Yi Wu and Gu Le were in the front position, and the turtle's back was slightly behind.

If they attack Turtle Bei, the armies of Yiwu and Gule can quickly reinforce them.

There is no doubt that this city called Turtle Back is their first hard nut in this battle.

Possibly even the biggest bone!

Yun Zheng looked at it for a while and then asked Yu Shizhong: "Do you have a detailed topographic map around Turtle Back City?"

Yu Shizhong shook his head: "We don't have it here, but Feng Yu and his friends should have it over there."

"The general knows something about it."

Fu Tianyan took over the conversation, "The general has asked the surrendered soldiers of Dayue Kingdom in the army. They all said that the terrain around Turtle Back City is difficult and easy to defend but difficult to attack! If it is a frontal attack, it may not be easy to capture Turtle Back City. …”

"We must attack even if it is difficult to attack!"

Yun Zheng's eyes were firm and he sneered: "It's called Turtle Back, let's smash its shell!"

Turtle shell?

Hearing Yun Zheng's words, the generals burst into laughter.

"Yes, smash its shell!"

"Once this turtle shell is broken, this shrunken turtle in Dayue Kingdom will have no choice but to die!"

"We want to see whether their turtle shells are stronger or the weapons in our hands are stronger!"

"..."

For a moment, the generals were gearing up, as if they couldn't wait to smash the turtle's shell.

Yun Zheng laughed for a while, then suddenly raised his hand to stop everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Gao He, Zuo Ren, Huo Gu, follow your orders!"

"The general is here!"

"The three of you are ordered to lead our troops and horses to escort the grain, grass and supplies to Lingzhou first!"

"The last general takes command!"

"Shen Kuan, please send the order carefully and immediately lead 10,000 reserve troops to the Yanhui Mountain Camp!"

"Yes!"

"Yu Shizhong, Qu Zhi, your troops are combined into one, with Yu Shizhong as the chief general and Qu Zhi as the deputy..."

Orders came out from Yunzheng's mouth one after another, and the tense atmosphere of an impending war gradually filled the air...
