Summoning the Mythical Eternal Emperor

Chapter 157 Zhemu
Mengye Qingyou was very quiet, standing by Zhao Yuankai's side all the time.

"Ziyun, tell me, what's going on with the Yanmen Yuan family? Are they in trouble?" Zhao Yuankai asked directly.

Chen Qingzhi looked ashamed and unambiguous, nodded and said:

"Your Majesty, this Yanmen Yuan family is more complicated and difficult than the general expected. The general has indeed encountered a lot of trouble!"

"But now that His Majesty is here, the last general will not be afraid!"

"Ah."

"Yesterday, I received a lot of secret documents from Jin Yiwei, and I also discovered this problem."

"It would be too time-consuming to pass the military situation from Shangjun back to Chang'an and then back again, so I came here directly."

"That Yuan Shichong doesn't seem very simple, tell me about it."

Zhao Yuankai nodded and said.

Chen Qing's affairs were detailed, and he told Zhao Yuankai all the latest information in the past two days.

And the fish-scale formation and the car suspension formation that have been training for the past two days, all of which were also mentioned.

The biggest problem is still the lack of useful information!

The high slopes of the loess are naturally dangerous, Xihe County has fallen again, and the Yuan family of Yanmen has stationed troops outside the Great Wall for decades, and the Han Dynasty knows nothing about their details!
"Thousands of farms? Tens of thousands of slaves in Bingzhou? Ziyun, are you sure the information is correct?" Zhao Yuankai asked in a deep voice.

"Return to Your Majesty, absolutely correct!"

"Today's Yanmen County uses the high loess slope as a natural barrier, and in a hundred years, it has established a completely independent and self-sufficient independent domain outside the Great Wall!"

"In addition, three years ago, Yuan Shichong led the army to penetrate the Beirong Kingdom. The general believed that the entire Yanmen County and Beirong were supported by the Yuan family!"

"Now they have enough food, they can raise heavy soldiers, and they can even raise elite soldiers!"

"The general thought that under the rule of Yanmen County, except for the slaves, the rest are elite soldiers!"

Chen Qingzhi said in a deep voice.

Especially the last sentence, which is extremely bold and amazing!
But, not without reason!

And the so-called elite soldiers are soldiers who specialize in combat. To put it bluntly, they are professional soldiers!
What I do every day is a single military training and preparation!

This is extremely rare in Kyushu Dahan.

Even the Forbidden Army in the former capital was not an elite soldier in the true sense. The Tiandi Erzi Battalion had to farm and work daily, while the Renzi Battalion, the predecessor of the Shenji Battalion, was a group of grooms who planted grass and raised horses.

Only in the hands of Zhao Yuankai, copying the civil and military homes of the Manchu Dynasty, and taking down the land of Jizhou, the granary, can the Tianzi Division become a real elite soldier!
Otherwise, I can't afford it at all!

but!
There are thousands of fields in Yanmen, and tens of thousands of Bingzhou people are enslaved.

In the past hundred years, they have plundered the resources of the counties in the southern region of Bingzhou without any bottom line!
They can raise elite soldiers without any scruples!
And the elite soldiers who have undergone systematic training for many years, their combat power is simply not something that ordinary guards can fight against!

This can be seen from the fact that Yuan Shichong was able to break through the Beirong Kingdom three years ago!

"That is to say, the Yuan family of Yanmen has at least 5 elite soldiers, and Beirong Kingdom is completely under Yuan Shichong's control after changing hands three years ago?" Zhao Yuankai asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, from the current point of view, it is indeed the case!" Chen Qingzhi said.

He originally wanted to report to Zhao Yuankai the independent action of Wu Fei, the No. 20 Seventh Road flag official in Jinyiwei North Town Fusi, but he felt that the success rate was too low, so he chose not to mention it in the end.

"Information says that the Beirong Kingdom has a conservative force of 20, including 25 cavalry. If it is unified under the Yanmen Yuan Clan, then the Yuan Clan can raise at least [-] troops!"

"By the way, have you detected any signs of raising troops in Yanmen County in the past few days?" Zhao Yuankai asked again.

"Returning to Your Majesty, since the Yanmen Yuan family took away the Yuan Zhuo people in Shangjun and captured Xihe County, there has been no movement at all!" Chen Qingzhi replied.

The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, but they stand still?

After Zhao Yuankai pondered for a while, he smiled coldly:
"It seems that this Yuan Shichong is quite ambitious. He is waiting for my troops to gather, and then we will win or lose the battle!"

"What Your Majesty said is very true. Yuan Shichong's military strength is too great. He just wants to win or lose a battle!"

"In addition, the terrain of Bingzhou is extremely complicated. Fifty miles north of Shangjun, it enters the West River Corridor, which is the only main canyon road, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

"And the fifty miles from Shangjun to Xihe Corridor are all flat plains, which are most suitable for large corps to fight!"

"If we start a war here, it will be too bad for us, so the last general thinks that we should disdain all costs to win the Xihe Corridor, so as to weaken Yuan Shichong's advantage of heavy cavalry!"

Chen Qingzhi said in a condensed voice.

While talking, he deduced on the sand table.

but……

Zhao Yuankai shook his head and said:
"No!"

"I'm fighting him right here in Beiyuan, Shangjun, and it's still a direct fight!"

"But Your Majesty, Beiyuan is flat, and the Tianzi Division has too few troops. If you fight head-on, you will be surrounded easily!"

Chen Qingzhi's complexion changed drastically, and he quickly persuaded him.

On the side, Mengye Qingyou and Sun Xinwu also changed their expressions, extremely puzzled.

When Chen Qingzhi reported the military situation, they were all listening. Although the individual soldiers of the Tianzi Division were strong, the disparity in numbers was still too great.

And the best place to fight is in the Xihe Corridor!
Take advantage of the natural terrain to weaken Yuan Shichong's army that focuses on numbers and cavalry!
Zhao Yuan laughed, shook his head, and sighed:
"Ziyun, you know that the Xihe Corridor is the best place to fight for the Tianzi Division, so wouldn't Yuan Shichong know about it? Why did he annex Xihe County in the first place?"

"Today's Xihe County is definitely heavily guarded, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Tianzi Division directly attacks, and the price paid is too high!"

"Another point, when you go out of Shangjun, there is a high slope of loess, and further up is the grassland landform, where you can't even see a tree!"

Tree?
What if you can't see the tree?
Chen Qingzhi couldn't understand, he really didn't understand Zhao Yuankai's holy intention.

And this time.

Qingyou seemed to realize something, her eyes lit up, and she said softly:
"Your Majesty, are you going to make a bed crossbow on the spot?"

"Haha... Aifei is still smart, that's right! I just want to make a bed crossbow on the spot!" Zhao Yuan laughed.

Bed crossbow?
Both Chen Qingzhi and Sun Xinwu were confused and could not understand clearly.

And Zhao Yuan waved his hand and shouted:

"Come on, pass on Huang Xuanhe!"

Soon.

Huang Xuanhe, the servant of the Ministry of Military Industry, entered the camp and kowtowed:

"Wei Chen meets His Majesty."

"Exemption."

"Huang Aiqing, along the way, have you found anything?"

Zhao Yuan asked with a smile.

Huang Xuanhe seemed to have read Zhao Yuankai's thoughts, his eyes brightened, and he replied:

"Return to Your Majesty, I have made a big discovery!"

"On the way here, I saw a forest of Zhe woods in the east of Shangjun, and not far away, there are stretches of bamboo forests!"

"Your Majesty, that Zhe wood forest is so huge that it is impossible for Zhongzhou to see it!"
