Become a feudal king from today

“The Ashur tribes of Nanliang and Beidi are advancing towards Jianguan and Zhonglingguan.��

"Beidi is in Xiaoguan. After passing the customs, Ningjindu Division stationed troops on the front line. The cavalry frequently provoked."

"The troops of Wu State abandoned Su City and retreated to Jiangzhou."

"..."

In just over a month, pieces of intelligence flew towards Yancheng like snowflakes.

Zhao Xu also constantly made strategic adjustments in response to the movements of the powerful clan and Beidi.

"The purpose of withdrawing the powerful troops to Jiangzhou is to lure the enemy deep into the country. They must not fall into the trap. The royal army only needs to leave 30,000 troops in Jinling to defend Jinling. There is no need to garrison the cities such as Su City and Songcheng to prevent accidents. The troops were too scattered and were defeated one by one, and the remaining troops went to Jingzhou. "

"The Qin army focuses on dealing with Jianguan, and the royal army focuses on Zhongling Pass."

"..."

In the study, both Ma Han and Chang Wei were present.

There were changes in Jiangguan and Zhonglingguan, so Zhao Xu called Ma Han to Yancheng.

After transformation, the Qin army was now completely under the command of the palace.

However, the commander-in-chief of the Qin army was still Ma Han, but Ma Han was directly taking orders from Chang Wei and was equivalent to a general under Chang Wei.

His position is second only to that of General Chang Wei.

After Chang Wei's powerful troops in Su City withdrew to Jiangzhou, they took a steamship back to Yancheng to discuss the next action together.

"Yes, Your Highness." After Zhao Xu issued the orders one by one, Ma Han and Chang Wei responded in unison.

Chang Wei's brows had been furrowed since he entered the study, and he said: "Your Highness, the current situation is very dangerous. The powerful army and the Beidi army are cooperating from the north to the south. This is tearing apart our defense line and allowing us to disperse our troops at the border passes. As long as there is a flaw in one of several points, they can take the opportunity to open a hole and destroy Jiangbei. "

At present, the Qin army has deployed 40,000 troops in Xiaoguan, Yongzhou River Beach and the pass line.

There are also 10,000 troops patrolling the coast of Jiujiang.

Only 50,000 troops could be mobilized to deal with Jianguan.

Their royal army is pretty good. In addition to Jinling and the division of troops to defend the Jiujiang coast, they can mobilize 100,000 troops to Zhongling Pass.

And this was under the condition that King Yan asked to guard only Jinling and not Songcheng and Sucheng.

Otherwise, the number of soldiers and horses they can mobilize will be similar to that of the Qin army.

He also agreed with King Yan's decision.

There is no need to occupy Songcheng and Sioux City at the moment.

The powerful army coerced the people and headed west. Defending too many cities would only scatter their forces.

"This move is really sinister, but the Shi clan and the Beidi army stopped moving after they arrived at Jianguan and Zhongling Pass. They seemed to be waiting for something." Ma Han cursed and added at the same time.

"Their purpose is to contain your Qin army, lure the royal army to go south, and then look for opportunities to annihilate the royal army. Therefore, they will not take any action in the west for the time being." Zhao Xu sneered.

After a pause, he continued: "But they will be disappointed. I did not go according to his plan, and I will fight against them. I will force them to fight at Jianguan and Zhongling Pass to steal the chicken." Don't lose the rice."

Ma Han and Chang Wei looked at each other and nodded slowly.

The Japanese have been put in order, but the Western natives continue to stir up trouble.

They had just integrated the powerful clan and Beidi, so they set a trap for them.

If it were another King of Yan who was eager for quick success, I'm afraid that the royal army would really chase them all the way to Jiangzhou, and the enemy would cut off the food route and cut off the retreat, and a great victory would turn into a great defeat.

"Go ahead and capture Jianguan Pass and Zhongling Pass for me. This is called setting fire to Nanliang." Zhao Xu said solemnly.

In response, Chang Wei and Ma Han turned around and left, one going to Qinzhou and the other to Jingzhou.

After the two left, Zhao Xu came outside the study and stood with his hands behind his back.

Strategy must be adjusted at any time according to the situation.

Originally in order to attack the state of Wu, he controlled the grain-producing area in southern Ningzhou.

Now, since Nanliang has become a grain-producing area for the powerful people to survive, the focus of the attack will change.

Next, it is necessary to suspend the movement in the direction of Jinling and seize Yizhou, the last grain-producing area controlled by powerful clans.

And he also had another purpose of doing this, which was to urge a popular uprising as soon as possible.

The people of Dasong are very hardworking and will not easily rebel as long as they are hungry.

At present, the common people are being coerced by powerful clans and running around, but as long as they have food to eat, they dare not disobey the powerful clans.

But once there is a shortage of food, the powerful clan will only give priority to supplying food to the army, and then the people's lives will be miserable.

Faced with the problem of survival, it is inevitable that the trapped people will not escape from the inland, or they will directly rise up.

At that time, people's hearts will completely fall away from him.

The returning people returned to their hometowns to recuperate, which also made it easier for him to control the captured cities and provide supplies for the army.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu nodded slowly.

However, capturing Yizhou is obviously more difficult than capturing Jinling.

Jianguan Pass and Zhongling Pass are actually the easiest. To win these two passes, you still have to face the problem of rugged mountain roads.

However, he is in no hurry.

After taking over Jiangguan and Zhonglingguan, the entire Jiangbei army will be equipped with breech-loading needle-fire rifles one after another.

And the new tactics that emerged with the change of muskets will make the enemy crumble in front of them, without any worries.
