Chapter 433 Attacking the city is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top
In the end, Guo Kai was left alone by the Queen Mother Zhao, and the Queen Mother Zhao knew that Guo Kai must have a reason that he hadn't said, a reason that he couldn't say in front of Chunping Jun Zhao Yi.
"Shouldn't you have finished your words?" Queen Mother Zhao asked Guo Kai, who had no outsiders on the left and right.
"Queen Mother, I do have another reason." Guo Kai nodded.
"Say."
"Queen Mother, if you say something that cannot be heard by outsiders, Li Mu and Bian Qi, who have three counties in the north, may not listen to us." Guo Kai said.
Zhao Jun's side cavalry came from the three northern counties, and Li Mu guarded the three northern counties all year round. He had extraordinary control over the three northern counties. Li Mu, who was supported by the military side cavalry, also had an extraordinary influence in the court of Zhao State, and that influence was not as good as that of Guo Kai himself. Even if the Queen Mother Zhao could stabilize her son Zhao Wang Qian's throne depends mostly on Li Mu's support.
But Li Mu's support for Zhao Wangqian only came from the death of the first king of Zhao Guo. What kind of attitude he has towards Zhao Wangqian, neither the Queen Mother Zhao nor Guo Kai is sure.
You must know that the deposed prince Zhao Jia is not only alive and well, but also has many supporters around him. If Li Mu turns to support Zhao Jia, he now has the most elite side cavalry regiment in the Zhao Kingdom, and he has sufficient strength to help him. Zhao Jia ascended to the throne, and, as Guo Kai said, most of the people in the three counties in the northern region followed Li Mu's lead, so beside Li Mu, there were not only Zhao Jun's side riders, but also a large number of Zhao bureaucrats. These people gathered around Li Mu, It has formed a political force that cannot be underestimated.
The Empress Dowager Zhao, who also knew this, heard Guo Kai's words and asked subconsciously: "What if there are no three northern counties?"
"If there are no three counties in the northern border, Bianqi will need the support of the Queen Mother even more. In this case, Bianqi and Li Mu may be more obedient." Guo Kaidao.
"What you said seems to make sense, but, are you really not from Qin?" Queen Mother Zhao hesitated.
Guo Kai kept talking about the benefits of giving up the three counties in the northern border, but he avoided talking about the disadvantages of giving up the three counties in the northern border.
Abandoning the three northern counties, nothing else, just the matter of war horses, is an influence that cannot be ignored for Zhao Guo. Zhao Jun is strong in cavalry, and the most important source of war horses for Zhao Guo is the three northern counties. On this point, Queen Mother Zhao also It can be seen, but everything is just like what Guo Kai said, it is a relationship of willingness and gain.
But Guo Kai kept silent about it, but he couldn't allow Queen Mother Zhao not to doubt it.
"Queen Mother, you know that even if I seek refuge in Yan State, it is impossible for me to seek refuge in Qin State. If Yang Ming wants to kill me, how can I seek refuge in Qin State?" Guo Kai said with a serious face.
"It's true if you think about it." The Queen Mother Zhao pondered, it is indeed impossible for Guo Kai to become Qin's undercover agent.
Li Mu, who was far on the front line, was still thinking about how to defeat Wang Jian, but he didn't know that in Zhao Du, someone was already thinking about selling the three northern counties.
Despicable people can find a hundred reasons for themselves to do bad things, but good people often only need one reason to do things.
The northern border of Zhao State, Dai County, and Dai County, after the Qin Army completely blocked Taihang Mountain and Yanshan Mountain, Qin Army began to attack across the board, because the main force of Dai County had been defeated by Qin Army at Hengshan Pass, so Qin Army In the full-line attack on Daijun, the autumn wind almost swept away the fallen leaves. When the time came to May, [-]% of the city in Daijun had fallen into the hands of the Qin army.
What is amazing is that Yang Ming's goal seems to be only Daijun. The Qin army's offensive is not unreasonable, but it allows the former dignitaries in Daijun to flee to Yanmen, Yunzhong and other places without even the most basic interception. .
It is precisely because of this that the Qin army went a little bit more smoothly when attacking the cities of Daijun.
During the time when the Qin army attacked the cities of Daijun, Yanmen County and Yunzhong County, which formed the three counties in the north of Zhao State with Daijun, mobilized urgently. Some people did not rashly choose to attack the Qin army, but guarded the city. Since the attack is weak, it is also an option to stick to it and wait for changes.
"The military newspaper shows that Zhao Jun from Yunzhong County has entered Yanmen County. Relying on the Great Wall and Zhucheng Pool, the defense is very tight. Are you really not in a hurry to attack? Wait until Zhao Jun completely completes the line of defense, and then go It's not easy to attack, it really doesn't conform to your habit of using troops in the past." Zi Nu sorted out the military reports on the desk for Yang Ming, her eyes were full of worry.
"At this time, at that time, those three counties in the north of Zhao State are not in a hurry. Besides, Dai County is already in our hands, and Yanmen County and Yunzhong County have become the isolated enclaves of Zhao State. What do you want? It is not easy for us to seize the two places at the right time, so why rush for a while." Yang Ming replied slowly, leaning on the soft couch with his eyes closed.
There is the melodious sound of the piano in his ears, and the delicate sound of the piano that only Nongyu can play gives Yang Ming a novel enjoyment. He can appreciate the beauty of the rhythm and dynamics of the piano sound in the extreme tranquility of his mind. If he has no leisure time, How to understand the mystery, so now Yang Ming is very stable, very stable.
"Is that so?" Zi Nu asked suspiciously. What Yang Ming said seemed to make sense, but it sounded like something was wrong.
"I think there is another reason." Amid Zi Nu's doubts, Nong Yu looked at Yang Ming at the end of the song, and there seemed to be a strange color flickering in her eyes.
"What's the reason?" Zi Nu asked curiously.
"Sister, have you forgotten what time it is?" Nongyu pointed to the sky outside the window and said, it's already May, even if there is a word "North" in the three counties of the northern border, the air is still unavoidable. A little more summer heat.
"Time?" Zi Nu looked along Nongyu's fingers, and saw a round of bright sun, the sun was hot, and summer had already begun.
"Although the harvest time in the north is a little later than that in South Korea and Dongjun, it will be almost the same in June. If my brother-in-law attacks Yanmen County and Yunzhong County at this time, it will affect the farmers in the two counties." Well, if there is another heavy rain, the two counties next year will definitely encounter food shortages." Nongyu looked at Zi Nu, who had become more and more stupid since she came to Dai County, and explained, but she couldn't help it in her heart. A little bit of worry was born, would he become like this in the future?
"So that's it. So, do you want to wait until after the harvest before attacking Yanmen and Yunzhong?" Zi Nu suddenly said, looking at Yang Ming with more reverence. With such thoughts, as a woman, she can only feel proud.
"Do I look like that kind of saint?" Yang Ming touched his face subconsciously, but couldn't find the feeling of a so-called saint at all.
"The saint is too far away, but my brother-in-law is right in front of me." Nongyu said charmingly, who said that Nongyu didn't have a lively side, she just didn't meet anyone who wanted to show her lively side to her.
"I admit that I am not in a hurry to attack Yanmen and Yunzhong because of the harvest, and I am indeed planning to wait until the harvest is over before attacking the two counties, but you guessed wrong about Nongyu, I am not Out of good intentions, if Yanmen and Yunzhong's harvest is successfully completed, there will be a lot more food in their treasury, and the defense will be more powerful. Correspondingly, as the offensive side, we will To pay more casualties, starting from this point, I will never do it anyway." Yang Ming explained.
"The kindness to the enemy is the cruelty to oneself. Nongyu, you have to remember that the enemy can be a good person or a bad person, but as long as they are enemies, they are enemies, and they must not be kind to them." Yang Ming warned , Nongyu and Zinu, although they are both first-class smart people, sometimes they also have the innocence of women. This point can't be said to be bad, but it can't be called good either.
"What is the purpose of brother-in-law?" Seeing Yang Ming's solemnity, Nongyu was a little more careful. Could it be that he guessed wrong?
"The army Chen Bing is at your side, Nongyu, what do you think the bureaucrats in Yanmen County and Yunzhong County will do?" Yang Ming asked.
"Naturally, it is an active defense." Of course, such a question is not difficult for Nongyu.
"That requires people. Now in Yanmen County, there are already 40 Zhao troops away. Based on my understanding of the three counties in the north, Yanmen County has a slightly larger population, but it will not exceed 20. Wan, as for Yunzhong County, it is even more sparsely populated with a population of only about 50. In Wanzhong, the old and weak who are over 20 and under the age of 20 must be removed. In this way, the number of people who can be drafted into the army is only about 16+ people, and among these 10,000+ people, the most vigorous , the most skilled fighters are all in the side cavalry army under Li Mu's command."
"In the end, the two counties can recruit at most 8 or 5 soldiers, and most of them are old and weak. However, the army under my command has [-] people, all of whom are elite. The bureaucrats probably wished to conscript women and children. With so many people gathered in the cities of Yanmen County, the conflict was no longer between the Qin army and the Zhao army, but that those people wanted to go home to farm. , but the bureaucrats of the two counties want them to defend the city." Yang Ming said calmly, and he had clearly shown his plan in front of Zi Nu and Nong Yu.
"You want to contribute to the civil strife in Yanmen County?" Zi Nu asked subconsciously, and Zi Nu, who had regained her IQ, immediately thought of this possibility.
"You can say that." Yang Ming said.
Nongyu looked at Yang Ming blankly, she was still naive after all, but she never thought of Yang Ming's calculations.
