Chapter 308 The enemy wants to come, I will retreat
Seeing Zhao Yin, Zhao and Zhao seemed to have some relaxed and contented expressions on their faces.
It seemed that they did not take the thousands of Qiang Dao garrison into consideration.
Zhao Ang and his wife suddenly felt a trace of sadness on their faces, and their eyes showed a bit of solemnity.
He groaned for a long time.
Wang Yi, who was sitting silently on the sidelines, suddenly had a smile on his face and slowly persuaded: "Two heads of the family, this plan of dividing the troops for a surprise attack was formulated after discussions between me and my husband."
"As my husband said just now, the Shu army is currently insufficient in strength. Even if it is vigilant, it is beyond its reach and cannot change the current weak defense problem of the Qiang Road."
"It is extremely easy to achieve success by leading a group of people to raid this place."
"As long as the two of you can conquer the Qiang Road in this battle, and rely on your achievements, my husband will ask for your merits, and I think the envoy will report it to the court in person."
"It will be just around the corner for all of you to become marquises and knights and become members of the court!"
A few words slowly fell out.
After Zhao Qu and Yin Feng heard this, they quickly realized what was going on.
"It turns out that Brother Ang entrusted us with such important tasks because he wanted us to perform meritorious service and take advantage of the opportunity to enter the court."
"Brother Ang and Madam Sister-in-law have really worked hard this time."
"We will not let Brother Zhao down in this battle!"
After hearing what Wang Yi said.
Yin and Zhao also quickly figured out the purpose of sending a group of them to raid the Qiang Road. It turned out that it was to get them closer to the imperial court.
Look at the expressions on their faces.
Zhao Angsui also smiled and said: "Yes! This was originally a God-given military exploit, but it was just a surprise attack on an important town that was poorly defended. The people present just now were all short-sighted."
"When they heard that I had not arranged for them, everyone looked happy."
"I thought this would be a real chore."
"Ha ha!"
"Brother Ang has been in battle for a long time and is now serving in the county. It seems that he is more knowledgeable than me."
For a moment, several people smiled knowingly and joked with each other.
A bit of joking.
Wang Yi, who was standing by, had a straight face again. His expression was not as relaxed as before. Instead, he was extremely solemn and reminded in a solemn tone:
"However, Qiang Dao's defense has become empty again."
"But the two heads of the family cannot take it lightly. It is the only way to underestimate the enemy."
At this point, she paused for a moment, and her tone became more solemn, and she said: "I think you have all heard about the thousands of troops of the Shu army who confronted us on the Longnan front line."
"Able to fight against tens of thousands of General Fei's troops with only a few thousand lone troops, withstanding wave after wave of offensives."
"This is enough to prove that although General Zhao Tong is young, he does have unique insights in training soldiers and commanding them."
"So, even if the current Qiang Dao garrison number is no more than a thousand, we can't take it lightly."
Word after word was spoken.
The further she talked, the more worried she became in her words.
"Yes, I heard that the Qiang Dao garrison left behind was a general named Ma Zhong."
"This man seems to be the most courageous and adept at fighting under Zhao Tong. You two brothers must not underestimate your enemy."
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Ang took over the conversation, stared at the two of them closely, and spoke solemnly.
Seeing the couple admonishing with such serious expressions on their faces.
When Yin Feng and Zhao Qu saw this, they knew that this battle was by no means as simple as imagined.
After a while, everyone's expressions became serious, and they said with determination:
"Okay, thank you brother for reminding me."
"I'll pay attention to it later."
After saying that, the two bowed deeply to Zhao Ang.
With a plan finalized.
Next, the countrymen recruited by the wealthy families and the private soldiers under their command are gathering vigorously.
There is a possibility of sending troops westward at any time.
The scouts placed by Zhao Tong among the counties in Liangzhou had already begun to carry out the campaign as early as when they first entered Qiang Road.
Up to now, it has basically covered the entire territory of Longyou.
Only in Hexi areas, due to the sparse population, deployment is more difficult, and it is not yet fully covered.
But, for today's war, it is enough.
Nowadays, all kinds of news about the various actions among the families continue to converge on Hanying and Zhao Tong's case.
It can be said that he knows everything about their actions.
Han camp.
Constantly checking the truth and facts gathered by the scouts, I knew that the armed troops under the powerful families had gathered in Jicheng and would be heading west soon.
After watching it.
Zhao Tongyun also had a solemn look on his face, and he slowly pondered.
He was also quietly thinking about the next countermeasures.
"Now we have marched north to invade Longxi, and have been facing Cao's army for more than a month."
"Although our army did not achieve many substantial gains, it almost mobilized various departments of Cao's army. In order to expel our army's infiltration, the governor Zhang Ji constantly recruited his troops to assist Fei Yao."
"And the continuous supply of logistical resources."
"After the so-called war, it must be a time of extreme weakness."
"But now March has passed, and the counties and counties in Liangzhou, which are facing a lot of waste, have missed the most critical month to organize spring plowing."
"If our troops withdraw now, how would Ah Yue feel?"
He softly analyzed the war started by himself and the various impacts it had on the enemy.
Then, he thought about retreating.
This is the plan that Zhao Yue used in the previous episode to persuade him to withdraw from the army after hearing that all the families were joining forces.
However, after pondering for a while, he went ahead and asked Zhao Yue who was standing by.
Because of Zhao Yue's extraordinary resourcefulness.
Perhaps even Zhao Tong himself did not realize that he had relied on him for advice.
Especially in the previous campaign, he led more than a hundred knights to attack the enemy camp, which damaged the morale of Cao's army and suffered some trauma. He needed to rest and left the important task of resisting the enemy's offensive to Huo Yihou.
To be on the safe side, he also sent his adviser Ma Su to assist Huo Yi in the camp.
Of course, it's not just about assistance.
After some observation, Zhao Tong also keenly discovered that Huo Yi's talent for command was not bad.
However, the Ma Su he saw in his previous life happened to be a very knowledgeable person in the field of staff and military aircraft.
Even Zhuge Liang praised him a lot.
But Ma Su's fatal flaw was that his knowledge of military strategy was still limited to military books.
Everything is based on the art of war, and there is a lack of substantial changes.
So much so that when he took charge of his troops for the first time, he suffered a huge defeat.
This time he was ordered to go to the camp to help defend against Huo Yi.
Zhao Tong did not fail to let Ma Su experience battle formations first-hand, so that he could have a better understanding of commanding troops.
It was also during this period that Ma Su often made suggestions when he was not around.
So much so that he somewhat relied on Zhao Yue's staff.
Hearing this, Zhao Yue's face was still extremely calm and calm at this time, and she slowly analyzed: "General, it is imperative to withdraw the troops at this time!"
"Then why did the governor of Liangzhou decide to expel our army quickly at all costs?"
"You even don't hesitate to summon all the wealthy families in the state to help?"
"This is enough to show that they will not sit back and watch us stay in the country for a long time and harass them to disrupt their rhythm of recuperation and long-term and stable development."
After saying that, she narrowed her eyes and continued without any change in her tone: "And our army has been stationed on the Longnan front line for more than a month."
"March is the most critical month for spring plowing."
"In other words, Liangzhou is already a step behind in spring plowing this year."
"If our army is still determined to confront the enemy, it will definitely make the Cao family anxious and even not hesitate to break out a war with our army."
"But the Battle of Hanzhong caused considerable losses to both sides."
"If a war breaks out rashly and the rear is not fully prepared for the Northern Expedition, the war situation will not be favorable to us."
The conversation gradually settled down.
Zhao Tongyi couldn't help but look at her round face with fine details, and praised with a smile: "Haha, Ah Yue is worthy of being a hero among women."
