Although he was so comforting on his lips, he was gloating in his heart.
Xiang Tianxing, Xiang Tianxing, you will be dealt with badly when the time comes, don't blame me.
After all, it was you who bullied her to death in the first place, so there's nothing wrong with her looking for trouble.
After sobbing in Nan Yanxi's arms for a while, Xiang Ning'er slowly calmed down.
She straightened up slightly and said seriously to him: "Thank you... Yan Xi..."
"From today on, I am no longer the adopted daughter of the Xiang family, Xiang Ning'er."
"I am now the general under Nan Yanxi and the commander-in-chief of this attack on Yanzhou, Xiang Ning'er."
"Haha... That's right!" Nan Yanxi patted her shoulder happily: "This is what you call having backbone, and this is what you call promising!"
After saying that, he stood up and poured a glass of wine for her: "Tell me...what are your plans this time?"
"Hmm..." Xiang Ning'er pondered for a while and began to analyze slowly.
"As for Yanzhou, Xiang Yang has reduced 90% of his troops to guard against us."
"A small number of miscellaneous names are scattered on the frontier and in some unimportant small cities, mainly as sentinels."
"The main troops have all retreated into the main city of Yanzhou and the two counties of Pingyang and Shangyun on the left and right fronts."
"These two counties are at each other's back to defend each other, forming an inverted shape with Yanzhou City behind them."
Xiang Ning'er slowly introduced what she knew about the situation: "Speaking of which, I have to introduce Xiang Jiajun's situation."
"The main components of the Xiang Family Army are as follows."
"His most direct relatives are the disciples of the Liquan Sect, plus the Kyoto garrison, patrol army, and three of the four forbidden armies that he controlled at that time."
"The Longwu Army, the Tiger Power Army, and the Leopard Tao Army total...about 100,000 people."
"The rest include the entire Yanzhou Army of his eldest disciple, Yanzhou Governor Chen Cheng, plus a lot of the Dongzhou Army and most of the Zhongzhou Army who were deceived with tiger talismans."
"The most miscellaneous ones are the troops who surrendered after each battle, plus the new troops recruited temporarily and the Green Forest Army recruited."
"A rough calculation shows that the total strength of the Xiang Family Army is approximately... close to around half a million."
"In this decisive battle with the Daxia Allied Forces, they sent 200,000 of their most elite troops."
"In addition to Yanzhou, the total number of troops stationed in other states and counties under the command is about 150,000, but the establishment is scattered."
"Right now, these 150,000 troops stationed in Yanzhou are barely the only army of the Xiang Family Army that has an overall establishment."
"So... destroying them will have a great impact on the Xiang family's entire layout."
"However, because of this, Xiang Yang will definitely defend with all his strength, even if it means fighting to the death."
After saying that, Xiang Ning'er looked at Nan Yanxi: "Lord, what kind of result do you want in this battle?"
"If it's just to contain the Xiang Family Army and allow the Daxia Allied Forces to breathe, then that's simple. We just need to feign an attack."
"The goal has been achieved by allowing some of the 200,000 elites who participated in the battle in Zhongzhou to return to their divisions."
"But if you are interested in Yanzhou and want to give the Xiang family a severe blow, then we have to discuss it more."
Xiang Ning'er's words made Nan Yanxi very happy.
This shows that she has really started to think about and study this aspect.
Smiling happily, Nan Yanxi planned to leave the decision-making power in her hands.
Then he smiled and said: "Listen to you, Sister Ning'er, just consider our current strategic situation."
"Let's see what we are going to do... just tell us!"
"You trust me so much? Aren't you afraid that I might cause trouble for you?"
Xiang Ning'er, who had emerged from her psychological shadow, was in a good mood and actually made a joke to Nan Yanxi.
"Someone asked me to stay in Yuzhou before, but he only gave me a false official position, and also asked sister Yihan to keep an eye on me, huh?"
"Uh...well..." As soon as these words came out, Nan Yanxi blushed.
He could only quibble and say: "Oh no... there is no way. I asked Senior Sister to come here to protect Sister Ning'er."
"You said your martial arts are so bad, what if that boy Xiangyang comes to bully you again?"
"Senior sister is very skilled in martial arts. Even two Xiang Yangs are no match for her. It is just right to protect you."
"As for that official position... of course it was a wrong choice because I didn't understand Sister Ning'er's abilities."
"Isn't that...as soon as she discovered Sister Ning'er's abilities, she was immediately promoted."
"Bah! That's nice to say." Xiang Ning'er said coquettishly: "This is obviously due to her own efforts."
"You...you are really reasonable and don't let others, and you are unreasonable and causing trouble..."
After all the fuss, they still had to talk, and the two drank a few glasses of wine with each other.
Xiang Ning'er thought about it for a while and said slowly: "This is what I think about this matter..."
"My lord, don't you want to unify the Western Regions and form a strategic encirclement of Daxia?"
"Now that Beiyuan and Southern Zhao have been pacified, the fall of the Eagle and Falcon Khanate has become a foregone conclusion, leaving only Western Chu."
"If...we really capture Yanzhou directly, it will definitely be a major blow to the Xiang family."
"The Battle of Zhongzhou may end in a huge defeat."
"Although doing this can greatly weaken the power of the Xiang family, it also gives the Daxia coalition an opportunity to grow."
"Once this happens, the troops from Western Chu in the coalition forces may be transferred back."
"After all, there is turmoil in the neighboring countries to the north and south of Western Chu. People in their country are panicked, and they may have thought about retreating for a long time."
"It's just that the current situation is too bad. They are pressed hard by the Xiang Jiajun. They are stuck and cannot withdraw at all."
"If my lord intends to conquer Xichu, then we can't push each other too far."
Nan Yanxi thought Xiang Ning'er's analysis made sense, and took a high look at her strategic vision.
Then he affirmed: "Yes, it is indeed true. So what does Sister Ning'er mean, is it just a feint attack?"
"No..." Xiang Ning'er shook her head: "Then we are no longer working for Situ Wen? Why?"
"We pretended for a long time. We didn't get any benefits ourselves, but we made Situ Wen and the others happy. This is not a loss-making business."
"Besides, the effect of such a feint attack is still too small, and it is just a breathing opportunity for Situ Wen."
"Whether the decline can be reversed in the future remains to be seen."
"When the Xiang family army comes to their senses and knows that we are the unsettling factor behind it, maybe the offensive against the coalition forces will be even more fierce."
"In this battle of Zhongzhou, if the Xiang Jiajun really defeated the Daxia Allied Forces, it would also go against our balanced strategy."
"If the coalition forces are defeated, then only Liangzhou and Yunzhou will be left in Daxia."
"The troops have been completely lost. It is estimated that there will no longer be reinforcements to help them."
"Daxia basically exists in name only, but the rise of the Xiang family will actually become our formidable enemy."
