"General, I would like to thank you for your kindness in staying alive. From now on, I will fight to the death for you!"
Hearing Shen Tang's promise, Sun Zedang was overjoyed! Even he himself was a little unbelievable that he could survive despite being punished by death.
"Okay, now that all the generals are here, let's discuss how to advance the army..."
Xin Qiji, Bian Xi and Shao Hongyuan led their troops to advance in three directions.
Among them, Xin Qiji entered Yazhou, southwest of Chengdu Prefecture, Bian Xi went directly south to enter Meizhou, and Shao Hongyuan rushed southwest to attack Longzhou.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with advancing troops in these three directions, if we can really capture these three continents.
Then, it will form a siege on Jiadingfu, an important southern town on Chengdufu Road.
Then use these three states as a springboard to attack Jiading Prefecture.
As long as Jiading Prefecture is captured, most of the fighting on Chengdu Fulu Road will be over.
Next, you can attack on the four continents and wipe out the Tibetan army in the surrounding state capitals.
Jiading Prefecture is located in the central area of the south of Chengdu Prefecture, and the city is built on the side of Emei. As long as Jiading Prefecture is captured, the various state capitals south of Chengdu Prefecture cannot be connected together, and the soldiers of the Song Dynasty will have enough time and space to attack everywhere. , defeat the enemies one by one.
Unfortunately, the theory was correct, but the enemy had discovered the traces and purpose of the three attacking armies before they even left their homes. Of course, they were unable to complete their mission.
According to Sun Ze's account, Shao Hongyuan was trapped in Shima Town south of Longzhou, Bian Xi was besieged in Danling in Meizhou, and Xin Qiji was trapped by the enemy in Rongjing in Yazhou.
In terms of distance, Danling is the closest and Rongjing is the farthest!
"Sir, there is a plan in the end!"
Sun Ze said.
After finally seeing the hope of living, Sun Ze worked extremely hard! Not only did he explain everything he knew, but he also actively spoke in the discussions, even compared to what he did under Wang Huaixun. You have to work hard every time.
Under Shen Tang's gaze, Sun Ze said, "General Mo is willing to go to three places to investigate the situation for you first.
Your Excellency's plan is unparalleled. The only thing lacking is the movements of these three places and the Tibetan army. As long as we can find out clearly, Your Majesty can definitely defeat the enemy.
Therefore, I am willing to serve as your pawn!"
"Moreover, sir, please rest assured that the general does not need to bring any troops. After all, the more troops and horses there are, the easier it is to attract the enemy's attention.
All you need to do is give the general some horses, if the general cannot complete the task, he is willing to die!"
Of course he knew that he would definitely have a narrow escape from death, but as long as he could come back, he would be able to gain Shen Tang's trust, and he would be more confident that he could survive in Shen Tang's hands.
Therefore, despite knowing the danger, he was willing to take this trip.
Shen Tang nodded with satisfaction. Although Sun Ze was forced by life and death, it was obviously a good thing for him to have such an awareness.
As long as a dying person can give him a glimmer of hope, he will try his best to fight for it. This is also one of the biggest reasons why Shen Tang keeps him here.
"Sun Ze, I didn't leave you here to send you to die.
You just need to obey the order, and I will keep you alive from now on."
Sun Ze's expression changed, with a look of gratitude on his face. He hesitated for a moment, didn't say anything more, and just nodded vigorously!
"Besides, it's just some news. I have already prepared it, so there is no need for my generals to die!"
Shen Tang said calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the guard outside the door entered the tent and said, "General, there is a man named Lu Feng outside the city who wants to see the general!"
"Let him in!"
Shen Tang said calmly.
For war, the importance of news is naturally self-evident. The reason why Shen Tang did not rush to investigate the situation was precisely because Lu Feng and others were there! Although he left Chengdu Mansion before, Lu Feng and An Ye The people in the pavilion are still there.
Moreover, when Xin Qiji and the other three sent troops, Lu Feng was indirectly involved, but something went wrong in the process, which led to the current situation.
However, Shen Tang believed that as long as he knew he was coming.
Lu Feng will definitely bring the news he needs as quickly as possible.
Not long after, Lu Feng entered the tent under the leadership of a personal guard.
As soon as he entered the tent, Lu Feng knelt down in front of Shen Tang regardless of the presence of everyone, "Sir, General Xin and others were trapped this time because of my poor planning. Please punish me!"
Shen Tang stepped forward, helped Lu Feng up from the ground, and said to the people around him, "You guys go down and prepare first! Get your troops in order and march in tomorrow!"
Everyone bowed and left, Lu Feng was pushed down on the chair by Shen Tang, "Lu Feng, this time it was just an accident, why should you blame yourself.
No one expected that this time Wang Huaizhen actually wanted to kill someone. It is not surprising that you were not fully prepared.
Fortunately, it's not too late now, I just hope they can hold on for a few more days, and when I lead my troops, I will be able to rescue them."
Lu Feng nodded silently, but the guilty look on his face remained the same!
Originally, he and Xin Qiji had a good discussion. Lu Feng went to check the movements of the Tubo people, while Xin Qiji and the others were waiting for the opportunity.
However, first the Tibetan army hid its tracks and lurked with the help of local tribes. Later, there were spies among the three Song armies who left marks at any time to guide the Tubo people.
In this case, Lu Feng would definitely fall into the enemy's plan even if he had the power to penetrate the whole body.
"What's the situation now? Where are the Tibetan armies located?"
Shen Tang asked.
Hearing Shen Tang's question, Lu Feng also restrained his other emotions and answered seriously, "My lord, this time the Tibetans almost came out in force. My lord has fought against the Tibetans several times before. Although they wiped out tens of thousands of their troops, they The total number of soldiers and horses is still about 140,000 to 50,000.
This time, in order to directly trap and kill the Song army, except for the 20,000 soldiers and horses still stationed in Jiading Mansion, all the other more than 120,000 soldiers and horses were dispatched.
In addition, many small tribes have been secretly subdued by Tubo. Although these small tribes are not strong, they cannot bear their large numbers. Under Tubo's instruction, these small tribes have also gathered more than 50,000 soldiers. horse!"
"In addition, the Xuhen tribe in Qiongbu Prefecture and the Xishan Yechuan tribes may have reached a secret agreement with Tubo! These two parties also sent 30,000 troops each to assist the Tubo army!"
The Xishan Yechuan tribes are located to the west of Yazhou. Most of the territory borders Tubo and occupies a state! There are countless large and small tribes here. The small ones even only have thousands of tribes, and the big ones are basically stronger than the Poison Ivy tribe. Not much.
