I didn't know what to say at the moment. You must know this. Iron is also a very important thing for them. If they transfer it in advance, these important materials will have to be transferred in advance.
But now that Ning Xiaofan has reached this point, if they don't express anything, it probably won't be justified.
"General Ning, don't you know where your plan is now? If we all follow your wishes, General Ning, but the Yuan Kingdom does not send troops, wouldn't all these plans have no chance of success?"
Ning Xiaofan said: "That's true, but although your Song Kingdom's combat effectiveness is not very good, you should at least know whether the Yuan Kingdom is sending troops."
The two looked at each other again.
"General Ning, the iron you want is not unavailable, but the value of the iron is very important, so..."
"Is it more important than the value of the 3,000 soldiers and horses? You are even willing to hand over the 3,000 soldiers to me, but you are reluctant to part with some cold things. In this case, our cooperation can end here."
After Ning Xiaofan said this, he turned around and left.
"General Ning, stay!"
Zhao Jia spoke quickly.
Ning Xiaofan turned his back to them.
"Don't get me wrong, General Ning. This time is a desperate move. For us, we can only win but not lose. Losing may not mean anything to General Ning, but to me and Grand Administrator Cao, it means more than just wealth and life."
It’s so simple.”
Cao Xiong next to him also quickly said: "Yes, Mr. Ning, Mr. Zhao and I believe in General Ning's strength very much, but this battle is really too big, and we are facing the Yuan Kingdom's 100,000-strong army. All of them."
, General Ning, don’t blame me.”
Ning Xiaofan slowly turned around and looked at Zhao Jia and Cao Xiong.
"I understand your doubts very well, but there is never a guaranteed victory in a war. If you want me to give you a sure-win result, then I can tell you now that such a sure-win result is absolutely impossible.
But the cavalry of the Yuan Kingdom came back very quickly. I think you two are also very clear about this. The garrison of Linyang City is only 20,000 to 30,000, and after more than a month of fighting, it can be said that the troops are exhausted.
It is unimaginable to defeat the enemy with such strength."
Zhao Jia and Cao Xiong are not stupid, and they naturally understand the situation at hand.
Now several cities on the border of the Song State are in crisis, but the main force in the Song State has not come here to help. The reason is very simple. The Song State is not afraid of losing a few cities. What they are most afraid of is losing the main force of the Song State in one battle.
If it is exhausted, by that time, the Song Dynasty will really face the end of the country.
More importantly, there are many powerful countries around the Song Dynasty. They are also watching with eager eyes and have no opinions on the war between Song and Yuan Dynasty. It can be imagined that these people are watching the situation. If the Song Dynasty is really going to perish, they will probably send troops.
To seize the territory of Song Dynasty.
Zhao Jia said: "General Ning, can you come up with a foolproof strategy, that is, no matter what the reason, the Song Dynasty will not lose half of its territory."
Zhao Jia's words were obviously very helpless.
Although he wanted to be the king, he wanted to preserve the territorial integrity of the Song Kingdom even more. If he was asked to be the king of a fragmented territory, this would probably not be what he wanted to see.
To control a precarious Song Dynasty, he might as well be his prince.
"That's not impossible!"
Ning Xiaofan said.
Zhao Jia and Cao Xiong immediately looked at Ning Xiaofan.
Obviously, now they can only rely on Ning Xiaofan's strategy. At least, there is no good strategy here.
"Two methods, first, immediately mobilize the main force of the Song Army to rush for reinforcements. I think with the speed of the main force of the Song Army, it should be able to arrive soon. Although the Yuan Kingdom's 100,000 troops are extraordinary, if the Song Army resists to the death, I
Even if the Yuan army wants to conquer it, it will be extremely difficult for them to succeed."
When Zhao Jia and Cao Xiong heard Ning Xiaofan's words, they looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces.
Cao Xiong said: "General Ning doesn't know something. Linyang City has already asked the king for help, but the king just asked him to hold on and sent some military supplies and food and grass, but he didn't send a single soldier."
Ning Xiaofan said: "Why is this?"
As Ning Xiaofan spoke, his eyes fell on Zhao Jia.
"Obviously, my brother Wang is afraid that I will come into contact with military power." Zhao Jia said seriously: "Because he has sent me here before. If he mobilizes a large army, he is afraid that those people will listen to my instructions and threaten his throne.
There is a threat, and more importantly, my brother Wang is an extremely conservative person. For him, living his nourishing fairy life in the palace is his lifelong pursuit."
"If the Yuan army attacks the capital, I'm afraid his pursuits will come to nothing." Ning Xiaofan said calmly.
Zhao Jia nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, that's why I said before that the late king, without any foresight, actually asked me, the king brother, to be his successor. If my pleasure-seeking brother king is allowed to take charge forever, the Song Dynasty will not be far away from being destroyed."
Cao Xiong also said: "Young Master is right. The current Song State needs you to stand up. Only in this way can the future of Song State have hope. Otherwise, Song State may soon cease to exist. General Ning, for the sake of Young Master
For the sake of the people of Song State, we must not lose this time. General Ning is counting on it again and again. It is no longer possible for the king. Just now General Ning said there are two ways, so what is the other way?"
Ning Xiaofan said: "The Yuan Kingdom is so arrogant and domineering. I'm afraid it's not just the Song Kingdom that has been bullied by the Yuan Kingdom. I wonder which princely states around the Yuan Kingdom have bad relations with the Yuan Kingdom."
"If we want to say that the countries with the worst relationship with the Yuan Kingdom are probably the Ming Kingdom and the Tang Kingdom. The Yuan and Ming Dynasties were already feuding. The Ming Kingdom was once powerful and killed the king of the Yuan Kingdom, which also greatly damaged the Yuan Kingdom's vitality.
After several generations of kings, it has reached its current scale. If the Yuan Kingdom had not suffered a major loss of vitality back then, then the current Yuan Kingdom would probably be even stronger."
Ning Xiaofan said: "What about Tang State?"
Cao Xiong said: "The Yuan and Tang Dynasties were the two vassal states with the best relationship before, and they often married each other. But 50 years ago, the then King of Yuan married his beloved little daughter to the then King of Tang. However,
In less than a year, the princess of the Yuan Kingdom who married the Tang Dynasty died in the Tang Kingdom. For this reason, the Yuan Kingdom made great efforts to make weapons and weapons, and insisted that the Tang Kingdom give a suitable solution.
However, the reason given by the Tang State was that she died of illness. The Yuan State did not acknowledge this, and even wanted to take back the princess's body. The Tang State buried her with the rites of a queen. Because of this, the two countries did not agree.
He fought a big war because of unclear things. In the end, the Tang Dynasty paid the price of several cities to quell the war. From then on, the two countries were at odds with each other."
Ning Xiaofan said: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If the Song Dynasty can persuade the Tang and Ming Dynasties to attack at the same time, the Yuan Kingdom will probably suffer a loss even if it is strong. But if the Tang, Song and Ming Dynasty allied themselves, the Yuan Kingdom would suffer."
I’m afraid I won’t be so comfortable in the future, and the three countries will be able to double their strength because of the alliance. Even if the skills are insufficient, the defense is still sufficient.”
"What a good plan." Zhao Jia was pleasantly surprised when he heard Ning Xiaofan's words: "The Tang and Song dynasties have always had a harmonious relationship, and because their territories are not adjacent, there has never been any conflict. Moreover, the Tang State had always been with the Song State before.
If we show our kindness here, they will definitely be willing to ally with us. By then, the Tang State may be able to regain their lost territory. This is naturally a good thing for them. The Ming State will
Needless to say, the conquests with the Yuan Kingdom have been ongoing in recent years, and its national power has been declining in the past 10 years, so the conquests with the Yuan Kingdom have always been unsuccessful. If they knew that the three countries were attacking at the same time, they would definitely
I agree, and the most important thing is that these two countries are not as wealthy as the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty can provide them with military supplies, food and grass, and I believe they will be very happy."
Ning Xiaofan said: "These are Mr. Zhao. You, the Song State, planned it on your own."
Zhao Jia excitedly said to Ning Xiaofan: "General Ning's move is really very high. This time it will definitely cause the Yuan Kingdom to suffer."
Ning Xiaofan said: "The Yuan Kingdom is very powerful. As its neighbor, no one hopes that it will always be the strongest. If that is the case, sooner or later, it will be devoured by this tiger and wolf. Unless you
To deliberately offend the Tang and Ming countries, otherwise they will definitely send troops. Once these two countries plan before sending troops, the chance of success will be even greater."
The two of them were very excited when they heard Ning Xiaofan's words.
If they were a little worried about Ning Xiaofan's plan before, they are not worried at all now. The reason is very simple. They know very well that if they follow Ning Xiaofan's instructions to unite, the other two countries will not be worried at all.
Even if the country loses some territory, it will definitely get it back.
Although the soldiers of the Yuan Kingdom were many and very elite, if they were to use the power of one country to fight against the Three Kingdoms, I'm afraid he would not be able to bear it.
At this time, Zhao Jia turned to look at Cao Xiong.
"Prefect Cao, any supplies that General Ning needs are not allowed to be withheld without authorization. Do you understand?"
Obviously, he said this to Ning Xiaofan. The reason was very simple. It was because the strategy Ning Xiaofan gave him now gave him hope, so he felt that it didn't matter even if he took out some iron.
More importantly, Ning Xiaofan's side is also a very important part, which affects whether he can ascend the throne in the future.
What's more important is that the person he can't offend the most now is Ning Xiaofan, so only by pleasing Ning Xiaofan can he realize his ambition. At this time, he will naturally blame everything on Cao Xiong.
.
He hoped to make Ning Xiaofan understand that the reason why he did not immediately give the iron to Ning Xiaofan was not his fault, but Cao Xiong's fault.
