Yin Wujiang was sitting in the room as he had done every time they met before, making moves on the chessboard alone.
Li Danqing's arrival did not surprise the old man who was accustomed to wind and rain at all. He just raised his head and glanced at the other party, and then lowered his head again.
Li Danqing was not polite and sat upright on the opposite side of the old man.
He turned his head and glanced at the chessboard in front of him, and said with a tsk in his mouth: "I said, you often say that if you know your opponent's mind, you can win every battle. You are almost good at this game, but tell me,
Do you know what the Liao people are thinking?"
When the old man who was about to make his move heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Li Danqing, then shook his head and said: "This time of the Liao people is different from every other time. I can't be sure."
Li Danqing was not surprised by such an answer. He looked around and soon landed on the teapot beside him. He was not polite, walked forward, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup.
"What's the difference? Let's talk about it and listen to it."
Yin Wujiang paused after hearing the words, then reached out and touched the chess pieces on the chessboard to the ground, then pointed at one side of the chessboard: "These are the four counties of Xijing, Luwu, Wangshan, Qionglai, and Xizhou.
"
"The Liao people are located in a desolate land outside the western border. The reason why they have been eyeing Wuyang for a long time is that in the final analysis, they care about Wuyang's fertile land and unexpected wealth."
"In the past, every time we used troops, we either focused on plundering or trying to seize land."
"If nearly a million troops were mobilized, a huge amount of food, grass and property would be consumed. For the Liao State's finances, this expenditure was enough to strain the muscles and bones. Since so many things had been paid, it was natural to find a way.
It pays off.”
"The Liao people invaded the four counties. Isn't this the reward they want?" Li Danqing asked with narrowed eyes.
However, Yin Wujiang said in a deep voice: "The Western Territory has always been barren. It is almost the same as the land where the Liao people lived, especially in Xizhou County. Because of the fierce Yin Mountain, large areas of land cannot be cultivated. The Liao people invaded the four counties.
The land they can get is far from enough to quench their thirst, so that's it. Since they have obtained the land of four counties, they must need a lot of strong labor to help them with farming, right? But they are not robbed.
They plundered young men and massacred them, which is also contrary to their usual style of doing things."
"And the weirdest thing is that even though they have solutions to both of them, why do they
Are you going to destroy the Dry Moon Sacred Mountain?"
Li Danqing's heart suddenly trembled when he heard this. He had seen what kind of impact it would have on the surrounding world when the Holy Mountain collapsed.
When we were in Yingshui County, with the collapse of Yangshan Mountain, the spiritual power of Yingshui County suddenly became thinner. The weather was extremely cold, and the temperature difference between day and night was huge. Crops simply could not survive in such an environment, as Yin Wujiang said
In this way, the Liao people did not plunder the people or care about the land this time. This was indeed very different from the previous wars with Wuyang in their style.
"Then according to Da Siming, what is the purpose of the Liao people this time? What do they want?" Li Danqing asked in a deep voice.
Yin Wujiang said nothing, but turned to look at the empty chessboard again. Then he dropped four pieces on the chessboard, lined them up, and murmured: "Green Wolf, Longqu, Goshawk, Black
Absolute four."
"Each 200,000-strong army is an elite force. Now these four armies have fallen into the four counties of Luwu, Xizhou, Wangshan and Qionglai respectively."
"If you were a Liao general, what should you do now?"
Li Danqing was stunned when he heard this. Although he was still strange in his heart, he still thought about it seriously and said: "If I were a Liao general and had a great record in attacking Longwuguan, Wuyang's main White Wolf Army would be annihilated in one fell swoop.
In my eyes, Wuyang is already a lamb to be slaughtered, but a emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the White Wolf Army is annihilated, the other prefectures and counties in Wuyang are still capable of organizing a large army. Everyone knows the principle of beating up a drowned dog.
I will organize a large army as soon as possible, take advantage of Wuyang City's defense, and launch a massive attack. As long as Wuyang City is captured, the people of Wuyang Dynasty will definitely lose their morale. By then, it will be difficult to organize a powerful counterattack.
Not very likely."
"Even if there are some stragglers, I can defeat them one by one."
After hearing what Li Danqing said, Yin Wujiang nodded and said, "Quite smart."
Li Danqing frowned. He felt that Yin Wujiang's praise sounded inexplicably harsh to him.
But before Li Shizi could fully recover, Yin Wujiang's voice sounded again: "Look, you also understand this truth. The commander-in-chief of the Liao people can destroy the entire White Wolf Army in such a short period of time. It is unthinkable.
Would be a fool."
"But if you look at the behavior of the Liao people these days, after destroying Longwuguan, although they quickly invaded the three counties of Xizhou, Wangshan and Qionglai, they never made any move in the next half month.
The offensive against Luwu County had just been launched a few days ago, and after occupying Luwu County, the four armies were not at all
There is no plan to unite the troops, but the four of them are staying in the four counties separately. There is no movement, and there is no plan to unite the troops."
"What Da Siming means is that you think the Liao people have been waiting for work, waiting for us to take the initiative to attack us all?" Li Dan heard something and asked at that time.
Yin Wujiang shook his head, pointed to the four chess pieces on the chessboard again, and said: "You also said that for the Liao people, the best way is to take the initiative and capture Wuyang City, thus completely cutting off Wuyang.
Good luck."
"Waiting for us to gather the army and go forward, although they may not necessarily be defeated, there will definitely be many more variables out of thin air. For them, this choice is definitely not the optimal solution. What's more, spreading the troops of the four groups
Come on, even if the Liao people's cavalry is invincible, it still takes time to cross the four counties. Don't they have any concerns about being divided by us and defeated one by one?"
"Therefore, in my opinion, rather than saying that they are waiting for us to attack in the four counties, it is better to say that they are waiting for the ultimate goal of their trip to happen..."
"The ultimate goal? What is it?" Li Danqing asked.
Yin Wujiang shook his head again when he heard this: "I have no way of knowing about this, but I feel that no matter what the purpose is, it may be a disaster for Wu Yang Chao."
"And again, whatever that end may be, it should be about it."
The old man said this and pointed to the edge of the chessboard.
Li Danqing was stunned. This chessboard symbolizes the four counties of the Western Region, and the edge of the four counties is naturally...
Fierce Yin Mountain!
"Fierce Yin Mountain!?" Li Danqing was startled. He remembered what his father had said to him a long time ago.
He looked at the old man and asked: "What exactly is Fierce Yin Mountain and why is it so important?"
Wu Yangchao secretly spent a lot of financial and material resources to support the Fierce Yin Sect, and as the chief commander of Tianjian Division, Yin Wujiang must know some of the inside story.
In the past, Li Danqing could turn a blind eye to these things, but now that he has to face these troubles personally, he naturally has to ask clearly.
Faced with Li Danqing's inquiry, Yin Wujiang remained silent for a while.
