Chapter 1474

For other princes and kings, they will not hesitate. The vassals are only used for enslavement, and there is no psychological burden when they should give up.

But Xiang Tai is a different kind.

He is more close to the people and relatively good.

If you abandon the city and break through the siege, the people of the city will obviously not be able to follow, so they will have to be abandoned

But now the form, and can only do so, retreat, rejuvenate, and then make plans!

We should be constantly determined, but we should be disturbed.

Xiang Tai finally made a decision, but this kind of thing, can not be announced, can only make preparations in secret, and must be strictly confidential!

Otherwise, there will be riots in the city.

The high level reached an agreement and began to prepare for the final plan. At the same time, Dugu Xin of Shangzhu state finally recovered from the defeat and presided over again, which gave people hope.

The two letters written by him were sent out quietly in the night!

One was sent to Shouchun, the capital of the state of Chu. As Xiang Tai said, the defeat could not be held down. He had to send back the war situation as soon as possible and ask the imperial court to make a decision and support as soon as possible!

The other one was sent to Beiwang City, where Dugu Xin, as a member of Shangzhu Kingdom, ordered that Duan Wang Xiangzhi lead the rescue department.

There are more than 200000 people in Duanwang Xiangzhi.

In Changning, there are 300000 light cavalry and more than 100000 remnant troops. The combined forces of the two sides are also considerable. It may not be possible to fight head-on, but there should be no problem to break through.

That's their next plan.

After breaking through the encirclement, retreat to Pingguo, and then make plans

In the past few days, Wang Kang has been dealing with post-war related issues, such as cleaning the battlefield, counting the war losses, reorganizing the army, etc

The great victory in this war is beyond many people's expectation. What's more incredible is that in a war of this scale, the casualties of our own side are very small.

It's a miracle.

However, people can probably understand it, because the mode of this war is different from that of conventional war.

If we disturb the enemy in advance, we will collapse in time and attack the whole line, and we will win easily.

It's easy to say, but it's difficult to operate in practice, which depends on the ability of the commander in chief.

Obviously, Wang Kang did it!

After the war, Wang Kang fulfilled his promise as scheduled, held a grand celebration banquet and made a reward.

The way to run the army and to rule the country is a question from a university.

It will never last long if you want the horse to run and the horse not to eat grass.

The celebration banquet lasted three days and three nights!

Now the morale of the whole army is high!

Wang Kang's prestige has reached its peak!

When he came to the front line, he first resisted the enemy's all-round attack, defeated Xiang lie in the first battle of Huli plain, and then captured Gaoyi city to stabilize the whole situation!

The victory of Changning war became a turning point in the war against Chu. After this war, they will no longer be passively attacked by the enemy, but will take the initiative to attack!

The army was recuperated.

The generals also had the idea to set off a wave of fighting climax. Taking advantage of the great victory, they should attack Changning at one stroke, destroy the remnants of the enemy, and expand the results of the battle

However, at this time, Wang Kang abnormally did not move. In the face of the people asking for a fight, he just replied, but the time did not come.

Today.

The generals came to the camp to fight again.

Lu Zhao was the first to say: "marshal, at this time, our soldiers are very enthusiastic and have a strong sense of war. It's the best time to attack Changning City."

"Yes

The crowd echoed one after another.

Zhu Ziming said, "this is not our wish, but what the whole army wants..."

"Is the commander in chief worried that Changning City, as the capital of hengguo, is the largest city, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, for fear that a strong attack will cause too much loss?"

"Ha ha!"

"General Wu is worried too much."

Lu Zhao said with a smile: "we have Shenji camp and Fuyang air force. It's not easy to capture Changning City?"

Hearing the speech, everyone laughed.

It is no secret that the Fuyang air force officially appeared in this battle among the main generals.

"Wait a minute."

I heard that.

Wang Kang said: "Shenji camp, Fuyang air force, there are many restrictions on their use, and they are not invincible. Don't place everything on them, do you understand?"

He felt it necessary to remind him.

Now Shenji camp and Fuyang air force are completely exposed, which inevitably brings some indulgence to the generals and makes them feel confident.

This is not a good phenomenon.

Since the beginning of the war, the amount of gunpowder used was huge.

Had it not been for his years of development and huge reserves, he would have been unable to persist.

Even so, it costs a lot and can't be used endlessly.

The war is not over.

He must have some reservation, and can't be used on a large scale. Good steel should be used on the blade!Sometimes it's not a good thing to win a series of big victories. If the morale is high and goes to extremes, they will become proud soldiers.

Wang Kang should kill this trend in time!

"I know you all have a strong will to fight, but I have another plan," he said

"Changning City is the capital of hengguo. There are a lot of residents in Changning City. Xiang Tai, the king of hengguo, has been benevolent and won the support of the people. They have suffered a great defeat. Attacking the city at this time will inspire the residents to be determined to defend the city and attack it by force, which is not good for our army."

Wang Kang said, "at the beginning of the war, I always stressed that we should be wise and never attack by force. Our troops are limited and should be cherished. But do you understand?"

Only when the generals were thoughtful could they understand Wang Kang's painstaking efforts.

The Chu army was defeated one after another and was constantly consumed because they could afford to lose, but they could not.

If the reduction is serious, the war will not continue.

"But shall we not attack the city?"

An objection was raised.

"Of course not."

Wang Kang says: "tentative strategy, encircle but do not hit!"

"At the end of this war, we take the initiative, and the enemy is more anxious than us. They should understand that Changning is not defensible. It's just a matter of time, so I think they will abandon the city and break through!"

"I see. You want to wait for them to break through before we intercept and attack again!"

"Yes and no."

Wang Kang said: "comparatively speaking, what I value more is the people of Changning City..."

"What's the answer?"

People are more confused.

Wang Kang said in a deep voice: "I have said for a long time that Chu has a huge territory. We can't capture every land, so we must make use of their internal social contradictions."

"Heng state is a different kind of Chu state, which is mainly due to the ruling style of Xiang Tai, the king of Heng. He is popular with the people. When he abandons the city and runs away, the people in that city will be desperate. We can take the opportunity to win over the people!"

"Just like Gaoyi City, once we succeed, we will win the name of benevolence and righteousness. Then we will fight better and get twice the result with half the effort. Comparatively speaking, this is more meaningful than killing the enemy!"

These words make people feel thoughtful.

They knew this view before. It seems that the commander wants to play a big game!

Wang Kang said: "and I'm waiting for a message, or a person's attitude..."
