Chapter 1715： Huo Qubing Army

Now everyone's eyes are focused on Nangong Rong.

It depends on whether Nangong Rong has this confidence in Zu Zhi, and he is sure that Zu Zhi will not betray the Ice and Snow Dynasty.

Nangongrong was silent for a full quarter of an hour before he said: "Peng Yinrong, is there any doubt about the defeat of the ancestor Zhi Dongbo in the battle last time."

When Ding Song and Zou Ling heard this, their expressions changed instantly.

"This..." Peng Yinrong hesitated too.

"Say!" Nangong Rong said solemnly.

"But there are doubts." Peng Yinrong replied: "General Zu Zhi was defeated too quickly, and he was defeated even without a chance to resist. This should not be the fighting power of millions of troops."

"In addition, there are a large number of crossbows in the army, all kinds of cooperation, the combat effectiveness is very strong, even if Huo Qubing is a cavalry general of the top general level, should not be defeated so fast."

"Plus, when General Zu Zhi just led his troops out of the Dongbo Mountains, he ran into Huo Qubing's cavalry, which is also a bit strange."

"These two points are the suspicious points in the battle of the Dongbo Mountains."

"Your Majesty, General Zu Zhi has always been loyal to the Ice and Snow Dynasty, absolutely no dissent!" Ding Song said immediately after Peng Yinrong finished speaking.

"Your Majesty, General Zuzhi is not only himself loyal to the dynasty. His ancestors are also military commanders of the Ice and Snow Dynasty for three generations. He is loyal to the dynasty and has never been two-minded. Don't doubt him just because of a momentary defeat and some inexplicable things. !" Zou Ling also hurriedly said.

"Alright." Nangong Rong sighed lightly, and said, "I never doubted General Zu Zhi's loyalty to the dynasty, but the problem is that the current battle is very important to the Ice and Snow Dynasty."

"It can even be said that the survival of the Ice and Snow Dynasty depends on this battle."

"For such a crucial battle, if we are a military commander who has absolutely no problems, only then can we lead the dynasty army to defeat the people of the Ice and Snow Dynasty."

"Ugh!"

With a long sigh, Nangong Rong said: "It's not that I don't believe in General Zu Zhi, but the current situation. I must have a General Zu Zhi who has absolutely no problems."

"At this stage, let Peng Aiqing check General Zu Zhi first and use him after making sure that there is no problem."

"I believe that General Zu Zhi knows my intentions and will agree to it."

Ding Song and Zou Ling were silent.

Naturally, they didn't want this in their hearts, but as the prime ministers of the Ice and Snow Dynasty, they could understand what Nangong Rong meant.

This battle is too critical, and there can be no problems in reusing the general.

Vigilance is a must.

Ugh!

Both of them sighed in their hearts. If it weren't for those five counties, two of the three generals would have chilled, and the current Ice and Snow Dynasty would not have no other choice.

"You can't use Zu Zhi, two prime ministers for the time being, tell me, besides Zu Zhi, who else can lead soldiers now?" Nangong Rong asked Ding Song and Zou Ling.

Ding Song pondered slightly, and said: "I want to come to the Ice and Snow Dynasty to be strong, but there are not many generals at the level of General Zuzhi, and there are not many Ice and Snow Dynasty. At this stage, only the Forbidden Army commander is available.

"Full spin!"

Nangong Rong groaned slightly, and said: "Send the order to Quanxuan, so that he will lead the three armies of the Western Territory to Xiping City immediately, and must block the attack of Meng Tian's army."

"At the same time, send orders to the Northern Jiedu and the Southern Jiedu, so that they can defend themselves."

Nangongrong’s order made Ding Song and Zou Ling both stunned: "Your Majesty won’t let Quanxuan command the entire army?"

"This person Quanxuan, I know, has the ability, but it is a bit difficult for him to command the whole army. I will do this for the time being, and wait until Peng Yinrong has found out about Zu Zhi, and then talk about the follow-up." Nangong Rong said.

"Yes!"

Ding Song and Zou Ling took the lead.

"Peng Aiqing, you have to speed up here!" Nangongrong looked at Peng Yinrong and said.

"Your Majesty can rest assured, the minister will find out the origin of this matter in the shortest time." Peng Yinrong responded.

"That's great."

Nangongrong nodded and said, "Go down and do things!"

"Yes!"

The three of Ding Song retired.

...

"My lord, according to the news from the Ice and Snow Dynasty imperial palace, Nangong Rong did not use Zu Zhi, but instead sent Peng Yinrong to investigate whether it was related to our Nanyan Dynasty."

In the ice and snow city, where Jinyiweidiwei was hiding, news from the imperial palace was immediately spread.

"Unexpectedly." Lingyu chuckled lightly and said: "Follow the plan and give them some evidence so that they can doubt Zu Zhi."

"Yes!"

...

"General, Xiping City is ahead."

On the other side, Huo Qubing led two million cavalry to the front of Xiping City.

"What's the situation in Xiping City now?" Huo Qubing asked.

"According to the information returned by our spies, there used to be 150,000 defenders in Xiping City, plus the defeated troops at Lan Suiguan behind, there are now more than 300,000 defenders in Xiping City."

"Guardian Lan Sui is now the Guardian of Xiping City." The soldiers replied.

"General, let me lead the army to attack the city, and my subordinates promise to take down Xiping City within one day!" The lieutenant asked for orders immediately.

"No need."

Huo Qubing looked at Xiping City and said, "Is it clear that the enemy's reinforcements have arrived?"

"According to intelligence, the enemy has two million reinforcements coming, and it should be in Xiping City within three days."

"it is good!"

Huo Qubing nodded, and said, "As the order goes on, the army spread out and surrounded Xiping City on all sides, but remember, only besiege and not attack!"

"General, do you want to fight for aid?" The lieutenant instantly understood Huo Qubing's thoughts.

"The most desperate thing for a city defender is not that the city is broken, but that they have no reinforcements." Huo Qubing said: "Those defenders in Xiping City, with reinforcements, will definitely defend the city desperately. We are all cavalry, siege is not what we are good at, there is no need to forcibly siege the city, just hit their reinforcements."

"But General, we want to bypass Xiping City to attack their reinforcements, and we need at least 300,000 cavalry."

"With such a large-scale military movement, the enemy can definitely guess it," the lieutenant said.

"Who said it was only to mobilize 300,000 troops?" Huo Qubing smiled.

"Don't use 300,000 troops?" The lieutenant was stunned and said: "General, what do you mean by this?"

"Do you want to lead fewer troops to deal with enemy reinforcements?"

The lieutenant was really puzzled. If he faced the armies of other dynasties, he could indeed deal with the enemy's two million reinforcements with fewer cavalry.

But the Ice and Snow Dynasty is not good. The Ice and Snow Dynasty is the second most powerful existence among the top ten dynasties, but it is not ranked by martial arts strength.

Rather, this ranking is based on absolute military strength and general ability.

Wanting to deal with the ice and snow dynasty's army of more than two million with a number of less than thirty cavalry, this is really a bit too despised and too risky.

"Naturally not with fewer troops to fight the enemy, I want to lead 1.5 million troops to deal with the enemy's reinforcements." Huo Qubing smiled.

The lieutenant was even more confused.
