"Could it be false news they released?"
Zhao Yan smiled contemptuously and said: "No, the old emperor thought it was the King of Jin who was jealous of Shen Tu and issued a fatwa, and even He also sent people to disrupt Li Han's pursuit and let Shentu go. He never expected that Shentu would actually get their city defense map during the two years he was in Jinyun. This was all thanks to the old emperor. Hehe, if he could one day. After learning the truth, I'm afraid my intestines will turn green with regret."
Zhao Yu frowned and said, "Even if there is a city defense map, our army is facing the Huben Army, the leader of Jinyun's four armies. , a surprise attack may be effective, but if we want to capture Jinyang at the minimum cost, we must mobilize an army of 800,000 to attack the city. Otherwise, even if we can win, our army will definitely win miserably."
Zhao Yanxiao. Said: "Now is not the time to attack Jinyang. Although the old emperor is fatuous, the national strength is still there. If we capture Jinyang now, we will definitely become a thorn in his side. If the whole country attacks us, even if they fail in the end, they will It slows down the progress of our army and gives an advantage to the State of Chu. I want half of your troops to contain Jinyang, and half of your troops to attack Zhengping County. After taking Zhengping County, you can use it as a stronghold and build a road so that our army does not have to pass through Jinyang. It's like a sharp sword thrust into the enemy's heartland. Our army can advance, attack, retreat or defend, and great things can be accomplished."
Zhao Yu knew that what Zhao Yan said was very possible. He had not known that in the past. The actual situation in Jinyang City made it impossible to effectively avoid the Huben Army's attack, so a surprise attack on Zhengping County was just a thought. Now that we know the various military equipment, garrison locations, and even the speed of defense changes in Jinyang City, we all know who the generals are. This plan is feasible just to avoid Jinyang and attack Zhengping by surprise. But Zhao Yu didn't think that Zhao Hen would give him any chance to make meritorious deeds.
At this time, the Wang family's rebellion had just been eliminated, and the operation of the court still needed some time to adjust. The sequelae of the extermination of the Wang family were still there, and the national power was declining. Even if Jinyun was to be attacked, it was still a bit too late. Early, maybe it would be better to wait a year longer. But there is also a saying that soldiers are valuable and quick. At this time, the leader of the Tiger Army, King Jin, is still in exile in Yu County. It is difficult to say whether he will be activated in a year. If he doesn't bite Li Yixian while the old emperor is distracted, They said that Jinyang's city defense map might be changed at some point.
The city defense map is hidden in the Ministry of War, and the place where the Ministry of War handles business is also in the imperial city. Thanks to the help of the Three God Mountains and the black-robed man, he was able to walk in various ministries with the permission of Emperor Yan Ping. Of course, if the city defense map was lost, the Ministry of War would know it immediately, so Shen Tuxu drew the Jinyang city defense map from memory during many night visits.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that this matter is very reasonable.
"The second brother frowned, but there are still doubts in his mind?"
Zhao Yu shook his head and said: "Brother Huang is thoughtful and I admire him and am willing to encourage him. "
Zhao Yan was overjoyed and patted Zhao Yu on the shoulder and said: "Haha, I knew that this matter must be done by you, so you can set off in three days without further ado."
"Yes."
Zhao Yu left with deep thoughts. Zhao Yan looked at Zhao Yu's back with that enigmatic look that made people wonder what he was thinking.
Back at the palace, Zhao Yu told Wang Shimian about the matter. Wang Shimian, who was still wearing mourning clothes, just frowned slightly, obviously like Zhao Yu, he never believed Zhao Hen's words.
"I'm afraid something might happen when I go to Ganyang, so I'll go with you."

Zhao Yu said understandingly: "The family has suffered such a big change. I think my uncle must have a lot of things to deal with. I'd better go to Ganyang by myself."
Although Wang Shimian His face was haggard, but the perseverance between his brows was still as strong as ever.
"The women and children of the Wang family were exiled to the newly developed Northland. Although it is desolate and barren, they should feel more comfortable without the enemies of the Wang family there. The roads have also been prepared, and they They won't have to endure any hardships, and there will be people to support them when they get to the North."
Wang Shimian has already bought fields and houses there in advance, so that once the Wang family members arrive there, they will have a place to live and have things to do. Eat, the new governor of the Northland is an old friend of him. Although he can't stand the Wang family's domineering behavior, he will not embarrass the down-and-out Wang family members.
Wang Shimian has done the best he can. As for their future life, it still depends on them. He can help for a while, but he cannot help forever.
Wang Shimian watched Zhao Yu grow up. It was not that Wang Shimian did not understand the meaning of many things, but he was just pretending to be confused. Zhao Yu was not wrong. This country was originally his, but in the end he was so depressed that he was stationed in Ganyang and had to be monitored by Wang's people. Wang Shimian would naturally sympathize with his nephew. The two have been together for more than ten years, and their relationship is extraordinary.
Zhao Yu sighed deeply and said, "It seems that we can no longer hunt, drink, and sleep in."
Wang Shimian frowned, "You are the prince, and you represent How can the royal family show its dignity by thinking about cheating and cheating all day long?"
Zhao Yu shrugged. After so many years, he has become much thicker than he has done anything else.
In late March of the 16th year of Jingyuan, soldiers with wailing clouds began to appear around Jinyang City. The alert soldiers of the Huben Army immediately passed the news to the superiors, and finally the news reached Le Weisheng and Fu Liang heard that Zhang Guang happened to be in the military camp at this time, and the three of them gathered together to discuss the matter.
Fu Liang said loudly: "What's this? Isn't it just the shadow of a few enemy soldiers? What's so scary? Maybe I got lost during training, and you guys just like to make a fuss. "
Zhang Guang twitched the corner of his mouth, stroked his beard, ignored him, and said, "Let's report this to Cheng Min first and see how he handles it."
Cheng Min, Cheng Guifei's cousin, is undoubtedly in the lineage of Cheng Guifei. He can't be said to be good or bad. His qualifications are average and he barely got a Jinshi. He is the cultural representative of the Cheng family.The person with the highest degree of knowledge has some knowledge. But, not military. Thinking about it, the Cheng family never thought that they would one day become prosperous. The highest-ranking official in the Cheng family was Cheng Yuan, the deceased governor of Qianzhou, and the rest were mediocre in their own little world. If you are domineering and domineering inside, how can you withstand the test of war?
Things in the world are unpredictable, and they did not expect that one person would achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven. Thanks to the blessing of Concubine Cheng, they were also favored by Emperor Yan Ping. Emperor Yan Ping knew very well that if he wanted King Liang to succeed to the throne, he must have military power in his hands, so he took the opportunity to send people to the Fourth Army, and always gave them the position of commander-in-chief to practice. Sure enough, no real talent can be learned as quickly as having a good background, but if it is not good, it will die quickly.
