Chapter 963 Absolutely Feasible
Si Xiuyong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please ask whatever you want to know. I will tell you everything I know."
Ning Chen nodded slightly, and then asked: "Let's talk about the deployment of troops in Bianzhou first."
"Yes!" Si Xiuyong thought for a while and said: "Leng Wenyan has a total of 140,000 troops. This time, a total of two groups of troops were sent, one is us, and the other is in the Wangfeng Mountains."
Ning Chen frowned, "You want to defeat this king with such a small number of people?"
Si Xiuyong said: "Our goal is not to defeat the prince, but to delay time.
Xi The Liang camp sent troops to help. Our goal is to hold the prince back until the Xiliang reinforcements arrive. "
Ning Chen frowned slightly, "How long will it take for the Xiliang reinforcements to arrive?"
Si Xiuyong said: "It is agreed that it will take more than 20 days. As long as we hold you here for a few days, we can wait for the Xiliang reinforcements to arrive.
But the sudden heavy snowfall must have slowed down the marching speed of the Xiliang reinforcements.
The prince took a detour, and now it is difficult to march. I am afraid that when he arrives in Bianzhou, the Xiliang army will also arrive. "
Ning Chen asked in a deep voice: "How many troops did Xiliang send?"
"One hundred thousand. "
Ning Chen sneered, "Xiliang is really willing to do so. A small country is willing to send so many troops to support Leng Wenyan... It seems that Xiliang values Leng Wenyan very much?"
Si Xiuyong said: "Xiliang does not value Leng Wenyan, but the territory of my Great Xuan... The land of Great Xuan is fertile. If Xiliang occupies the western part of my Great Xuan, the national strength will definitely be several times stronger."
Ning Chen snorted coldly, "When will expanding territory become the kingly way? Since ancient times, excessive military spending has been a disaster.
Although Xiliang has developed well in the past two years, it is a small country after all. Excessive military spending is looking for Death.
So, with the support of the Xiliang army, Leng Wenyan has 200,000 troops? "
Si Xiuyong said: "It's 220,000. We will divide our troops into two groups this time, with 20,000 troops in each group.
The snow covered the Wangfeng Mountains, and the prince couldn't cross them, so the troops that blocked the prince there should have withdrawn.
In order to deal with you, the prince, Leng Wenyan transferred all 30,000 soldiers of the archery camp to the east gate of Bianzhou City... Although the prince has firearms, it is not easy for the prince to break through the city gate with 30,000 archers. "
Ning Chen's eyes were cold.
I'm afraid there are more than 30,000 archers, Si Xiuyong forgot to count the archers of Xiliang.
Under the rain of arrows, even if the city gate was broken, he would suffer heavy casualties.
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes flickered.
Suddenly, Ning Chen looked at Si Xiuyong, "General Si, can you act?"
"Ah?"
Ning Chen smiled and said, "I heard from Niu Erwang that all your family members are in Leng Wenyan's hands?"
Si Xiuyong nodded, "Yes!"
Ning Chen smiled and said, "I believe you followed Leng Wenyan in the rebellion because you had no choice... Do you want to save your family?"
Si Xiuyong said without hesitation, "Yes!"
Ning Chen said, "Leng Wenyan doesn't know that you are defeated now, this is an opportunity for us!
If you do as I say, your The family should be able to survive."
Si Xiuyong hurriedly stood up and knelt on one knee, "Everything is subject to the prince's orders!"
Ning Chen patted his shoulder, "Come on, come on, sit down and talk!
So, I will let Ning Anjun pretend to be the people you brought...I will lead the army to chase and kill them, and you will flee all the way back to Bianzhou."
Si Xiuyong was stunned. Ning Chen's idea was too bold. Once Leng Wenyan saw through it, it would be like closing the door to fight the dog...Even if Ning Anjun was strong in combat, facing the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops, I am afraid that they would all die in Bianzhou.
Ning Chen continued, "I have already thought of the reason for you.
You and Ruan Wei led the army, occupied the commanding heights, and blocked me with rolling stones and wooden logs for two days.
Later, I found the way to the mountain, and you were defeated and had to withdraw. I chased you all the way... What do you think of this reason?"
Si Xiuyong's eyes widened, "Your Highness, this plan is very good... But even if there is no Xiliang army, Bianzhou already has 120,000 troops. Once Leng Wenyan sees through it, the Ning'an army, no matter how brave it is, is no match for the 120,000 troops."
Ning Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, you can't see Leng Wenyan... You just need to trick the city gate open."
Si Xiuyong didn't understand and looked confused.
Ning Chen patted his shoulder and said, "Detailed plan, I will tell you in detail when Yuan Long and the others come.
If we can trick the city gate open, speed is of the essence, Leng Wenyan can't take care of your family, and they can survive.
If we can't trick the city gate open, it doesn't matter, I will find another way."
Si Xiuyong had a question mark on his forehead, not understanding what Ning Chen was up to?
Ning Chen smiled and said, "Okay, General Si has worked hard all night, take a good rest first, I will find you if there is anything."
After saying that, Ning Chen shouted to the outside: "Old Pan, come in!"
Pan Yucheng walked in in response.
"Old Pan, take General Si down to rest... Let someone prepare food for General Si, don't neglect it!"
"Yes!" Pan Yucheng immediately understood what Ning Chen meant, which was to let him keep an eye on Si Xiuyong, "General Si, please follow me!"
Si Xiuyong looked at Pan Yucheng with a puzzled look and left.
Ning Chen looked at Feng Qizhen who was drowsy beside him, "Old Feng, go back and have a good rest!"
When he was talking to Si Xiuyong just now, Feng Qizhen was sitting next to him and dozing off... He must be exhausted after fighting all night. If he hadn't been on guard against Si Xiuyong, he would have probably fallen asleep while sitting.
Feng Qizhen rubbed his eyes, "I'm not tired, are we going to march?"
"No marching today, go back and have a rest!"
Feng Qizheng said "oh", stood up and walked away in a daze.
Ning Chen shook his head and laughed, then called a soldier in and asked him to inform Yuan Long to take a rest after finishing his work, and there would be no march today.
Ning Chen also stayed up all night, and his head was dizzy... He walked over and slept directly with his clothes on.
When he woke up, it was already evening.
Ning Chen opened his eyes and saw Xiao Yanxi adding wood to the charcoal basin.
He woke up when Xiao Yanxi came in, but fell asleep again with peace of mind.
Ning Chen sat up and stretched.
Xiao Yanxi heard the movement and looked back, "Awake?"
Ning Chen hummed.
Xiao Yanxi poured a cup of hot tea and brought it over, "Drink some tea first, I'll have someone prepare something for you."
Ning Chen nodded. He hadn't eaten for a day and was indeed hungry.
He drank two sips of tea, poured the remaining tea on his hands, washed his eyes, rubbed his eye mucus, and made himself completely sober.
However, he shouted outside: "Someone come!"
A soldier walked in.
Ning Chen said: "Go, let Yuan Long and Lei An come to see me."
"Yes!"
While Ning Chen was eating, Yuan Long and Lei An came.
"Have you eaten?"
The two nodded, "Your Highness, we have eaten!"
Ning Chen pointed to the straw mat opposite the charcoal basin, "Sit down and talk!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
After the two sat down, Ning Chen told his plan while eating.
"Do you think this plan is feasible?"
The two nodded repeatedly, and Yuan Long said: "Your Highness, this plan is very good!"
Lei An said: "Absolutely feasible!"
