Chapter 291 Westward Expedition
He used Fang Qiong to point out the country and to describe Xu Fan. However, after such a moment, he had seen through Zhu's intention to march and came up with a way to deal with it.
Although Yang Fanhai had commanded the battle between the Great Wall and the Guifang tribe and used strategies to siege and cut off the opponent's retreat, it was only that. Compared with Xu Fan, he became a barbarian.
If it weren't for the fact that Gongsun Xuanyuan had to nod, Yang Fanhai would have been applauding directly.
Looking at the map, Gongsun Xuanyuan did not nod, but thought carefully. After a while, he said: "What Xu Junshi said is true, but in my opinion, Zhu Guo will definitely choose to rush to help. Penglai has been choosing to manipulate behind the scenes for so many years. It seems to be a strategy, but in fact it lacks the courage to take a gamble."
"Once the situation you said happens, there are too many variable things, which may lead to chaos in Kyushu. If we don't care, there may be another way out to win in chaos. Anyway, the Bear Kingdom has also gone from scratch."
"But Penglai's no, they can't afford to lose. Once the Jiuzhou is in chaos, their arrangements for so many years will be wasted. Once the human race is unified in our hands, or the witch race becomes more powerful, it will be extremely difficult for them to penetrate Jiuzhou in such a silent way."
"Now the Xiong Kingdom is hard to let them use their means. Zhu Kingdom is their final foundation. They will never let Zhu Kingdom surprise. As long as you break through the defense line, they will definitely mobilize a large army to rush to aid."
This... what Gongsun Xuanyuan said seemed to make sense. Yang Fanhai suddenly felt that it would be better to shut up in such an occasion, just listen to the analysis of the two.
Xu Fan looked at the map, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "What the Second Prince said is reasonable, I must be of great insight, so please explain."
Gongsun Xuanyuan pointed to the southern part of Yuzhou on the map and said, "I will not mobilize the army of the South Camp. The battle between Zhu and Youxiong is ultimately a civil war between the human race. No matter what the result is, the winner will always be the human race. Once the army of the South Camp is mobilized, with Chiyou's character, he will definitely rush his army northward. At that time, he will probably reap the benefits of the fisherman. This is not what I want to see."
Yang Fanhai nodded. He thought so too. No matter what, he must not let the witch clan enter the hinterland of the human race.
Gongsun Xuanyuan pointed to the junction of Qingzhou and Yanzhou and said, "I will station the army here and send scouts to explore information. If the Zhu army does not retreat, I will retreat to Yuzhou. If the Zhu army retreats, our army will advance to force the Zhu national defense line."
He pointed to the Jizhou area and said, "Yang Fanhai led his army westward. After breaking the pass, he marched towards the capital of Zhu State first. If Zhu State does not return to help, he will march directly to Huanglong. If Zhu State returns to help..."
He stared at the map, took a deep breath, and did not point back to Youxiong Kingdom, but said to the northern part of Jizhou: "If Zhu Kingdom returns to help, you will attack Zhu Guodu, but in fact you will be killing Jinyang City in northern Jizhou. At that time, the Yanzhou army will break through the Jizhou defense line and march towards Jinyang."
"Ah!" Yang Fanhai was stunned. Such a strategy was really surprising. It was a desperate way to play.
Xu Fan frowned and looked at Gongsun Xuanyuan and said, "The Second Prince is extremely risky!"
"This risk must be taken, and it is worth taking it!" Gongsun Xuanyuan said with a solemn expression: "The Zhu Kingdom is in name only. It is said to be the capital of the human race, but it has been controlled by the immortal race. In addition to the southern witch clan, it will be a three-legged tripod at that time."
Xu Fan shook his head slightly and said, "The three-legged tripod seems to be shrinking, but it is also more stable. With the ability of His Highness the Second Prince, he works hard to govern and recruit talents. He may not be unable to recover lost territory in the future. Why take such a risk?"
Gongsun Xuanyuan smiled faintly: "Although I will not underestimate myself, I will never be arrogant. Not to mention that the immortal clan has a stable foundation and a deep foundation, I have no confidence in winning the witch clan alone. Yang Fanhai and I have seen Chiyou. That lich is not good, and the witch clan he leads will be stronger than you expected."
"The human race is the general trend this time. It is better to have short pain than long pain. Since Zhu State has sent troops, it will be solved at one time."
He took a hard shot of the map and said in a deep voice: "Although the world is big, the place where the attack on the human race is retreating is not big. Jiuzhou is the ancestral land, how can we give up again and again? I have decided that the place for the decisive battle is in Jinyang, the human race belongs, and the battle will determine the country."
"good!"
Before Xu Fan asked more questions, Yang Fanhai had already agreed. He made a concerted effort and declined again, and died three times. Gongsun Xuanyuan had such a heroic spirit and bet on the country. He was a martial artist, so he had no reason to be a mother-in-law.
Seeing that Yang Fanhai said the same thing, Xu Fan finally stopped talking and just nodded and said, "Then let it be!"
Gongsun Xuanyuan collected the map and bowed to Xu Fan: "There is something that we must trouble Military Advisor Xu."
Xu Fan glared at his eyes and said in surprise: "What's the matter?"
With the other party’s identity and the situation in the bear country, it is no small matter to perform such a big gift.
Gongsun Xuanyuan sighed: "The situation is now chaotic, and my talents are limited. The situation in the Nanying is urgent and I cannot escape. Yang Fanhai led the army to the west. Before I come back, the army of Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou needs a person who can be saved. After thinking about it, only a gentleman can do it."
"Me!" Xu Fan widened his eyes and looked at Yang Fanhai again, looking reluctant.
Knowing that this guy hoped he would refuse, although Xu Fan was very capable, he was obviously a guy who was unwilling to take too much responsibility. He could ask him to give advice and train troops to lead the army, but he would have to take such a big responsibility as he was responsible for all the matters of the army, so he naturally didn't want to.
But as Gongsun Xuanyuan said, at this moment, there was no other choice. Although Xu Fan has always regarded himself as his military advisor, he was in command of many wars he experienced, especially in the Battle of Qingzhou, where he established more prestige than himself.
The main force of the army in Yanzhou direction was Xu Fan's command, and he was absolutely in charge, so he could only let him pass. He could only pat his shoulder: "Anyway, the danger is in my direction. You just need to lead the army and don't let them collapse."
Both of them made the decision, and Xu Fan could not say anything anymore, so he could only agree.
Yang Fanhai said again: "The snake cannot do without a head. Now the king and the prince are both dead. His Highness should inherit the throne immediately. This way, he will become more famous when issuing orders."
Gongsun Xuanyuan nodded: "I will prepare for this matter immediately and I will do it tomorrow. But the soldiers are very fast, and there is too much decision in one day. If you ask someone to integrate the army outside the city and set off immediately. Military advisor Xu will immediately lead people north to mobilize troops from all over the country. We have not much time left."
"As for order!" Yang Fanhai did not refuse.
Xu Fan sighed and said to Yang Fanhai: "You are here...I'll help you integrate the army."
After saying that, he got off the city gate and headed out of the city.
Gongsun Xuanyuan also patted Yang Fanhai on the shoulder and said to Princess Jingwei: "Princess, please follow me, and there are still some things to discuss with you."
He walked to Gongsun Shaodian's body, sighed, picked it up and walked down the city gate. When the two of them also went down, there were only two princess Yang Fanhai and Jinglu left on the city gate.
Looking at Yang Fanhai, Princess Jinglu's eyes were slightly red. She wanted to say something, but she wanted to say something but stopped.
Yang Fanhai also understood what Xu Fan and Gongsun Xuanyuan meant, so he naturally wanted to give in to Princess Jinglu and then send troops to the west.
After experiencing wars, the royal family of Ji Kingdom was no longer there. Princess Jinglu had only one relative of Duke Ji Kingdom. Now that Duke Ji Kingdom has died, she is at a time of fragility and pain in her heart. I am afraid she is already her only support.
Looking from the perspective of others, Princess Jinglu probably was extremely reluctant to leave herself at this moment. But the military orders were like mountains, and she could not refuse in front of such a situation.
Looking at Princess Jinglu's look of being reluctant to speak, Yang Fanhai smiled slightly: "Princess, I'm going to go to war again."
"Yeah!" Princess Jinglu responded, lowered her head, and then looked up at Yang Fanhai and smiled slightly: "Baoping is ruthless, be outside, be careful and take good care of yourself..."
There were tears in my eyes that I couldn't help but shed, but I didn't want them to shed, but unfortunately the tears couldn't be held back, and eventually they slid down the corners of my eyes.
The pear blossoms were filled with rain, and her weak appearance made Yang Fanhai feel trembling. He couldn't help but reach out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Wow!"
Princess Jinglu finally couldn't help it anymore and threw herself into Yang Fanhai's arms and started crying loudly.
The Ji Kingdom was destroyed, and she went from a proud daughter to a princess of a fallen country. Although life had changed a lot, Duke Ji Kingdom and Yang Fanhai were both around, so there was no big problem.
But now that Ji Duke has died, Yang Fanhai is going to go to war again, and he cannot go with him. Suddenly, it seems that he is the only one in the world, and he feels extremely uncomfortable.
Yang Fanhai didn't know how to comfort him. He just waited for Princess Jinglu to cry for a while before patting her back gently and said, "Princess, birth, old age, sickness and death are irresistible. Even if he is a practitioner, there is no immortal person. The king is just leaving first. You should be mournful, don't be too sad."
"I originally wanted to resign today and live in seclusion between mountains and rivers, but unfortunately, the current situation is not up to me. This battle is related to the country of Xiong Kingdom and the future of the human race. I have no choice but to be responsible for the general of Xiong Kingdom's conquest of the North."
"I understand!" Princess Jinglu nodded gently: "I won't stop you, I will wait for you here, you must come back!"
"Of course, I will definitely come back!"
Yang Fanhai smiled slightly and looked into the distance. The sun passed by the sky, and the setting sun was approaching. The sky was bright red, as if it was covered with blood. The war began again, and no one knew how many people could never go home this time.
He was speechless for a moment and looked quietly in the distance until Xu Fan integrated the army outside the city gate.
"Princess, take care of yourself!"
