Li Ling was stunned at first, and then he understood: "It turns out that the prince had already made plans against the enemy in the morning, and he had even mobilized other troops to circumnavigate and cut off his way back? And Yingzhou is a piece of bait you prepared for them. In order to hold them back, we can arrange it calmly?"

Sun Bi had nothing to hide in front of Li Ling, and nodded immediately: "You are half right. As early as when I took over the seal of the Three Army Commander, I had already had a preliminary idea. At the same time, I had carefully explained my strategy to my father and received his permission."

Li Ling nodded, then he thought of one thing, why it had been a month since this had passed, and the court did not even urge him, and even those censors who had been asking for mistakes all day long impeached Sun Bi for delaying the fighter. It turned out that it was not that they did not impeach, but that these bullet stamps were kept by the emperor and stopped being sent.

But then, he thought of another point: "I only said half of it, but what is the answer?"

"Yingzhou can only be regarded as a scale. The real bait is Youzhou and me, the commander of the three armies of the Great Yue!" Sun Bi said solemnly, "My ultimate goal is to lead them to Youzhou and fight with them in order to achieve their contributions!"

"Ah..." Li Ling suddenly changed color, "Prince, is this too risky? Now that Gui Rong combines the power of the tribes, it is even more powerful after entering the Central Plains, which is completely different from the enemy that invaded the past. You are planning to fight head-on, which is too dangerous, right?"

"How can I get a tiger's son if I don't enter the tiger's den? If Youzhou and I were bait, how could Guirong take the initiative to attack? You also said that Guirong today is very different from the past. If we cannot have a heavy blow in one battle, it will definitely lead to greater disasters in the future. He can defeat our Xuanzhou Yingzhou today, and will fight our Bazhou Jizhou tomorrow, and then Chongzhou Yunzhou... When these important towns in the northern border fall one by one, when our border soldiers are all injured and injured, the Central Plains will open and no one can stop them.

"The most fatal thing is that they have always had the initiative to fight and not fight. No matter how many of our Great Vietnamese border troops have, they can only defend passively. Even if they can retreat again and again, they will not be able to return the lost people and property. Over time, I will reduce one point and the enemy will be stronger. One day, the strength of strength will reverse. This is definitely not what I hope to see.

"Since they want to cut their flesh with a blunt knife, I will force them to fight to the decisive battle. Even if they take some risks and will cause great damage, they will still win in one battle and eliminate future troubles!"

Li Ling was silent and thought for a while. He had to say that Sun Bi's strategy was quite correct. Only a thousand days of thieves can be used to defend against thieves? So if you want to find the right opportunity to fight the enemy, you can do it once and for all. But the question is: "Your Majesty, although the Guirong people are cruel and aggressive, they are not stupid. Will they not see through what we can think of? Will they really fall into the trap to attack?"

"If it were in the past, I was not sure, but this time, it was different."

“Where is different?”

"My opponent, the real commander of Gui Rong's army, that is, the current lord of the grassland tribes, Gui Rong Khan Tie Lezhen, is stronger than any grassland overlord in the past century. At the same time, his ambition is stronger than any previous grassland master. What he wants is not just a monumental grassland, but the whole world! So as long as I give him a chance to take advantage of the situation and go south to the Central Plains, he will definitely not let it go!"

"Temujin?!" Li Ling was shocked suddenly. History had changed too much. Will the terrible conqueror appear? But then, he woke up again. What Sun Bi was talking about was not what he thought, but "Telezhen" with a word difference.

But even so, his worries are still numerous. The situation in the border area is more dangerous and complicated than he thought.

Allah, who has only met once in a few hundred years, really appeared on the grassland. Since he can unify the Mobei grassland that has been divided for a hundred years, his methods, strategies and character must be rare in the world. And this time, Sun Bi will compete with him. Is there really a chance of winning?

However, he did not say these worries after all, and he kept telling himself in his heart that Tielezhen was not Temujin. Even if he unified the Guirong tribes, he might not be able to become Genghis Khan in the original history.

And more importantly, the Dayue today is not a weak Southern Song Dynasty that was only in a corner and survived. Especially the military and horse generals, they were not comparable to Zhao Song, who valued literature and neglected military affairs.

Seeing that he was silent, Sun Bi only thought that Na Tielezhen was a human being, so he said again: "According to the situation found by the spies in the front army, although Na Tielezhen relied on the Wei tribe to conquer all directions and almost unified the entire Mobei grassland, in fact, the Guirong tribe that he forcibly tied together still had a large crack. In other words, he, who had just achieved unity, had not been able to truly make the tribes recognize their status as the common ruler of the grassland. Each tribe was only taken by its threat of force, and had to temporarily obey its orders.

"This is his biggest hidden danger now. If you want to eliminate this hidden danger, Tie Lezhen must continue to expand his external results. This invasion of the Central Plains is for this reason. If he can lead the crowd to capture Youzhou this time, capture and kill me, the commander of the three armies of the Great Yue, or even go further, and lead the Guirong army into the Central Plains... Even if he cannot truly capture the world of the Central Plains, as long as he can fight near Luoyang and force the court to sign the city alliance like the Song people in the past, his prestige will reach its peak, and then his position as Guirong Khan will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai!"

Only then did Li Ling understand everything, know why Sun Bi had such a risky move, and concluded that the other party would definitely attack Youzhou as he imagined and fight him straight to him after taking Yingzhou. This was not only a judgment of the situation, but also an understanding of the enemy commander.

Sun Bi's expression became even more serious: "Of course, I have no certainty to win this battle. Although we have taken advantage of the time and place, the momentum of Guirong's invasion this time is amazing, far exceeding any time in a century. I can only say that I can fight with it with all my might. The only thing I can count on is that the two armies of Jinzhou and Jizhou can take a detour to the enemy's rear as I said, and cooperate with us to completely surround them here.

"It just takes some time to achieve this. Therefore, Yingzhou needs to continue to defend. If you can delay it for a day, you will give me enough time for the army!

"But judging from the current situation, it seems that this strategy will come true soon. Because I have received the military report, in another five days, Gong Gong Wang led 50,000 Jinzhou elite cavalry to cross the grassland and appear on the Guirong's retreat. Yue Lin from Jizhou will also arrive at the preset position in seven or eight days. Then, the two armies can form a horn to pinch the Guirong's entire retreat, and work with us to defeat Guirong!"

When Li Ling heard this, his originally worried mood suddenly relaxed: "So, is Dasheng near?"

"That won't be that even if they get into my trap, it will still be a long-lasting decisive battle, and it will take at least one or two months to fight hard. So you can't let me down the logistical support for the next time."

"Don't worry, my grandfather, I have made corresponding arrangements. I dare not say that there will be more military rations and materials transfers within three months will not be any mistakes. If there is any problem, I am willing to pay the blame."

"Haha, what do I want your head to do? I also want you to do things for me in the future and help me achieve higher goals!" Sun Bi finally relaxed at this time and said with a smile, "And I feel at ease when you do your business. With you raising military rations for my army, I naturally have no worries."

"The prince praised it, and the subordinates were frightened..."

As he spoke, time passed quickly. Seeing that the sun was already west, nearly an hour passed. Seeing this, Sun Bi stood up and said, "Let's go and have dinner. I have asked someone to prepare a meal just now. Although I have banned wine in the entire Youzhou recently, when you arrive, you will have to break the example..."

Li Ling stood up and followed, and smiled and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have to make an exception. Drinking is a mistake. Now the military situation is urgent, so just eat some food."

"How can that work..." Sun Bi said as he arrived in front of the door, he saw Shen Chongshan coming quickly, which made him pause again: "General Shen, is there any military information to report?"

"I've seen the Grand Marshal!" After the previous knock, Shen Chongshan became much more honest. When he saw Sun Bi, he greeted him first. He glanced at Li Ling again and said happily, "Master, good news is coming in front of him!"

"Good news? Is it a member of the small-bowed Guirong in Junzhou?" Sun Bi was also excited and asked hurriedly.

During these days, except for important military states like Yingzhou, which were besieged by Guirong, some other nearby prefectures and city gates were actually attacked many times. However, these city gates have sufficient troops and tall walls, which can be defended by themselves, and there has been no tragic situation like Xuanzhou in a short period of time.

So when he heard the good news, Sun Bi first thought of small victory in these places. But as a result, Shen Chongshan shook his head and said happily: "No, it's a big victory in Yingzhou! When Zhao Feijie and Qian Jin led their troops to raid from the rear, the Guirong army was not allowed to look after each other, revealing a huge flaw. The Yingzhou defenders seized the opportunity and attacked decisively to retreat to the enemy in one battle. Now they have retreated northwest and can no longer pose any threat to Yingzhou.

"Master, this is really the biggest victory in Dayue since last year. The 30,000 defenders in Yingzhou have taken advantage of the situation to pursue them. They even heard good news. They also wanted to send troops to follow up in Youzhou to expand the results of the battle..."
