Chapter 892

"Since the commander has been replaced due to the unfavorable war, will the next commander who holds military power be repeated by the previous commander's fault?"

Wang Yang's words did make everyone present admit that it was very reasonable. I think the reason why the prince of the Liao Kingdom was replaced must be that it had a lot to do with the fact that he had not made any achievements for more than a month of fierce battle.

As the saying goes, the new official takes office for three fires. However, the commander of the Liaoxia coalition, who was taking office, did not set fire to Youzhou City. This only means that the target he is going to set fire should be other targets...

"Is this unlikely? Is this new coach ready to place our Youzhou and Xing's army south to the hinterland of the three states?" Gao Shize couldn't help but change his face, his expression seemed a little ugly.

"The last general thinks what the adults said makes sense, otherwise, why didn't the Liaoxia coalition forces continue to attack our prefecture city after Yishuai, but stopped to reorganize the army?" Zhong Shihe agreed with Wang Yang's point of view.

"Let the brothers in Zhucheng Walls be on guard and pay attention to the movements of the gate camps under the city. Wang really wants to see what the new Liaoxia coalition commander wanted to do. In addition, he tried to send a messenger and went out at night to try to inform the guards in Hongzhou and other places, so that they could spread the news about the Liaoxia coalition's commander to Su Xueshi."

"No!" A group of civil and military officials obeyed the order in an orderly manner.

#####

That night, the Liao and Xia coalition forces still did not launch an attack. At night, several warriors dressed in Western Xia armor quietly sneaked out of the encirclement through the blank area between the camps and headed straight south.

When Su Dongpo received this news, it was already three days later. Su Dongpo was also confused. The first thought was that the Emperor Yelu Hongji of Liao was crazy. After all, changing the commander at the last stage was a taboo in military strategists.

But the emperor of the Liao Kingdom really did it. He replaced him with a surname named Xiao. After many inquiries and clarifications, Su Dongpo finally determined the commander of the Liaoxia coalition, which was the young and powerful military commander Xiao Shen.

As for the respected deputy envoy of the army supervisor, Xiao Wuna, he was so shameless that he led 20,000 troops to the left wing Shenhua Army.

"It goes without saying that the scheming Xiao Wuna must have failed to win the position of commander. Since Xiao Shen has become the leader of the army, how could he let this old man continue to get in the way around him?" Su Dongpo said with a smile, stroking his long beard.

Zong Ze next to him couldn't help but look at Su Dongpo, who was gray-bearded and said, "Well... Forget it, he is a humble gentleman at least, so he won't complain about his boss."

"In this way, it is best for us to keep our troops in motion for the time being." A general stood up and spoke to Su Dongpo. "The Liao and Xia coalition forces are indifferent, and the movements of the army will be unclear for a while. We might as well control them with static."

"Well... this is also a countermeasure. Who else has other ideas? Let me tell you..." Su Dongpo nodded slightly and glanced at the civil and military officials present.

"Su Xiang, the lower official, think that we should not use static to control our movements. In this way, it is easy to fall into passivity." At this time, a voice sounded.

Su Dongpo looked in the sound and happened to see Zong Ze standing up.

"So it's Rulin. Come on, let's talk about your reasons." Su Dongpo stroked and nodded slightly at Zong Ze.

Su Dongpo likes this atmosphere very much. He brainstorms the generalization and finally makes a conclusion. This approach can minimize the chance of mistakes.

"The Liaoxia coalition forces almost all gathered in the land of Youzhou. Although our Song Dynasty reinforcements were numerous, their troops were scattered in the land of the states. If we use static control, we may be caught off guard by the Liaoxia coalition forces in the early stage. It is probably too late to mobilize the troops again..."

"Why is it too late? Lord Zong doesn't believe in the power of the Great Song Dynasty?" A general stood up and shouted with resentment on his face.

Zong Ze smiled and bowed to the general, explaining reasonably.

"General calmed down, Zong Mou's words did not mean this. Now, our Song Dynasty reinforcements are mainly divided into four routes, one in the west of Yanzhou and the Xi'anzhou area on the north Qinfeng Road. They contain the Xishoubaotai Army and Jingsai Army of Xixia. One is led by Su blind date, and now it is stationed in Yinzhou, and the other is near Linzhou, responsible for restraining the left-wing Shenyong Army of..."

"And among the three prefectures of the Liaoxia coalition, Yan, You and Hong, Youzhou is the most solid, easy to defend but difficult to attack, while the city defenses of Hongzhou and Yanzhou are inferior to those of the best."

"There are about 50,000 troops in Yanzhou. Now, General Zhong Shidao and General Zhe Keshi merged into one place. After gathering, there are now about 50,000 troops. They were originally stationed in Wuchi. After the Baohui Division of Renduozong, they have moved closer to the Liuboling area of ​​Youzhou. On the other hand, in the ancient city of Wuyan, there are 10,000 defenders, 40,000 soldiers outside the city, and 30,000 defenders in Hongzhou."

"...If we use static and calm, if the Liaoxia coalition forces abandon Youzhou and come straight south, the ancient city of Wuyan will be trapped, and Hongzhou will inevitably be in danger. Many forts in the hinterland of the three states are mostly set up in a hurry. How long can it last for hundreds of thousands of Liaoxia coalition forces?"

"How is this possible? In this way, the Liaoxia coalition's achievements over a month are equivalent to being wasted all previous efforts?" Several generals couldn't help but frown, feeling that Zong Ze's thoughts were really too advanced.

"Can you still not see why the Liao emperor Yelu Hongji is willing to take a chance to change his commander at the last minute?" Zong Ze saw the expressions of these generals, and naturally knew what they were thinking. He cleared his throat and asked patiently.

"Because that Prince's highness was not good at fighting, he attacked Youzhou for more than a month and had no achievements." Su Dongpo had already answered this question for the generals present.

"According to this point, this new coach really wants to achieve results. And they really can't chew on the tough bones of Youzhou, and it's really possible that they can bring a large army to the south..."

Su Dongpo, a smart veteran driver, has been staying on Shaanxi Road for more than half a year, and has been humbly learning military strategies and tactics. After so long, even if he cannot reach the level of becoming a wise head coach, he can at least weigh the pros and cons.

"This... please immediately order General Zhong Shidao and General Zhe immediately march eastward to advance eastward, join forces with General Huang to defend the Hongzhou area." A general who felt deeply that the three states would soon be war-torn. He stood up and made a speech.
