Three days later...

Sun Bangnian left by boat and prepared to head to the north.

When he and Yan Yunge parted, they kept looking at each other's face, with a very strange look.

It's like an abnormal human.

Yan Yunge asked with a smile: "Dare you asking Eunuch Sun, is my face blooming?"

snort!

Sun Bangnian pretended to be serious, "I want to see you clearly."

"Have you seen it clearly? Have you reached a conclusion?" She had a good temper and always had a smile on her face.

He waved his hand and said, "I can't see clearly. You are like this every time. Even though I have experienced the world, I can't tell which one you are real and which one you are acting."

Yan Yunge laughed, "In this way, my acting skills are good, and you can't tell the truth clearly. In fact, from another perspective, all my faces are real, so I can't tell the truth clearly. Because there is no acting at all, it doesn't matter whether it's true or false."

He doesn't believe a word.

"This time, I will help you achieve your wish. In the future, I will eat, drink and support you, so don't be stingy with money."

"Eunuch Sun is too concerned about me. I still have the ability to bear the money. No matter who you lose, you can't lose it."

"Very good! Come back and wait patiently for the good news from our family."

The pier is separated, and the situation is anxious.

The troops in Liangzhou were coming in full force, and Xiao Yi could only grit his teeth and persevere.

Fortunately, the supply of food and grass was timely, Shi Wen, the Marquis of Pingwu, restrained some of the troops.

Yan Yunge wrote to Xiao Yi, asking him to persevere until the end of the year, and it would be best if he could persevere until the beginning of next year.

At the latest, the war will be decided at the beginning of next year.

Xiao Yi sent several letters in succession and asked her what plans she had.

Yan Yunge was afraid that the letter would be lost, so he only wrote one "sun" in reply!

He will naturally understand when he sees it.

...

The two sides fought a war of attrition, and the world attracted attention.

The Southern Wei court was ready to move.

"Yan Yunge is at the end of her strength. Although she has money, fighting is not only a matter of money. In terms of military strength, there is a huge gap between the two sides, and anyone with eyes can see it."

"I really don't know where she got the courage to take food from the tiger's mouth and grab territory from Liu Zhang. In the past few years, I have been used to having a smooth life, but it really expanded to the point of not knowing the height of the world."

"Relying on sufficient food and grass, Xiao Yi can hold on for at most half a year. After half a year, even if the gods descend to earth, he will not be able to save him. At that time, he can only withdraw his troops in shame. How many territories in the coastal counties will be snatched back in the end. It will take a waste of trouble, and the little troops he had finally saved will be gone."

"Yan Yunge played a bad move! Even his father Yan Shouzhan dared not fight with Liu Zhang. She actually had the courage to steal Liu Zhang's territory. Who gave her the confidence?"

"It's so arrogant! This woman has always been unscrupulous in her behavior and is so crazy that she can destroy the border. This time, if you ask her to learn a lesson, you will know that she is powerful."

"This time it's not just a lesson. The court is discussing whether to send troops to the three counties and take the opportunity to retake Bo County and Dongyang County. If it can defeat Yan Yunge and seize Pingyang County, then it will be rich."

"Yes, yes! Pingyang County is rich, and merchants from all over the world go to Pingyang County to do business, and it is densely populated and has sufficient taxes. If the court can take it down, I wonder who will be the governor of Pingyang County by then."

"I want to recommend myself and leave it to Pingyang County."

"Hahaha... don't dream. The best counties are not the turn of us. It must be the division of those families."

"I heard that both Ling Cui's family had young masters studying in Pingyang County, maybe these two families had the idea of ​​taking Pingyang County as their own."

Pingyang County is still made by Yan Yunge.

The group of people were quarreling for whom they took office as the governor of Pingyang County.

It seemed as if Pingyang County had been taken down by the imperial army, Yan Yunge was busy and eventually made a wedding dress for the imperial court.

Not only the minor officials think so.

The court bosses had similar ideas.

"Take your life while you are sick!"

"With Xiao Yi leading his troops outside, the whip was out of reach, the court quickly sent troops and took the territory of the three counties in one go."

"Don't forget the salt farm, sugar factory, mine..."

"Snatching the territory, these profitable transactions will naturally fall into the hands of the court."

"When will we wait until we don't send troops at this time? I missed this opportunity and wait until Xiao Yi retreated his troops and returned to the three counties, and it would be too late to grab the territory."

The courtiers talked all the time, and some of them unified their ideas without arguing.

Just wait for the emperor to issue an order to send troops.

It is just around the corner to capture the territory of the three counties.

Emperor Xiao Chengwen seemed very calm when facing the excited and excited court officials.

The courtier can be excited, but he cannot.

At this moment, he was more calm than ever.

He asked bluntly: "It is indeed a good opportunity to send troops. But where did the troops come from?"

At present, the Northern Army is conquering cities and land thousands of miles away, taking down one mountain after another and one city after another.

The land area of ​​the Southern Wei court has been pushed south for hundreds of miles and will continue to advance.

If it goes well, Bushan County, the King of Bushan County, will soon bid farewell to the identity of the border county and become an inland county.

What an exciting and feat this is.

Any monarch and minister who expands territory and expands the territory of the dynasty will be remembered in history and praised by future generations.

This is a merit for all eternity.

so……

At this time, you must not withdraw your troops.

We must never withdraw the Northern Army from the southern border for the sake of the territory of the three counties.

Another thing is that when the army is mobilized and invested from one battlefield to another, we must not only consider the time required on the road, but also leave enough time for the soldiers to adjust their climate and diet to avoid the regret of being unacceptable to the local environment and causing the loss of combat effectiveness.

A rough calculation of the time, it will take at least three or five months before the Northern Army can withdraw from the southern border and devote itself to the battle to attack the three counties.

Three or five months ago, the war between Xiao Yi and Liu Baoshun in the north had already undergone earth-shaking changes.

By then, is it still time for the Northern Army to rush back?

Emperor Xiao Chengwen's attitude was very clear and the Northern Army could not move.

Local armed forces and limited combat power are all a group of cannon fodder.

Apart from being a leader and fighting with the wind, you cannot conquer cities and territories.

Moreover, Pingyang County has developed waterways, and there will inevitably be water wars.

If the local garrison cannot even fight land wars well, don’t mention water wars.

So……

It seems that I can only count on the Southern Army.

Sure enough, a court official stood up and said, "Can the Southern Army stationed outside the city mobilize half of the troops to go north, take down two counties first, and then plot against Pingyang County?"

"It's feasible!" The ministers agreed repeatedly.

If the Northern Army cannot be mobilized, then the Southern Army will be mobilized.

The Southern Army's old foundation also fought against rebels and fought a tug-of-war with Wuheng.

As for the subsequent battle to defend the city, there is no need to mention it.

The Southern Army has a strong foundation. It has been training troops over the years and has never slackened. Maybe it can fight.

Emperor Xiao Chengwen was silent for a moment, "How many troops are there in the three counties? Do you know about the good ministers?"

The ministers looked at each other.

"Where is the Ministry of War?"

As the Minister of War, Ling Changzhi served as the General of the Southern Expedition and led his troops to fight abroad.

The Minister of War was also taken away.

The remaining right assistant minister of the Ministry of War was left, and he didn't know about it after asking any questions, so there was no information on this.

Emperor Xiao Chengwen was so angry that his face turned green.

Even if he didn't know how many troops the three counties were and how powerful they were, he dared to send troops rashly. As expected, he was a group of experts who talked about war on paper.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Yi is leading the troops outside, claiming to have 100,000 troops, but in fact only 30,000 troops. With the financial resources of the three counties, raising 30,000 troops was almost emptying the money treasury.

The ministers believe that the current defense forces of the three counties are very limited, and they are all bluffing.
