Chapter 1474: The End of the Road (Part 2)
Bian Wushuang looked at Jia Fangzhou sitting in front of him. Although there was no expression on his face, his hands, which were hidden under the case, were shaking slightly.
"You withdraw your troops from the Tongfang, and the commander is very unhappy." Jia Fangzhou said coldly: "Master Bian, you have no other way to go now. You have no other way except to defeat Zhou Jiyun and take down Kunling County."
"Zhou Jiyun is in Tongfang, how could I easily conquer Tongfang and take Kunling County?" Bian Wushuang looked at Jia Fangzhou angry and said, "What is Xie Bao doing in Cangzhou? What is the Qi army in Luzhou doing? Three groups of attacking Kunling County, Jie Bao has not seen any signs yet. If Jie Bao can be more active, can Zhou Jiyun be so easy to fix it?"
"Master Bian, are you afraid of Zhou Jiyun?" Jia Fangzhou shook his head: "We have been fighting hard in Xiaoshi City, but you know what the situation is there. As for Jie Bao, it is indeed not helpful, but when did you become a person who expects others to succeed?" Jia Fangzhou said. "Master Bian said forgave me, you have already lost when you have this mentality."
"It's too early to say that you lose now." Bian Wushuang punched the case with a heavy punch.
Looking at Bian Wushuang who was a little disobedient, Jia Fangzhou confirmed that what Cao Hui said was right. This wise general was completely confused.
"Master, the commander means that if you can't take Kunling County, our Daqi will have limited help to you. Think about it yourself, even if we provide you with enough money, where can you buy what you need? There is a Kunling County between us, which is like a natural chasm, but it's out of reach. If this continues, do you think you and your Bian family have a way out? Only now can you attack Kunling County at all costs and take Kunling County at all costs. If the troops are gone, you can retake, but if this trend is gone, there will be no chance." Jia Fangzhou said patiently.
"Will I borrow my strength and Zhou Jiyun Fire?" Bian Wushuang laughed: "If I try my best to take down Kunling County and defeat Zhou Jiyun, what else do I have? How will you treat Bian Wushuang without soldiers at that time?"
"You are thinking too much." Jia Fangzhou sneered: "This is the reason why you are about to face failure. Marshal Bian, hesitating, is a taboo in military strategists. You are thinking about preserving your strength, but the final fact is that you can't save anything. We know that Bian Wenzhong has already gone to Jinghu City, but I am afraid that he can't catch Jinghu City. According to our information, Jiang Shangyan has not gone far. Now he is afraid that he has appeared at Jinghu City. If you also arrive in Jinghu, when the Ming reinforcements land on Jinghu, you will become a bun. At that time, there is no way out to heaven and no way to enter the ground. Now you can only have a way out if you keep moving forward without hesitation."
"I understand what your commander means. I will consider his opinion. General Jia, let's do it." Bian Wushuang coldly issued an order to expel guests.
Jia Fangzhou nodded: "After this, Marshal Bian said goodbye. Finally, I have to emphasize that attacking Kunling County is your only choice."
Jia Fangzhou left with a long streak.
"Master, what should we do now?" A group of generals surrounded Bian Wushuang, looking at Bian Wushuang with a look of worry on their faces. Now there are fewer and fewer ways to choose from. Even if they choose, they will find that the path they choose will become narrower and narrower.
"Cao Hui hopes that we will attack Kunling County with all our might, not for our sake, but for the sake of our efforts, but for the use of us to hold Zhou Jiyun's main force so that Zhou Jiyun cannot launch a counterattack in Qi." Bian Wushuang said: "In Qi, the wealthy families in Qi fought against Cao Yun and Cao Tiancheng, and they were about to reach the point of a sudden appearance. Both sides are not weak. If Zhou Jiyun launches a counterattack on Qi at this time, it will inevitably affect the situation in the country. This is what Cao Hui wants us to do. In his eyes, we are just a chess piece to use. As for whether we are dead or alive, he didn't care at all."
"But what he said is not unreasonable!"
"Reason?" Bian Wushuang sneered: "Our capital lies in the army in our hands. Fighting against Zhou Jiyun in a tough battle, we do have a chance to win. After all, Zhou Jiyun faces enemies in three directions. But if we really do this, how many troops can we have left under our command? What will we use to control Kunling County and what will we use to play with Zeng Lin? Without the army, will we still have value for utilization in the eyes of Qi people? No, at that time, they will abandon us like clogs."
"But we can't take Kunling County and capture Jinghu City, what should we do?"
"We must take down Jinghu City." Bian Wushuang's eyes twitched: "We must control Jiangnan. Only in this way can we have the conditions to bargain with the Ming people. Qi people are now unreliable. They can't even share too much power to support us. The Ming people are entering in a large scale. Once they are allowed to control Jiangnan first, we really have no way out."
"Master, what should we do now?"
"Wen Zhong should have arrived in Jinghu City now. Once he finds that it is difficult to defeat Jinghu City, he will definitely think of controlling Lianghekou and launching our previous layout in Jiangnan at the same time. Unintentional and civilized, Wen Ying and Wen Zhong also make efforts to seize Xiangzhou and control Lianghekou, and our army can enter the Jiangnan area. After we arrive, we will launch a general attack on Jinghu County City. We may not be able to fight Zhou Jiyun, but there is no problem in attacking Jinghu County City. Even if Jiang Shangyan is spying on the side, I am sure to take it down."
The door of the big tent opened and an officer strode in, "Master General, the Major General sent an emergency military newspaper."
Take the fire-sealed military newspaper from the officer, tore it apart, and browse it in one glance, with a little relaxed look, "As expected, Wang Zhong had sent an army to Xiangzhou. He is now confronting Zeng Lin and Yan Jiang at the city of Jinghu. We are also ready to go quickly. Everyone, this is our only way out. If we take down Jinghu County, we will have enough money and food to survive this crisis and control Jiangnan. At that time, with the five eastern counties and the four counties in Jiangnan, even if we are an isolated army, we have the capital to bargain with the Ming people. The Ming people cannot look at the richest place in Chu and the most populous place, turning into a white land with war."
"Here!" All the generals stood up and said goodbye and left, preparing to set off the camp.
When Bian Wushuang was left in the big tent, the confidence on his face disappeared bit by bit, and his straight backbone slowly hunched down, and his fatigue showed up for a moment.
He knew that he was about to come to the last moment, and now he was just stepping on the tip of the knife and dancing. If he was a little careless, he would be a terrible ending.
Now he only hopes that when he first came to Chu, the Jiangnan form he had begun to plan would not have any major fluctuations. Once there were problems in Jiangnan, the Bian family would be really finished.
He stood up and patted his face hard, so that his stiff face would be as relaxed as possible. Decay can only be reflected in the commander who appeared in front of the army when he was alone. It should be an image full of confidence and victory.
He turned around and packed some personal belongings in the tent. He was about to walk out of the tent so that the personal soldiers could pack up their tents. Just as they had finished sorting out the things, the door of the tent was opened again, and the officer rushed in like a wind.
"Master General!" A look of panic that made Bian Wushuang extremely uneasy appeared on the officer's face.
"What's wrong?" he asked in a deep voice.
"Master, the people who went to Anyang are back." The officer's voice was a little trembling.
"Wenkang is back? Why don't you come to see me?" Bian Wushuang was a little surprised. He was extremely short of manpower now. If Bian Wenhao's troops in Anyang could come here, it would be a timely rain for him.
"Wen Kang didn't come back, it was because the personal soldiers who escorted him back." The officer whispered: "Master, something happened in Anyang."
Bian Wushuang had a loud bang in his head and his body shook a few times. The importance of Anyang to him was self-evident. There were tens of thousands of his troops living there. For this reason, he did not hesitate to station 10,000 elite troops in Anyang to ensure the safety of these troops and make his army stable. If something happens there, it will inevitably cause a major blow to his army's morale.
"What's wrong?" Bian Wushuang clenched his fists tightly, his voice trembling a little.
"Master, Bian Wenhao surrendered to the Ming people, and he detained Wenkang. Now the military families of our army in Anyang County are flowing back to Qinghe County. The returned personal soldiers said that hundreds of people left Anyang and returned to Qinghe County every day, saying that the Ming people prepared houses, fields, seeds, and livestock for them in Qinghe County. As long as they go back, they can be given all of them." The officer paused: "Master, even the personal soldiers who escorted Wenkang, more than half of them escaped halfway. Only eight people came back."
Bian Wushuang's body shook, her face turned pale, and after a while, she let out a mouthful of blood.
"Master General!" The officer was shocked and took the lead to support Bian Wushuang.
"Don't panic, don't make a statement, I'm fine, I'm fine." Bian Wushuang shook his body, looked at the officer, and said, "How are those who have returned now?"
"I will know that it is of great importance and detain them in my tent, and no one is allowed to approach them or talk to them." The officer said.
"You did a good job, very well. Now you go down and execute these eight people secretly. Remember, don't show any clues of your feet to let people see the clues." Bian Wushuang said: "This news must not be leaked."
"I understand." The officer nodded vigorously.
