At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 362: Planning for the Northern Wei Dynasty
"Let the Military Affairs Department hurry up and come up with a response plan."

He said: "This war is not to fight for the land of Northern Wei, but to destroy the living forces of the Northern Wei court."

"So we will mainly fight a war of annihilation and kill as many Northern Wei soldiers as we can."

"My request is that after this battle, the Northern Wei Dynasty completely loses the strength to fight against the Western Liang Dynasty and turns to a defensive position."

When the two sides are in a stalemate or their strength is equal, the main purpose of war is to fight for land and plunder people.

While weakening the opponent, you also enhance your own strength. As a result, the strong becomes stronger and the weak becomes weaker.

In the past few years, Xiao Han had always led the Xiliang Army to do this, focusing on attacking cities and seizing territories.

but now.

He did not ask for land or population, his only request was to destroy the Northern Wei's vitality as much as possible.

This means that the situation between Xiliang and Northern Wei has completely reversed.

Xiao Han is about to begin preparations for the war to annihilate the country.

"My husband, have you already prepared to destroy the Northern Wei?"

Miaoyu's mind was so clear that she understood what Xiao Han meant as soon as he finished speaking.

Only in a war of annihilation will the enemy's manpower be destroyed as much as possible.

"Ah."

He nodded: "It's time to get ready."

"If this battle can destroy the 200,000-strong Northern Wei army, your husband will be able to destroy the Northern Wei within five years."

"If Shu can destroy an army of 300,000, I can destroy Northern Wei within three years. If he can destroy an army of 400,000, I can destroy Northern Wei within a year."

"Northern Wei has 200,000 troops stationed in Fancheng. With the additional 200,000 troops, there should be about 400,000."

Miaoyu pondered for a moment: "But these additional 200,000 troops are not elite."

"So we use the old method to lure the snake out of its hole."

Xiao Han stroked his chin, "Concentrate superior forces, first surround the vital points of the Northern Wei people, and then force them to send troops to rescue."

"Then we will surround the enemy and attack their reinforcements, and eat up the two pieces of fat meat in one go."

"One battle will completely disintegrate the power of Northern Wei. From now on, Northern Wei will be a soft persimmon. I can pinch it whenever I want and eat it whenever I want."

"How many troops do you plan to send, my husband?"

Miaoyu was curious.

"Leave 100,000 men stationed at the border of Nan County, and send out 500,000 troops."

He smiled and said, "I can't help it. Your husband is now strong and powerful. He needs everything except men."

"Is this the first time we've fought such a rich battle?"

"Yes."

Miaoyu smiled and said, "With an army of 500,000 men, if everyone spits, they will drown the Northern Wei court."

“This is the beginning of a war to annihilate a nation.”

Xiao Han put down the teacup, "I have worked hard for so many years just to wait for this day to come."

"Has Helian Bobo come out of confinement?"

"No."

Miaoyu said, "The secret agents of the Secret Service once went deep into the Northern Wei Dynasty and investigated the place where Helian Bobo was in seclusion."

“I saw a divine light above me, connecting the sky to the earth. I didn’t even dare to approach within a radius of 20 miles.”

"It can be seen that Zhenwei, the military god of the Northern Wei Dynasty, has made great progress in his cultivation after years of seclusion."

"I received a gift from the gods and wanted to enter the realm of great immortality. Unfortunately, it makes no difference to me whether he enters the realm of great immortality or not."

He looked disdainful.

confidence.

At this moment.

Xiao Han exuded an unprecedented confidence.

"But it's not easy to catch the fish." Miaoyu changed the subject, "If it weren't for my husband's plan, the Northern Wei might not have sent more troops."

"Then continue acting."

Xiao Han said calmly: "Give them an illusion, an illusion that as long as we send troops, we can easily break into Orange Island and Hexi Province."

"still have a question."

She asked, "Which army is besieging Northern Wei?"

"If you want to surround them, surround the strongest one."

He decided: "Find the right time to attack the Northern Wei army from both wings of Fancheng and surround their most elite 200,000 troops."

"I want to see if the Northern Wei empress will save the 200,000 people in Suizhou?"

"This is called pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth."

"To surround these 200,000 people, at least 400,000 troops must be deployed."

"This means we only have 100,000 people left, which may not be enough."

“Three hundred thousand is enough.

He shook his head and said, "Tell Mr. Guo that I will only give him 300,000 men. No matter how we deploy them, I will not give him any more men or horses."

"All we have left is a massive siege by tens of thousands of people."

"If he had another 200,000 troops, Xiao Han would have wanted to make a detour from the east and west to surround the three states of Hexi Province, but he was caught in a trap."

"Row."

"I will go to the Military Affairs Department later and talk to Mr. Guo in detail."

"it is good."

He nodded: "Let Mr. Guo get a deployment plan as soon as possible."

"This war is extremely important, and there must be no problems on the southern line."

Xiao Han pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Do you think we should let Qingyao go now?"

"At present, Xue Changqing already has a certain influence in Jiangnan. If Qingyao is added, he can definitely turn Jiangnan upside down with a single call."

"Once the south of the Yangtze River is in chaos, the Central Plains imperial court will be too busy to take care of itself and will no longer have the energy to interfere with the war between Xiliang and Northern Wei."

"But in this way."

Miaoyu was a little embarrassed. "Let Qingyao and Xue Changqing be exposed too early. Their strength is not enough to truly shake the foundation of the Central Plains court."

"no way."

Xiao Han sighed: "I will ask Qingyao in person later. If she doesn't want to, I won't force her."

"And Huishan should also be in our hands."

Miaoyu said: "Jianzhou's geographical location is extremely important and is controlled by Longhushan and Huishan."

"If there is help from Huishan and Longhushan, maybe Xue Changqing will be able to do much better and even gain a firm foothold."

"If Qingyao agrees, then we can take over Huishan and Longhushan."

He nodded. Yuan Jingchen and Yuan Qingfeng were both in Xiliang, but neither of them had real power in Huishan.

But for Xiao Han, helping Yuan Jingchen take Huishan was as easy as eating and drinking.

It’s nothing more than getting rid of the ancestor of the Yuan family.

A mere grandmaster of the Celestial Realm could not cause much waves in front of Xiao Han, the King of Xiliang.

A being that can be crushed to death with just a finger.

Although Huishan has been competing against Longhushan in recent years, it is still far inferior to Longhushan in terms of foundation and real strength.

Not long after, Miaoyu came out of the side hall and shouted to Qingyao who was practicing sword by the lake: "Qingyao, the master wants you to go."

"what?"

"what's up?"

Qingyao stopped, sheathed her sword, and walked into the side hall with brisk steps.
