The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 914
In the entire northwest, more than 20 troops have been stationed, and a very tight line of defense has been built.

Under the arrangement of the Northwest Governor's Office, the [-] guards newly transferred to the Northwest were all assigned to Tianshan County for defense.

This has doubled the number of armed Wubao in the area south of Tianshan County, and the distance between them has become closer, which is more conducive to mutual support.

At the same time, with several big cities as the core, the Jin army has hoarded a large amount of military supplies, which can safely guarantee the food and grass problems of each fort.

With such a defensive strength, the area south of Tianshan County can be called an impregnable fortress.

But the old saying also said that there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and no matter how tight the defense line built by the Jin army, it can't stop the flow of news.

The high-level people in Ximan had already learned that Zhao Yanxun was going to the northwest, which made them see the Jin court's determination to resist.

"The emperors of the Jin people are here, and they may increase their troops in the future. We must attack as soon as possible, otherwise our advantage will become smaller and smaller!"

"The Huns said that the Jin court has an army of no less than one million. If we let them continuously recruit troops, we will indeed be more passive!"

Regarding Zhao Yanxun's arrival, the senior officials of Ximan held a special meeting to discuss the recent military deployment.

The venue for this meeting was chosen in a prefecture in the northern part of Tianshan County, which shows the strategic determination of Ximan to go south.

Outside the conference hall, there was snowflakes in the sky at the moment, and the temperature was already very low in November.

"The Jin army occupies a large number of cities, and they are closely connected with each other. Once a war starts, they will definitely support each other, which is very bad for us!"

Seeing the worried faces of the tribal leaders, King Muliqing said, "You don't have to worry too much. Although the Jin army is well-defended, it also has a fatal weakness!"

Hearing this, everyone began to think, they did not wait for King Muliqing's answer.

"We have more than 30 cavalry in total, while the Jin Army's cavalry is only [-]. This is a tenfold gap!"

"No matter how strong their city is, can't our cavalry bypass it? Do we have to attack the city?"

"After clearing away their cavalry, our infantry will push up again, and we can take the city with peace of mind!"

At this time, someone suddenly asked: "But what if their cavalry has been hiding behind the strong city?"

If you choose to break into the territory controlled by the Jin army, with the current density of the Jin army's garrison, their army may still be attacked.

"So King Bowani was right just now. We must concentrate our superior forces to attack the Jin army, so that we won't be afraid of their attacks!"

At this time, King Ikuosi asked: "How much is the superior force!"

This discussion seemed a bit strange to him. The ministries on the central and southern lines talked a lot, but it seemed like they didn't say any nonsense.

Now the central line and the southern line add up to almost 50 troops, which is less than 20 troops for the upper Jin army. Isn't this considered a powerful force?

Reminiscent of just now, King Muliqing said that there were nearly 35 cavalry in the various tribes of the Western Man, and King Yikuoxi almost guessed the intention of this guy.

Sure enough, King Muliqing said: "King Yikuoxi, I think it takes at least three times as many troops to be called an advantage!"

"Those Jin army's weapons and armors are all first-class, while our army's armor rate is less than half. The gap is too big!"

In fact, this half of the armor rate is also very exaggerated, and it was all snatched by the Western Barbarian tribes along the way.

"That's right... there is indeed a big gap here!"

"Our soldiers not only lack armor, but also don't eat as well as the Jin army. The gap is bigger than we thought!"

Every word you say and what you say are all in support of King Muliqing's statement.

King Jinanta, the lord of the southern line, said: "So we must increase our troops, otherwise it will be difficult to win!"

Looking at the two beside him, King Ikosi asked, "You want me to send troops?"

"We need your help!" Mu Liqing said very solemnly.

At this moment, everyone was looking at King Muli Qing, waiting for him to make a decision.

"How many troops do I have to send?" King Ikosi asked.

King Muliqing said: "You have 18 troops, I think you will leave [-] to guard against the Xiongnu, and other troops can follow south!"

"One hundred thousand troops? Can they defend against the Huns? They have 15 cavalry!" King Ikosi stood up, his tone sullen.

The recent civil strife has been attacked, and the Xiongnu's army has shrunk further, and now there are only 15 cavalry.

King Muliqing said: "We go to fight the Jin army, the Xiongnu will not attack us, it will be more beneficial for them to see us fighting with the Jin people!"

What he said caused everyone in the room to nod their heads one after another, and even some of the kings of the northern line department agreed.

But King Muliqing said: "King Yikuoxi, the benefits of fighting the Huns are too small. Only the wealth of the Jin people in the south can support us millions of people. Don't you understand this?"

Seeing that he still didn't let go, King Jinanta asked, "King Yikuoxi, do you want our people to freeze to death and starve to death?"

These words made the atmosphere on the scene even more tense, and even felt like a sword was on the verge of breaking out.

"Okay... I agree with your request!"

After King Eqosi answered, he sat down on the stool again, and now he had to submit.

King Muliqing went on to say: "Beware of the Huns' army, only keep [-] cavalry, and the rest of the cavalry must go south!"

King Ikosi scolded his mother in his heart, but at the same time he could only nod in agreement.

After the discussion was over, King Ikosi left because he wanted to mobilize the army as soon as possible.

Now that an agreement has been reached at the meeting, he will not go back on his word, otherwise he will be the one who caused the internal strife and was injured.

On the way back, King Ikosi sent a secret envoy to Xiangnu because he wanted to have secret talks with the Huns.

It is beneficial to both parties to clarify the interests with the Huns, and then the two sides temporarily stop fighting.

Although the grassland was large, the secret envoy arrived at the court of the Huns in only five or six days under the swift action of the horse.

After some statements, the secret envoy of King Yikuoxi withdrew from the big tent, leaving Yushan alone to think deeply.

There is no doubt that the Ximan's request for a truce is of great benefit to the Huns, and they really need to repair urgently.

But just agreeing like this, if the Jin court runs out of food, then troubles will come...

The Xiongnu had already sent horses into Tianyu Pass one after another, but the food promised by the Jin court had not been fully paid, so Yu Shan had to consider the benefits.

After a while, Yu Shan summoned the secret envoy again and told him his plan.

The battle still has to be fought, but the two sides don't act in real ways, and only act to paralyze the Jin court.

Hearing Yu Shan's proposal, the emissary immediately agreed.

"Da Shanyu, this is the most wise decision of yours, and both of our clans can benefit!"

"When we defeat the Jin people, the south will belong to us, and the north will still belong to you. Our two races will live in harmony from generation to generation!"

Hearing the emissary's words, Yu Shan just smiled and let him leave after saying a few polite words.

The Jin court is powerful, with the defense line of Tianshan County, the big river as a natural barrier, and the powerful pass of Zhenxiguan...

It may not be difficult to defeat the Jin people, but the Huns know better than anyone how difficult it is to occupy the south.

"It's best to lose to both sides, and that's when I, the Huns, will rise again!" Yu Shan said in a low voice.

As time went by, the war on the grasslands did not stop, but the troops on the northern front of the West Mania began to move south in large numbers.

At the same time, the Western Man tribes were still expanding their armies, selecting young men from among the clansmen, and this was an attempt to use human lives to fill the moat.

Of course, before the zombies in Tianshan County are cleaned up, this great battle cannot be fought.

Both sides are doing their best and making all preparations before the war.
