Please, let me be a fool

Although Gaoyang Kingdom is only a vassal of the Great Wei Dynasty.

In almost every aspect of population, economy, etc., they are far behind.

Take the built city as an example, even after more than 100 years of development, in terms of defense and fortification, it may be much stronger than the grassland tribes, and it is not at the same level as the Great Wei.

That's why, although some ministers disagreed with the imperial court's use of troops against Gaoyang, they did not try their best to oppose it.

What's more, Wei Yunyi appointed Song Hongzhi, such a playboy well-known in the capital, as the commander of Liao Town.

Some people really don't understand it, but they think it's nothing.

After all, they all know the strength of Gao Yangguo.

The soldiers of Liao Town.

Even if it is not as good as the northern border, it is still no problem to deal with Gaoyang country.

Even if you don't have any experience in the army, as long as you stick to Liao Town, there is a way.

For example, when the pressure on the northern border eases.

Even if Gao Yangguo had an idea, he had to obediently choose to negotiate a peace.

But what people didn't expect was that Song Hongzhi would do it directly, and took 800 people with him to the capital of Gaoyang.

Such tactics are simply unexpected.

Especially the news of breaking Licheng made everyone feel incredible.

Li City can be regarded as the economic center of Gaoyang State, with a prominent position, and it is also the only line of defense for the capital, which is very important.

Even now, most of Gao Yang's troops are concentrated in Xuancheng, and the interior is empty, but there are thousands of troops guarding it, but Song Hongzhi broke through, and even the commander was directly beheaded.

No matter how you look at it, it's unbelievable.

But this news was obtained by Liao Zhen in Xuancheng.

It's impossible for the prince of Gaoyang Kingdom to deliberately spread false news, right?

Also mobilize the army to help?

It can be seen from this that Song Hongzhi really succeeded.

But the whole court, no matter whether it is a civil servant or a general, doesn't know how the other party did it...

Of course, their focus now is not these, but after Song Hongzhi left Licheng, the soldiers seem to be pointing directly at Gaopingcheng.

It is indeed a bit exaggerated to say that taking 800 people to break Licheng, but some generals can still understand it, and it is acceptable to adapt to it.

Where is Gaoping City?It is the capital of Gaoyang, and the defensive army will definitely not be less than 1.

Wanting to break through this city under such circumstances is tantamount to cannibalism.

And now Li Zai, the prince of Gaoyang Kingdom, has reacted.

The army is being mobilized for return aid.

Therefore, it is very unrealistic to want to attack Gaoyang City like the attack on Li City.

This is only possible unless the 800 people brought by Song Hongzhi are all around the eighth rank in martial arts.

But such elite soldiers may only be raised among the northern garrison.

Practicing martial arts is not that simple.

therefore.

The imperial court did not have any expectations for Song Hongzhi's ability to break through the capital of Gaoyang.

But ideas belong to ideas, there is a fact that everyone must recognize.

That is, this uncle of the small country in the dynasty raided 800 people in three days and took down the important town of Gaoyang Kingdom after the capital. This kind of thing is not something that ordinary people can do.

At least some military generals in the imperial court thought that it would be impossible for them to go by themselves.

In this way, many people's impression of Song Hongzhi has completely changed.

And at the time when the whole court was discussing this battle.

In Jingde Palace.

Wei Yunyi sat on the main seat, his eyes revealed a look of bewilderment.

"How could it be, how could it be like this?" He muttered to himself, until now he couldn't believe the news from Liao Town.

My brother-in-law, with 800 people, rushed directly into the hinterland of Gaoyang country, returning those important towns second only to the capital.

But he only has 800 people on hand, and he doesn't even have much experience in the army.

In the end is how to do this ah?

Too exaggerated, right?

Suddenly.

Wei Yunyi felt that my brother-in-law should not be named Song, but change his surname to Huo directly.

You know, the purpose of letting the other party be the commander of Liao Town was to prolong the time of the war.

But now it's a good thing, the opponent has directly penetrated Gao Yangguo's heart, and the situation of the war has begun to reverse.

At that time, if my brother-in-law breaks through Gaoping City, the battle will end directly...

"Your Majesty." At this time, Zhao Lingying came over with a bowl of ginseng soup, and said with a smile: "The concubine said before that it might be a good thing for Uncle Xiaoguo to take 800 people deep into the enemy's rear. From now on, it seems that Gaoyang Country will definitely be in disarray."

At first, when she received the news, she was also shocked.

Because he never thought that Song Hongzhi would have such courage.

With 800 people in hand, you dare to go directly behind the enemy.

This move can be said to be extremely risky.

But what shocked Zhao Lingying was that the other party actually broke through Licheng.

Such a record cannot be described in ordinary language.

all the time.

She was suspicious of Song Hongzhi.

He felt that the other party was just a stunned young man, completely incapable of being the commander of Liao Town.

Not to mention leading the battle between the imperial court and Gaoyang Kingdom.

But since knowing the news.

Zhao Lingying was shocked, and felt that this uncle Xiaoguo couldn't look at it according to common sense, as if he brought 800 people into the hinterland of Gaoyang country this time, an ordinary person would definitely not dare to do so.

After all, such a thing as a war involves too much, and you have to take into account the soldiers under your command, as well as the consequences of losing.

Just like my own father, he always strives for victory in a steady state and will not reveal the facts.

But the other party not only broke this routine.

It's doing very well.

How can you not admire?

"Aifei, you said Song Hongzhi, can you break through Gaoping City?" Wei Yunyi felt a little sour when he heard the other party's words.

But it was too late to say anything now, the only thing he wanted to know was whether his brother-in-law could break Gaoping City.

Because if the other party really achieved this, then the entire Gaoyang Kingdom would be almost wiped out in half.

In this way, I don't know how much luck will skyrocket...

to be frank.

Wei Yunyi really doesn't know much about military affairs.

Even if the situation is clear, it is difficult to analyze the final result.

Coincidentally, Concubine Ying's father is Marquis of Shenwu, so she must know more about this than I do, so I want to hear her opinion.

After all, he is really scared now, and my brother-in-law really did it.

"Breaking Gaoping City?" Zhao Lingying heard the words, thought for a while, and then said: "Uncle Xiaoguo only has 800 people in his hands now. Even if they are elite soldiers, they have already experienced the battle of Licheng. I am afraid they will be damaged. We need to Let's take a rest, and Licheng is six or seven hundred miles away from the capital of Gaoyang, even if we make it there, I'm afraid we won't be able to start a battle right away."

"Of course, there is another point. Gaoping City is the capital of the country after all. In terms of defensive capabilities, it must be much stronger than Li City. At least no less than [-] troops are stationed. Therefore, it is almost impossible to break through the capital of Gaoyang."

Having said that, she looked at Wei Yunyi and said with a smile: "But I feel that your Majesty's request should not be too high."

At this moment, in Zhao Lingying's eyes, His Majesty is still not satisfied with the results of Song Hongzhi's trip.

It's just that the second most important city of Gaoyang Kingdom has been breached.

It seems that in terms of situation, there is not much difference.

After all, the army of Gaoyang Kingdom is still there.

And this battle.

What matters is the majesty of the entire Great Wei, and the opponent must pay the price in blood.

Only in this way can the kingdoms be declared that the Great Wei cannot be humiliated.

But obviously, Uncle Xiao Guo has not done this yet.

He thought that if he could defeat Gaoyang Kingdom, that would be a real victory.

Otherwise, why would His Majesty ask the other party to ask such a sentence?

It's just that Zhao Lingying thinks so.

Breaking through Licheng is already considered okay, at least it will mess up the garrison in Xuancheng and disrupt their plans.

Moreover, it was Song Hongzhi's first time leading an army on the battlefield, and these achievements were already better than many generals in the imperial court.

So at this moment, she felt that she had to say something.

"Oh, is it?"

Next to him, Wei Yunyi's eyes lit up when he heard these words.

He was really afraid of his brother-in-law, and he really broke through the Gaoyang Kingdom, and then captured the Gaoyang royal family alive.

But after hearing Zhao Lingying's analysis, she immediately felt relieved.Because what the other party said is not unreasonable, no matter how weak Gao Yang is, it is still a country, how could it be possible to destroy the city with only 800 people?

Besides, my brother-in-law's actions have already been known by the enemy. Under this situation, can the attack on Licheng be as smooth as before?

Although the current situation is not what Wei Yunyi wants, but after thinking about it for a while, he thinks it is acceptable.

It is the army of Gaoyang Kingdom, which has not suffered any losses.

Definitely still have the power to fight.

As long as my brother-in-law doesn't take down Gaoping City, the war is not over yet, and there is still room for redemption.

At this point in his thoughts, Wei Yunyi was not as nervous as before, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief, saying: "Well, attacking Gaoping City is too risky, and uncle Xiaoguo would not be so impulsive, even if he doesn't think about himself, he still needs to think about it." 800 people under him."

"However, Ai Fei is right. Uncle Xiao Guo's battle was indeed beyond expectations, and he achieved a result that no one expected."

"No matter how you say it, it is considered a meritorious service. After he comes back, I will reward him well!"

That being said.

But the rewards are just talking.

Because he knows very well that if the situation is true and the opponent continues to fight, God knows what will happen.

So what Wei Yunyi was considering was to return to Liao Town after his brother-in-law was unable to break through Gaoping City.

He directly recalled the other party to the capital.

Then suspend sending troops to Gaoyang country.

After all, there are not many days until the month-end settlement.

After finally waiting for the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River to make trouble, they weakened the luck of the Great Wei for themselves.

It would be really sad if my brother-in-law disrupted the plan at this time.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Naturally, Zhao Lingying has no objection, rewards for meritorious service, this is the ancestral system of the Great Wei.
