Wan Qingming asked with some concern: "Your Majesty, how should we respond?"
Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment and said: "One person is planning the shortcomings, and three people are planning the longcomings.
Come and summon the generals and military officials to discuss the matter."
Someone outside the hall agreed: "No" The summoned generals and officials arrived quickly, but after the news spread, the atmosphere in the hall was a little depressing.
The instant reversal of the strategic situation made it difficult for these Western Qin officials and generals to adapt, but this matter made it difficult for them to adapt.
It's not enough for them to panic.
After all, the people here are all experienced in the battlefield and have seen big scenes.
When Zhao Ziliang saw no one speaking, he said, "Isn't it said that three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang?
You all here are much better than the cobblers, and there are more than three of them.
Isn't it possible that no one among you can come up with a good countermeasure?"
Li Muchen glanced left and right and saw no one came forward to speak, so he had to stand up and said, "Your Majesty, the Western coalition forces are now divided into three groups to form a strategic advantage to attack us from three sides.
On the surface, it looks like this, but I think in reality This is not the case” Zhao Ziliang raised his hand: "Tell me what you think."
"Yes."
Li Muchen raised his hand again and said, "In fact, even if they have drawn the battle line into three sides to form a pincer attack on us, it is still difficult to get rid of the huge disparity in troop strength, and we still have the initiative in the west. power, which has been captured until now We have secured all the passes and can attack and retreat.
The defender suggested that we only need to station a small number of troops at each pass in the west to strictly defend and block the main force of the Western coalition forces in the southwest to contain the forces coming from Macedonia, Serbia and Dalmati.
Asia's troops, they want to fight, I If our troops are not smaller than theirs, we will fight.
If they cannot hold out, we will not move.
If we use heavy troops to surround the 40,000 cavalry of the Bulgar Khanate in the north, as far as the current behavior is concerned, there are only these 40,000 Bulgar Khanate.
The 40,000 cavalrymen pose the greatest threat to us.
Their strength is mobility.
If they don't take the initiative to fight us, it will be difficult for us to surround them.
However, if we station more troops in various towns in the north, implement the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the country, and then deploy heavy troops to garrison at important passes, we will be able to trap them.
Forty thousand Bulgar cavalry is not difficult."
After Li Muchen finished speaking, the ministers and generals in the hall began to discuss in low voices.
After Li Muchen's analysis, the situation became clearer and clearer, and it seemed that it was not that bad.
Zhao Ziliang opened his eyes and stood up and said, "Where is Guo Xin?"
Veteran Guo Xin stood up, clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "I'm here."
Zhao Ziliang said: "I will give you 30,000 elite infantry to garrison the passes in the west.
You can only defend, not attack.
No matter what means the Western Allied Forces in the west use, your duty is to guard the passes in the west."
Guo Xin said in a deep voice: "I obey the order."
Zhao Ziliang asked again: "Where is Gao Chongwen?"
Gao Chongwen tossed his cloak, stood up and said, "I'm here."
"I'll give you 30,000 horse and infantry troops to contain the tripartite coalition of Macedonia, Dalmatia and Serbia in the southwest.
They only have 26,000 troops.
You have 30,000, which is not a small amount."
Gao Chongwen said: "If you don't attack the city, but just contain it, 30,000 troops are enough.
If they dare to take the initiative to attack, I will let them know how terrible it is to fight our Western Qin army in the wild."
"Very good."
Zhao Ziliang nodded, then looked at the other generals, his eyes fell on one of them, and shouted: "Liang Zhenwu, I will give you 50,000 cavalry.
Your mission is to take these 50,000 cavalry to find King Kru of Bulgar Khan."
"Mum, fight him decisively.
Wherever he goes, you will chase him until these 40,000 Bulgar cavalry are wiped out.
Li Su, you will serve as Liang Zhenwu's deputy general."
Liang Zhenwu and Li Su stood up and clasped their fists and said: "Take orders" Next, Zhao Ziliang continued to deploy troops and generals, leaving 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry among the remaining troops.

The rest were sent to the passes and towns in northern Thrace to besiege the 40,000 Bulgar cavalry.
After the ministers dispersed, Zhao Ziliang waved to Wan Qingming and ordered: "Send someone to send a message to the Pechenegs and Magyars in the north so that they can take action.
We will notify you after the news of their action comes out."
Dubosare, let him do the same."
Wan Qingming cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
On September 29, news came from the lower reaches of the Danube River that the northern region of the Bulgar Khanate was being attacked by the Pechenegs and Magyars.
Many tribal camps and grazing lands were looted, and a large number of Bulgars were Killed and captured, their cattle, sheep and horses were also plundered.
The news spread from Vabitsa Pass to the northern part of Thrace, and was quickly learned by Krum and his Bulgar cavalry.
Krum immediately realized that something was wrong.
He instinctively felt that something was wrong.
I suspect it was the Western Qin people, but it is not uncommon for the Pechenegs and Magyars in the north to send troops south to attack the Bulgar territories and plunder people and livestock.
This kind of thing happens every year, and it is impossible to be sure.
It was not done by people from the Western Qin Dynasty.
Krum was confused.
The instability at the rear prevented him from going south to attack the Western Qin people.
He immediately thought that he could not let the news spread among the army, otherwise the morale of the army would be shaken.
But when he gave the order, it was already too late.
The news had already spread in the army, and almost all the Bulgar warriors knew about it.
Soon after, three captains of thousands and several captains of thousands came to his tent and asked to withdraw their troops and return to Bulgar, and then went north.
Defeat the Pechenegs and Magyars.
Krumsi did not agree to the request of these generals after much thought.
The Pechenegs and Magyars were only small hidden dangers, not enough to pose a great threat to the Bulgar Khanate, but the Western Qin was different.
The power is too great and the strength is too strong.
If we cannot work together with the Western coalition forces to push back the Western Qin people this time, even if the Bulgars can survive this war, after the Western Qin people wipe out the other Western coalition forces, The Western Qin people will never let the Bulgars go.
The reason why Krum did not agree to lead his army to withdraw to Bulgar was because he still had some confidence.
He still had 10,000 elite cavalry in the Bulgar Khanate, commanded by his son Omoltag.
At this time, Omor Ertag is afraid that he has led his army north to defend against the enemy.
However, the generals were worried that their wives, children, children, cattle, sheep, horses, and territory in the Bulgar Khanate would be taken away by the Pechenegs and Magyars.
They strongly demanded that their troops withdraw and return to face their old enemies in the north.
Although Krum was able to use his power to forcibly veto the requests and suggestions of these generals, he knew that this would not work.
It would only alienate the generals from him, and he would not be able to retain these people even if they were forced to stay. heart.
After just one day, the morale of the army dropped sharply.
These Bulgar warriors were also worried about their families, cattle, sheep, and pastures in the north.
They were no longer in the mood to fight the Western Qin people.
Many of them were in Centurion.
He and the captain came to Krum's camp and asked to withdraw the troops and return to Bulgar.
Krum's expression changed.
He knew that if this matter was not handled well, his prestige in the hearts of the Bulgars would be greatly reduced.
After thinking about it, he could only discuss with his generals and send a cavalry team back to the Bulgars.
Gar fought against the Pechenegs and Magyars, and the remaining thirty thousand cavalry stayed with him to continue fighting against the Western Qin.
The generals also know that this is Krum's biggest concession, and it is also the best way at present.
The Bulgars have 20,000 cavalry in the territory and are no longer afraid of the Pechenegs and Magyars.
At the same time, the coalition forces in Sedica also encountered big trouble.
King Charles of the Franks was discussing with Pope Leo III and the kings of the Christian kingdoms in northwest Spain how to attack the Western Qin people's garrison in the eastern passes.
During the meeting, On the way, a general hurriedly walked in and whispered something in the ear of one of the kings, Rodrilek.

After hearing this, Roderick's face changed drastically and he jumped up from his seat in shock: "Is this news reliable?"
The general said with a serious expression: "It is absolutely reliable.
It was my trusted entourage who rode the fastest horse for half a month before delivering the news."
Everyone looked at Roderick in confusion.
What they saw on his face made them feel uneasy.
Charlie couldn't help asking: "King Roderick, what happened?"
Rodrilek said feebly: "Half a month ago, we launched a fierce attack on the Western Qin army in Iberia.
I have lost more than half of my territory and the army suffered heavy losses.
I believe that other countries are not much better. go" When the other kings heard this, their expressions also changed greatly, and they were panicked, "How could it be that the people of Western Qin were launching wars on several fronts at the same time?
Aren't they afraid of dragging down the logistics?"
Rodry Lake said: "They have ruled the Iberian Peninsula for more than ten years.
Such a long time is enough for them to digest Iberia.
They do not need to draw combat materials and troops from the country at all.
Just in Iberia The army and output can independently launch a war.
Everyone, I really am not in the mood to continue the meeting.
Please forgive me for taking a step forward.
If there is anything else, we can talk about it tomorrow."
As soon as Roderick left, the kings of several other small Spanish countries also found excuses to leave.
Charlie and others looked at each other looking at this scene, and at the same time, they felt as if their five-flavor bottles had been overturned.
They had realized that this battle would only be afraid of Not easy to fight.
If we look at the entire Thracian theater from a local perspective, the coalition forces do have a certain strategic initiative, but from an overall perspective, the Western Qin people's sphere of influence is to encircle the Western countries.
That night, the kings of several small Spanish countries couldn't stay any longer.
They couldn't watch the Western Qin people capture their homes and kill their subjects, so they quietly left Sedica with their troops in the middle of the night and headed toward Spain.
He hurried back towards his hometown.
By the time Charlie and others got the news, it was already the next morning.
The armies of the small Spanish countries had already gone far away.
Even if they caught up, they could not save their hearts.
Charlie and others felt as if someone had poured cold water on them
