Chapter 171 As soon as Li Jin heard Shao Fang's questioning tone, he immediately realized that the king did not accept his opinion, his eyes rolled, his words turned sharp, and he said worriedly: "It is indeed difficult for the reserve army to resist the direct army, and Surabaya County is an important logistics place for our army to enter the Jade Country, so we must not lose it, for the sake of insurance, should the king consider recalling the army fighting in the Jade Country."
Shao Fang didn't answer, frowned, and was silent.
Withdrawing the Mo army fighting in the Jade Country, Shao Fang really considered this strategy, but he felt that it was a pity that he withdrew the army at this time, so the series of victories he had previously achieved in the Jade Country would be in vain, and his own efforts would be in vain, how could he be willing After a long time, he muttered, "Isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds?"
Guo Hui's mind turned, and he arched his hand and said: "Why don't the king ask for help from the two countries of Chuanzhen, as long as the two countries of Chuanzhen are willing to send troops to help our country, not to mention that it is easy to resist the southern invasion of the wind army, and it can also take advantage of the situation to recover the lost territory of our country, killing two birds with one stone."
Oh Shao Fang's eyes lit up, and he asked: "Guo Xiang, my country has been at war with the two countries of Sichuan and Zhen before, are the two countries willing to send troops to help our country this time?"
Guo Hui smiled and said: "That's right, the relationship between my country and Chuanzhen is not good, but these two countries hate Fengguo even more.
As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is the friend, and even if the two countries of Kawasada don't want to help our country, but in order to suppress the wind country, the minister thinks that they will also send troops" "En" Shao Fang nodded his head and praised: "What Guo Xiang said is reasonable, okay, just do it according to Guo Xiang's wishes" Now Shao Fang is also in a hurry to go to the doctor, he really can't think of a strategy to deal with the southern invasion of the Feng army, and he doesn't want to transfer back the central army of Mozambique that has penetrated deep into the Jade Kingdom, so he can only adopt Guo Hui's advice and ask for help from Sichuan and Zhenguo respectively.
In fact, Guo Hui's analysis is not wrong, Sichuan and Zhen are not pleasing to the eyes of Mozambique, but it has not yet reached the level of hostility, their primary enemy is the wind country after all, and the two countries can ignore Mozambique and Anguo to join forces to attack the jade country, which is also the reason.
However, Guo Hui ignored a very important point, the current alliance between Sichuan and Zhen is on the verge of collapse, and the root cause of this is still the fiasco of the last Wind Cutting Alliance.
The Sichuan army complained that the Zhen army did not listen to the command and insisted on going its own way, while the Zhen army complained that the Sichuan army was as timid as a mouse and did not dare to fight a hard battle with the wind people.
If the two countries could be frank with each other and explain all kinds of problems on the bright side, the contradictions might still be alleviated, but after the defeat of the war, both countries avoided mentioning the war, and the contradictions and complaints accumulated more and more, and the militaries of the two countries almost reached the point where they could not melt into each other.
At this time, Shao Fang sent two envoys to Sichuan Zhen and the two countries to ask for help, which was undoubtedly unpleasant to both sides.
The first to oppose the sending of reinforcements were the military generals of the two countries.
The reason for the opposition of the generals of Zhenguo is very simple, they are ashamed to be with the Sichuan army, since Mo Guo also asked Sichuan for help, then let Sichuan send troops.
And the generals of the Sichuan army also have the same idea, since Mo Guo also asked Zhen Guo for help, then let Zhen Guo send troops to resist the Wind Country first, in addition, in this way, you can also consume the military strength of the two countries at the same time, and you can watch the fire from the other side and enjoy the benefits of the fisherman.
The attitudes of the military generals of the two countries have a direct impact on the attitudes of the two monarchs, and the monarchs of the two countries are lukewarm about the question of Mozambique's request for help, that is, they have not vetoed sending troops for reinforcements, nor have they agreed to send troops, but are dragging their feet, waiting for the other side to send troops first.
If Shao Fang only sent one envoy, whether it was to Sichuan or Zhen, the result would probably not be the way it is now.
Of course, there are no ifs in this world.
Although Guo Hui is not a mediocre talent, his overall view is far from reaching the level of insight into the overall situation, no matter how accurate the previous analysis is, but the deviation of the last step will only make his strategy a fatal next step.
The inaction of the two kingdoms of Chuan Zhen made the rescue of the Mozambican country fail to achieve its wish, and Shao Fang, who got the reply, was furious in the court, and pointed at Guo Hui's nose angrily and scolded angrily.
Guo Hui gave Shao Fang another idea in fright, and still asked for help, but this time the object of asking for help was An Guo.
The Anjun army is far less brave and good at fighting than the Sichuan army and the Zhen army, but fortunately, there are many troops and well-equipped, the most important point is that the two countries are currently allies, and they jointly sent troops to attack the jade country.
Shao Fang thought about it carefully and felt that what Guo Hui said was not unreasonable, and finally adopted his opinion and sent people to Anguo to rescue.
The Anjun army has a lot of troops and good equipment, which is true, but the combat power is poor and lacks actual combat experience, these are also facts, Shao Fang looks down on the Anjun army in his heart, but if there is any other way, he will not ask Anguo to send reinforcements.
In the eyes of Shao Fang and the Mozambican court, it is a sure thing to invite reinforcements from Anguo, but no one expected that Anguo would be more decisive than Chuanzhen and the two countries.
Yue Ze is not that he does not value the alliance between Anguo and Mozambique, but he is really afraid of the Feng army, in the last battle of the wind, the 200,000 An army led by Li De has not yet arrived in the wind country, and was defeated by the less than 100,000 Feng army, if it were not for the mercy of the Feng army, the 200,000 An army, including Li De, would have to die in a foreign land.
After this war, in Angola, the atmosphere has changed, and the seeds of fear have been planted in the hearts of the people.
After such a long time, the An army has also practiced hard and improved its combat power a lot, but they still don't have the courage to fight with the Jade Country, but they still don't have the courage to compete with the Feng army.
Moreover, in the last battle, the An army was also grateful to the Feng Army's subordinates, even if Yue Ze was willing to send troops to fight the Feng Army, the generals of the An Army below would strongly oppose it.
Mozambique asked for help from Chuan and Zhen to no avail, and then asked for help from Anguo and was rejected, which shocked Shao Fang and the Mozambican court, and in addition to being angry, people were thinking hard about how to deal with it.
At present, it is impossible for the Mozambican State to get reinforcements from the outside world, and it can only rely on its own strength to resist the Wind Country, but in the continuous battle, the central army and the local army of the Mozambican army have also suffered heavy losses, and the only way to reverse the situation seems to be the only way to withdraw the main army fighting in the Jade State.
During this time, Mozambique successively asked for help from Sichuan, Zhen, and An, and the delay was not short, but the Feng army, which had already captured Anqiu County, did not continue to move south and invaded Surabaya County, because the opinions within the Feng army were not unified, and they were arguing about whether to consolidate their power first or continue to go south.
Of course, Tang Yin hoped to continue to go south, attack Surabaya County, and then trap the main army of Mozambique in Jade State, so that he would have the opportunity to directly attack Zhenjiang and eliminate the Mozambican court in one fell swoop.
Tang Yin didn't plan to annex Mozambique all at once, but the smooth outcome of the war made his ambitions swell rapidly, and the current situation did have the possibility of a quick solution.
However, Qiu Zhen held the opposite opinion, believing that his side should not go south again, but first consolidate the power of the counties and counties occupied by his side, and let Shao Jun set up a banner as the king as soon as possible, and fight against Shao Fang's court.
Qiu Zhen is by no means timid and afraid, he has his concerns, in his opinion, the current level of fighting is the limit, and if it goes further, it will inevitably attract the participation of other forces, how can Chuan Zhen's two powerful countries who regard the Wind Country as a thorn in the flesh and watch the Wind Country annex the Mo Country, ignoring the Wind Country at the critical moment, these two countries will definitely take action, at that time, they have a strong enemy in front of them, and the rear is unstable, once defeated, they will not even have a base to regroup, they can only pour thousands of miles, and they will be defeated and return to the Wind Country, The counties that had been worked so hard before would be in vain.
Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen's views basically represent two major views within the Feng Army, one side believes that the current opportunity is rare, but it can quickly die to the country, and the other side believes that the time is not yet ripe, and it is most practical to consolidate the current fruits of victory first.
There is Cai Gui who supports Tang Yin, and Guo Jue who supports Qiu Zhen.
The stakes were so high that the internal opinions could not be unified, Tang Yin did not dare to take the next step easily, and the plan to attack Surabaya County was temporarily delayed.
It was precisely when there was a disagreement within the Feng Army, and there was a dispute over whether to attack or defend, that the spies of Tianyan and the Earth Network in Zhenjiang sent back important news that Mo failed to ask for help.
This news is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the main battle faction led by Tang Yin, and the Sichuan State, the Zhen State and even the Anguo State have decided to send troops to aid the Mo State, which proves that Qiu Zhen's concerns are superfluous, and if he does not attack south at this time, he will wait for when Tang Yin summoned Qiu Zhen and others to consult urgently.
After listening to the information sent back by Zhenjiang, Qiu Zhen also frowned secretly, he really couldn't imagine that Sichuan, Zhen, and An all refused to send troops to aid Mozambique.
Cai Gui smiled: "In fact, it is understandable that the three countries refused to assist Mozambique. ” "Oh, Lord Cai, what do you say," Qiu Zhen asked.
"Angola has fought with our country, when our army was less than half of the Angolan army's strength to kill the Angolan army, as far as I know, this is the first time in a hundred years that Angola has been at war with a foreign country, but the first battle was so disastrous, it will naturally leave a deep shadow on the Angolan army, I dare to assert that until now, the Angolan army is afraid of our army, Anguo is unwilling to reinforce Mozambique, not because the alliance between the two countries is not strong, but Anguo is afraid of fighting with our army again."
Everyone nodded while listening, and Qiu Zhen couldn't help but say, "It makes sense." ” Cai Gui continued: "As for the two countries of Chuan Zhen, it is better to understand, the last time the two countries joined forces to attack our country, and finally ended in failure, after the war, the two armies in order to shirk responsibility, blame each other, the contradiction is deepening day by day, and now both countries are unwilling to send troops, one is that they do not want to join forces with each other to fight, and second, both countries hope that the other side will send troops first, let the other side fight with our army first, and when both sides are defeated, then send troops to clean up the mess and enjoy the success." ” After a pause, Cai Gui arched his hand and said: "King, it can be said that the three kingdoms of Sichuan, Zhen, and An are currently all harboring their own ghosts, and the first thing that comes to mind is how to preserve their strength, and our army can take advantage of this gap":
