After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

The situation became increasingly tense, with frequent troop movements taking place both in the northern grasslands and throughout Yunzhou.

"According to the spies, the Tartars will most likely choose this area for the decisive battle!" Gu Hai drew a big circle on the map.

"This is a large grassland, enough to deploy hundreds of thousands of troops. At the same time, there is a river running through here, which can provide water for the army."

Perhaps the Tatars were frightened by the incident in Chilechuan, so they did not choose Woye Town, which was very close to the Death Prisoner Mountain. Instead, they moved their troops eastward and focused their main forces on Fuming Town.

News also came from Yuyi Town that the forces belonging to the Right Wise King were moving westward.

It seems that the Tatars do not want to prolong the war.

This is not good news.

The Tartars now have far more troops than the Yunzhou defenders. If they stretch the battle line, Gu Nanxi will be able to hold the city and fight an offensive and defensive battle.

The tall city walls of the seven towns in Yunzhou can make up for the lack of military force to a certain extent.

Obviously, the other party didn't want Gu Nanxi to have such an advantage! So they concentrated their strength and turned the line into a point!

Gu Hai: "According to their marching habits, they should be divided into three groups."

The Tatars are united, but their unity is limited.

With the Khan and the Left and Right Wise Kings in a three-way confrontation, it is impossible for them to have only one main force!

What's more, the deployment of hundreds of thousands of troops also forced them to divide their forces!

Otherwise, with hundreds of thousands of people crowded on one line, a random stampede could cause panic or even mutiny.

Similarly, facing the opponent's three fierce iron fists, Gu Nanxi could not just hide in the city and not go out.

Because, even if the other party used human lives and corpses to fill the gap, it would be enough for them to climb up the city wall!

Once one point is breached, the defeat will spread along this point to the entire surface like a spider web.

Therefore, Gu Nanxi had to leave Fuming Town and push the front line forward as much as possible, so as to gain enough room for maneuver for himself and Yunzhou behind him.

It can be said that this was a fair and just decisive battle forced by the situation.

The two sides are competing to see whose fist is harder!

Those strategies and plots can only come into play after both sides arrive at this meat grinder.

Everyone in the conference room was in a very heavy mood.

Yunzhou has too few troops. The other side claims to have an army of 500,000. Excluding the water and logistics, even if there are only 300,000 troops actually deployed on the battlefield, it is still twice the number of Yunzhou troops!

It is impossible for Yunzhou to send out all its soldiers. Some of them have to be left behind to defend the seven towns of Yunzhou to prevent sneak attacks from the enemy.

With this calculation, the available troops will be even fewer!

Just when everyone was frowning, the decree from Kyoto arrived in Yunzhou in the night.

"The emperor has issued an edict, Duke Ji is appointed as the general of the Fujun Army. He will soon bring 50,000 reinforcements to help Duke Yun defend Yunzhou!"

"At the same time, His Majesty also ordered each state to requisition food, gather it in Kyoto, and send it to Yunzhou."

"The Emperor said that this is a matter of life and death for the Great Zhou. Duke Yun is the only hope for the entire Great Zhou. I hope that Duke Yun will put aside past grudges and put the people of the world first! The entire Great Zhou will support you!"

After saying that, the messenger handed Gu Nanxi a defense map.

Gu Nanxi opened it and everyone looked over.

This is the defense map that Duke Ji wrote down after he summoned his generals overnight for discussion.

It marked every detail, including how many garrisons each town would send, which general was in charge, and on what day they were responsible for arriving.

Gu Hai and Gu Shisan studied for a long time and found no mistakes: "Duke Ji used to be a general of the rear army. He is not very good at attacking cities, but he can still defend cities."

Gu Shisan: "The only question now is whether Duke Ji can arrive in Yunzhou on time before the war begins."

The decree clearly stated that Gu Nanxi should act boldly and bring all the generals of Yunzhou to the battlefield.

Of course, since His Majesty had handled the matter so well this time, he naturally followed the procedure and asked Gu Nanxi to report the troop deployment and war plan to the court in Kyoto.

Considering the urgency of the situation, His Majesty also said that these materials should be handed over to the imperial envoy Wang Jiuhe who is still in Yunzhou, without waiting for the court's approval.

It can be said that, regardless of past grudges, the young emperor’s response this time was quite satisfactory and could even get full marks!

Wang Bushi's eyes sparkled. He understood those people's cunning and deception best. Even if the other party said something fantastic, he would still keep something in reserve.

"General, regardless of whether Duke Ji can arrive in time, I suggest that we still leave some of our people behind, even if it's only a few thousand!"

These reinforcements will not only have to guard the seven towns of Yunzhou. If the fighting is fierce on the general's side, these reinforcements will have to rush forward!

Does Duke Ji dare to act recklessly?

Wang Buxi would rather judge others by his own mean character. If Duke Jiguo is unwilling to work hard at that time, as long as Yunzhou has several thousand soldiers of its own, plus the people of Yunzhou, they will be able to force him to work hard!

After thinking for a while, Gu Nanxi also felt that the rear area could not be completely handed over to others: "Let Alechuan stay with 5,000 soldiers. If the troops are not enough, don't we still have the various tribes on the grassland?!"

Boss Li curled his lips. Those grassland people could only play when the wind was in their favor. When they encountered such a fair meat grinder, they would run as far away as possible.

However, the general had confidence in them, so Boss Li still sent a number of his men to deliver the message across the vast prairie!

The grassland is vast and boundless. In order to gather the various grassland tribes as soon as possible, Boss Li sent out grassland soldiers led by Abu Riji.

Each of them had only a piece of white paper in their hands, on which was written the reason for the matter and the need for help from the grassland tribe. At the end was Gu Nanxi's personal signature and the seal of Duke Yun.

"Come and sign up now. Which tribes can you find?"

Abujiji quickly completed the registration and assigned tasks to each messenger, then he said harshly while riding on his restless horse.

"We have experienced the cruelty of the Tartars! This time, it is a test from the general to us grassland people, and it is a test from the entire Yunzhou to us grassland people! If you can't bring back the tribesmen, don't come back! We grassland people can't afford to lose face like this!"

After saying this, Abujiji rode his horse into the depths of the grassland without looking back.

The summer wind ruffled his hair, and the tip of his nose was filled with the scent of grass. The freedom of running could not soothe the anxiety in his heart.

The general has too few soldiers!

When the Han people go into battle, they always pay attention to the right time, place and people. The grassland is the advantageous battlefield for the Tatars, not the Han people!

In the absence of any geographical advantage, the difficulty of combat increases sharply with every 10% reduction in troops!

In terms of logistics and supplies, the Tatars have the support of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, while the general has the support of Yunzhou, so they can be evenly matched.

The main gap now is still in military strength!

Abujiji gritted his teeth and insisted on going faster!
