In Nanyang County, Kong Donglai looked at the information in his hand, his expression constantly changing. This information was sent back by the commander in the front, Nangong Zhi—the Anyang army was unstoppable, and captured Luliang County at lightning speed, and swallowed up Dongyuan County's 100,000 troops in one breath, and captured Dongyuan County Governor Yuan Zhong.
Today, the person in charge of Dongyuan County is Yuan Yong.
Looking at the sand table, Kong Donglai moved his fingers slowly. Those were all the marching routes before Anyang.
Judging from the sand table, the overall structure of Anyang's march this time is like a hand - the thumb is Beichen Yuqing's side, located in the north of Luliang County, and directly launching an attack from the north; Anyang itself is the palm; Wang Jian, Yan Ze'an and others are like four fingers, first going straight to the south, and then drawing an arc, attacking Dongyuan County and Luliang County from the south.
In the end, this "hand" grabbed Luliang County and held it back, and finally it was swallowed by Anyang.
"What an ingenious military deployment!" Kong Donglai's face was solemn, and he even felt a little scared. Looking back now, Anyang had taken almost everything into account when he sent out his troops this time - he had expected Gao Bin of Songzhou County to retreat without a fight, that Nanyang County would be caught off guard, and that the Yuan family of Dongyuan County would have ulterior motives and not move their troops.
The more he watched and thought, the more solemn Kong Donglai became; and at the same time as he was solemn, endless anger rose - what a stupid teammate.
At this time, Kong Yingzhi stumbled in and said, "Dad, something terrible has happened. Li Yulong officially ascended the throne two days ago and named his country Tang. The eldest prince's army turned back halfway. The Cai Kingdom in the north is ready to make a move. Anyang has almost strictly blocked all news, so the information has only reached us now."
Crash...
Kong Donglai stood up suddenly, the documents in his hand fell, and the sand table was shaken. As a senior politician, Kong Donglai almost immediately thought of the significance of Li Yulong's enthronement, at least two points:
First, it means the complete demise of the Great Xia Kingdom.
Second, Li Yulong and the Li family have accumulated a lot of wealth, and may have planned this for a long time; otherwise, he would not have ascended the throne and become emperor now.
In addition, the Great Prince's army turned back halfway, which would make Nanyang County completely bear the wrath of Anyang and Li Xian. It is conceivable that without the Northern Great Prince's restraint, Anyang, who is now in full force, will definitely not "stop at the right time", but will pursue the victory.
Next, Anyang is likely to continue to attack Dongyuan County and Nanyang County. Dongyuan County and Nanyang County, which have suffered heavy losses, have almost no chance of stopping Anyang's troops! As for the timid Songzhou County, it will only stand by and watch, and may even add insult to injury.
After a long period of changing expressions, Kong Donglai finally took a deep breath and said, "Yingzhi, you will temporarily stay in Nanyang County. I will go to the south to ask for help from the State of Jin!"
Kong Yingzhi immediately objected, "Dad, Nanyang County needs you to be in charge, so let me go to Jin State."
Kong Donglai shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid there will be a lot of negotiations when we go to the south. Well, take good care of Nanyang County. I'll leave now without further delay."
Kong Donglai acted quickly, and after a little preparation, he led a few trusted people directly south. The situation was indeed very critical. Anyang had blocked the news for two days, causing Nanyang County to completely lose the initiative. Without the help of external forces, Nanyang County had no chance of turning the situation around!
