Chapter 860 Secret talk!
"Wu Ming's army is the best reason for unification. As for Concubine Ning's side, I already have plans. This time, I will not put this matter openly and have to play in secret!" Ying Chang said expressionlessly.
"Do it secretly?"
Yang Ze, Ma Dadan, Luo Xing and Pei Ji looked at each other, not understanding the meaning of Ying Chang's second half.
Ying Chang saw the puzzled expressions of the four people, and immediately explained indifferently: "Tomorrow, I will announce that the Qin Dynasty officially declares war on the Zhao Dynasty, but I will tell you that the Qin Dynasty is not the Zhao Dynasty, but the Xia Dynasty. Now, there are detailed works by the Zhao Dynasty in the palace. When they hear this news, they will definitely notify the Zhao Dynasty!"
"At that time, I will order Shangyang Hou to increase troops in the mountain camp, and act like he would not attack Zhao or sneak attack Xia. After receiving a detailed report, Zhao's court heard that the army in the mountain camp was increased, and he would definitely put down his vigilance and think that I, the Qinzheng, would not attack Zhao!"
"The Xia Dynasty rarely cares about the outside world because of internal struggle. In addition, the Zhao Dynasty declared war on the Great Qin Dynasty. The Xia Dynasty would never have thought that my Great Qin target was him. Of course, the day before the attack on Xia, I would send someone to the Xia Dynasty to declare war to avoid the Qin Dynasty being infamous for a tacit war!"
"In this way, I, Daqin, will definitely catch them off guard and attack Huanglong in one go, in order to destroy Zhao Xia as quickly as possible and further promote the great cause of unification of Jiuzhou!"
"The reason I secretly recalled you two is because I will not upload an order to you two on the surface, and it is not enough to pass secret orders!"
"Once someone is sent to pass on the order or secret order, more or less clues will be revealed and they will be noticed. Only by talking face to face and preparing you two will you not be known by outsiders. Do you understand?"
Luo Xing and Ma Dabang showed a sudden enlightenment and immediately responded: "I understand!"
Yang Ze has not come back to his senses for a long time, because the amount of information is too large.
Ying Chang pointed his hand at the map, and it was said that the place was the imperial capital of Shangqiu, the Xia Dynasty. "Shangqiu, the Xia Dynasty's imperial capital, the Xia Dynasty implemented a policy of centralization of power and wealth. All the powerful families in Shangqiu are in Shangqiu, which is one of the most important cities in the Xia Dynasty!"
"Shangqiu is five hundred miles away from Manshan Pass, so close to you. General Ma, your primary task is to take Shangqiu within one month after the war begins. Otherwise, the garrisons from all over the Xia Dynasty would come over to help, and it would not be easy to fight at that time!"
Hearing this, Ma Dabang was excited. He originally thought that Ying Chang would let the battle be commanded by Shangyang Hou, but he did not expect that the battle was commanded by him himself.
My good brother Zhao Hua has fought several wars commanded by himself, but he has not. Now he has finally had the opportunity to stand alone, and he has to destroy a dynasty alone, so how can he not be excited!
"I will never let down Your Majesty's high expectations!" Ma Dadan blushed with excitement!
Ying Chang's finger moved and pointed to three positions south of Hulao Pass. The three positions were: Donggu County, Beichang County, and Tianyang County!
"The three counties of Donggu, Beichang and Tianyang are three counties north of the Zhao Dynasty. There is a Changmen Pass above to resist the enemy in the north, and there are five counties south of Huangjiang Guard. General Luo is the first priority to attack Zhao. He is to seize the Changmen. He cannot fight separately by taking the Changmen. He should drive straight in and pass through Beichang County to seize the Huangjiang Cable Bridge first!"
"If you occupy the Huangjiang Cable Bridge, the navy does not need to participate in the attack on Zhao. Of course, it is extremely difficult to occupy the Huangjiang Cable Bridge. If you fail to occupy the Huangjiang Cable Bridge first, the army will attack the east and west sides, capture the two counties of Donggu and Tianyang, and finally wait for the navy to pass through the Haikou of the Xia Dynasty and enter the Huangjiang River Basin to help your army overcome and destroy Zhao!" Ying Chang decisively and quickly made a battle plan.
"I obey the order!" Luo Xing responded with a solemn expression.
After deciding a battle plan for Ma Dabang and Luo Xing, Ying Chang asked Pei Ji to put away the map, stand up straight, and looked at everyone with a solemn expression and said, "The time to attack Xia and Zhao is March 1 next year. Once the time comes, I will immediately go south!"
"Before this, I will ask the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War to prepare for all war matters. What do you lack? Report directly to the Ministry of War, or you can also say now that I will send someone to do it!"
"Your Majesty, you have nothing else, it's just a lack of shells!" Ma Da said boldly.
Luo Xing nodded as well.
Ying Chang turned to look at Yang Ze, "How many shells are there in Hyogo now?"
"When you go back to your Majesty, you have built 1.2 million shells so far this year, plus 2 million shells in stock last year, and now there are 3.2 million shells in stock!" Yang Ze replied respectfully.
"The order is issued to 120 artillery battalions across the country, and each artillery battalion allocates 20,000 artillery shells, and the Ministry of War will implement it immediately!"
In order to cover up, Ying Chang naturally could not just allocate shells to Hulao Camp and the Shanshan Camp. Otherwise, wouldn't it be noticed? So he could only allocate shells to the national artillery camp with great fanfare, so that no one would notice the targeted nature.
"I will receive the order!" Yang Ze bent down and responded in an uproar.
"Okay, that's all about this. General Luo and General Ma returned to their respective camps at night. Remember, you must not let the rest know that you two are back to Beijing!" Ying Chang said with a cautious look on his face.
"I understand!" Ma Dadan and Luo Xingxing gave up. With Ying Chang's permission, the two hurriedly left the imperial study room. With the cooperation of Lu Quan and Cao Zhen, the two disappeared into the palace, as if they had never been there.
"Your Majesty, you are really crazy!"
After Ma Dadan left with Luo Xing, Yang Ze was amused and crying.
At the same time, wars started with two dynasties, one of which was very powerful, so it was really crazy!
"Crazy? Haha!"
Ying Chang couldn't help but smile and said disapprovingly: "What's the madness? If the Qi Dynasty had not had a good friendship with our Qin Dynasty and Zhongshan Kingdom was a vassal state of the Yue Dynasty, otherwise, I would not have started a war on both sides, but started a war on the fourth line, mobilizing all the troops that could be mobilized, and destroy Xia, Zhao, Zhongshan Kingdom, Qi in one breath!"
"Fortunately, Your Majesty did not start the war on the fourth line, otherwise I would have to spend more time to persuade Your Majesty!" Yang Ze shook his head and smiled bitterly, feeling helpless and shocked.
The Emperor in front of him is far more crazy than he thought!
In the following time, Ying Chang continued to discuss important matters with Yang Ze for a while, and after about a stick of incense, Yang Ze left, Ying Chang sat back on the dragon throne to review the memorials, and only returned to Xianyang Palace to sleep when he was yawning.
The next day, April 20th!
Chen Time!
Xianyang City, the Imperial Palace, and the Qilin Hall!
Chapter completed!
