Chapter 1,110: Stalemate
"General Ling..."
Before seeing the person, I heard the sound of him first.
Ling Yun heard Cai Hongyuan's voice and stood up and walked out of the living room.
"Mr. Cai..."
"General Ling, I finally saw you."
Cai Hongyuan walked over with a heavy breath, looked up and found sweating on his forehead, which shows how anxious he was.
Ling Yun guessed correctly. After Cai Hongyuan learned that he had entered the city, he rushed over, because he was afraid that he would not see others if he was too late.
The two met and compiled each other.
Then Lingyun welcomed him in and served him with good tea.

Cai Hongyuan took a short rest. Because he ran too fast just now and his body couldn't bear it, he sat down without speaking immediately. Instead, he sat for a while, drank a cup of tea, and then said slowly, "I dare to ask General Ling, do you have a good idea in your heart. When will you attack Xixia?"
Cai Hongyuan did not go around in circles, but went straight to the point.
This time, he didn't want to sit and talk again like last time, but in the end he got nothing and returned without success.
So this time, it was straightforward and explained the purpose of the trip directly.
When Ling Yun heard this, he pretended to be frowning, saying, "I will not hide it from Lord Cai, I haven't thought of a good attack yet."
"This..." Cai Hongyuan felt inexplicably sank when he saw this.
Just as he was about to speak, Ling Yun took the lead, "Mr. Cai should know that Xixia has arranged 30,000 people in Xingyuan Prefecture, and the number of Xixia troops in Jingzhao Prefecture is unknown. There are only 30,000 people under the sub-province, and the same force is used to attack the city... I have been thinking hard these days, but I really can't think of any good strategy to destroy the city."
"Oh!" After saying that, he sighed to the sky.
Cai Hongyuan heard the implication that Ling Yun's move was nothing more than asking him for troops. He had already said it once before.
There are 40,000 defenders in Jinzhou Prefecture, but Ling Yun fell in love with the 10,000 cavalry stationed outside the city. How could Cai Hongyuan let go?

Cavalry is a good thing. A cavalry with more than 10,000 people can reach a role that can exceed 20,000 to 30,000, or even more infantry can't achieve.
In desperation, Cai Hongyuan suggested to Lingyun that the 10,000 cavalry could help, but he was still unwilling to hand over the command.
If Ling Yun cannot get command, how could he start a war easily?
If he led his army to break the city, and the cavalry rushed into Xingyuan Mansion when the city was broken, there would be someone falsely reporting that they broke the city and said to the higher authorities that he had broken the city, he could only drink soup.
Of course, this situation is almost impossible.
Ling Yun's move was to prevent trouble before it happened. In fact, the most important thing was that the army lacked cavalry, so he was careful when attacking that cavalry.
Cai Hongyuan couldn't let go, Ling Yun was unwilling to give in, and the conversation between the two gradually entered a stalemate from the beginning when they were relaxed.
"General Ling, if the army is slow to move, I'm afraid His Majesty will not be able to explain it!"
Since I can't persuade me, I can only threaten me.
Although Cai Hongyuan is not willing to make the relationship tense, he can only do this in the current situation, otherwise he will not be able to submit a job.

Ling Yun smiled slightly, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and then he said slowly, "Master Cai may not know that when he came, His Majesty had an order. If he was not sure of his mission, don't go to war with Xixia and go to the old path of Heqirui."
Cai Hongyuan's face froze, but he was powerless to refute.
So he straightened himself up and said seriously, "Does the general plan to just waste it?"
"There is no way to do this," Ling Yun said helplessly.
"Unless, Lord Cai is willing to cooperate..." Ling Yun threw down a meaningful sentence and smiled sincerely at Cai Hongyuan.
"This matter is too much to do, and I can't make a decision." Cai Hongyuan eventually became perverted and said that he couldn't make the decision about the cavalry.
He paused and said, "If General Ling agrees, he can order the 10,000 cavalrymen to assist the general in siege."
Fearing that Ling Yun was unwilling, Cai Hongyuan continued to add, "If the general is not at ease, he can add 10,000 infantry. The command power of the 10,000 infantry can be decided to hand it over to the general..."
"I wonder if the general is willing?"
"Mr. Cai, this tea is really good!"

After thinking for a while, Ling Yun went into the room to rest.
And in Xingyuan Prefecture, due to the arrival of Lingyun, a fierce debate started in Xixia.
It turned out that there were two kinds of sounds in the Western Xia army.
Some people think that the big fight is set in the sun, the army is corrupt, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit. They suggest that the army pursue the victory and conquer Jinzhou and Lizhou City. With these four city camps, this will completely occupy Yongyuan Province and also help defending the big fight.
Some people think that it should stop when the situation is good. It is already a surprise to take down Jingzhao Prefecture and Xingyuan Prefecture. The army should stop and stabilize the two prefectures. If the attack continues, it will only attract more troops from the Dakan army. The foundation is unstable at that time, it may rebound. The Dakan army will increase its troops one after another.
The senior military leaders had different opinions, so the Xixia Kingdom had no other actions for a long time, which gave the opportunity to breathe.
Especially the army on Lizhou City, facing the fierce Xixia army, everyone was afraid and was afraid before the battle. If it weren't for the governor Fan Zizhen, the governor, he would have been afraid that the enemy would have abandoned the city and fled before the enemy could have entered.
It's ridiculous to think about it. Fan Zizhen directly mobilized 50,000 troops, and the troops in other cities were at least 100,000. However, this guy did not do anything and did not even dare to take the initiative to attack, which caused the current situation.
The governor was embarrassed to do this.
After careful consideration, I feel that it is normal, mainly because the system of tycoons has great disadvantages.

The governor is a civil servant. He lets civil servants take charge of the army, which greatly limits the combat effectiveness of the army.
No matter whether you can fight or not, the civil servants dare not take the initiative to attack and are afraid before the battle. How can they win this battle?
If the military and political affairs are separated, civil officials will be in charge of finance, and military generals will be in charge of the army, and the right to fight will be handed over to the hands of military generals, this will greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the army, and the military generals can also seize the opportunity to attack the enemy and will not be in a passive state all the time.
Ling Yun also had such a suggestion at the beginning, but unfortunately the Ministry of War did not adopt it, let alone where Emperor Ganxi was.
Since that day, Cai Hongyuan has stopped looking for Ling Yun, and the relationship between the two has become estranged.
Ling Yun just smiled and said nothing.
In short, whoever can last until the end will be the real winner.
Although he was not in a hurry to start a war, Ling Yun had been thinking about the way to break the city, because when he came, he boasted about Haikou, not only wanted to defeat the Xixia army, but also took back Xingyuan Mansion.
Only in this way can we see Zhao Ningxue when we continue to go to the court.
Otherwise, even if the attack of Xixia Kingdom was blocked, Ling Yun would still not be able to see Zhao Ningxue. This is the original words of Li Zi.

After careful consideration, Ling Yun thought of other countermeasures.
Since it doesn't work for Cai Hongyuan, he will think of ways to change it and try to work on Fan Zizhen.
Cai Hongyuan refused, but Fan Zizhen was not sure.
Ling Yun also thought about it. If this time it wouldn't work for Fan Zizhen, then he would go to He Yushan and work hard toward the Ministry of War...
He didn't believe it anymore, and he couldn't take down these ten thousand cavalrymen.
He did what he said, Ling Yun immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to send it to Fan Zizhen.
Lizhou Prefecture.
Fan Zizhen sat in the study room, with a letter sent by Cai Hongyuan in front of him. After seeing the contents clearly, his brows frowned deeply.
It states the requirements for Ling Yun's attack. If the command of the 10,000 cavalry was not given to him, then Ling Yun would not move his troops.
Although Fan Zizhen was not a military general and could not fight, he also knew the importance of cavalry. If the command of these 10,000 cavalry was sent out, it can be foreseen that Ling Yun would never return it.

In fact, this is not the point. What Fan Zizhen is worried about is that if this cavalry is in Ling Yun's hands, Ling Yun will not only fail to capture Xingyuan Mansion, but also rescue He Qirui, but will also consume the cavalry. Only then will he really lose his wife and his troops.
Only because of this concern did Fan Zizhen feel worried.
If ten thousand cavalry could capture Xingyuan Mansion, Fan Zizhen would definitely not say anything and immediately hand over the command of the cavalry.
Anyway, although he can be mobilized, he has not trained it himself, nor is he a confidant... He won't care.
