If the female emperor does not return the bride price, then I rebelled

Chapter 023

June.

By noon.

The sun outside Beiyan City began to get hot.

This day.

On the city tower of Northern Yan City, inside the Yan King Mansion.

I don’t know when many were added wearing bright armor.

Soldier with a crossbow.

In the distance of the city wall, the residents of Beiyan City, who had just left the city, looked at the newly appeared crossbowman legion in surprise.

They wondered how many troops King Xiaoyan had in this Northern Yan City.

They wondered even more, whether these troops were all left by the old Yan King.

But what they are most puzzled about is how these troops are hidden.

Inside the Yan King Mansion at this time.

Lin Yang did not sit on the golden throne of King Yan.

Instead, he walked to the middle of the hall of government affairs.

Concentrate slightly.

Open the panoramic map of Beiyan City at will.

“When Northern Yan City was built, it was built as a standard for a military fortress.”

“Mainly for the Bei Mang people from the northern grasslands.”

“There are horse faces, urn cities, sheep and horse walls, moats, and so on.”

“At the same time, beacon towers, watchtowers, and hidden caves were set up in various places in the city.”

“It’s a standard fortress building.”

“There are eight granaries in the city, and ten deep wells that do not freeze all year round.”

“The reserves are enough for 200,000 people for three years.”

“At the same time, in the fang market in the city, the houses are made of hard granite strips from the iron stone city, which is extremely difficult to destroy.”

“Even if the walls are breached, you can use the houses for street fighting.”

“Of course, there are not many people living in it.”

“It is also extremely difficult to expand Beiyan City.”

“The minimum number of conscripts to be requisitioned is half a million, and it takes three years.”

Lin Yang’s fingers tapped slightly.

With his little narration little by little.

The panoramic presentation of the entire Beiyan City, except for the 3D holographic picture, appeared in front of you.

This time.

A middle-aged man holding a feather fan, wearing a silk scarf on his head, and his face was white and handsome, nodded slightly.

“What His Royal Highness King Yan said, Liang is already clear in his heart.”

“Ran Liang privately thinks that Beiyan City does not need to expand!”

Lin Yang looked at the handsome middle-aged man in front of him.

There was a faint joy in his eyes.

Because it is Zhuge Kongming who stands in front of him.

He also did not expect that the person who commanded Zhuge Lian’s crossbow was Zhuge Liang.

Others don’t know, but he does.

Zhuge Liang, as a military talent, is a talented person.

This is an all-round talent who can govern the army on the horse and manage the people on the horse.

The most suitable position is Prime Minister.

And his Beiyan City can finally usher in a special government official.

Therefore, Lin Yang directly ordered.

Zhuge Liang was appointed as the Xiangguo of Northern Yancheng.

Commander of all things in Northern Yan City.

At the same time, he was brought to the temple.

Discuss the expansion of Beiyan City.

Because of this city, it has limited its own development.

If you don’t expand your territory, even the 300,000 people displaced by the Yellow Turban Army can’t let go.

I heard Zhuge Liang say that there is no need to expand Beiyan City.

Lin Yang was a little surprised in his heart, but he was not too surprised.

Because the person in front of you is Zhuge Liang.

He must have his own reasons.

“His Royal Highness King Yan.”

“Beiyan City is too remote.”

“The surrounding land is permafrost, which is not suitable for agricultural production at all.”

“The land that can be used for planting cannot feed the population of Northern Yancheng.”

“Therefore, the function of the city is only purely military.”

“He’s a giant watchtower, a big beacon.”

“Used to invade the steppe.”

“But it’s definitely not suitable for reclamation.”

“The economy of Beiyan City is not local, but behind.”

“Please look at the Northern Yan Territory.”

“A total of eighteen cities, of which the other 17 cities serve Beiyan City.”

“If you just tap the potential of Beiyan City itself, your subordinates believe that there is no potential here.”

“It’s better to take advantage of the current strength.”

“South!”

“Take the 17th city of Beiyan.”

“As long as the 17 cities of Beiyan are behind you, Beiyan City is as stable as Mount Tai.”

Lin Yang nodded.

Zhuge Kongming is right.

I also thought this before.

It’s just that the news spread out with the capture of Pegasus, Iron Stone, and the Three Cities of Yanwu.

The remaining 14 cities must be on guard.

If you want to take these cities in a short time.

Already somewhat unrealistic.

Unless!

Zhuge Liang had other ideas.

Lin Yang asked curiously.

“The Prime Minister has a plan?”

“Help me take the remaining 14 cities of Beiyan.”

Zhuge Kongming’s eyes froze slightly.

The feather fan in his hand shook slightly.

Then he said.

“King Yan!”

“Judging by the map.”

“The remaining 14 cities in this Northern Yan.”

“It’s also a trapezoidal arrangement.”

“They are like chains in the territory of Northern Yan.”

“In peacetime, send the materials of Northern Yan to Beiyan City.”

“In times of war, it’s like a chain, locking Beiyan City to death.”

“Now General Huo, General Gao has taken Tieshi and other three cities.”

“It’s equivalent to opening the first chain.”

“From now on, using the population of Iron Stone City, you can obtain weapons.”

“Soldiers trained in Yanwu City can quickly obtain elite soldiers.”

“With the ranch of Pegasus City, you can get good horses.”

“But this advantage is also to the north, not to the south.”

“To the south, 14 cities still have three strong defensive lines.”

“At the same time, the territory of these three cities is not large, and our strategic depth is small.”

“But if you can take the Shubei, Xuanwu, naturalization, grain gathering, and a thousand horse city.”

“You can break the second line of defense while occupying half of the territory of Northern Yan.”

“At that time, we will be able to use these five cities as a base point.”

“Push the front out and fight outside the territory.”

“Even !!!”

“General Huo Qubing’s hussars can also attack from the direction of a thousand horses.”

“Cut off the food route of the Southern Chu army entering the army.”

“Forcing them to divide their troops!!!”

“And we can concentrate superior forces and completely annihilate !!!”

“It doesn’t matter how many times he comes.”

“I’ll just fight all the way.”

When Zhuge Liang narrates.

Red lines of marching appeared on the sand table.

After Lin Yang saw it, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But the pressure given by Nan Chu was too great.

Once the opponent’s half a million main forces arrive.

Here in Beiyan, there are only four cities of their own.

Block them.

Lin Yang lacked confidence, so he thought of strengthening the city defense.

Take advantage of the weather and terrain in Beimang, to drag the opposite side.

Just drag the army of Southern Chu into Northern Yan until winter.

The weather in the north of Yancheng condenses into ice in winter.

Not to mention logistical supplies, a single blizzard can destroy the other side.

Therefore, Lin Yang’s plan was to make full use of the existing four cities and strengthen the defense little by little.

Until!

Winter is coming.

But now what Zhuge Liang said, especially after taking five cities.

Especially the Thousand Horse City.

There is more room for the use of troops.

Instead of being trapped in the small area of the Four Cities to the north.

Forced by the enemy to fight a decisive battle in the highlands.

It’s just how to take these five cities!

Lin Yang said after a moment of silence.

“Reject North City, Xuanwu City, Naturalized City.”

“The city lord of the three cities has not surrendered to Southern Chu for the time being.”

“Now it is still surrounded by Southern Chu.”

“Plus these three cities are close to the Yanmen defense line in Southern Chu.”

“If you want to relieve the siege, I am afraid that Southern Chu will send troops to come.”

“The remaining thousand horses and the city of grain.”

“It’s all big cities, and now it’s prepared.”

“Especially after knowing the specific battle report of our three cities of Yanwu.”

“I’m afraid I won’t be fooled easily.”

At this time, Zhuge Liang smiled faintly.

“King Yan, please rest assured.”

“Take these two cities, two days at most!”

Lin Yang’s face was overjoyed.

“What’s the plan?”

Zhuge Liang walked to the desk.

A quick drawing of the instrument was then drawn.

“King Yan, please take a look.”

“This is a trebuchet.”

“Ironstone City is rich in boulders.”

“At the same time, there is also the fierce fire oil of Beiyan, a specialty of iron making.”

“After polishing this boulder, launch it with a trebuchet.”

“It’s mid-summer and it’s getting warmer.”

“We hollowed out the stones, put in the fire oil, and threw them into the city.”

“Within the two cities, there will be a hell of flames.”

“If the enemy resists.”

“In just two days, the inhabitants of the city will be killed by the fire.”

After Lin Yang heard this, his heart was shocked.

“Zhuge Liang is good at fire attack.”

“Now it seems that this really didn’t lie to me!”

“It’s just that the killing is too heavy, and if you get it, it will be an empty city.”

But Lin Yang thought about it.

If you take two cities, maybe there will be displaced people again.

At that time, there may be a lot of worry.

Come to think of it.

Lin Yang got up and said, ‘Good! ’

“That’s it.”

“The personnel and materials inside and outside Beiyan City, as well as the three cities of Pegasus, Yanwu, and Iron and Stone, are at your disposal.”

“It is expected that the siege can begin in a few days.”

Zhuge Liang said after a moment of silence.

“Two days!”

Lin Yang stepped forward and held Zhuge Liang’s hand.

“Then everything will get rid of the prime minister.”

“Dare not die!”

Just as Zhuge Liang left.

Lin Yang clenched his fists.

“It’s also time for these cities that are trying to resist me to see.”

“How terrifying is recalcitrant resistance.”

Lin Yang drank decisively.

“Coming!”
