Chapter 91

    However, Emperor Jiayou also received a military memorial from Dingde seven days after Dingde's Beirong army retreated:

    the Beirong retreated urgently, and the more than 50,000 troops led by Su De to the north of Dingde all withdrew. . He felt that this was a golden opportunity, and hoped that the imperial court would send troops to Tiansha City to rescue Dingde.

    It was supposed to be a five-hundred-mile rush, but it took some time because of the need to climb mountains and ridges when heading east, and to bypass Tiansha City, which was occupied by Beirong.

    The matter was so important that Emperor Jiayou summoned Wei Pingguang to discuss it.

    Wei Pingguang said:

    "Your Majesty, no matter what the reason for Beirong's withdrawal, Dingde finally has a chance to breathe. Unlike before, he will undoubtedly fall..."

    He hesitated to express his opinion.

    Since Dingde can still be saved, he should take advantage of the weakening of the Beirong army to reinforce Dingde and defend Dingde City as much as possible.

    After all, Dingde's position is very critical. Occupying this strategic position and preventing Bei Rong from driving directly into the Qinchuan Plain, they may regain the Qinchuan Plain.

    In the past, Dingde was not rescued because there were more than 50,000 Beirong troops in the north of Dingde. When Tiansha was attacked, the Beirong would inevitably go around the mountains and divide their troops to help.

    But now, there are no soldiers in the north of Dingde, and the Beirong's attention is on the south of Dingde and the Qinghe front. Tiansha City's defense is weak. As long as they squeeze out their troops and send troops to make a surprise attack at this time, there is a great possibility to take back Tiansha City .

    After taking back Tiansha City, Liu Yuan can be sent military supplies and military supplies from the capital, and it also cuts off the possibility of Bei Rong's easy reinforcements again, which is equivalent to closing the door and beating dogs.

    Of course, this dog is a vicious dog, not that easy to fight, but no matter what, it is better than allowing the opponent to continuously provide reinforcements at any time.

    Emperor Jiayou pondered for a long time after listening, and said:

    "You are indeed right, just one point, where do the soldiers come from?"

    Wei Pingguang said:

    "Forbidden army."

    Now there are 150,000 forbidden troops near the capital. If you send the most elite 10,000 cavalry to go into battle and cross the mountains and rivers, it will take eleven or two days at most to reach Tiansha City.

    As for military supplies, there will be no big difference if the supplies are requisitioned along the road first, and then followed by large troops.

    Of the 150,000 forbidden troops in Beijing today, half of them can be transferred to reinforce Dingde.

    Tiansha City is more than 700 miles away from the capital, and the mountain road is controlled by Daqi's army.

    Emperor Jiayou pondered for a long time, looked at the map and deliberated over and over again, but finally rejected his proposal.

    "No, don't you know that Bei Rong is not cheating, deliberately luring the imperial army to go?"
