When he said this, Ma Dali suddenly closed his mouth tightly, and then took a sip of the water glass in front of him with a look of embarrassment.
It seems that he did it out of desperation, but in fact it was just for Hammod.The key point is in what way to tell the other party, and the other party can believe it a little bit.Looking at it now, the goal should be achievable.
The goal was indeed achieved, and Ma Dali's performance was too realistic, and this was a sudden question, and people would often answer involuntarily with the most authentic situation.More importantly, Hamed was sure that the other party didn't know what happened on the front line, so he didn't have time to confess to the Five-Star Army.
Of course, the most important point is that the result of his analysis is that the Five Star Army has reinforcements. Ma Dali's answer coincides with his own deduction.It's just that he didn't expect that the reinforcements who came were all untrained civilians.
And if all of this is true, Siam only needs to block the five-star army's crowd attack, and then it can turn defeat into victory and regain control of the battle situation.
Excited by the sudden news in his heart, Hamad suppressed his decision to negotiate peace with Ma Dali. He only cared about the food and accommodation, and said that he came to Bangkok. It is a guest, if you have any needs, you can ask for it at any time, and Suikou Hamod left with a look of anxiety.
He was indeed a little anxious. He needed to report the situation he had just received to the king, and then reconsider how many reinforcements he would send.
In the Siamese palace, King Ilich was overjoyed when he heard Hammod's report, "So, the Five Star Army did send reinforcements, and it should have been discussed a long time ago, but they have nothing to send. , did you send some people here?”
"Yes. It seems that this special envoy has been out for more than a month. Naturally, it is not clear what the situation on the battlefield is. He can tell about the reinforcements. It should be the policy that the Five-Star Army has set before he came. Hehe , Congratulations to Your Majesty, the five-star army has already produced its elite, and now even ordinary people have to use it. Facing these people who have not received any training, they have nothing to fear except for their large number." Haha Maud bowed his waist, a look of congratulations.
This also drew bursts of laughter from Hammod, "Haha, okay, okay, Mr. Xiangguo, you have done a good job in this matter. Now that we know the reality of the Five-Star Army, according to Xiangguo's opinion, we How should we deal with it?"
"Your Majesty, I believe that the enemy's only advantage is the large number of people. If we can also send more soldiers to join the battle, creating an irresistible momentum, it will not be so difficult to win." On the way when we came Hammod, who had already thought about the countermeasures, spoke a little excitedly at the moment.
"Oh? Prime Minister Zuo means to continue sending more reinforcements?" Ilrich probably understood the meaning of these words.
"Yes, it is to continue to send more reinforcements. As long as we can defeat the Five-Star Army in one go, it will not be difficult to win the next victory. It is only reasonable to take the opportunity to expand our territory in Siam." Full of confidence. Hamad, with a smile and excitement on his face.
He has always attached great importance to Hammod's ability. After hearing these analysis, Iliki also thinks it is reasonable, and immediately nodded in response: "There are still 30 troops in the king's capital waiting to be dispatched, so what should be done according to Xiangguo's wishes?" do it?"
"Forgive me for your boldness. Your Majesty, please show courage. Only 2000 troops will be left, and [-] reinforcements will be sent to the northern and eastern roads to attack with an overwhelming advantage. They will completely frighten the five-star army and destroy their morale. One battle can determine the world. By the way, since so many reinforcements have been sent, the tactics must be changed. We can’t just send [-] people to fight with the opponent at a time, but we should concentrate them to achieve the effect of deterrence.”
"Okay, let's convene a meeting of courtiers right away, and listen to the opinions of the courtiers on this matter." Seeing that Hammod spoke in a reasonable and orderly manner, Ilici has already agreed to [-]%. Specific things are just added.
The king already agreed in his heart, and Xiangguo strongly agreed with it. Naturally, there will be no one who does not have eyes in the court to stop it.Even though Chun Hawang was a little displeased at being robbed of the limelight by Hamod, he could only watch bitterly from the sidelines at this point.
After sending 80 reinforcements to the Eastern Route Army, the capital also sent 70 troops to the North and Eastern Route Army respectively. So far, [-] of Siam's [-] regular troops have been dispatched. The war is not too much.
Here, the Siamese Army sent reinforcements, and Qing Ci, an excellent CIA intelligence agent who stayed in Bangkok, passed the news through the radio.Yang Chendong was very happy when he heard the news.Siam also sent a large army to die, and he was as happy as if someone handed him a pillow when he was sleepy. "Order down, Tian Hu and others come to the main account for a meeting."
The main force of the Siamese army was finally exhausted, which gave Yang Chendong the opportunity to defeat each of them, and this was also one of his plans. Otherwise, if the 80 Siamese army gathered together, then with the strength of the Yang army I'm afraid I really don't have such an appetite now.
After calling Tian Hu and others and telling them the Siamese army's movements, Yang Chendong asked them to make tactical changes. With so many enemies coming, he probably wouldn't play two thousand against two thousand with him. Noisy game.But to say that one hundred thousand is against one hundred thousand is not what Yang Chendong meant.The so-called excellent commanders on the battlefield must try their best to take the initiative first, and then guide the situation on the battlefield to develop as they expect.
Yang Chendong is undoubtedly an excellent combat commander, so he made the decision to change from two thousand to five thousand people, and at the same time made a tactical decision to retreat when necessary, attract the opponent to chase, and then force the opponent to split up and attack .
To put it bluntly, if the opponent's forces are relatively concentrated, then retreat, and don't be in a hurry to fight the opponent. When the enemy starts to divide their troops, they are looking for opportunities to fight. This is like eating rice, eating it in one bite.
The tactical plan is determined, and then it is executed. There is still some time before the main force of the Siamese reinforcements arrives. This is the time for the five-star army to prepare, which can be said to be ample.
It has been more than two months since the battle with the Siamese army, and this is a rare time limit for Yang Chendong to fight.Looking at the past, when destroying a power or a country, Yang Chendong prefers to use a quick way to cut through the mess, just like when he attacked North Korea, he attacked the Phnom Penh Dynasty in one go without even giving the other party time to react. That is to say, in the current Cambodian provincial time, it only took 31 days from the first shot to the end.
The reason for such a result is that one is adequately prepared, and the other is that the troops are abundant.But this time the well-prepared side was replaced by Siam. They first made all the plans, and then started the attack with 80 soldiers. They caught the Yang family by surprise first, which made the time limit for this battle continue to extend.Fortunately, Yang Chendong finally controlled the rhythm of the battle, and it was time to watch the performance of the Five Star Army.
Reinforcements from the Siamese Army began to appear on the battlefield. They first assembled in the border city of Sa Kaeo on the east side of Siam, and then, with 5 people as an echelon, a total of five teams of 25 people went out of the city to oppress the Five-Star Army. Come.
The five-star army, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately began to shrink its strength and kept retreating, showing that it did not dare to fight.In order to attract the opponent to go deep and find a suitable fighter, this retreat returned to the territory of Cambodia.
At the beginning, some people were still worried that if they withdrew from the border of Siam Province, would the 25 Siamese troops continue to pursue them.Faced with such worries, Yang Chendong directly gave a very positive answer. Greedy people will never know how to be satisfied. Look, the Siamese Army will not stop advancing because of our retreat. After all, this time it was originally initiated by them. The first attack, their intention to expand has been very clear.
The facts were as Yang Chendong expected. When the Five-Star Army withdrew from the border of Siam and retreated to the border city of Poipet in Cambodia, the Siamese Army really chased them across the border. Apparently, 20 reinforcements came to help. The morale of some people has been boosted, and they want to make great achievements.
Chapter 45 Bottom line requirements
Since this is the case, of course Yang Chendong will help them.In order to achieve the goal of severely injuring the Siamese army, Yang Chendong made two decisions.First, to lure the enemy deep, and second, to fortify the wall and clear the field.
He wants to introduce the lion-mouthed Siamese army into his territory and look for opportunities to attack. At the same time, he does not leave anything usable for the opponent, forcing the opponent to transport food and grass long distances, and then attack.
When it comes to strengthening the wall and clearing the field, as the party who executes it, there is a price to pay.Much of its loss is in the interest of the common people.But the good thing is that the Siamese army walked through these towns before, burning, killing and looting all the way. The people here have already suffered a disaster, and they have nothing valuable in their hands. a lot of.
The 25 Siamese troops continued to advance, singing triumphant songs, walking through Poipet City, Poetry City, Angkor Thom and other places with a defiant look, and continued to go deep into Cambodia Province along the edge of the Tonle Sai River .
When the news reached the city of Bangkok, King Ilich was very happy.Unexpectedly, the seemingly powerful Five-Star Army turned out to be such a strong outsider. He was glad that he had listened to the words of Prime Minister Hamad and sent a large number of reinforcements. Otherwise, he would have been bluffed by the Five-Star Army.
Ilich was in a good mood, and even the people of the entire Siamese country felt very good about themselves. When the streets and alleys were filled with news that the soldiers in front had won successive battles, the people were all rejoicing. In order to express their excitement, some people even came outside the mission compound, tried to enter here, and dragged Ma Dali and others out to parade.
After all, this also represents the post of the Siamese envoys, and the Siamese soldiers guarding here will naturally not allow ordinary people to rush in here.It was just because when there were more and more people nearby, they finally couldn't bear the pressure, so they asked someone to report to Xiangguo.
The two armies are at war, and they are still not beheaded.What's more, the current Siamese army has not won the final victory.On the battlefield, the situation can be said to be ever-changing. If these envoys sent by the Five-Star Army are really killed now, the two sides will really have no choice but to die endlessly.
Seeing this, Hammod came outside the mission compound and brought a thousand soldiers to protect it.Ordinarily, this is just the most normal behavior, even his job, but when all this fell into the eyes of the first-rank general Chun Hawang who had been looking for trouble, he did see an opportunity. Under the instigation, news soon spread in the streets and alleys of the capital, that is, Xiangguo Hamed had long been friends with the Five-Star Army in private, and this time he risked offending the people to protect the Five-Star Army Messenger's safety.
Where there is no wind, there is no wave, and many untrue things are often controlled by rumors, and eventually become facts in people's eyes.
Hamad advocated the use of a large number of reinforcements, which won the appreciation of King Yiliqi, especially the large-scale combat he advocated, and the strategy of not giving the Five-Star Army to defeat each one made the army continue to occupy a large area of Cambodia Province.All of this is credit, and it is the cause and effect of envy, jealousy, and hatred in the eyes of others.
When one person's contribution is too great, it will attract more people's dissatisfaction.This is the case with Hammond at the moment. As the prime minister, he led the ministers, and this time he has made such a great contribution, which naturally makes other people feel a sense of common hatred and hatred.And it was at this time that Chun Hawang made a move. The ministers led by him collectively wrote a letter to impeach Hammod, saying that he had colluded with the Five-Star Army mission in private, and even sent Siamese soldiers to fight against the Siamese people. This is the biggest challenge to imperial power.
Ilich, who was able to bring Siam into the Ayutthaya era, was not a fool. When he saw these memorials, he was not moved by them, but put them aside and ignored them, turned around and walked towards the harem.
In the harem, the most favored concubine, the elder sister of Chunhawang, had already received the news. When she saw the king's arrival, she tried her best to please her and served her in every possible way to please her.It seemed that when he found out that Yi Liqi's complexion was a little bit unintentional, he asked him why.If you say that the king is also a human being, he also has happiness and troubles. There are some things that he can't tell the courtiers below, and the person next to his pillow has become the target of his catharsis, so he said the matter of the courtiers' impeachment of Hammond. .
The beloved concubine, who had been prepared for a long time, had the opportunity to speak up, so she would not let it go. She seemed to say intentionally or unintentionally at the moment, "The king does not need to worry, Mr. Xiangguo has done a lot for the country. His credit Even the harem has already spread the word, and some people even say..."
Hesitating to speak and stopping will often have a different effect. It seems that the concubine suddenly stopped talking for a while, which feels quite tantalizing, and has successfully attracted Hamod's attention, " What did someone say?"
"This, the concubine dare not say." With a look of panic on her face, she had to say that she was really buried if she didn't go to act.
"It's okay, forgive your innocence, say." The more this happened, the more Iliki wanted to know what was going on.
Completely forced, Aifei said: "The people below said that Mr. Xiangguo has made great contributions. If there is no him, our Siamese country will be in danger now. The country is about to be defeated by the Five Star Army, such a person is an absolute wise man and a great hero..."
"That's enough." Before Aifei could finish speaking, Iliki's face was filled with anger.As a king, he should avoid the incompetence and uselessness of his ministers, but he should also avoid his ministers who are too capable. How can we say that there is a saying called the Lord of Gong Gao?
According to what Aifei said, it seems that Siam's existence today is entirely due to the merits of Xiangguo alone, but even he, the monarch, can't match it. How can this not make Yi Liqi, who has always been confident and self-respecting, angry? .
He admitted that Hammond is so capable that he can trust him to do many things with confidence.But when he has done everything well and even won a great reputation, as a monarch, he has to worry about whether the credit of his subjects is too great.
In this way, it is really not easy to be a minister.I can't do it, I can't do it even if I'm too capable, I really don't know what to do.
Aifei's words seemed meaningless, but the word Gonggao Lord has been deeply embedded in Yi Liqi's heart.Worried that some people have contributed too much, he has already made plans to suppress it.It's just that Ilici really has some abilities. He is not planning to deal with Hamod now, but will make a decision in this regard after the battle with the Five-Star Army is over.And this trip to the harem was nothing more than a thorn in his heart.
For these, Hammond didn't know, he was still doing things conscientiously, although many people knew about his impeachment, but they didn't take it seriously, all because he knew that Yi Liqi was a wise king, He shouldn't disbelieve himself just because of other people's words, so he does what he should do without restraint at all, but it is this confidence that brings him disaster in the end.
Ma Dali, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Yang Department who knows the world without going out, seems unable to have any contact with the outside world despite being trapped in the compound.But through a small radio station, the outside affairs still cannot be hidden from his eyes and ears.After receiving a telegram from Skylark, the southeast branch of the Ministry of Intelligence, and knowing what happened outside, he found a Siamese person in charge of the affairs here in the compound, and asked to see the first-rank general Chunha by name prosperous.
Chunhawang originally wanted to use this Yang-affiliated mission to disadvantage the Prime Minister, so naturally he would try his best to bribe the people in the compound if he could.The person in charge was one of the people who had been bribed, and the news was also found out by Yunque and the others. Ma Dali's request naturally fell into Chunhawang's ears.
When he heard the news for the first time, Chun Hawang still didn't understand Ma Dali's meaning. The more so, the more he felt that this meeting was very necessary, so he decided to meet him immediately, so the people below arranged Then, without disturbing Prime Minister Hamad, he entered the mission compound and met Ma Dali.
When we met on the first day of junior high school, Ma Dali put his status very low, even a little flattering, first of all he gave Chun Hawang a good feeling.The meeting was still very pleasant, Ma Dali took the opportunity and said according to the plan: "The Siamese army is invincible. Although I have been trapped here, I haven't heard from the five-star army for so long. The king of the country has no intention of receiving us. I can think of what will happen in the future. In the yearning for peace and friendship, he is willing to initiate peace talks on behalf of the Five-Star Army, and is even willing to send half of Cambodia The province is under the ownership of Siam, and we just hope that this war will end sooner."
