Chapter 431: Convince Li Siye!
Chapter 431
It has been a year since I was reincarnated and reborn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the past year, Wang Chong has changed too many things.
The Wang family has not declined, and the King of Song has not fallen out of favor, and the incident was intervened by him in the festival, which is not the same as the original......
In terms of his own forces, Wang Chong has also successfully established the Zhige Academy, established his own team, and obtained the two strategic weapons of Hyderabad ore and extraterrestrial meteorite.
Everything is on the right track, and Wang Chong's biggest concern now is the southwest.
Zhang Qiu and Qiong's transfer to the Beijing Division is a foregone conclusion, and Xian Yu Zhongtong has taken charge of the Sword Pavilion and officially took over the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate.
The pattern of the entire southwest of the empire is exactly the same as the memory of Wang Chong's previous life.
Although Wang Chong had already used the power of the Song King to transfer his father and eldest brother's army to the border area near the southwest, where they could enter Jiannan at any time, they did not stop there.
The current empire, whether it is Zhang Shouqi, Zhang Qiu Jianqiong, Ge Shuhan, Fumeng Lingcha, or Gao Xianzhi, they all have a strong view of the region and territory.
If the father and eldest brother were forcibly inserted into the Sword Pavilion, it would only cause Xianyu Zhongtong in the southwest and Zhang Qiu and Qiong in the capital to be suspicious, suspecting that the Wang family wanted to meddle in the southwest, divide their power, and weaken their power.
That's just going to be the opposite!
The southwest is not the Wang family's sphere of influence, Zhang Qiu and Qiong and Xian Yu Zhongtong are self-contained, and they will not obey Wang Chong's orders, and the entire Wang family is not big enough to control the capital of an empire.
And this is also what Wang Chong is worried about.
Although he already knew the dangers ahead, there were very few measures he could take, and if he was too radical, he would only arouse the hostility of Zhang Qiu and Qiong and Xian Yu Zhongtong.
However, Wang Chong could not ignore the huge impact and trauma of the future southwest on the empire......
This is exactly Wang Chong's current dilemma.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, even if he carries the memories of two lives and is reincarnated as a human being, some things still cannot be changed.
Wang Chong can only find a way to do his meager strength and do his best to change those disasters that may occur in the future.
And the southwest is the starting point of everything!
In the room, Li Siye had long been shocked by Wang Chong's overturned tone.
The threat to the empire was not in the northwest, but in the southwest, which he had never heard before. On the frontiers of the empire, it was agreed by all that the southwest of the empire was the least likely to clash.
It's been quiet there for too long. In terms of the degree of the conflict and the situation of the war, even Longxi and Anton can't compare, let alone the Western Regions.
But Wang Chong said that the greatest threat to the empire came from the southwest.
If there is a different person, Li Siye will only feel that it is not worth it, and scoff, thinking that this guy is crazy.
But during the time he was in contact with Wang Chong, Li Siye knew deeply that the young man in front of him must not be taken lightly.
"How do you know?"
Li Siye said, his eyes were shocked.
If Wang Chong said that it was Anton or Longxi, he would not be so surprised. But the southwest ......
In the territory of the empire, the southwest is the most prone to a major war!
"Ha! Li Siye, don't you still understand? When you ask this sentence, this is the reason! The more war-prone a place is, the more war-prone it is!"
"The full moon is lacking, and the moon is full. The southwest of the empire has been peaceful for too long, and the people's hearts are slack, and the army is slack! Even you think that there is no possibility of war there, let alone other people! An army that has produced slackness, an unsuspecting army, do you think it can withstand the onslaught of Uszang and Mengshezhao?"
Wang Chong said.
"But there is no reason at all, why would they do this? Mengshezhao and the empire have always been peaceful, and Uszang has never entered the interior of Middle-earth, and there are 100,000 elites who protect the capital of Zhangqiu, and it is impossible for Uszang to succeed!"
Li Siye said.
Hearing Li Siye's words, Wang Chong couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart. Regarding the situation of the empire, Li Siye is not only ignorant, but ignorant of it.
"Li Siye, don't you know yet? Zhang Qiu and Qiong have been transferred to the Beijing Division. The current Annan metropolitan protection is less than Zhongtong. Moreover, Ge Luofeng, the lord of Mengshe's edict, is actively contacting Wusizang, and wants to cooperate with the outside and jointly send troops to the Tang Dynasty! Wusizang doesn't know much about Middle-earth, so what about Mengshe's edict?"
"If Mengshezhao and the Usizang Alliance, do you think that only the 100,000 elites of the Annan Protectorate will be able to resist it?"
Wang Chong sighed and said:
"Li Siye, if Meng Shezhao and the Usi-Tibet Alliance will attack the Annan Protectorate together. and then contain Geshuhan's big fighting army in Longxi...... And once that happens, do you know what that means for the Empire?"
"Buzz!"
Li Siye's mind was shocked, and the whole person was stunned, and a chill suddenly surged from his back to his whole body. Li Siye didn't understand strategy, but he also knew that if what Wang Chong said was true, it would be a huge disaster for the entire southwest and the entire empire.
The deployment of imperial forces is not complicated, and anyone who is interested in joining the military knows that the southwest of the empire does not deploy many troops because there are few wars.
The 100,000 elites of the Annam Protectorate are the only barrier in the southwest.
And if the Protectorate of Annam is attacked, the Great Dou Army of Longxi is the closest and most likely force to rush to help. At the same time, it is the only force.
But if the Geshuhan of Longxi is pinned down, and the Wusizang Empire really sends troops like Wang Chong, it will be a huge disaster for the Annan Protectorate in the southwest, as well as for the entire empire!
"What you said is true, Master Zhang Qiu and Qiong have been transferred to the capital?"
Li Siye said with a shocked face.
"It's not something that's hard to find out. Lord Zhang Qiu has been in charge of the southwest for decades, and this time, he has already made up his mind to become the master of the Beijing Division, and no one can stop him!"
Wang Chong met Li Siye's gaze and said calmly.
"Meng Shezhao is seeking an alliance with Uszang?"
"Hmm. Not many people know about this matter, but at least it is certain that Mengshezhao sent high-ranking envoys to Uszang at least twice. As for the extent of the negotiations, we do not yet know. ”
Wang Chong said.
Li Siye was silent. Although he didn't speak, the deeply furrowed brows showed his inner struggle.
For the first time, Li Siye found that he didn't understand the situation of the empire at all.
"Your royal family knows these things, why don't you tell Your Majesty? If Your Majesty comes forward, this matter can definitely be strangled in the cradle!"
Li Siye finally couldn't help but say, looking excited.
"Li Siye, do you think Your Majesty doesn't know about the things we all know? Military affairs are far more complicated than you think. Not to mention anything else, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass have gone first, and the troops have been increased to the southwest, so how can the matter of grain ringing be solved? A force of 10,000 troops needs to prepare 100,000 people of grain to fight a three-month battle. This requires the coordination of all aspects of the imperial court, and it is not just a matter of the military department, do you think this is a trivial matter?"
"In addition, the imperial court is now facing eight enemies, and our troops are simply insufficient. If we transfer troops, where will we move them from? Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, or Longxi? All these localities are in a state of tight military strength, and it would be good to be able to replenish troops without asking for support, so how can we lend troops? Even if the imperial court wants to transfer troops and horses now, it can't transfer troops and horses, so can it use reserve troops to go to the top immediately?"
"Moreover, even if we pull in more troops, can we combine more forces than the forces of Mengshezhao and Uszang? If they delay in moving their troops and drag us like this, will we stay there all the time? The military attrition of this quasi-war state is very staggering. Moreover, if the imperial court carries out a major adjustment of its forces because of a few words of chasing after the wind and shadows, how will it mobilize the army in the future?"
Wang Chong said.
Li Siye was silent again. Now he is far from having the keen intuition of the "supernatural general" in the future, and many things Wang Chong said are things that he has not thought about at all.
The mobilization of soldiers and horses seems simple, but when it is really implemented, the doorways are beyond Li Siye's imagination.
Li Siye fell into deep contemplation.
"The court is too big, a behemoth, it's hard to turn around, and it's hard to turn around. But individuals are different. I have no selfish intention to collect Hyderabad ore and extraterrestrial meteorite, but I want to do my part to help the imperial court. Li Siye, believe me, at this time, the southwest is far more in need of your help than the northwest. ”
"There are Gao Xianzhi and Fumeng Lingcha in the northwest, and once there is a change, the Moxi Metropolitan Protectorate in the rear and the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate in the north can support it at any time. Even without you, the Northwest would not be at a loss, but the Southwest is different. Without the barrier of the Protectorate of Annam, nearly a million Li people will be affected by the war, and the southwest of the empire will be burned and turned into a sea of fire and ruins!"
Wang Chong looked at Li Siye, his eyes were red. This is not some kind of prophecy, but a fact that really happened in Wang Chong's previous life.
It was really because he knew that kind of huge and tragic consequences, so Wang Chong would try his best to stop it.
"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband. Li Siye, whether you want to be able to fight for fame and fortune, or you want to be able to make contributions and contribute to the empire, I hope you can stay. The next day, come with me into the southwest! Of course, if you have any other special reason, I can't stop you. But I want to be able to seriously consider what I have said!"
"As for the Western Regions...... If I can pacify the southwest, I will enter the Western Regions with you. Because that's where I'm going!"
Li Siye was silent, and for the first time a dilemma was revealed in his eyes. The purpose of his joining the army was the Western Regions, which he had already thought about.
But the problem of the Southwest, if he hadn't heard it before, it would be fine. But now, now that he knows, he cannot remain indifferent.
"It's all your guess. But if Uszang and Mengshezhao hadn't attacked, would I have waited like this?"
Li Siye said.
"Hahaha!"
Wang Cheng laughed suddenly, "It won't take that long, I'm sure." Within a year, there will be war in the Southwest. If there is still no war in the southwest by then, everything will prove my judgment wrong. I am willing to hand over all the Hyderabad ore and extraterrestrial meteorite to the imperial court to resolve your doubts. ”
"What you said is true?"
Li Siye's eyes lit up. 1,000 Jun Hyderabad ore is by no means a small amount, its value has reached hundreds of millions of taels of gold, and with those extraterrestrial meteorites, the value is even higher.
If the Wang family is willing to hand over these things free of charge, then the Wang family is plotting against each other, and the suspicion of seeking the throne can naturally be cleared, and such a large fortune is also of great benefit to the finances of the imperial court.
"Of course it's true!"
Wang Chong laughed.
