Chapter Eighty-Five: Triumphant
Huang Yunshi thought it was good, but General Ma Li disagreed, and said, "But, if that's the case, wouldn't we be able to get the Goryeo Kingdom to be flattened and rounded?" That's not going to work! ”
Wang Sheng said: "Naturally, it won't work, we will have to wait here for the opportunity, we will tell the prince of Goryeo at that time, our army is here to wait to meet them, if he fights back to the country with insufficient troops, we can draw them here, and then, when they are finished, no matter which side wins, when the other party is the weakest, we will take the opportunity to attack Goryeo!" ”
Huang Yunshi felt that this trick was quite ruthless, after all, Ma Li was used to using yang conspiracy, and he was a little uncomfortable with this kind of conspiracy, and said, "This? Is it appropriate? ”
Wang Sheng immediately asked: "General Ma, the Goryeo Kingdom didn't even give a war book, and directly attacked our South China Kingdom, so that we lost a city by surprise, did they think of such a suitability?" Moreover, at this time, if we put forward such a condition, the crown prince of Goryeo will definitely agree, because in this case, it is obviously better for him to be the emperor than to stay here to fight, and to stay here and continue to fight, he is not the emperor yet, and there is no benefit at all, and if he goes back, he may be the emperor, and then, he can let others fight for him, even if he fights by himself, it is for himself. Therefore, the crown prince of Goryeo will definitely choose to return to China. ”
Ma Li thought about it, felt that this was really the case, and the discomfort in his heart disappeared, and he agreed with this battle plan.
Wang Sheng guessed correctly, the crown prince of Goryeo really wanted to return to China, but he was a little hesitant, and now that their peace envoy came, it obviously became the last straw that crushed the heart of the prince of Goryeo.
However, the crown prince of Goryeo was not stupid, and asked them to withdraw all the 80,000 troops and leave only 20,000, which was different from what was previously expected. Ma Li felt embarrassed, but Wang Sheng didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said to Huang Yunshi: "It's okay for the third prince to agree!" ”
"However, if this is the case, when the time comes, we will attack, and there are too few soldiers, where can we beat the other side, no, no, no, let's talk about it. What if the other party makes a trick? No, no, this can't work, I can't agree to it! Ma Lidao.
The third prince also felt that this would not work, if he was so good at talking. Doesn't it seem that you are weak and cowardly, not to mention. It's the other party who should be anxious now. Therefore, Huang Yunshi said: "Now it should be that the other party should be anxious, not us, Wang Junshi, I think it's better for us to drag it like this, the other party will be more anxious than us!" ”
Wang Sheng smiled: "The third prince doesn't have to worry. General Ma is a little restless, I have a point in saying this. Regarding this condition mentioned by the crown prince of Goryeo, in fact, Xiaguan thinks that there are two solutions. The first one is that we really let the big army go all the way to the place where the prince of Goryeo thinks it is okay, and then he sets off again, and then, when the prince of Goryeo returns, we will come back, and the prince of Goryeo obviously can't come back from the country so quickly, but in this way, for the soldiers, it is a little tired, and it will waste a lot of energy, I don't agree. ”
"What about the second option? What is it? Huang Yunshi hurriedly asked, admiring Wang Sheng tightly in her heart, this idea can be thought of, it's too powerful!
Wang Sheng said: "The second way, that is, we pretend to leave, it is different from the previous one, it is really going, the second is that we go to a place where the prince of Goryeo cannot see, it will not be very far, and then it will be broken into pieces, and then return to the city, but not into the barracks, and live in the people's homes for the time being, in this way, it is as if there are only 20,000 troops in the city, in fact, all our troops are still there, ready to fight at any time, and in this way, we can also let the soldiers recuperate, and the soldiers who stayed in the barracks all night." , but you can take a break while fighting! ”
Ma Li couldn't help but pat his thigh: "Okay, this is a good idea, but how to break it into parts?" ”
"This, it's even simpler, just disguise everyone as ordinary people, enter the city in twos and threes, as long as a large number of troops enter the city, then, the prince of Goryeo will not be able to detect it!" Wang Sheng said with a smile.
Huang Yunshi was in a good mood, the day of victory in the war this time was just around the corner, Huang Yunshi said to Wang Sheng: "Wang Junshi is a great talent!" If you say that, then we will immediately agree to each other's terms! Come! ”
"Three princes, slow down! This time, we really can't agree, to speak, the idea of the subordinates just now is not mature enough, the subordinates think, it is better to refuse, if we agree too quickly, doesn't it seem that we have a conspiracy! We just have to wait for the next time, when the crown prince of Goryeo gives in and agrees. Wang Sheng replied.
The three princes did so, and the envoy came back that night and said that the crown prince of Goryeo had given in, and the number of troops had changed from 20,000 to 30,000, but they had to withdraw their troops first.
Wang Sheng asked the three princes not to agree, and let the other party withdraw their troops if they wanted to withdraw their troops, or they would withdraw their troops at the same time, but in order to show the sincerity of the Goryeo Kingdom, the local government should first return to the scope of their Goryeo Kingdom, and let them take back the lost cities first.
As soon as the third prince heard this, it made sense, so he did it again, and the crown prince of Goryeo saw how much time he had delayed back and forth, so he was worried that he would go back late, and his younger brother's position was stable.
As a last resort, the crown prince of Goryeo agreed to this condition, and after the two sides submitted the covenant, the crown prince of Goryeo slowly retreated to the country, and they took over the lost city.
When the crown prince of Goryeo retreated to the country, sure enough, Huang Yunshi asked Ma Li to go back with the troops, and the prince of Goryeo kept an eye on it, and when he heard that he really went back, he was really relieved, and hurried to the national capital.
And just when the crown prince of Goryeo was completely relieved, what I don't know was that the troops who had left were suddenly disbanded, and then, just a few days later, the empty city was full of people again.
At this time, winter was almost over, and Wang Sheng asked the three princes to send a few spies over to find out how they were doing.
The third prince knew the benefits of the spies, so how could he disagree.
When it came to the beginning of spring, the country of Goryeo was still in chaos, and the second prince of Goryeo seized the opportunity, but the crown prince of Goryeo held most of the troops of Goryeo, and for a while, the two princes were fighting happily.
Wang Sheng knew the situation of Lu Dao, and understood that unless the prince of Goryeo used some despicable methods, otherwise, he would continue to stalemate like this, and he didn't know when Lu Dao would be able to end, so Wang Sheng suggested to Huang Yunshi that the soldiers should not let them be idle, so they should all go to farming, as for the 30,000 horses who stayed in the barracks, they would also draw out another 10,000 people to farm, otherwise, they would not be self-sufficient, and if they only relied on domestic grain and grass, the pressure would be great, not to mention whether it was still a problem, it was better to be self-reliant and have enough food and clothing, Anyway, the soldiers have nothing to do now, and the soil here is so fertile.
Therefore, while Goryeo was in chaos, the two cities that were taken away were a vibrant scene.
The civil strife in Goryeo did not end until the winter, but the war did not start until the spring of the following year, because the spring was in the beginning of the year, the weather was warm, and it was good to fight, and in the winter, everyone was cold to death, and South China had sacrificed many people for this war, and they did not want to have any more casualties.
Moreover, it is not enough for the crown prince to ascend the throne in Goryeo, but it also depends on the pacification of the turmoil in the country, many things, if there is an external trouble at this time, it will make them speed up the pacification, it is better to let the Goryeo country consume it again.
Wang Sheng's prediction was not wrong, when the war started in the spring, on the surface, the Goryeo Kingdom went through a winter break, but in fact, the combat power of the Goryeo Kingdom reached the lowest point, and it was basically consumed by civil strife, and the South China Kingdom started a war against them at this time, and it effortlessly captured a city, and then, the South China Kingdom continued to advance, and captured three cities in a row, so it stopped, because at this time the Goryeo Kingdom reacted.
South China doesn't want to move on, just kidding, go further, it's getting north and north, how cold the weather is, it can't make people live at all, and the people of South China can't stand it.
Therefore, the army of South China retreated in the city to fight them, but after two battles, South China felt that this would not work, and Wang Sheng felt that he would simply fight until they were afraid, otherwise he would think that South China was afraid of them.
Huang Yunshi also felt that this is the truth, General Ma Li led the team, fought in high spirits, swept away the depression of some time ago, for Huang Yunshi mentioned about the climate problems caused by the location of the land of Goryeo, Wang Sheng said: "We can do without the city, just loot their treasures, so that we don't have to send troops to station, and we won't reduce our troops." ”
And continue to move forward in South China, Goryeo naturally couldn't stand it, and sent envoys to ask for reconciliation, of course, at this time, Goryeo naturally didn't dare to scold South China, talking doesn't count, but I scolded before, and found that it was useless, what should people do or what should they do, so they woke up to the fact that South China's face seems to be a lot thicker.
And Huang Yunshi doesn't plan to continue fighting, in fact, as long as the Goryeo Kingdom stays well in their country, the South China Kingdom doesn't want to deal with the Goryeo Kingdom.
And this time the covenant was re-signed, Wang Sheng suggested that the Goryeo State should no longer give grain every year, on the contrary, the Goryeo State should become their vassal state unconditionally, not only that, but also pay tribute to South China every year for their specialties and precious things, otherwise, they will also fight.
Huang Yunshi said by Wang Sheng nodded again and again, these ungrateful things are typical white-eyed wolves, no matter how good they are, they will be useless, since you want to be white-eyed wolves, we are not afraid of you, let's spit out the ones we sent before. (To be continued......)
