Chapter 780: Chess Game (Part II)
"If the Han army goes south and there is trouble elsewhere, where does the Queen Mother think it will be?"
Wu Meiniang and Concubine De didn't look good, and Concubine De tapped her fingers on the stone table.
"Western Regions!"
The Western Regions has always been a place where the Tang Dynasty and the Western Qin Dynasty are constantly fighting, and both countries have infiltrated this place very strongly.
In recent years, the relationship between the two countries has been relatively stable, and there have been few wars in the Western Regions, but if you want to say where trouble is most likely to occur, it must be the Western Regions.
There are many ethnic groups here, there are many countries, and it is the most unstable place.
What's more, further west in the Western Regions, there is the Eastern Xiongnu of the four major vassal states of Western Qin, which is the one that most wants to go east to provoke war under the Western Qin system.
If the Northern Han Dynasty goes south to attack the Tang Dynasty, there is a great possibility of trouble in the Western Regions, and the cavalry of the Eastern Huns will inevitably go out of the Western Regions, attacking the two capital protectorates set up by the Tang Dynasty here, and the troops will come to Yanmen Pass and threaten the Hexi Corridor.
There, Chen Fang knocked again with his hand on the stone table.
"Concubine De, I'm afraid it's not just the Western Regions, but also the Southwest."
"You mean that the Bashu region, Tubo will threaten the Bashu region?"
Others may not know, but Chen Fang, who is a traverser, knows the ambition of Tibet best.
Originally, in the history of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo has been using troops against the Tang Dynasty, when Tubo married Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty, it was Songtsen Gampo who threatened the Bashu line with his troops, and delivered a request and letter of procedence to the Tang Dynasty.
Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, which is not a glorious thing in this era, and the daughter of the Han family married far away, which was originally a humiliating thing.
However, later generations continued to praise it, even to the extent that no one could refute it.
Although Princess Wencheng's entry into Tibet did deepen the friendship between the Central Plains and Tibet, it also laid a fatal threat to the southwestern border of the Tang Dynasty.
Because Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, she didn't just go alone, she brought the advanced productive forces of the Central Plains, farming, smelting, and 100 labors to Tibet, which greatly improved the military and civil strength of Tibet.
And the heart of Tubo's invasion of the Tang Dynasty, historically, has never stopped beating.
"Since Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, Tubo has been living in harmony with us, how can the horse think that Tubo will invade the Bashu region?"
Concubine De asked.
"I've been feeding wild wolves for a while, and wild wolves won't bite me when they're hungry?"
"Pony, what's the worst?"
"Bashu is the southern gateway of the Tang Guanzhong, and you can enter Hanzhong from Bashu, which is already close to Guanzhong. The worst result was that Guanzhong was attacked on three sides, and we had to withdraw to the Central Plains through Tongguan. ”
"Chang'an must not be lost, if Chang'an is lost, there is no natural danger to defend in the hinterland of the Central Plains, I will always stay in Chang'an, and live and die with Chang'an."
"Queen Mother, we're talking about the worst outcome now. Of course, if so, this game is not the worst. ”
"Could there be a worse outcome, colt?"
"Also, internal and external troubles, if it is true that Datang has continuous external troubles, then it is difficult to say whether there will be traitorous thieves in Datang."
"Donkey, you're referring to the eldest sons of the first emperors."
"Chen Fang didn't dare to say anything."
"Recruit them to return to Beijing immediately!"
"Queen Mother, I'm afraid it's too late, the only thing we can do now is to take precautions."
Chen Fang said a word, and Wu Meiniang's hand slapped heavily on the stone table.
With the distance between Chang'an and the fiefdom of the four kings, if His Majesty is asked to issue an edict at this time, it is indeed too late.
The road is far away, the edict has arrived, I am afraid that the border trouble has arisen, if the eldest son of the first emperor has ambition, I am afraid that he will never accept the order to return to Beijing.
Internal and external troubles, threats from different forces, at this time have faintly become the trend of the alliance.
What if you can see clearly, but what if you can't see clearly.
Both sides of the chess game on the chessboard can see clearly, but to a certain extent, no matter how clever the chess player is, he is powerless.
"What now, colt?"
"Be careful, I have already asked people to go to the Dunhuang branch, and if there is any movement there, Meng Fei will tell me as soon as possible."
"You mean it's King Yong who is most likely to cause trouble?"
Chen Fang didn't mean anything, he just took precautions early and was prepared. Queen Mother, from tomorrow, I will go to the artillery camp, and at the same time I want to expand the artillery camp, and now the artillery of the Ordnance Supervisor has been cast more than 500 pieces, which is enough to expand the artillery camp. ”
"Well, you can handle this matter, and I will let Hong'er take full responsibility for the military affairs in Guanzhong."
"Queen Mother, how can this make Chen Fang not know how to fight at all."
"Strategize and win a thousand miles, I don't want you to go to the battlefield, only command the war in the rear. Mei Niang and Hong'er don't have many people to rely on at this time, Chen Fang, do you want to resign? ”
"I also think that the best result is that Guanzhong's military affairs must be taken care of by horses."
"You don't want to catch the ducks on the shelves, okay? Where will I fight. ”
"Who is born to fight?"
Chen Fang was almost speechless, how could he hand over the military affairs of Guanzhong to himself. Guanzhong is the heart of the Tang Dynasty at this time, and Wu Meiniang is willing to live and die with Chang'an, so it is impossible to give up Guanzhong.
Isn't it too hasty for you to hand over the military affairs of Guanzhong to yourself? Besides, he is a colt and has never been in charge of military duties, so can the generals of the twelve guards obey themselves?
However, the fact is that on the second day, the DPRK announced its will, and the horses controlled the 12 guards and were responsible for the military affairs of Guanzhong, but they did not expect that the Chinese military generals of the court were all relieved, and even Pei Judao took the lead that day, and the officers of the 12 guards in Chang'an came to the Tang workshop to congratulate them.
Chen Fang looked at their beaming appearances, and saw their relaxed spirits all of a sudden, and almost believed that he was a god descending from heaven and was born to be a commander.
Your sister, I really haven't fought a war, at most I've played strategy games before, and it's still a shootout.
That's it, the will has been made, and with Wu Meiniang's temperament, this will will never be changed.
If you are a commander, you will be a commander, and if you control the twelve guards, you will control the twelve guards!
The official position of the Twelve Guards is a general, a general, and he is handsome at this time, is he handsome? Chen Fang couldn't understand how he felt that these generals were more confident than himself when he was named commander-in-chief.
Chen Fang still has something to be busy with, the artillery camp is there, Chen Fang saw Qin Huaidao, at this time the artillery camp expanded, the original one battalion was directly expanded to three battalions, and the required personnel were still mainly the Fu soldiers and the Fang army of the Ziwuling Branch, this time no more manpower was dispatched from Fengwei, nor from the forbidden army.
Chen Fang handed over this matter to Qin Huaidao, and went back to the Tang Workshop.
Although he became a marshal, he didn't ask about military affairs, and Wu Meiniang handed over the military affairs of Guanzhong to him to deal with the worst situation, not to let Chen Fang go to various military affairs offices to deal with military affairs.
