Chapter 492: Luring the Enemy Deeper
In the end, Lai Zonghan's emotions were already a little excited, and his voice was louder: "I gave the king three strategies, he didn't choose any of them, but he chose a lower strategy, I did my own thing, I didn't listen to good advice, from beginning to end, I was led by the nose by the Liao Dynasty, hesitating, so many opportunities were wasted, so many choices, he had to choose a dead end, I hate." ”
Anka Porgan was stunned by what Lai Zonghan said, and said in surprise: "It's the first time I've heard of what you said, why haven't I heard you say it before, and I haven't heard the king say it?" ”
Lai Zonghan took a few deep breaths, then calmed down, looked at Anka Porgan, and said coldly: "You have been with him for so long, and you still don't know his character?" ”
Ankar was silent, Gewa looked, humble, respectful, extremely courteous to talented people, but that was the surface, before obtaining absolute rights, he did not dare to be presumptuous, in fact, Gewa's character is very strong, self-serving, arbitrary, and the things and ideas that he decides are extremely difficult for outsiders to reverse.
After being silent for a while, Anka Pogan sighed and said: "We have an absolute advantage in Longyou, whether there is help from the Liao Dynasty or not, in fact, it doesn't matter much, I really can't figure it out, the king has always been decisive in doing things, and he also attaches great importance to your suggestions, sir, why did you become so hesitant and look forward to the future this time?" ”
Lai Zonghan said coldly: "That's because he was afraid. ”
Afraid?
Ankar was stunned and puzzled: "With the current power and status of the king, what can make him feel afraid?" ”
Lai Zonghan laughed: "Power and status are only relative, not absolute, and it is impossible to last forever, what did the king's current status and power rely on?" It is by killing and coercion, the people who sincerely obey him, only a few, people with different intentions are the majority, the reason why he has stayed in the state and refused to make further actions, but also repeatedly sent the Liao Dynasty, hoping to get the help of the Hu people, that is because he did not dare to go too far, he was afraid that if he went far, the military power was separated, and he could never come back, and now the reason why he decisively sent troops to the west of Longyou, that is because the Liao Dynasty promised to send troops to help, but that is all false, pinning hope on others, can only be an illusion. ”
Ankapor pursed his lips, and was a little shocked by Lai Zonghan's words, in fact, this is the case? He couldn't help but think that the 200,000 troops that accompanied Gewa to conquer the western part of Longyou this time were composed of the major forces in Tibet, and the more than 100,000 guards who stayed in Zhouzhou, Liangzhou, Shanzhou and other places were Gewa's real cronies.
Everyone is blinded by the brilliant victory of reason and thought, only think of the good side, looking forward to a more brilliant future, until listening to Lai Zonghan's words, Anka Porgan finally had some enlightenment, recalling the course of the war, and what happened recently, Anka Porgan's thoughts finally entered another level, after Ge Wa won Liangzhou and the state with a strange plan, behind the brilliant victory, there was indeed a hidden confusion, nearly ten days, Ge Wa for the next move, did not make any planning, Hundreds of thousands of Tibetan troops, has always been stranded in the territory of Longyou North Road, although in the Langzhou line, and Li Xun tens of thousands of Jin Dynasty troops broke out several wars, Tubo are defeated, but that can not shake and change the overall situation of Longyou North Road, just a small wave in the sea, in fact, Gewa is not completely nothing, he still did two things, one is to send an envoy to the Liao Dynasty for the second time, to negotiate the alliance, and the other is to send another group of envoys to Fengjing, asking the Jin Dynasty to cede the land of seven states in the west of Longyou.
The result?
The Liao Dynasty once again rejected the alliance with Tubo, and the envoys sent to Fengjing, although no news was sent back, but from the time Li Zhong led the army to Huizhou quickly, it was already conceivable what the attitude of the Jin Dynasty was.
Lai Zonghan once said to Anka Porgan that the Liao Dynasty's refusal to form an alliance with Tubo was due to the consideration of the entire national interests and the current environment, unless Tubo could enter the pass and disturb the entire Jin Dynasty, otherwise, even if Tubo defeated Anbei and continued to give up Anbei, the Liao Dynasty at most accepted the Anbei region, that's all, they would never send troops to the south, so it was impossible for Gewa to form an alliance with the Liao Dynasty and let the Liao Dynasty send troops, although the Liao Dynasty later sent envoys, expressed full support for the Tibetan expedition to the western part of Longyou, but the strength of the support is extremely limited, and it is just to send troops to the border of Anbei, and to hold Anbei hostage and unable to send troops to Liangzhou, that's all, to put it mildly, the army of the Liao Dynasty will still not set foot in the territory of Longyou, the reason why they changed their attitude and gave Tubo a certain amount of support, what is the reason? However, I have already understood the attitude of the Jin Dynasty, that is, I will never compromise, in this case, why not add fire, sit and watch the battle between Tubo and the Jin Dynasty, and the Liao Dynasty will reap the benefits of the fisherman?
As for the Jin Dynasty will send troops to Longyou very simply, the reason is simpler, Anbei is still there, and the Liao Dynasty cannot go south, so the battle situation in Longyou is just a matter between Tubo and the Jin Dynasty, a defeat that is not too big, just want me to cede the seven states in the west of Longyou, maybe?
Now carefully recalling Lai Zonghan said that Gewa is hesitant, hesitating, and does not dare to easily delegate power, it does make sense, there are at least 50,000 Jin Dynasty troops in the west of Longyou, and there are no more than three times the number of troops, I am afraid it will be difficult to take it, this is equivalent to attacking Longyou, half of the total strength of Tubo, who is the right person to be the master? I'm afraid who to send, Gewa is not at ease, Anka Porgan knows very well, Gewa except himself, no one believes, the fact is as Lai Zonghan said, after the arrival of 50,000 follow-up elite guards, Gewa left all his descendants in the state and Shanzhou, handed over to his younger brother Gewa Jiji to command, and then unified more than 200,000 Filipino descendant troops, led by Gewa himself, began to conquer the western part of Longyou.
Thinking about a lot of things, Anka Porgan looked at Lai Zonghan and found that he was thinking about things with his head down.
"There are only 50,000 Jin Dynasty troops in the western part of Longyou, and the king has 200,000 troops, and our troops are four times that of the other party, so it is still very possible to take the western part of Longyou."
Lai Zonghan raised his head, looked at Anka Porgan, and said silently: "The victory of a war, most of them lie in time and space, these two factors were in our hands before, but they were not cherished, now the 20,000 Jin army in Shanzhou has successfully broken through, the entire western part of Longyou, the Jin army has reached 50,000, if they defend Xiaogu County, we still have a chance, but what is the result?" The Jin army took the initiative to retreat, I dare to conclude that the Jin army will definitely retreat to the end, and throw Suzhou, Ganzhou, Guazhou, Minzhou, Shazhou, and Xiazhou all to Gewa, so that space and time are in the hands of the other party, Gewa has 200,000 troops in his hands, and has lost nearly 30,000 in Xiaogu County, occupying the land of six states in the west of Longyou except Wuzhou, and naturally has to send troops to garrison, so that his strength to attack Wuzhou is only 150,000 at most, and the Jin army still has 40,000, and he wants to take Wuzhou in a short time. It's simply impossible. Fupin Chinese
