Zhao Yu replied like a cannon, in order to verify that the emperor's personal expedition was not his own ingenuity, and many predecessors had already set an example for him. And the conversation just now also reminded him of the reason why he was depressed for a while, although he realized it later. But I also know in my heart that I have lost the opportunity to go to the army, if I go again at this time, I am afraid that it will not only cause Wen Tianxiang's anger, but also cause a crisis in his own governance, you must know who would like a 'bad boy' who changes his order and is suspicious of his subordinates.

But Zhao Yu knew that he couldn't be convinced at the moment, not to mention losing face in front of the concubines, and the Western Expedition was just the beginning of a series of battles to recover the old land, so they couldn't be convinced at the moment. So for the sake of the future, he also has to convince these 'distressed' wives that he is also complacent about his wise decision just now.

"What Your Majesty just said is right, I think Your Majesty also knows the results of their personal expedition!" Wu Xi was not frightened by the emperor, and asked after a little thought.

"This ...... Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty Liu Yu, Emperor Taizu and many princes of our dynasty have achieved brilliant results and created a foundation! Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, and thought for a moment before sneering.

Zhao Yu actually lacks confidence in what he says, as long as he has the heart to sort out the emperor's personal expedition in history, he will find a surprising fact: no matter what kind of personal expedition, a considerable proportion of emperors are either killed, angry, or captured alive, or discredited in defeat, or detonate contradictory countries and collapse.

However, he also noticed Wu Xi's title, don't look at the official family and His Majesty are both titles for the emperor, but the official family is generally a private title, suitable for the harem or people who are closer to him, of course, it is not excluded that there is no quality and no culture like Li Kui; His Majesty, on the other hand, is mostly used on formal occasions, such as between monarchs and ministers, and at court meetings, and is an outsider. Wu Xi changed his name, indicating that he was discussing business with him, rather than discussing things in private.

"Your Majesty, don't confuse right and wrong with partial generalizations." Wu Xi also said with a straight face at this time, "Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty, Liu Yu and the Taizu of our dynasty are both from the military, and it is common for them to fight and kill, and they are familiar with the strategy of governing the country, so they can naturally be invincible in their own conquests. ”

"The queen is only afraid that it is also a strong word, the emperor is personally conscripted, and who doesn't want to win, and the battlefield is changing rapidly, the emperor is not a god, a slight defeat or setback is inevitable, how can it be generalized!" Zhao Yu said. And in my heart, I also secretly scolded those emperors who failed in the pro-conquest, don't do porcelain work without diamonds, isn't this a negative teaching material for yourself? It is also known that what Wu Xi said is true, professional people do professional things, and the success rate is naturally higher than that of laymen guiding insiders, but not all emperors in the world are experts in war.

"Hmph, it is Your Majesty who looks at the strong words of the concubines, knowing that the emperor should be good at governing the government, not leading the army to fight, so the experience of Emperor Yang of Sui, Your Majesty must also know!" At this time, Chen Shu interjected.

"Emperor Yang of Sui is a faint monarch, and his actions provoked the anger of the heavens and the resentment of the people to lead to the failure of the pro-conquest, am I also a faint monarch?" After everyone listened to Chen Shu's words, their first feeling was that the concubine really dared to say that she dared to compare His Majesty with Emperor Yang of Sui, which was simply pointing her nose and scolding. And Zhao Yu naturally had black lines on his face when he heard it, but he couldn't stand what people said, and he said angrily, but he felt that he was not confident enough.

In fact, Zhao Yu has no choice, Emperor Yang of Sui, the predecessor of the history of the mixed reputation, his pioneering imperial examination, opening the canal, unifying the north and south, abolishing torture, etc. are also considered promising kings, and they are not 'Xiaobai' in military affairs, they have participated in the war with the Turks and Khitan before they ascended the throne, and they have all gained. In the fifth year of the Great Cause, he personally conquered and pacified Tuyuhun, set up four counties of Xihai, Heyuan, Shanshan, and Momo, and also established a great military might.

However, Emperor Yang of Sui was indeed wrong in the matter of conquering Goryeo, and he was outrageously wrong, and he had not yet put himself in the right position. Zhao Yu went all the way, and naturally knew that the emperor had reached the front line, and in fact, his identity was automatically demoted from the leader of a country to the commander of an army, and the most urgently needed quality was the actual experience of commanding operations, rather than the imperial political skills of Zichen. It's just that some emperors can't pass through this level, and they give up their long and use their short, and they expose their butts when they arrive at the battlefield.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty thought that "the people of Goryeo cannot be my county", and the conquest of Goryeo would be a battle without a battle, so he took the lead in politics and ordered the armies not to act without authorization, but to take care of the front and back, coordinate left and right, and put the spectrum of the Chinese Empire to the fullest. He also ordered the conquest of Goryeo and the cessation of the attack if the Goryeo people were willing to surrender. The generals of the armies knew that this style of play was wrong, and no one dared to raise dissenting opinions. So the march honestly followed the steps and took more than 40 days just for the departure of the army, and the initiative was completely lost.

When it came time to attack the city, once the Goryeo could not hold on, they sent an envoy to surrender. The general of the Sui army did not dare to be self-conscious, and as soon as he saw that the enemy asked for surrender, he flew to report to Emperor Yang to make a decision. As the envoys came and went, the Goryeo people made defensive preparations again, and so on, and the Sui army wasted troops in vain. Although the behavior of the Koreans is similar to that of hooligans, whoever reasoned with you on the battlefield, since you were stupid first, you can't blame others for playing hooligans. Emperor Yang also committed a taboo in the army, and assigned a comforting envoy to each army, which was in charge of recruiting the Goryeo people and was not controlled by the generals of the road, resulting in a situation where one army and two masters and many orders were issued.

The Goryeo sent their prime minister, Ulji Moondeok, to inquire about the truth in the name of negotiating surrender, and this person was the number one important minister of Goryeo, and the general wanted to detain him, but unexpectedly, he was afraid that he would be charged with obstructing the surrender, and let Ulji Moondeok go, in vain a good opportunity to weaken the enemy's strength. As a result, under the toss of Emperor Yang, the generals of the Sui army were collectively dumbfounded, and were dragged down by the Goryeo in mutual restraint, wait-and-see and air labor, and the Sui army of more than one million people was defeated.

In all fairness, it is not wrong to enlist people from afar to convince the nations and put them at the level of national political decision-making. What is wrong is that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did not recognize the fact that he had changed from an emperor to a front-line commander, and regarded political decision-making on the spot as a combat strategy to guide the army, which is equivalent to eating noodles with a spoon and drinking soup with chopsticks.

"Your Majesty is familiar with the history books, and you should know the battle of the Eastern Han Dynasty to conquer the Gongsun Shu of Shu and the battle of the former Zhao Emperor Liu Yao to counterattack the Later Zhao!" At this time, Concubine De Zhangping asked with a smile again.

"Of course I do!" Zhao Yu feels that Zhang Ping's girl is more and more like her legendary grandfather, and there is a tendency to inherit her nickname of 'Full House', she is very good at handling interpersonal relationships, no matter how tense the atmosphere is, as long as she is often in a few words, it can be resolved. And now the scene is a little embarrassing, he is obviously at a disadvantage under the aggressive questioning of several people, he takes it for granted that he must be speaking for himself at this moment, so he nodded very gently.

"Then Your Majesty must also know that Liu Yao was captured in person, resulting in the loss of the country. And Emperor Wu Liu Xiu sent the generals to the battle, although he lost the generals again and again, he won the victory! Zhang Ping also replied very gently.

"Thou ...... Thou, I really hurt you in vain! Zhao Yu listened, and his smile instantly froze. After a while, he covered his chest and pointed his fingers at it, and said with a sad and angry face.

"Isn't Your Majesty often said that you don't help your relatives! The concubine thought that what the queen and the concubine said was reasonable, but she had no intention of slandering Your Majesty, presumably Your Majesty would not hurt me because the concubine said a few words of truth, right? Seeing this, Zhang Ping immediately got up and saluted, and said honestly and fearfully.

"Okay, you're good, I'll hurt you well in the future!" Zhao Yu looked at Zhang Ping, who looked frightened, but had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said two more angry words, but when he saw his lower abdomen, which was already slightly raised, he could only grit his steel teeth and squeeze out a smile.

Although Zhang Ping said vaguely just now, how could Zhao Hao not hear that he was 'admonishing' himself in disguise. In order to crush the offensive of Later Zhao, Liu Yao, the former Zhao Emperor, led his army to conquer Luoyang. This Hu brother is a good drinker, and when he was a teenager, he smelled it with Noh drama, and he grew old. As a result, he went out of battle drunk and was seriously injured and captured. In the early days of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, the political power and army organization were very simple, and their operation was all maintained by the emperor or the commander himself.

In the battle of Gongsun Shu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, two commanders of the Han army were assassinated by Gongsun Shu's assassins, and Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu immediately ordered Wu Han to take over the army, and the Han army's offensive continued unabated. As soon as the two emperors died, the great cause of the Northern Expedition had to give way to the top-level event of the succession and handover of imperial power, no matter how rare the opportunity was and how well prepared, it could only be a pity.

Zhang Ping cited these two examples, which is nothing more than to say that the commander of an army is captured or killed in battle, and the worst result is the annihilation of the army. But if the commander-in-chief is the emperor, the impact is immediately magnified by geometric multiples, forming a series of adverse reactions. However, if the commander is only a general, after his accidental death, the imperial court can immediately change the general, but it is not a problem for the army to continue to fight.

The other is to warn yourself that everyone in the army is respecting yourself, and others cannot dispatch and control the army. If there is an unexpected situation such as eating too much and having diarrhea, encountering wind and waves, the ship capsizing, the horse loses its front hooves and falls, or the thunderbolt falling from the sky is split, then the army will fall into a state of leaderlessness, and it will not only lose his body, but also lose his country like Liu Yao, so he must not be personally recruited.

"Does Concubine Chen also have something to say?" Seeing that the three pregnant people have very opinions about their own relatives, Zhao Hao also feels that it is understandable, after all, fighting a war is still a very dangerous thing, and no one wants their children to be born without a father. Therefore, he turned his gaze to the other two, and saw that Concubine Chen Wang Yu lowered her head, but peeked at herself from time to time, and the silk handkerchief was already rubbed in her hand. He was happy in his heart, he must have been afraid of angering the queen and others, so he didn't dare to say anything about wearing small shoes, so he encouraged him loudly.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, when the concubine was at home, he also listened to his father talk about history, and remembered that Emperor Gao Huan of the Northern Qi Dynasty led a large army to attack the Western Wei Dynasty in Shayuan, and before the war, someone advised him to divide the troops to advance, so that the army maintained a certain degree of flexibility, and he thought that the enemy was outnumbered and we did not need to divide the troops. After discovering that the Western Wei army was ambushed in the reeds, some people persuaded them to set fire to the grass, and the Western Wei people would definitely die. As a result......" Wang Yu was named, stood up and saluted, and said timidly.

"No more talk, I know the result!" Zhao Yu wanted to use Wang Yu's mouth to save some face, but he also 'betrayed' himself and interrupted with a black face. And the result of Gao Huan's personal expedition was naturally under the rigid attack of the Eastern Wei army, and the generals could only watch the Western Wei people gain the initiative on the battlefield with flexible surprise attack tactics, and finally Gao Huan's personal expedition fell into a big defeat.

"Loyal words are contrary to ears, although Your Majesty does not like what the concubines say, but you still have to say it." At this time, Wang Yu raised her head and plucked up the courage to say, "The emperor is the center of the country, no matter where he is, he can affect the people around him. Moreover, the emperor's personal conquest is not as good as the general's, and the political situation of the country and the prestige of the emperor are directly related to the success or failure of the war. And His Majesty also often said that war has always been informal, advocating strangeness, if the emperor and generals have the mentality of seeking stability, it is equivalent to tying their hands and feet, not to mention that they can't fight a beautiful battle, sometimes they often lose themselves and frequently make stupid moves. ”

"Concubine Chen actually has such knowledge, very good, very good!" Zhao Yu was a little angry, but seeing that he looked like a harmless little white rabbit to humans and animals, he still endured it. However, I had to admit that what he said was not unreasonable, so I could only laugh. But in a blink of an eye, he saw him secretly gesturing his hand at others with a 'V', and immediately realized that he had been tricked again, and suddenly felt that the blood was gushing upward, and his eyes were dark.

"Hmph, Gao Huan's defeat is not bad, after all, people are not dead, and there is still a chance to do it again. But the Jurchen Hailing King Wanyan Liang was not careful, and he lost his life in the pro-campaign. Without waiting for Zhao Yu to breathe a sigh of relief, Li Sanniang snorted coldly and said again.

"Yes, that's right, but I regret it!" Zhao Hao was already crying without tears at this time, and even the most trusted Li Sanniang was angry with herself, and she was even more 'vicious'.

In October of the sixth year of Jin Zhenglong, the Jin Emperor sent 32 commanders to attack the Song Dynasty in the south, and the army was claimed to be 600,000, which was more powerful than when the Jin army destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty. In the early days of the war, the Jin army won one victory after another, and the troops reached the north bank of the Yangtze River.

However, Wan Yan Liang's perverse behavior has already accumulated the root cause, and he has a bad reputation for killing his brother and seizing the throne, Wan Yan Wulu, that is, the later Jin Shizong, took advantage of the soldiers to proclaim himself emperor. There was a change in the political situation in the rear, and the troops should have been quickly withdrawn to cause chaos, but Wan Yan Liang was obsessed and insisted on crossing the river to attack the Song Dynasty, and as a result, the Jin army was defeated in the first battle of quarrying, and the hearts of the people in the army were floating, so there was a mutiny in Guazhoudu, and Wan Yan Liang died tragically, and as a result, he didn't even get a nickname, and was buried in the wilderness......
