Li Zhong really didn't plan to attack the state, and in his eyes, it didn't matter if the state fought or not.

The war situation has developed to the present, and its direction is basically according to Li Zhong's assumptions and plans.

Li Zhong sat in Longyou this time, with a clear plan, planning for the top, attacking for the bottom, and dividing the Longyou battlefield into three moves.

The first step was to garrison Huizhou, giving Gewa enough space and time to stimulate his ambitions, prompting him to finally make up his mind to divide the army into two, with Gewajiji as the main general to defend the state, and Gewa himself led the main force of 200,000 troops to fight into the western part of Longyou.

In order to promote the success of the first step, Li Zhong did not hesitate to give up the safety of the seven states in the west of Longyou, the reason is very simple, although Gewa is a traitor, but also can be regarded as a hero, there is a certain prestige, if he is in the state, the whole of Tibet can form a fist, form a strong collective, with Gewa as the spiritual leader, united, in that way, even if he can be defeated in the end, the price he pays must not be small, Li Zhong leads the army to fight with two characteristics, or it is to win by surprise, a lonely throw, with a small broad, Otherwise, it is necessary to concentrate absolutely superior forces, bully the small with the big, and achieve a quick victory.

Fighting against offense and fighting attrition is not Li Zhong's style.

After the success of the first step, Li Zhong then launched the second step, which was internal disintegration.

Although Gewa grasped the military and political power of Tibet, but this kind of acquisition, relying on violence and speculation, no morality, no righteousness, there are no fewer people who disobey him, when he is there, with absolute power to deter, no one dares to move, once he leaves, the shadow on his head dissipates, and suddenly people's hearts float.

Therefore, everything is relative, Li Zhong gave Gewa time and space at the cost of the safety of the seven states in the west of Longyou, and after Gewa led the army to leave, it also gave Li Zhong enough time and space, Li Zhong used this as a node to successfully persuade Tubo Zampuni Songhun Shi and Gewa Xingzhi to form an alliance and cooperate with himself to deal with Gewa together.

Li Zhong once told Huang and Wang Huailie that simple killing can solve the current problem, but what about the future? Killing too much will only lead to one result, that is, to make the Tibetans hate the Jin Dynasty even more, as short as three or five years, as long as ten years, when another group of young people in the Tibetans grow up, the seeds of hatred will be stimulated again, and at that time, the Tibetans will definitely seek revenge and ambition.

Li Zhong used to sit in Anbei for a long time, and when he encountered a war, he would only simply consider military issues, which is why in the first battle of Longyou, Li Zhong thought about how to solve Tubo at the lowest cost and the fastest speed, end the war, and finally achieve a complete victory, killing more than 100,000 enemies.

After the end of the first Longyou War, Li Zhong entered the dynasty as the left minister, and the things he faced were not a single Anbei, but the whole world, as the left minister for three years, Li Zhong's vision was greatly broadened, and he also had a deeper understanding of the Jin Dynasty.

From the middle of the Jin Dynasty Emperor Zhao Zhi, after the rebellion of the White Turban Army, the Battle of Jiangnan, the Battle of Longyou, more than ten years, the Jin Dynasty army is invincible, invincible, it seems that under the leadership of Zhao Zhi, Liu Wei, Yang Daosi and others, the Jin Dynasty has moved towards glory and Zhongxing, the four seas are convinced, do not dare to follow.

Li Zhong also thought so at first, so before leaving Anbei, he wrote to Emperor Zhao Zhi several times, asking the imperial court to increase the number of troops in Anbei by 100,000 troops and 50,000 war horses, so that the number of troops in Anbei reached 300,000, as long as there were 300,000 troops, Li Zhong was sure that in five to ten years, through a series of wars, even if the Hu people could not be destroyed, they could be disabled, but for Li Zhong's letter, Zhao Zhi said a word from beginning to end, and the time was not right.

Several times to the letter, several times to refuse, and then, Zhao Zhi began to reduce Anbei's military supplies and supplies.

Li Zhong was very puzzled, but also very dissatisfied, he thought that he was the master of his own merits, caused Zhao Zhi's suspicion, out of loyalty, Li Zhong was obedient, but the depression and indignation in his heart can be imagined, until the end of the first Longyou War, Zhao Zhi transferred Li Zhong back to Beijing as the left minister, several years of government, Li Zhong finally saw the Jin Dynasty clearly.

The Jin Dynasty was brilliant on the surface, but in fact it had begun to decline, and this momentum was very violent.

With the two political strongmen of Liu Ji and Yang Daosi, completely becoming history, the situation has become more and more uncontrolled and chaotic, Zhao Zhi is difficult to support alone, without the support and help of powerful ministers, many things have been beyond the scope of Zhao Zhi's ability.

The worst thing is that the finances of the Jin Dynasty have reached the verge of collapse, and they can't support another large-scale war, taking advantage of the aftermath of the first victory in the Battle of Longyou, Zhao Zhi mobilized heavy troops into Hedong Road, which seems to be preparing to do something to the towns of Hebei, but the actual situation, I'm afraid it's only intimidation, and then, the five major feudal towns in Hebei are soft, provide a lot of property, and ensure that fifty percent of the local taxes in the future will be handed over to the imperial court on time, sure enough, Zhao Zhi's attitude began to soften, although the army stationed in Hedong Road was not transferred, However, the attitude towards the five major feudal towns in Hebei is becoming more and more moderate.

Until this time, many people understood Zhao Zhi's true intentions, and the five major feudal towns in Hebei also understood, but they still didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction, the reason is very simple, with Zhao Zhi's current strength, if you throw it alone, it is really not too difficult to destroy your five major feudal towns in Hebei, to put it bluntly, Zhao Zhi has no money in his hands, and he wants to get property from the hands of Hebei feudal towns, but he is the emperor, and it is too much to lose face, so let's be tactful, my fist is bigger than you, I don't want to be beaten, express it.

The financial difficulties have constrained all military operations, and the turbulence of the government has tied up the energy of all people at the highest level to a small space.

Li Zhong also wanted to do his best to stabilize the situation and help the Jin Dynasty get out of the predicament, but after three years of being the left minister, he found that the development of things was getting worse and worse, and he saw it in his eyes and tried his best, but he achieved nothing and couldn't do anything.

With the unification of the Hu people in the north and south, Li Zhong tried to persuade Zhao Zhi to pay attention to the outside of the pass, concentrate the only material and financial resources of the Jin Dynasty, and make every effort to consolidate Anbei and Longyou North Province to prevent the Hu people from going south, but Zhao Zhi obviously had his own plans, vetoed Li Zhong's proposal, and made it clear that he would increase the development and support of the western part of Longyou in the future.

Of course, these things can be discussed, but at this time, Tubo came, it can be said that the whole country came to attack, the military strength of the Jin Dynasty in Longyou Road, precarious, on the verge of collapse, Li Zhong went out of the mountain again, was entrusted with important tasks, and the governor was in charge of all military and political affairs outside the Guan.

Through the above description, Li Zhong has been the left minister for three years, and his thinking has changed, which is why in the second battle of Longyou, Li Zhong changed his previous combat style, changed the simplicity to complexity, and would rather give up the seven western states of Longyou, but also complete his strategic goals.

Military victory is only secondary, the important thing is to completely get rid of the great threat of Tibet, and there is only one way to accomplish this, and that is to plunge Tibet itself into civil strife. 2k reading web
