Chapter 377: Going Deep into the Enemy's Territory and Attacking Danger
Fu Rong's eyes flashed coldly, and he said: "Yes, when Lu Gong was alive, he once told me and the Heavenly King that the Han people in the world all take the Eastern Jin Dynasty as the right trace, if there is no chaos within the Eastern Jin Dynasty, our army is nameless, and it is impossible to destroy them in one fell swoop." ”
Liang Cheng hooked the corners of his mouth: "I'm afraid that it may not be, the Jin Kingdom has been destroyed for nearly a hundred years, and the hearts of the people in the world, at least the hearts of the people in the north, are not towards the Jin Dynasty, which has been going south and fewer and fewer people over the years, which can also be proven, although Lu Gong's talent is world-renowned, and he is also my teacher of the art of war, but after all, he is a Han man, and his heart is to his own regime, which is also human nature." ”
Fu Rong sighed: "Ah Cheng, you are also a veteran of a hundred battles, think about the time when we destroyed the Yan Kingdom and the Dai Kingdom, it was the people who welcomed the king, at least there will be a local snake like Liu Weichen who is familiar with the local situation as the leader of the king's division, so the talent is like a bamboo, as long as the battlefield is victorious and the decisive battle is won, then the world can be passed on to the world, and there will be no thieves swarming and need to be suppressed everywhere." ”
Liang Cheng said with a smile: "That's our Heavenly King's benevolence and righteousness, and the four seas return to their hearts." ”
Fu Rong pointed to the empty Pengcheng City behind him, where the doors and windows of every house were closed, and the streets and alleys were empty, he gritted his teeth: "But now? Our army entered Huaibei all the way, and there was almost no one left in the city or in the countryside, what does this mean? This shows that Jin people do not welcome us! ”
Liang Cheng's expression gradually became serious: "Maybe it's just because the Jin army forcibly moved the residents of the city south." Or maybe it's because of the repeated tug-of-war here last year, and the people have long since fled. ”
Fu Rong shook his head: "If it had escaped a long time ago, it wouldn't have been locked like this, if it was for the army to go south, there would always be people hiding and waiting for our army to arrive before greeting them." Now we occupy 800 miles of land in Huaibei, and the people left behind are no more than 200 households, which is enough to show that the people here are yearning for the Jin Kingdom, not Daqin! ”
Liang Cheng's eyes flashed coldly: "This has been the land of the Jin State for a long time, and in the event of a war, it is common sense for the people to flee south, but for these disobedient people, it is necessary to let them remember it for a long time, let them know that neither the army of the Jin State nor the Yangtze River can protect them!" ”
Fu Rong sighed: "Ah Cheng, the book of war says that this is a typical enemy country danger, our army has no supplies here, and there is no guide, and we don't know anything about the enemy, so we will lose." ”
Liang Cheng shook his head: "When I fought Jingzhou last year, wasn't it the same, the Jin people all hid in Xiangyang City, the walls were clear, and they fought to the death, but in the end, in the face of the powerful force of our army, they were still defeated." It can be seen that the desire of this person may not be the only condition for victory or defeat, as long as there is absolute strength, the world can also be pacified! ”
Fu Rong shook his head: "Xiangyang is a lonely city, and besides, from Luoyang, Wancheng sent troops to Xiangyang, but it is only a few hundred miles, and it is not difficult to supply." You can play completely by strength. However, the distance from Pengcheng to Guangling is much longer, and the water network in the south of the Yangtze River is dense, so it is not easy for our army to move, and it is now winter, and it is difficult to supply. ”
When he said this, he frowned, pointed to the army marching in front, and said: "These troops who have gone south from Qingyan and other states already have some complaints, not to mention the army that has traveled long distances from Hebei and the land of clouds, and the weather is cold, so that they can march in this wild place for months before they reach the battlefield, lack of food and clothing, how much is left of this morale when it reaches the front line?" ”
The corners of Liang Cheng's mouth hooked: "I don't know about the army in other places, but the 50,000 elite soldiers I brought in Jingzhou, but the subordinates who have followed me for many years to fight, their morale is high, when they were in Xiangyang last year, they besieged the city for nearly a year, but they are still undiminished. ”
Fu Rong nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, you are right, your subordinates are all soldiers of our Di clan, and the rewards after the war are also a lot for them, and they are still relied on at critical times." I can't say this in the court, but now, just you and my brothers, there is nothing to avoid suspicion. Lu Gong is right, the alien race is unreliable, but if it is a soldier of his own clan, he can still rely on it. So, I now hope that you can play this pioneer well and win Shouchun as quickly as possible! ”
Liang Cheng nodded: "What's the point of taking Shouchun?" Why do you value this place so much? ”
Fu Rong sighed: "Because we want to use the results that can be seen and touched to give the Heavenly King an explanation, so that he can dispel the idea of destroying the Eastern Jin Dynasty in a war as soon as possible." ”
Liang Cheng's face changed: "What are these words?" Winning Shouchun is just right to fight a decisive battle with the Beifu army, wouldn't it be better if you could eliminate the main force of the Jin army in one battle? ”
Fu Rong sneered: "Ah Cheng, you are doing this war, but you are almost a little bit worse in this country." The Eastern Jin Dynasty has the Yangtze River natural danger, and the people's hearts are like this, how can it be destroyed in a war? ”
Liang Cheng's eyes widened: "This time, our army has raised an army of millions, how can it not destroy the country in a war?" If we don't destroy the country in a war, then our movement will be too big. ”
Fu Rong shook his head: "It was the Heavenly King who wanted to destroy the Eastern Jin Dynasty in one battle, and he thought so because the two traitors, Murong Chui and Yao Chang, repeatedly instigated and instigated, I argued in court in the court, tried every means to contact the important ministers, and the loyal ministers came to stop it, but they were unsuccessful, so this time the million-strong army went south." But Ah Cheng, do you know that the soldiers are not expensive, relying on these hundreds of thousands of foreign armies that are not too high in fighting spirit and are disgruntled, can they really destroy the Jin Kingdom? ”
Liang Cheng nodded thoughtfully: "So, you mean, taking Huaibei and Shouchun can be regarded as an explanation to the Heavenly King?" ”
Fu Rong smiled slightly: "Exactly." Taking Shouchun, the Jin State may have two reactions, either the Xie family is forced by the government and the opposition to fight a decisive battle, so that we can fight with them in Shouchun instead of Guangling, and transfer the Beifu army away from their old nest that they have been operating for many years, the odds of victory are much greater, and when necessary, you can also transfer Murong Chui over and let him be the vanguard to deal with the Beifu army, no matter who wins or who loses, it will not hurt us! ”
Liang Cheng said with a smile: "This is a good way to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, if it is fought in Shouchun, then Murong who transferred Jingzhou will come over, and he has no reason to refuse." What is another possible reaction? ”
Fu Rong Zhengse said: "Another reaction is that you are too fast, quickly capture Shouchun, and let Xie An excuse not be ready, such as insufficient military rations and the city is not strong, simply give up the entire Jiangbei and retreat to Jiangnan." ”
