Chapter 143 Waiting
Wang Pu continued: "In this battle, if we win, then Yelu Tart Lie is likely to lose ground in the Khitan, and Gao Mohan and others will regain power, and at that time, my Great Zhou and Khitan will have a chance to negotiate peace." ”
"Sir thinks that in this battle, our army can have a chance of victory."
"The minister felt that in this battle, our army had six victories and the enemy army had six defeats. First, the elite army is still there, the reorganization of the Hebei forbidden army has been put in place, plus the first battle of Gaoping, the shock of Hebei, the generals of the Hebei army are all loyal and brave people, the morale is high, and the military spirit is available. Second, His Majesty is ambitious, the world is salty, the court is united; Third, the land of Yanyun is the homeland of the Central Plains, and both the people and the terrain are very beneficial to the army of our dynasty, at least in terms of recruiting soldiers and listening to news, it is much more convenient than the Khitans who have been entrenched here for more than ten years; Fourth, fierce generals are like clouds, and brave warriors are everywhere; Fifth, Liu Chong, Meng Chang, Ma Yun and others continued to seize the momentum in the First World War in the Central Plains, and they no longer had the ability to enter the army in the short term, giving us a good opportunity to fight against the Khitan; Sixth, by surprise, the Khitans were arrogant, and they never imagined that our army would suddenly attack, and they were discouraged without a fight. ”
Guo Rong nodded, what is our army's six victories, it is nothing more than to talk about the current advantages of Da Zhou, let Guo Rong say it himself, he can also say seventy or eighty. What he wanted to hear was why the Khitans had six defeats. I want to hear how Wang Pu explains.
Wang Pu also knew what Guo Rong was thinking, and he stopped talking nonsense, and continued: "The Khitans have lost six times. First, the Khitan and Chu States are united, but they have their own ghosts in their hearts, the Chu State wants to take advantage of the situation to plot against the Central Plains, and once the Khitan goes south, it is by no means a casual walk around the Central Plains and then retreats, between the two, there is a contradiction in the hidden ground, the Chu State wants to use us to test and consume the Khitan military power, and the Khitan hopes that we and the Chu State will lose both. Chen dared to assert: The confluence of the two powers will inevitably not be able to do it like an arm! If we fight with the Khitan, the state of Chu will definitely not rush to join the war at the beginning of the war, and he has enough reasons to wait until the situation is clear before sending troops to grab the fruit. Just like the Battle of Gaoping, if it weren't for the defeat of Dangshan, how could Liu Chong have borrowed troops from the Khitan and marched south? As soon as they sent troops, there was a time difference, giving us the opportunity to break through one by one. ”
Guo Rong nodded and said: "In the battle of Bianjing, most of the elite of the East Road of Chu State lost most of them, and they are powerless to make a big move north, unless... ”
Wang Pu said: "Unless we are defeated." ”
Guo Rong nodded solemnly, and Wang Pu continued: "Your Majesty's second reason for listening to the minister: the Khitan government is chaotic, the two factions contradict each other, Yelu Tart Lie wants to become famous in one fell swoop, but Gao Mohan never wants to see this situation, they are not the same internally, even if the Khitan has 600,000 troops, this combat effectiveness will also be discounted; Third, there are some famous generals under Gao Mohan's command, but Yelu Tzulie and the people under his command are inexperienced, whether it is this person who commands the army, or his cronies in his faction, they are not qualified commanders. As the so-called soldiers are bearing, they will be in a nest, and these gentlemen are in power, and the military strength of the Khitans will be discounted, even the most deadly. Fourth, the Khitan had a fighting spirit but no fighting spirit, and there were many people clamoring to go south, but the army was not ready to go south. After all, it doesn't matter if you shout a few slogans, if it is a large-scale preparation for war, no one will dare to do it without Yelujing's consent. Fifth, although the Khitan Emperor Yelu Jing is not a dumb person, he is by no means a British lord, and his father and brother must be far inferior in not only his knowledge, but also far inferior in courage. Whether it is Abaoji, Yelu Deguang, or the killed Yelu Wuyi, they are all people who are willing to risk arrows and fight ruthlessly, these people have the belligerent nature of the Khitan people in their bones, but Yelu Jing can't, his battle was either beaten by his grandmother, or he was fought for him by his courtiers. ”
"Hey, hey, Yelujing is just a fool, if I can swap with him, it will not be difficult for the world to take it." Guo Rong shook his head and said. Yelu Jing is the son of Yelu Deguang, who grew up beside his grandmother since he was a child, he is very handsome and has good knowledge, in addition to a little bad habits, at first glance, he is also wise and martial. It's just that Yelude died naked in the Central Plains and wanted to usurp the throne, but Yelujing didn't react at all, but his grandmother didn't like it and summoned the Khitan tribe who stayed in Liaodong, sent troops to fight against Wuxi, and was imprisoned by Wuyi after the defeat. Originally, in this life, Yelujing could only look up at the sky all day long, and look down at the ants moving. Who knows, Wu wanted to see the situation clearly, after the defeat of the Central Plains, the Khitan troops had no intention of fighting, he just had to organize people three times twice to travel and sightseeing in the Central Plains, but every time he toured, not only did he not take advantage of the sheep, but was sent out of the country by the Central Plains army, and ran back to Beijing in a gray manner. The cost of this public travel was too great, and the ministers were not satisfied, so they united to kill the vultures and save Yelujing, who had been idle all day. If it weren't for the vultures who were too stupid, how could there be Yelu Jing's throne.
"When Yelu Jing first ascended the throne, whoever wanted to make a suggestion to go south, that person must have been unlucky, and often said: The land of the Central Plains is not my former residence, and it is useless to gain it. Although he has relaxed this year, he has not let go of his mouth when it comes to going south. According to the minister's opinion, this person's lack of ambition is on the one hand, on the other hand, he is also afraid that when the war is raging, he will lose control of the Khitan regime and end up like a vulture. Therefore, it is better to seek stability than to pursue profit. Wang Pu continued: "Sixth, there are quite a lot of Han generals in the sixteen states of Yanyun, since Zhao Yan's life was lost, the status of the Han generals in the Khitan court has plummeted, and there are many contradictions between the Khitan and Han officials. This can be seen from Yang Gon's positive performance close to Yelu Tart, but Yelu Tartlie feels average about him. Han officials have no sense of belonging in the Khitan, and they are looking for backers and backstage again. If our army goes north, it is very likely that this group of people will fall to our army, so that our army will be greatly resisted at least in the Yanyun area. ”
Guo Rong nodded. As a first-class military advisor, Wang Pu will never put his hopes on the mission alone, and pin everything on Gao Mohan, while he sent envoys to show goodwill, he also continued to send people to secretly meet with the Han generals in the Yanyun area. The Han generals in Khitan, Yizhou, Xiongzhou and other places have already been quite moved.
"With these six victories, our army will win, and the Khitan army will be defeated!" Wang Pu said loudly.
Guo Rong was a little tempted, his trust in Wang Pu was one thing, and the sinister situation at the moment also played a great role in his invisible pressure. To put it bluntly, there must be a battle between the Khitan and the Great Zhou, and this battle can't drag on for too long. Since you can fight sooner or later, it's better to take the initiative to attack yourself!
Wang Pu stood quietly, quietly waiting for Guo Rong's final decision, and he stopped talking. Because he knew that if Guo Rong could make up his mind, what he just said was enough, and if he couldn't make up his mind, it wouldn't take much help to say anything. To be honest, this move is indeed a risky move. The most lethal thing is: the Khitans are fighting endlessly, that is, they do not have a decisive battle with the main force of the Great Zhou, and drag the Great Zhou in the Yanyun area, so that the Great Zhou is in danger. Of course, Wang Pu also understood that the arrogance of the Khitans made it impossible for them to adopt this trick, but now there was more of the factor of the Chu State.
But if you don't take risks, if you fight steadily, I'm afraid it won't take three years, even if the Central Plains will not be lost, Da Zhou will not be able to support it. A little mistake has caused the current extremely passive and embarrassing predicament of the Great Zhou, the most elite troops have gone west out of Liangzhou, and it will take five years to pacify the Western Regions at the earliest.
According to the plan originally designed by Wang Pu, when pacifying the Western Regions, he must try his best to ensure that the Khitans do not go south. The key to this plan is to assassinate Ma Xicao, sow discord between the Gao faction and the Tart Lie faction, and let the Khitan unintentionally go south within five years to buy time for Zhao Kuangyin.
But now, the plan is stuck in key places. The general trend of the confluence of the Khitan and Chu states has been unstoppable. What to do? Waiting for the two ** teams to continue to attack the Great Zhou back and forth, so that the Great Zhou army is increasingly exhausted in the north-south dispatch, then the future of the Great Zhou will have no future at all.
Of course, if Da Zhou has a step to withdraw from the Central Plains. In the face of the fat meat of the Central Plains, Liu Chong, Ma Yun, and Ye Lujing, who were originally united by ghosts, will they part ways? Originally, in Wang Pu's heart, he was full of affirmation of this, and in response to this situation, he designed several schemes, so that the Chu State could get the Central Plains, but he was burdened with an unusually heavy burden. But now he was a little hesitant in his heart, he was a little reluctant to think about it, or he didn't dare to imagine the planned stride forward and backward.
How did all this change? Wang Pu didn't believe in chance, he didn't believe that the failure of this horse assassination case was due to accidental factors, and he felt that this was not a hint of a sign that all the major events in the world were carried out in the plan of the Chu State. Ma Yun, who originally thought he could see through, made him confused. Why? Why did the old forces of Li Tang, Wu Yue, and Lingnan not change at all when the Chu State was defeated and the army's morale was turbulent, and why did Suzhou and Sizhou, where the large army was stationed, change hands again after a month's effort, and it was before the Chu State did not send a large army?
He wants to interrupt Ma Yun's plan, even if he takes some risks, makes everything uncertain, and puts everything out of his control, and he is not willing to follow the steps of Chu State step by step. He is not afraid of these, Guo Rong is not afraid of these, and Zhao Kuangyin is not afraid of these, but what about local officials? If they see that the Khitan and the Chu State are united, and the Great Zhou can only be tired of dealing with them, will these officials continue to stand under the banner of the Great Zhou, and will they be loyal to the Great Zhou?
So, Wang Pu came up with this risky plan in an instant. He was waiting, waiting for Guo Rong's reply, waiting for Guo Rong's support.
