Chapter 29: Garrison in Lingzhou (1)

Shi Xubai smiled slightly, diverted the topic, and said: "Your Majesty and the imperial court are full of Guanzhong, and the idea of using Guanzhong to control Guandong is naturally good, but unfortunately, time has changed, and today's situation is very different from that of the former Han Dynasty and Li Tang. Just if you want to follow the example of the sages of the past and govern Guanzhong, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed. ”

Zhao Kuangyin secretly praised his third brother in his heart for his high scheming, and he actually used this kind of rumor to relocate the people, listening to Shi Xubai's words, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but glance at the old man, and saw Shi Xubai holding his short beard, looking unfathomable. Zhao Kuangyin thought for a moment and said: "Mr. is worried that Guanzhong is close to Shu, and is he worried that Shu will send troops to harass Guanzhong and affect Tuntian's plan?" ”

Shi Xubai said with a smile: "Well, what the general said is very true, the imperial court Tuntian Guanzhong, in order to be in a safe place, focus on opening a backup place, Guanzhong does not have big enemies like Khitan and Chu, but there are countless small enemies around. There is no Hanzhong in the south of Guanzhong, there is no Longyou and Longxi in the west, there is no Xiazhou and Yinzhou in the north, and there are no important towns around Fuque, Guanzhong seems to be stable, but it is a hidden shock. ”

"According to Mr. Wang's opinion, isn't it a mistake to be in Guanzhong Tuntian?" Zhao Kuangyin's eyes rolled, a hint of joy and sorrow flashed, maybe because of his military background, Zhao Kuangyin didn't care much about Tuntian Guanzhong, perhaps, deep in his heart, he didn't think Tuntian Guanzhong was a good countermeasure. If he is the emperor, if he can be in charge of the world of the Great Zhou, then instead of bothering to build Tuntian, it is better to consolidate the land of Henan, and then select elite troops to go south, cross the Huai River and fight for the land of Huainan with the Chu State. When it comes to today's top three, in terms of military strength, the Khitan is the most, the Great Zhou is the second, and the Chu State is obviously the weakest. Since the state of Chu is weak, and the state of Chu has just captured Huainan, the people's hearts are not necessarily attached, at this time, if the army of the Zhou army goes south and crosses the river, the state of Chu may not be the opponent of the Great Zhou. Zhao Kuangyin is very enthusiastic about the military, in his opinion, there are no less than 200,000 elite soldiers in Hebei in the Great Zhou, and the elite troops of the Chu State are only 100,000 at best. It is very likely that the Zhou army will move south in one fell swoop, defeat the Huainan troops of the Chu army, and capture Huainan.

It's a pity that a while ago, the military dynamics of the Chu State poked and poked, which made the Great Zhou court feel uneasy and did not dare to go south, of course, more importantly, the Chu State was newly Huainan, but the Great Zhou Dynasty had just been established, whether it was the emperor or the imperial court, there were some precautions against the locality, at this time, no one dared to propose to raise troops to the south.

"Hehe, does General Fei want to go south to attack Chu? Attacking Chu is a good move, but it is also a dangerous move, a dangerous move that will be born after death. The emperor may not be able to see this, but the state of Chu is not a paper paste, once defeated in Huainan, whether it is Liu Chong or the Khitans, or even the state of Chu, they will send troops to attack Zhou. The feudal town rebelled, and the strong enemy entered the Kou, and then the Great Zhou would be defeated. Shi Xubai knows Zhao Kuangyin better, this person is good at military affairs, short of government affairs, and is definitely a rare general in the world in terms of strategy, but he is still a little immature politically.

Shi Xubai pointed out that he would no longer discuss the matter of attacking Chu now, after all, this matter is basically a fantasy, and after the Great Zhou determined the policy of filling Guanzhong, it undoubtedly released an obvious political signal: civil affairs first. We should give priority to economic construction and pay due attention to national defense construction. Shi Xubai then analyzed the policy of filling Guanzhong and said: "General Zhao, whether it is a mistake to fill Guanzhong or not, there are two key points. ”

Now Zhao Kuangyin is not concerned about civil affairs, and asked directly: "Are those two?" ”

"First, if you want to make the people feel at ease, the people will be at ease, then all industries will be prosperous, and the people will be unstable, and nothing can be done well. Second, to reassure the imperial court, after all, it is in the Central Plains, and it is inevitable for the Great Zhou to balance the world in the future, and if you are enemies of powerful countries like Khitan and Chu, if you don't do your best, how can you be sure of victory. What if you can do both? In fact, it is very simple, it is to let Guanzhong really settle down and no longer be threatened by the surrounding strength. ”

"Safe?" Zhao Kuangyin's eyes rolled, he quickly understood what Shi Xubai meant, and he smiled: "What does Mr. mean that after the third brother trains his troops, he will go south to attack Shu?" The Shu army is weak, we fought three years ago, they are not our opponents at all, they have conquered Shu in a big way, and occupied Chengdu, and the situation in Guanzhong will immediately improve. ”

"Hehe, general, what you think is too simple, the Shu army is weak, the Shu country is weak, the monarch is mediocre, and the politics are not clear, but the Shu country is not so easy to be captured, if we attack the Shu country, then the Chu country will inevitably send troops to save Shu, with the interference of the Chu army, it is not easy for us to destroy the Shu country. However, when I say stable Guanzhong, I do not mean to seize the Shu State, but to directly seize the Longyou area of the Shu State. At the same time, we will hurt Shu and let Shu close off the country, sit alone in Shu, and dare not send troops easily, so that we can achieve our goal. ”

Zhao Kuangyin laughed: "Okay, then there will be another battle to fight!" However, just taking Longyou is not enough to maintain the safety of Guanzhong. ”

"That's right. Therefore, it is necessary to take Longxi and Shouling Prefecture. Shi Xubai said: "Go south to attack Shu and occupy Lingzhou in the west, these two things cannot be occupied by the general at the same time, I don't know if the general wants to attack Shu or Shoulingzhou?" ”

"I'm just a general, if I want to speak from my heart, I naturally want to go south to attack Shu. After all, this battle merit is greater. Zhao Kuangyin thought for a moment and said.

"Hehe, it's bad for the general to think so. Attacking Shu in the south is nothing more than the states and counties in Longyou, and the west guard is not just about defending the city. If the king of Jin wants to train his troops, he must divide the horse infantry army, and the infantry army is near Yongxing, and the horse army is likely to train in Lingzhou, after all, that place is a natural prairie. To the west of Lingzhou, there were ethnic groups such as the Dangxiang and the Uighurs who were fighting endlessly, and many of those people disobeyed the king's orders, and the general could even crusade against them. There was a rift between the various tribes of the Dangxiang and the Uighurs, and if they were skillfully provoked, 10,000 horses would be enough to sweep through the Hexi Corridor. The land in Liangzhou, Ganzhou, Suzhou, Guazhou and other places west of Lingzhou is fertile, and I heard that there are many Han people and Dangxiang people who farm there. If the general occupies the entire Hexi Corridor and expands the cavalry force, the credit will be much greater than the capture of Longyou. ”
