Chapter 35 Grand Strategy
Since he is ready to establish a meritorious career, his high-ranking people have also made suggestions, in just two days, Wang Zhaoyuan summoned Xiao Yi, the envoy of Chu again, and put forward an ambitious grand strategy, vowing to destroy the pseudo-Zhou to forget.
Since Meng Chang was persuaded by Xiao Yi to agree to form an alliance with the Chu State. This Great Zhou became a pseudo-Zhou in the official expression of Shu, and recognized that Guo Wei was a usurper. Of course, there is still a slight difference between Shu and Chu, Chu claims to be a "crusade on behalf of the heavens" and crusades against the traitors for the emperor of the Han Dynasty; And Shu is "Shunyi rebellion", if you usurp the throne, you will become a thief, and the Celestial Empire will send troops to crusade against you.
Wang Zhaoyuan proudly said his grand strategy to this Xiao Yi, which is actually very simple: Shu and Chu fought together, Chu sent troops to Huainan, directly took Songzhou, and threatened Bianjing, the capital of the puppet Zhou, while Shu led the army to the Meridian Valley and shortened the pass. The east of Tongguan belongs to the state of Chu, and the west of Tongguan belongs to the state of Shu.
Seeing that Wang Zhaoyuan finished the strategy in a few words, Xiao Yimu sat there in a daze, and his brain was a little short circuit for a while. Although he was a civil servant, the literati of this era liked to show themselves as all-rounders, except for not being able to farm, they could be regarded as jack-of-all-trades. Xiao Yi, as an important minister of the Chu State, although he has never fought much, he has heard a lot of things about marching and fighting.
This Wang Zhaoyuan's plan is too child's play, and it is also a great disadvantage for the Chu State. Why? Because most of the elite soldiers of the pseudo-Zhou are in Kanto, there are many quantities and good quality. Hebei's elite soldiers are not far behind the Khitan. The army in Guanzhong is not small, but only 20,000 white-clothed troops can be regarded as elite soldiers. What's more, the state of Chu attacked the heart of the pseudo-Zhou, and Guo Wei had just been proclaimed emperor, so I am afraid that he would not give up Bianjing easily.
can directly say that in this way, the Chu State is too much of a loss, and Lao Tzu will not do it. I am afraid that the alliance that has just been formed will collapse again, which is not in line with the policy that Jack Ma is currently implementing. Xiao Yi thought for a while and said, "Lord Wang's plan is really wonderful. The two countries sent troops together, and the pseudo-Zhou Wei could not take care of each other, although the world was big, it could be decided by a war. ”
Seeing Wang Zhaoyuan smiling proudly, Xiao Yi's words changed: "However, although Lord Wang's plan is wonderful, the lower officials think that now is not the time to implement it." Judging from the current situation, the pseudo-Zhou is strong, expanding more than 100 states, and there are more than 300,000 people with armor, while Chu and Shu are weak, even if they merge together, they may not be sure of victory. Lord Wang's strategy can be implemented as a plan to finally destroy Zhou, but now, the lower officials think that it is still mainly harassment. ”
"Harassment-based?" Wang Zhaoyuan was a little unhappy, it took him two days to come up with this clever plan, but he was immediately denied, and he was naturally not very happy. In addition, he himself has a different judgment of the situation, the guy on the other side is one strong and two weak, but in Wang Zhaoyuan's heart, he thinks that the three strong stand side by side, at least two strong and one weak. Chu Shu didn't seem to play with both hands to deal with pseudo-Zhou.
Xiao Yizheng said: "Exactly." Let's make an appointment, for example, in January, your country sent troops to the Meridian Valley, harassed Guanzhong, attracted the troops of the pseudo-Zhou, and when the pseudo-Zhou mobilized a large army, you quietly retreated to Hanzhong, stubbornly defended the line of the Dasan Pass, and let the army of the pseudo-Zhou be transferred in vain. And in February, my Da Chu sent troops to Huainan to threaten Songzhou, and when the Zhou soldiers came, we returned to Huainan and let them run for nothing. In this way, it didn't take long to not only consume the grain, grass and money of the pseudo-Zhou, making them unable to continue, but at the same time, it could exhaust the troops of the pseudo-Zhou, making the sergeants dissatisfied. Wait until this time, let's really attack in two ways, according to Lord Wang's plan, won't the Central Plains be at your fingertips? ”
The purpose of Xiao Yi's envoy was actually to promote Li Xiang's four-nation competition, which to put it bluntly, was similar to a kind of wheel warfare. In the four directions of the southeast, the northwest, there were constantly people exerting pressure on the puppet Zhou, making the puppet Zhou's army tired of coping and further weakening the puppet Zhou's military and financial strength. Unfortunately, the times were not good, and there were now only two of Shikoku left.
Wang Zhaoyuan frowned unconsciously, Xiao Yi said something, it was not created by Li Xiang, there are many people who use this kind of tired tactic in history. For example, when Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu played like this against the Han Dynasty, fighting Jibei for a while, and hitting Yunzhong for a while, so that the Han Dynasty could not be defended.
Wang Zhaoyuan knows this strategy, and this strategy is generally relatively effective. All of a sudden, he was a little more clever than his own strategy. Wang Zhaoyuan was a little disobedient in his heart, and he said: "Lord Xiao, you can't help but be a little afraid of the enemy like a tiger. Although we don't have much contact with the pseudo-Zhou, the hundreds of thousands of people in Dashu are not vegetarians, and the nobles are good at fighting, and the officials have heard a lot about it. If our two countries are united, how can a mere pseudo-Zhou be our opponent. ”
Xiao Yi was stunned, he knew that Wang Zhaoyuan was conceited, but he didn't expect Wang Zhaoyuan to be so conceited. As soon as he said it again, Wang Zhaoyuan continued: "In addition, this strategy of your country is actually flawed. If you want to attract the army of the puppet Zhou, you must send a lot of troops, and this sending troops to the expedition, wandering outside for a while and suddenly collecting troops and returning, is it not a kind of consumption of your own national strength. With soldiers, if you don't fight, as long as you are in addition to the border, it will cost a lot of grain, grass and silver? ”
"Sending troops, naturally, will consume food and grass. However, when your country sent troops to Guanzhong, when returning to the army, it was just right to coerce some of the people back to Hanzhong, and the war was nothing more than manpower, with so many people, it was a kind of help to your country, and the pseudo-Zhou was a kind of consumption, not to mention, your country sent troops like this, so coerced the people, and the people who migrated to Guanzhong must be frightened, I am afraid that if the pseudo-Zhou wants to move the people of Guandong in the future, it will be much more difficult to fill Guanzhong. If Guanzhong cannot be revived, there will not be many garrisons in Guanzhong, which will also be of great benefit to your country. What does Lord Wang think? Xiao Yi explained.
Xiao Yi thought that his opinion was reasonable, but as soon as his voice fell, Wang Zhaoyuan's face sank: "Lord Xiao, sending troops to plunder the people is a big violation of heaven and peace, and this bandit behavior is also." My lord is benevolent, how can he do such a thing, not to mention, sooner or later, the land of Guanzhong will be returned to my Dashu, and now the words are broken, when the time comes, a broken Guanzhong, what good will it do to my Dashu? ”
Wang Zhaoyuan's words made Xiao Yi cry and laugh, the land of Guanzhong belongs to Dashu, and there is no one in the eight characters, so I think about such a good thing in my heart. So, Xiao Yi tactfully persuaded a few words, one was to vaguely remind Wang Zhaoyuan that the pseudo-Zhou is not easy to deal with, don't make the bamboo basket empty; Second, it also adhered to the strategy of the Chu State. The two of them talked like this for two days, but there was no progress at all.
In this way, Wang Zhaoyuan was provoked, and seeing that Xiao Yi was extremely dissatisfied, he was no longer polite in his words, and almost accused Chu Guo of being cowardly and afraid of death. This matter made a fuss, and the Chu State originally took the initiative to form an alliance, but it turned out that the Chu State was hesitant and did not dare to form an alliance. And Wang Zhaoyuan brushed his arms and dispatched the army, which means that Chu State does not do it, and we Dashu do it alone.
Xiao Yi had no choice but to go back to Jinling to ask Ma Yun.
