Chapter 188: No one can drag it out

"Your Majesty, the Zhou army took advantage of the turmoil in my Khitan Murwei Department, first attacked head-on, attracting the main force of our army to the south, and then rushed thousands of miles to attack Shangjing. In Yichen's view, the most dangerous thing is not our Khitan, but the Zhou State itself. Gao Mohan said with a smile.

"Gao Xiang, where did you start with this?" Listening to Gao Mohan's smiling appearance, it seemed that the Khitans had taken a big advantage, which made Gao Xun extremely surprised. Shangjing fell, countless princes and ministers died in Huangquan, and it should be our Khitan people who are anxious at the moment.

Yelu Jing was curious, and his mood actually calmed down a lot the moment he saw Gao Mohan's smile. Perhaps, he remembered that he was in rebellion and killed his cousin Emperor Sejong, who was Gao Mohan who led the army King Qin to eliminate the rebellion, and personally went to Nanshan to find refuge himself, and kept himself on the throne of the Khitan. To some extent, this old man can be regarded as his father-in-law. For a while, Yelu Jing secretly regretted in his heart, over the years, he not only failed to obey his words and plans for his father, but instead supported Yelu Tzulie and others, and took away a lot of rights from Gao Mohan's hands, so that Gao Mohan gradually stood aside in the political arena and military. At a critical time, the Khitan still needs such a hero. In times of peace, of course, you will feel that this Gao Mohan is a great master, but once it is a time of war, it is really difficult to deal with the situation without such a calm minister.

Gao Mohan didn't expect that Yelu Jing was secretly regretting it, and he explained on the side: "Your Majesty, the strategy of the Zhou army and soldiers to divide into two ways and attack the west is very bold, and it does play an unexpected role now. But there is one thing, their plan is not seamless and flawless. ”

"Gao Xiang, what do you think, where are their loopholes?" Gao Xun asked from the side. Although the factions are different and the political views are different, Gao Xun is definitely not a villain who brings disaster to the country and the people, and he is also dedicated to the future of the Khitan. Relatively speaking, although Yelujing is the emperor, he does not have such a high consciousness as Gao Xun, nor does he have such strong patriotic feelings as Gao Xun. Yelujing is a drunkard, and now he can concentrate so much only because Shangjing was burned, but Shangjing fell. From the founding of the Khitan state, this is the first time in the world, and the first time the nest has been swept away.

"Their biggest loophole is that the north and the south are not connected, and it is difficult for the two roads to cooperate with each other!" Gao Mohan said with a smile.

Gao Xun is not a fool, listening to Gao Mohan's explanation, his panicked eyes immediately lit up, and he immediately bowed down and said to Yelujing: "Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to immediately issue an edict to block all the passes on the first line of Yanshan such as Juyong Pass, and not allow horses and birds to go south!" ”

Gao Mohan glanced at Gao Xun approvingly, and Gao Xun finally reacted quickly. Yelujing nodded and said, "Yes." But, Gao Xiang, is there any use in doing this? ”

Gao Mohan smiled: "It works. Running thousands of miles, it is simple to say. But it's very difficult to actually sit up. When the hussar general Huo Qu was sick and rushed thousands of miles to attack the Huns, he had a premise that the Huns had been greatly weakened in previous wars. was sick by Huo Qu like driving a flock of sheep, chasing the head of the rat. And now, the Zhou army has attacked my Khitan Shangjing, which cannot be compared with Huo Quai's illness at all. Our Shangjing City was indeed lost in the hands of the Zhou army, but the strength of our army did not suffer any real losses. Weichen thought that the main reason why he easily attacked Shangjing was because we had transferred too many troops from the Bai Datan Department and the Mo Pavilion Lost Department under the command of the Southwest Road Envoy, so that the Southwest Road Envoy could not take action in time for the Zhou army. How many troops are there in Shangjing, but there are only 6,000 people in Chongde Palace, plus they are negligent, and under the confusion, they lose Shangjing. The loss of Shangjing naturally has to be investigated, but the loss of Shangjing does not mean that the number of Zhou troops in Shangjing is huge. On the contrary, the minister thought that this was just a partial division of the enemy, but this partial division was extremely brave. In the opinion of the ministers, the confrontation between the Khitan and the Zhou armies, Shannan, which really affects the overall situation, if we can defeat the main force of the Zhou army in Shannan, then the Zhou army in Beijing will not retreat. Even, the Zhou army in Beijing has now begun to retreat. ”

Gao Xun lowered his eyes and thought to himself: Didn't I just come up with this idea? Shannan's army did not move, lured the Zhou army to attack, fought a decisive battle with the Zhou army in Shannan, and then went north to deal with the Zhou army's partial division after victory. As for what to do if you are defeated? Cold salad, the main force lost, and he made a fart, ran directly to Liaodong, and relied on the army of the expedition to slowly recover its strength.

People are more angry than people. Basically similar words, Gao Mohan said it was much more convincing than Gao Xun said it. At least, Yelu Jing didn't frown, but instead widened his eyes and turned his ears sideways to ask Gao Mohan for the next step.

In fact, Gao Xun said that in the first half of the strategy, Gao Mohan agreed. However, in the second half, Gao Xun said that he asked Yelu Tart Lie to lead the army to feign northward to attract the Zhou army to go north to Nanjing to attack the city of Nanjing. Gao Mohan disagrees with this. If Yelu Tartlie's army really moved, as long as the commander of the Zhou army was not stupid, he must have guessed that this must have played a role in the partial division, so that Yelu had to mobilize the army to turn around. At this time, the first thing the Zhou army had to do was not to send troops north, but to wait. Wait for Yelu Tart's army to go on for a while, wait for the panicked Han generals to surrender, and then send troops north, so that the Khitan army can not take care of the front and back.

"The Zhou army is strong in combat and good at defending the city. If we take the initiative to attack Zhuozhou, or let the army pretend to go north, attracting the Zhou army to attack Nanjing, there are loopholes. The Art of War: Fiction is real, and reality is virtual. With his fanfare going north, he was seen through by the Zhou army at a glance. We might as well send someone to make peace. Gao Mohan said.

"However, if peace is negotiated, Zhou Jun can't guess that something will happen to us in Beijing?" Gao Xun said in disbelief.

"Can't guess? Of course he guessed. In fact, as long as we block the Yanshan passes, so that the people north of Yanshan cannot go south, and the news of the main force of the Zhou army and the partial division is interrupted, then the main force of the Zhou army will inevitably think that their partial division has played a role. But how big is this role, and whether we can mobilize our army to the north, they have to think about it. Gao Mohan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Zhou army has a second weakness. This weakness is very accurately seen by our ally Jiangnan Chu State! The elite of the Zhou army is the elite, but unfortunately, it cannot last, and the Zhou army does not have enough food to support a long-term war. Therefore, Zhou Jun knew that it was extremely risky, but he had to run thousands of miles, and the main reason for this was that they lacked food and grass and could not fight a protracted war with us. ”

"Since the Zhou army can't fight a protracted war, then why can't we release the news that Shangjing was burned, and let Yelu Tzulie stay in Nanjing honestly with the army, waiting for the enemy's attack?" Jerejin asked.

"Your Majesty, because we can't afford it either. Shangjing was burned, and the life and death of the families of my elite troops were uncertain, so it was okay to hide it from them for a while, but if you wanted to hide it from them for the rest of your life, it would be impossible at all. Therefore, the minister suggested sending a large number of officers to the Zhou army camp to sue for peace, so that the Zhou army was confused. Let them not know whether their partiality has succeeded or not, and how great the results are! ”

Gao Xun clapped his hands violently and said: "What Gao Xiang means, is it to put on a look that can be talked about or not, so that Zhou Jun doesn't know whether our troops in Nanjing are secretly drawn out and go north, or continue to stay in Nanjing." In this way, the Zhou army will inevitably send an army to test us, and when the time comes, we will pretend that the troops are scarce and be taken advantage of by the Zhou army, then the Zhou army will definitely think that our army has gone north, and it will inevitably be dispatched. This gives us the opportunity to fight the Zhou army! ”

Gao Mohan shook his head and said, "Lord Gao, you are in too much of a hurry. On the contrary, I think that for the army that Zhou Jun is tempting, we must not only not lose, but also fight a good battle. Only in this way can Zhou Jun think that our strength is weak, and we are strong on the outside! ”

"This... Is this possible? Yelujing asked rhetorically. To be honest, the conversation between Gao Mohan and Gao Xun went around and around, and he didn't understand it a little.

Gao Mohan nodded firmly and said, "It's feasible." The Zhou army captured Shangjing, but it was in the heart of our Khitan, and although the results were remarkable, his every move was completely under our control. As long as our Khitan army of 200,000 comes back to help, the partial division of the Zhou army will undoubtedly be defeated. And the journey from Yanshan to Shangjing is only five days, one back and forth, plus the days of dealing with the Zhou army's partial division, at most half a month. And half a month later, even if we don't completely defeat the Zhou army's partial division, our troops in Liaodong and Northwest Road can be mobilized back, and at that time, the Zhou army's partial division will no longer be a problem. In other words, in addition to the influence of grain and grass, strategically speaking, if the main force of the Zhou army wants to seize Shannan, it must also fight a decisive battle with our army within half a month. And, the sooner the better. Because of the postponement, it means that the number of troops we can invest in Shannan will increase, which will be even more unfavorable to the Zhou army. If once half a month has passed, more than 400,000 people of the Third Route Army will gather under the city of Nanjing, and it will be difficult for the Zhou army to be undefeated. ”

Yelu Jing nodded, he now understood what Gao Mohan meant, Zhou Jun also had the idea of a decisive battle, as long as Zhou Jun felt that there was a cheap place to stand, they would take the initiative to fight. Who can be sent to fool Zhou Jun? Yelu Jing's inquiring gaze looked at Gao Mohan.
