Chapter 411: Qin Mu's Strategic Choice
The news that Wanyan Agu was seriously ill quietly began to spread in Bianliang City.
No one knows where the source of this news is, but in the end, even Zhao Ji knew.
The Lord of the Kingdom of Gold is seriously ill! What a good thing! Zhao Ji suddenly came to his senses. He ordered Li Bangyan to immediately investigate the truth of this news.
Li Bangyan can't leave the capital, and he is not the intelligence leader of later generations, how can such news be found out whether it is true or false?
But what the emperor ordered must not be left undone. It's like the last time Zhao Ji asked him to solve the famine problem in the city, he also pretended to build a few porridge shacks.
Although it can't solve the problem fundamentally, it can also fool the scene.
Now Zhao Ji has given him an impossible task, Li Bangyan is still fooling around with the gourd.
"The official family, according to the minister's multiple visits, mainly as Han Yanwen of the Sifang Pavilion, said that Wanyan Aguta is indeed seriously ill." Find a cushion first, if Ah Gu is not sick, it is Han Yanwen's pot.
"Wonderful!" Zhao Ji's waist was stiff, and it seemed that everyone was so tall. People are in good spirits at happy events, and Ah Gu is going to die, so happy.
"Intended." Zhao Ji commanded casually.
Liang Shicheng immediately picked up the brush and waited for Zhao Ji to make a will.
"Ordered Gao Yu to be the generalissimo of the Southern Expedition, and the deputy of the Seed Master, to lead the army and quell the rebellion in Jiangnan."
Liang Shicheng finished writing it. He understood Zhao Ji's mind best. This is to take advantage of the fact that the people of the Jin Kingdom are too busy to kill Zhang Guo first.
Liang Shicheng also recognized this strategy, not only Liang Shicheng approved, but also the senior officials of the imperial court thought it was good.
It is dangerous to fight the gold country, and it should not be difficult to fight it. In the eyes of most people, Zhang Guo is just a large square la.
Now that the Emperor of the Jin State is heavily armed, the Jin State has no time to look south, which is a good opportunity to solve the Heavenly Master Army. Just let Gao Yu lead the troops, isn't it a bit abrupt?
There was a hint of concern among the officials. Only Liang Shicheng understood Zhao Ji's thoughts.
Zhao Ji became more and more distrustful of others. Zhang Guo is a heavenly master, and he has received a lot of benefits from the imperial court. Taoism was originally respected by the imperial court, and Zhang Guo was praised by Zhao Ji to the position of the first person in Taoism, but what was the result? He rebelled.
Not only rebelled, but also reversed. Now Zhang Guo occupies the Yangtze River and rules the river with Zhao Ji.
This feeling of betrayal by someone he trusts made Zhao Ji more and more suspicious.
Therefore, when he sends troops again, he can only find people he really trusts.
Among Gao Yu and Tong Guan, it is obvious that Gao Yu is the one who makes Zhao Ji trust - a lover relationship.
Tong Guan is an old eunuch, much older than Zhao Ji, no matter what, he can't reach the emotional level of Gao Yu and Zhao Ji.
After playing this time, let Gao Yu go. Anyway, Zhang Guo is only the second in Fang La, and now Lin Shenxian has created a powerful heavenly thunder.
That Tianlei Zhao Ji has inspected, and it is really amazingly powerful, and it is "erosive for dozens of miles", of course, this is also Zhao Ji's literati technique - he likes to exaggerate.
It's like "flying down 3,000 feet", a 1,000-meter waterfall, where does it exist, but Li Bai just wrote like this, no one can do anything to him.
The savings of the Great Song Dynasty were much stronger than those of the Heavenly Master Army. For example, today's Lei Army, a new type of military, has hundreds of large and small trebuchets, and countless heavenly thunderbolts have been prepared, which is enough to squander.
With the backing of the Tianlei Army, coupled with the Western Army, which can conquer and fight habitually, Gao Yu will definitely be able to live up to my expectations, kill the Tianshi Army, and recapture Jiangnan.
Gao Yu didn't expect that he would see the light of day again.
This appointment made Captain Gao tremble suddenly. He almost moved his family to the White Tiger Festival Hall, took the yamen as his home, and worked tirelessly to deal with the affairs before the expedition.
Qin Mu received the news almost at the same time as Gao Yu. Gao Yu received the holy decree, and Qin Mu received information from Mu Nanxing.
The imperial court is going to fight it, and this is in line with Qin Mu's direction.
Immediately after the attack on Wujiazhuang, the Guards Regiment held a military meeting. Only military personnel participated in this meeting, that is, Qin Mu and the four battalion commanders.
Shi Yi's opinion is to hit the gold country. If there is revenge, it is not a gentleman. Jin Wushu dared to come to Wujiazhuang to provoke, and he must be beaten.
The other three battalion commanders all agreed with Shi Yi's opinion. However, Liu Yunfei and Shi Yi had differences on the offensive line.
Shi Yi believed that he used Weishan Lake as a base and marched in the direction of Youzhou, from Youzhou to Shangjing of the Jin Kingdom.
Such an advantage is that it is possible to march by water. The water system of this time and space is developed, and the Guards Regiment can take a boat all the way, and only need to walk a few roads to reach the front line, which saves a lot of time and physical strength.
Liu Yunfei thought that although this was feasible, it would alarm the imperial court. It is impossible to hide from Guo Yaoshi in Youzhou. Pharmacist Guo was stationed in Yizhou. To fight Youzhou, you must pass through Yizhou, Yizhou is the territory of the imperial court, and the swaggering march along the way can't hide the official mansions along the way.
His opinion was from the Lower Loop area. Although there is a small water system over there, a large number of foot marches are required, but because it is outside the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, even if it is turned upside down, the Great Song Dynasty will not get any news.
Maybe he captured all the Jin Wushu alive, and Zhao Ji was still worried about Jin Guo.
His opinion was also very reasonable, and Shi Yi and the others couldn't help but think about it carefully.
Qin Mu was greatly moved by the growth of Shi Yi and others. Finally they have grown up, and each of them can be in charge of their own affairs.
However, Qin Mu still didn't nod immediately. Fighting the Jin State, the two offensive routes are good, and either one can achieve the goal of eliminating the Jin State. But whether to fight the Jin Kingdom now, Qin Mu didn't figure it out.
Wujiazhuang's harassment by Jin Wushu was an accident, if it wasn't for Qin Hui telling Jin Wushu that Xu Shuwei was in Wujiazhuang, Jin Wushu would not have been able to come here.
Qin Mu didn't like to change his strategy for the sake of unexpected events.
The previous strategy was to develop with a dull head, and it was not until the appearance that the Heavenly Master Army occupied Jiangnan that the first variable was brought to his plan.
From the overall strategic point of view, the Heavenly Master Army was a greater threat to Qin Mu than the Jin State. Because the Heavenly Master Army occupied Jiangnan, he occupied the granary of Jiangnan. In this way, not only the price of grain in Bianliang has skyrocketed, but in fact, the grain in Weishan Lake is not rich.
Although Shi Yi and Liu Yunfei led the Guards Regiment to attack continuously a while ago, occupying a large amount of land in the name of suppressing bandits, this scope is limited after all.
Overall, the land acquired is not as large as a single state. This is also because the Guards Regiment has been fighting from Weishan Lake to the north, that is, in the direction of Liangshan.
Because Liangshan was still occupied by bandits in the eyes of the imperial court, the government in that area was very weak. Because of this, the Guards Regiment's anti-bandit operations were silent. Anyway, the local government did not dare to report it.
The output of this piece of land and the consumption of the center of Weishan Lake have reached a reluctant balance. Weishan Lake's food reserves are only two months, but refugees are still flocking to Weishan Lake.
The absence of new food sources is unstable.
Qin Mu could transport grain from the northwest. The northwest has made tremendous progress in the past year or so, and it can be said that the agriculture has turned upside down.
Countless new granaries were built, and each granary was filled with grain.
This is where Qin Mu's confidence lies. It's just that transporting grain from the northwest is a long way, and it is extremely uneconomical in terms of cost.
The best solution is to defeat the Heavenly Division Army and take Jiangnan. After taking Jiangnan, Qin Mu no longer has to worry about food.
It's just that the Guards Regiment sent troops to fight Jiangnan and lacked a name. Before, Zhe Kecun told Zhao Ji that all his soldiers had run out, and now he was going to fight Jiangnan, and it could not be said that all the Zhejia troops had run back.
Isn't it obvious that you are playing Zhao Ji as a fool - to tease you!
Grain is an aspect of Qin Mu's consideration. Another aspect is the issue of human resources.
Qin Mu needed a large number of workers, especially skilled workers. Fighting the kingdom of gold, he can get nothing but kill a herd of livestock. At present, Qin Mu still does not lack the wasteland of Baishan and Heishui to grow food.
What he needs most now are shipbuilders. Although Wu Yongfu built a seaport in Qingdao, Qin Mu had to admit that changes were always faster than planned.
Now it seems that it is better to build a shipyard in Jiangnan, because it is the shipbuilding base of the Great Song Dynasty and there are a large number of skilled workers.
Sun Tzu's famous saying: Don't be angry and raise troops, you can't be discouraged and cause war!
That is, those in high positions, especially military generals, cannot fight because of their mood swings.
Now the high-ranking generals of the Guards Regiment were clearly under the influence of the Golden Vulture and felt that they had been offended and despised. Jin Wushu brought one hundred and fifty people, and he wanted to sack Wujiazhuang, which simply looked down on the Guards Regiment.
Of course, this is Shi Yi and the others themselves looking for qi life, in fact, how can Jin Wushu know about the existence of the Guards Regiment.
But Shi Yi and the others were just angry and a little crazy. They are a brand new army, an existence that crushes everything, who knows but they are knocked on the door, this is really "tolerable and unbearable!" ”
You have to get the scene back. So they just want to fight the gold country.
In the end, Qin Mu had to persuade everyone. In any case, war is a continuation of politics, and politics is for profit. Now that he is fighting the gold country, there is really no interest at all, and there is no oil and water at all.
Qin Mu didn't need Dongzhu and Haidongqing, what he wanted was that land to follow his own system. However, this system has not yet been established, and there is still a shortage of talents. Now to take the country of gold, the gains outweigh the losses.
In fact, having said so much, half of it is more correct to deduce it this way, and the other half is even more critical. When the author wrote this book, it was 2019, and at this time, the management of online articles suddenly became extremely strict, with many rules and regulations.
In this way, the author cannot but consider whether the book can be continued or not. A relatively large box is that it cannot change history. At present, the time in the book is July of the fifth year of Xuanhe, at this time the Great Song Dynasty is not yet the Northern Song Dynasty, and there are still two years before Jingkang's shame can happen.
If the Jin State is destroyed by sending troops now, then Jing Kang's shame will be gone. And then what? How Zhao Ji abdicated in the seventh year of Xuanhe, and how Zhao Huan came to power, these are all problems.
When I started writing the book, I didn't have these frameworks, and I was halfway through writing and I suddenly caught up with it, which caused some changes in my outline.
Therefore, I can't go to the gold country at this time. So I have to go to Zhang first.
There is no such thing as the Heavenly Division Army occupying Jiangnan, so the Guards Regiment killing the Heavenly Division Army is equivalent to restoring history and will not be harmonized.
Of course, the reader can forget my above paragraph, because even without these problems in writing, my choice of strategic goals is justified and not nonsense.
There is grain and skilled workers in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is far away from the core of the Great Song Dynasty - farther than Weishan Lake, which is more suitable for Qin Mu operation.
Therefore, it is necessary to fight Jiangnan and fight the Heavenly Division.
As soon as Qin Mu unified his thoughts for Shi Yi and others, he received news from Mu Nanxing, saying that Gao Yu was in command and would go to fight the Heavenly Division Army again.
This is simply a sleepy encounter with a pillow, and he is worried that he has no name, but Zhao Ji sent it to him
Then also draw the scoop according to the gourd. How did the Zhejiajun cooperate with Han Shizhong last time, this time again.
According to Qin Mu's order, Zhe Keqiu once again organized a 3,000-strong Zhejia army and quickly sent it over.
This time, Zhao Ji was very anxious.
Zhang Guo cut off the grain transportation line in the south of the Yangtze River, and the grain storage in Bianliang was getting smaller and smaller day by day, and Zhao Ji couldn't help but be in a hurry.
He sent out three or four holy decrees a day, that is, to urge the seed army of the Liu family army to march quickly.
The Western Army came to the capital faster than before, converged with the forbidden army, and under the leadership of Gao Yu, advanced towards the south of the Yangtze River.
When the army passed by Weishan Lake, the Guards Regiment merged into the ranks of the Zhejia army.
Their target is Yangzhou.
Han Shizhong and Wu Song retreated to the defeated there, facing each other across the Yangtze River and the Heavenly Master Army.
Gao Yu wanted to join forces with Han Shizhong, and then used Yangzhou as a base to start suppressing bandits and quelling the rebellion.
In August of the fifth year of Xuanhe, the battle against Zhang Guo officially began!
At the same time, the Emperor of the Jin State died of illness.
Kim Taejo, it's over, he will never have the chance to see the emergence of a new era with his own eyes!
I don't know if it's his luck or misfortune.
Fortunately, he didn't see the Jin Kingdom disappearing in the hands of Qin Mu.
Unfortunately, he did not see that the power that conquered the world was so powerful and vast.
With Jin Taizu's eloquence, I don't know what he would say about the creator of all this, Qin Mu, if he could see everything in the future.
