Chapter 870: The first strike is the strongest
"What, Lao Lu is seriously injured? How is he now? Zhao Junsheng reacted violently.
Lin Jinghui hurriedly replied, "The news came that he was cut off his left arm during the fight, and his right leg was cut off tendons, and he was also lame, and the injured arm must not be able to be taken back, and the right leg was not treated in time because of the injury, and it has been impossible to recover after a long time!" ”
Zhao Junsheng's expression was gloomy, he didn't expect that this time the action of hunting and killing Tan Wuye would be so majestic, and it would have almost killed Lu Xuanbo, he had known that this would have happened, and it would be useless to regret it.
Zhao Junsheng immediately ordered Lin Jinghui, "It seems that it doesn't matter if we can kill Tan Wuye or not, I'm just afraid that the Bada Kingdom and the Rouran Kingdom have reached an alliance, and we have more important things to do!" Convey my will to Lu Xuanbo, cancel the action of hunting and killing Tan Wuye, let him return to Chang'an with everyone, and set off immediately after receiving the order, without delay! ”
Lin Jinghui clenched his fists: "No!" ”
"Also, from now on, all the black-clothed guards will be mobilized, and I will keep an eye on the Southern Dynasty and Rouran, especially Rouran, I must know its every move, and any troop movement must be reported at any time!"
"Obey the order!"
In the first month of the tenth year of the Great Qian, the black-clothed guard received the news that Tan Wuye had returned to the court of the Rouran Khan, and according to the news from the inside, Tan Wuye had indeed brought back the news of a successful alliance with the Rouda State.
After Zhao Junsheng received the report, he immediately convened several important ministers to discuss the matter.
"Zhuqing, I found out to the spies that the Rouran people have formed an alliance with the Rou Da people, they decided to jointly send troops to attack our country, the Rouran people are responsible for attacking my northern border, and the Rou Ran people are responsible for attacking my western region, but we don't know the specific troops, time and combat strategy, etc., at present, the spies are still working hard to investigate, but I don't think there is much hope, such confidential matters should only be known by a few Rouran high-level officials, even ordinary generals can't know about it, so the information we can collect can only go so far!"
"I called Zhu Qing over today, just to discuss a feasible strategy with Zhu Qing, and you can speak freely if you have any ideas and suggestions!"
Zhao Junsheng's words made several important ministers very angry, and Pei Jin said, "The people are so hateful, it has only been less than four months since they signed an agreement with us, and they have openly betrayed the alliance and joined forces with the Rouran people to deal with us, which is exactly how unreasonable!" ”
Liang Xiao said, "Pei Gong, the people are already barbaric and uncivilized, it is impossible to expect them to abide by the agreement, and His Majesty's original promise to sign an agreement with them was only to buy some time for our deployment in the Western Regions, and now we have completed the construction of the forts and Xiongguan Pass in the passes of the Green Mountains and the Tianshan Mountains, and there are garrisons to suppress the garrison, and it is not so easy for the Bada people to easily enter the Western Regions!" ”
Speaking of this, Liang Lin bowed his hand to Zhao Junsheng, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the first thing our dynasty should consider at present is to deal with the Rouran people, the Rouran people have formed an alliance with the Rou Ran people, and at this time they must be planning how to attack the northern border of our dynasty, rather than being beaten passively, it is better to take the initiative to attack, when the former Emperor Taiwu repeatedly beat the Rouran people to escape, is it not as good as the former Wei State?" I believe that under the command of Your Majesty, my cadres and horses will be able to kill the Rouran people and abandon their armor! ”
Several other ministers looked at each other, and Lu Xuan stood up and gave his hand: "Your Majesty, as far as the ministers know, in recent years, the Southern Dynasties have recuperated with the people, and the national strength has been greatly improved, with more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and they are becoming more and more disrespectful to our cadres. ”
Lu Xuan raised a very practical issue that could not be ignored at all, the national strength of the Southern Dynasty was not weak, if he only cared about fighting the soft and ignored the threat of the Southern Dynasty, it would be a big mistake, and everyone knew that the peace treaty was not binding at all, and the two sides could tear up the peace treaty at any time and raise troops to attack.
Zhao Junsheng looked at the other ministers and asked, "Xu Yan, what do you think?" ”
Xu Yan stood up and arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister felt a whim last night, so he made a hexagram, calculated that Rouran had the intention of attacking our court, and never thought that His Majesty would send someone to Xuanchen to the palace as soon as possible. ”
Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look at Dongfang Chen, "National Teacher, haven't you counted?" ”
Dongfang Chen stood up, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has arrived!" ”
Zhao Junsheng knocked on the imperial case, "Don't push everything to divination, I want to listen to your analysis, come up with a little dry goods, don't always use divination to send me away!" Since you can divinate and calculate, then you can calculate it for me, and calculate it clearly! The mysterious and mysterious set can only fool the ignorant people, here are all wise and profound people, do you fool me and Zhuqing as ignorant people? ”
Xu Yan's expression was indifferent, he stood up and arched his hand, "Your Majesty wants the ministers to calculate it one by one, and the ministers will calculate it for Your Majesty and everyone!" ”
"First of all, Rouran Khan Tuhe Zhenxin ascended the throne as a khan, he has no size merit, why should he be the khan? Even if he sits on it, his uncles and brothers, the heads of various tribes, and the generals will not be very submissive to him, and he needs to establish his prestige and prove to the people that he has the ability to make Rouran grow stronger! Scheming, the Rouran people will also, but the Rouran people will never surrender to a person because of fear of power, they are a group that respects force, so foreign conquest and plunder is the most effective and fastest means to establish their prestige in Toga Zhen, the Rouran people have always coveted the grasslands south of Yinshan Mountain, coveting the flower world of my Daqian, we will inevitably become his first choice to send troops, although the enemy like us is much more difficult to deal with than the Yueban people in the west, what do the Yueban people have? They are also barbarians, and even if Rouran wins, they won't gain much! ”
"Therefore, it is only a matter of time before the Rouran people send troops to attack our dynasty. For the barbarian cavalry, if it is only a defense, it is still us who will suffer in the end, and it is impossible for any defense to be invulnerable, as long as they fully mobilize our forces, our side will show a flaw in our defense! If you want to take the initiative, you can only attack! ”
"Besides, our army has taken the initiative to attack Rouran's chances of victory, our country has also taken the initiative to attack Rouran on a large scale since the founding of the country, of course, there are many reasons, but several marching routes to attack Rouran, the emperor of the previous dynasty has long been found out for us, although we have not entered Mobei for more than 20 years, but the mountains and rivers have not moved their positions in these 20 years, the route is still those routes, we step on the route of the predecessors to fight Rouran, we can save a lot of time to explore, know which locations are dangerous terrain to be easy to ambush, This is a point in our favor! ”
"Second, the command of our army is unified, if Your Majesty can personally conquer the Mobei Rouran people, all the soldiers will definitely fight bravely, not afraid of death, and have high morale! On the other hand, Rouran, the new Khan Tuhe Zhenxin succeeded to the throne not long ago, his prestige was not established, his cronies did not have many soldiers and horses, and he would still be constrained by his brothers and uncles, and his strength could not be used in one place, which was his most obvious weakness! ”
"Third, our dynasty can choose to attack in April, Cui Hao also suggested that Emperor Taiwu of the previous dynasty attack at this time, because he grasped the characteristics of the Rouran people to scatter and graze in the spring, and it is difficult to concentrate the troops, so as to achieve the purpose of defeating each of them!"
Lu Xuan stood up and provoked, "Duke Xu, you said that you want to attack in April, and now that the Rouran people have formed an alliance with the Bada people, they don't know when they will send troops to our court, what if they also send troops to our court in March and April?" If they don't follow your routine, then we will not only not be able to defeat each of them if we choose to send troops in April, but we may also be broken by each other or cut off our way back! ”
Xu Yan smiled and said, "If this is the case, I dare to bet ten times of money, it must be Rouran who turned around and ran away first!" Why do I dare to say that, we have the Great Wall defense line, what do the Rouran people have? If the two sides had not encountered each other on the march, and he had beaten him, and I had beaten mine, I was afraid that before he broke through our Great Wall defense, his khagan court lair would have been destroyed by us, and then he would have no people, no cattle, sheep, horses, and a large rear, what else could he do? He has only one way, like a lost dog to escape, but he will eventually be defeated on the way! ”
"Once the Rouran army encounters one of the roads with our army, our army can temporarily hold them back, not have a decisive battle with them, and quickly send someone to give an order to the other or two roads, so that they can come and converge, and then fight a decisive battle with the Rouran army when the forces are concentrated!"
Lu Xuan was not convinced, "You say that you will drag it out, and you want him to be willing, he is chasing you to fight, forcing you to fight a decisive battle all the way, if you don't fight a decisive battle, you will wait to be eaten away one by one!" ”
Xu Yan was furious, "The surname is Lu, are you deliberately raising the bar?" We're talking about war strategy, is it interesting for you to dwell on this? If you don't understand, don't speak, lest you be laughed at, and if you don't believe it, ask Your Majesty and a few generals present! ”
"Ahem!" Zhao Junsheng spoke up to stop the two from continuing to argue, "Okay, stop arguing!" Whether you can fight a decisive battle, whether you want a decisive battle or how to delay the time if you don't want a decisive battle, it depends on the specific situation at that time, the Lord will weigh the pros and cons according to the specific situation, how much chance of winning the decisive battle can be fought, if there is no chance of winning or the chance of winning is very small, then you must find a way to withdraw or occupy favorable terrain and wait for reinforcements! If you don't want to fight, there are still many ways to delay time, but if the opponent's commander is a shrewd person, he will definitely not be willing to be led by the nose! Therefore, the confrontation between the two armies is actually a contest of wisdom and strategy between the main generals, whoever can be more clever will have the last laugh! ”
When Zhao Junsheng said this, his eyes swept over the minister, "Xu Yan said a key point just now, passive defense can only be beaten, the initiative is in the hands of the enemy, the enemy can fight as much as he wants, we can only be tired of coping!" With our country's current national strength and military strength, we do not need to be passive in defense at all, but should take the initiative to attack! So, I decided to strike first."
"As for the Southern Dynasties, they don't have to worry, the forces we have now deployed in the Southern Xinjiang alone are enough to block their attack!"
