Chapter 578: Strategy Against Fujian
Wu Xun sighed and said, "Alas! But I heard that he has relented in recent years, and he has begun to know how to consider the stakes, which is probably the effect of Xiao Yi's guidance and him. ”
"But in this way, we have no way of knowing what he is thinking. However, no matter which camp he stands in, let's not provoke him easily. ”
Li Yi smiled and said, "I won't provoke a black-faced judge like him?" I'm just afraid that he will catch the wind and cause some right and wrong from it, and I will be a little uncomfortable. ”
"Today's expansion of the new city in Ningzhou, as well as the renovation of the Xuanfu Embassy, have made him quite unhappy, and he said something unpleasant in front of me, looking at this posture, I don't know if he has made up his mind to participate in my book. I don't know the bottom of my heart! ”
Wu Xun was slightly stunned, and then nodded: "If this is the case, this matter must be guarded against." However, didn't Ningzhou's expansion of the new city get the permission of the imperial court? As for the repair of the Xuanfu Embassy, it was just a trivial matter, and he couldn't afford to make any big waves. ”
"I've made a note of this, and when I'm on the road, I'll talk to him in detail about it tactfully, and it shouldn't be a big problem."
Li Yi nodded yes, put the topic down, and the two drank a few glasses of wine in a row, remembering that Wu Xun was about to lead the troops to the battle, but Li Yi already knew the result of the war, no matter how much effort and effort was put in, the two sides would soon stop the war.
According to the history books, after the war, the Southern Han still gained some benefits. Although it was not specified, Li Yi found a problem from it.
That is, the place of Chaozhou in the southeast of the Southern Han Dynasty still belongs to the Fujian State, but the territory map of the Southern Han Dynasty after 940 includes Chaozhou, which means that Chaozhou will eventually fall into the hands of the Southern Han Dynasty, and it is believed that it will be within a year or two, so you can place your hopes on this campaign. You must know that if Wu Xun has not made any gains in this battle, his career may basically come to an end.
Thinking of this, Li Yi couldn't help but ask with a little worry: "Although the Min Kingdom is small, it is like a clenched fist, once it is exerted, it should not be underestimated. Although our Han Dynasty has tens of thousands of soldiers on the border, the Fujian side has also made full preparations for war. Once the two sides start a war, it will be like 'Mars hitting the earth', and they can only fight to the death. Losing money and working for nothing, is not what we want to see. ”
Wu Xun was surprised: "What is 'Mars hitting the earth', and what is this metaphor trying to illustrate?" ”
Li Yi secretly scolded himself for being reckless, and even used the language of later generations, so he had to pretend to be calm and said: "That's the case, according to the astrological signs, Mars and Earth are two stars about the same size, and if they collide, it can only be the result of both jade and stone burning." I'm just using this as an analogy. ”
Wu Xun nodded slightly, sighed and said, "The terrain of Fujian is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if half of our country's troops are transferred, I am afraid it will be difficult to build a large number of achievements. I'm not arrogant, but in the current situation, I can only see the determination of our emperor. If he was just to breathe a sigh of air, the battle would be hard to fight. ”
Hearing him say this, Li Yi suddenly asked with some confusion: "Why did the marshal say that?" It stands to reason that as long as it is a small war, it should be much easier to deal with. The two sides generally don't hurt their muscles and bones, and they just stop at a superficial level, so what's so difficult to fight? ”
Wu Xun smiled and said, "Runzhi doesn't know anything!" In all wars aimed at annexing enemy countries, as long as there are no constraints in the country, the court will work together and plan exhaustively, the money and food will be sufficient, and the soldiers and armor will be strong for a while. Even if you can't plunder the enemy chieftain and return, you will definitely be able to conquer the city and return with a full load. ”
"And in this situation, the emperor is just trying to get away with it for a while, and then he is worried about the movement of Northern Chu, and he will never do his best to pour the country's armor, even if he is half of the country's strength, he will not use it. His Majesty himself is hesitant in such a situation of many worries and stagnations, how can he get the support of the court doctors and the whole country to work together? ”
"Alas! In my opinion, General Liang on the Jingzhou front line is well aware of the inside situation, so he will not move. With Liang Kezhen's old scheming, how could he not take advantage of his own reputation and do this useless work. In fact, what he is doing now is the word 'waiting', and if the court does not make up its mind for a day, he will not make any moves. ”
Li Yi nodded frequently and said, "What does the emperor think in his heart, how can we know?" Those who follow it cannot grasp the will of the saints, and of course they are afraid to act. ”
"I think the emperor is a wise and intelligent person, he doesn't know his mind, and he also has the idea of going with the flow. But once this war is fought, it is not something that any one person can control, and if it leads to a full-scale war between the two countries, such ambiguity without explanation will be harmful and useless. ”
Wu Xun raised his head and drank a glass of wine, put down the wine glass with a heavy bang, wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "There is one thing that Runzhi must understand, the emperor does not need to put so many battlefields in the country, and only uses me, a little-known person, which is not difficult to explain!" ”
Li Yi looked at him in surprise, pondered left and right, and seemed to suddenly understand the gist of it, and couldn't help nodding lightly: "The veteran of the battlefield is cautious in his use of troops, and he will never take the enemy lightly if he is not sure." Brother Wu is not only brave and good at fighting, but also full of wisdom, in Guangbei once won three levels in a row overnight, more than a dozen battles are won with less. Such an impressive record shows that Brother Wu is not only full of courage, but also good at winning with wit, both of which are appreciated by the emperor. ”
"And in today's confrontation between Han and Fujian, the emperor needs a Confucian general like you. Even if you can't conquer the city as you want, you must kill the other party's prestige. You must know that Han and Fujian have been friendly for more than ten years, and since the death of the founding lord of Fujian, the relationship between the two countries has deteriorated. ”
"The emperor has long had the intention of taking Fujian, but he is afraid that the national strength of Fujian still exists, and the details are not clear, so he does not dare to use troops easily. And now with this opportunity, if you want to get involved in Fujian again, you will have a high-sounding excuse. But I still have to say that the Fujian Kingdom is now concerted and well-prepared, even with Brother Wu's extraordinary talents, I am afraid that it can only return in vain. ”
Wu Xun sighed and said, "Alas! Runzhi really understands it. However, the emperor has added 10,000 troops to Jingzhou, bringing the total number of troops to as much as 40,000. The strength of the whole country of Fujian is only 100,000, and only about half of them can be transferred to the border between Han and Fujian. The two countries are evenly matched in terms of strength, and we still have a certain chance. ”
