Chapter 1043: The Thief Screams to Catch the Thief (1)
After confirming that the bamboo tube was well sealed, Bailiyan immediately unscrewed the bamboo tube and took out a letter from it. The bamboo tube of Yuke usually only contains wax pills, and it is rare to hold letters. It can be seen that the content that needs to be expressed can be explained clearly without three words or two words.
After opening the letter and looking at it carefully, I couldn't help but sink my heart, according to the news that the royal guest had obtained, Liang Tianzi directly dispatched the forbidden army to attack and guard, and the royal guest was also placed aside.
The reason is that the Son of Heaven went to Boyuan City for refuge, and the main force of the forbidden army was still in the capital Jinye, and only the forbidden army of the inner palace and the private soldiers of the major magnates were taken away, and Boyuan could not live in a large number of soldiers and horses, so the main force of the forbidden army was in the Gyeonggi area, and the eyes of the royal guests moved to Boyuan City.
Liang Guo sent the forbidden army out of the city from Jinye, and the royal guests only thought that the smallpox spread and the forbidden army went out of the city to take refuge, so it did not arouse suspicion at first, until the forbidden army left Gyeonggi County and went all the way east into Guanling County and went straight to the border, then realized that the Liang army was preparing to attack and defend, and then wrote a secret report at this time, and when the news arrived, the Liang army had already been prepared.
"Sure enough, the troops were dispatched, and the appetite was not small."
Secretly said in her heart, Bai Liyan put away the secret letter and raised her hand to thank the person who came over:
"Thank you for the letter, please rest in the house tonight, and it's not too late to hurry tomorrow."
"It's all within my share, and the Marquis of Yongxing is serious."
The person who came raised his hand to return the salute, Bai Liyan immediately arranged for a group of people to live in the east wing, and then ordered Wei Qi to invite Zong Botai to discuss countermeasures.
When he was young, Zong Botai came slowly, and when he saw Bailiyan's solemn face, Zong Botai had already guessed the inside story, but he still cautiously covered his bag and did not want to publicize it.
"The deputy marshal is coming down, and I don't know what to order."
"Mr. Zongbo, please take a seat, you will understand after reading this gentleman."
handed over the secret letter to Zong Botai, and Baili Yanjing sat back on the throne. When he was young, Zong Botai read the full text, and his expression did not fluctuate, he said:
"How is Master Hou going to deal with it?"
"Immediately send Tian Peng Fangliang's Sixth Town Army and Xu Jin's First Town Army to surround the cities of Gongxiang County, and at the same time order the Third Group Army of Lugaoguan and Longxiang to divide their troops to the south, capture the three counties of Chunjiang and Shangxue in the middle and late middle and late periods, open up the passage to defend the country, and at most give Liang State to occupy Pei County."
"This will disrupt the existing deployment of our army, and at the same time delay the main force of attacking and defending the western front in the north, which is very likely to cause the situation in which our army's forces are scattered and broken by the defenders. What's more, dividing troops to the south will lengthen the distance between the armies and the transfer of baggage, which is very unfavorable to the dispatch of troops and horses.
If what I expected is right, Liang Guo's move is intended to lure our army to divide more troops to occupy more Weiguo counties and counties, and he privately colludes with Weiguo to plot against our army, so it is very inappropriate to divide troops now. ”
"Previously, Mr. had said that he could break the Liang Kingdom and send troops, can Mr. come to the mystery at this time."
When the words fell, Zong Botai got up and stepped forward to approach Baili Yan mysteriously and cautiously said:
"This plan is the best policy, it has to be this plan, but I can't see the light of day, I don't know if the Hou Ye is willing to give it a try."
Bailiyan's eyes turned counterclockwise, and he only felt that Zong Botai definitely didn't have any good ideas, but he had to say that it was the best policy, but if it was the best policy, it must be a bad idea.
"Sir, just say, it's up to you to decide whether to do it or not."
"That being the case, in the next bold statement, our army can pretend to be a guard to rob and kill the Liang army, and then our army will chase and kill the Liang army pretending to be our army with another force, invade Liang County, and occupy part of the territory of Guanling County of Liang State.
Then the only reason for the guards to attack Liang Guo, I pretended to be a guard to surround and surrender, so that these cities are the land occupied by our army in a blink of an eye, and if Liang Guo wants to claim back, he can only ask for our army, so isn't it wonderful. ”
"Hiss......" Bailiyan only felt that his brain was convulsive when he heard the news, and his eyes were full of flowers, and Zong Botai's attention could only be described as "dirty". Officers and soldiers are pretending to be thieves through and through.
"Sir, our army is pretending to be a guard, isn't it revealing it, this is a declaration of war."
"That deputy marshal has ever thought that Liang Guo can help me."
"What do you mean, sir?"
"Liang State plotted the Central Plains with deception, bullied the princes to control the world, his words have long been untrustworthy, and today's son is not virtuous and does not pity the common people, and he is ashamed of the princes. Even if our army attacked the Son of Heaven in the name of the guards, it would not be very happy. ”
"Oh...... Mr. Ben Shuai understood. Mr. is saying that the princes have long been dissatisfied with the Son of Heaven and resentful, but because of the situation, no one dares to do anything about the world, but in fact, everyone hates it to the bone and wants to get rid of it as soon as possible. ”
"Exactly. As long as the Liang State remains, it will be difficult for the world to return to the new master, so the overlords of all dynasties have plans to destroy the Liang State, but it will be difficult to achieve great things in the end. Now our army is attacking the Son of Heaven and the king's army, and not destroying his kingdom, but it is to give color, and it is also to give color to the princes of the world. ”
As the suzerain, Liang had a transcendent political status, but Liang's territory was not enough to intimidate the princes, so it should theoretically be a puppet of the overlord.
However, Liang State held the sea and land routes from Beihai to Xihai, located in the center of the east-west communication line of the entire Central Plains, which brought rolling financial resources and economic resources to Liang State, and at the peak of Liang State's precious metals accounted for three percent of the entire Central Plains, and its economic influence was extremely strong.
At the same time, with the assistance of the Chengdao faction and other sects, Liang Tianzi always had a group of loyal strategists, taking advantage of the disputes and contradictions between the princes to provoke wars, pulling one to fight another, and pulling one faction to fight another. Constantly support the potential second child to fight the overlord of the Central Plains, and then the reciprocating operation has been tried and tested, helping the second child to get on the horse again and again, and pulling the boss off the horse again and again.
This kind of trick can be done once or twice, and no one can stand it if the princes are tired, because they can't stand the toss of the Liang State like this, the overlord of the Central Plains for nearly a hundred years has also learned to be obedient, and no longer rashly provokes wars and creates an encirclement network for themselves, but it is still no match for the economic blockade and sanctions organized by the Liang State openly and secretly.
And in recent decades, the overlord unfortunately took the turn of Zhiguo, who was an introverted and witty and endurant character, and bravely carried the encirclement of the princes and the economic blockade, so there was the Black Turban Rebellion.
The ultimate goal of the Black Turban Rebellion was to plague the Central Plains, and then destroy the Xian State and bring down the Jin and Zhi countries.
Under such a toss, the princes can still swallow their anger, and the reason for this is economic resources.
The focus of the economy under the agrarian civilization is agriculture, but industrial and commercial goods other than agriculture need circulation channels and exchange markets, while regulated goods and scarce resources need precious metals, and technological exchanges need precious metals.
Liang controlled the largest trade hub in the Central Plains, and at the same time established Changsun to control the Beihai artery and Changsun's domestic trade sites, and through economic radiation, firmly controlled the trade sites in the old land of Sun Guo, so that most of the core trade sites in the Central Plains were controlled by Liang.
Previously, the Ligong faction was attached to the Liang State, and the advanced smelting and loom technology was monopolized by the Ligong faction and the Liang State, and the goods of the Liang State could affect the economic operation of the main vassal states, and the military strength of the Liang State was not weak, and no princes had ever dared to attack the Liang State.
Because of the contradictions between the princes of the time, they were always able to create a group of princes who chose to stand in line with the Liang State, so as to obtain the economic benefits and political acquiescence of the Liang State, so the Liang State used economic strength and strategy and deception to constantly play with the vassal states in applause.
But good and evil will be rewarded in the end, not that they will not be rewarded, and the time has not yet come. In the last 30 years, there have been four accidents in a row, breaking the established policy of Liang Guo's advancement.
First, the Jin State did not fully achieve its goal in attacking Xian, which did not further intensify the internal contradictions of Xianguo, resulting in the Black Turban Rebellion, which failed to destroy Xianguo in one go, but was dragged by Xianguo.
Second, the mutation of the black scarf and the uncontrolled backlash against Liang Guo caused Liang Guo to change its strategy.
Third, the mutation of Xianguo completely reversed the situation of economic dominance, and the precious metals imported from the Southern War extended a large wave of life to Zhiguo, and also brought a lot of benefits to Weiguo.
Fourth, the uncontrolled expansion and development of the Central Plains, which was full of barbaric thoughts, disrupted the existing geopolitical pattern of the Central Plains and provided a buffer space for the Xianguo to become bigger.
When several things are superimposed, the first thing to offset is the economic advantage, and the second is that the political credibility of the Liang State has been exhausted under the treachery of several times, and when the two golden bell jars of economy and politics fail, military force will become the last means of self-defense.
However, the Liang State, which is now economically and politically inferior, is fundamentally vulnerable in the face of the Xian State, and the deep geopolitical contradictions accumulated over the years will prompt the princes to be cautious.
Due to the constraints of communication technology and decision-making speed, the news of the Xian army's attack on the Liang army with the Wei army could not be transmitted to various countries in a short period of time and was confirmed. At the same time, the princes still need to find out the positions of the other princes before they can react. This process can take as little as two months and as much as three or four months.
After March or April, the war may be over, and then the condemnation is being organized, and the countries send envoys to lobby the alliance, etc., and when the anti-Xian alliance is organized, I don't know if it is the year of the monkey.
Second, we need to grasp the heat and bottom line. Attacking the Liang army was in the name of the Wei army, attacking rather than destroying the country, and the Son of Heaven could never step down. Theoretically, whoever gets rid of the Son of Heaven and who gets the jade seal is orthodox, and if you get rid of the Son of Heaven, people will have to get you.
Third, to be a bitch, you have to erect an archway, so that the world has nothing to say. Therefore, after the land of Liang State in the name of the Wei Army was taken over by the Xian army, he had to say good things and return it with respectful hands, so that the Son of Heaven could express his gratitude.
Fourth, and the most realistic, the purpose of attacking the city of Liang is secondary, mainly to attack the Liang country itself, create economic panic, and let the businessmen of various countries gathered in Liang understand in their hearts that Liang is no longer the safest investment country. In this way, economic and financial turmoil is created, and capital is driven to flow to various countries, and most importantly to the salty countries.
In the end, the essence of interests is the economy and resources, whether for the sake of land or political ambitions, but the economy is indispensable for governing the country to achieve its goals. The commodities and economy of the Xianguo country have firmly locked the princes of various countries, and now the Xianguo has sent millions of troops, and whoever wants to make a head bird can try the knife of the Xianguo country.
As long as we grasp the red line and don't go too far, strategically Xianguo has a lot of initiative, and it is also the best strategy to solve the series of political consequences brought about by Liang's dispatch of troops at the moment.
