Chapter 404: The World Clan Strikes
Can the monarchs and ministers of Shao Kingdom be frightened?
Emperor Wu suddenly became interested, and he really couldn't figure out how he could make the monarchs and ministers of Shao State frightened with only six catapults.
The rest of the generals also looked quite interested.
Going to war, this is something that all countries agree on, and now that Wu is in an unprecedented crisis, if it can really carry out a miracle plan, it will be better.
"I heard that after Your Majesty got those trebuchets, he once summoned domestic craftsmen to imitate them on a large scale."
Emperor Wu was very disappointed, and sighed: "Imitation is indeed a thing, but the catapult produced by Cangguo is too complicated, and the steel materials are not ordinary mortal iron, even if it is exactly the same imitation, the power is far from the same, if it is an ordinary small city, it is okay, but this Shaocheng ...... I'm afraid the general is going to be disappointed. ”
"Your Majesty has misunderstood the minister's meaning." Tang Ai shook his head with a smile, pointed to the city in the distance and said: "Your Majesty, look, Shaocheng is several miles away from here, the east wind is thick at the moment, it seems to be cold and cold, the enemy army must not be able to look at it from afar, our army only needs to carry those catapults to the front line, led by six catapults, and display them outside the city, which will definitely make the enemy army frightened, and the nobles in the city will flee from the wind." At that time, taking advantage of the chaos in Shaocheng and the panic of the people, our army will surrender in a timely manner, and Shaocheng will not be like a bag to take things? ”
"This ...... This is not good, my Wu country fought this battle, just to win a dignified victory, to show the countries of the world the strength of my Wu country, if you use a trick to win, wouldn't it be a waste of all your previous achievements, let all countries laugh? ”
"Your Majesty is too worried, as long as Shaocheng is broken, I will be a sword, and the enemy will be fish and meat, as long as those who surrender die, who knows how our army will break through the city?"
Emperor Wu's eyes lit up, and he glanced at the generals around him, and silently calculated in his heart, which seemed to make sense, so he nodded and said: "That's right, last time I was in Cangguo, I heard someone say that the prince who becomes a prince and a thief who loses, the so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating, maybe it is the truth that Aiqing said." In this way, the siege of the city is all up to the general, but we must remember that we don't have much time, I will leave for the imperial city early tomorrow morning to coordinate the overall situation of all parties, Aiqing must rush to capture Shao before the arrival of the Cangguo army, and then order the slaughter of the city! ”
"Yes!"
……
As soon as the Emperor Shao returned to Shao, he was greeted not by drums, but by a group of weeping courtiers.
"Your Majesty, you're back!"
"Shao Guo is going to be finished, Shao Guo is going to be finished, Gongzi An should be broken into ten thousand pieces!"
"Your Majesty, please severely punish Gongzi An to calm the hearts of the army!"
"Please also ask Your Majesty to preside over the overall situation, remove the power of Gongzi's army, and let the army meet the enemy!"
The ministers of the world wept bitterly and begged Emperor Shao to preside over the overall situation and punish Gongzi An.
Looking at the ministers of the clan all over the land, when Emperor Shao returned to China, after seeing that Shao Cheng was safe and sound, he let go of his heart and tightened it again.
He didn't know that Gongzi'an's retreat strategy was correct, but the clan disagreed!
On the one hand, Gongzi An retreated one after another, and he was indeed afraid of war.
On the other hand, the properties of the major families suffered heavy losses in the successive retreats, and some families even had nothing left overnight.
This is the contradiction between the royal family and the family, the purpose of the royal family is to protect the national temple, and they are with the country, as long as the country is still there, there can be taxes, etc., and the foundation of the royal family cannot be hurt, and the family first considers the interests of the family, and now retreats to Shaocheng, no matter which family, they have suffered heavy losses.
The interests and demands of the two are different, so the reaction to the great retreat is also different, even among those in the clan who think that the retreat is beneficial to the entire Shao State, they also think that there is a better choice, that is, at the beginning, fight according to the pass.
As a result, Gongzi An's retreat strategy offended all the clans at once.
Emperor Shao sighed in his heart, as a ruler who had been in power for more than twenty years, he knew that there were some things that could not be said.
For example, if Gongzi An hadn't advocated retreat at the beginning, I'm afraid that the first battle at the border pass would have been a decisive battle.
Can Shao Jun agree to that decisive battle?
The answer is no.
Even if the Shao army held the first battle, the Wu army would not have much loss, and the Wu army, which would not give up, would definitely make a comeback until the Shao army was severely damaged.
The danger is too great!
It is better to keep the army, and in the future, when the state of Wu can no longer withstand the pressure of the rest of the countries, it will be used to recover the lost territory of the state of Shao.
Emperor Shao understood this, but he couldn't say it.
Although the major clans have lost most of their industries, but for the royal family, the most terrible thing about the clan is never how much money they have, but the foundation and heritage in the court.
Emperor Shao raised his hand, motioned for everyone to stand up, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, when the alliance was met this time, I once heard a sentence in the military camp of Cangguo, the so-called one who wants the same wins, a hundred generals are united, the three armies work together, everyone wants to fight, then there is no way forward, and now the commanders of the three armies are fighting in front, why are you fighting so far?" Zhu Qing hurry up, and after returning to the palace, he will carefully discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy. ”
However, after he said this, it did not cause any reaction from the ministers of the earthly clans, and these people did not have the slightest intention of getting up.
With a sigh in his heart, Emperor Shao realized that he was in trouble today.
After a pause, he said, "You are all the ministers of my Shao Kingdom, why is this so?" Master Tan, you are close to old age, and you don't enjoy your family at home, if you kneel here for a long time, you will be tired and tired, but it will be a loss for my Shao country. ”
"Shaocheng is in danger, there are strong soldiers outside, and there are national thieves inside, so how can the old minister enjoy his family? In short, if the national thief is not eliminated for a day, the old man will not be able to afford it for a day! ”
"That's right! Weichen suspected that Gongzi'an had accepted bribes from Wu Jun, so he retreated again and again, and the minister implored His Majesty to punish him severely! ”
"Severe punishment!"
"The lieutenant general is quite talented!"
"We all support connectors!"
For a time, many clan leaders kneeling on the ground demanded that Gongzi An be abolished and that Lianqi be appointed as the main general, that is, to adopt Lianqi's active strategy to face the battle.
Emperor Shao's face became ugly, it was obvious that these clans had already discussed it when they came to greet him, and if they didn't agree today, these people would not give up.
If you say it well, it is an exhortation, but if you don't say it well, it is a contest between monarchs and ministers!
"If you want to kneel here for a long time, then you can't afford to kneel for a long time, I am a little tired, I have to go to the palace to rest first, and then discuss the strategy of resisting the Wu army."
Emperor Shao flicked his sleeves and was about to leave with a cold face.
