Chapter 564 Insidious Plan

In this matter, before Lin Shuying came, Yan Wushuang thought about it many times, as long as the Song army camp maintained the independence of the Tiger Army, the two sides would basically succeed in negotiating this matter. Please search () to see the most complete! The fastest update

Because Li Mutie was determined to switch to the Song State, he was bound to lower his requirements for the Song State, but he just wanted to switch to the Yan State, but the military order was difficult to disobey, so he had to contact the Song State.

Lin Shuying smiled and said nothing, picked up the teacup and drank it gently, but Liu Zhuoya said: "General Yan, you should know that the infantry of the Song Kingdom has three fierce legions, but the cavalry is the weakest link in the Song Kingdom, even if it was trained in the past, it is only 50,000 cavalry, and its combat effectiveness is vulnerable.

The emperor meant that if the Tiger Army switched to the Song State, it would not only be able to maintain its independence, but also recruit 300,000 new troops, or even more, and hand them over to the generals of the Tiger Army for training, and strive to build ironclad cavalry similar to the Yan State, and these troops would all be led by General Li and would only be responsible to the empress.

I don't know what General Yan thinks of the empress's sincerity, if there is anything incomprehensible, General Yan continues to ask! ”

Training 300,000, plus more than 200,000 of the Tiger Army itself, defecting to the Song State, will lead more than 500,000 cavalry, and 300,000 of them will be ironclad cavalry.

At the peak of the Tiger Army, they had never led so many legions, and for a while, Yan Wushuang was completely moved.

He said excitedly: "The empress is very loved, and the last general will tell the general, however, the last general thinks that the Song State has a great general Meng Kuo, and the prince Song Qi is in charge of the military, if General Li Mu agrees to train the ironclad cavalry, he will become the person who holds the most military power in the Song army, which will inevitably cause Meng Kuo and Song Qi to be unhappy, if the two are worried that the Tiger Ben Army will gain a foothold in the Song State and occupy a dominant position, and launch an attack on the Tiger Ben Army, dare to ask Your Majesty, how will this matter be handled?" ”

This matter is the most important thing, Li Mu has never mentioned it every day, and he may not have thought about it, but Yan Wushuang feels that this matter must be clarified.

After all, after training 500,000 cavalry, Li Mu will become the most powerful person in the Song army, if Meng Kuo colludes with Song Qi to frame Li Mu, as a surrendered army, Li Mu and even the Tiger Ben army will not occupy any advantage.

The benefits offered by the empress are very tempting, but they are like poison wrapped in honey, and if they are not careful, the whole army of the Tiger Ben Army will be buried in the struggle for power and profit of the Song army.

Lin Shuying nodded, without any concealment, and said in a concise tone: "The problem that General Yan considers, the Song State does exist, I am trying to solve the problem of the Song State's military power being too concentrated, and a few days ago, I already have a detailed plan, so the general does not need to worry about this matter, and it will not become an obstacle for the Tiger Ben Army to defect to the Song State." ”

This matter was mentioned by Wang Lunyue and Murong Qiyan in Yan Kingdom, and after Lin Shuying learned about it, he returned to Song Kingdom and quickly started this matter, and discussed it with Jian Ye, Tian Xu, and Liu Zhuoya, and the matter probably had an eyebrow.

In person, Yan Wushuang once again mentioned the excessive concentration of military power in the Great Song Dynasty, indicating that many people expressed concern about the excessive concentration of military power in the Song army.

As a result, the Song State was stopped, which was enough to prove the seriousness of the matter and threaten the survival of the Song State.

Fortunately, after everyone's discussion, it was finally resolved.

Yan Wushuang smiled, still uneasy, and asked, "Empress, the last general dared to ask, how did the empress solve the matter of the concentration of military power in the hands of a few people in the Song army. ”

Military power is a major matter, usually generals will not easily divide the power in their hands, besides, the Song State is headed by the empress, which is more likely to be threatened.

The two of them are siblings, who can prove that Song Qi has no wolf ambitions?

Lin Shuying's weakening of Song Qi's military power will most likely cause the other party's unhappiness and suspicion, and how can he easily hand over the military power.

Hearing this, Lin Shuying's face was displeased, this matter was a confidential matter of the Song Kingdom, and it was too hasty to tell Yan Wushuang easily.

After thinking about it, he motioned to Liu Zhuoya, signaling the other party to reveal some content to Yan Wushuang, so as to dispel the doubts in the other party's heart.

After Liu Zhuoya comprehended the situation, he said bluntly: "General Yan, how Your Majesty is in charge of the military power of the Great Song Dynasty is a confidential and important task of the Song Kingdom, and I think the general can understand it, but Liu can tell the general that there are currently more than 800,000 troops in the Song Kingdom, and His Majesty has 300,000 troops.

At the beginning, when he returned to the Song Kingdom, in order to solve the matter of Song Qi's excessive military power, Lin Shuying transferred 100,000 troops under Song Qi to Kaifeng in the name of complimenting the Jingshi, replaced the generals loyal to Song Qi in the army with a thunderous momentum, and quickly installed generals loyal to him.

In order to avoid weakening the military power of the Song Dynasty and causing the Song Dynasty to be dissatisfied and resist, especially at the critical moment when the Song army attacked the Zheng State, if the Song Dynasty defected, it would completely destroy the unity of the Song State.

Lin Shuying sent someone to give Song Qi 5 million pieces of silver as compensation, and at the same time allowed Song Qi to expand his army by 150,000, in addition, once Song captured Luoyi, the imperial city of Zheng State, it would be divided into Song Qi's fiefdom.

After this battle, Lin Shuying had 100,000 tigers and wolves in his hands, and at the same time, he drew 50,000 troops from Mengkuo's army and recruited 150,000 new troops from various counties of the Song Kingdom, all of which were handed over to Liu Zhuoya for training.

These 300,000 troops may not be elite, but they seem to have become the largest force in the Song army, and Liu Zhuoya once held military power in Zhao State, and trained many new tiger troops for Zhao State, and has rich experience in military training.

Lin Shuying felt that when Song Qi and Meng Kuo were fighting outside, these 300,000 guards would become the most elite troops of the Song Kingdom in the training of Liuzhuo Cliff.

Now that the Tiger Ben Army is preparing to surrender to the Song State, Lin Shuying plans to recruit another 300,000 new soldiers, and train them into ironclad cavalry by Li Mu and other generals who are good at riding and archery.

Although Li Mu personally controls and is loyal to Lin Shuying, in fact, Lin Shuying will completely control the 300,000 ironclad cavalry, and at that time, he will have 600,000 foot cavalry in his hands, and the generals of the Song State will no longer be able to threaten his own throne.

Therefore, it is very important to recruit Li Mu.

After all, Li Mu led the Tiger Ben Army for the first time, and if he wanted to gain a foothold in the Song State, he could only be loyal to the empress, and in this matter, Lin Shuying also happened to use Li Mu's power to consolidate his position and ensure that after the weakening of the Song Dynasty's military power, the Song State could make a smooth transition.

Seeing that Yan Wushuang was silent, Lin Shuying's face gradually relaxed, and asked: "General Yan, can't Lord Liu's words still dispel the doubts in the general's heart, if the general still doesn't trust Song Guo and me, then there will be no need for us to continue the talks."

At this moment, Lin Shuying's expression was very gentle, but her tone became aggressive, she desperately hoped that the Tiger Ben Army would surrender to the Song State, but she did not allow Yan Wushuang to doubt the Song State and doubt her ability.

Besides, the Tiger Ben Army in the north and south are facing the problem of lack of food, Yan Wushuang does not dare to delay, even if there is a way to retreat to the Yan State, but if the current secret talks are spread out, Lin Feng may not continue to trust the Tiger Ben Army, and Li Mu and other generals.

Yan Wushuang was extremely embarrassed, he was indeed entangled in the issue of military power, and he was deeply jealous of Lin Shuying's mastery of 300,000 troops in just half a month, for fear that the matter of unloading the mill and killing the donkey would happen to the Tiger Ben Army.

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that he was doing too much, whether the Song State would do anything to the Tiger Ben Army in the future, at present, it was difficult to predict, not to mention, even if he did it in the future, there would be a general to deal with, and at present, he only needed to solve the matter of discussing with the Song State to surrender.

Clearing his throat, Yan Wushuang took a deep breath and said embarrassedly: "The empress has expressed enough sincerity, the Tiger Ben Army will switch to the Song State, and the general will definitely agree." However, at present, the Tiger Ben army is besieged by the Yan army, and even if they have the intention of serving the Song State, they cannot break through the layers of defense of the Yan army and go south smoothly.

In this matter, the last general was helpless, so he could only prepare to fight with the Yan army with all his strength to give the whole army a chance to transfer, and I don't know if the empress could help the tiger army escape from the tiger's mouth. “

Yan Wushuang didn't know that Li Mu already had a strategy for smoothly transferring the army, and at present, he only needed to determine whether the Song State would accept the Tiger Ben Army.

Lin Shuying was entangled in Yan Wushuang's proposal, if in the past, the Song army would directly march north to Yan State, divert the attention of Yan State, and create an opportunity for Li Mu and others to go south smoothly.

However, not long ago, Song and Yan had just met, and Yan gave up harming Song, and at this moment, secretly contacted Yan Wushuang, which broke the alliance between the two sides.

If they continue to send troops north to give the Tiger Ben army a chance to transfer, they may succeed in accepting the Tiger Ben army, and the alliance between Song and Yan will become completely empty talk.

The fact that the two sides united and marched south at the same time to march south into the southern vassal states would also be all in vain.

His thoughts were spinning rapidly, and Lin Shuying quickly made a suggestion, saying: "A few years ago, in order to divert the attention of the Song army, Emperor Yan lied that he had found the treasure of Tiangong in the Luoyi area of Zheng Guo. However, according to Emperor Yan's cunning, if things can't be done without leakage, most of them will arouse Emperor Yan's suspicions.

Of course, this plan failed, the Song army could only forcibly send troops to attack the Yan State, at that time, the Yan Emperor who was in the north would definitely send troops to the south, and at that time, the Tiger Ben army would move south, and the pressure would be reduced a lot. ”

At this time, Liu Zhuoya, who was sitting on the left, directly rejected Lin Shuying's suggestion, and said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, attacking Yan and rescuing the Tiger Ben army to the south will inevitably cause the Yan army to counterattack.

Weichen suggested that giving up the plan of forcibly attacking Yan and instead transferring the Song troops to the border between Song and Yan and making a feint attack on Yan would also cause the whole country of Yan to shake up, and the army would go south to defend Song, which would also be able to win the opportunity for the Tiger Army to go south.

When the Tiger Ben army successfully stepped into the territory of the Song State, His Majesty withdrew the troops stationed on the Song-Yan border, if Emperor Yan asked, he only needed to tell the other party that the Song generals had lost their way and made the right to stay on the border between the Song and Yan countries.

The Song State admitted its mistake, and the Yan State had no loss, even if Emperor Yan learned of the Song State's intentions in the future, it would not be good to directly tear his face and start a war with the Song State. ”
