Chapter 694: Decision to Expedition
"Huh? Your Majesty, just write these six words? Pei Qian was stunned when he heard Liu He's words, and asked Liu He.
But seeing Liu He nodded, he said: "Just these six words, although they are simple, they are enough to express my meaning." By the way, what is the situation of the battle on all sides of our army? Although the generals of our army are not good, the opponent is not simple, plus they have been planning for a long time, I'm afraid we will suffer some small losses, right? ”
Pei Qian nodded and said, "What Your Majesty said is not it?" Our army has suffered a very difficult test this time, first of all, the Andong Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, which can be said to bear the brunt of the situation, the situation is extremely bad, because only one county in Liaodong has suffered from the joint attack of the five major tribes of Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, Jurchen, and Xianbei, all of which are good at cavalry combat, and a total of 200,000 troops are concentrated, and the momentum is very strong, their commander is the Tuoba Tao of the Xianbei Tuoba Department, and the generals under his command are Goguryeo's Eulzhi Wendeok, Yuangai Suwen, Gao Xianzhi and others, Baekje's Hei Tooth Changzhi, Kim Yu Shin and others, Silla's Seondeok Queen Kim Deman, Jiebo and others, these forces are actually not strong, but Jurchen and Xianbei are different. ”
Pei Qian took out a note from his sleeve and said to Liu He: "There are too many generals under their command, only the Jurchen Wanyan Department has Wanyan Aguta, Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Zongxiong, Wanyan Chang, Wanyan Gao, Wanyan Heda, Wanyan Tuhesu, Wanyan Lou Room, Wanyan Hulu, Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Xi Gunai, Wanyan Xiang, Wanyan Yi and dozens of others, as well as Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, Dolgon, Fulin, Aobai, Xuanye, Qianli, Agui, Duoduo, Nian Qianyao and other famous generals have dozens of people, as well as the most powerful Xianbei, only the Tuoba Department has Tuoba Tao, Tuoba Hong, Tuoba Hong, He Basheng, He Bayue, Tuoba Xin (Yuan Xin), Diao Yong, Tuoba Tianmu (Yuan Tianmu), Er Zhurong, Hou Mo Chen Chong and other civil and military talents dozens, Murong Department has Murong Hao, Murong Chui, Murong Ke, Murong Baiyao and other known as the best generals in Xianbei, Yuwen Department also has Yuwentai, Yuwen Jue, Yu Wenxian, Yuwen Hu, Yuwen Yong, Dugu Xin, Yu Wenhua and other civil and military generals, In this way, this army has more than 100 famous and surnamed military generals, plus 200,000 cavalry, it is indeed a strong enemy of General Zilong, fortunately, General Zilong knows that the enemy army is strong, and at present, he is only guarding the camp and not fighting with the other party, so although thousands of soldiers and horses were lost at the beginning, the situation is now stable. ”
"What about the rest of the battlefield?" Liu He knew that Zhao Yun was an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, plus he had Tian Yu, Pang Tong, Ding Feng, Xian Yufu and other civil and military generals under his command, although the enemy army pressed the border, he could hold it as much as he could, and there was no problem in holding it for a year and a half, so he was not worried about here, but other battlefields may not be able to hold on.
I saw Pei Qian said: "Zhou Dadu Governor led the army and the army of the Wa State in Yizhou several battles, relying on Zhou Tai's and the Vulcan skills of the Zhou Da Dudu, successfully resisted the frontal attack of the enemy, but the Wa people divided the army into more than a dozen troops, and launched an attack on the coastal states and counties, although the Zhou Dadu Governor organized resistance, it was difficult to receive immediate results, so he asked for help from the Ministry of War, and Wei Chen then ordered the military leaders of the coastal states and counties to organize the people to resist, and now the two sides are also in a stalemate, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to distinguish the winner in a short time. Southern Xinjiang is just an invasion of some small miscellaneous soldiers in Rinan County and Songtsen Gampo, the leader of the Qiang nationality, and the total number of troops is only 60,000. The northwest region is the Khitan Department, the Mongolian Department, the Xiongnu Department and the attack of the Qian, although their army is elite, but the number is not large, and it is not enough to fear, General Wei Yan can resist it, but the general Meng Qi in the west has repeatedly lost battles, this is mainly due to the Turkic Jieli Khan and the leader of the Qiang people in the western Xinjiang Li Yuanhao's more than 100,000 troops combined, occupying Wuwei County, cutting off the Silk Road, which made the four towns of Hexi lose contact with our Han Dynasty, and the imperial court lost more than 2,000 miles of border defense......"
"What? The war situation in Western Xinjiang is so bad? Liu He was deeply shocked when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "The Silk Road involves the trade exchanges between my Han and the western countries, and it is the most important commercial lifeline of my Han Dynasty, and it must not be cut off here, and we must find a way to take it back, Ma Mengqi is the world's fierce general, but the wisdom is slightly insufficient, and the defeat of the enemy is inevitable, so it seems that if you want to recapture the four towns of Hexi and even the entire Western Regions, our army must launch a counterattack with the momentum of thunder, so let's do it, you issue an order, three days later, I will drive the expedition in person, led an army of 30,000 and rushed to the aid of Ma Chao, with the deputy generals Xu Huang, Li Yan, Li Tong, Zhang Ren, and Zhang Xiu, and the strategists Xun You, Jia Xu, Liu Ye, and Lu Su; In addition, I am also ready to worship Kong Ming as the generalissimo of the Northwest Army, and supervise the military forces in the northwest, and the deputy generals under my command will be Zhang Fei, Zhang He, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zang Ba, Pang De, Ma Dai and others, leading an army of 100,000 to aid Wei Yan, and ordering Lu Bu to gather a large army and be ready to support Wei Yan at any time......"
"Huh? Lord, this, although General Ma Mengqi of Western Xinjiang lost, there is no need for His Majesty to drive in person, right? Just sending General Xu Huang is enough to stabilize the situation, as for the northwest, the advantage is still on our side today, there is no need to send so many people, right? Moreover, the lord even sent Kong Ming to go, coupled with those powerful generals under his command, and General Lu Bu is ready at any time, this kind of battle, I'm afraid it's only a little bit worse than His Majesty's personal conquest, right? Obviously, our army has the advantage, but Your Majesty has such a layout, is there any deep meaning in it? ”
Seeing Pei Qian's face full of doubts, Liu He Zhengse said: "Aiqing doesn't know, the war situation in Western Xinjiang is related to the trade road of my Han Dynasty, and it must be unblocked as soon as possible, otherwise once blocked, it will not be as prosperous as before for decades, and Li Yuanhao and Jieli Khan are very human, it is difficult for ordinary people to resist, even if they resist, because my purpose is to completely eliminate these two forces, as for the northwest, I dare to say so, even if I send such a luxurious lineup, I can only resist the enemy's attack and want to counterattack, That's no chance of winning, you don't know at all, the enemy army is terrible, the Xiongnu, Khitan and the Qian, but Genghis Khan of Mongolia is definitely a feared opponent, even if it is me, I must deal with it seriously. ”
"That man is so terrible? Also, how did Your Majesty know that the man was terrible? What kind of Genghis Khan is this, Wechen has never heard of it before, and His Majesty has never heard of it, right? Why is he so familiar with him? ”
Pei Qian looked puzzled and asked Liu He.
