Chapter 450: Countermeasures

p

For Wei Shuo, the biggest achievement is not how much lost ground has been regained.

Instead, after ten years, a well-functioning political system was created for Hexi.

The civil and military division system has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the Metropolitan Protectorate and the General's Mansion are in charge of political affairs and military affairs, and neither interferes with the other.

Unless there is a major accident, Wei Shuo will convene everyone and hold a joint military-political meeting.

In addition to the four important civil and military ministers of Zuo Changshi and Sima, only some of the directors and Cao were invited to participate.

On this day, dozens of high-ranking people from Hexi gathered in the conference hall and gathered together.

Everyone was still immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year's holiday, greeting each other and making jokes.

Just as everyone was talking, they heard a guard shouting outside the door.

"Most of them are protected!"

Everyone got up and saluted, only to see Wei Shuo walking out in good spirits.

He walked over to his seat and stood still, and saluted everyone in return, "Please be seated." ”

The crowd sat down again, and the hall fell silent for a moment.

Wei Shuo nodded to his secretary Lang Guo Yi and motioned for him to preside over the proceedings.

Guo Yi coughed lightly and said in a serious tone: "Everyone, everyone must know what happened in Jiankang. ”

"Although the death of the Son of Heaven is expected, it will have an adverse impact on Hexi."

"Today, most of the protectors are summoned to let everyone offer suggestions and suggestions, and I also invite you to speak freely."

At first, the chamber was very quiet, and everyone was sorting out their thoughts.

After a while, Wei Shuo glanced at Song Xuan and said with a smile: "I don't know what the body industry thinks about this?" ”

Song Miao owed Wei Shuo slightly, and turned to everyone: "My lord, the minister thinks that the violent death of the Son of Heaven is caused by the continuous accumulation of internal contradictions in the Southern Dynasty, and she will not return to calm because of this. ”

"On the contrary, without the suppression of the Son of Heaven, the accumulated contradictions in the Southern Dynasties will continue to erupt."

"Zuo Changshi's meaning is that the violent death of the Son of Heaven just kicked off the prelude to the Jiangdong riots?" Next to him, Zong Chang interjected and asked.

Song Miao nodded and said, "That's true!" ”

As Song Miao and Zong Chang took the lead in speaking, the atmosphere gradually became lively, and more people participated in the discussion.

"The minister also agrees with Zuo Changshi's proposal, in order to avoid greater losses, please ask the lord to quickly order the evacuation of personnel and materials from Jiangdong."

As soon as Cui Hong's voice fell, Jiang Ji said again: "In addition to the commercial impact, the minister believes that the Jiangdong Chaos has the greatest impact on Hebei. ”

"Hebei? Ting Gang felt that Jiangdong fell into civil strife, which would make Wei lose its containment? ”

"Yes!"

"Jiangdong is in chaos, and the Northern Wei Dynasty will have one less important counterbalance force, and Tuoba Jue will inevitably speed up the pace of southward movement."

"And this year, the center of gravity in Hexi is in Guanlong, how can it be possible to stop the Wei army from going south only by relying on the fragmented Houyan?!"

"Shhh...... That's a problem. In this regard, Wei Shuo frowned and felt quite troubled.

"My lord, if the minister has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not?"

When everyone heard this, they all turned around and looked, and it turned out to be the right chief Shi Cui Hao.

Cui Hao has always been resourceful, and since entering Hexi, he has repeatedly offered suggestions and suggestions, and everything he said and planned was successful, and he never had a target.

Seeing him open his mouth today, not only Wei Shuo himself was looking forward to it, but everyone else also quieted down, waiting for Cui Hao to speak.

"My lord, in terms of the current strength of Hexi, if Guanzhong and Hebei are taken care of, the bamboo basket will eventually be empty."

"Rather than this, it is better to go all out to win Guanzhong first when the strength is not enough."

"Of course, the minister's proposal is not to completely abandon Hebei and ignore it, and the 'plan to help Yan' should continue."

"Right now, isn't Sima going north to Liaodong?"

"As long as the two Yan in the north and south are united, even if they are unable to prevent Wei from encroaching on Hebei, they can at least delay Tuoba Jue's southward pace."

"And at present, Hexi is the most lacking of time, as long as there is a buffer for a period of time, when the major event in Guanzhong is over, won't the initiative return to Hexi?"

Hearing this, Wei Shuo smiled bitterly a few times and said, "This person, you really can't be too greedy!" ”

"I always want to take Guanzhong and Hebei in one fell swoop, but I ignore the lack of strength in Hexi itself."

"Bo Yuan is worthy of being a national soldier, and his plan is very thorough."

"That being the case, everyone is talking about how to fight this battle in Guanzhong in order to destroy Hou Qin in the shortest possible time?"

When it came to military deployment, everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to Wang Maide, Duan Ye, Kuai En and other generals next to them.

Wang Maide saw that the two major Simas on the left and right were not there, and he, as the highest military office in the military, should speak.

Entering Guanzhong in the east is a major strategic plan of Hexi, and for a long time, Hexi has been working hard to achieve this goal.

In private, the military division did not know how many battle plans had been formulated, but every time they gave up because the time was not ripe.

After years of continuous improvement, the entry plan has almost reached the most perfect step, waiting for the day of its debut.

After receiving the signal from Daduhu, Wang Maide got up and walked to the map, picked up the bamboo pole and introduced it.

"Everyone, please see, as the Hexi Army has successively taken Anding and Shangjun, the entire Guanzhong has been surrounded by our army on all sides."

"Once the war starts, the Hexi Army will attack from the northeast, northwest, and west at the same time."

"As a result, Hou Qin will be besieged from all sides, so that they will not be able to take care of each other."

"Well, the army of Mount Tai is overwhelming, and it can indeed destroy Hou Qin in one fell swoop, but isn't this too rigid?"

In the face of objections, Wang Maide said unhurriedly: "It's safer to do this." ”

"However, as I said just now, the tactics are too rigid, and it is easy for our army to fall into the battle for one city and one place."

"Therefore, what I said above is just a feint to attract the attention of Hou Qin, and the real killing move is on the Eastern Front."

"The Eastern Front? Hedong? ”

Next, Wang Maide gave a detailed introduction to the battle plan to everyone, and everyone's eyes were full of brilliance.

……

After everyone left, Wei Shuo left Cui Hao and Song Miao behind.

Speaking of which, he was still a little worried about the situation in Hebei, and wanted to make friends with the two important ministers again.

"The wind and rain are coming!"

After sighing, Wei Shuo glanced at the two of them, and said with bitterness: "Once Emperor Xiaowu dies, Jiangdong is probably not far from chaos!" ”

"The scout is coming, Wang Gong, Huan Xuan, Heavenly Master Dao and other forces are all preparing for war in full swing."

"And Jiangdong is in chaos, without the deterrence of the Great Jin, Tuoba Jue will definitely not hold back again."

"The situation in Hebei will inevitably develop in an unfavorable direction to Hexi."

"But right now, Hexi can't give up Guanzhong, which is at his fingertips, to forcibly intervene in Hebei."

"Both of them are far-reaching and resourceful, and they say, if the situation in Hebei collapses, where should Hexi go in the future?"

Cui Hao pinched his chin and said, "Lord, if there is no accident, after the death of the Son of Heaven, the power of the Southern Dynasty will inevitably retreat to the south." ”

"In this way, the imperial court's control over the Qingyan area will be greatly weakened."

"And once the situation in Hebei collapses, the lord said, where will the remnants of Houyan flee to when they are cornered?"

"Qing Xu?" Wei Shuo's heart moved.

"That's right! It was Qingxu. ”

"If the Southern Dynasty is stable, Murong Yu's sins will naturally not be able to succeed."

"But when Jiangdong is beaten up and down into a pot of porridge, it is difficult to guarantee that Murong De and others will not be separated from Qingxu."

"At that time, Hexi has taken Guanlong, and if there is no containment, you can take advantage of the Southern Dynasty's self-care, send troops in the name of recovering the lost territory, and expand your power to the sea in one fell swoop."

"Isn't the lord always complaining that there is no place to develop a sailor, and when he takes Qingzhou, he is afraid that he will not be able to find a suitable port?"

"Lord, Bo Yuan's words are very good. Also, let's not forget Shudi! ”

"As early as the year before last, when Niu Shou led the displaced people to return, he deliberately pointed out that Shu was unstable and there were many contradictions on all sides."

"As soon as Zi dies today, turmoil will inevitably break out in Shuzhong."

"If it is done properly, Hexi Dang is expected to bring Shu into control."

Cui and Song's analysis can be regarded as talking about Wei Shuo's heart, which made him sweep away the haze in his heart.

And Cui Hao was worried that Wei Shuo would advance, so he reminded again and again: "The lord must not be in a hurry, the top priority at the moment is to take Guanzhong first." ”

"Well, don't worry, Bo Yuan, Shuo knows it."

"After the beginning of spring, Hexi will start a war to destroy Qin."

After comforting Cui Hao, Wei Shuo suddenly patted his head and said, "Oops, I almost forgot, how to perform on the Jiangdong side?" ”

Song Miao pondered for a while: "The lord is a foreign vassal prince, it is not appropriate to intervene too much in the dispute between the court and China, the wording should be neutral, even to the king of Huiji, Sima Daozi, to express deference and support." ”

"In order to form a good relationship with all parties, it is convenient to go to Shu in the southwest of Hexi or enter Qingqi in the east in the future."

"In addition, the thread of Princess Jinling should also be grasped, although it is not used now, it will be difficult to say in the future."
