At this point, Cai Dao can also understand that it is too difficult for the generals of the Great Song Dynasty.

The generals led the troops outside, and the civil officials behind them were under the control of grain and grass, and there were eunuchs or civil officials around them as supervisors, monitoring their every move.

A civil servant can be promoted after a term of office of at least three years. And if the military attache does not have a large-scale war, it will take six years to give birth to the first order.

If a military general wins a big battle, he must worry about whether he is a master of high merit, and if he loses the battle, the consequences will not be mentioned. For example, in the Battle of Sanchuankou, Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun, the generals who rescued Yanzhou on the orders of civil officials, were besieged by heavy Western Xia troops halfway, and no one was able to relieve them this time. Liu Ping, who would rather die than surrender, was defeated and captured.

On the contrary, Huang Dehe, who escaped, was falsely accused of being a demoted general, if Pang Ji didn't understand right and wrong, the family of this famous general who was killed would have suffered.

Moreover, Liu Ping, like Wang Shao later, was born as a jinshi and first. Because of his courage and skill, later generations forgot his identity.

The generals fought for the life and death of the imperial court, and the merit was not merit, but it was excessive. Military generals fight wars, and they have to fight according to the formation map drawn by the emperor and privy envoys in the capital, such an aggressive thing, it is no wonder that the Great Song Dynasty has been repeatedly bullied by the surrounding small countries.

Cai Dao waited for a moment for everyone to digest the previous information, and then continued: "It seems that Grandpa Cao, you all understand the meaning. Yes, if any of you can eat the largest islands alone, it is taboo that you will establish a kingdom of your family on those islands, and it is not a dream for you to become the king of a country. His Majesty is happy to see it happen.

On the one hand, it can ease the relationship of mutual distrust and mutual suspicion between officials and generals. On the other hand, you don't really want your descendants to continue to fall like the Yang family, this time, it is a very rare and good opportunity for you to exercise your children's abilities.

Thinking about the Yang family, the three generations are famous, but now? Since the death of Yang Wenguanggong, among the descendants of the Yang family, there are no more good talents! It's sad and lamentable! At this point, Cai Dao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. Of course, this is what he pretended.

went to war for the official family, in fact, the victory or defeat had little to do with these generals in the end. And this expedition to the Southern Islands, the person who is doing it died on the ship, and it is also for their family to fight and continue their lives!

If people are not for themselves, they will be destroyed by heaven and earth, and if they are for themselves, they will not be afraid even if they are destroyed by heaven and earth.

"Moreover, the elders here don't have to worry that they don't have experience in this area, but they have to be the first bird. Poor Dao has decided to advise the official family, and Poor Dao will gather people and horses, personally lead the army to fight the vanguard, destroy the Great Yue Kingdom, and avenge the hundreds of thousands of people on the West Guangnan Road. Guo Kuigong's success fell short that time, and he only killed the prince of Da Yue Kingdom, and the culprits Li Qiande and Li Changjie were not ambushed? Cai Dao said his plan in public at this time, just to dispel the concerns of these people.

No, some people are not satisfied, and they don't understand the significance of Cai Dao's expedition to Dayue at all, Cao Ping doubted: "You kid, you are used to pulling things around." What does the conquest of Da Yue have to do with the capture of islands in the South China Sea? ”

Cai Daogang wanted to explain, but Dean interjected and asked, "Daoist Cai, do you want to directly attack the Shenglong Mansion by sea?" ”

"Yes, I'm sure there are not many of you here who can think of this. In my Great Song Dynasty, when I conquered the Great Yue Kingdom and the rebellion against the barbarians on the West Guangnan Road over the years, I would select and send forbidden troops from Bianliang City to conquer them. The soldiers in the north were not adapted to the water, soil and climate of the south, and they traveled long distances. Therefore, in the large army, very few people died on the battlefield, and more than half of the officers and soldiers died of diseases such as water and soil, hot weather, and plague.

This also includes the same when Di Shumi and Yang Wenguanggong went to the south to quell Nong Zhigao's rebellion. However, if you go directly to Thang Long City by sea, you can capture the upper echelons of the entire Dayue Kingdom. Although the sea route is bumpy, it is much more convenient than taking so many mountains and mountains on the West Guangnan Road, not to mention, if you take the sea route, you can also solve this war very quickly.

Moreover, more importantly, the official family does not need to send a single soldier this time, but only needs to send an important minister to serve in the Quang Nam West Road, and recruit ordinary soldiers and warriors of various barbarian tribes in the local area of the Quang Nam West Road, and make a gesture of attacking the Great Yue Kingdom by land. To attract their attention, as long as you keep your passes, it doesn't hurt to give up some territory in the early days. The main force of the siege is recruited by the poor road, and the grain and grass are also solved by the poor road itself.

At the end of the day, you only need to send the healthy and potential children of your family to go out with hundreds of tribes with the poor road, and those who are willing to participate in the war. After the destruction of the Great Yue Kingdom, the poor Dao would ask the officials for credit, and those who did not want to participate could also learn and accumulate experience on the sidelines. Ladies and gentlemen, what is this suggestion from the poor road? After Cai Dao finished speaking, he began to carefully observe the expressions of these family heads on the third floor.

It's a pity that these people are all old oilmen in the officialdom, even if Cai Dao is a human being, but his previous level is too low, and in terms of controlling facial expressions and his emotions, he is naturally inferior to these old guys opposite.

After hearing this, Di Yong's eyes lit up, and he wiped the long hair under his chin, and said with a smile: "Little guy, we adults are not dead yet!" How can it be your turn to lead troops to war! What's more, this is still a war to destroy the country. I am the first emperor's favorite general, if I can destroy the Great Yue Kingdom this time, I will be ashamed of the snow, even if I die on the battlefield, I can also comfort the heroic soul of the first emperor. In this war, I am the one who will not give in, so I will enter the palace and ask the official family for help. ”

As soon as the words fell, Di Yongren had already come to the staircase on the third floor.

No one else has figured out why Di Yong did this.

But Cai Dao and Uncle Cao Guo knew very well in their hearts.

Di Yong is trying to steal the credit!

That's right, with the advantages of geography and weather, Dayue is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Cai Dao is now from another angle, turning passive into active, using sea channels, and in an instant, the two advantages of Dayue are in vain.

If we talk about fighting on the plains and mountains, the Great Song army is really inferior to the armies of the Great Yue Kingdom, the Western Xia Kingdom and the Great Liao Kingdom. But compared to the ability to defend and siege cities, the army of the Great Song Kingdom in this era is the best in the world.

The three enemies on the border of the Great Song Dynasty are said to be the most vulnerable. Although its geographical advantages and weather advantages are not worse than those of the Western Xia Kingdom, when it comes to the quality of the soldiers, it is too much worse.

Thang Long City, even if there is no big cylinder provided by Cai Dao to assist in the siege, even if Di Yong is just an extremely mediocre general, it is ten out of ten to win Thang Long City.

If this merit is not contested now, will it be necessary to wait until the official family frees up their hands to conquer the Western Xia Kingdom, and then take the merit of controversing?

Then it's not about fighting for merit, it's about sending people to death.

Even Uncle Cao Guo, who has always thought he knows Di Yong, secretly sighed, Di Qing's mediocre son, it is really rare to be able to think of fighting for this merit!

For others to fight for this credit, Cai Dao has nothing to do, his suggestion this time is just interested in destroying the Great Yue Kingdom. The southern islands are densely forested and have not been fully developed even in later generations.

In this era, it is impossible to talk about occupying the entire island, this is the trap in Cai Dao's words, but in this era, how can other people know the details of those islands?

Cai Dao didn't stop it, so after the heads of the families on the third floor woke up, they wanted to stop Di Yong, who had already ridden away, because the horse that Di Yong was riding at this time was also one of the two BMW horses that Cai Dao bought back from the Wa Kingdom and gave to Di An.

Di Yong left suddenly, and the heads of the families present had no desire to continue talking. Because the basic plan of this negotiation has been determined, the remaining details are what these family owners and officials have done before.

The next thing is that these family heads go to negotiate with the officials sent by the official family, and Cai Dao no longer gets involved.

With a good start, after that, the negotiations between Cai Dao and Zongzheng, as well as other important members of the imperial family, went more smoothly.

Compared with those warrior families, in fact, the children of the royal family are more urgent about this matter.

The children of the military generals' families, if they are really talented, always have the opportunity to lead the troops to fight and sit on one side.

But these royal children are miserable.

The royal family surnamed Zhao was basically confined in Bianliang City, although their personal freedom was not restricted, but if they wanted to leave Bianliang City and travel around, they had to ask for permission from the official family. Moreover, the land in the hands of the royal family was basically concentrated in the Gyeonggi area, as well as some surrounding areas, and the scope was not extensive, and other sources of income, that is, the annual rewards of the official family and the income from shops.

Now, Cai Dao not only broadened the horizons of Zongzheng and the representatives of the imperial family, but also gave them a chance to completely break free from the shackles of themselves and the entire family.
