Chapter 82 3 Drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle
Youzhou and Liaodong in the country of silk became a pot of porridge, and even Taiyuan was coerced inside, which made it difficult for Anton to protect Yang Lian.
Now that the situation in Goryeo has exhausted the family funds of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, if anything happens in the north, then Yang Lian can only withdraw troops from Busan, and even if he withdraws his troops, he may not have time to save the situation. What should I do? The only thing that can be discussed in front of him is Wang Hanxin, who was put under house arrest by himself.
After thinking about it, Yang Lian still told Wang Hanxin and asked him to come up with an idea. Wang Hanxin thought for a moment and said, "Lord Duhu, can you please invite someone over?" ”
Yang Lian hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”
"Du Wei He Jianyi."
"Okay, I'll send someone to invite you immediately." Yang Lian agreed repeatedly, and then ordered her subordinates to go and invite each other, and then said, "Does Wang Anyuan have any clever plans?" ”
Wang Hanxin smiled and said, "I'm not an immortal, and I can't scatter beans into soldiers to solve the crisis in that area, but it is still possible to win a relatively safe north for Lord Duhu." ”
"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”
"Your Excellency doesn't have to be polite. Next, please think about it, what is the purpose of this unusually seizure of so many cities in Liaodong? ”
Yang Lian muttered: "It is reasonable to say that Tuqi is not good at attacking cities, nor is he good at defense, and he should have no other intention than to loot these cities." ”
Wang Hanxin smiled: "My lord is right, but he is not right. In my opinion, this time, Tuqi's unusual behavior may be Abicheril's personal thoughts. He took these cities and intended to hold them for two purposes. First, the loss of Liaodong will greatly affect the morale of our army, and at the same time threaten the Andong Protectorate. Do the dying Goryeo a favor; Second, Abicil probably wants to try to occupy the actual territory of our country. Thus began to gradually eat the footsteps of our country. He had already figured out that the raids and harassments of the Turks would not shake the foundation of our country. Even if he achieves a great military victory, it will not shake the foundation of our country, but Tuqi may fall because of a defeat in a battle, or a great disaster. In this case, the deed is like walking on a rope hanging between two cliffs, a mistake will be doomed, but the cliff will not be shaken. Seeing this, Abicil knew that only by actually eating our territory piece by piece could he inflict substantial damage on our country, and he had to learn to take our cities and govern them. That's what he wants most. ”
Yang Lian nodded again and again after hearing this: "Yes, it is true, only this statement can explain the abnormal behavior of Tuqi." But. Can a nomadic country sit down and govern the country? ”
Wang Hanxin said with a smile: "Lord Mingjian, this is exactly what I will say next." Abiciellir thought well, but he ignored three downsides. First, he has this insight, but the nobles of the Tuqi do not necessarily have this insight, and they may still think of the set of robbing houses and robbing things and returning to the steppe to enjoy them, although they are loyal to the Great Khan, they may not understand what the Great Khan is thinking. Therefore, once you start to hold on, there will be problems within the contract; Second, Abicil only saw the strategic value of Liaodong and ignored the strategic situation of Tuqi itself. It is true that Liaodong is very important to our country, and without it, our country's strategic situation will change dramatically. Abiciel, however, ignores Turgie's own problems. If he occupies Liaodong, then he must leave enough troops to defend it, but Tuqi will also become a Paz Empire to the west. East to Liaodong, a large country that spans thousands of miles. With more than two-thirds of our borders on such a long stretch of territory, the defense capability of the Turgis itself will be weakened as a result. Perhaps it is because of the illusion that Tuqi has always been on the offensive and our country has always been on the defensive. The Turks have always believed that with the protection of the desert, it is difficult to be attacked by our country. However, no matter how strong the Tuqi is, the men he can really fight will not exceed 500,000, of which there are less than 200,000 young men who can really be called the elite division, and to defend the territory of tens of thousands of miles, no matter how strong the mobility of the Tuqi cavalry is, they will not be able to do it, so they will become stragglers in the country, and our country can take this opportunity to attack it frequently, if we can attract the main force of the Tuqi in Liaodong, this situation will be even more obvious; Thirdly, Abicherier's ability to capture many cities in Liaodong so smoothly this time was not only due to his 50,000 elite soldiers, but also to the tribes under his command who led the way for them. However, these tribes have always been our vassals, and they will serve him only because they are afraid of his soldiers, and they have to give in, and if our army can regain the advantage, then the soldiers of these tribes may become a beacon fire that will ignite at any time in the Tukchi army, and in turn burn the Tukit army to the ground. ”
Yang Lian frowned again after hearing this, and said: "What Wang Anyuan said is not bad, but these are all analyses of the strategic situation of the Tunqi and our country, and they have nothing to do with what Fang just said about maintaining the safety of the northern border of the Andong Protectorate." ”
Wang Hanxin winked at him and said with a smile: "Of course it matters." At present, most of the tribes in the northeastern part of Liao are coerced by Abicheril, but the Tieli and Sumo tribes in the northeast are not moved, and only superficially submit to them, which shows that they are observing their words. If we had given them the greater good at this time, their behavior would probably not have been so vacillating. ”
"Lord Wang means to buy them off from behind to attack Tuqi?" Yang Lian asked.
Wang Hanxin shook his head: "They don't dare to do this, so they won't agree." However, Yang Duhu asked to think about it, the young and middle-aged people of those tribes in the north have all gone south with Tuqi, and it is not a day or two for the Tieli Department and the Sumo Department to annex them, if they can take this opportunity to capture the women and children of those tribes, gold and silver treasures, wouldn't they be captured? Even if those tribes want to return to the army to rescue, they can't do it, and Tuqi is fighting against the Liaodong Army, and they can't manage so much, so which of those northern tribes has the heart to continue to stay in the Tuqi Army to fight? Their instability will only exacerbate the weakening of the defense capability of the Tunchi, and won't the Liaodong Army have a chance to take advantage of it? After this battle, the Tieli Department and the Sumo Department have been strengthened, while those tribes in the north have been ruined, and the grievances between them will become more and more entangled, which is also very beneficial to the rule of our country, not to mention the small punishment of these tribes who betrayed our dynasty, it can also play a role in warning other tribes, isn't it more than one stone? The war situation in Liaodong has changed, and Tuqi naturally has no time to look south, and the Andong Protectorate will be safe, I don't know what the adults want? ”
Yang Lian was overjoyed when she heard this, said hello a few times, and said, "Then Wang Anyuan invited He Duwei to come to prepare for him to be a lobbyist?" ”
Wang Hanxin smiled: "This person was borrowed by me from Liu Jingluo's envoy in Taiyuan, and he has the talent to adapt to the situation, and he is just in this position." (To be continued.) )
