Chapter 976: Control and Balance

PS: 11th National Day, everyone has to play, but Tiandao still has to continue to work hard at home to code words, for the sake of this, taking advantage of the double monthly pass period, cheeky to ask for a monthly pass and subscription, grateful.

Wang Shichong's eyes rolled, and he thought about it, he laughed and said: "It's just that in this way, it doesn't seem that Yuan Taizuo will have much loss, according to what you say, he only needs to clear the field and defend the city, as long as the city is not broken, his people will not have much loss, at most eat some food, and the Sui army will lose elite troops, if the vitality is greatly damaged, this Yuan Taizuo may take the opportunity to expand to the west of the Liao River, and even attack the land of Youzhou and Jizhou in the pass, then his strength will rise sharply, I am above your king. ”

Yizhi Wende's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Impossible, even if he wins, it will be a miserable victory, how can he have the strength to counterattack the Sui Dynasty again?" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Brother Yizhi, it's not that you haven't been to the Sui Dynasty, you have also seen that the Sui Dynasty has been ruined because of the tyrannical expropriation everywhere, the people are not happy, and the Guanxi is already dilapidated, and the place where the Grand Canal was dug, from the Jiangnan region to the Central Plains, and then to the land of Qilu and Hebei, is full of resentment, and corpses are everywhere." ”

"This time, in order to conquer your Goguryeo, a million troops were dispatched, and the people and servants along the way were even more doubled, such tyranny has exceeded the ability of the people of the Sui Dynasty to bear, to tell you the truth, now many areas where the Sui Dynasty's ruling power is weak, there are already thieves swarming, but everyone knows that the millions of the Sui army are still there, and one day they will defeat and return to China, so they don't dare to make a big splash, just a few hundred people a share. More than 1,000 people occupied the mountain as kings. At best, it can only be regarded as a small fight. ”

"But if the Sui army is defeated in Liaodong. The million-strong army was almost completely lost or scattered. That's different. If it is a total loss, then all places will lose the power to suppress the bandits, and it is inevitable that the thieves in some places will directly pull up the pole to overthrow the Sui Dynasty, and the people everywhere will definitely respond when they see that the garrison is insufficient, and then the Sui Dynasty has no choice but to let the local garrison suppress it, and then the soldiers in which place will leave. There will be an emptiness, and a riot will follow, and it will be like a spark that will eventually form a prairie fire, and it will be out of control. ”

"When you founded Goguryeo, it was to take advantage of the chaos in the world after Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and the land of Liaodong was originally a remote area ruled by the Han Dynasty, and you had to rely on the supply and military suppression of the Central Plains in peacetime, and wait for the Central Plains to be in chaos. The defenders in these places withdrew to the Central Plains to quell the rebellion, and the local powerful forces would stand on their own. The last time you Goguryeo took advantage of the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty to establish a country, aren't you afraid that the land of western Liaoxi will also repeat the old things of your Goguryeo, and after losing the army to suppress it, it will be seized by Nayuan Taizuo? ”

Ezhi Wende's face became more and more solemn, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said, "Then what can you do to make Yuan Taizuo unable to develop his own power?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "This requires Yuan Taizuo not only to be exhausted when he finally defends the city, but also to have a large-scale field battle with the Sui army before him, and he has suffered heavy losses, especially the fierce cavalry of those servants, either scattered or killed, so that he is forced to turn to the defense of the city, and even if he wins in the end, he is unable to attack the Liaoxi region of the Sui Dynasty, and can only succumb to the will of your king and allow the army of his headquarters to garrison Liaodong, I think this is the greatest benefit of your Goguryeo royal family, you western Fusa." , you can also garrison in the name of letting your army in the west have a foothold in Liaodong, and over time it will become your family's territory, Brother Yizhi, such a result is what you want. ”

Yizhi Wende's eyes were blazing, and he said in a deep voice: "General Wang, when did you become so planning for others?" It's not like the peerless hero in my impression anymore. You say it's all for my sake, so what do you get? ”

Wang Shichong laughed, his eyes flashed: "What I got is that there is a chance for me to compete for the Great Sui River!" ”

Ezhi Wende stepped forward and asked, "What do you mean by this, please make it clearer." ”

Wang Shichong's tone was sonorous and resolute: "The current Great Sui, in fact, all the great families and people of insight have realized that the qi is about to run out, even if Yang Guang captures your Goguryeo, it is bound to garrison this million army in Goguryeo for a long time, and it is impossible to withdraw to the country, and in order to provide the supplies and grain and grass of the million army, it will only increase the tax burden in the country, so that the people who can't afford it will be even more unable to live, so they can only take risks, once the nationwide civil uprising occurs, the Sui Dynasty will die." ”

Ezhi Wende said in a deep voice: "Isn't this the result you wanted? You have been planning for many years, colluding with the Turks, and being friends with us, don't you just want the Great Sui to run out of vitality for foreign wars and finally perish? Why did you stop when this plan was going to succeed? ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "What I pursue is not the Great Sui to lose a million male soldiers all of a sudden, and then pull the flag to stand on his own like those bandits, I Wang Shichong is not a nobleman, lack of popularity, even if the Yang family of the Sui Dynasty perished, the hearts of the people in the world are also heart-to-heart families, there are not many people who come to me, and then my best result can only be to find a hero to take refuge in, continue to be a courtier, and after he calms down the world, I am afraid that this person will not tolerate me, a black-bellied minister, even if he doesn't want my life, I have to live in fear, like that." , I might as well keep Yang Guang now, at least he trusts me now! ”

Yizhi Wende laughed: "I see, General Wang, like me, is also a person who seeks his life." Okay, you go on, then how far do you have to go before you are willing to raise an army against the Sui? You can't protect Yang Guang for the rest of your life. ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "I want Yang Guang to suffer heavy losses in Liaodong, but he can't be wiped out, most of the army can't be wiped out, and he can't be dispersed, and he must retreat to the Central Plains in an orderly manner." ”

Otozhi Wende said "oh": "Why is that?" ”

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "If the whole army is annihilated, as I said just now, the Central Plains will inevitably rise strong, and the powerful family will immediately replace Sui Yang, and I will not be able to win the world." If it is a rout, it will be even worse, these people become deserters, do not dare to return to their hometowns, can only occupy the mountains in groups, become thieves, and finally take refuge in the famous nobles of the Guanlong family, I will have no fun. ”

Yizhi Wende nodded: "I understand, but Yang Guang went back with a large army, what good would you have?" And with Yang Guang's personality, if he didn't lose most of the troops, how could he be willing to withdraw his troops? (To be continued......)
