Chapter Seventy-Three: Mutual Calculations
readx;
Since the sixteen states of Yanyun were ceded to the Liao State, countless people with lofty ideals have been working hard to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, throwing their heads and spilling their blood, but they have not succeeded. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info To this day, the sixteen states of Yanyun are still in the hands of foreign races, which is sad.
This matter, as long as it is a Chinese person, is thinking about it and has not forgotten it at any time. According to Wu Ji's plan, after defeating Zhuozhou, it will be the core of the land of Yanyun, Youzhou, if you don't recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, no one will be reconciled.
Moreover, according to Wu Ji's plan, Yelu Hongji will counterattack, and the two armies will fight a big battle under the city of Zhuozhou. After the Song army seized Zhuozhou, it would rely on it to fight with the Liao army in Zhuozhou.
Youzhou is the core of the sixteen states of Yanyun, if Youzhou is recovered, the sixteen states of Yanyun are basically recovered. Even if it has not yet been recovered, it is only a matter of time.
It can be said that Wu Ji's plan is not only to defeat the Liao army and survive the current difficulties, but also an excellent opportunity to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.
Wang Shao asked, his eyes were shining, like a fierce scream above the nine heavens, staring at Wu Ji deadly.
"This ...... I wanted to say yes, but I had to tell the truth, I didn't know. Wu Ji groaned for a while, and then said slowly.
"You don't know?" Wang Shao was particularly surprised: "Brother Wu, what are you talking about?" It's all hit Zhuozhou, you still can't know if you can take Youzhou? ”
"Wang Shumi, this matter is not up to you and me, nor is it the official family that has the final say, let alone Yelu Hongji, it has to be decided by the Western soldiers." Wu Ji thought for a while, and then said: "You have to think like this, no matter how well we fight, if the Western soldiers don't fight well, and give the Western Xia all the way, can we still recover the land of Yanyun?" ”
"That's right!" Wang Shao pondered for a long time.
Wu Ji is not wrong, it will be the Western soldiers who will decide the situation, and it will be the situation in Shaanzhou. You must know that the next battle will be the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" carried out by the Song, Liao, and Western Xia Kingdoms.
Liao and Western Xia will unite to deal with the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty will face two fronts, even if one front is fought well, the other front is not fought well, and it will suffer a heavy defeat, the impact on the entire situation is very huge, and it can even be said that the results of the other front will be wiped out.
Xixia is determined to win Guanzhong, and after waiting for decades for the opportunity to appear, Xixia will definitely do its best, and the elite of Xixia will do their best to fight in Shaanzhou. Although the Western soldiers are known as the elite of the world, whether they can stop the elite of the Western Xia is still two words. Moreover, the Western Xia was condescending and geographically advantageous, which was extremely unfavorable to the Song Dynasty.
If Shaanzhou lost the battle and suffered a crushing defeat, the Western Xia army went straight to Guanzhong and captured Guanzhong, which would be a disaster and a political earthquake for the Song Dynasty. The consequences are quite serious, Wang Anshi's resignation, the premature death of the new law is secondary, Wang Shao, Wu Ji, these generals of the main battle faction will definitely punish the crime, this is not too important things.
The most serious thing is that it is possible that Song Shenzong will be abolished because of this.
As long as this situation occurs, no matter how well the north fights, even if Wu Ji and them fight under Youzhou City, or even take Youzhou back, those opposition parties in the DPRK and China will also find many excuses to erase Wu Ji's credit, and if Empress Dowager Cao intervenes from it, no one can say whether Song Shenzong's throne can be kept.
Therefore, in the final analysis, the key point of this battlefield is in Shaanzhou. If Shaanzhou fights well, Wu Ji and they will have no worries, and they can completely let go of the fight, attack Youzhou, and recover the land of Yanyun.
If Western Xia did not fight well, in order to stabilize the situation, Song Shenzong had to transfer troops from the north to Shaanzhou. In this way, no matter how good the results Wu Ji and the others achieve, they may all come to naught.
"Hey!" Wang Shao sighed and said unwillingly: "Hengshan! If Yokoyama is in hand, how can there be such concerns, everything is not afraid. ”
Hengshan is a natural hazard, and whoever controls Hengshan will have the initiative. Although the Song Dynasty has always wanted to seize Hengshan and lock the Western Xia in the northwest plateau, it has never succeeded.
The Western Xia controlled Hengshan, which meant that the Western Xia had the initiative, and could attack and retreat, advance and retreat freely, and the Western Xia could completely rely on this convenience to create the greatest trouble for the Song Dynasty.
"Yes! Very unwilling! Wu Ji couldn't help nodding and said, "If we have a hard fight with Yelu Hongji, and the Western soldiers lose the battle, we will have to divide our troops and go to Western Xia, in that case, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to us." ”
Wang Shao sighed and said nothing.
"Maybe it's not as bad as I thought, and maybe it's going to turn around." Wu Ji comforted Wang Shao and said: "We will not transfer Western soldiers, and then take this opportunity to set up an ambush and give Western Xia a ruthless blow, maybe there will be good news." ”
"Brother Wu, your idea is very good, but you don't understand the situation in Shaanzhou." Wang Shao couldn't help but shake his head and said: "The troops of Shaanzhou are scattered, there is no general to command, mainly the Yao family, and there are several armies, they are scattered, they can't coordinate, they can't help each other, they fight for each other, and it's easy for the Western Xia to be broken!" ”
The troops are scattered, they are not coordinated with each other, and they can't help each other, this is a taboo for soldiers, Wu Ji was shocked when he heard it, and said: "Can't the imperial court send a general to lead the armies?" ”
"Brother Wu, you don't know anything about Shaanzhou, so you said that. It's not that the officials don't want to, but they can't help it. Wang Shao couldn't help shaking his head and said: "The northern part of Shaanzhou is mountainous, the terrain is complex, the roads are rugged, the traffic is extremely inconvenient, and the military orders are transmitted slowly. Even if there is a general in command, it is difficult to coordinate and help each other, so the imperial court can only hand over the western soldiers to each family to command, which is no way. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Shao sighed and said, "This is completely different from the north. Although there are mountains in the north, compared to Shaanzhou, it is incomparable. Therefore, the imperial court can send a general to the north, but not in Shaanzhou. ”
Wang Shao is very familiar with the situation in Shaanxi, he is right, there are many mountains in northern Shaanxi, the terrain is complex, not to mention in the Song Dynasty, where information is not developed, even in modern times, it is not so easy to fight. In the War of Liberation, the Northwest Field Army led by General Peng Da was only more than 20,000 people, but it fought with Hu Zongnan's more than 200,000 elites, and Hu Zongnan lost his temper, the reason is that General Peng took advantage of these terrains, drilled ravines, and jumped out to fight hard whenever he had the opportunity.
"In this way, we can only hope for the good luck of the western soldiers in Shaanxi." Wu Ji has nothing to say, this is a fact, no matter how talented a general is, it may not be able to be redeemed if he puts it there.
"That's all there is to it." Wang Shao was very worried: "If Western Xia concentrates its forces, sets up ambushes, and breaks through each other, the situation is really difficult to say." ”
"In this case, there will not be too much time left for us, and as soon as we start fighting, we must be fierce and ruthless, and achieve the greatest results in the shortest possible time." Wu Ji pondered for a long time and came to a conclusion.
"That's all there is to it!" Wang Shao nodded in agreement.
The situation in Shaanzhou is difficult to control, and no one can say whether it is good or bad. The sooner the war in the north is ended, the best means are achieved. In this way, it has increased the pressure on Wu Ji and them.
"Brother Wu, this matter is too important, I won't write a chapter for the official family, I will go back to Bianjing, meet the official family, and report the situation to the face. The matter here will be handed over to Brother Wu, and I will rush back as soon as possible. "This matter is too important, if you play the chapter, Song Shenzong may not approve their plan, it is better for Wang Shao to return to Bianjing once.
Of course, Wu Ji will not stop this matter, and he is very much in favor of it. The two discussed for a long time, and after discussing various situations, Wang Shao immediately set off and rushed back to Bianjing.
xxxxxx Youzhou, Yelu Hongji has recovered, and his anger has calmed down. He was so angry with Wu Ji that he vomited blood, and he was angry, which made him unbearable. However, Yelu Hongji is Yelu Hongji after all, and he soon understood that no matter how angry and annoyed he was, it would be useless. The most urgent task now is to gather the troops, restore morale, mobilize the troops, and prepare for another return.
Yelu Hongji is not a person who suffers losses, he has suffered losses, and he must get it back, otherwise, he will not give up, he will mobilize a large army, and prepare to come again, which is expected by the ministers.
Yelu Hongji threw down a holy decree, and all the troops that could be mobilized were mobilized and rushed south. This time, Yelu Hongji learned to be obedient, and he did not disperse the army and garrison it, but stationed it in Zhuozhou. Zhuozhou couldn't be stationed in the city, so he stationed troops outside the city.
Under his command, a group of ministers were busy, and they were busy.
"Your Majesty, according to the ministers, Da Liao might as well take advantage of the situation." Xiao Lu took a step forward and offered advice to Yelu Hongji: "Li Bingchang has always coveted the land of Guanzhong, this time, Da Liao and Nanren will fight, he will definitely send troops." If we can get the Western Xia to send troops and contain the Western soldiers, our chances of victory will be much greater. ”
It is not a secret that Western Xia covets the land of Guanzhong, and those who seek the country know it. Xixia has waited for this opportunity for decades, and will not let it go no matter what, and will definitely send troops, if the Liao State asks again, everything will fall into place.
"Yes!" The ministers were busy meeting peace.
"No!" Han Ju was strongly opposed.
"Lord Han, what do you mean by this? Let the Western Xia send troops, Yu Daliao will have a hundred benefits and no harm, why do you say no? "Xiao Lu is very unaccustomed to Han Ju, he would oppose such an obvious thing, it is really a pig's brain.
"Han'er doesn't have good things, being in Cao Ying's heart is in Han, Lord Han, do you think that the Southern Dynasty is your home?" Immediately a vicious attack arose from the minister.
"Shut up!" Yelu Hongji shouted loudly, and the ministers had to shut up. Yelu Hongji said to Han Ju: "Is there a saying? ”
"Your Majesty, Xixia covets Guanzhong, this is something that the whole world knows. Even if Da Liao does not take advantage of this situation, Li Bingchang will send troops. Han Ju said unhurriedly: "Instead of giving him this cheap, it is better to let Li Bingchang send it to the door by himself." If Da Liao sends people to Western Xia, he will definitely extort Western Xia and want the east and the west. If the Western Xia sent people to Da Liao, it would give the bargain to Da Liao, and at that time, the emperor would make Li Bingchang bleed profusely. ”
"Do you hear that? This is called a man who seeks the country! Yelu Hongji pointed at Han Ju and said to the ministers: "Li Bingchang wants to calculate me, why can't I calculate him?" ”
