Chapter 373: Upper, Middle and Lower
If Yang Xuan's target of attack after the mutiny was not the Eastern Capital, then Li Fengyun's westward march to the Central Plains to loot the Tongji Canal this time could worsen the situation in the Eastern Capital, but this deterioration may not be beneficial to Yang Xuan, and this may be the real reason why Li Mi Pegasus came.
Li Mi saw that Li Fengyun was silent, and his solemn expression showed a trace of melancholy and uneasiness, and he couldn't help but ask, "Who sued you, we want to fight the Eastern Capital?" Or is it your own guess? But with your strategy, you should know that the risk of attacking the eastern capital is too great, once we can't attack for a long time, we will definitely die, such a huge risk, who would dare to take a risk? ”
Li Fengyun couldn't help it, and said tentatively, "In a certain opinion, although it is very difficult to attack the Eastern Capital, if you raise your troops in July and take advantage of the best time when the Eastern Expeditionary Army has already killed under the city of Pyongyang and the naval division has crossed the sea to attack the Eastern Capital, then there is more time, and with time, everything is possible." ”
"All is possible?" Li Mi shook his head again and again, the expression on his face was very complicated, with disdain and helplessness, "It is precisely because it is possible that it is complicated, and it is precisely because it is complicated that it is even more impossible." ”
If Li Fengyun realized, he immediately realized that Yang Xuangan and Li Mi had different opinions on the decision to mutiny, and Li Mi was obviously difficult to convince Yang Xuangan. Li Fengyun continued to speak tentatively, "Since you are so pessimistic about attacking the Eastern Capital, where is your goal?" North or West? ”
A trace of surprise flashed in Li Mi's eyes, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "How can you judge that a certain target is either going north or west?" ”
Li Fengyun smiled but did not speak. Of course, I know, I know the trajectory of history, and now I don't have the power to change the direction of history, and the wheel of history is still driving on the inherent trajectory, so it is not surprising that your military strategy in this mutiny is still the famous "upper, middle and lower" three strategies.
Li Mi continued to ask, "In your opinion, how about going north?" What about westward expansion? ”
"As far as I know, Si Nongqing, General Zuo Yiwei, and Ge Gong Zhao Yuanshu were ordered to suppress Linyu Pass, and Linyu Pass is the throat connecting Youzhou and Liaodong, as long as Zhao Yuanshu raises troops to respond, the expeditionary grain route will be cut off, and the Holy Lord, the center and hundreds of thousands of expeditionary soldiers will also be blocked from advancing and retreating outside the pass, although waterway transportation can give the Holy Lord support, but this support time is very limited, heavy snow, cold winter is coming, the expeditionary force is in a dilemma of hunger and cold, and it will inevitably collapse, so the Holy Lord will be defeated. This strategy just hits the main scourge of the saints, and it is really the best policy, but this strategy has a fatal flaw. ”
When Li Fengyun talked about Zhao Yuanshu, Li Mi was very shocked, his face changed greatly, and he wanted to question Li Fengyun's source eagerly, but before he could speak, Li Fengyun came up with a strategy to go north, which was easy and easy, and it seemed that he had already had a case, and what surprised Li Mi again was that Li Fengyun's plan was exactly the same as his strategy to go north, and what surprised him especially was that Li Fengyun actually questioned this policy, thinking that this strategy had a fatal flaw, so where was the flaw?
"Zhao Yuanshu does have the opportunity to mutiny in Linyu Pass, but Zhao Yuanshu's move will not only threaten the safety of the Holy Lord, the center and hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the expeditionary force, the security of Liaodong and Liaoxi, but also the security of the entire Middle Earth, so it is foreseeable that as long as Zhao Yuanshu makes a move, the first crazy one is Zhuojun to stay behind Duan Da. Duan Da is the holy lord's confidant and beloved general, directly commanding all the frontier towns and garrisons in Zhuo County, Yuyang and Beiping counties, with at least thirty or forty thousand troops under his account, once the Youzhou border army frantically attacked Linyu Pass under his command, plus the western Liaoxi border army also tried its best to cooperate outside the pass, how long can Zhao Yuanshu support? Zhao Yuanshu's strength is already limited, and the tent is all Praetorian Guards, the Praetorian Guards are in charge of the guards, responsible for the security of the Holy Lord and the palace, and the loyalty to the Holy Lord can be imagined, even if Zhao Yuanshu deceived them and deceived them into a thief ship, but how long can this deception last? Once the truth is revealed, Zhao Yuanshu will be dead and will definitely be defeated.
"How long does it take for the Duke of Yue to raise troops in Liyang, gather troops, and then rush to Linyu Pass to meet Zhao Yuanshu? From Liyang to Jicheng, the capital of Zhuojun, and then from Jicheng to Lulong, Beiping Mansion, and then from Lulong to Linyuguan, there are nearly two thousand miles, even if you travel day and night, you will have to walk for more than half a month, and you will be blocked by some officials and troops loyal to the Holy Lord on the way, especially Jicheng, because there is Duan Da in charge, it is an insurmountable obstacle. In this way, even if you join Zhao Yuanshu at Linyu Pass, it is estimated that it will take more than a month, and in such a long time, the Holy Lord will definitely be able to rush back from Liaodong, and the main force of the Praetorian Guard led by the Holy Lord, as well as the elite of the Xiaoguo Army, as well as the left-behind army of the base camp of the Huaiyuan Town Expeditionary Army, tens of thousands of horses will also arrive at Linyu Pass. At that time, how long will you be able to hold out under the attack of Duan Da and the Holy Lord from the north and south? ”
"What's more, you are fighting alone in the north of Linyu Pass, even if there are individual allies who raise troops in some places to respond, but the impact on the eastern capital is too small, and it cannot constitute any substantial threat at all, and this is the biggest flaw and the biggest failure of this strategy."
Li Fengyun's voice was not loud, but his tone was strong, and in just a few words, he rebuked Li Mi's "best policy" to the fullest.
Li Mi's face was ugly, and it was even more difficult to hide the shame in his eyes, but he was speechless to refute.
From a military point of view, this policy is even more naïve from a military point of view, and from a political point of view, it is even more naïve. There is no comparison between the military strength of the mutineer and the military strength of the Holy Lord, so if the mutineer wants to defeat the Holy Lord, the only way to defeat the Holy Lord is to first gain the political advantage, and must seek allies in the political position, seek the support of more political groups, and then transform the political advantage into military strength, step by step reverse the military disadvantage, and wait until the mutineer's military superiority in the political government overwhelms the Holy Lord, then victory is just around the corner.
Li Fengyun was still unsatisfied, and without waiting for Li Mi to react, he immediately questioned the strategy of westward expansion.
"To go west is to take Guanzhong, but Guanzhong Tun has heavy troops, more terrain advantages, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and you can't start with your strength alone. In addition, the Guanzhong people have different political views, strict contradictions, and fierce conflicts, even if you are willing to compromise, but you cannot compromise without limits and bottom lines, and the Guanzhong people will not let go of such an excellent opportunity to hit you, so in the end they will inevitably meet each other, and you will eventually rely on military means to attack Guanzhong, so you will pin your hopes on Honghua to stay in Yuyang Gongyuan Honghe. ”
"Yuan Hongsi is in charge of the military administration of the thirteen counties of Longyou, is the supreme commander of the Northwest Army, and is strong, but what you never expected is that last year's Eastern Expedition has affected the situation in the northwest, Tuyuhun's Busabo Khan Murong Fuyun began the plan of recovering the country without hesitation, counterattacking the West Sea, and the Turks who followed the Western Turks Luo Khan into Middle Earth were also ready to move in the area of Huining, Hexi, intending to return to the west, especially the Yan zhòng is that the newly rising Shekui Khan of the Western Turks defeated the Tiele people, Once again, the sphere of influence was extended to the feet of Altai, forcing the Western Regions countries to surrender. In this way, all the results of the Holy Lord's Western Expedition have come to naught in the past period of time, the crisis in the western frontier is unprecedented, the defense of the Northwest Army is difficult, Yuan Hongsi has borne unprecedented heavy pressure, although he has a heavy army, and the soldiers are also eager to kill the captives, but the current national strength is all invested in the Eastern Expedition, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, the Northwest Army lacks food and clothing, and the troops are insufficient, not to mention active defense, even passive defense can not be done, and even the basic interests of Middle-earth in Western Xinjiang can not be maintained, so in such a critical situation, Yuan Hongsi has lost his authority, is precarious, even if he has the heart to mutiny, to capture Xijing, and to occupy Guanzhong, he is powerless and helpless. ”
"With the support of Yuan Hongsi and the powerful force of the Northwest Army, what are you going to do to attack Guanzhong? Therefore, there is no possibility of implementing the westward expansion policy. ”
Li Mi was shocked, not only shocked that Li Fengyun knew everything about the relevant secrets of Zhao Yuanshu and Yuan Hongsi, but also shocked by his understanding of the upper, middle and lower three attack strategies he had prepared, among which there were very few people who knew about the secrets of Zhao Yuanshu and Yuan Hongsi, even Li Zixiong had limited knowledge, and he only heard some secrets from Yang Xuangan after he arrived in Liyang this time, and the attack strategies he had prepared were based on these secrets, these strategies were discussed with Yang Xuangan and a very small number of mutiny planners such as Yang Xuangan. No one knows, and Li Zixiong doesn't know either, but Li Fengyun knows that it's terrible.
The secret was leaked, this was Li Mi's first reaction, and this answer was beyond doubt.
"Where do you know these secrets?" Li Mi finally spoke, and his expression was very ugly.
"Is this a secret?" Li Fengyun scoffed, "As long as you know who is planning a mutiny, as long as you know the current position of the mutineer, you can make countless deductions, and then eliminate and screen them one by one, and finally you can estimate and guess a rough idea." ”
"It's impossible." Li Mi didn't believe it at all.
"If you say it's impossible, it's impossible?" Li Fengyun sneered, "Last year, a certain person told you that the Eastern Expedition was going to be defeated, and you said that it was impossible, what was the result?" ”
Li Mi was speechless, but he never believed Li Fengyun's excuses, the secret of the mutiny must have been revealed, the top priority was to inform Yang Xuangan immediately, and let Yang Xuangan immediately mutiny, anyway, they were all dead, and the only way to fight to the death was to fight to the death, but in such a critical situation, the only way was to attack the Eastern Capital.
Li Mi fell into deep thought, his face was cloudy, and he tried his best to find a solution.
Although Yang Xuangan also questioned the strategy of going north and westward when discussing in Liyang before, because the eastern capital was too difficult to fight, he did not insist on hitting the eastern capital. And the reason why the Eastern Capital is difficult to fight is not because there are many garrisons in the Eastern Capital, nor because the Eastern Capital has strong defenses, but because the Eastern Capital is too complicated, so complicated that it is like a mess, and it is impossible to sort it out at all, the Holy Lord and a large group of reformist bigwigs have been working together for almost ten years and have not done it, how can Yang Xuangan and his allies do it in just a few months?
Do you really want to fight the Eastern Capital?
