Chapter 552: The Battle of the Ages (2)
"Shilin, I can answer this question for you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Han Ziyu said: "Since the pacification of southern Xinjiang, the world has been temporarily stabilized, but this is only temporary, the long is five years, the short is three years, and the war must be started. ā
"Among the princes in the world, I should be the strongest in Kaiyuan, and the court in Dongjiang is the weakest, but there is a Yangtze River moat in Dongjiang, and there are 200,000 sailors, especially the year before last, I also subdued hundreds of pirates outside the sea area, and reorganized 100,000 sailors, so that even if Dongjiang cannot expand outward, it has more than enough self-preservation."
"Shi Lin might as well think about it, if Jiang Yiyuan wants to expand outward, where will he attack?"
Zhang Shilin thought for a while and said, "That must be Dongjiang." ā
Han Ziyu said: "Yes, it's Dongjiang, but with the strength of his current navy, he can't attack Dongjiang at all, even if he wins, it will be a lot of damage, and in the end, he still can't escape the fate of being annexed by us, so......." ā
Zhang Shilin was taken aback, and suddenly said: "All this was planned by Jiang Yiyuan?" ā
"Hehe... What do you think? ā
Han Ziyu said: "Jiang Yiyuan wants to attack the eastern frontier, but he doesn't dare, because we are Kaiyuan, he is in danger of being annexed at any time, so he made a bold choice, he wants to gather the three kings, first destroy us and others, as long as there is no us, who else is the opponent of southern Xinjiang in the world?" ā
"Yang Xiong was naturally ecstatic when he heard the news, he was hoping that someone would help him attack Kaiyuan, because the next thing he had to do was to start a war with us, the original strength was not enough, but if Jiang Yiyuan was added, it would be different."
"As for the little emperor of Dongjiang, he must be afraid of my navy, so he also has the idea of destroying me first, so the three kings are twisted into a rope."
After some analysis, Han Ziyu has already explained things very clearly, and in fact, it is probably so, but it is not as simple as Han Ziyu thought, there are many twists and turns, and Jiang Yiyuan planned it for a year to complete this plan.
In particular, it would be extremely troublesome to avoid Ling Feng's shadow.
After Han Ziyu finished speaking, the generals, scribes, and officials of the six departments in the hall were divided into two opinions, and half of them were in favor of fighting back and exterminating the three kings, and most of these people were generals who had been fighting for many years.
After all, the enemy is too strong, with an army of 1.7 million, and has formed a situation of encirclement, that is to say, in a very short period of time, the army will be gathered to meet the three armies respectively, but now Kaiyuan does not have too many troops, most of them are distributed in the counties of northern Xinjiang.
Ling Feng's strength at the moment was as follows.
Liao Yun, 70,000 field troops.
Sun Liang, Sun Tong, 50,000 field troops.
Yang Ye, 50,000 field troops.
Chu Jun, 50,000 field troops.
Zhang Wu, Wolf Cavalry Army (5,000 Field Army).
Han Yong, 70,000 siege troops.
Zhang Ming, 40,000 siege troops.
Li Yan, 40,000 siege troops.
Qin Liang, 5,000 feather forest army.
Wu Feng (Ying Tianfu Yin, a general selected from Wuying Palace), 20,000 Ying Tianfu soldiers.
Bai Ku, who was transferred to the military department two years ago, is responsible for training soldiers, and has 30,000 recruits on hand.
The above is all the soldiers and horses stationed in Kaiyuan, which can be mobilized at will, a total of 430,000, don't look at the number is very scary, among which Ying Tianfu, Yulin Army, and Baiqu recruits, these 55,000 are all immovable, one is to garrison Kaiyuan County, and the other is the five combat effectiveness of the recruits, and it is useless to go.
Moreover, in the face of the three-way army that came at the same time, and there were about 500,000 on each road, the soldiers and horses left in Kaiyuan were only Ying Tianfu and Yulin Army, which would definitely not work, for the sake of safety, at least the regular army should be left, such as Zhang Ming's department, or Li Yan's department, and the reserve army should be left, which also needs tens of thousands, so calculated, in fact, the soldiers who can be mobilized to fight on the front line will not exceed 300,000, and the 300,000 soldiers will also attack in three ways, each road is only tens of thousands, and they have to face hundreds of thousands of troops. The pressure can be imagined.
Of course, Ling Feng's strength is not only this, but also the five counties in the north of Xinjiang, the Yangtze River trapped in the dragon beach and the Yuqing Dragon Army, if all of them are added up, they can reach one million, but these soldiers are far away in the north of Xinjiang, not a few days away, if you start to transfer troops now, wait for the order to be issued, and then transfer the army, it is estimated that it will be a few months later, by that time, it is a problem whether Kaiyuan is still in the future, especially the current imperial capital, the imperial capital and Yang Xiong's 200,000 army, which may be killed at any time, and Jiang Yiyuan and the little emperor form a siege trend, and now Kaiyuan, It's really stormy, it's very dangerous.
"Why, you all advocate peace?"
Ling Feng sat on the top and looked at the officials of the six ministries in the hall, as well as several Wenxian Pavilion scribes, what made Ling Feng most angry was that Han Yong and Bai Ku both advocated peace.
In general, against the belligerents, reached half!
"No peace!"
Zhang Wu came out of the queue and said loudly: "Who said that peace was going to be negotiated, who were we afraid of?" Yang Xiong? Don't think that he is very capable of fighting with hundreds of thousands of cavalry, if he dares to come, I will be the first to destroy him, let him taste the power of my wolf cavalry first, compared to cavalry, he has never been afraid; Besides, Jiang Yiyuan has always been known for his resourcefulness, but when it comes to resourcefulness, is he comparable to our Ziyu military division, I think he will be defeated, as for the little emperor, needless to say, there is no courage bandit, even a strong city like the imperial capital does not dare to defend, and runs to the eastern frontier to seek stability, such a person who does not even dare to fight, what is there to fear? ā
Zhang Wu has grown up now, but he is not the little Zhang Wu of the past, he is already twenty years old, with a mustache rising from his mouth, handsome and burly, quite a general.
In the past three years, the martial arts have improved a lot, and they have been able to draw with Liao Yun, which is incredible, which makes the wolf cavalry even more morale, and they are all virtuous with Zhang Wu, arrogant and invincible, in the eyes of the wolf cavalry, it is as if no one is their opponent, as long as they fight, they are invincible.
Hearing Zhang Wu's words, Ling Feng breathed a sigh of relief, secretly said that Zhang Wu is still sensible, the big war is imminent, what he wants is this kind of momentum, this kind of invincible momentum, without this momentum, how can the battle be fought?
Coming to this point, it is already an arrow that has to be issued, can it negotiate peace? Will they agree to make peace?
So, we must fight!
Looking at Han Yong, Ling Feng was quite angry and asked, "Han Yong, I remember that you used to be warlike, why do you advocate peace now?" Let's talk about it.... ā
Han Yong came out of the ranks and reported: "My lord, in the past three years, I have worked hard to develop internal affairs, and there have been many wastes in the military, and Jiang Yiyuan in southern Xinjiang, the imperial court in eastern Xinjiang, and Yang Xiong in western Xinjiang have all rapidly expanded their troops, and they have more than 1.7 million soldiers in this area, and the soldiers will continue to support the front line. When they are not in the Alliance, we will break them one by one. (To be continued.) )
