Chapter 253: Planning
Within a moment, Shi Wengong and Chu Luli came together
"The ministers are still in charge of Chu Luli, and Shi Wengong, the deputy head of the march, was summoned to meet my emperor long live. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Come in." Zhao Xu's voice was a little tired and said to the two people outside the tent
"Your Majesty, I don't know what Your Majesty has ordered to summon his ministers and others to come late at night." Shi Wengong, as the second-in-command of this expedition to Goryeo, took the lead in holding his fists to Zhao Xu and bowed down and asked
Zhao Xu didn't talk nonsense to Shi Wengong and Chu Luli, beckoned the two to come to the sand table, and said to the two of them directly: "I just received a report that Jin Junnan, the commander of the three armies of the Goryeo Kingdom, has been sniped by the Timberwolf special combat team of our army, and so far, the entire army of the Goryeo Kingdom has been in a state of leaderlessness. ”
Listening to Zhao Xu's words, Shi Wengong immediately became extremely excited and said: "Long live, according to this, our army should be killed immediately, and it will definitely receive unexpected results, if the favorable conditions are properly handled, the Goryeo Kingdom will die in a battle, and, according to the analysis of the intelligence obtained by our army, the entire Goryeo Kingdom now has no decent commander, and at this time, our army will definitely be able to do its best in one battle." ”
Zhao Xu glanced up at Shi Wengong and said: "You are right, if our army is now quickly killed on the whole front, it will definitely be able to defeat all the armies of Goryeo, thus accelerating the demise of Goryeo very quickly, but what about the Goryeo army after we are defeated, they will retreat into those deep mountains and old forests, and constantly entangle with our army, which will make our country fall into a quagmire of war that is difficult to extricate from. The plains in the south are relatively small, and if our army makes an all-out attack and quickly destroys the whole of Goryeo, it can indeed end the war quickly for our country, but after the war, the remnants of the Goryeo Kingdom that they hide in the deep mountains and old forests will cause great losses to our country, and we will not be able to send a large number of troops to exterminate them, and if we rely on the timber wolves alone, they will not be able to finish this matter. ”
When Zhao Xu said this, Chu Luli seemed to understand something, so he said to Zhao Xu with a smile: "Your Majesty, are you going to play a big game of chess and stew all these hundreds of thousands of Goryeo troops in one pot?" ”
"Hahaha," Zhao Xu smiled at Chu Luli, and then said to the two: "Look at the two of you, our current location is here, Xijing Pyongyang in the Goryeo Kingdom, and in front of us is the Seohaedo of the Goryeo Kingdom, the junction of the Seokhae Road and the Jiaoju Road, there is a huge basin here, and we will concentrate our forces here to wipe out all the Goryeo troops." ”
"I would like to be at the disposal of Your Majesty." Shi Wengong said to Zhao Xu with great momentum
"Shi Wengong, this matter is personally ordered by you to all armies, tomorrow early in the morning, by the vanguard of our army, as well as the front army, 60,000 troops divided into six routes, directly attack the Goryeo Kingdom's Tashan Mountain City, Datong Jiangcheng, Yaocheng, Beishan City, Hancheng, Gangha City, the 60,000 Goryeo troops captured in Pyongyang City are evenly distributed among our six armies, let them carry out siege battles, this battle, only defeat is not allowed to win, leaving the Goryeo people with a false impression of abandoning corpses, I want to make the confidence of the Goryeo people burst."
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely instruct them to pretend to be real." Shi Wen smiled evilly and said to Zhao Xu with a fist
"Okay, you can step aside, Chu Luli stays."
"Wechen retires, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"Your Majesty left Weichen behind, I'm afraid it's not the affairs of Goryeo." Chu Luli bypassed the sand table and came to Zhao Xu's side and said
"Yes, Goryeo, but it is not worth my efforts to work so hard for him, just a small country, and Wang Xien, the lord of Goryeo."
"Then I don't know Your Majesty, but what is the matter with melancholy?"
"I can't say melancholy. Han Qing, you see, the north of our country is mostly plains, and our country has vigorously developed its military strength over the years, so that most of our army's troops are also cavalry, infantry is relatively small, and most of them have no experience in mountain and jungle warfare, even if the Chinese wolves all overwhelm the south, it is not enough for our country's war against the southern countries. Zhao Xu looked at the huge sand table in front of him and said to Chu Luli
Chu Luli didn't fully understand Zhao Xu's heart, but as a courtier, he couldn't help but say something, so he said to Zhao Xu: "Your Majesty, my Great Song Empire has deployed nearly 400,000 troops in the entire southern Xinjiang region so far, and all the troops are well-equipped and well-trained, and General Hu Songlin is also a rare commander in our country, although this person does not have His Majesty's ability to strategize and win thousands of miles away, but his ability is not under General Lu Junyi at all, the minister thinks, under the command of General Hu Songlin, Any enemy who comes to attack will inevitably have no return, but why is Your Majesty so worried? ”
"Han Qing, what I am worried about is not our army, but the leaders of the southwest tribes, the wolf soldiers of the various departments are brave and difficult, I am afraid that they will turn back at the critical moment and trap our army in a dilemma, that is our unbearable loss, besides, Dali, Jiaozhi, Bagan, Angkor Dynasty, the military strength of these four countries is on the plain, I have no fear of them, even if there is no artillery, I believe that with the iron cavalry of my Great Song Empire, they can be easily flattened, but the army of my empire, I have never entered the lush rainforest, and even said, we can't let the cavalry of the brigade blindly rush into those dense forests, that is tantamount to death, relying on the power of the wolf alone is even more impossible, my melancholy, is melancholy here. ”
"Your Majesty, although the number of the southwestern lords and the wolf soldiers under their accounts is only thirty or forty thousand, but their courage is available, why doesn't Your Majesty consider accepting them and integrating them into our army to serve our empire?" Chu Luli asked suspiciously
Zhao Xu sighed and said to Chu Luli: "This is a problem left over from the period of Emperor Taizu Taizong, and the Tusi masters of the southwest tribes also listen to the decrees of the imperial court, if they want to be incorporated into the forbidden army and serve me, even if they want to now, I don't dare, once those people enter the army, they are very likely to put on military uniforms and be soldiers, and if they take off their uniforms, they are bandits, which really gives me a big headache." All said that if the problem of the southwestern regions is not handled well, let alone the conquest of the southeast peninsula, even if it is to defend them, it will make me worry all day long. ”
"Your Majesty isn't planning to kill those toasts?" Chu Luli said with some concern. In fact, his worries are not unreasonable, because the various ethnic minorities in the southwest are still in a relatively backward social state, and there are even slave societies, but the people of those ethnic minorities are indeed very loyal to their Tusi leaders, and once their leaders are killed, I am afraid that the people of these ethnic minorities will make some unnecessary trouble.
Zhao Xu thought for a while and then said to Chu Luli: "It's certain to kill them, it's just a matter of time or time, but now it's not possible, not only can I not kill them, but I also have to reward them heavily, and when I clean up Goryeo, I will come back and clean them up." Alas, Han Qing, it's too tiring to be an emperor, and being a good emperor is even more tiring. ”
"Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, with your current merits, you are already an unprecedented emperor among all the emperors of our Han nation, your reform of agriculture and commerce, so that the current annual tax amount of our dynasty has been several times higher than that of the first emperor, the land you have opened up is broader than the land of my Great Song Dynasty, and you are close to being an emperor through the ages."
After listening to Chu Luli's words, Zhao Xu's spirit seemed to change again all of a sudden, and he stopped kneading the bridge of his nose and said, "Don't talk nonsense, do you think I can't hear the meaning of your words?" For you, if you sail against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, I understand. ”
"Hahaha, long live, you know the truth, why bother to ask Weichen as a courtier." Chu Luli said to Zhao Xu with a thief on his face
Zhao Xu smiled and said to Chu Luli: "Okay, you go back to rest, and call Lin Chong to me by the way." ”
"Your Majesty take care of the dragon's body, Weichen retires, long live my emperor, long live, long live." (To be continued.) )
