Chapter 252: Shining Dragon
The first Supreme Military and Political Council of the Shenlong Empire was held in the Wanmin Palace, and this meeting was intended to discuss how to recover the ten states and recapture Fengtian. Everyone expressed their opinions, and on the whole, the military's attitude was relatively tough, that is, the camp of Wolf Mountain in the north, blockading Yanmen Pass, and attacking from the other three sides at the same time, fighting down.
Wenchen's attitude was to try to avoid casualties among the people, after all, they were all compatriots, and they themselves had already become slaves of the prisoners, and once the war started, it would inevitably affect the pond fish, which was really heartbreaking. The ministers hoped that the General Senate would consider not hurting the innocent too much when formulating its strategy.
Ximenqing announced the results of the battle exercise conducted by the General Staff in light of the current situation, and if according to the will of the ministers, the casualties of the Imperial Flying Tiger Legion will be more than three times that of the unbridled operation, this casualty is unacceptable. Therefore, the civil and military sides had a heated debate, and the two sides were deadlocked, so the final decision was handed over to Yan Hui.
Yan Hui stood up and looked at everyone and said, "The people of the Ten Prefectures are all the people of my Divine Dragon Empire, and it is very painful to have one person killed or injured. The Flying Tiger Legion was built by me, and it was too much of a loss, and I couldn't feel at ease. I have understood from your discussions that you are right. But what I want to say is that if you are concerned, you will be confused. The ten states must be recovered, the people must be rescued, and the casualties of our soldiers must be minimized. It may seem paradoxical, but I want you to look up at the map. ”
Yan Hui walked to the map and pointed to the grassland and said: "Holding the people hostage as meat shields is a poisonous ploy of the captives, but what about the other way around? The enemy is available, why are we not available. The borders of the steppes and the empire stretched for thousands of miles, and there were places to attack everywhere. In my opinion, we only need to attack the grassland, mobilize the Sirius cavalry in the ten states to reinforce, and set up an ambush in the middle to consume a large number of enemy elites. The wolf lay in the hole and didn't come out, so we forced him out and beat him. ”
"My plan is like this, the whole campaign is divided into three phases, the first stage is to attack the Sky Wolf City, cut off the connection between the Far East and the steppe, so that both the Rong Department in the Far East and the Rong Department of the Grassland will send troops to help. At that time, we will be able to rely on the two defense lines of Hongjila Pass and Urakan to block the enemy army, consume a large amount of the enemy's vital forces, and mobilize the Heavenly Wolf Cavalry in the land of the Ten States. ”
"In the second stage, an ambush was set up outside Yanmen Pass to encircle and annihilate the wolf riders who came out of the pass. While blocking the Yanmen Pass, attract the enemies of the Wolf Mountain camp to come to the rescue and gather and annihilate them at the same time. At this stage, depending on how much the Erdunke army goes out, if the Erdunke army continues to go out of the pass, then the first-line armies of Jizhou, Bozhou, and Jinyang will quickly attack the land of the ten states, and they can occupy as much as they want, resulting in a situation of pressing step by step. If the Erdunke army can't retreat at this time, we will storm the Wolf Mountain camp, and after conquering the Wolf Mountain camp, we will quickly advance to Dingyuan City. If at this time Erdunke led his army out of the pass, our army would immediately entangle him, surround him, and destroy him, and the other three men and horses would quickly attack Mukden. If Erdunke can't hold out, then we will go straight to the distance and besiege the Great Khan's royal city, and it will be difficult for Erdunke to think of it at that time. ”
"In the third stage, after eliminating Erdunke and recapturing Mukden, the troops were divided into three routes, all the way to storm the Urakan defense line, all the way to the Great Khan's royal city, and all the way to the grassland, until the grassland was fully recovered."
"After the completion of the three phases, the Shenlong Empire has recovered all the Great Yan Territory except for the Far East, and internally, we can take this opportunity to recuperate and pass through the grasslands. Externally, we confronted the remnants of the Rong captives in Urakan and blockaded the coast of the Far East with our navy, besieging the Rong captives in the Far East. When its strength weakens, our army can advance by land and water to take the Far East and sweep away the captives in one fell swoop. ”
"Of course, before the first phase of the campaign begins, we have to fight a small battle, that is, to raid Wenduer Mountain and try to capture the high-ranking family members as hostages. This was done to give Rong Lu a taste of being coerced. There are three main targets for the raid on Mount Wenduer, one is Sumedo, the second is Mulun, and the third is Bairilun. If you can't catch Sumedo, you must also catch Mullen, because Mulen is the teacher of Erdunke, not to mention the worship of Rilun, the son of Erdunke, is more valuable, so this arrangement can ensure everything. ”
As soon as Yan Hui's plan came out, everyone applauded in unison. This plan is very feasible, and every stage is to attack the key points, and if you fight them, you will be saved, and you can't fight if you want to. Moreover, Yanhui's plan is comprehensive, and all the unfavorable factors that everyone considers are resolved, and everyone has no reason to question it. The overall concept of the campaign was introduced, and the remaining details were handed over to the General Staff of Ximenqing for specific planning.
Yan Hui walked back to his seat but did not sit down, he looked at the people in front of him and said, "Once upon a time, the Great Yan was as a mountain to look up to, and the Great Yan Emperor was regarded by the people of the world as the representative of the gods in the world, but he eventually perished in the hands of Rong Yu. It's a pity, it's sad, it's a pity! The fundamental reason lies in the interior, which is the case in the former Qin and the Great Yan. This is what we need to learn from in the future, and the reason why I set up the three courts is to separate the powers, so that the power can really be used in a place where the country is beneficial to the people. The mutual supervision of the three courts is not to restrain each other, but to allow you to better exercise your rights, so that you have as few selfish distractions in your hearts as possible, so that you always put the interests of the empire in your heart, and instead of shouting loyalty to me, it is better to be sincere and loyal to the people, and loyalty to the country and the people is loyalty to me. That's why I put the words "the interests of the empire above all else" on the flag. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, I said that this is not because of your quarrels, quarrels like today are open and honest, and they are also quarrels dedicated to the public, and I can't ask for such quarrels. The truth of listening is clear, and the secretaries know better than me. Therefore, I hope that in the future, the secretaries will take the initiative to think about the interests of the empire and give full play to their wisdom and talents for the interests of the empire, because this empire is not mine's alone, it belongs to all of us, and it belongs to the people of the world. There is no reason why we should not govern the empire well, and at this stage we are not yet ready to enjoy the fruits of victory, there are still many big battles to be fought and many livelihood problems to be solved. Therefore, the general policy of the empire is: take from the people, use it for the people. The empire is the people, and the people are the empire of eternity. This must be borne in mind. ”
"When the Shenlong Empire was first established, the Imperial Navy had already laid the foundation for the Empire's maritime supremacy, and the first battle of the Navy's founding was very successful, and the next thing to do was our Imperial Army. After the end of the campaign, I will set up the Imperial War Department, and the chief of the army will be the most meritorious person in this campaign. Then, at this stage, our strategic policy is: to drive out the captives and glorify the dragon. ”
"Exorcise the captives and shine the dragon!"
The meeting was a complete success, and Yan Hui and his courtiers were satisfied. When Yan Hui returned to his home, Nian Zu, who had already begun to babble, crawled over to hug him without waiting for the call. This is his own son, Yan Hui thinks about it when he doesn't see him for a day, and he doesn't feel solid in his heart if he doesn't hug him every day. The first thing I do when I go home every day is to interact with Nianzu, and whenever this time, Yan Chengyu and his wife and Yan Hui's wife will watch from the side, sharing Yan Hui's joy.
Wen Wen'er is now a pot-bellied poop, and she is about to give birth, after Wang Wen's diagnosis, it is estimated that she is a son again, if that is the case, the situation of the Yan family's scarcity will be greatly improved.
Under the care of Yanhui's family, Long Shengshi's pain of losing his parents has been weakened a lot, coupled with the arrival of his sister Long Nishang, Long Shengshi feels that he is also a man who can protect others, so Long Shengshi seems to have become an adult overnight, and his gestures also show a trace of Yanwang Long Changshou's demeanor.
Yan Hui knew that Long Shengshi was coming, but pretended not to see him, and took advantage of Long Shengshi's regular greetings to Yan Chengyu and his wife, and took Long Shengshi and Long Nishang in his arms and put them beside Nianzu.
Three children and an adult played with the top cow on the carpet, which Yan Hui did on purpose, Long Shengshi behaved like an adult again, but after all, it was a child, and the child should be happy to play and make trouble. So Yan Hui never stopped Long Shengshi from showing his naughty side, not to mention that Yan Hui found out that his son should be a naughty bag who was not easy to train, just by looking at him making Yan Jiaorao cry several times. It's just that now this kid is still putting his head against Sheng Shi's waist and eyes, making Sheng Shi laugh non-stop.
"Sheng Shi, uncle asked you, what do you plan to do in the future?"
"Uncle, I want to be a learned man like my father."
"Very good, in a few months you will be able to go to the academy to study, would you like to eat and live with those students? Everything in the academy is on your own. ”
"I'm willing, but what about my sister?"
"With your aunt to take care of her, Nishang will not be wronged. Uncle also wants to tell you that when you reach the crown, your uncle will crown you as King Yan, King Yan is the most honorable prince of the Shenlong Empire, and idlers can't get it, do you understand what Uncle means? ”
Sheng Shi understands that Sheng Shi will not insult the incomparably glorious title of King Yan. Uncle, I thought, um~~~, can I become a disciple of Lord Shen? ”
"Hahaha, you will have many world-famous teachers, and Shen Zhi is naturally among them. Don't worry, my uncle has arranged it, and when the time comes, he will dare not accept you, and see how your uncle cleans him up. ”
"Uncle, you are so good, just as good as my father."
Sheng Shi hugged Yan Hui's neck and was very happy, this scene made Yan Chengyu and Zhuo Yujiao very relieved. Yuan Yuan happily watched the four of them playing, and kept touching Wen Wen'er's belly with one hand. Xiao Yue looked at Wen Rou'er's belly enviously, and couldn't stop smacking her mouth, Zhuo Yu touched Xiao Yue's head lovingly and said, "Silly child, you are still young, don't worry." ”
Xiao Yue's cheeks were crimson and she hid in Zhuo Yujiao's arms.
In the evening, Yan Hui came to her sister's house with the meat and bones made by herself, and Yan Jiaorao was crying bitterly. Her mother-in-law, Long Rongyue, committed suicide in the Liaodong Palace a few days ago, Yan Hui read the letter left by Long Rongyue and knew that Long Rongyue was because she learned that her imperial brother died tragically, and her beloved nephew turned out to be the son of the Rong enemy. For this poor and pathetic woman, Yan Hui has no hatred at all now, he wears linen and filial piety, and solemnly buries Long Rongyue with the gift of a princess, and also appeases Wang Meng, who is crying incessantly, so he finds time to comfort his sister.
Yan Hui looked at Yan Jiaorao, who was chewing on meat and bones and sobbing constantly, and scraped her sister's nose with her hand in distress. This is a small intimacy between the brother and sister, and until now only Yanhui has this privilege.
"Brother, I won't have anyone to hurt in the future."
"Nonsense, there are brothers and sisters-in-law who love you, and there are parents who love you. There will be that guy who will hurt you in the future, hmph, I will be angry when I think of him, if it weren't for his outstanding ability, brother, I really want to tie him up and throw a stone into the river. ”
"Oh no, he's going to drown."
"No, don't you know that he is known as the Iron Lock Hengjiang? His watery body was trained when he was a child, and he was fine. But seeing that you care about him so much, I'll spare him. ”
"Brother~~~~."
"Rao'er, no matter what happens in the future, you are the most important person in my brother's heart. My brother will let you choose who you like, as long as you are happy, let your brother do whatever you want. Remember, you are the little princess of the Yan family, and everyone will be happy when you are happy. In the future, no matter where you marry, you must come back on time to see your brother, otherwise your brother will miss you. ”
Yan Jiaorao hugged her brother and cried, this time Yan Hui didn't stop her, he knew that his sister's heart knot had opened, and what awaited Yan Jiaorao in the future would be eternal happiness and peace.
"Well, what should I do?"
"Brother~~~, I made it clear to Brother Xiaojue, and Brother Xiaojue said that he wished me happiness. He also said that if Brother Feng treats me badly in the future, he will beat him. ”
"Hahaha, that's good, don't worry, my brother will find a good girl for Xiaojue."
"Brother, can you take care of Nianzu? He steals. ”
"What? No way, how old is he, you can tell me what the hell is going on. ”
"Nianzu can be naughty, but it's nothing, boys are like this. But I found that every time he came, I had something less, and the beaded hat you gave me was gone, and then my sister-in-law found it in the cradle of Nianzu. But at that time, none of us found out how Nian Zu did it. Brother, you have to teach Nian Zu, he is still young and ignorant, but it will not be good in the future. ”
"Okay, my brother will find out about this matter when I go back, what are you missing, and my brother will make it up to you when I go back, double it."
Yan Jiaorao smiled and stretched out her little hand and said, "The best jade, two baskets." ”
"Sister, you want so much, can you give less dowry when you get married in the future?"
"Hehe, no, if you dare to give less, I'll cry in front of my mother."
"Okay, it's cheaper than Murong Feng."
"You're embarrassed to say, why didn't you say it when you deceived Xiaoyue's sister-in-law?"
"At that time, your sister-in-law Xiaoyue didn't have a dowry."
"Brother Feng has already secretly given a lot of things to Xiaoyue's sister-in-law, not to mention that the Phnom Penh bill of exchange alone is so thick. This is all obtained by Xiaoyue's sister-in-law when she saw Brother Feng and complained about it. ”
Yan Jiaorao spread her arms parallel to each side, indicating that it was countless thick.
"Hahaha, this is my wife, my brother will go to your sister-in-law Xiaoyue to help her count the bills of exchange in a while, but you can't learn from your sister-in-law, you are my own sister."
"Hee-hee, I've learned." (To be continued.) )
