Chapter 149: Marching into the Army
On August 15, I wish my brothers and sisters a happy family and all the best, and a happy Mid-Autumn Festival
Now the situation of Yan Kingdom: the northern border is unprecedentedly stable, the vitality of the dog Rong has been greatly injured and the turtle has shrunk into the depths of the grassland, the rebels of Tan Guide have been completely wiped out and disappeared, and the two wars have made the north no longer have to worry about the future, there is no doubt that this is Jingtai's merit
The Western army attacked deep into the plateau, but was pitted by the Uighurs, and the whole army fell into passivity but only passive, the army of the Yan people is still there, and the combat power should not be underestimated, even if the Uighurs form an alliance with the nearby feudal lords, it is not easy to swallow this Yan army, not to mention that the feudal lords and the army from each other are incompatible, and the dispatch of troops to the plateau can only be regarded as a mistake of Jingtai;
However, it would be a complete mistake to gather heavy troops in the south and invade Nanli in the south! The expeditionary force was completely wiped out on the edge of the Southern Wilderness, and the defense of the southern part of Dayan inevitably became empty......
On the seventh day after the fall of Hongyao, in the imperial study, in front of Jingtai, the four ministers bowed their heads and stood solemnly, the two Shangshu of the household and the soldiers, Zhuge Xiaoyu, the chief officer of Wuyi Wei, and Wen Jin moved to Lord Wen in the middle of the court
Wen Jinqian has been very busy these days, he cooperated with Zhuge Xiaoyu, one end was constantly collecting all kinds of news about Shengfan, investigating their number, and on the other hand, he buried himself in the library, flipping through the old classics, looking for records of past life, and soon he was very surprised to come to a conclusion: Judging from the scale of Shengfan that he has learned now, the catastrophe from the Southern Wilderness this time is more terrible than every similar disaster in the past
In terms of numbers and the intensity of the destruction, the catastrophe of 300 years ago was just a child
When the household department estimated the losses caused by Shengfan, and the military department reported the defense and battles in the south one by one, Wen Jinqian also reported his recent discovery to the emperor, but Wen Jinqian didn't notice it, and he kept shaking his head as he spoke... He himself felt that this matter was too unbelievable, three hundred years ago, it was the fire of the earth, and the ferocious natural disaster made the monsters in the depths of the Southern Wilderness panic; This time, the world is stable, and there are no disasters or visions at all, why can so many beings be alarmed to break into the world
Jingtai heard it, even if he was not interested in investigating the root cause, how to deal with this catastrophe is the top priority, and immediately asked: "What do you think about the current situation?" ”
The two adults of the household department and the military department did not speak, but Wen Jinqian bluntly said that this is his duty: "Now it is the southern border that is in turmoil, but it is the central continent and the eastern frontier that are really worried."
Although the local garrison resisted hard, it was not difficult to foresee that it would be a matter of time before the southern border was penetrated, and then the rich Central Continent and Eastern Xinjiang, where the core of the Great Yan Foundation, would be exposed to the huge threat of Shengfan
Jingtai didn't respond, and turned his eyes to look at the military department Shangshu, who immediately opened his mouth to answer, Yan Guo's westward expedition to the south, basically from the west and north, the assembled troops are not too big impact on the central and eastern regions, especially the middle continent is where the eye city is located, the garrison is stronger, and their strength is enough to deal with the catastrophe, so they don't have to worry too much
Zhuge Xiaoyu, the treasurer of Wuyi Wei, shook his head, and said with a cold face: "I am the Shengfan in the Southern Realm of Dayan, and now it is not as many as the Shengfan in Nanli's country, and according to the investigation, there are still monsters in the Southern Wilderness coming out one after another, and how many are still hidden in the specific mountains... I don't know."
Shang Shu was taken aback when he heard this, and said in a lost voice: "How can there be so many? ”
According to the current development of the situation, the Shengfan who is still in the mountains and still in Nanli will sooner or later pour into Dayan, and now it seems that the Zhonglu and Eastern Xinjiang are still stable, whether they will still be safe at that time, it is difficult to say
Hearing the exclamation of the military department, Jingtai said coldly to him: "Jin Qian just said that this catastrophe is far greater than the past, and the scale of the life is amazingly huge, why, didn't you listen to it well?" ”
Lord Shangshu didn't dare to respond, Wen Jinqian raised another topic in time, it was a round, the main force of the Yan country's crusade against the grassland has returned to China, and the troops in the north are sufficient, for the sake of today, this force should be dispatched as soon as possible, the southern Xinjiang is not saved, don't bother with it, as long as the defense of the east and the east is strengthened, and the foundation of the Yan country will not be shaken to be held for a while, and when the restlessness of the life fan subsides, they will naturally retreat
These monsters eat people and kill people, but they can't destroy the fertile land, nor do they take away the gold and silver wealth, just wait for them to withdraw, and when the time comes, whether it is Nanjing or Nanli, it will still be Dayan's
Wen Jinqian's words are still not good: "With the northern army alone, it may not be able to stop Shengfan, keep the middle and east"
The secretary of the military department said: "For the sake of safety, do you want to withdraw the soldiers and horses on the plateau?" ”
Judging from the form of the Yan army in the west, the retreat of the army will definitely be pursued by the Uighurs, and losses are inevitable, but the family and country are really in trouble, and nothing is more important than preserving the foundation hinterland of the Great Yan
Several other people in the imperial study nodded and reconsidered the proposal of the military department, but Emperor Jingtai was noncommittal, lowered his head and began to think about it to himself......
After a long time, Jing Tai raised his head again, but what he said had nothing to do with the current situation: "My original plan was to send that army to the plateau again after pacifying Nanli, and let Mu Tong go to reinforce Zhou Jing, and the two armies joined forces, steadily breaking Rinka, and then driving straight into the Uighurs to attack the troops and horses withdrawn from the north, leaving them in the country as a backup, and they could go out at any time if there was anything to do."
Speaking of this, Jingtai asked Wen Jinqian: "Jinqian, let me ask you, what is the state of the Uighurs' strength on the plateau, compared to their national strength, and our troops?" ”
The question of long live is not very clear, but Wen Jinqian can fully understand it, and answers carefully and carefully: "The Uighur troops that entered the plateau, both in terms of numbers and strength, are a few points inferior to the army sent to Tibet by His Majesty, but they took the lead, so we were more passive."
"As for the comparison of national strength, it is also very clear that the Uighurs have taken up almost fifty percent of the troops in the desert and the whole of Xinjiang, and the main force of our Western expeditionary troops and horses is only from the garrison of the Western Xinjiang headquarters, and in the overall military strength of our Shenzhou State, at best, more than two percent."
Jingtai smiled, a little proud: "More than 20% of my Dayan is almost 50% of the Uighurs."
Wen Jinqian nodded yes, while Jingtai exhaled a long breath and said in a slightly greedy tone: "On the plateau, there are almost half of the Uighurs' soldiers... If we can defeat it, most of the Uighurs will collapse, and our army will drive straight into the desert to break through the barriers... It's not that the Great Khan will be captured alive, but after this battle, it is inevitable that the Uighurs will be greatly damaged... Nanli is dead, Tibet is in turmoil, the dogs are not enough to suffer, the Uighurs have also been hit hard, and the overall situation of Middle-earth has been decided... All that's left is the details, and no matter how hard I work with everyone, my Great Yan will definitely be able to dominate the world, and reproduce the grand scene of the great unification of the Middle-earth world, and I and Yan will leave a name in history with you, wouldn't it be happy?"
chattering, Jingtai said the original good calculation, and then shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that after thinking about it, I didn't expect the monsters in the Southern Wilderness to run out and stir up the situation... The soldiers sent to Nanli are all wiped out, the monsters are causing chaos in my southern border, and sooner or later they will be killed in the middle of the continent and the eastern frontier, and there will be a protracted, bloody and ferocious battle in the future. Da Yan is afraid that he will also be injured a lot."
The emperor said that the truth is that fighting a war will kill people and that fighting a war will cost money, and it is not difficult to infer the scale of the future fierce war based on the number of births now
It is not wrong that Dayan is rich and prosperous in the world, but it is inevitable to take on such a big battle
Jingtai said a lot of words, the little insect was well-behaved, and he held a cup of medicinal tea in time and offered it to the emperor to moisten his throat Jingtai smiled and nodded to the little eunuch to show his gratitude, when he treated his own people, he was still the crazy emperor, and he was clearly a thoughtful and kind elder
After taking a sip of water, Jingtai's eyes looked back at the Shangshu of the Hui Military Department: "The country is in trouble, and the military horses abroad should be withdrawn immediately to participate in the deployment, this statement is true, but let Zhou Jing come back, and wait until the plateau is handed over to the Uighurs, we will fight with Shengfan... First of all, according to the two years, the vicious war lasted for two years, Shengfan retreated, and the Yan country was full of holes; The Uighurs, however, enjoyed the fruits of their victories in Tibet, and slowly turned their victories into benefits, growing stronger...... Will we be able to fight the Uighurs by then? ”
Fighting a war will consume national strength, and the war between Dayan and Shengfan is a matter of only losing money and not making money, while the war of aggression, such as the current Uighur war against Tibet, is another matter, if the Uighurs win, even if many soldiers die and spend a lot of military spending, they will definitely be able to earn it back in the future, but there is a key point in this: time
It does not mean that the Uighurs will immediately become strong and rich after winning the war and occupying the land in Tibet, but it will take a process to slowly digest the fruits of victory and turn them into their own wealth and strength
The Uighurs, who had just conquered Rinkha, must have been weaker than they were before he sent his troops to the plateau; But given the time to transform his victory, the Uighurs in two years will be stronger than they were
The emperor's statement was not wrong, and the military department was speechless
It's not that Shangshu is mediocre, and he can't even think of such a simple truth, but that the army that conquers the west can't come back, it's a dilemma, and if you want to blame, you can only blame those god-killing people
The emperor has already roughly said what he meant, with his temper, most of the important ministers dare not persuade him again, but Wen Jinqian insists on his duty, and he has to say something, even if it is contrary to the holy will: "If the Western Army does not return, when the main force of the future life comes, I am afraid that the defense will not be solid."
"It's not that you won't let them come, it's that they will come back later, and when they destroy the main Uighur force, they will rush back to save the country" Jingtai shook his head and laughed: "You also said that 'wait for the future life to strike', the catastrophe is still in the 'future', we still have time"
Wen Jinqian was stunned at first, with the situation on the plateau, the expeditionary force might be able to barely do it if they wanted to protect themselves, and if they wanted to defeat the Uighurs in a short time, it was a fool's dream
But in the end, it was a confidant courtier, Wen Jinqian quickly guessed Jingtai's thoughts, and after being stunned for a moment, his face changed suddenly
Jingtai still had the same expression, but his tone quietly became heavier: "Isn't there still a big army in the north?" Do the math, it's not too late."
The two Shangshu adults peeked at each other, both confused in their eyes, do the math? What is it? What is too late?
Wen Jinqian also showed a little confusion, bowed down and asked Jingtai: "Your Majesty wants us to count... Calculate the army of northern Yan, if you kill the plateau first, help Zhou Jingyi to defeat the Uighurs of Rinka, and then rush back to help the country, will it be too late in time? Is it possible to rush back before the arrival of the main force of Shengban? ”
Jingtai didn't have any expression, and responded: "Not bad" After finishing speaking, he suddenly laughed again, and turned his eyes to look at the two Shangshu: "Thank you Lord Wen yet, he is pretending to be confused to solve your doubts"
Wen Jinqian had already guessed the emperor's thoughts, but seeing that the two Shangshu were still puzzled, he was not good at mentioning it directly in front of the emperor, so he simply put on an uncertain look, ostensibly asking the emperor for verification, but in fact, he was telling his colleagues what the emperor asked them to count
The soldier's Shangshu expression was shocked, and he was about to say something, but Jingtai could see his thoughts, and he didn't allow him to open his mouth at all, and said coldly: "I let you persuade you, those words that have no taste and no use will rot in my stomach."
The emperor's meaning could not be clearer, he wanted his army and Shengfan to grab time
It's not mediocre, it's just crazy
The prospect of Tai had already made it clear that withdrawing troops for defense was a decent method, but when Yan fought against Shengfan, the Uighurs would have lost the advantage they had previously held in their development and growth, and they would no longer be the most powerful country in Middle-earth, and their dreams of competing for supremacy would be completely shattered...... This is something that Jingtai can't bear no matter what
It was because the emperor wanted to make a dangerous move, and the catastrophe was inevitable, and the damage to the Yan Kingdom was inevitable, but before that, he had to deal a heavy blow to the Uighurs, so that it would be difficult for them to turn over within a few years
If it succeeds and destroys the desert expeditionary force on the plateau, the Uighurs will be battered by this, and they will not want to recover for three or five years, and when Dayan survives the catastrophe, Dayan will still be the most powerful country in the world in Middle-earth
However, this risk is too great, not only will not the army advancing westward be withdrawn, but the northern army will be sent out to strengthen the defense, what if the two armies do not return in time? Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and how can it be possible to calculate the exact date in advance
There was no guarantee that the armies of the western and northern routes would quickly crush the Uighur expeditionary force and return to the defense before the main force of Shengfan reached Yanzhonglu. However, it is exactly the same, no one can be sure that these two armies will not be able to complete the task and it is an adventure, but there is indeed a chance......
After all, now that Shengfan is only the vanguard arriving in the south, it will be a while before their main forces converge and rush to the central and eastern parts of Dayan, and the central and eastern regions of Dayan are already garrisoned by elite troops, and when the catastrophe sweeps in, they can also try to support for a while;
After all, when the northern army entered the plateau and joined up with friendly forces, the Yan people would have a clear advantage, and as long as the tactics were used properly, they might not be able to defeat the Uighur army in one fell swoop
If the powerful empire wants to continue the momentum of its rise, and wants to win the initiative as much as possible, sometimes it has to take risks Jingtai has made up his mind, and the discussion in the imperial study was quickly decided, and the holy decree and military order came out at the same time, and the army stationed in the north immediately began to march to the plateau to support Zhou Jing
The military order clearly stated that the reinforcements were in a hurry, and that all avoidable battles should be avoided on the way, and that the southern fire before leaving the pass and the territory of Metuo after leaving the pass should not be ignored, and only the fire should be marched, the Rinka battlefield should be reached as soon as possible, and the battle should be launched as soon as possible to storm the Uighurs
The army wants to grab time, and those small disasters really have no time to pay attention to, but what Jingtai doesn't know is that Nanhuo, who was hiding in the western Xinjiang before, doesn't need him to pay attention to it anymore, almost when Zheng Zhuan led people to conquer Hongyao, the porcelain doll took the initiative and left Dayan with Nanhuo, and returned to the plateau again, temporarily living in the territory of Motuo
Jingtai came out of the imperial study, and the expression on his face didn't see anything wrong, and only he knew that his heart was beating hard: think about it carefully, 'reinforcement of the Northern Army, first break through the Uighurs and then return to the aid of his country' is the most important decision he has made independently since he ascended the throne
The emperor wants to bet on this, and it is still impossible to see whether he wins or loses, but this feeling of fighting time and luck with God is really good
The little insect followed closely behind Jingtai, walking and walking, suddenly stumbled, stumbling on his left foot, wow fell a dog gnawing mud Jingtai was startled by him, stopped and wanted to help him, but the little insect was quick with his hands and feet, and he jumped up again without waiting for Banzai to bend over
Jingtai smiled: "You can wrestle on flat ground, what are you thinking about?" ”
The little insect slapped the dirt on his clothes, and his movements were very small and light, for fear that the dust would splash on Banzai's body, and at the same time replied with a bitter face: "I didn't think about anything, I was scared by Banzai's spirit."
Jingtai raised his eyebrows: "What, are you afraid that I will lose?" Afraid that the army will not be able to come back in time? ”
The little bug hurriedly shook his head: "Don't be afraid... It's going to be in time... It's just that this thing is too big, and my mind is not neat after hearing it, and my heart is up and down."
Jingtai laughed again: "Don't panic, I've figured it out... The key is not whether the two armies can come back in time, but that they have to win the battle of Rinka." Speaking of this, he asked the little bug: "In the face of domestic calamity, what kind of thoughts will the army fighting abroad have?" ”
The question was so simple that the little worm didn't even think about it, and immediately replied: "Everyone must fight desperately, play hard, and beat the Uighurs to death so that they can rush back to save the country."
"That's it, the domestic catastrophe is a great incentive for the foreign sons, and if they win the Uighur victory, it is naturally best that they can rush back in time, and it doesn't hurt if they can't catch up, don't forget that we still have 60,000 Jinxiu Lang in our hands, it's a big deal to transfer this team, and they will escort you and me to Tubo to join the army."
Jinxiulang is the elite of the Yan army, and his prestige spread all over the world as early as the founding of Yan Taizu
"Do you understand?" Jingtai continued to smile: "There are two of my armies on the plateau, as long as they defeat the Uighurs and join up with my splendid Lang, looking at the world, what other country can compete with this army of soldiers and horses?" It's a big deal, we will give up the eastern soil Dayan, base ourselves on the plateau, and then fight the world back."
"Occupy the plateau, enough to feed us, and then attack the desert, how can the Uighurs still have the ability to resist?"
The little worm grew its mouth and looked at the emperor in a daze, completely unsure of what to say
The emperor only needs the army, not the country? It's still a madman's idea, but I have to say that Jingtai's idea is very meritorious...... Send troops to the plateau, and if you can rush back, you will keep Dayan; If he dares not to return, at least there is still his army on the plateau, and there is Jinxiulang in the country, and the emperor will be able to get out of trouble as he said: the key is that the combined forces of the west and north can defeat the Uighur expeditionary force, so that even if the Great Yan is destroyed, Jingtai still has the most ferocious weapons in the world, and no one can compete with it (to be continued)
