After the capture of Wendeng County, Jin Chunqiu and Zhou Zhou guarded the prisoners together to strengthen the city defense, and on the other hand, they sent people to Youzhou by boat to inform Li Chongjiu that he had captured Wendeng County and asked for reinforcements.
The messenger rushed from Wendeng to the mouth of the Sancha River by boat6, and after the county guard Zhou Bozhi heard about it, he sent it to the Linshuo Palace in Youjing with a fast horse with a speed of 100,000 yuan. In the Linshuo Palace, Wen Yanbo, Ji Chuan, Xue Wanshu, Chen Xiaoyi, Wang Qi, Lin Dangfeng and other ministers all arrived.
When everyone heard about Zhou Zhou, Jin Chunqiu changed his mind without authorization, and did not directly go to support Donglai County, but instead captured Wendeng County, and his reactions were different.
Chen Xiaoyi said very indignantly: "Your Majesty, this is an unauthorized assertion and violation of military orders, even if there is a big reason, it is not possible to change the decision made in Zhongshu Province, Jin Chunqiu is a Silla person, Zhou Zhou is an official of my Zhao State, he knows the law and understands the law, and he actually did this, and the minister Jian yƬ severely punished Zhou Zhou." ā
Xue Wanshu said on the side: "Chen Zaifu, now is not the time to hold anyone responsible, Jin Chunqiu, Zhou Zhou's surprise attack on Wendeng County has become a fact, it can be expected, the siege of Donglai County will be solved, although it has not been fully achieved, but it can also be fully advanced and retreated, and after Chun Yu lost his nest, he will inevitably counterattack, and our army will now inevitably send men and horses to climb 6 Wendeng from the sea, thinking that it is support, so as to be able to hold the land of Wendeng." ā
"It's nonsense," Chen Xiaoyi said, "the law is the law, and it can't be violated lightly." ā
Ji Chuan also spoke: "Weichen seconded the proposal, our army is preparing for a war against Liu Heimin, if it is stationed in Wendeng again." Isn't it a taboo for soldiers to divide troops in battle? ā
Lin Dangfeng said: "It may not be a division of troops, if it is to capture Donglai County." Not to mention that our army can obtain hundreds of sea-going ships and ships, and it can also threaten Liu Heimin from the east, so it is not a double win. ā
Although Lin Dangfeng is the head of the household, he also represents the interests of Zhao's domestic businessmen, so he said this. He also echoed Zhou Bo and captured Wendeng, which was equivalent to opening up the Sancha River estuary and Duli Town at the same time. Wendeng, the city of Dangxiang, connects the sea route at four o'clock.
In this way, merchant ships are less risky to go to sea, and it is easier to obtain supplies from the sea.
Li Chongjiu listened to the disputes of several important ministers there, and indeed the capture of Wendeng was for the future of Goguryeo, the formation of a grand strategy of encirclement on the sea, and the south of Yangzhou from the sea. It's definitely a big deal. But at present, the offensive effect of Liu Heimin is limited after all, and Zhou Zhoujin Chunqiu's self-made decision led Li Chongjiu's battle line in Shandong to lengthen, and he had to invest more troops.
Wendeng alone is not enough to succeed, and judging from the current situation, the food is tasteless. It's a pity to abandon it, unless the entire Donglai County is captured, then it is enough to threaten Liu Heimin in the west. Or with the power of Donglai County, you can send troops to the north at any time and open up the Bohai Sea with Li Chongjiu. The two counties of Beihai cover the entire Bohai Bay from the south.
In this way, the rich coastal land is all in hand. What room does Liu Heimin have to compete with Li Chongjiu.
Li Chongjiu tapped his index finger lightly at the moment and said, "How is the matter of the surrender of the county guard of Donglai County?" ā
Wang Jue arched his hand and said: "Qiao Jiao, the county guard of Donglai County, this person is loyal and martyrful, and he is not moved by outsiders. This time, Li Tang Beihai Governor Qi Gongshun and Liu Lan led 10,000 horses and horses to attack Donglai County on Li Yuan's orders. Before the siege, they had surrendered in the name of Li Yuan. But Qiao Jiao said, I am in the service of the Great Sui Zhengshuo, and I don't know what Li Tang is, so he refused verbally at the moment. ā
Li Chongjiu frowned and said: "So this Qiao Jiao is still a loyal minister, such a person is indeed not a threat, so he was forced to do so." ā
Wang Qi said: "Shandong Zhu anti-king, Jing from Li Tang, is the trend of the times, at the beginning only Donglai, Beihai two counties stubbornly defended, Qi Gongshun after breaking through Beihai County, only Donglai County remains, Donglai County nine counties, Qiao Jiao is actually only three counties, the rest of the counties are not Qi Gongshun, Wang Bo and others to break through, that is, as if Chun is in trouble, it is self-reliant. If Qiao Jiao continues to defend himself, I'm afraid he won't be able to support it for long, and I really don't know why he insists so much. ā
Xue Wan said: "Wang Shichong abolished the emperor in Luoyang, and wanted to usurp the throne as the emperor's heart, it is obvious that Qiao Jiao has no reason to serve Luoyang as Zhengshuo, I heard that his ancestor is a Sui Dynasty clan, it is better to order the king of Qi to repair a letter and persuade Qiao Jiao to surrender." Maybe it will work. ā
"There's no way to do this, just let King Qi repair a book." Li Chongjiu nodded and made a decision.
Li Chongjiu got up and said: "But everything must be done, Wendeng is already occupied, there is no reason to abandon it again, I decided to increase the army in Wendeng County by another 2,000, if Qiao Jiao is willing to surrender, then immediately according to Donglai County." If Qiao Jiao refuses to surrender, we can also try to persuade his naval generals to move all their ships to Wendeng, and the army will surrender to Wendeng County. Stop here and make every effort to prepare for the southern expedition to Liu Heimin. ā
The ministers listened to the careful discussion, and Wen Yanbo and others all said that this was feasible.
Li Chongjiu paused and said: "The attack on Wendeng in this battle is the union of our army and Silla. The edict was passed on, and the prince of Silla was rewarded Jin Chunqiu, and he was named the general of Huyalang, and he was given a hundred pieces of silk and two hundred pieces of money. ā
All the ministers leaned over and said, "Wechen takes the order." ā
After the ministers retired, Li Chongjiu was about to walk to the palace to accompany Emperor Yang E, who was pregnant, when he told Zhang Xuansu, the squire of the Chinese scholar, to come.
Li Chongjiu thought that Zhang Xuansu should be because of the rebellion against Dou Jiande's old department, and finally had an eyebrow. In the past month, Zhang Xuansu has not given him the slightest news, and the other party has acted mysteriously, and even Li Chongjiu refuses to reveal anything. Li Chongjiu went to Zhongshu Province to summon Ji Chuan and Xue Wanshu, and he met Zhang Xuansu in the study.
Zhang Xuansu walked inside, saluted Li Chongjiu and said, "Meet the king." ā
Li Chongjiu saw that Zhang Xuansu's expression was very good, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "Zhang Aiqing, you don't have to go to court this month, you must be well maintained at home." ā
Zhang Xuansu said with a smile: "Back to the king, Weichen is doing well, get up every morning, sit quietly for a while to nourish his qi, then move his hands and feet, eat a light breakfast, eat a seasonal lunch at noon, and take a nap......"
Ji Chuan, who was on the side, heard Zhang Xuansu say a lot, and said with a sneer: "Zhang Shilang, you are really nourishing, but I don't know where you put the important things entrusted by the king, and how to do it?" ā
Zhang Xuansu knew that Ji Chuan liked to find fault with himself, and said: "Ji Shilang is polite, this matter seems to be reported directly to the king, Ji Shilang has no right to ask." ā
Seeing Zhang Xuansu's indifferent appearance, Ji Chuan said even more angrily in his heart: "Now that the king has summoned me and others to come here, I have the right to ask each other, I don't know how many generals Zhang Shilang has against Liu Heimin?" How many people are there in the history of assassination? How many ministers are there? ā
Zhang Xuansu said: "There is no one. ā
This will even Xue Wanshu's face changed slightly, Ji Chuan sneered and said: "Good Zhang Shilang, I heard that Zhang Shilang is not secretive, and the matter of our army's attack on Liu Heimin in September this year is known to everyone, so that Liu Heimin is now prepared in advance." If this matter is caused by Zhang Shilang's mistake, not to mention the imperial history, I, Ji Chuan, will definitely refer to you again. ā
Zhang Xuansu smiled slightly when he heard this, and said: "Ji Shilang, don't worry, it is precisely because of this matter that Weichen came to tell the king." ā
"Zhang Aiqing, please speak." Li Chongjiu said.
Zhang Xuansu replied: "Your Majesty, Liu Heimin is not an unscrupulous general, at present, his main force of soldiers and horses leads one in person, his younger brother Liu Shishan leads one, and the general Zhang Junli leads one, and as for the rest, Dong Kangmai, Cao Zhan, Gao Yaxian, Wang Xiaohu, Liu Ya, and Cheng Mingzhen each lead soldiers and horses, but the number is not much. ā
Xue Wan said: "Liu Shishan and Zhang Junli are Liu Heimin's henchmen, and if they can't rebel, then others should too?" ā
Zhang Xuansu smiled and said, "I have some confidence in the rest of the generals, but I don't need to do that for the time being. ā
Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "Zhang Shilang must have a clever plan. ā
Zhang Xuansu said: "I can't talk about a clever plan, since I let out the wind to attack Liu Heimin." At present, Liu Heimin is heavy troops in the tun of Zhaozhou, and repairs the city, obviously intends to hold on to this, in order to resist our army, but also to resist the advantage of our cĒo original cavalry, in order to avoid the unfavorable situation of the decisive battle on the plains, if our army goes south, the soldiers, horses, money and food are insufficient, even if they can rebel against several of their generals, attack the city. But in the end, it is necessary to conquer Zhaozhou, go to the army to attack and plan, then attack the enemy, and then attack the army, and then attack the city. ā
"If our army attacks Zhaozhou, and finally falls from the war to the city, in case it does not conquer the city, as long as Liu Heimin guards until winter, and when our army is exhausted and retreats, he can take over the lost land in a big way, and even pursue our army, so if he does not conquer the state, the land will be lost after all."
Xue Wanshu couldn't help but echo when he heard this: "What I said is that there are clouds in the book of soldiers, siegers, repairing the oars, and having equipment, and it will be completed in March; It's been three months. It will be overwhelming and the ants will possess it, kill one-third of the soldiers, and those who will not pull out the city will also be attacked by this disaster. If you can not cut down the city, it is better not to cut down all of them. ā
Ji Chuan also agreed with Zhang Xuansu's point of view when he heard Xue Wanshu, and said immediately: "You neither plot against General Liu Jun, nor do you want to attack the city, will Liu Heimin sit there plainly and take the initiative to surrender?" It's ridiculous. ā
Zhang Xuansu said: "Liu Heimin will not take the initiative to surrender, I don't know what Ji Shilang thinks of Liu Heimin?" ā
Ji Chuan said: "Fan Xu's generation. ā
Zhang Xuansu shook his head and said: "If it is Fan Xu, how can he make all the soldiers of Dou belong to him, in my opinion, Liu Heimin is a person, a figure like Liu." If you want to break the enemy, you must first break the fighting spirit and confidence of its main general, so as to shake the heart of its army. ā
Li Chongjiu said: "Lone understands, Zhang Shilang wants to divide the relationship between Liu Heimin and his generals, and never defend his ambition to defend the state, right?" ā
Zhang Xuansu nodded and said, "Exactly." ā
