CHAPTER XXIX
In addition, it can also expose the spies hidden in the Ming and Zhou countries.
And this bait is Baili Wuji and Chai Rong, perhaps, there is nothing more attractive to Liao than these two.
It is impossible to attract the attention of the Liao generals to the new army, without matching the chips with absolute confusing power.
If the Liao State really gets information from the hidden spies of the Ming State, then it will gather all its strength to fight a decisive battle with the New Army, and even use various methods to destroy and strike at the New Army to the greatest extent.
Although the losses of the new army on the battlefield were inevitable, Baili Wuji always wanted to minimize the losses of the new army, so attracting the attention of the Liao State to himself may play the finishing role in the whole battle situation.
This strategy is by no means a conspiracy, but a conspiracy, Baili Wuji does not intend to keep any secrets, that is, to openly let the Liao State know that he will appear in one place with the Emperor of the Zhou State, that is, Yan Yun.
The sixteen states of Yanyun form a narrow strip from west to east, the south is the state of Zhou, from the sixteen states of Yanyun alone, there is no depth of defense, except for the ancient north, the monolith pass and a few passes built by virtue of the topography, there is no special defense, the Liao State has broken through Yanyun several times in the past few decades, and has already had a deep understanding of the topography of Yanyun when it was occupied in the Later Jin Dynasty.
Baili Wuji chose to be here, that is, to clearly tell Liao Guo, "If you don't come, I'm here; Come, I'm here. ”
The biggest highlight of this plan is that once the Liao State decides to attack Yanyun. If you plot Baili Wuji and Chai Rong, then you must transfer troops from the stalemate battlefield in the west, otherwise you will only rely on the defenders of Dading Mansion. It is impossible to break through the 80,000 defenders of Yanyun and Chen Yanzheng. In this way, the Liao army in the western battlefield is bound to weaken, which may make the Ming army and the Zhou army in the west fully capable of counterattacking, and even both countries have the ability to counterattack alone.
If the Liao State ignores Yanyun's Baili Wuji and Chai Rong, then I'm sorry, Yan Yun's 80,000 Ming army and the 25,000 Zhou army of Zhou Chengde Jiedu who made Wu Xingwen stationed in Zhenzhou will turn fiction into reality and launch an attack on Dadingfu north of the Luan River in Liao.
The Liao State originally hoarded Yelu Shuogu's 80,000 tribal troops and 50,000 leather room troops in Dading Mansion. With such military strength, the Ming and Zhou countries could not be shaken even if they were united, but after Yelu Shuogu led 40,000 tribal troops and 20,000 leather room troops to be defeated by the Ming army. The strength of the defenders of Dadingfu was weakened by nearly half, so that the 80,000 Ming army of Chen Yanzheng of the Ming State and the 25,000 Zhou army of Wu Xingwen of the Zhou State were fully capable of a head-to-head battle with the Liao army of Dadingfu.
Dading Mansion and Liao State Shangjing Linhuang Mansion are only separated by the Huang River. Baili Wuji gambled that the Liao State would not dare to risk the capital being attacked by enemy soldiers.
So. Liao was unwilling and had to transfer troops to block Yan Yunming's army.
That is to say, in Baili Wuji's plan, regardless of whether the Liao State is attracted by Baili Wuji or not, it is a foregone conclusion that the Liao army will be transferred from the west back to Dading Mansion to defend Dadingfu, and the difference lies in the strength of the transfer.
But there are two prerequisites for the implementation of this plan, one is that Chai Rong needs to cooperate, and the other is that Xu Shiming needs to cooperate, after all, the emperor returns to Beijing. There is a precedent for being trapped in the Western Regions last time, and it may be more difficult to persuade Xu Shiming and the three of them than to ask Chai Rong to cooperate.
Sure enough. As soon as Baili Wuji said the plan, he was unanimously opposed by the three ministers of the Ming Kingdom.
"The emperor took the risk himself, so how could the ministers deal with themselves? The minister did not dare to obey in vain. Sun Guangxian immediately said, as one of the three prime ministers of the Ming Kingdom, after the last Jinling Mansion rebellion, Sun Guangxian has clearly understood the truth that Baili Wuji must not leave Beijing, the land can be recovered if it is lost, and the army can be formed again. Sun Guangxian has already made up his mind to pay attention, this time he can't let Baili Wuji leave Beijing no matter what.
Feng Dao rarely wanted to take the initiative to speak, but was preempted by Sun Guangxian, and when Sun Guangxian finished speaking, Feng Dao squinted his triangular mouse eyes and said leisurely: "The Holy Lord established the Ming Kingdom, recovered Yanyun and Hexi, pacified the Wu Dynasty, Beigang, Fusang and Goryeo, throughout the ages, there are few people who can match them, why bother to grab these feats with the courtiers?" The minister thought that the saint's plan was very good, but sending important courtiers could also achieve the goal, so it was better for the saint to give this merit to his subordinates. ”
"Uh......." Baili Wuji was choked by Feng Dao's words, this was originally a dangerous thing, but Feng Dao said that it was a merit that was easy to obtain, so it cut off the back road for Baili Wuji to continue to persevere.
Xu Shiming took the opportunity to say: "The focus of the emperor's strategy is Yangmou, which is to make Liao Guoming know that it is a plan, and he has to be mobilized by the Ming army and turn to Yanyun, since this is the case, why should the emperor go to danger in person, even the emperor of Zhou does not need to go to danger, and the minister thinks that only one general of the Ming State is enough to be competent." ”
Baili Wuji was speechless, and they all said that as soon as a woman entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, in fact, the emperor was the same, and now he really wanted to find an excuse to go out and walk, which was really not an easy thing to do.
Baili Wuji didn't want to argue with the three of them, and it would be a matter of grabbing credit with the courtiers.
"So, the general who went north, can there be any candidates for the three Aiqing?"
"Uh......." Xu Shiming and the three of them exchanged glances with each other, this general in the DPRK and the central government, those who are slightly capable have all been transferred to the new army by Baili Wuji, and at this time, they want to find a commander who can command and coordinate the Ministry of Yanyun Chen Yanzheng and Zhou Guowu's Ministry of Culture, and it is really impossible to say it all at once.
Baili Wuji smiled proudly in his heart, but there was a helpless expression on his face, and he sighed: "How? Now that the Ming Kingdom is in turmoil, and the generals of the DPRK and China have long been scattered everywhere, it is difficult to find a qualified and powerful general who goes north? ”
Xu Shiming and the three of them thought for a long time, and finally couldn't find a qualified general, so they had no choice but to make concessions to Baili Wuji, but the three of them agreed with Baili Wuji that Baili Wuji could only sit in Ying and Mo and command the Yanyun War, so that even if there was an accident in the war, the emperor could calmly retreat from Cangzhou of Zhou State, and he would never be divided and surrounded by the enemy army like last time in the Western Regions.
Baili Wuji looked helpless and said: "Feng Xiang, in this way, it's not that I want to grab merit with my courtiers, it's really a helpless move." ”
Feng Dao bowed his head, but he didn't know how much he had slandered in his stomach.
The matter of Baili Wuji's going north was decided, but the matter of going north with Chai Rong needed to communicate with Zhou Guo.
But at present, the Ming and Zhou countries are in a diplomatic dispute, not to mention that Baili Wuji still wants to take advantage of this war to expose the hidden spies of the Ming and Zhou countries, so it is imperative to meet with Chai Rong in person. (To be continued......)
