Chapter 147

"It's too much of a deception! It's too much of a deception! ”

"Zhong Aiqing, do you think you will fight or not?"

"This..."

Seeing that the Tang Emperor was stunned, looking like he was going to fight with Da Chu for life and death, all the faces of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces froze.

They know very well that Da Chu is the first powerful country in the world, with millions of soldiers and countless generals.

If you rashly start a war with Dachu, with the national strength of Datang, you will not be able to compete with it at all.

"Why are Zhong Aiqing staggered? The book of the military department! Emperor Tang shouted.

Named by the Tang Emperor, Su Dingguo, who was the secretary of the Ministry of War, stepped forward and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Da Chu's move is a deliberate provocation, so as to induce my Tang Dynasty to go out of the army, but in the eyes of the old minister, Da Chu is a plan to lure the enemy, which belongs to the law of agitation, and the old minister thinks that it is absolutely impossible to fight!" ”

"Why not fight?" Emperor Tang looked angry.

Su Dingguo explained: "Your Majesty, do you remember the battle with Da Chu three years ago? Jingzhou City is the first line of defense of my Datang Dynasty, easy to defend and difficult to attack! At that time, Hou Ye Yuanba, the champion of Great Chu, personally led an army of 300,000 to attack the city! ”

Remember the URL

"And I, Datang, raised the strength of the whole country and gathered 500,000 troops, but it didn't hold out for a month before the whole line was defeated, and the combat effectiveness of the two countries is not at the same level at all."

"Isn't it?" Hearing this, Tang Yu's gaze gradually became dull.

The art of war clouds, ten are to surround it, five are to attack it, and if it is doubled, it will be able to fight, and the enemy will be able to divide it, and if it is less, it can be defended, and if it is not, it can be avoided.

Three years ago, Datang gathered 500,000 soldiers and horses for defense, but it was actually broken by the 300,000 army of Dachu in less than a month.

Tang Yu couldn't tell for a while, whether it was the combat effectiveness of the Great Chu army that was too strong, or the Tang army that was too vegetable.

Normally, a 500,000 army fights a 300,000 army, and there is definitely enough advantage in a head-to-head confrontation, let alone a 500,000 army defending the city.

Su Dingguo, the secretary of the Ministry of War, continued: "In the past three years, Da Chu has repeatedly attacked cities and villages, invading many cities in other countries, if Da Chu is determined to fight with my Datang, Da Chu can mobilize 1.2 million troops, and my Da Tang has been recuperating for three years, and the current army can only barely gather 400,000!" ”

"There is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, this is one of them!"

"Second, three years ago, my Datang was defeated and lost the first line of defense, Jingzhou City, Jingzhou City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if our Datang forces Jingzhou City this time, we will definitely lose our troops and generals!"

"The third is that Jingzhou City is currently defending the city is Hou Ye Yuanba, the champion of Great Chu, before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince killed Ye Yuanba's younger brother Ye Yuanji with a secret weapon, maybe Ye Yuanba is preparing to wait for the Tang Dynasty to send troops, and then wait for the opportunity to invade my Datang territory!"

In the end, Lao Chen also learned that Da Chu was continuously reinforcing the Seven Roads army to Jingzhou City, and by that time, Jingzhou City had gathered 600,000 troops of Da Chu! Not to mention attacking the city, even if it is a head-to-head confrontation, my Datang 400,000 army can't defeat the 600,000 army of Dachu! ”

"Therefore, Lao Chen thinks that it is not too late to send troops when the wind is calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky, and in a few years, when my Tang soldiers are strong and strong, it will not be too late to send troops!"

As the secretary of the military department, Su Dingguo knows the situation between the two countries very well, and he knows that if this battle starts, Datang will definitely not have any advantage.

"yes, yes! Your Majesty, what Su Lao said is extremely true! ”

"Da Chu is to induce me to send troops to the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty must not be fooled!"

"Once the war starts, my Datang treasury will inevitably suffer huge losses, Dachu is the first power in the world, and we can't afford to spend it with others!"

When Su Dingguo, the secretary of the Ministry of War, finished speaking, hundreds of civil and military officials in the court echoed him.

"Don't you plan to go to war?" Emperor Tang was furious.

Immediately, Tang Huang looked at Tang Long: "Boss, you were the commander of the battle three years ago, and now Da Chu is provoking again, do you think to fight or not?" ”
