This is a surprise attack, which can completely catch Hu Guo off guard, and after Mingzhu disagreed, many people said that Zhu gave up a great opportunity.

The other faction thinks that Mingzhu is right, because Su Mu's strategy is too risky, because it is an extremely challenging strategy, which is no different from Han Xin's dark Chen Cang back then.

But the most important thing in fighting a war is to be surprising, and to be surprising is to win.

Ming Zhu kept saying that he wanted to go on a northern expedition, but he didn't adopt the idea proposed by Su Mu in the end.

However, Mingzhu is first and foremost a politician.

When a politician makes a military deployment, he first calculates the political account, and war is a continuation of politics, and the purpose of war is all political purpose.

Therefore, Mingzhu first calculated the political account.

The goal of Mingzhu's Northern Expedition was to get rid of the north and get rid of the Hu State.

However, this goal was not achieved.

Because Hu is not a country of quick death, after Ziyang's death, Hu was overjoyed, and many people in Hu wrote to Mingzhu, persuading him not to resist stubbornly and surrender quickly.

However, Mingzhu did not reply, he just said, "It is invincible to refuse justice and be guilty." ”

He believed that as long as they held justice in their hands and Hu was guilty, they would definitely win and succeed.

However, he did not make it clear that Hu Guo was innocent.

At this time, the world is in turmoil, the princes are divided, and the people are not living.

Only when the world is unified can the people live and work in peace and contentment again.

Only then can society be stable and develop, and under such circumstances, it is the right person who can calm the world and unify the world.

Today, the three kingdoms of Hu, Ziguo, and Lu are established, and all three want to restore the unification of the world.

It can be said that all three of them are on the right path.

In the face of Hu Gong, it can be said that he is guilty of refusing the right path, but what about Haicheng and Sangfeng?

Haicheng and Sang Feng can not be guilty at all, but Ziguo still seized other people's territory.

Ziguo seized Haicheng and Fengzhou, and it cannot be said that it relied on the right path.

This is nothing more than a political slogan, not true at all.

It can be used to boost the morale of the military and civilians of the sub-country, but to say that this is true, it is not right.

On the road to the founding of the country, Hu Guo also walked bumpy and difficult along the way, but it was not because they were guilty, but because they did not have the support of the scholars.

The scholars did not like Hu Lan's meritocracy, because this move excluded many people from the scholars.

Therefore, Hu Yun knew very well that if he wanted to get the support of the scholars, he had to abolish the meritocracy that his father had established before.

So, as soon as he took over the position from Hu Lan's hands, Hu Yun ordered the restoration of the Jiuping Zhongzheng system.

Through the Jiuping Zhongzheng system, it can be guaranteed that these scholars can be officials for generations, and through this method, they can bargain with the scholars and reach political deals, so now Hu Yun has won the support of the scholars through this system.

The reason why Ming Zhu didn't take Su Mu's suggestion was because he knew very well that now the national army of Hu State was not a faint king, and the generals were all talents, and they were not so easy to be eliminated.

Moreover, Toyoshu is characterized by being easy to defend and difficult to attack, surrounded by lofty mountains and mountains, with plains in the middle, evergreen in all seasons, fertile fields for thousands of miles, and abundant products.

Toyosu is suitable for evacuation and defense, but if you want to take the initiative, it will be very difficult.

Therefore, this is also the reason why Ziyang must seize Fengzhou.

But after entering Fengzhou and losing Haicheng, Ziguo not only walked into a secret room where he could protect himself, but also walked into a dead end with no way out.

It's okay to recuperate, but it's very difficult to win the world.

Li Ruwei said lightly: "Therefore, as long as the sub-country sends troops, it will definitely fail." This is the reason why Mingzhu has achieved nothing every time he sends troops over the years, because this is not something that can be decided by manpower at all, and the regime of the sub-country, as destined, can only be dominated by a corner. ”

The so-called Central Plains is not up to others, which is a limitation of objective conditions.

Jiang Yunfeng said: "Moreover, Mingzhu is not a general, his political talent is higher than his military talent, and in his military talent, the ability to govern the army is higher than the ability to use soldiers." ”

Li Ruwei nodded and said: "Mingzhu, governing the army and governing the country are first-class, but being able to govern the army is not the same as being able to use soldiers, he has great ambitions, but he can't seize the opportunity, he has a lot of strategies, but he is not decisive, he likes to lead troops to fight, but he doesn't know how to improvise." He can only fight regular battles in a proper manner. ”

Mingzhu is such a smart person, in fact, he is also very aware of his talents.

During the first Northern Expedition, he still had some confidence in himself, but he was also very cautious and did not use Su Mu's strategy.

He is self-aware and knows where his strengths are and where his weaknesses are.

However, he knew that his Northern Expedition would definitely fail, but he was still determined to go on the Northern Expedition.

Because, this is something that cannot be helped.

The inside must be the outside, and the internal troubles are full of troubles, because their internal is composed of three forces, and now it is the autumn of critical survival.

Under such circumstances, Mingzhu could only govern the country according to the law at home and wage war externally, which was beneficial to diverting attention, strengthening cohesion, and suppressing reactionaries.

Moreover, among the Hu countries, the sub-countries, and the land countries, the sub-countries are the weakest, and if a weak country wants to survive, it can only work hard.

Mingzhu knew very well that even if they didn't attack the Hu State, they would perish, and instead of sitting here and waiting for death, it was better to fight.

Take offense as defense, consolidate and survive and wait for the time to advance.

On the one hand, you can defend yourself, and on the other hand, if you have the opportunity in the process of attacking, you will not miss it.

Opportunities have always been reserved for those who are prepared, and in order to seize them, it is necessary to keep the sub-national regime in a state of war at all times.

Moreover, Mingzhu is a person with ideals.

An idealist, as long as he has the opportunity, even if it is only a slight chance, he will definitely seize this opportunity to realize his ideals.

It's just that Mingzhu's ideals have not changed, but the situation in this world has already changed.

Mingzhu's original plan was to grasp Haicheng and Fengzhou, and then, when the opportunity came, he would start from Haicheng all the way and start from Fengzhou all the way.

Now there is no change in the world, and Haicheng is lost because of mistakes.

As soon as the situation changes, the strategy should change with it.

It is necessary to adhere to the Northern Expedition, but when it comes to concrete actions, it is also necessary to be cautious and foolproof.

Because the 100,000 army led by Mingzhu is the lifeblood of the sub-country.

He must not be desperate, put 100,000 troops into the battlefield, and gamble heavily, it is a bandit to do, but Mingzhu can't.

When making the decision of the Northern Expedition, Mingzhu had a lot of last resort, and these complicated situations could not be told to Su Mu and others.
