Chapter 331: At the Mercy of Others (1)
The war in the north has not started, the situation in the west is undecided, and now the country is at its peak, and it should not be afraid of any foreign enemies, but because of a Zhang family, the situation on both sides is now undecided.
Yin Gaosui thought about the war in the north, but he didn't expect that he would really dare to fight with Chengguo when he went to Shuiguo.
After all, for so many years, the two countries have fought against each other, and there have been occasional frictions, but there has been no big fight.
This is also the disaster left by Emperor Taizu of Chengguo, after all, at that time, it was clear that Chengguo had the ability to completely destroy the previous dynasty, but I don't know for what reason, so I delayed this matter.
This is not recorded in the history books, and no one knows why Emperor Gaozu withdrew his troops from the north at that time.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the confrontation in the north does not know how long it will take, and there is no news from the envoys of Chengguo in Yueguo.
After everything was ready, Yin Gaoce was relieved, even if there was a war between the two places, Chengguo would be able to deal with it.
It can be seen that the heyday of Chengguo at this time is only the only thing that Yin Gaosui didn't expect was why he only stationed troops in the water country and did not have soldiers.
If Yin Gaosui hadn't returned to the front line at that time and went to the Water Country to declare war directly on Chengguo, he might still be the first to take a few cities in Chengguo, after all, he won by surprise, and this might as well be a good way.
But now it's just a matter of fighting with Chengguo, which is a bit confusing to Yin Gaosui.
The north is cold, and if there is no supply of food and grass, it is difficult to support so many soldiers here for a long time.
Chengguo doesn't need to worry much, even if the north is now entering late autumn and there is no supply of grain and grass, but Chengguo has a south that is like spring all year round.
If you fight a war of attrition, you will definitely not last long when you go to the water country.
However, the current situation made Yin Gaosui quite worried, in the state of sufficient food and grass, he really didn't want to take the lead in launching an attack on the water country.
These generals are accustomed to defensive warfare, and they really don't know anything about attacking the enemy, and besides, they don't know what the situation is when they go to the water country, so they really don't dare to rush forward.
One of the most important reasons is that the mountains of the two countries are a natural barrier.
In the north in late autumn, there have been several heavy snowfalls, and if there is not enough food and grass, it will cost a lot of things just to withstand the severe cold.
But looking at the military camp that went to the water country, it was the tun army that began to continue at this time, and according to the report from the spies ahead, the number of military camps going to the water country has increased by hundreds.
Seeing this situation, Yin Gaosui could only begin to ask the imperial court for orders and send reinforcements.
As the current nominal commander of the three armed forces, Yin Gaosui has handed over his rights to His Majesty the Emperor's deputy marshal, intentionally or unintentionally.
Now he only attends when he occasionally summons the generals to issue combat missions, and now Yin Gaosui is already in the barracks and his heart is in the capital.
When I returned to the north this time, I didn't bring my princess and my children over, I thought that I would go to Shuiguo to come over and have a small fight with Chengguo as usual, and then withdraw from the army, and then be safe.
It's just that this time, Yin Gaosui will obviously not be given the opportunity to return to his hometown.
If it weren't for the reward promised by His Majesty the Emperor, Yin Gaosui would want to hand over all this to the emperor's generals now, and then return to Beijing by himself, take his princess and children, and start to travel to Chengguo and be a pair of immortal couples.
"Lord Wang, the spies on the front line have something to report!"
"Tell the generals to come to my tent and let the spies in."
When the generals arrived at Yin Gaosui's camp, the spies had already told Yin Gaosui the news they had heard from the front line.
At this time, the generals had already come to the camp, and the spy naturally had to repeat the news he had heard.
"What do you generals think?"
For no other reason, I went to the water country to increase my troops again, and almost 100,000 people have gathered here, and this time the increase is close to more than 20,000 people, and they are camped behind the front line, obviously because they don't want to have anything to do with the camp they are stationed there now.
The people who exchanged opinions would definitely have differences, and in order to avoid getting into trouble, Yin Gaosui directly let them decide the current matter by themselves.
With the existence of the deputy marshal, Yin Gaosui also cleared his responsibilities early, and now in the hearts of the generals, he, the King of Xuanqing, is a mascot, and the situation is the same as when he first came here five years ago.
At that time, Yin Gaosui came to the barracks, that is, a mascot, the old general of the Zhang family, but he was dissatisfied with him in every way, even if he was a marshal and had the title of a prince.
After leaving the barracks, Yin Gaosui walked alone to the hill where the two armies were facing each other, looking at the military camp of the Water Country on the other side, not knowing what the people on the other side were thinking now.
stretched his waist, he hoped that when he was there, the other side would not take the initiative to provoke, and wait until the deputy marshal took over completely, without begging His Majesty the Emperor to let him return to Beijing, and His Majesty the Emperor would be afraid that he would change his mind and be recalled.
Xiao Qi in the capital has now changed into winter clothes, although the emperor did not let her leave the courtyard, but the Zhang family did not dare to deduct Xiao Qi here because of this Xiao Qi's matter.
Of course, it is not excluded that the Zhang family does not want to be tongue-in-cheek now, after all, the inner guards guarding next to Xiao Qi's courtyard are all acting according to Xiao Qi's orders.
These people of the Zhang family didn't get orders from above, and looking at this, they didn't dare to offend Xiao Qi.
Delicious, delicious, easy to wear, easy to use, everything, this is much more comfortable than the previous days, in the past few months, Ai Yaya and Xiao Qi have a rich state, fat figure, so that Xiao Qi is no longer as pitiful as before.
"Miss, do you think we will stay in this courtyard for the rest of our lives?"
"You're not happy that there are free stuff every day? You see, you've gained a lot more weight these days than you did when you first arrived. ”
Ai Yaya pinched the fine flesh on her waist and said, "Hey, Miss, this can't be described as a lot fatter." ”
Xiao Qi didn't care about this at all, at first he started from simple help, but now as long as the guard brother outside can do something, he has not refused.
So much so that now, Xiao Qi has not picked anything from the beginning, and now, he has begun to pick and choose.
These days, after the big brother of the guard gets acquainted with himself, there is more room for maneuver, so these natural people are not allowed to enter, and his eldest sister Zhang Li can come to see him.
Of course, Xiao Qi wants to go out, and there is no discussion at all, but Ai Yaya has no restrictions recently.
It's just that Ai Yaya said when she could go out, but after she knew that she could go out, she didn't really implement it, and she didn't know what this Nizi was thinking.
Although Zhang Li can come to the courtyard, she just doesn't come often, and coming once every ten days is a lot, Xiao Qi doesn't blame her, now she is the person who His Majesty the Emperor personally said to take care of.
Naturally, no one will go to your majesty at this time.
"Miss, what do you say about this Yue Guo, it was rumored a few months ago that he was going to be an important person with Chengguo, it has been so long, why is there no news now."
"Yue Guo and I have been friends for a hundred years, of course I will not be in a hurry to do it at this time, besides, I think this news is a fake, and there is no benefit for Yue Guo to go to war with us now."
"Huh? Miss, how do you know that the Yue Kingdom will not go to war with us? ”
"You think, now Chengguo is the peak of the country's wealth and people's strength, but the Yue country has begun to decline, at this time there is no benefit to a war with the Chengguo, if it is not right, those ten groups in Chengguo and Yue are colluding, and in the future, it is a problem whether the Yue country exists or not."
"But now there is a northern country going to the water, if two countries are attacking the country at the same time, this is not a good sign!"
"Although we don't know what the situation outside is now, but looking at the big brother of the guard outside, I can guess that there is no war now, but for so long, there are no gongs and drums outside, and the big brother of the guard is not happy, so there is no army triumphant."
"Since there is no war and no victory, then now either the two armies face each other, or they go back to their respective homes."
"These two results, we will not be afraid of the country, we can provide a steady stream of supplies for the front line in the south, but it is impossible to go to the water country, the north to the water country, there is only summer and autumn in a year, and this grain and grass are only prepared for these two times."
"According to this speculation, the war will start in the spring of next year at the latest, or they will go back to their respective homes."
"Miss, what's going on?"
"The northern country does not have such a good advantage as our country, if we don't retreat, we will have to work the people and lose money, use the grain and grass accumulated over the years, and really want to fight with the country."
"Then what if you really want to fight Chengguo?"
Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, sighed, then pondered for a moment, and said: "That shouldn't be, the reason why Emperor Taizu didn't recover the reason why he went to the Water Country at that time, Xiao Qi didn't know, but it was also said in the book that the place where he went to the Water Country could not support a large-scale battle in the Water Country." ”
"If you really want to fight to the end with Chengguo, there is no problem for us to become a country, but going to the water country is a war to gamble on the fortunes of the country."
Ai Yaya didn't know whether she understood or didn't understand, anyway, it was a little strange to look at Xiao Qi.
"Miss, where did you know this?"
Xiao Qi's expression was a little embarrassed, he pointed to the books on the side, and said, "Don't hide it, those books are about becoming a country and going to the water country, and I guessed it from those books." ”
Ai Yaya looked at the pile of books with great disgust, and said, "These are not scripts, why can you read them so seriously, Miss." ”
But then Ai Yaya asked herself and said, "Because it's boring." ”
