"Your Majesty, that's basically how things happened!"

After Jiang Chuan told Wang Ze everything in detail, Wang Ze was dumbfounded when he heard it, victory could still come in such a way!

In the past few months, he has been dispatching troops and preparing for a big battle with the Sui army and the Turkic army here, but he didn't expect a sudden summer rainstorm to wipe out the entire Sui army by a great plague, and he no longer has the ability to attack him.

And Dulan Khan, who was about to attack Xiping County, was shocked and frightened when he learned the news that all the 300,000 Sui troops had suddenly died of illness.

Then he felt that since the Sui army had been destroyed, he had become the only target, and he had to urgently retreat back to the nest for fear of being attacked by the Xia army, and the Xia army of Xiping County, which was already ready to withdraw, did not have to retreat.

Wang Ze didn't know what to do at this moment, as if the two of them had made a move and used their greatest strength, but before they could knock down their opponents, they fell to the ground in advance and fell unconscious; It's not right to be happy, after all, Xia Guo has saved a lot of combat power and reduced a lot of losses.

At this moment, Wang Ze was depressed, of course, this did not mean that the other generals were unhappy.

"Your Majesty, this is good news!" Liang Qiutai, Li Shun and others looked at Wang Zedao with excitement on their faces, "Now that the 300,000 Sui army has been wiped out without a fight, this is exactly the time of the day, at this time, the morale of the Sui army will inevitably be low, if we take advantage of the situation to attack the counties of Liaoxi and Youzhou, we will definitely take it in a battle!" ”

As soon as Liang Qiutai and the two finished speaking, the other generals also had their eyes shining, the entire Sui Dynasty had just conquered Nanchen not long ago, and it still needed a large number of troops to garrison, and there were four counties in the Western Regions and four counties in Tuyuhun in the west, which needed to be garrisoned by large armies.

At this time, the entire Sui Empire can no longer use more than 200,000 troops, and the army in Youzhou and other places will inevitably not exceed 150,000 people.

"Your Majesty, or let's attack!" Even Chu Honghang, who has always only listened to orders, has his eyes shining at this time, this man who is already in his fifties is still full of energy when he hears about fighting, and once there is no fighting, he will be listless.

Wang Ze didn't reply immediately, he looked back at the map on the wall, and was speechless for a long time.

Seeing Wang Ze's silence, the other generals knew that this was the habit of their majesty, so they held their breath one by one and quietly waited for Wang Ze to make the final decision, no matter what the decision was, they would abide by it, which was the prestige accumulated by Wang Ze and them for thirty years.

"Generals, do you know what is a very important reason why our Xia Kingdom has become strong so quickly?" Wang Ze suddenly turned to everyone and asked.

The generals all know that this is not that Wang Ze needs everyone to answer his words, but that he has developed a habit of speaking over the years, and he is used to using such a rhetorical tone to talk to the generals, so they are silent one by one, and they still look like they are listening.

Seeing that none of the generals spoke, Wang Ze didn't care, he continued: "It is precisely because our Xia Kingdom was founded overseas in the past, and all the people who migrated were poor Han people, and there was no one from a family, so we didn't have any family constraints and were able to concentrate the strength of these ordinary people together!" ”

Seeing that the generals didn't understand their thoughts, Wang Ze continued: "The Central Plains has been in dispute for thousands of years, in fact, it is also a fundamental manifestation of the family's struggle for power and profit, if we attack Youzhou this time, or even the Central Plains, then how do we treat the family in the Central Plains?" ”

"If these families don't know each other, then kill them all!" Chu Honghang has always been known for having muscles in his brain, and this sentence is very in line with his character.

Wang Ze shook his head and said: "It's easy to kill them, but aren't you afraid that the scholars within the Sui Dynasty will die and be sad, and encourage the Sui Emperor to fight us to the end?" It seems that our combat effectiveness is indeed much stronger than that of the Sui army, but if we continue to consume it for a long time, our damage will not be small!

Although Yang Jian himself knows that this is the best time to attack us at this time, he has no way to continue the attack, he can only endure it, and if we can have more time to recuperate, it is also the most beneficial thing for us! ”

"So it's not time to go on a big offensive yet!" Wang Ze said and looked around at the generals and said, "I decided to only strictly guard the Liaoshui defense line, no longer attack the Sui Dynasty, and not make any contact with the Sui Empire, but the detailed work sent to the Sui Dynasty before must do a good job in every aspect of intelligence collection!" 518 Chinese Net

"Alas, it's Your Majesty!" Although according to Wang Ze's previous words, the generals already knew Wang Ze's attitude, but when they heard Wang Ze's final decision, the generals were still a little disappointed, but they still abided by Wang Ze's decision.

"Don't panic!" Wang Ze was really in a good mood at this time, and he smiled, "Although I said that I would not attack the Sui Dynasty, I did not say that I could not attack the Turks!" ”

Before Wang Ze's words fell, the generals who were originally listless were as excited as if they had been beaten at this moment, and they all looked at Wang Ze with expectant eyes, and they all wanted to participate in the war against the Turks.

Wang Ze can understand their hearts very well, since the previous defeat of the Turkic army attack, the Xia army has not had a major battle for several years, seeing that the youngest of the generals, Cao An, is also in his forties, and the other generals are also fifty or sixty years old, I can't figure out that this is the last time to participate in this big war.

Looking at the longing eyes of the generals, Wang Ze said slowly: "This time, Dulan Khan actually led an army of 300,000 to attack, if I didn't say anything, wouldn't I be afraid of him?" So this time we will not only attack the Turks with a large army, but also occupy a base in the steppe! ”

"Your Majesty, you can arrange it! Even if it is to attack the Turkic tent, I Lao Zhou will never blink an eye! "Zhou Duo has been in Sanqi in the past, so he has established a little less meritorious service, and this time I heard that he is going to start a war against the Turks, and it is also urgent.

"In this battle, the main direction of our Xia Kingdom's attack is not in the south, but in the north of the area around the North Sea and Gu Rongbo!" Wang Ze picked up the baton and pointed to the map on the wall and said, "The grassland is not a place where we Han people live and work in peace and contentment, as long as there is abundant water, we can build our own city and occupy this land!" ”

"You see, we only need to build three or five cities in the upper reaches of the water, all the way to Gurong Bo (Hulun Lake) and to the Fishing Sea (Bear Lake), then the large grasslands around here can become our territory, even if the Turks come to attack us, we will not lose!"

Wang Ze explained while saying: "At the beginning, we can use the natural waterway of Wanshui to connect here with the hinterland of our country, and in the future, we can also open up one or two roads that directly cross the entire Daxing'an Mountains, and there are ready-made rivers in between, which only need to be repaired!" ”

Wang Ze was referring to the Middle East Road in later generations, as well as the place where the two railways between Baicheng and Hailar River crossed, both of which followed the river in the Great Khing'an Mountains.

As long as these two roads are repaired along the river, it will be easy to support this fertile grassland from Shanglin County, and this grassland where the Xianbei people rose in the past will become the Xia Kingdom's own grassland.

"Your Majesty, this grassland is still the territory of the Ximurwei people, if we attack them, won't we bear the name of treachery!" Pei Jie was a little worried.

"What treachery!" Zhu Bofu laughed and patted him on the shoulder and said, "We heard that the Turks are attacking the territory of the allies of the Ximurwei people, so we led the army to help, and the Ximurwei people heard that our Xia Kingdom is living a good life, and begged us to take them in, so we reluctantly accepted them!" ”

"Sounds like something too much!" Pei Jie had a fever on his face, this reason is really a bit cheeky, but thinking about the behavior of the Omuro Wei and the Beimuro Wei people before, they were unwilling to belong before, and after being beaten, they are not living in harmony with Xia Guo now.

Cheng Hu stopped Pei Jie's shoulder and said with a smile: "Old Pei, you are too honest, when we Ah Weng followed the old proprietor to do that businessless business in Taishan, it was not under the banner of doing the right thing for the sky, we will treat these Ximurwei people well this time!" ”

When the generals heard the words of Zhu Bofu and Cheng Hu, they also smiled one by one, speaking of which their ancestors had been bandits and robbers for several generations, they really all had a banditry spirit, and the Shandong robbers and Shanxi thieves were not only scolding, but also a trace of their own bloody pride.

In fact, Wang Ze will not only expand in Gurong Bo this time, but will also continue to build and increase the cities and fortresses between Beihai and Yangwu City, and further strengthen the Xia State's management of this piece of land, and even he plans to migrate 100,000 Xia herdsmen here.

After all, in order to ensure the Xia State's jurisdiction over this steppe, it was necessary to increase the number of Han people, which was the fundamental factor in completely solving the threat of the nomadic people of the steppe, and Wang Ze would continue to strengthen his ties with the Qigu people in the western part of the Beihai in order to further expand westward.

If the Turks continue to retreat this time, the Xia State will already occupy a quarter of the entire steppe east of Jinshan, and the prestige of the Xia State will be further enhanced, and the Turkic strength, which has been much weakened, will decline even further.

Soon Wang Ze completed the deployment of troops, except for the 300,000 soldiers and horses along the Liaoshui coast and Xiping County, the other more than 200,000 troops were concentrated in the Wanshui Valley, and they would join the armies of Han Zigao and Li Hongyu to carry out the operation.

However, the change of things was very unexpected, just as the Xia army had just launched an attack on the Turks, there was another accident in the South and West Oceans.
