Chapter 920: It's up to you
Regardless of whether the Rus would go south or not, this operation against the northeast must be carried out, and they have been fully prepared and prepared for the worst anyway.
As the saying goes, it is in the people who make things happen, and the success is in the sky, and the rest is left to fortune to arrange, at least Xiao Chen's luck has always been good.
However, fighting a war cannot rely on luck, especially when it comes to a specific battle, it is necessary to make detailed plans and careful arrangements.
Now the northern army has to face an enemy several times its size, and it is even more cautious, otherwise if you are not careful, you will lose everything!
Xiao Chen doesn't care about these, and he doesn't understand anything, after several actual battles, he understands a little bit, but compared to professionals like Wanyan Pingqiu, it's too far behind, it's better to keep silent than to make jokes and annoy.
This is where Xiao Chen is smart, but as long as he understands, he will not hesitate to make decisions, no matter who opposes it, he will insist on going his own way!
But if he doesn't understand something, he will never interfere, such as local affairs, military affairs, and trade affairs...... He never came and would not interfere, and he rarely asked, all of them were handed over to the old man, Zhuge Xiaosheng, Dugulou, and Wen Chengxu.
He solves the problems that need to be solved, but he will never create problems for others. In fact, this is a very simple way to employ people, don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people, it's easy to say, but some people can't do it.
This operation was actually a joint operation, and it was also the first time that Dugulou and Wanyan Pingqiu's master and apprentice cooperated in actual combat.
Dugulou knew that this battle was of great significance, so he personally commanded in Jinsha City, and the 20,000 soldiers he brought with him all secretly changed positions and theoretically joined the sequence of the Northern Guard.
So nominally, he Dugulou still has to be controlled by Yan Pingqiu, the leader of the alliance.
Xiangwu Shenxue and his generals agreed that Yanyun County would not send troops to Helan, the reason is very simple, he Xiao Chen does not have the strength to start a war with Dongying at present, and the two sides are still in the honeymoon period, even if he wants to send troops, it will be nameless.
In fact, Xiangwu still hopes that Xiao Chen can send troops, in that case, he can directly take down Yanyun County!
In fact, within Dongying, the debate about Yanyun County has never been broken, and a large part of them believe that they should send troops to occupy Yanyun County and rule the entire northern border! This is of great significance for their future strategic development.
First of all, the strategic location of Yanyun County is extremely important, as long as Yanyun is occupied, it can be in the southeast, both land and water to clamp down on the Rus, and Yanyun County has an excellent port of tailwind, and the connection with the Dongying mainland is extremely convenient, and the coordinated operation of water and land will be very smooth.
As for the Great Zhou, it is not a problem at present, because the situation in their country is still very unstable, and they simply do not have the strength to go north to fight them.
Otherwise, when Wu Luolan led a mere 20,000 cavalry to sweep Yanyun County, why didn't Da Zhou send troops?
It's because they simply don't have enough troops.
So even if they want to subdue Yanyun, it will be at least three years later, and in three years, Dongying will be able to gain a complete foothold in Yanyun County.
In fact, their original intention was to rebel against Xiao Chen, to encourage him to become independent, and then form a military alliance with him, so that their fleet could be stationed in Shunfeng Harbor in a grand manner, and in the future when there was a military conflict with the Great Zhou, they could also justifiably send the army into Yanyun County.
In this way, he can completely control Yan Yun and elevate Xiao Chen into a puppet king. But the bait has already been thrown over, and Xiao Chen just doesn't bite the hook!
Except for promising full trade cooperation with them and giving extremely favorable conditions, the others refused to agree! Their fleet was not even allowed to dock at Downport......
It can be seen that this guy is very ignorant of current affairs!
Since he doesn't eat soft, you should give him something hard and force him by force.
But the Lord and the other side thought that they couldn't do this, because Xiao Chen's character was to eat soft rather than hard, and he dared to gnaw on any kind of hard bone!
At the beginning, he led 3,000 old and weak soldiers, and he dared to fight against Uloran's 20,000 elite cavalry, and he won.
Later, he joined forces with Wu Luolan, and defeated Wan Yan Pingqiu's coalition army with less, stabilized Yan Yun's situation in less than a year, formed the Northern Alliance, and formed a deep friendship with Yan Pingqiu and Wu Luolan, who were once mortal enemies, isn't such an opponent terrifying?
It is easy to attack Yanyun, and it is also easy to take Shunfeng Harbor, but it is not easy to occupy the entire Yanyun County, because Yanyun's depth is thousands of miles away, how many troops do we need to fully occupy it?
Although Xiao Chen claimed that there were only 30,000 city defense troops, we all knew that this was not the case, this guy also had at least 100,000 male soldiers under his command, plus the cavalry of the northern tribes, he was only afraid of the scale of 500,000.
And the combat ability of the cavalry in the northern frontier on the grassland is very terrifying, and it is known as invincible!
Therefore, no matter how heroic our soldiers are, it is very, very difficult, or even impossible, to take Yanyun and even the northern frontier.
If the war is in a stalemate, the situation will be quite unfavorable for us.
What if Xiao Chen is so angry that the dog jumps under the wall and forms an alliance with the Rus, I may ask you?
He has never played cards according to common sense, and he can even cooperate with pirates from the southern frontier of the Western Ocean, so what is the point of forming an alliance with the Rus?
In fact, his attitude towards Ross is very ambiguous now......
If that's the case, then aren't we giving the entire North to the Rus' with both hands?
What if Da Zhou also sends troops to reinforce the battle, let me ask you?
Can we go head-to-head with these two formidable opponents at the same time?
Although the main war faction disagrees with these assumptions, they are also unable to answer these sharp questions raised by the main peace faction head-on, because these problems do exist.
And the crux of the problem lies in Xiao Chen, so let's also put forward a hypothesis, if he dies, will the situation in the entire northern border change drastically?
To put it simply, is it okay to kill him?
The Lord and Pie also remained silent, because it felt like it was okay, but it was just a bit risky, but before we took the risk, we must estimate in detail the pros and cons of his death......
This matter can be put on the agenda, but we have to work in secret, and we must not make a public announcement. However, on the Helan issue, the opinions of the main war faction and the main peace faction are very consistent.
Everyone thinks that taking Helan down will be greatly beneficial to the future situation, and Hu Yanqing is the best candidate to be the puppet king of Helan, there is no one!
In the future, we can even support him to be the leader of the Northern Alliance, so that we can control the entire Northern Frontier in our hands.
Isn't Todd dead?
