Chapter 1016: Times Are Different
Li Wanjiang was quite satisfied with Xiao Chen's reaction, in fact, when he first raised this matter with his henchmen and courtiers, the horror they showed was not much better than Xiao Chen at this moment.
"Hmph, if I ask you about the crime of rudeness in front of the king, even if you have ten heads, you are not enough to cut off!" Li Wanjiang asked him to get up and talk, talk to you about military affairs, and it's useless to talk to me.
"I think it's absolutely impossible!" The first thing Xiao Chen said when he got up was the same as the courtiers at the beginning.
Everyone thinks that it is absolutely impossible, but I have to do it, firstly, it seems that I am unpredictable, and secondly, since you have not thought of it, then Xiao Xinghan has never imagined it.
So please Aiqing calm down, figure out her thoughts clearly, and think about it, is this strategy of mine so feasible?
If you don't think it's feasible, then what's not feasible? Should I not exterminate the Tianxuanhui and recover Yizhou Island to raise tigers, or should I not cooperate with the Dongying people and think that I am seeking skin with tigers?
"Your Majesty, Dongying is a humble and cunning person, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, bullying the weak, the most capricious, treacherous at every turn, only blindly afraid of martial arts, but not knowing grace, although it is a country of projectiles, but there is the ambition of a tiger and a wolf, and the heart of China will never die!" Xiao Chen said loudly.
"I also know their temperament very well, but this time I am just using them, and when the Tianxuan Society is dead, it will not be too late for our monarchs to go back and slowly cook this lackey." Li Wanjiang said with a smile.
"I'm afraid it's going to be too late...... Xiao Chen sighed, "Dongying people are not lackeys, but jackals, lackeys will only bite us at most, and a stick can scare us away, but if a jackal bites someone, it will not let go of death!" ”
"In that case, then when we regain Shunfeng Harbor, why do you insist on them as helpers?" Li Wanjiang's tone of words is not good, and every word is heartfelt.
"Your Majesty, this time and that time, the time is different, the things are different, and the situation is different!" Xiao Chen said, "At the beginning, we cooperated to fight the Rus, the Dongying people are wolves, and the Rus people are tigers, and they are afraid that they will be bitten to death by tigers, so they can only cooperate with us obediently, and naturally they dare not bite people, but now ...... "Now it is different."
After the last fierce battle, although the Dongying people did not dare to underestimate the Rus fleet too much, the middle and upper echelons of their army agreed that the Rus were by no means invincible, and their ironclad warships were actually no more than Erer, otherwise they could be defeated by us in one fell swoop?
The Dongying people have always thought that the last joint operation was actually a head-to-head duel between their Dongying Navy Division and the Rus fleet, as for Xiao Chen's Yanyun Navy, the Pirate Legion, and the dozens of warships in Yizhou were all here to fight soy sauce.
This shows that the strength of our Dongying Navy Division is not inferior to the Rus fleet, and even above them, otherwise why did the Rus never retaliate after the last war?
If they were really strong, they would have sent a fleet south to attack us!
In addition, the Dongying people also know that Rus will face strong pressure from the West, so they are definitely not willing to put themselves in the situation of being attacked from both the east and the west, in this way, in the east and even in the North Sea, we Dongying people should be able to completely control it.
This very optimistic estimate was opposed by many Dongying generals, but it was approved by Emperor Shenzhao.
So their strategy for Da Zhou began to change quietly, because they became more and more bold, so they had more and more ideas, so that the steps were getting bigger and bigger......
The last time they brazenly sent troops to invade the northern frontier, it was a tentative step, originally they just wanted to wade into the muddy water and test the depth of the water, but unexpectedly poked a big basket.
was kicked up by Yan Ping Qiu and stepped into a pulp, not only tens of thousands of soldiers were all broken, but the military high-level also broke their eggs, it was really a heart-rending feeling......
If you want to say that in the east, the Dongying Water Division must be invincible, but if you fight on land, it is not easy to say, the facts have proven their incompetence!
If you want to say that Xiangwu is still a very good general, he was beaten by Yan Pingqiu with the momentum of the wind sweeping the autumn leaves, and he couldn't form an army...... I'm sorry, it's the total annihilation.
And Wanyan Pingqiu, this young man, really doesn't talk about martial arts, he not only annihilated Xiangwu and our soldiers, but also directly entered the territory of Gaojuli, which is really too much!
And the speed of the cavalry movement of the northern Xinjiang tribe can really be described as lightning, in the morning they are still in Fuyu County, and in the evening they appeared by the Datong River, which is really the work of the heavenly soldiers......
Caught off guard, in less than two months, half of Gao Julie had been crushed by his cavalry, and even Li Renzong was rescued by him.
Now the pressure is on Emperor Shenzhao to see what choice he will make.
Should he gather heavy troops to drive Wanyan Pingqiu back to northern Xinjiang, or should he give up Gao Juli?
It is impossible to give up, Gaojuli is very important to Dongying, especially those few ports, the garrison fleet can form a suppressive encirclement posture against the Great Zhou, and this is also the first line of defense against the attack of the Rus!
But if you finish the decisive battle with Yan Pingqiu, to be honest, you really don't have a very good chance of winning.
Because the current Wanyan Pingqiu is fighting at home, behind him is the Northern Xinjiang tribe, the flank is the damned Yanyun County, and he is surrounded by Gaojuli people who support them, and the Dongying army still has to travel a long way to fight them.
Putting aside the military victory or defeat for the time being, the pressure on logistics alone is also huge, because the war is fought in logistics, and without enough food, grass and material support, this war cannot be fought.
The top brass of the Dongying military estimated that if they wanted to defeat Yan Pingqiu, they would need at least 200,000 troops!
200,000 people, how many warships do you need to transport them? How much military pay and grass do you need to consume in a day?
This has to be said to be able to be defeated, if the war is defeated, the loss will be incalculable, and the consequence will be that a large number of people will commit suicide by caesarean section.
Even if it is defeated, at least 200,000 or even 300,000 soldiers will have to be stationed in Gaojuli in the future, and who knows when the damned northern Xinjiang tribe will make a comeback?
Say it's cutting the grass and eradicating the roots? That's not easy, you can't sweep the entire northern Xinjiang down, right?
At the beginning, the Han Dynasty was so powerful, and the generals who led the troops were so awesome, didn't they all sink into the sand in the north in the end? The most annoying thing is that these nomadic tribes have no fixed place, when your soldiers arrive, they run away, and as soon as your soldiers leave, they come back.
Is it okay to say that it is to garrison troops in northern Xinjiang? It's okay, it depends on how many people you can produce, and if you are optimistic, one or two million people will be about the same......
So if this could be done, the northern Xinjiang tribes would have already become several counties of the Han Dynasty!
Chapter 1017 Murder by a knife
At the beginning, the strategic thinking of the high-level Dongying was to occupy the Helan tribe first, and under the favorable situation of relying on Gao Juli, slowly decompose and encroach on the entire northern Xinjiang, and finally complete the strategic encirclement of Yanyun County, even if it could not encircle Yanyun, it could firmly clamp the eastern part of Yanyun County like fire tongs.
It's a pity that the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and this battle plan, which felt that it was easy to complete, not only failed, but also set himself on fire.
It seems that they still underestimated the tribes of Northern Xinjiang, and also underestimated the ability and courage of Wanyan Pingqiu.
Wanyan Pingqiu is terrible, but the most terrifying thing is the silent, inconspicuous man who stood behind him and silently supported him......
Xiao Chen, this damn bastard!
Dongying's high-level leaders unanimously agreed that Wanyan was aggressive, and Xiao Chen was difficult.
If you want to solve Gao Juli's problem well, you must solve him first, otherwise, you will also have eight teeth.
They don't have a good way to deal with Xiao Chen at the moment, but if there is one person who can, that is, Li Wanjiang, the emperor of the Great Zhou, it seems that it is time to use the thirty-six strategies......
The first plan was made out of nothing, and first sent an envoy to meet Li Wanjiang, and when it came to trade with Yanyun County, he greatly praised Yanyun County for being really too rich and powerful, they not only have a lot of business, but also a lot of factories, and a lot of advanced ordnance......
That tiger head ballista and hot air balloon are examples.
Of course, their military is also very strong, and the last time we cooperated with their Yanyun Water Division, we really threw ourselves into the ground.
I heard that their army is the most powerful, winning every battle, and even the strong northern cavalry is not their opponent, the Great Zhou Emperor has such a rich land and such a capable courtier, it is really happy.
Our Emperor Shenzhao was very envious, and often said that it would be nice if we also had a talent like Lord Xiao Chen.
But the rumor is just the rumor, and the rumor Xiao Chenjun seems to have the intention of being the king in Yanyun County?
Otherwise, why is he alone in charge of all the affairs of Yanyun County?
Just like the large trade we did with him, he also made the decision, we were originally going to ask the Great Zhou Emperor, but he said that there was no need to ......
And why did he form that Northern Alliance? Could it be that you want to fight against Da Zhou?
It shouldn't be, Xiao Chenjun is a very loyal person.
Or is it that the emperor really wants to make him king? If that's the case, we must make a generous gift to congratulate him.
But we heard that Da Zhou is not a king with a different surname, but we don't know when this precedent was set?
The envoy sent this time is of a low level, so he can talk nonsense, whether you believe it or not, Li Wanjiang, anyway, I will give you a thorn in your heart first.
The second plan is to transfer the tiger from the mountain, and the envoy sent this time will talk more deeply, and the general meaning is that Xiao Chen is covering the sky in Yanyun County, which is very unfavorable to us and the Great Zhou, if the Great Zhou Emperor can send someone to replace him.
Of course, he must also be a very weighty person, otherwise he will not be able to control the complex situation of Yanyun, and we think that your son Jiangdong Wang Li Shi is a very good candidate.
The third plan refers to Sang scolding Huai, this time it is a heavyweight figure in Dongying, the minister of the right court, Xiao Lin Senyi, who asked Li Wanjiang to issue an order to intervene in Yan Pingqiu's retreat.
Although the northern Xinjiang tribes are not in the territory of the Great Zhou, the title of King Wanyan Ping Qiu Moxian was also given by the Emperor of the Great Zhou!
Therefore, we think that he will obey the emperor's will, and if he refuses to obey, then we will also deeply regret it.
That shows that Yan Pingqiu is a very ambitious and unruly person, but he has a very good relationship with Xiao Chenjun, I heard that the two of them also worship their sons, and they are brothers.
With the two of them in the north, the pressure we will face in the future will be too great, and perhaps our Emperor Shenzhao will have to reconsider the good relationship that we have built up with great difficulty with Great Zhou......
Together, these three schemes are counter-plots, and in the end, one plan is to borrow a knife to kill people!
Anyway, how powerful Xiao Chen and Wanyan Pingqiu are together, I don't believe that you Emperor Dazhou is not afraid, and our Emperor Shenzhao is afraid.
Who is Li Wanjiang? With your nose, you can see what kind of tricks the people want to play!
It's all nonsense that you've been talking about for a long time, what is the situation in Yanyun, I don't know better than you?
You still want to murder my Aiqing...... I must be left undead!
But what you said also has a point or two of truth, I am mainly concerned about the Tianxuan Society in Yizhou now, otherwise I would have started to deal with Yanyun's affairs a long time ago, speaking of the Yizhou Tianxuan Society, I heard that you Dongying have also formed an alliance with them, is there such a thing?
Xiao Lin Sen flatly denied that there was no such thing at all!
We have always been friendly with Da Zhou, and we hate rebellious ministers and thieves like Xiao Xinghan.
Of course, this does not rule out that some generals in our navy have hooked up with him, but our high-level definitely does not mean this, and I can pack a ticket with the emperor at this point.
Whether this is true or not, Li Wanjiang will really listen to it, because this is not important now, what matters is the attitude of the Dongying people.
Hehe, these little devils are really enough, what are you doing to provoke the northern tribes?
I am so wise and powerful, I don't dare to move them easily, and I endured the invasion of Yanyun County by Prince Moro the year before last...... Now you know why I chose to endure it!
I suffered a loss, but I came to me again...... Then I'll help you.
But before I help you, you also have to do something for me, otherwise it will be difficult for me to believe in your sincerity, how about helping me send troops to take Yizhou Island?
The Tianxuan Society on Yizhou Island has always been my confidant, as long as they can be completely wiped out, everything can be discussed, such as in the north, I will make considerable concessions.
Xiao Lin Senyi first expressed his shock, and then expressed his understanding, although the Great Zhou Emperor's request was very excessive, but for the sake of our sincere cooperation in the future, it seems that it is not impossible to talk about it.
Of course, I can't make decisions on such a big matter, so I have to ask our Emperor Shenzhao. The result of the request was not what Li Wanjiang expected, the Dongying people were willing to send a considerable fleet to the south, and they must help the Great Zhou to recover Yizhou and eliminate the emperor's henchmen!
But of course, we also have a few small conditions...... requested, and asked the Great Zhou Emperor to consider it for a moment.
First of all, the emperor is responsible for the military expenses and materials for this operation, right? In addition, rewards and bereavements, as well as losses, also need to be given by the Great Zhou Emperor, which is the most basic.
Gao Juli's words have always been managed by us Dongying, and they have been officially incorporated into our territory, so Wanyan Pingqiu and their brazen invasion also made us very angry.
I was going to send troops to fight, but the Emperor of the Great Zhou asked us to help you recover Yizhou, which caused our troops to be insufficient and couldn't be deployed, so ......
