Chapter 1424: I Have Decided Up!
This is the difference between the military generals of Wenchen and the generals, the generals are all thinking about how to win, but the generals have to think about how to clean up the defeat.
After a big war, no matter whether you win or lose, the consumption of the treasury is quite huge, and the war, in the final analysis, is actually silver.
If the war against Yanyun is launched, plus the logistics people, at least more than 300,000 people will be mobilized, how much silver will these people get just to eat, drink and Lazar?
If you lead troops to fight, you know how to urge grain and grass to urge silver, and if the supply is a little slower, you will clamore to kill people and cut off your head for the crime of neglecting military aircraft, completely ignoring the difficulties of our household department and the life and death of officials!
It is you who win the battle and receive rewards for meritorious service, but it is often us who defeat the people who eat and fall.
If other generals lead troops, it doesn't matter, if it's the prince, then the problem is even more special, and they won't give up if they don't tire these people in the rear to death! Especially the household department, every time there is a war, it is especially busier than the military department.
The last time he attacked Yizhou, because of the flood on the road, a batch of ordnance escorted arrived three days late, and Li Feng killed a Lang Zhong in his household on the charge of delaying the military plane......
For this matter, Chen Wenqi almost brought a lawsuit to the emperor with him!
In fact, Chen Wenqi also supports the recovery of Yanyun, but he feels that now is not the time, we have just finished fighting Yizhou, and the silver that we have finally accumulated has spent more than half, and the consumption of grain and grass is extremely huge.
Now that I'm going to send troops to Yanyun again, where can I get you food and silver?
Should I say it or not, Yanyun County, who fought in the previous few wars, really didn't help less, at least the war horses, cattle and sheep, grain and grass solved the big problem!
Now if we want to attack them, and ask them for something, I am afraid that they will not give it.
Yanyun County is now very economically developed, and it is indeed quite wealthy, but if Yanyun County is a pig, Chen Wenqi feels that it has not fattened up yet, and it is far from the time to slaughter and eat meat.
And he has always believed that there are many ways to take back Yanyun County, and it is not necessarily necessary to use force, force is actually the most incompetent way.
The best strategy is naturally to take Xiao Chen to death, let him be obedient and obedient, always loyal to the emperor, and dare not make a slight move; The middle strategy is to kill him, and then use the counter-strategy of combining vertical and horizontal, using various forces such as Gao Juli in the northern Xinjiang of Rus, to provoke internal contradictions between his brothers, so as to disintegrate and even digest them.
openly starting a war with Yan Yun is a good idea. Now that many of the upper and middle strategies have not been used, the emperor and the two princes are in a hurry to use the next strategy to deal with Yan Yun, Chen Wenqi really disagrees.
After they recovered Yizhou, their confidence skyrocketed, thinking that taking Yanyun County would be as easy as taking Yizhou...... Actually, these are two different things, okay?
Yanyun is not Yizhou, Yizhou is far overseas, far away from the Great Zhou mainland, it belongs to the attack and retreat, and the defeat is nothing more than retreating to Minzhou County for fortification, which has no big impact on the security of the territory.
But Yanyun is too close to Fengyang City, and if there is a slight mistake, the capital will be in turmoil! It's like when the war in Yizhou was tense at the beginning, Fengyang City was not affected in any way, and it was still singing and dancing, but as soon as Xiao Chen was going to attack Haining Bay, the city immediately panicked, and many people left directly......
Xiao Chen is not Xiao Xinghan, and those brothers under him are not the rabble of the Tianxuan Society, each of them can take charge of themselves and occupy one side!
Zhuge Xiaosheng, who strategized and won thousands of miles, Li Ling, the general who was undefeated across the sea, Li Tanhua, who was in the Niutou Pass, and even the hundred countries in the Western Regions, a generation of Tianjiao, the invincible Wanyan Pingqiu, and the grassland eagle Moro King who once led 20,000 cavalry to sweep Yanyun County!
There are also outstanding generals such as Lin Yue, Yue Zhonglin, Wu Hanming, Wei Yuntian and so on......
In fact, most of these people were in the past of the Great Zhou, at that time they were all nameless, and they were not reused, since they went to Yanyun, it was like a tiger entering the mountains and forests, and the dragon swimming in the sea, each showing its grandeur!
In the final analysis, Xiao Chen, this kid knows heroes with a keen eye and is proficient in the way of employing people, in addition to being cunning and treacherous, he himself can write a few lines of poetry, in fact, he has no ability, he can't fight on the horse, he can't settle the people when he gets off the horse, and he knows the girls when he gets on the kang and knows the shoes when he gets off the kang......
But he can make these heroes willing to die for him! The main thing is to know people and tolerate people, if you look at this point alone, not to mention that Xiao Xinghan is far inferior, even my emperor seems to be ......
He can't even tolerate his relatives!
Not to mention his relatives, he doesn't even have complete trust in his own brother Li Wanyun, let alone his own brother, he can even kill his own son.
The emperor attaches too much importance to power, and he wants to hold all the power in the world tightly in the palm of his hand, which is actually true, but as the lord of the world, you only know how to receive, but you don't know how to let go?
Look at Xiao Chen, he knew that we might use troops against Yan Yun, but he was still in the mood to personally lead the fleet to the South Seas to blow the wind......
Just with this mind and strength, the emperor is not as good as his boy.
Unconsciously, Chen Wenqi and others have already compared Xiao Chen to the emperor......
"Lord Chen, I remember that you hate Xiao Chen the most, why did you suddenly soften when the matter came to an end?" Li Feng felt awkward when he heard Chen Wenqi's words, he hadn't fought yet, so what kind of setbacks did you say, didn't this disturb my military morale? The heart is unhappy, when even sneering and sneering.
"I personally have no grievances with Xiao Chen, and I don't hate him, if I kill him, I can take Yanyun County, I am the first to raise my hand in agreement, in fact, when Xiao Chen came to Fengyang, I also suggested that the emperor kill him many times, Xiao Chen is a traitor in the world, a rebellious minister in the country, what is the soft-hearted to kill him?" Chen Wenqi went back directly.
"Why Aiqing, do you think we will encounter setbacks in this troop dispatch?" Li Wanjiang asked.
"The matter of the war, the minister does not understand, how to win or lose, the minister does not dare to talk nonsense, the minister is in the household department, all he is worried about is how to clean up the mess after this battle? In addition, the food and salary required for this battle ...... "Chen Wenqi knew that the emperor was inclined to send troops, and he probably couldn't persuade him to change his mind."
"I've made up my mind!" Li Wanjiang said, "Take Li Feng as the general of the expedition to the north, Xue Jinshan as the deputy general, lead your headquarters with 50,000 troops and horses, control the 200,000 soldiers and horses of Yanyun Pass, and conquer Yanyun!" This battle is related to the tranquility of the northern Xinjiang of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and my son needs to lift his spirits, strive for success, and live up to my hopes! ”
"Sons obey orders!" Li Feng was overjoyed and replied loudly.
Li Shi's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.
"Li Shi, the food and logistics affairs will be taken care of by you together with Chen Wenqi and Lu Jing, if you win this battle, I will give you the first credit!" Li Wanjiang handed over this most thankless errand to Li Shi.
It made Li Shi's heart feel as disgusting as eating a fly, but he didn't dare to disobey, even if he said listlessly, "Erchen obeys the order and does his best!" ”
