Chapter 778: Showing Weakness to the Enemy

Kaijing.

In the palace, Su Shi was looking at the summary of information about the Great Song Dynasty.

When he saw that Zhao Zhen was ill and had not been in the court for many days, and Cao Danshu took this opportunity to start mastering the government, a cold snort sounded in his nose.

"Some people who always only know how to fight in the nest really have no future at all."

It's no wonder that Su Shi would sigh like this, because he was also deeply involved in it, and he also tried to change everything with his own strength.

Speaking of which, Su Shi has made a lot of contributions to the development of Zhao and Song. Whether it's military, people's livelihood or finance.

The existence of Su Shi gave Zhao Song Zeng the opportunity to become stronger. For the sake of Zhao Song, Su Shi also poured out his heart and lungs, but what did he get in exchange?

Suspicion? Exploit? There was even persecution, and at one point I wanted to kill myself.

Originally, I thought that Zhao Song was orthodox, and to fight the world for it was to fight the world for all the Han people. But it wasn't until even Zhao Xi began to suspect him that he knew that he couldn't fall into it, otherwise, his glory and the glory of a powerful Han man seemed to be an impossible task.

There are dark arrows and cold arrows at all times.

It is possible to be disempowered at any time.

Serving such a force is far less enjoyable and effective than fighting the country by yourself.

Just like now, without any constraints, in just over a year, Su Shi has occupied most of Goryeo. At most, after giving Su Shi a year, or even half a year, he is confident that he will win the whole of Goryeo, which is not far more painful than being a minister in Zhao and Song.

Besides, Zhao Song has taken over the country that only the Zhou Chai clan has, are you really in the right position, is it orthodox?

Su Shi has everything now, but it is all from scratch, and it comes out step by step. He didn't rely on anyone, he just relied on the system, and he was extremely convinced that his position was far more positive than that of Zhao Song, and it was much more convincing.

"Bit, bite each other, anyway, it won't be long before I will kill back, and then I will let you see what a real strong country is, not what you say every day is a weak power."

After saying this, Su Shi threw this information aside, and looked at another piece of information sent by Meng Youde himself, which said that the king of Goryeo had given in to Fusang and took out a large amount of silver taels to ask the Japanese soldiers to send reinforcements.

"How can a short-sighted person know that it is better to rely on others than on himself?"

"Do you really think Fusang has such a good heart and is willing to help you? If one day, let them gain a firm foothold in Goryeo, will you still be allowed to exist as the king of Goryeo? ”

Shaking his head again, the corners of Su Shi's mouth curled, and he laughed, "Fortunately, I'm here, and Fusang's trick is destined not to succeed." Because Goryeo is mine, Fuso in the future will also be trampled under my feet. ”

After saying this, Su Shi shouted outside: "Louyang, get ready, let's go to the front line in Mingzhou to have a look." ”

When the Dragon King came to the front line of Mingzhou, when the news reached the First Brigade of the People's Army, the brigade commander Mu Huan called a group of generals to a meeting to discuss the welcome.

"The arrival of the King of Heaven does not need us to wait to greet us, we might as well fight a victory and show the King of Heaven." Hu Yanqing, deputy brigade commander and commander of the second regiment, spoke.

Speaking of which, it has been more than a month since their first brigade came outside of Mingzhou. Except for the earliest days, when some Japanese soldiers came out and walked in a circle, and after fighting them at a distance, both sides retreated five miles each, and there was no real battle ever since.

From the reserve forbidden army back then to the first time he followed Su Shi to participate in the battle against the three clans in the northern territory of Zhao and Song Dynasty to the present, Huyanqing has fought dozens of battles of all sizes, when has it been like now.

The enemy is in front of him, but he does not fight, but confronts him from afar, is this any difference from the former Song army?

For this reason, Hu Yanqing has asked for war several times, but Mu Huan, who is the brigade commander, has not agreed, and he is helpless.

Now that he learned that Su Shi was coming, he once again proposed to fight with the Japanese army. I thought that I would still be rejected, but I didn't think about it, but this time Mu Huan nodded and said: "Deputy Brigade Commander Huyan is right, we should fight, and let these Japanese soldiers know the strength of our dragon army." ”

"What? Can you really fight? Hu Yanqing thought that he had misheard, and his eyes showed excitement.

"Yes, you can fight." Mu Huan responded with tears in his eyes.

Do you really think he doesn't want to fight? This is the meaning of the military department, and it is the meaning of Su Shi.

There was no direct attack, and Su Shi made the decision after considering the overall situation.

First, the newly conquered land needs time to appease people's hearts and some infrastructure, even if Su Shi has a lot of items, it also needs time to lay them.

Second, Su Shi didn't just want the lives of these 5,000 Fusang people, he wanted more heavy damage to the Japanese soldiers. To do this, you need to have a strong navy that can ensure that the Japanese are defeated, and if you want to escape, you can intercept them above the sea.

In this way, if the navy is not prepared, it cannot fight too hard.

Thirdly, Su Shi also wanted to create an illusion, that is, the dragon army was nothing more than that, which could make Fusang arrogant, and he would send more reinforcements, so that Su Shi would be happy when he bit down.

Now, with the large number of items provided by Su Shi, the hearts of the people in the Eighteen Cities have gradually settled, which can be seen from the fact that the faith points that Su Shi receives every day have increased from more than two million to more than three million.

Su Shi's policy of showing weakness has had a certain effect, and Fusang has decided to send a second reinforcement army.

Three requirements, two have been met, and then it's time to fight. But Su Shi's requirements were that it was okay to fight, not too hard, at least not to really threaten the security of Mingzhou, and not to evacuate from the sea before the Dragon Navy was ready.

It was after receiving Su Shi's request that he could fight a battle, and when Hu Yanqing asked for another battle, Mu Huan happily agreed.

"Haha, okay." Seeing that Mu Huan did support fighting a battle, Hu Yanqing immediately began to analyze from a military point of view, "Even if we want to fight, we will defeat the Goryeo and Japanese alliance in one battle, we have more than 30,000 people, we can divide the troops into three ways, with the excellent military quality of our soldiers, we are more than ninety percent sure of winning this battle, we..."

"Wait." Seeing that Hu Yanqing was going to continue, Mu Huan interrupted him with words and took the initiative to explain: "The military department said that we can fight a battle, but we can't fight a big battle, and we can't capture Mingzhou City, so our regular regulations can't use too much, at most we can send a company of soldiers, and the rest are mainly to help the peasants." ”

"There is only one company of regular soldiers, and the peasant soldiers are not on it, are they all helping the peasant soldiers?" When Hu Yanqing heard this request, he was suspicious, and he thought that he had heard it wrong.

"Yes, didn't Deputy Brigade Commander Huyan say that our soldiers have been training hard and are all excellent recently? In that case, it is enough to send peasant soldiers to help. Mu Huan nodded affirmatively.

Seeing that Mu Huan didn't mean to joke, Hu Yanqing knew that this was the bottom line. At the moment, he said, "Okay, the regular soldiers of a company are the regular soldiers of a company, but this time I will lead the team, I will be the company commander, and then I will give me 5,000 peasant soldiers, I can guarantee that I will not capture the city of Mingzhou, but just fight under the city and drive the combined forces of Goryeo and the Japanese into the city." ”

Hu Yanqing made a request, and would rather be demoted a few levels than lead troops, which is actually what Mu Huan wants to say. But after all, he is the commander of a brigade, and it is always difficult to compete with the deputy brigade commander below.

He looked at Hu Yanqing with some envy, and then Mu Huan nodded, "That's the case, the war will be handed over to you, and you can go and order five thousand peasant soldiers later." By the way, I handed in the plan before the war, and I will hand it over to the military department for review. ”

"Gotcha!"

When Hu Yanqing agreed, a smile suddenly bloomed on his face.

Although he only brought a company of regular soldiers and 5,000 peasant soldiers, it was better to be able to go out and fight a battle than to face off against each other every day.

When the brigade headquarters meeting ended and the news reached below, the whole brigade quickly exploded.

First of all, 10,000 peasant soldiers were not happy.

Why can the regular soldiers participate in this war, and the peasant soldiers can also participate in the war, but they don't have a single quota for the peasant soldiers?

It's not fair.

For this reason, many of the company commanders of the peasant army took the initiative to come to Mu Huan to ask for an explanation, but they were all repelled by the order of the Dragon Heavenly King.

As soon as it was said that the order was given by Su Shi, there was no opinion on the following. Here, you can contradict anyone and talk about anyone, but only Su Shi's position is shaky.

If anyone dares to say that the Dragon Heavenly King is not, then they will immediately be attacked by a group, and even cripple you and kill you, and you deserve it.

The peasants and soldiers stopped making trouble, but the regular soldiers and the assistant peasants began to compete for this limited quota, which was difficult for Hu Yanqing, who was selected for the army. Seeing that everyone came to find him, and patted his chest one by one to assure that he was definitely the group of people who could fight, Hu Yanqing was a little difficult to decide, so he wanted to throw the pot to the brigade commander Mu Huan to carry it.

Mu Huan is good at talking, seeing Hu Yanqing coming to him, he took the initiative to say, he can solve this problem, he can personally pick up the soldiers, but after the selection, he will lead the troops to fight.

As soon as the conditions came out, how could Hu Yanqing agree, he turned around and left. Then, in spite of the pleading of others, he personally chose five thousand and one hundred warriors.

The people who were picked were all as excited as little tigers, jumping up and down.

For them, fighting means that they can make more contributions, and their families will get more because of their good performance.

As for the words, you can die if you go to the battlefield.

Oh, where are the immortals in war?

Besides, they don't want to go back to live that kind of life compared to before. Then, in order to protect the fruits of their victory, they must kill all those who threaten them. What is the sacrifice of one's life for this?
