Chapter 720: Mandate of Heaven
The tactics of the military department soon came out.
On the western front, the Guanlong army went south to Shuzhong and attacked Bazhong.
On the middle line, the Central Plains army ignored the public security, Lexiang, Yiling and other places in the south of the Yangtze River, and directly attacked Wuchang and cut off the connection between Xie Xuanbu and Jiangdong.
On the eastern front, the navy army descended from the water, advanced by land and water, and attacked the water.
The main focus is on Wuchang.
Taking this place is equivalent to cutting off the Yangtze River.
This strategy is stable and stable, and it is crushed by national strength, which can be called the top of Mount Tai.
As long as one of the roads in Jiangdong is not blocked, the other roads will also be broken.
For example, if Bazhong is lost, then Xie Xuan's Jiangnan defense line is downstream, facing the two-way attack of Bazhong and Jingxiang.
Wuchang was lost, and Xie Xuan's iron wall in the upper reaches lost its role.
And if Wei Su is lost, Jiankang is under the blade of the Liang army, and Huan Wen can surrender directly.
Li Yue thought for a long time against the map, "It's too conservative, the eyes of the military department are focused on the Yangtze River defense line, the Liang Navy has been galloping in the East China Sea for so many years, why do you need to waste time and effort to enter the inland river from the sea?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was stunned.
Only Wang Meng was the first to react, "Your Majesty wants to attack directly from the sea by the navy?" ”
"Not bad!" More than 20 years later, the pirate army of Lu Xun and Xu Daofu set out from the Zhoushan Islands and first attacked the mouth of the Yangtze River, but when they were resisted, they went south by sea and invaded Guangzhou.
Since pirates can do it, a country as big as Liang can definitely do it.
Five hundred years ago, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's naval army went straight to the peninsula from Qingzhou and defeated the Wei clan.
The Jiangdong warships patrol the Yangtze River all year round and are familiar with the hydrological topography.
The warships of the Liang State were soaked in the sea, and the sea ships were more numerous than the river boats, and it was inconvenient to enter the wet water, which was the advantage of meeting the enemy with their own shortcomings.
Li Jian arched his hand and said: "Back then, Zhuge Ke went on the Northern Expedition, deliberately crossed the sea by boat, cut off the Huaishui, and gave up because he was worried that the wind and waves would be too strong, once he ...... The weather is unfavorable, but I am afraid of ......"
"Is this because you choke on food, but because you are worried about the wind and waves, you give up the ocean? People will win the sky, the wind and waves are also regular, and the land of Daliang is not only on land, but also in the four seas! Li Yueli disagreed.
In recent years, the navy has advanced by leaps and bounds, and sea ships and navigation technology have made great progress.
A large number of outstanding naval generals such as Lu Xun, Shen Jin, and He Sheng have risen.
There is another advantage to attacking from the sea, Shen Jin and He Sheng are all strong in Jiangdong and are familiar with the terrain of Jiangdong.
The location is favorable, and as for the time of day, as long as it is in the non-hurricane season.
"For so many years, how rich the sea is, you have all seen it, enterprising the sea is the national policy of the Great Liang, unshakable, in the future, the navy will be changed to the navy!" Li Yue made a direct decision.
Not to mention anything else, Lu Xun's slaves from Goguryeo, Baekje, and Wa in these years strongly supported the development of Liaodong.
The gold mines of the Wa Kingdom also supported the reconstruction of the five-baht coin system in Daliang, so that the copper five-baht was linked to gold and stabilized the economy.
This is only the offshore, if you can get back high-yield crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, and Champa rice in the future, the Chinese civilization will be able to complete an outbreak.
Of course, it can't all be blamed on the conservative military department, which has been fighting like this for thousands of years.
Under normal circumstances, the strategy formulated by the military department is stable and stable, and it is also a good policy.
Wang Meng said: "Your Majesty's strategy is quite in line with the art of war, and the battle strategy of the military department has been revised, and the water ...... The navy does not have to enter the inland river, it can land directly from Huiji, support the wealthy clan in Jiangdong, and focus on the frontal battlefield, or focus on Jingxiang, Bazhong, Jingxiang, Huainan, and the sea. ”
"Great goodness." Li Yue nodded in agreement.
Once the navy lands from behind, one can imagine the psychological impact on Koto.
"The prince continues to supervise the country, and I rushed to Jiaodong to review the navy."
Li Yue still decided to see it with his own eyes, otherwise he would have no bottom in his heart.
"Yui!" Li Jian gave up.
The formulation of a strategy does not mean that troops will be dispatched immediately, but also depends on the development of the situation in Jiangdong.
However, just as Li Yue was preparing to tour the east, a beacon fire was lit in the north again, and Tuoba Shi Yijian came again.
The invasion was concentrated in the west, and 50,000 cavalry marched south to raid the two states of Liangshuo.
Last year, when Li Yue met in the clouds, Li Yue deliberately showed weakness and made Tuoba Shi Yijian swell.
Huan Yi, who was still ploughing the cave in Henan, led more than 20,000 horsemen to the west to resist the grassland cavalry.
Tuoba Shi Yijian plundered all the way from Juyanhai to Dunhuang, although he did not gain much, but it made the people of the Hexi Corridor panic.
Thousands of days to prevent thieves, long guards will be lost.
Fortunately, Yang Luo has been lurking for almost a year, and he followed the door of the eldest grandson and touched Tuoba Yujun's side.
Sent back important information, Tuoba Gu exchanged himself for Tuoba Shi Yijian, brotherhood, Tuoba Shi Yijian Chen Nuo divided half of the country to him to rule, and named Tuoba Gu as the Lord of the North, and Tuoba Yujun as the Lord of the North and South.
Tuoba died in Liangzhou in a lonely battle, but Tuoba Shi Yijian did not let his son Tuoba Jin inherit, but took back all power, Tuoba Jin was very angry, and instigated trouble everywhere.
"Father, if you unite with the Western Regions Protectorate, you can repel Tuoba Shi Yijian." Li Jian arched his hand.
"Is it just repulsion?"
"Tuoba Shi Yijian is extremely cautious, widely sent scouts and reconnaissance cavalry, every time he sends troops, they are divided into three parts, one for assistance, and two departments respond to each other, and as soon as there is a disturbance, immediately withdraw the troops."
"This guy has learned well, and the United Western Regions can only repel him, the gains outweigh the losses, just let Huan Yi defend the city, and let Tuoba Shi Yijian run rampant for a while."
Liang Guo's energy is now in the south.
The north and the south are unified, and the grassland is definitely not an opponent.
"Yui." Li Jian gave up.
"What do you think?" Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yue simply communicated.
The last time he was deliberating on military strategy, he was a little resistant to sending troops from the sea.
The future of Liang Guo still depends on him after all, and Li Yue doesn't want people to die.
"The father is eloquent, and the son is short-sighted."
"What you say is a little insincere, I am not only a monarch and minister, but also a father and son, between father and son, still need to hide?" In the past few years and ten years, Li Yue has watched him grow little by little.
However, the city government also gradually increased, and became more and more submissive in front of himself.
Li Jian pondered for a moment, "Erchen just feels that it is a little risky, and the territory of Daliang is thousands of miles, why bother to operate the sea again?" ”
Li Yue asked people to take a sketch of the world he had made and spread it in the hall.
The continent, the ocean, the islands, and the North and South Poles were all marked by Li Yue with the names in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and he made one up by himself if he didn't have one.
"The territory of Daliang is thousands of miles, but the core area, in fact, is only the Yellow River and the Yangtze River basin, the world is actually very large, Daliang is only one of the corners, and you can't be arrogant."
"This ......" Li Jian looked at the huge map at his feet, his eyes full of shock.
The worldview was opened up in an instant.
"On the sea, what do you want for gold, silver, grain, and people, and how can you give it up? What is the beam, with a knife and wood rampant on the four seas, the sea is where the destiny of the beam is! ”
In this era, I am afraid that no one can understand the importance of the ocean to China better than Li Yue.
"Running the Western Regions is just following the national policy of the Han Dynasty, and opening up the ocean is the merit of you and my father and son!"
What is the difference between being a man without a dream and a salted fish?
One country too.
Technology, time, and climate are all objective reasons, as long as you have an enterprising heart, these are not problems.
This is also the only way that Li Yue can think of to break the curse of the dynasty's two-hundred-year cycle.
"Father, Emperor, true god and man." Li Jian was completely impressed.
"I'll give it to you."
"Thank you, Father."
