042, it's not me who is in a hurry (II)
The situation of the Fan Mur Kingdom is peculiar, its territory is cut into many small plains by the criss-crossing mountains, like a chessboard, and the outlines of the cities are scattered in between. Its natural terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if you want to attack the Fan Mur Kingdom, you will encounter layers of passes, so you can only patiently encroach and advance piece by piece, and the army is very likely to be trapped in it, and it is difficult to quickly maneuver or retreat.
On the other hand, it was also very inconvenient for Fan Muroguo to urgently recruit and mobilize a large army, because its territory was divided into many areas, and it was inconvenient to communicate with each other, and it took a long time to prepare for war.
Therefore, the national policy of Fan Muguo in recent years is to try to maintain relative neutrality, seemingly detached, and rarely take the initiative to get involved in any conflicts. Therefore, the meeting of Baichuan City that year was specially arranged to be held in the territory of Fanmur Kingdom.
And the country of Silk is a different situation. Among the original five countries of Ba Yuan, the country of Pakistan is second only to the country of Ba in terms of national strength, and its territory is vast, and its population is also comparable to that of the country of Ba Muru. The monarch has been in power for nearly 30 years, and his people have the cultivation of the five realms, and he is still strong and energetic, and he has been secretly gathering momentum for so many years.
The number of standing armies in the country did not exceed that of the country of Bamuro, but if a general mobilization order for war was issued, a larger number of troops could be recruited in the short term. The most elite field main force in the Silk Chamber, known as the Spirit Beast Cavalry, this army was formed by the hands of the Silk Rang when he was in power, and it has a lot of roots with the Beast Mountain.
In the war on the Ba Yuan, the soldiers usually did not directly ride horses to kill, but drove horse-drawn chariots, which had a strong impact and was easy to use weapons, but limited mobility, and it was difficult to drive chariots to charge in a row in complex terrain. Most of the so-called spirit beasts are actually war horses, but they can allow soldiers to ride directly to fight, and they are different from the common cavalry in later generations.
No matter how great the ability is, there is no guarantee that the beast will be able to open its spiritual wisdom and become a demon cultivator. However, the Mountain of Beasts has its own inheritance secret method to specialize in cultivating divine consciousness, and can usually train birds and beasts to obey various instructions, and even directly use divine consciousness to control the consciousness of birds and beasts. They can train beasts to be used in a variety of situations, the most important of which is, of course, to be used on the battlefield.
Speaking of which, the two white horses that pulled the cart for the tiger baby can now be regarded as such spirit beasts. The two horses could understand the instructions of the tiger baby, and they had also taken various elixirs, and their speed and endurance were amazing. If the tiger baby needs to fight directly on horseback, its cooperation can also reach the level of almost the integration of human and horseman.
Although the number of spirit beast cavalry in the Silk Country is small, its combat effectiveness is very strong. It may not be cost-effective to use in sieges, but it can be a winning weapon in a field battle.
Nowadays, in terms of national strength, of course, the country is stronger, which is also a long-term guarantee of combat effectiveness, but it cannot be completely equated with real military strength. Even if the country of the country cannot completely defeat the country of the country, it may tear off a large piece of meat and curb the expansion momentum of the country of the country in this way.
In the national war a few years ago, the country of Silk also took the opportunity to show its minions. Sent troops to capture several cities of Zheng Muru. Shao Wu behaved very restrained at that time, and did not conflict with the Silk Country, and also acquiesced in the advantage taken by the Silk Concession.
To this day, Shaowu obviously has no intention of taking the initiative. Fang has made the situation very clear. It was the Pao Rang who was anxious to seize the fighter plane, and why should the young man be in a hurry? Having just pacified the Xiangmuro State and the Zheng Muro State, the Bamuro State still had to digest the fruits of the victory, even if this battle was inevitable. Less work can also be delayed.
And the rhetorical question of the young man is very clear, since he succeeded to the throne. Of course not! The national war of those years was the first to be started by the poor, and it was also the treachery of Zheng Muguo. Although Shaowu led a large army to kill, he occupied the name of righteousness and won the unanimous support of the people of the whole country.
The name of righteousness may seem illusory at times, but it is very important on many occasions, because it can unite as many forces as possible and can boost the morale of the military and the people.
Nowadays, the strategy of Shaowu is not to start first, and the garrison is stationed at the border pass, and in the current situation, there is no reason to raise troops to launch a national war, and the people in the country may be reluctant. But if the enemy comes in, it is an opportunity for Shaowu to ascend to the heights, recruit troops from all over the country, and pacify Ba Yuan.
If this happens, Shaomu will not only defeat the opponent's attack, but also counterattack and destroy his country in the future. But the first step is to destroy the living forces of the other side and weaken its national strength, and then we can talk about unifying Bayuan. In this way, it can continue to occupy the name of righteousness and receive the widest support and support.
Fate smiled and said meaningfully: "I already understand Ba Jun's plan, you don't want to do it yourself, but hope that the other party will send it to the door, and then let you occupy the name of righteousness to raise the army." In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that this is not a matter of who will do it first, but sooner or later someone will not be able to help but do it.
Since the day when Pakistan was divided into five countries, it was inevitable to attack each other, and all countries were ready to attack. Each clan claims to have inherited the orthodoxy of Pakistan, and regards the other four clans as usurpers who split the country, so attacking and conquering is the prerequisite, otherwise it will lose the foundation of the country, and how can the name of the monarch himself remain?
Even if the poor didn't invade and Zheng didn't break his promise, didn't Ba Jun want to unify Ba Yuan?"
Shao Wu smiled bitterly: "The Holy Queen is right, the war of the nations is inevitable sooner or later, but this is only the righteous name of the clan, if you raise troops without authorization to involve all the people into the war, you may not be able to get the support of the tribal forces."
Moreover, the Holy Empress once told me in person that there is no need to start first to prepare for war, and that the poor will be the first to hold back, as long as the poor move, Zheng Shares will also move, and the pacification of Ba originally started from the unification of the Three Kingdoms.
What the Holy Queen expected back then has come true, and now it is Silk Jean who is about to move, so let him expose his flaws. The first to do not necessarily take the lead, he chooses how to start, I choose how to end, this is also the Holy Queen of the year to guide the few things. ”
Even if he sat there and didn't move, his whole body was full of charm, his eyes were charming, and he smiled lightly: "You are really a diligent and studious king, and you have done very well so far, and I would like to thank you for my good life!"
Shao Wu collected his thoughts, lowered his eyes again, and said: "Why did the Holy Queen say this? It should be that this monarch and the country of Ba are grateful to you!"
Fate: "I have already said it, open your mouth to cut off your life, if you say it falsely, it will damage your cultivation." You still don't know much about my practice, back then, I broke Ba Yuan's order and instructed you to take the phase room and the Zheng room first, and ask for the unification of the three kingdoms. And now that this is the case, I have also made great progress. At my point, it is difficult for me to go further in cultivation, with your help, and now I have finally verified the nine turns of the transformation realm, how can I say thank you!
Your plan now is to stabilize the Fanmu Kingdom and wait for the Pao Rang to strike first, and then destroy its invading army. I can't say for sure how things will turn out, so I ask who you plan to deal with first, and how sure are you that you will be able to persuade Fan Jun not to form an alliance with the Silk Kingdom?"
Shao Wu replied truthfully: "I am not sure, but I sent an envoy to make two formal promises to Fan Jun. First, as long as Fan Muroguo refuses to form an alliance with the Pamuro country, I will not take the initiative to invade the Pamuro country; second, if the Paburo country does not take the initiative to invade the Bamuro country, the Bamuro country will not raise a sword to invade the Pamuro country, and ask Fan Jun to convey my promise to the Pabol king. And these two commitments, I can also announce to the world. ”
Fateful nodded and said: "I see, you want Fan Jun to think that this battle could have not happened, at least not now, then there is no need to form an alliance at the moment." But if Fan Jun really agreed, what are you going to do, will you give up your wish to pacify Ba Yuan?"
Shao Wu said with a smile: "Even if Fan Jun wants to agree, Bo Jun will not agree, and Bo Rang will not let Fan Jun agree." In case Fan Jun really agreed, it doesn't matter. After I pacify the Silk Country, I can establish Fan Kang as a feudal monarch and take the current border of the Fan State as his fief, but he can no longer claim to inherit the orthodoxy of the Ba State. And I will proclaim myself King Ba, and worship you as the god of national sacrifice on Ba Yuan.
At that time, the overall situation of Ba Yuan has been decided, and I don't have to attack Fan Mur Country again. As you said, all branches of the clan claim to have inherited the orthodoxy of Pakistan, and the dispute over the name of righteousness is non-negotiable. I have won the position of patriarch in Baichuan City, and it is justified to do so, and Fan Kang has to surrender if he does not surrender. At that time, if he wants to disobey again, it will not be that I have not kept my promise. ”
There seemed to be a deep groan in his eyes, and after a while, he said: "You are a person who is prepared for everything, but it is inevitable that unexpected situations will happen, so wait and see what happens." ...... You originally planned to go to Meng Yingqiu to find me, but apart from asking about the situation in Bayuan, is there anything else to do?"
Shaowu: "May I ask Shaomiao, I want to ask her to go down the mountain and return to the capital, I wonder if the Holy Queen can agree?"
Fate: "If the disciple wants to leave the mountain, as long as he does not violate the rules of the sect, the sect cannot stop it, let alone Shaomiao? ”
Shao Wu smiled: "I'm not in a hurry, and I'm happy to see Shaomiao's cultivation go further, I'm afraid that someone will be in a hurry." My junior brother Pan Gu, you should also know the details, it is the current Zhenxi general Pan Yuan clan in the country. After he cultivated to Dacheng and led the army to pacify the remnants of Xiangmuroguo, I planned to marry Shaomiao to him, but then it was delayed because of the affairs of Zheng Muruguo, and good things should be achieved as soon as possible. ”
Fate: "I see that Shaomiao's cultivation has been achieved, and it will be above you in the future." She and Pan Gu are not ordinary people, they are only in their early twenties, and they are still very young in terms of their cultivation, so it is not a delay. ...... You haven't told anyone about this yet, have you?"
Shaowu: "I haven't told anyone yet, but I don't need to tell me." Pan Gu has been thinking about Shaomiao for almost ten years, but it was not very suitable in the past, as a young seedling, every move is very sensitive, and today it is okay. To be honest, I've been working hard for them. (To be continued......)
