Chapter 253: Fighting and Peace
The will of the imperial court soon reached the border passes.
After Chen Qingzhi received the will, he was very puzzled.
Huo Quzhi and others stepped forward to inquire, and he told the truth, saying: "Your Majesty's intention is that we will launch a certain scale of battles against the Jin State one after another, and it is best to force the Jin State to bow its head and admit its mistakes. ”
"Force Jin Guo to bow his head and admit his mistakes?"
Huo Quzhi, Bai Qi, and Yue Fei were all a little surprised after silently reciting this sentence in their hearts.
Is the imperial court so confident now?
Isn't the country building a canal?
If this battle continues, it is likely to rise to the level of a national war!
And now it's freezing outside, and it's not suitable for the soldiers to continue fighting!
Is this really His Majesty's decision?
It's kind of puzzling.
Chen Qingzhi said to them again: "Since the imperial court has issued an order, let's make preparations, convene the generals, and discuss the tents." ”
The three of them clasped their fists together and said, "Yes! Marshal!"
After a while, all the generals guarding the border pass gathered in Chen Qingzhi's camp.
In the middle of his tent, there was a huge sand table.
The geography of mountains and rivers and the detailed deployment of the Jin army are all here.
Chen Qingzhi first said to the generals: "Your Majesty's intention is for us to continue to attack the Jin army, to make a long story short, the Jin army has already shown signs of increasing troops at our border passes, but for the time being, I have not learned that they want to launch a large-scale campaign, it should only be a preliminary pressure on us."
According to the report from the spies, they have gathered 300,000 troops on the border, and what we have to do next is to completely defeat the 300,000 Jin troops hoarded at the border!"
Chen Qingzhi's words were amazing.
When you think about it, that's his style of doing things.
If he didn't have a little guts, how could he break the Jin Kingdom in a row?
All the soldiers were silent for a while, and the cold and the ground were freezing to start the war, and it was the soldiers who suffered!
However, they understood what the battle meant.
Whoever wins from this war means that he has the initiative in the Three Emperors Alliance.
Once the initiative is grasped, in the future, the three kingdoms are likely to be led by Wei.
This is an opportunity for the Wei State, an opportunity that needs to be snatched by war.
So, they are caught in a dilemma.
Of course, Chen Qingzhi knew what their concerns were.
But the emperor's order was in front and had to be from.
Chen Qingzhi continued: "No matter what you think in your hearts, this war must be won, so you need to prepare quickly, and our soldiers of the Wei State should be afraid of all difficulties and dangers to complete the mission given by the imperial court." ”
After hearing this, the soldiers finally responded: "Obey the marshal's orders!"
Chen Qingzhi spoke again: "Ben Shuai has already informed Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and asked them to do whatever it takes to spy on the enemy's intelligence. Now, appointed by the marshal.
Ordered Bai Qi to be the vanguard, Huo Qubing and Yue Fei as the deputy vanguard, led 100,000 horses, and immediately called the Jin army. The rest of the generals immediately transfer their troops, gather all the forces that can be used in one place, and act as the Chinese army, ready to fight the enemy at any time!"
When all the soldiers heard this, they all stood up and said, "Follow the marshal's order!"
They did not object to the three rising stars serving as the vanguard, because they all knew the strength of their war from the battle a few days ago, so it was reasonable for the three of them to serve as the vanguard and rush to the front line.
On the side of the Jin army.
When Emperor Jin learned that the Wei army had taken the initiative to start a war, he pretended to be angry with the ministers and generals of all forces, and said: "The Wei State has deceived people too much! The Three Emperors Alliance is imminent, and they still dare to do such a thing.
Emperor Jin is middle-aged, and his personal momentum is very strong, and when he speaks, he is invisibly domineering.
In fact, Wei Jun's actions were a scene he wanted him to see.
As long as there is a war, you can deflect the contradictions in the country and buy time for yourself.
It can be said that he still appreciates what the Emperor of Wei did, and everyone takes what they need, this tacit understanding is not something that everyone has!
He is worthy of being a good son-in-law.
However, where does Zhao Changqing have any tacit understanding with him, it's just that everything he does is in line with his own interests.
Bi Zheng, the minister of the Jin State, was a royalist, and he stood in the current interests of the Jin State and said to the Jin Emperor: "Your Majesty, Emperor Wei is young and arrogant, but he does have some ability. If we have a hard fight with the Wei State, I am afraid that it will be difficult for our Jin State to take advantage of anything, so Weichen thinks that there are only two things to do for the Wei State at present.
First, negotiate peace. This move is not really a peace negotiation, as long as this move can be used to delay the military action of Wei, it will be counted.
Second, slam the punch. Either you don't fight, or if you do, you will beat Wei Guo for fear and pain, otherwise the wolf ambition of Wei State will definitely fight to the end with my Jin State!
As long as the Wei army can be completely defeated before the Three Emperors Alliance, then this Three Emperors Alliance will be dominated by my Jin Kingdom. ”
Emperor Jin has always relied on Bi Zheng, although his personality is sometimes very difficult, but his brain is so good!
Therefore, sometimes, Emperor Jin often tried his best to overcome difficulties and adopt Bi Zheng's opinions.
This time is not unexpected.
After all, as soon as he finished speaking, there were many people who stood up and opposed it.
Say anything.
Some people say that the alliance of the Three Emperors is in front, and it is not suitable to launch a large-scale campaign with Wei;
Some people say that there are just some misunderstandings between the Jin State and the Wei State, as long as the misunderstanding is cleared up with the Wei State.
However, no matter what they said, Emperor Jin supported Bi Zheng with iron heart, and he got up and said to the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have thought about it for a long time, and decided to take Bi Zheng's opinion, since Wei is determined to fight, we must not weaken the momentum of our Jin State." This is also the meaning of my insistence on amassing troops on the frontier. ”
When the ministers heard this, it was difficult to refute it.
The main reason is that, in addition to the Beiliang realm, the army that opposed Emperor Jin at the beginning was injured in the successive battles.
And now the forces of all parties are definitely second to none in terms of military strength.
So, naturally, his voice has increased a lot now.
Meanwhile.
Bai Qi and the other three gathered the army at the border pass.
Once again, a skirmish campaign was launched against the Jin army.
In this battle, both sides suffered casualties on each other, and neither took advantage of anyone.
Two days later, I learned from the intelligence obtained by Jinyiwei that the troops now gathered in the frontier were the most elite troops of the Jin State and were directly under the jurisdiction of the Jin Emperor.
