Chapter 970 National War (Final)
The winter wind keeps creeping in through the gaps of the big tent, impatiently trying to sweep away all the tenderness inside, and it goes round and round.
Xie Yuan sat on the handsome seat,
In front of him, there were two stacks of military newspapers.
He's seen it all,
No,
To be precise,
I've seen it so many times in the past few days.
The curtain of the handsome tent was lifted from the outside, bringing in more cold wind, which made the pages of the book rattle.
Xiong Tingshan walked in, and there were three people standing beside him.
A surnamed Zhao, Zhaohan, over fifty years old, the old patriarch of the Zhao clan died of illness two years ago, and now he is the contemporary patriarch of the Zhao clan;
A surnamed Shi, named Shi Yong, is the successor of the Shi family and serves in the Royal Guards;
The last one is an eunuch. Da Chu does not have the position of a military eunuch. To a certain extent, the nobles of Da Chu who have a deep moral obsession disdain eunuchs, so for a long time, the status of eunuchs in Da Chu has not been high.
It is precisely because of this that he was left in the army to relay news from the emperor to the frontlines. The emperor promised Xie Yuan not to interfere in the frontline wars, so he left a person with a very low status here to prevent other ultra vires.
The five people in the commander's tent right now can be said to be the real talkers in the entire frontline camp of Chu State.
This time Xiong Tingshan was not aggressive, let alone aggressive, but took the initiative to walk to a seating area next to him and sit down.
The other three also took their seats.
Xie Yu'an raised his head, glanced at the four people below, and said nothing.
The atmosphere in the handsome tent went from the original silence to the silence.
finally,
The first to break the silence,
It's Eunuch Wu.
Eunuch Wu got up cautiously, did not stand in the middle, and did not deliberately choke his throat, but his voice was still very weak:
"Your Majesty has a reply."
Xiong Tingshan, Zhaohan, and Shi Yong stood up at the same time, ready to step out and kneel down;
Even Xie Yu'an, who was sitting on the handsome seat like a wooden figure, put his hands on the table at this moment, ready to get up.
"This is not an imperial decree, nor is it a verbal order. His Majesty has said that he will not make any decrees on the frontline affairs, so please sit back and listen."
Everyone hesitated, but Xie Yu'an sat down first;
Seeing this, the rest of the people went back to their seats and sat down.
"Your Majesty said, he read Xie Zhuguo's letter.
His Majesty said, thank you Zhuguo for your hard work.
His Majesty finally said that matters on the front line are still decided by Dudu Xie. "
After Eunuch Wu finished speaking, he saluted everyone present, sat down, and continued to smile.
Xie Yu'an took a serious look at Eunuch Wu, he didn't believe that the emperor would really fully delegate power, otherwise Eunuch Wu, the "speaker", wouldn't need to come in with him at this time;
The Zhao family represents the inherent forces similar to the Dugu family who have long surrendered to the emperor;
The Shi family represents the headquarters faction of the Royal Guards;
Prince Ding represents the large-scale Shanyue faction in the army;
I, or in other words, the Xie family behind me, represents the aristocratic power that although declining, can barely be called a skinny camel.
The rest of the blanks will be filled by the emperor;
It came so neatly, so directly, and so justly, if it hadn't been discussed in advance, if there wasn't an inclination in mind, Xie Yu'an wouldn't believe it.
Shi Yong said: "Captain, the last general has the courage to speak up."
"It's hard to say, but it's okay to say it."
"Yes, Xie Zhuguo's letter, I believe the governor has also read it."
Xie Yuan was noncommittal.
Shi Yong stood up,
continued:
"According to the news from the internal guards of our Fengchao in the east of Jin, the imperial court of the state of Yan sent 200,000 Yan troops to support the east of Jin. After completing the autumn harvest, only a small number chose to go east to Nanguan, and most of them went to the southwest. The direction is shifted.
Therefore, the general believes that the main force of the 200,000 reinforcements from the Yan Kingdom court should have entered the territory of our Great Chu, but they did not go out of Shanggu County through the Zhennan Pass, but entered from Mount Meng. "
Xie Yu'an said, "Mengshan is difficult to walk on."
Shi Yong immediately followed up and said: "Captain, although the Yan people have not been in a hurry to build a large-scale navy over the years, they have never stopped building water conservancy, especially the former fifth prince of the Yan Kingdom. The current Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry even went to the lower reaches of the Wangjiang River to inspect river engineering twice in five years.
Moreover, the royal mansion in the east of Jin seems to be particularly fascinated by this kind of construction. Today's Mengshan Mountain may not be so difficult to walk, even if it is difficult to walk, after such a long time, batches of land transportation, it will not be so difficult. It can be shipped.
And the most difficult part of Mengshan is that it is difficult to import large-scale food supplies from the rear, and the logistics are difficult to last, which does not mean that it is difficult for people and horses to move an inch.
Otherwise, how would the Regent enter Chu by boat?
How could Nian Yao, a sinner, be able to attack Fancheng from the north?
In addition, over the years, Fan City should have stored a lot of food, grass and military supplies, which should be enough for the Yan army's temporary needs.
After transporting a huge army, there will be a quick battle instead of protracted time. The general believes that it is more than enough. "
Xie Yuan raised her head,
road:
"The land of Jin is vast and flat, and the cavalry of the Yan people are like the wind. Moreover, the land in the east of Jin is almost completely controlled by that palace. As far as the palace is concerned, it is not a difficult task at all."
"Does the governor not believe in the loyalty of my Fengchao inner guard? The governor thinks that my Fengchao inner guard sent back false news?"
Xie Yu'an shook his head, and said: "Fengchao's inner guards, especially those in Yandi, are all good friends of my great Chu."
"The governor..."
"But the problem is, if that palace wants to, it can completely deceive everyone. Even their own officials have a hard time figuring out where their army is going and which way they are going."
"How is it possible..."
"Nothing is impossible." Xie Yu'an glanced at Shi Yong, and said very frankly: "Your Shi family has been a pure minister for a long time, and there is no big fief and no other thoughts.
Let's put it this way,
If I, Mrs. Xie, want to rebel,
It is completely possible to let Xie's soldiers go west, and at the same time, the Fengchao internal guard report presented to you on the desk of the Shi family is going east. "
This example was given too violently, so violently that everyone in the room didn't know how to respond.
Xie Yu'an continued:
"The land is your land, the people are your people, and the soldiers are your soldiers. Even the fish in the stream obey your orders. At this time, if the land is bigger, it is not difficult to hide the sky and the sea in your own land. .
I Xie Shi so,
His regent is in the east of Jin, and he will only be worse than me, Xie. "
Shi Yong pursed his lips and sat down.
Zhaohan got up and said, "What the governor said is that the affairs of Jin, we can say that the mountains are like a generation away, but what about the affairs of Chu? People in Yan are very cautious, but they still showed their hands and feet in Sansuo County and Liusha County. A cavalry force of tens of thousands moved towards Fan City from east to west more than a month ago.
This is the mobilization of the elite of the Jindong Army, and it will never be faked.
This is enough to prove and explain that not only the main force of the Yan people's court has entered Chuxi, but also nearly half of the main force of the Jindong Army led by the regent opposite has been transferred to Chuxi.
Because the defense line of our three counties is impenetrable, the Yan people have nothing to do, so they can only look for breakthroughs in other directions. The direction the Yan people are looking for is in Chuxi, in Guyue City, and in... Xie Zhuguo.
at this point……"
Xie Yu'an suddenly sneered,
road:
"Half of the Jindong elites in front of us have gone to Sansuo County and Liusha County to Chuxi? How are you sure, Uncle Zhao?"
"Everything has traces to follow."
"Then how did the Duguzhu Kingdom be blocked by the Yan army outside Fancheng for no apparent reason?" Xie Yu'an asked back, "Among the Yan people, no, it was the Eastern Jin army, with too many generals, and cavalry Covering the battlefield is what they are best at."
"It's different, Commander, when the regent left Zhennanguan to Fancheng, the method of concealment was to make a picture for a while, so that I, Da Chu, could not tell his movements for a while.
How is it possible that there are really no traces left?
Besides, time has passed so long, hasn't it?
In addition, the Yan people originally used worthless savage slaves to infiltrate and ravage our three counties. Why did they suddenly switch to the soldiers and horses of the Yan people's imperial court more than a month ago?
The autumn harvest is over long ago, and the common people have long gathered together and been protected by our army. Now, for the Yan people, they have little credit and many casualties. Why do they do this?
Could it be because the regent looked down on the military strength of the imperial court and asked them to train in advance? "
Xie Yuan looked at Zhaohan,
road:
"Why do you think so?"
"The purpose is to give us a false impression and create a situation where there are many soldiers behind his camp.
Furthermore, why have the Yan people built a large number of camps and fortifications like crazy in the past few months?
Did the Yan people invade our Chu country, or did our Chu army invade Qiyan land?
The call of a large number of civilians, the construction of a large number of projects, in fact...
It is the old maze, which is used as a cover.
He has a guilty conscience! "
"Oh." Xie Yu'an nodded and asked back, "Do you think that the Regent of the Yan Kingdom, the nominal son-in-law of our Great Chu, Zheng Fan whose hands were stained with the blood of the three pillars of our Great Chu,
Will he feel guilty?
If he really wants to cover up,
Why not do nothing?
He just closed the gate,
No,
Even if he leaves the gate of the village wide open for you to see,
Is it possible that I, Chu Jun, have nothing to do and take the initiative to fight out? "
Zhaohan paused for a while, but continued: "Yesterday, there was a new report from the west into the commander's account."
Xie Yu'an didn't hide anything,
nodded and said:
"It's a letter from my father. What I see is the same as what you see."
"In that case, why doesn't the governor believe in Xie Zhuguo's judgment?"
"My father is not a god, my father will make mistakes."
"Xie Zhuguo saw it with his own eyes, why is it wrong? Xie Zhuguo used himself as a bait, sacrificed his life for righteousness, attracted the main force of the Yan army, and created such a god-sent opportunity for our army on the front line. Commander, why have you been shrinking!"
Xie Yu'an pressed his hand,
road:
"Say, what should we do?"
Zhaohan licked his lips, took a deep breath, and said:
"It's too late to rush to the aid of Ancient Yue City."
Saying this, Zhaohan couldn't help paying attention to Xie Yu'an's expression, seeing that Xie Yu'an's expression was normal,
continued:
"The regent claims to have 500,000 troops into Chu, but the real soldiers are at most 200,000, or even less than 200,000.
Counting the troops drawn to the west, there should be only a hundred thousand soldiers under the regent king in front of him.
Originally, the reason why our army chose to shrink from the beginning of the confrontation was because at the beginning, although our army was superior in strength, its combat power...may be equal to that of the Yan army;
But in the past few months, a large number of soldiers and horses have been transferred to the three counties to enrich the frontier army. The reinforcements of the Yan Kingdom that our army was afraid of were not in Shanggu County, and the troops and horses of the headquarters under the regent king had changed less and less. weak.
So now,
Our army can go north with five armies at the same time, not only to defeat the Yan army in front of us, but also have a great chance to push into Shanggu County...
and even,
Because the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Jin Dynasty are out in full force this time, the defense of Zhennan Pass must be weak.
If we can take Zhennan Pass,
Then the situation of our Great Chu and Yan Kingdom will be reversed immediately!
Even if the Yan army still has a large number of soldiers and horses stagnant in my Chuxi, as long as our army is stuck at Zhennan Pass, what can he do?
at most,
It's all about returning to Fan City, and how much you can withdraw by then is really hard to say! "
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
Xie Yuan applauded,
Admired:
"Your words really make my heart surge, as if the revival of my Great Chu is just around the corner."
"The governor has something to say, but he can speak it out."
Xie Yu'an stood up directly,
Kicked over the desk in front of him,
scolded:
"What's the fight, what's the use of fighting, we all washed up and slept together, don't we have everything in our dreams!
Qu Tiannan thought the same way as you back then!
Nian Yao thought the same way as you back then!
Shi Yuantang thought the same way as you back then!
There is also the Duguzhu Kingdom, there are too many, why can't I change this problem in my Chu people's mind?
best case,
Not only expelled the regent from Shanggu County, but also took back Zhennanguan. Well, the general trend of the world has been pulled back by me again!
But have you ever thought about it,
What if the bet is lost?
I have an army of hundreds of thousands in Chu,
one after another,
across the Wei River,
into the upper valley,
Once the bet is lost,
How many children can swim back alive again?
Without the hundreds of thousands of imperial guards blocking the main forces in these three counties,
The horseshoe of the Yan people,
You can go to Gyeonggi day and night!
I am big Chu,
There will be no room for turning around! "
At this time,
Xiong Tingshan stood up,
Said very calmly:
"So, in case the Yan people really did this, our prediction was right, but we didn't do anything.
Governor,
You want to just sit like this,
Waiting for news of his father's death in battle? "
"That's my father. Even if he dies, it's my only son who will cry for him!"
Xiong Tingshan roared:
"Yes, you can lose your father, but I, Da Chu, can no longer bear the loss of the inexplicable loss of one and the last Zhu country, do you know!"
"..." Xie Yu'an.
Xiong Tingshan stretched out his hand, pointing outside the handsome tent,
Continue to shout:
"Shanggu has long been lost due to the change of hands in Nanguan. Liusha County and Sansuo County have long been enclaves. Fancheng fell there, and it is also a county that has been corrupted;
What's more, the front line where our army is now is also the land of the three counties, which has been reduced to a battlefield!
Although my great Chu has a vast territory, the real essence of my great Chu is not in the south of Chu, but in the north of Chu.
His surname is Zheng,
He came here this year and returned without success, so he can go back.
Come again next year, and again the year after!
I'm big Chu, how many times can I last, can I still see hope! "
Xiong Tingshan pointed at Shi Yong, pointed at Zhaohan,
Pointing to Eunuch Wu again:
"Don't you think they don't know, don't you know your Majesty, even, don't you think you don't know?
What is the result of being a coward all the time?
Being beaten every year, being consumed like this every year, hehehe.
One goes up and down, another goes up, and in the end, I, the people of Chu, can't it be that I can only pray to the great witch to correct them, and to curse the regent or the emperor of Yan to death before they can turn around?
If they are still alive and live for a long time, I am so embarrassed, I will die of aggrieved, so aggrieved...with no power to fight back.
It doesn't even take him, Zheng Fan, to lead the troops over in person,
He can let his next generation lead the army, and he can easily overthrow this weak Chu...to the ground!
Our country of Chu is not a country of Qian. The country of Qian has a rich land in the south of the Yangtze River. How long can the south of Chu, my great Chu, last for my great Chu?
Thank you Dudu,
In fact, these principles,
We all understand, originally, we agreed with your strategy, hold on, hold on to a hope, for Chu people, hold on to an opportunity to see the weather tomorrow.
so,
Dudu Xie, you shouldn't think that we are forcing you today,
None of us dared to bet,
Even His Majesty dare not gamble!
it's your father
It's your father,
He has already sent himself, the Xie family, and my entire Great Chu to the gambling table!
one,
A table that we simply can't afford to lose.
If Xie Zhuguo died in battle, it meant that the main force of the Yan army was indeed in Chuxi.
With the death of Xie Zhuguo, I will be my great Chu, and continue for another sixty years! "
Xie Yu'an was a little lost, and sat back on the handsome seat.
But soon,
He regained his senses,
reach out,
holding his forehead,
Suddenly laughed:
"Hehehe, hahahaha..."
Xie Yu'an stretched out his hand and wiped his face vigorously,
Looked up,
grinned grinningly:
"So, at this moment, plan for my great Chu, plan for my Chu people, and plan for this national war;
The governor can only pray,
my dad
Die early, right? "
