Chapter 1158: Thirty Years Hedong, Thirty Years Hexi
Min Ruoying nodded slightly. He hadn't thought about this before.
"Since that's the case, why do you have to attack? It should be noted that even though Qi is a little weak now, it is still much stronger than me, the Great Chu." He asked back at Bian Wushuang.
"Your Majesty, we are not going to compete with Qi for life and death, but to regain Kunling Pass." Bian Wushuang said: "Only by regaining Kunling Pass, connecting the six eastern counties back into a front line, and then using Jinghu as the second line of defense to support the front, only then can Da Chu have a foothold in the future. Otherwise, Qi will occupy the six eastern counties, attacking and defending are all within their thoughts. If the six eastern counties are losing, Da Chu will have no strategic buffering space. Once Qi launches a large-scale attack, every battle will be a life-and-death battle. If one loses, Jinghu cannot be defended, and Jinghu cannot be defended, then Chu cannot be defended, and if the heart is not defended, how can Da Chu?"
Min Ruoying took a long breath, and Bian Wushuang said it very well, but Cheng Wuben was desperate to collect people in Jinghutun because Jinghu couldn't afford to lose even one game, and everything would be over if he lost one game.
"Of course it makes sense, but now, do we have the opportunity to regain the six eastern counties?" Min Ruoying still has a clear understanding of the current strength of the Great Chu, and Cheng Wuben did not think that the Great Chu has the ability to regain the six eastern counties now.
"If Guo Xian became the coach, it would be really difficult to accomplish, but if Zhou Jiyun was the general, we would have a great opportunity." Bian Wushuang seemed confident.
“Why do you say that?”
"Cao Yun of Qi State resigned from the position of Grand Marshal because of his great achievements. The troops in the world were led by him. After defeating His Majesty, he had to retreat. After he retreated, if he was talking about military achievements, Zhou Jiyun should actually take over. But Cao Tiancheng chose Guo Xiancheng."
"I know the truth about this. Behind Zhou Jiyun is the strong family in the country of Daqi, and the Zhou family is the leader. Since Cao Tiancheng has decided to destroy the power of the domestic aristocratic families, how could Zhou Jiyun become the leader of the army of Daqi? Guo Xiancheng was defeated and lacked prestige, and he was born in Long Xiang. He was originally promoted from a poor family, so he naturally followed the leader of Emperor Cao Tiancheng."
"But Zhou Jiyun did not give up, or it could be said that the aristocratic families of Qi had not given up yet. They wanted to fight with all their might. If Zhou Jiyun made new achievements, defeated the Jinghu defense line, invaded the hinterland of Da Chu, and destroyed Da Chu, then the position of the great general would be his. If Zhou Jiyun really did this, I am afraid that Cao Tiancheng's efforts to wipe out all the forces of the aristocratic families in the world would eventually fail." Bian Wushuang said meaningfully.
Min Ruoying's eyes lit up, "In other words, if we launch a large-scale counterattack on the six eastern counties, Zhou Jiyun will definitely be eager to win."
"He is eager to win, but their emperor is unwilling to win a big victory. This is our opportunity." Bian Wushuang nodded: "Zhou Jiyun was also a leader in military affairs, but with this intention, he lost his normal mind. He could only win, not lose. This road is easy to go, which will inevitably make him worry about gains and losses. More importantly, he did not get the full support of Emperor Qi, and before the war started, he would cut off his own arm. How could we not win?"
"Will Emperor Qi really watch him fail?" Min Ruoying became a little worried about gains and losses.
"Your Majesty thinks that Cao Tiancheng thinks that the six eastern counties are important, or is it more important for him to destroy all the aristocratic families in China?" Bian Wushuang asked with a smile.
Min Ruoying pondered for a while, "Cao Tiancheng was extremely proud. He had wiped out the 200,000 troops in the eastern part of Great Chu. He was afraid that he would not take us in his heart. In my guess, he would definitely see the integration of domestic forces more important than the six eastern counties. He even believed that even if we retake the six eastern counties, he could still fight again in the future. Moreover, most of the troops led by Zhou Jiyun of the six eastern counties came from aristocratic families, so this battle
, If Zhou Jiyun wins, the six eastern counties can be saved and can once again defeat my great Chu's spirit. Moreover, since my great Chu deliberately counterattacks, even if Zhou Jiyun wins, he will lose a lot of people. He also thinks it is weakening the power of the aristocratic family. As long as Jinghu defends it, Zhou Jiyun will not be able to attack my great Chu's heart. If Zhou Jiyun loses, he will use our hands to eliminate the greatest power of the aristocratic family, and he will not lose."
"Your Majesty is wise, that's the reason." Bian Wushuang nodded repeatedly. "The six eastern counties were not in Cao Tiancheng's eyes. His previous offensive against the Great Chu was just to destroy the 200,000 eastern border troops of the Great Chu, so that when he integrated the country, the Great Chu was unable to pose a threat to him. Now that the purpose has been achieved, he naturally would not pay attention to the six eastern counties. The six eastern counties were optional for Qi, but for the Great Chu, life and death were hanging on the front line. Therefore, it was necessary to attack, and it was necessary to take down the six eastern counties to form a vast strategic buffer zone before the Jinghu defense line."
Min Ruoying nodded repeatedly. At this point, he was completely convinced by Bian Wushuang. Looking at the quiet middle-aged man in front of him, Min Ruoying couldn't help but admire this man in Yuefa.
Bian Wushuang not only has military capabilities that are no less than Cheng Wuben, but also gives people a sense of spring breeze when talking to others, without the oppression of Cheng Wuben at all. He is also more knowledgeable and tactful. Like the previous analysis, I believe Bian Wushuang had a conclusion in his mind, but he guided him to say it. It seemed that he had not figured it out before. After this guidance, he was like seeing the moon. Although he knew that this was just a little trick of Bian Wushuang, Min Ruoying still felt very comfortable.
"If we take over the six eastern counties, how should we deal with Qi Ming's strength in the future?" Min Ruoying is now very clear-headed, realizing that the current strength of Da Chu is not only not as good as that of Qi, but also incomparable to the Ming Dynasty, which was not long ago, is not even comparable to that of the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, whether it is Qi or Chu, the ultimate goal of both of them is to unify the world. However, the weak Chu does not mean failure, and there are still many opportunities."
"Where is the opportunity?"
"If the Ming Dynasty attacks Chu, there are only two points. One is that after they occupied the Great Qin Dynasty, they crossed the Luoying Mountains. Da Chu only needs to defend the well and pass through the Ji Pass to retreat even though they know the difficulties. The other point is from Izumo County to Xinning. However, Izumo County is flat, and the territory in Xinning County is steep. If you want to attack yourself, you can only attack along the road. The governor of Xinning County Wu Teng has been thriving in Xinning over the years. His troops are also elite in the fierce battles with Qi, so it is extremely difficult for the Ming people to attack Chu. Once they cannot quickly get out of Da Chu and fall into the quarrel with Chu, wouldn't it be cheaper for Qi people?"
"It makes sense!" Min Ruoying nodded repeatedly.
"Where are the Qi people? We have the six eastern counties as the depth and use the Jinghu defense line as the basis. The Qi people will definitely find it difficult to succeed unless they raise a large army to attack. By the same token, if they fall into the six eastern counties and Jinghu, then the Ming people can drive straight into Zhaoguan?" Bian Wushuang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, at that time, although the Great Chu is weaker than the Ming and Qi countries, neither of these two countries can offend. None of them dares to attack our Great Chu first. Then the only possibility is that they will fight against each other. Because neither of these two takes my Great Chu seriously."
Min Ruoying snorted. Bian Wushuang said it very reasonably, but with a strong sense of self-esteem, he still felt extremely uncomfortable. Once upon a time, Da Chu was so weak that it was disdainful. He clenched his fists tightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Why should your Majesty be sad? Two tigers will eventually get hurt. Although my Great Chu is weak, I can take advantage of this rare opportunity to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight while working hard to develop my own strength. In thirty years, Hebei and thirty years, how can I know that my Great Chu will not rule the world in the future?" Bian Wushuang said with great force. "It's just a matter of man-made things. What's the matter with Ming Kingdom, when it first rose in the Forefront? Can it be compared to Your Majesty today?"
Min Ruoying stood up, her face flushed, and she walked around the room quickly. Bian Wushuang also stood up, stood with her hands behind her back, lowered her head slightly.
"Okay, very good!" Min Ruoying suddenly stood in front of Bian Wushuang: "It's a pity that you came to my Da Chu a little late! If you had a talent like you earlier, how could Da Chu be like this?"
Bian Wushuang smiled bitterly: "If the Ming Dynasty had not been powerful and the Qin Emperor was suspicious of me, how could I have left my hometown?"
"Don't worry, Ma Yue doesn't need you. That's his ignorance of ignorance. When I arrived at my great Chu, there are places where you show your strength. I don't doubt you." Min Ruoying said forcefully.
Bian Wushuang laughed in his heart. Of course, Min Ruoying didn't have to doubt me. His 50,000 army entered Chu, 10,000 were left in Anyang, and 20,000 were about to go to various parts of Chu to suppress the rebellion. It was also demolished to pieces. Only the last 20,000 people were left. They would follow him to the eastern front. They were weak, and the military supplies and logistics were all in the hands of the Chu people. Min Ruoying naturally didn't have to doubt himself.
In his eyes, he must be a good knife! It can not only be used to kill Qi people, but also to kill Ming people. In his eyes, the Ming emperor Qin Feng, who forced himself to leave his hometown and flee, must be the person he hated the most in his heart.
More importantly, with himself, he finally no longer has to worry about Cheng Wuben!
Cheng Wuben is indeed a good general in the world, but he is definitely not inferior to him. Or he is slightly inferior to the opponent in defense, but he is better than Cheng Wuben in offense. In comparison, Bian Wushuang feels that he is a little bit stronger than Cheng Wuben. After all, the way of war is just relying on defense, but he cannot win.
