Chapter 994 Zhu Zhen’s decision

The border garrison of Wei State is adjacent to Liang Army, which is determined by the geographical location.

These two countries are located in the southeast and southwest of Daning respectively. They are roughly in the shape of a triangle. There should be more intersecting border lines. But in fact, where they are adjacent to Wei State, most of them are rivers, and where they are adjacent to Liang State, they are mostly rivers.

For mountains and rivers.

Rivers and mountains also became the best obstacles to the army's advance, so the corresponding land garrisons were mainly concentrated in Huaizhou and Yuanzhou.

Originally, the two kingdoms of Wei and Liang were located in the east and west. They had the conditions to attack Daning together before, but now the alliance is closer.

Due to the close distance, Zhu Zhen quickly met with Fan Huazang, the general stationed on the border of Wei State, under stepped-up arrangements.

The two countries' alliance, intelligence sharing, and military mutual assistance are also matters of agreement.

I have contacted them before, and the Wei State responded quickly, cooperating with Liang Jun's military exercises, and even the navy was mobilized to the southeastern area of ​​Daning to put pressure.

Zhu Zhen was very satisfied with this. As the alliance deepened, the cooperation between the two parties became more and more harmonious. At least they had the same attitude towards Daning!

He explained the situation directly and straightforwardly. When Daning was attacked by the Northern Yi, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to advance. He asked the Wei State to jointly send troops, even if it was a drain on its troops and national power.

This can also reduce their stress.

Anyway, the contradiction has been clarified, and millions of troops have been lost. Why do you care about the reason?

Just hit it!

Fan Huazang was a general of the Wei army stationed on the border. He was in his fifties. Although his beard was all white, he had a strong body.

He was a famous general in the Wei State and should be considered an old acquaintance of Zhu Zhen. When the Wei and Liang Kingdoms faced off, they were the two commanders in chief.

Now, it is heading towards the alliance.

Zhu Zhen is also very direct.

"What His Royal Highness the Prince said is correct. This is indeed a good opportunity."

Fan Huazang said: "It's just that such a big matter cannot be decided by the commander in one word. It needs to be reported to His Majesty."

Zhu Zhen nodded.

He could also understand that Fan Huazang's identity was different from his.

"Just this back-and-forth performance has delayed the opportunity to fight again."

Zhu Zhen said: "What if Daning catches his breath slowly?"

"General Fan should know that Daning has built military garrison on the border. In the past few years, it has reached a large scale. Our scouts went to investigate and learned that there was a bumper harvest this year and the border garrison should be self-sufficient. This is very important to us.

It’s extremely detrimental.”

Zhu Zhen looked solemn.

This is why he is so urgent.

He said he was disdainful, but in fact he felt a strong sense of urgency in his heart.

Various reforms in Daning have been completed and have begun to bear fruit. Its national power is becoming stronger and stronger. As time goes by, the gap will become wider and wider!

"So, you want to take advantage of winter to launch a war?"

Fan Huazang immediately understood the intention of the Liang Crown Prince.

He sees the opportunity to attack, and he also wants to seize the opportunity to rob!

The Liang Kingdom is no longer what it used to be, and the border garrison was reorganized into a town border army, but the supply of food and supplies was still in short supply.

This is because they know that Daning’s military camp has a good harvest, and they want to go and plunder it!

There is no problem with this idea.

only……

Fan Huazang covered up the hesitation in his heart and said: "I have to report to Your Majesty, but I believe that Your Majesty will be able to see the situation clearly and send troops decisively. However, this has no purpose, and I dare not act rashly. I hope Your Highness will understand.

"

"It's better than this. We are ready to carry out military exercises to put pressure on the enemy to ensure that the Huaizhou garrison does not move and will never affect Liang Jun!"

"In addition, I can call the shots and mobilize more than ten thousand strong archers to enter the Liang camp and wear Liang uniforms to fight!"

Zhu Zhen's eyes lit up.

The powerful archers of the Wei Dynasty are very famous archers on the mainland and are also a powerful force in the Wei Kingdom.

The bows and arrows they use are specially made, are more powerful and have a longer range than ordinary bows and arrows.

Moreover, all of them are very accurate in their archery skills, making them the nemesis of the cavalry.

"In addition, we can also provide a certain amount of military supplies... Do you think this is okay?"

Fan Huazang looked at Zhu Zhen.

"If Your Highness wants to seize the opportunity and send troops first, we can wait for His Majesty's decree to send troops immediately, or we can wait until the news is more precise, or after the beginning of spring..."

But he felt that the Crown Prince of Liang couldn't wait any longer.

The two parties are not far apart and have an alliance, so they probably know about Liang Jun's situation.

The border army has been formed, but the army of 300,000 people is stationed with 300,000 mouths. The daily consumption is huge, and it has not yet been settled.

He needs to solve this problem urgently.

I want to cross the border and loot to relieve the food pressure...

Fan Huazang understood this and said this.

Zhu Zhen did not speak, but remained slightly silent.

He knew that this was the maximum condition that Fan Huazang could achieve within the scope of his authority. He also knew that Wei was not ready for a full-scale war with Daning, so he wanted Liang Jun to test it first.

Liang Guo did not do well either. This was only the second year of the five-year period. He just wanted to take the opportunity to attack, strengthen the momentum of the Liang army, enhance his own prestige, and also wanted to rob the enemy's hoard of food...

Wei Guo couldn't join the war immediately, so how could he still do it?

Zhu Zhen pondered, and then said: "General Fan, please report as soon as possible, so as not to delay the war as much as possible!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I understand this too."

"In addition, when will the conditions stated by General Fan be fulfilled?"

Fan Huazang was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said, "Your Highness is really brave. Are you ready to send troops?"

Zhu Zhen said nothing, his expression said everything...

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely send strong archers to you as soon as possible. Also, when you send troops, we will immediately respond with military exercises!"

"good!"

Zhu Zhen said: "For details, I will send someone else to come. Please say goodbye first!"

Once the decision was made, Zhu Zhen left immediately.

He needs to rush back to deploy.

If you want to hit me, hit me hard and fast!

The army's grain and grass supplies are already insufficient, and we don't know when the supplies will arrive from the rear, so we must find a way.

War is the only option!

"General, isn't this a little too sudden?"

After Zhu Zhen left.

A general in the camp asked.

To practice martial arts is to practice martial arts, and to apply pressure is to apply pressure. This is two different things from starting a war.

"Don't you understand yet?"

Fan Huazang said calmly: "The Crown Prince of Liang may not really want to fight. He just wants to take advantage of the troubled waters between Daning and Beiyi."

"If Daning really encounters difficulties, it will gradually expand its scale. Even if it does not, it will still benefit from the mobilization of troops. Liang Guotai needs a victory, and he himself needs one."

Hear this.

All the generals nodded subconsciously.

They all know the situation of Liang Guo.

"Listening to what I just said, this is indeed a good opportunity. Why don't we participate? The general will immediately send someone to report to the emperor and request his will."

"No need!"

Fan Huazang raised his hand to stop him.

"We, the State of Wei, will not participate for the time being. What we just said has left Zhu Zhen unable to find fault."

"Why not participate?"
Chapter completed!
