Li Cong's strategy is still very good. Just like now, the anti-Cao alliance can be said to exist in name only. Of course, Li Cong is still very different from those in the anti-Cao alliance. You guys
Everyone must be thinking about this and it will be like this. There will be no other changes. But for Li Cong, it will not be like this. As long as we have done this, then we will definitely do the next thing.
Yes, we will never give up halfway. Of course, this is a spirit. What’s more important is that this matter can bring huge benefits. In fact, Li Cong also had his own little calculation about the war between the Southern Empire and the Western Empire. If he did it
If it works well, it can be done like this. If not, there will be another problem. Sometimes these things may affect the situation of the battle. What Li Cong thought before was that if the attack did not go smoothly, then he would win.
It's enough for a few provinces to have a symbolic showdown. If it goes well, it won't be something that can be settled temporarily. Just like now, such an opportunity does not come every day. They are very likely to
Ma Pingchuan continued to kill them. For them, such a thing was not uncommon. They were very good at doing such things one by one. The 600 divisions of the Cao Family Trading Company also benefited a lot.
Yes, according to the wishes of the Cao Family Trading Company, some places can be occupied by the Southern Empire's army, and some places can be occupied jointly with them, but some places can only be occupied by oneself. Of course, those aquatic plants are more
Naturally, all good places are given to people from the Southern Empire. Why? Because those places have no strategic value.{xThose places only have immediate economic benefits. Besides, in the final analysis, those economic news are just money.
Well, we don’t lack this thing. What we lack is the ability to control the overall situation. Although the people of the Western Empire used their most courageous troops to block the troops of the Southern Empire and Cao’s Trading Company, but in front of them
This is a huge problem, how should they regain their lost ground? They knew this very clearly about the defensive ability of the Cao Family Trading Company in the past. For them, these people from the Cao Family Trading Company are not ordinary people.
They were so powerful that they killed many people one by one. But in front of the Cao Family Trading Company, they all felt like children. They couldn't do anything, especially the damn artillery.
I know how to do it. As long as that thing fires, I feel a little scared. I will immediately think of my comrades who died under that thing in the past. Such things are very normal for them.
Generally speaking, people are afraid. In fact, there is nothing to be ashamed of. But this is not a small matter in the army. Many people feel that this matter is very scary. Aren't they a very good soldier? Why?
Are you afraid? If this idea continues, you may become a deserter. This idea is definitely feasible. Each of them felt a little scared when they saw the Cao Family Trading Company's army.
In fact, this feeling is not only felt by soldiers, but also by officers. Although they won the last war, their defeat this time was really too severe. They lost hundreds of counties and cities in one day.
Is this a war?
No one in the Western Empire's court believed this battle report. They would never believe that such a thing could happen. There were hundreds of counties and cities with tens of millions of defenders. Even if these people were all stupid pigs, they would not believe it.
It is impossible to lose them all in one day. In fact, the people in the military department are basically very clear about this matter. The reason why so many cities were lost is because these armies simply did not have them when the war broke out.
At his post, it was just like a relatively large county town known to the military. Everyone inside went to gamble, and there was no one on the city wall at all. Although there were hundreds of soldiers who found it far away,
There was a large number of troops around, and they all gave warnings. Unfortunately, the enemy came too quickly, and their comrades came too slowly. There was no excuse at all, and they were just blinded by the cannons.
Then the original people on the city wall no longer dared to stand on the city wall, and ran away directly, leaving the open city gate to others. If they couldn't take down the city, they were really stupid.
And when they entered the city, they pulled the city lord out from under the bed. There were three people on the city lord’s more luxurious boat, both of them were women. It can be said that this man has done something good. He eats and drinks every day.
They enjoy having fun and don’t even think about how to defend themselves. In fact, they can’t be blamed for this matter. After they came here, they knew that there were no resistance organizations around here. Besides, there are all such occupations.
Only those with basic skills can do it. Can any general in the army suddenly become the lord of the city? That is absolutely impossible. It requires too many things to do. They gave a lot of money, and some
In order to get this position, they would have to lose everything. At that time, they would become poor people. Now that they have become the city lord, if they don't get back their previous money, they will really be sorry for themselves.
For money, this sentence is definitely not an empty talk. The Southern Empire's army found something worth tens of millions of taels of silver from the city lord's palace. It can be said that this guy has eaten the blood and sweat of many people.
, this guy also has a large mine outside the city, and the thousands of people in it are basically ordinary people here. As long as he has an order here, he will immediately have these people arrested and worked on.
If they are alive, just let them die every day. Even if they are dead, it doesn't matter. They can just bury them at Brother Zhao's place. They are all on the mountain anyway, and there is no other idea at all.
No one said anything, but even if someone knew it, it wouldn't matter. This is the city lord's territory. Those who want to speak out are simply seeking death. I really don't know what they think.
One can imagine the people under such a city lord. The city lord will not personally plunder the common people, he can only plunder these officials, and then the plundering will go on at every level.
In the end, it was the common people who suffered the loss. When the Southern Empire's army came, the city lord wanted to rely on the hundreds of thousands of common people in the city to resist for a while. As a result, the army composed of these common people immediately turned against them.
We killed this abominable guy and found all the warehouses, but this saved the Southern Empire's army a lot of time.
The imperial meeting of the Western Empire began in such an environment. The troops of the Cao Family Trading Company on the front line and the troops of the Southern Empire had temporarily stopped their attacks. Because it was raining in the area, but at most it was rainy.
In just one week, they will definitely continue to attack. In less than 30 counties and cities, the Southern Empire has taken back all the previous lands. At this time, the Western Empire really feels that it did not exert its strength at the beginning.
Let’s attack the Southern Empire again. If we really beat them all down at that time, there wouldn’t be such a powerful enemy at this time. And that damn Cao Family Trading Company, even though we were participating
This anti-Cao alliance was formed. But we haven’t done anything yet. How could such a thing happen? We didn’t do anything to you, but you all came to our door. Many of you here
The ministers probably had this idea in their hearts. They all felt very aggrieved. It seemed that this matter should not be done. Is there no other way? The emperor of the Western Empire also had a headache. He looked up.
Looking at the ministers below, the Imperial Council has not discussed military matters for I don’t know how long it has been. It was only discussed when Li Cong came here last time. Now it is basically discussing other aspects.
Things have happened. I really didn’t expect that my good days would only go by for such a period of time. Here it is again, and it’s the Cao Family Trading Company. I really don’t know if my fate is in contact with them. Last time, it seemed that
It seems that I have won, but I know very clearly what that victory is. If I can choose again, I will never want a victory like that. I have paid for it step by step.
There are quite a lot of them. The emperor of the Western Empire saw that all of his ministers were a little confused. He really didn’t know what to do. They could cause chaos, but he couldn’t. He
He is the emperor of the Western Empire. Since he was able to defeat the people of the Cao Family Trading Company last time, it will be nothing this time. He will also have such a chance. The emperor of the Western Empire said, "Everyone, it's us again this time."
It's time for the Western Empire to be in crisis. Speaking of the anti-Cao alliance, we can't count on it. The people from the Xuanyun Sect have returned. In addition to supporting us with some money, they have nothing else.
Needless to say, the forces in the Eastern Empire have sent us a lot of reinforcements, but we have no territorial contact with the Eastern Empire. If they come from the Warcraft Mountains, they will probably reach us.
There is nothing left on the territory. Their plan is to come from the territory of the Northern Empire, but the people of the Northern Empire will not agree to this plan. The people of the Northern Empire cannot take care of themselves. They
It is impossible for them to assist us, so we need to rely on ourselves for everything. Now tell us your thoughts. Prince Ding, you were the one who commanded the last war. This time, I guess our empire will still be
It's up to you. I don't think anyone else has the ability to do such a thing." The emperor of the Western Empire saw that the other military attaches had no intention of speaking, so they could only assign them. He couldn't afford to waste this time at this time.
of.
When Prince Ding heard His Majesty the Emperor calling him, he looked like a cold war person. To be honest, if he didn't know the content of today's imperial meeting, he probably wouldn't have come. This guy defeated the Cao Family Trading Company last time.
From now on, he was directly promoted as a heroic figure by the Western Empire. For other military attaches, as long as they saw Prince Ding, they would immediately bow three times. Basically, everyone would believe what he said.
How could such a thing happen? Why hadn't we discovered that the betrothed prince had such abilities before? In the past, many military attachés didn't think much of the so-called first prince of the royal family, but no matter what,
They killed the Cao Family Trading Company's army. If it had been someone else, I don't know what the final result would have been. But they did such a thing, and they can be called heroes of the Western Empire.
When he came to the main hall, this guy knew that this was the case. Now he only knew that the Cao Family Trading Company's army had united with the Southern Empire's army, so there was no shortage of personnel. Although the Cao Family's
The trading company doesn't have many troops, but they just have to control the guys in their hands well. As for the cannon fodder things, you don't need to do them yourself. They can be done by the soldiers of the Southern Empire. With the acquisition
Compared with the huge benefits. There are no fools in the Southern Empire. They all know very well how to do things. They also all know what kind of benefits these soldiers' heads can get, compared with those benefits.
The heads of these soldiers are really nothing. If they could be exchanged in such a proportion, they would send more soldiers without hesitation. Therefore, for this reason, the human sea tactic last time was simply not possible.
.Besides, the Southern Empire has many victories now. If they think about continuing the battle, the people of the Western Empire will definitely suffer in the end. The troops of the Western Empire from the center have not yet reached the place at this time.
The army was basically in ruins. It was for this reason that Prince Ding didn't know how to answer. However, this guy was also a cunning person. He thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, I have the most trouble with you in the past two years."
Even if I rest at home, I basically don’t care much about the affairs in the army. Wei Chen doesn’t know much about the actual situation of our army now, but even a person like me who is recovering at home knows that our Western Empire is now
The most powerful combat force is the new army. Why don't Your Majesty the Emperor ask you to let the new army go to the battlefield? Their morale is high and they were trained by Prince Dian. Weichen feels that if they go to the battlefield, they will definitely be able to do it.
We worked together to kill the people of the Cao Family Trading Company. As for the land we lost, there is no problem. Not only can they get back all the original land, they can even get more land." This.
After the guy finished speaking, the face of another person wearing a prince's costume immediately turned dark. This guy is Prince Dian, a very good member of the latest rising royal family. Prince Dian is the younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor, and his biological mother is the late emperor's imperial concubine.
It can be said that this guy has a lot of background behind him. Otherwise, it would be impossible to snatch this new army away from the hands of Prince Ding. It was very enjoyable at the beginning, but I don’t know what his ability is now.
.
The Emperor of the Western Empire glanced at Prince Dian with some disgust. Bringing Prince Dian out at this time meant that he was very dissatisfied with his previous life. In fact, he cannot be blamed for this matter. Prince Dian was cast by the military himself.
The participation of another guy who can divide the rights of Prince Dian, Prince Dian, will make things easier to control. Although Prince Ding does not have much ambition, no one knows whether his son will appear.
It is not uncommon for an ambitious prince to become an emperor in the history of the royal family. Although it was the direct descendants of the royal family who obtained the throne in the end, such turmoil also brought a lot of losses to an empire. This
A generation of emperors of the Western Empire would never let such a thing happen. The Tuoba clan's chaos in the country had already frightened them, so they must not have another Tuoba clan appear, even if they were members of their own royal family.
It is also impossible, so the power in the hands of Prince Dian must be divided thinly. But what the emperor did wrong was to let Prince Dian do this. Ten members of the royal family knew that Prince Dian was a scholar.
He was not the material to lead troops at all. He had already made a mess of things that had been prepared for this guy. If the two helpers the emperor found for Prince Dian were not bad, he would probably be able to let him go in the end.
The idiot Prince Dian made things so bad that it reached his grandma's house. Prince Dian didn't know how to explain such a thing. He could only say that his talents had nothing to do with it. He knew this before.
This guy doesn't have much use. I really didn't expect him to be of much use after encountering such a thing. When people here heard Prince Dian mention Prince Dian, they all looked at it for fun. Did they use it before?
They all invested a lot of money in Prince Ding. At this time, they all hoped to be able to follow Prince Ding. Who knew that in the end, they did not succeed, but became Prince Dian's world. Everyone knows that.
Among the new army, they were the fastest rising. But no one thought that the boss of the new army was actually Prince Dian. They wanted to give gifts to Prince Dian, but they were afraid that Prince Dian would be unhappy. Besides, Dian
The prince actually doesn't accept gifts. They really didn't expect such a thing. Nowadays, no one in the royal family will do anything when they see money. But here comes an honest person who doesn't accept gifts. If it's really
If you do things according to Prince Dian's wishes, then there will be no fish in the clearest water. Each of these people has cut off their own path. None of them know how to develop. Want to
It is impossible to take the civil service route. They are all selected through the imperial examination, so now they all have to rise through the army. There is no way here. It is a pity that Prince Dian has blocked this way.
.Since you don’t give us all face, we don’t need to give you face. When they heard that Prince Ding was giving this guy a hard time, everyone couldn’t be said to be overjoyed, but they all watched the fun happily.
Let’s see what you are capable of, this kid. Normally, you talk about saints and things like that. Now, let’s see what you mean. See if you are really like a saint.
I wonder if the saint can save you today?
Prince Dian himself was a little depressed at this time. He really didn't know much about military matters. He used to be a scholar and he didn't have such big ambitions, but His Majesty the Emperor just saw this.
He is someone he can trust, and he is his younger brother. If it doesn’t help him, who else can he help? The emperor must have a lot of trust in such a person. It is a pity that he does not have that talent. Although he is doing training
Regarding the New Army, many people have said that if the New Army is in their hands, its absolute combat effectiveness will be very strong. Some people say that strict military discipline may lead to strong combat effectiveness, but others say that in normal times
They are bandits, and they become even more powerful when fighting. No matter which of these two is done well, they can actually have strong combat effectiveness. But it is a pity that Prince Dian made the new army neither of these two. If
If it were another person, it is estimated that the combat effectiveness of the new army is much tougher now. Hearing Prince Ding mention himself, this guy can't just say nothing. Looking at the people around him, they are probably waiting to see.
As for his own joke, this guy's forehead heated up and he said, "I feel something is wrong when Prince Ding said this. This matter is a matter for our entire empire. Although I was ordered to train the new army, this kind of thing is not
I am commenting from a person like me. After all, everyone says that I don’t know much about military affairs, but I do have my heart to serve the country. As long as His Majesty the Emperor asks me to go to the front line, I will immediately lead the new army there.
, no matter what the final result is, I can dedicate my own blood to the empire, and I believe everyone in the New Army can do the same." This guy expressed his determination in vain for a while, but it was of no use.
There is nothing at all. Such a literati can only use two slogans at this time. If it really goes to the battlefield, it is estimated that such people will not be able to make it through two rounds. They
These people understand it very well, but he is the emperor's younger brother and the marshal of the new army. Even if he is just talking empty words, don't any of you want to go up and say that these words are empty words? I guess you will be the first one to deal with it.
Emperor. As expected, His Majesty the Emperor nodded when he heard this and said nothing else. If what this guy said did not solve the problem at all, he knew it, but this man was his younger brother. Besides,
I also introduced it myself, and my performance during this period can be considered satisfactory. Although there are no big results, there are no big mistakes. From this, it seems that I can give a good score, but in the future
It's hard to say what he was like at that time. His Majesty the Emperor said, "What Prince Dian said is very good, but when it comes to some things on the battlefield, there is still no way to compare Prince Dian and Prince Ding. Prince Ding, you'd better say something about yourself."
The plan is ready, what our empire needs now is veteran generals like you who have experienced hundreds of battles." In one sentence, Prince Ding was praised again, but Prince Qing was not the kind of novice who had nothing.
He knows that the emperor can use him at this time, but if there is not enough benefit, he will go out and work hard just by relying on these two words of His Majesty the Emperor? This thing may not come true, and he is not a fool.
It only has benefits.
An old general who has experienced hundreds of battles. In just one sentence, the prince has been identified. In any case, as long as the Western Empire encounters something, such a person can be brought out. Except for him, everyone else can
It can be said that he is a novice. At the beginning, Prince Dian did not want to be a military commander. For him, reciting poems and making poems at home is the best thing. If he drinks a bottle of wine on a snowy night, then
The best thing is to enjoy it at home with a few close friends. It's nothing like the military camp now. It's really causing trouble. People are beaten or killed every day. How can I have so many?
I have been fighting and killing these people for a long time, but this is the order of the emperor brother and I can't do anything about it. The emperor brother is considering the affairs of the entire empire. I remember what the emperor brother said when he asked me to train the new army.
.As a member of the royal family, you cannot make your own decisions on many things. Just like your own future, what is the use of becoming the most powerful person in the Hanlin Academy? Then it will really happen.
If there is any turmoil, I am really just a helpless scholar. Now many people know that they cannot offend the prince. But at that time, there may not be many people who care about what they do. As long as
If he had blocked their way, he would definitely lose his head. For his own future, and for the future of the royal family and the empire, he could only listen to the emperor's words and join the new army. Although he was not interested in this thing.
He doesn't quite understand it, but he still does it very well. He didn't like this before, but now he does it well. He also has his own ideas about such things. At this time, he can step back and decide.
The prince is his uncle, who is higher than him. Besides, there are many close followers of Prince Ding in the army. At this time, only Prince Ding has the qualification to ask for rewards from His Majesty the Emperor.
Several of his grandsons have reached the age to be ennobled. In the past, according to the regulations of the royal family, the prince's direct grandson could only be ennobled as a duke. However, under the current circumstances, His Majesty the Emperor had to give
They have obtained the title of a county king. You must know that there is a big difference between a county king and a duke. Everyone is still very clear about this matter. There is no other way. Who asked the empire to ask others at this time?
If there was no reward at that time, there would probably be no such opportunity in the future. Prince Ding was also very satisfied with the reward given by the emperor. He even had a county prince in his family, including his grandchildren. You must know that Prince Dian had thirteen sons.
, but there is no one who has been granted the title of county king yet. He has already reached the position of prince, so he has nothing to ask for. Besides, even if the emperor wants to reward himself, he has nothing to give.
, do you want to give yourself half of the country? If so, it will probably cost you your life. He dare not think about such a thing. The thought of rebellion has never appeared in his mind. Now it is like this
The result is already very satisfactory. As for other ideas, there are absolutely no other ideas. In fact, he has his own opinions on the attack of the Cao Family Trading Company, so why should the emperor give his grandson such a position as a county king?
It's absolutely worth it, that is, his method put the Cao Family Trading Company into trouble.
Prince Ding is now considered the first among dozens of princes in the imperial court. Although there are many princes, people like him, who was previously called the pillar of the Western Empire, Prince Zheng, have this treatment, but
Prince Zheng has been in seclusion for a long time, and it is estimated that he will not come out for thousands of years, so the position of assistant prince belongs to the guy in front of him. Prince Ding glanced at the people around him, especially Prince Dian, and then
He said, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen has some opinions of his own. If what he said is wrong, we will just discuss the matter. In fact, Wei Chen came up with this idea because of your Majesty's advice to Wei Chen during the last battle.
"This sentence is obviously flattering. His Majesty the Emperor nodded. Although Prince Ding is already an old man, he is still his uncle, but I have to say that this man is very good at life. He fought last time.
At that time, I basically didn't do anything except scolding this old guy, but people just said that I had pointed her out, and no one else knew about such a thing. In fact, I didn't know either, but
I still have to say this kind of favor, just like some people on earth. As long as there is merit, the leader must take credit. If there is no leader, you don't need to say anything. You yourself
The things you have done may have been plagiarized by others without even knowing it. Such things happen a lot. Everyone heard Prince Ding continue to say, "Your Majesty, in fact, we don't need to talk to the Cao Family Trading Company and the Southern Empire at all."
This is not to say that our army is inferior to their army, but now their army has boosted their morale, and they have begun to capture our territory with overwhelming force. If we had at this time
A very powerful army can naturally fight against them, but our army is here in the capital at this time because of the last war. It will be half a year before we can go there. So I think we should make a plan quickly
Where is the second line of defense, and the place beyond the second line of defense is where we have to give up. The Cao Family Trading Company's attack will definitely continue, but those of the Southern Empire are different.
If they get benefits, I guess they will just enjoy it comfortably first. They don't have the kind of open mind to continue. At that time, they will have some disputes with the people of Cao's Trading Company. At that time
That's when we need to take action. In this way, the only enemy we have to face is the Cao Family Trading Company. Their disadvantage of insufficient manpower will show up again like last time. Moreover, this time there is no annoying navy. We are completely
They can be defeated. At that time, the people in the Northern Empire would not let go of the opportunity to beat the drowned dog. In the end, the Cao Family Trading Company would definitely not be able to hold on, and the remaining Southern Empire would be able to deal with them properly.
, last time because of the interference of the Cao Family Trading Company, the Northern Empire did not join forces with us. This is because the Cao Family Trading Company has been defeated. They will definitely come to divide things. Although we suffered a little loss and the Northern Empire benefited, this is also us.
The only way at the moment." I have to say that the prince's method is quite good. Many people in the hall nodded. This is a safe method.
The emperor of the Western Empire knew more or less about some military matters. When Prince Ding was talking, this guy was listening carefully to this question. Now he is thinking about it himself. It seems that he just told this guy
The same as before, many things need to be done slowly. Rushing is not enough. Now even if we get the army over, it is impossible to change the situation of the war. Besides, time is a long-standing problem. People
It’s past time. These logistical supports also cost a lot of money. At this time, there is no other way. It can be said that there is basically no money in the treasury, but Cao’s Commercial Bank has a lot of bills.
, they will naturally not default on their debts. You must know that they all have a lot of things mortgaged with Cao's Commercial Bank. If they default on their debts, it is estimated that the people in Cao's Commercial Bank will be happy to let them default on their debts, and then in the end
At that time, they directly sold those things, and in the end they gained a lot of profits. The emperor of the Western Empire said, "Well, Prince Ding is indeed the pillar of our Western Empire. This is how the matter was done. It's just that the Northern Empire
Things on the other side should not be so easy to do. Although the people of the Northern Empire have joined the Anti-Cao Alliance, alas, if we don’t talk about this alliance now, it basically has no effect. I don’t know what the meaning of this alliance is.
This alliance has never done anything. If it weren't for this damn alliance, we in the Western Empire might not have the things we are seeing now. It's all because of this damn alliance that people from the Cao Family Trading Company are targeting us.
Although we are not afraid of them, the people of the Cao Family Trading Company are like poisonous snakes. If we are bitten by them, our life will not be easy. For us, these people must be killed. Those in the Northern Empire
Bian is related to Cao Keke. The reason why the alliance was not formed last time was because of Cao's Commercial Bank's silver bullet offensive. If he does that again this time, I guess the people from the Northern Empire will still not take action. We can get
Those who come out to cooperate with the Northern Empire are the lands of the Southern Empire, but what the Northern Empire needs is not land, what they need is money, and this is something we can't get." The emperor of the Western Empire also knew that the Northern Empire's
It's not that simple for people to take action. For such an empire, they are on the same level as them. They have no way to let this empire do anything for free, even if they don't need any of their own land, all of them
Give it all to them, and I guess they won't do anything. This is the habit of these people. Prince Ding is silent now. Just now, he told all the things that His Majesty the Emperor asked him. He has nothing to do with other people.
I don’t know much about some of the things. If I want to continue talking, I don’t have those things in my stomach. I really don’t understand diplomatic matters like the relationship with the Northern Empire, so naturally I need other people to come.
Having said that, anyway, this scenery cannot be all his own. He understands this very well. Why didn't anyone speak up when Prince Dian was embarrassed just now? It's because this guy is usually too arrogant.
No one is willing to talk to him at all. It is for this reason that this guy can just be depressed. In the future, he must not say that this matter has anything to do with me.
While the people of the Western Empire were discussing this matter, the front line was also going on. There was also a confrontation between the blitzkrieg carried out by the Cao Family Trading Company and the positional warfare of the Southern Empire. The people of the Cao Family Trading Company did not want to be given away by the spoils of war.
What's stuck is that they hope to attack quickly. They are attacking now, and they must continue to attack next. They must continue to maintain the speed of dozens of counties and cities a day, so that they can capture the greatest fruits of victory.
, in the end it really couldn’t be pushed forward, and I would eat these things slowly at that time, but the plan of the Cao Family Trading Company is simply fatal to the people of the Southern Empire, and they don’t want so many gold and silver treasures.
? This is simply such a waste. We don’t have the financial resources of your Cao Family Trading Company. We have to take all these away. We have to be responsible for our own wallets. Many people think this way.
