Chapter nine hundred and thirty second well-intentioned
Song Qing looked at Liu Mingzhi's slightly forced smile, and a faint uneasiness flashed in his eyes.
“Third brother, don’t take it to heart, brothers have no other intentions.
The matter of war is just part of it. The brothers are more worried that if the soldiers are failed in the case of the battle, the matter of the soldiers will have a great impact on your future reputation!
Don’t be as knowledgeable as your brothers.
After all, brothers don’t want to see how they should decide how to unify the world in such a way that involves great risks even though they clearly have the advantage of winning.”
“Brother, you think too much.
It’s not unrealistic to express some emotions, but I don’t want to hide anything from you.
This is not just about Cheng Kai and the six seniors of the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang, I'm afraid it's also about you.
You had no choice but to accept the order due to military orders, but fundamentally you still don’t agree with my decision just like the brothers, right?"
Song Qing looked at Liu Mingzhi's helpless eyes, smiled bitterly and nodded.
“As expected, I can’t hide it from your eyes. I am indeed involved behind the scenes.
But the brothers were really worried that something might happen, so they recommended Cheng Kai to come out and give you blunt advice.
Cheng Kai should elaborate on the pros and cons that we all have summarized for you one by one. In fact, we don’t understand. You are the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. How can you not understand things that we can all see?
Brothers, I just hope you can reconsider."
“Brother, I understand what you mean.
But have you ever thought about it, this is the territory of the Turks. Once the two armies fight and the Turks have a geographical advantage, we have lost 10% of the chance of winning. Don't you deny this?"
Song Qing thought for a while and nodded gently.
“There is no denying that although our army has made several Northern Expeditions to the Turks, it was only the last Northern Expedition that penetrated deep into the grasslands and reached such an area.
Advertisement, [app ] is really good, it’s worth installing, even Android and Apple phones support it!
Although we have touched upon the terrain of the Turkic territory around the Moro River and south of the Yin Mountains, we don’t know much about it.
In addition, the vast grassland stretches as far as the eye can see, and there are few identifying objects to identify the direction.
If the two armies of the Turks confront each other in this territory, compared to the native Turks, who can only command the troops based on the map and sand table gathered by the scouts, the Turks do have a geographical advantage."
“Pertinent, brother, you will not forget that all Turks are a nation where men, women, old and young can be soldiers.”
"Of course not. Due to their national characteristics, the Turks have made a living by nomadic hunting since ancient times. In order to resist the attacks of wolves and other wild beasts, even if they are not formal soldiers and horses, 90% of the Turks, regardless of men, women, old and young, have good cavalry skills.
Shooting skills."
Liu Mingzhi reached out and took off the tobacco bag from Song Qing's waist, lit it with a fire stick while carrying it on his back, and started puffing away the smoke.
“We Dalong have a saying that rabbits will bite when they are anxious, not to mention that Turks are not rabbits.
If we are forced into a hurry and the Turks are jealous of being killed, is there a possibility of a deadly counterattack?
Although there is no fact that it has happened, it is only said that it is possible?”
“It’s possible!
Just like the fall of the Jin Kingdom the year before last, the people of the Jin Kingdom would rather destroy the city and burn their houses, and return to their ancestral land as displaced people, than drag their families and families to become subjects under my rule, Dalong.
Although there is a reason why Queen Jin, my younger brother and sister, issued the order, it can also be seen that the Turkic people’s recognition of their younger brother and sister, the empress, is quite impressive!
If the Turks are pushed into a hurry, there is a real possibility that all the Turks will mount up to fight!"
“So with the current population of the Turks, even if only half of the Turks jump over the wall, will our chances of winning be reduced by another 10%?
Coupled with the geographical advantages occupied by the Turks, our chances of winning are only 80%!”
“Yes, from an overall perspective, it is indeed the case!”
“You also know my junior brother Huyan Yunyao, she is not someone who cannot make a decision to make a life-or-death decision.
If the time comes that she would rather imitate Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, and risk everything, rather than surrender, the fighting power of the Turkic cavalry who are determined to fight to the death, may it be possible to severely damage our troops."
"have!"
“Then the odds of winning have been reduced by another 10%, do you agree?”
Song Qing frowned and pondered for a long time, drank the wine and nodded with eyes twinkling.
“Absolutely agree!”
“This means that our chance of successfully defeating the Turkic troops is only 70%. Adding in the factors of some guest officials, we have an 80% chance at best.
Yes or no?”
“The odds of winning are around 80%, and based on various possible changes, it is indeed very fair.”
“Well! Once this happens to the Turks, and the Jin soldiers and horses stationed in the Turks have not yet returned to the court, they will have the thought of death and sorrow.
They will be afraid. If we use such powerful weapons against the Turks, will we also trap and kill them when they surrender?
When any unpredictable situation occurs, it may cause the remnant soldiers of the Jin Kingdom to follow the Turks' belief that they would rather die for the country and die generously than live in an ignoble way!
Having been fighting for more than ten years, you have seen the fearless behavior of soldiers from all sides more than once once they become red-blooded.
So, if we look at the overall situation, have the odds of winning been reduced by another 10%?”
Song Qing could not help but take a breath of air: "Hiss, it is indeed possible!"
“So based on this calculation, our chance of winning is actually only 60%.
By then, because of my relationship with Wanyan and Yue'er, my brother and I, even though we may be able to reduce some damage, facing the combined forces of the two countries, our chances of winning the world unification are only 60 to 70% at best.
Coupled with some uncertain reasons, it may increase to about 80%.
After all, the troops of the two countries today are different from ours. They are all elite troops.
With the addition of various combat weapons, the 60-70% chance of victory is indeed a guaranteed victory.
The inevitable victory means that it is a foregone conclusion that the dragon will unify the world.
However, the dragon can guarantee the final outcome of dominating the world, but you should have an idea of what price it will pay, right?
We will have to sacrifice at least 200,000 troops and even more troops to successfully unify the world.
Even if the cost is at least 200,000 elites.
It will take 600,000 new soldiers and several battles to slowly accumulate so many elite soldiers and horses!"
Song Qing’s brows knit together tightly: “I will finally understand your difficulties!”
“Alas! Just understand!
Now that I have an opportunity to peacefully unify the world without spending a single soldier or losing any blood, why should I sacrifice the lives of more than 200,000 or more young brothers to unify the world?
I told you a few days ago that it would be best if you win. If you lose, let’s talk about the blood-stained swordsmanship and the unification of the world in a bloody battle!
I thought this was just a duel between me and my junior brother, but I never expected that Wanyuan would have to twist her temper and join in.
But there is not much difference.
After all, the duel in military formation is only a prerequisite for unifying the world.
We have prepared for the worst, so what else do we have to worry about?
As for the so-called infamy and bad reputation, I have told you that I don’t care, I don’t care at all, so don’t hold it against yourself.
Whether it is one emperor for all eternity or a tyrant.
After death, isn’t it just a handful of dirt?
Regardless of the stormy waves, what does it have to do with us, the dead?"
Song Qing nodded silently: "Listening to you is better than ten years of reading. Since you have a perfect plan, I won't waste any more words!"
I said it a few days ago, it’s okay if you ask me to charge into battle, but if you ask me to command three armies and millions of soldiers, I don’t have the ability at all.
Obviously, I don’t have such a far-sighted view of the overall situation as you do!”
