It is actually not difficult to convince Fan Yong and Cao Yi, but it is more difficult to convince Chen Lin. He is the supervisor of the army, and his most important mission is to supervise every move of the army on behalf of the Tianjia during the war. Of course, he
We must also ensure that the military strategy formulated by Tianjia will not lead to destruction.
Originally it was Lan Jizong who should have taken action in person, but he was getting old after all, and no longer had the courage to draw a strong bow and shoot flying arrows in front of Li Deming when Dang Xiang was sent as an envoy.
Chen Lin didn't want to be the supervisor of the army this time, but Lan Jizong kept persuading him, saying that Ye An was a man who knew military affairs at first glance. He couldn't be born with this knowledge, and it was only his family training.
Nakamoto has these things!
Chen Lin became excited when she mentioned Ye An's family education... He and Lan Jizong discussed in private that they would do nothing else in the remaining days except to squeeze out Ye An's family education!
But Chen Lin didn't expect Ye An to be so "nonsense", let's listen to his plan! Lure the enemy deeper? This is what everyone in the Song Dynasty is most worried about! Only when the enemy is outside the Xiaoqiang, there is no reason to wait for the enemy to fight against the Xiaoqiang.
?!
"Boy, you are going to turn against the entire court! A certain family advises you to get rid of this thought as soon as possible. Once the party members cross the Xiamao Village and set foot on the Song Dynasty, it will be the fault of the officials and the saints! It is about the national system,
How can we let Beiliao see the joke?!"
Chen Lin finally spoke, with annoyance and reluctance in her voice. He didn't expect Ye An to make such a stupid suggestion. He had some doubts in his heart that this kid didn't understand military matters at all?
Is Zhao Kuo really a "paper talker" as the courtiers said?
But looking at Ye An's confident look, Chen Lin was a little unsure. He knew Ye An, even more than many courtiers. From the time he came down from Songshan Mountain, she knew every move he made.
Even when Xuan Chengzi resigned to worship at Xitou, he specifically told himself not to mess with this kid, saying that he would sometimes get crazy and even scare him.
Now that I think about it, it’s really true, who would come up with such a self-destructive strategy?
Ye An saw the worries of everyone present, but for him, this was all expected. It was not easy to convince these three people, but he had already made up his mind to do something before.
It’s even harder to convince yourself!
"Fan Shizhi, how much time and money does the Song Dynasty spend every year on guarding against party members in the northwest? I'm afraid no one knows better than you, the Third Secretary, right? If we can put down the chaos in Huanzhou and at the same time, use force against party members.
With mighty virtue, we won’t have to worry about party members for more than ten years. How much energy and money can the country save?”
Fan Yong pondered for a moment and then looked at Ye An and said: "Every year, the imperial court spends a lot of money in the northwest, mostly on the repair of the city and the use of troops. The people walking around are also miserable. If we can really make the party members not dare to invade, it will be really great.
It's a blessing for me! But you kid, don't let me let go of this matter. You must not lure the enemy in!"
"The pros outweigh the cons, so why is Fan Shizhi unwilling to do it?!"
"Hey, kid, don't try to provoke me. It's good for the country, but everything can be done as you say? What if everything fails? It won't be your fault or mine, but the country's.
If you fail, I will kill myself and have no face to see the late emperor!"
In fact, Fan Yong expressed the worries of Cao Yi and Chen Lin. Everyone present was interested in Ye An's plan and the benefits it would bring. Even Cao Yi had the intention to work with Ye An.
plan.
But if this matter fails, the terrible consequences are something they are unwilling to bear. Neither Cao Yi, Fan Yong, nor Chen Lin are willing to take this risk.
Cao Yi pretended to be deaf and dumb, and Fan Yong became the only one to veto Ye An's proposal.
In the eyes of the three of them, they were there to quell the Huanzhou Rebellion and to frighten the Dangxiang people, but they were not there to actively encircle and suppress the Dangxiang people, let alone to put the Dangxiang people into the Song Dynasty for encirclement and suppression!
The risk of doing this is tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house, so no matter how Ye An tries to persuade him, it will never succeed unless a powerful person comes forward to "endorse" Ye An's plan.
Who is the powerful one? Liu E is the only one. Besides her, it is useless for the princes under Zhongshu’s sect to come to endorse him, because they themselves cannot afford the serious consequences of failure.
Ye An did not regret telling them his plan. This was what he expected. He just never thought that people in this era would be more concerned about stability than later generations. If he followed his plan, the possibility of success would be very high.
, but it’s that sentence “Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance of failure, it is unbearable.”
In Ye An's opinion, this can not only stabilize Huanzhou, but also protect Ganliang and Ganzhou. Ganliang and Ganzhou are the top priority!
He was a little angry and helpless. He had thought about not mentioning it for now and would discuss it with the three people after arriving in Huanzhou. However, time was tight. If the Song Dynasty advanced smoothly in Huanzhou, the Xiqiang people's
Once the rebellion is suppressed, his chances of succeeding will become even slimmer.
Only by informing the three people of the plan in detail and then acting on the plan can we make it possible to lure the enemy deeper and make early plans to inflict heavy damage on the party members.
Because Ye An knew that the future wars of the Song Dynasty would be fought more with the Dangxiang people, and there would be far more contests between the two sides than between Song and Liao.
The most unfortunate thing is that the war between the Song Dynasty and Dangxiang continued to win small victories, but there was no major victory. It seemed like a curse surrounding the Song Empire.
There is no doubt about the power of the Song Dynasty. Even if it cannot compare with the prosperous Tang Dynasty and cannot compete with the powerful Han Dynasty, we have to admit that it is still a powerful dynasty in the Han civilization, much more powerful than the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
As for Dangxiang, it was just a small tribe at that time. It got the permission of the Tang Dynasty to stay in the northwest. The origin of Dangxiang can be seen from Li Deming's surname.
But even under such circumstances, Dangxiang was able to repeatedly defeat the Song Dynasty, an empire that far surpassed him in many aspects such as economy, culture, technology, etc. This was incredible to Ye An.
After all, the war was not only about military strength, but also about the comprehensive national strength of the two countries. According to the size of the Song Dynasty, no civilization should be able to crush it, but the reality is so magical.
With the garrison in and around Huanzhou, there was no need for the imperial court to send pacifying envoys and military envoys to intervene. They should have been suppressed by the local garrison at the beginning of the Western Qiang rebellion.
As for the defenders in Huanzhou? Instead of being suppressed, the local garrison commander Zhao Shilong and the commander-in-chief made Du Cheng and others martyred. This is simply an incredible thing.
No wonder the court was shaken. Even the Xiqiang people couldn't deal with it. How to deal with the Dangxiang people?!
This was also one of the shortcomings of the military administration of the Song Dynasty. It was okay to deal with foreign enemies. After all, the invasion of foreign enemies would result in broken mountains and rivers and ruined lives. But when facing internal enemies, they always responded with a superior attitude and an extremely arrogant attitude.
I always thought that the barbarian tribes were just local chickens and dogs, but the reality dealt a severe blow to the Song Dynasty. The Western Qiang people gathered and attacked, and several military villages and cities fell, which was comparable to a party invasion.
The defenders of Huanzhou forgot that Dangxiang was once one of the Tibetan tribes that surrendered to the Han civilization...
